Tocopherols and fatty acids in plant seeds from Korea

한국산 두류 종실중 토코페롤 함량 및 지방산 조성

The concentrations of tocopherols and lipids, and compositions of fatty acids in the seeds of thirteen pulse plants, which are used for the raw materials of our traditional food as well as for the typical nutrients in Korea, were analyzed by HPLC and GC. The beans showed great differences of the tocopherol concentrations from 4.74 to 44.05 mg/100g, which were in the order of ${\gamma}->{\delta}->{\alpha}-tocopherol$ with the exception of the order of ${\delta}->{\gamma}->{\alpha}-tocopherol$ in jeock sodu and gal sodu of azuki bean. The contents of lipids were also remarkably different as 0.53 to 20.96%. Especially, the beans having from 15.78 to 20.96% of lipid contents showed high composition ratios of unsaturated fatty acid between 85.6 to 88.2%, of which the contents of linoleic acid were the highest as 56.0 to 58.6% of the total fatty acids, and also showed comparatively high concentrations of tocopherols as 23.2 to 44.05 mg/100g. There were significantly positive correlation between ${\gamma}-tocopherol$ and unsaturated fatty acids.

한국에서 다양한 용도의 식품원료로 사용되고 있는 13개 두류의 종실에 대한 토코페롤과 지방산조성을 HPLC와 GC로 각각 분석하였다. 총 토코페롤 함량은 $4.74{\sim}44.05\;mg/100g$으로 두류에 따라 함량차이가 현저하였으며, 동족체별 토코페롤 함량은 ${\gamma}->{\delta}->{\alpha}-$토코페롤 순이었으나, 적소두 및 갈소두에서는 ${\delta}->{\gamma}->{\alpha}-$토코페롤 순이었다. 지방질 함량도 $0.53{\sim}20.96%$로 함량차가 현저하였으며, 특히 지방질 함량이 $15.78{\sim}20.96%$인 두류는 불포화지방산의 조성비가 $86.5{\sim}88.2%$로 높았고 그 중 linoleic acid가 $56.0{\sim}56.8%$로 현저하게 높았으며, 총 토코페롤 함량도 $23.2{\sim}44.05\;mg/100g$으로 높은 경향이었다. 또한 불포화지방산과 ${\gamma}$-토코페롤간에는 정의 상관관계가 인정되었다.
