Abstract
This study was performed to identify detailed informations on the nonvolatile flavor of Chinese quince fruits, Chaenomeles sinensis koehne. About 72% of the free amino acids were shown to be valine, asparagine, ${\gamma}-aminobutyric\;acid$, aspartic acid and serine. Arginine, tyrosine, methionine and tryptophan were not present. Glutamic acid and glutamine as a amino acid for peptides were the major components, whereas cysteic acid, methionine sulfone and tryptophan were not detected. The nucleotides attained were composed of cytosine, uridine-5'-monophosphate and cytidine-5'-monophosphate, and these were proved to be a very small quantity. Guanosine-5'-monophosphate, inosine-5'-monophosphate and adenosine-5'-monophosphate were not present. The major sugars were shown to be glucose, sorbose, sucrose and fructose. Fructose was the most abundant one among them. A total of 11 organic acids were identified by capillary gas chromatography and capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The major components identified were tartaric acid and α-ketoglutaric acid. The total content of vitamin C determined was 386.6mg%, and those of ascorbic, dehydroascorbic, and 2, 3-diketo-L-gulonic acid were 28.8mg%, 154.5mg% and 197.3mg%, respectively. Calcium and phosphorus were the major components, while heavy metals such as cadmium, copper and lead were determined to be a small amount. In the result of organoleptic test on the natural and synthetic extract of Chinese quince fruits, the principal taste components consisted of free amino acids, sugars, organic acids, vitamin C and minerals. Five groups mentioned would have a favorable influence upon the taste of fresh Chinese quince fruits.
본 연구는 모과의 비휘발성 성분에 과한 조성을 규명하기 위한 기초 연구 과제로써 행하여졌다. 주요 비휘발성 성분은 유리 아미노산의 경우 valine, asparagin ${\gamma}-aminobutyric\;acid$, aspartic acid 와 serine 이 전체의 72%를 차지하고 arginine, tyrosine, methionine과 tryptophan은 거의 검출되지 않아다. Peptide 구성 아미노산으로는 주로 glutamic acid와 glutamine이었으며 cysteic acid, methione sulfone과 tryptophan은 검출되지 않았다. 핵산관련 물질의 분석 결과 cytosine, UMP, CMP는 소량 존재하셨으며 GMP, IMP, AMP는 검출되지 않았다. 당 분석결과 주성분은 glucose, sorbose, sucrose, fructose였으며 fructose 함량이 가장 높은 것으로 판명되었다. GC 및 GC-MS방법에 의해 총 11성분의 유기산이 동정 되었으며 이들중 tartaric acid및 ${\alpha}-ketoglutaric\;acid$가 주성분이었다. 정량된 총 비타민 C 함량은 386.6 mg%였으며 ascorbic-acid dehydroascorbic acid와 2,3-diketo-L-gulonic acid는 각각 28.8mg%, 154.5mg%, 197.3mg%였다. 무기성분으로는 칼슘과 인이 주요 성분으로 나타났으며 카드뮴, 구리, 납은 소량 존재하였다. 모과의 천연 및 합성 extract에 대한 관능검사의 결과 유리형, 아미노산, 당, 유기산, 비타민 C및 무기질의 맛의 주성분으로 판명되었다. 따라서 모과의 향미 성분 중 비휘발성 성분은 주로 상기 다섯 그룹에 의해서 나타남을 확인하였다.
