Studies on the Development of Food Resources from Waste Seeds V. Chemical Composition of Water-melon Seed

폐기종실(廢棄種實)의 식량자원화(食糧資源化)에 관(關)하여 제(第)5보(報) : 수박씨의 화학적(化學的) 조성(組成)

An attempt was made to find out the possibility of utilizing water-melon seed as resources of food fats and protein. The water-melon seed contained 40.40% of crude fat and 28.36% of crude protein. The lipid fraction obtained by silicic acid column chromatography was composed of about 97.35% neutral lipid, and the main components of neutral lipid by thin layer chromatography were triglyceride(50.40%), diglyceride(21.84%) and sterol(11.48%). The predominant fatty acids of total and major lipid classes were linoleic acid(55.30-67.85%), palmitic acid(12.07-28.12%) and oleic acid(9.06-16.40%), whereas stearic acid and linolenic acid were detected as small amounts. The salt soluble protein of watermelon seed was highly dispersible in 0.02M sodium phosphate buffer containing about 0.7M $MgSO_4$, and the extractability of seed protein was about 27%. Glutamic acid and arginine were major amino acids, and the essential amino acids such as lysine, threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine and phenylalanine were also detected. The electrophoretic analysis showed 6 bands in water-melon seed protein, and the collection rate of the main protein fraction purified by sephadex G-100 and G-200 was 52.4%. The amino acids of the main fraction protein were also mainly composed of glutamic acid and arginine. The molecular weight for the main protein of the water-melon seed was estimated to be 120,000.

수박씨를 효율적(效率的)으로 이용(利用)할 목적(目的)에서 지질(脂質) 및 단백질(蛋白質)의 특성(特性)을 검토(檢討)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. 수박씨의 일반(一般) 성분(成分) 중(中) 조지방(粗脂肪)과 조단백질(粗蛋白質)은 각각(各各) 40.40% 및 28.36%였다. 2. 수박씨의 지질(脂質)은 중성지질(中性脂質)이 97.35%였으며, 중성지질(中性脂質)의 성분(成分)으로는 triglyceride(50.40%) diglyceride(21.84%) 및 sterol(11.48%)이 대부분(大部分)을 차지하고 있었다. 3. 지방산(脂肪酸) 조성(組成)은 linoleic acid(55.30~67.85%) palmitic acid(12.07~28.12%) 및 oleic acid(9.06~16.40%)가 주(主) 지방산(脂肪酸)이었으며, 그밖에 stearic acid와 linolenic acid가 소량(少量)씩 함유(含有)되어 있었다. 4. 염(鹽)(0.7M $MgSO_4$)용해성(溶解性) 단백질(蛋白質)의 추출율(抽出率)은 약(約) 27%, 아미노산(酸) 조성(組成)은 glutamic acid와 arginine이 높은 함량(含量)이었고, lysine, threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine 및 phenylalanine과 같은 필수(必須) 아미노산(酸)이 검출(檢出)되었다. 5. 호박씨 단백질(蛋白質)의 전기영동(電氣泳動) band는 6개로 나타났고, 분획(分劃)된 주(主) 단백질(蛋白質)의 수율(收率)은 52.4%였으며, 아미노산(酸) 조성(組成)은 전체 단백질(蛋白質)에서와 같이 glutamic acid와 arginine이 높게 나타났다. 6. 염용해성(鹽溶解性) 단백질(蛋白質)에서 분획(分劃)된 주(主) 단백질(蛋白質) 분자량(分子量)은 약(約) 120,000이었다.
