밤꽃의 화학성분

Chemical Components of Chestnut Flower(Castanea crenata)

밤꽃에 대한 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 밤꽃 중의 화학적인 특성을 조사하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 밤꽃에 함유된 총당, 환원당, 조단백질, 조지방 및 회분의 함량은 개화전 시료에서 10.44, 4.91,. 8.80, 1.42 및 0.87%였으며, 개화 후 시료에서는 각각 11.75, 7.04, 7.71, 2.26 및 0.66%이었다. 밤꽃 물추출물의 갈변도는 개화전의 시료가 개화후의 시료보다 높았으며, flavonoids와 nonflavonoids의 함량은 개화전 시료에서 7.05와 0.52%였고, 개화 후에는 2.08과 0.22%이었다. Sucrose, fructose 및 glucose와 같은 유리당의 함량은 개화전 시료에서 2.90, 0.72 및 0.71%였으며, 개화 후에는 2.65, 2.10 및 2.20%였다. 개화전 밤꽃의 주요 아미노산은 threonine, proline 및 cystine이며, 그 함량은 각각 28. 96, 12.49 및 11.43%이었고, 개화후의 시료에서는 aspartic acid 및 glutamic acid로 그 함량이 각각 16.19와 11.9%이었다.

To obtain fundamental data from chestnut flower, chemical properties were investigated. The results are as follows. The contents of total sugar, reducing sugar, crude protein, crude fat and ash in prebloomed chestnut flower were 10.44, 4.91, 8.80, 1.42 and 0.87%, in the postbloomed were 11, 75, 7.04, 7.71, 2.26 and 0.66%, respectively. The browning degree of the extracts from the prebloomed sample was higher than that of the postbloomed. The contents of flavonoids and nonflavonoids in the prebloomed sample were 7.05 and 0.52%, in the postbloomed were 2.08% and 0.22%, respectively. The contents of free sugars such as sucrose, fructose and glucose in the prebloomed sample were 2.90, 0.72 and 0.71%, in the postbloomed were 2.65, 2.10 and 2.20%, respectively. The major amino acids in the prebloomed sample were threonine, proline and cystine and its contents were 28.96, 12.49 and 11.43%. But aspartic are glutamic acid were major amino acids in the postbloomed and its contents were 16.19 and 11.90%, respectively.
