Abstract
Leek(Allium tuberosum Rotter) is a korean traditional herb of which leaves are used for daily food. In order to improve the potency of leek as a functional food, we investigated the several biochemical functions in vitro. The quinone reductase activity, an anticarcinogenic enzyme, was induced 2 times at the concentration of 1mg/ml of leek as compared to that of negative control(80% methanol). The induction of SOD(Superoxide dismutase) activity was also demonstrated. But the functional activities of leek were shown to be a little difference depending on the place where the leek was produced. The difference might to be due to the different environmental factors where affects the growth of leek. In an experiment to test the lypolytic activity of leek, the glycerol release was significantly increased(about 3 times to that of negative control). This was suggested that leek can be considered as a potential food for diet. The above results provide the potential food, and more profound research is requested.
포항 지역에서 생산되는 부추를 중심으로 부추의 식품기능성 분석을 한 결과 암예방 지표 효소인 QR의 유도능을 확인하였고 항산화 효소의 유도능도 확인하였다. QR 유도능은 음성대조구에 비해 약 2배 이상의 활성을 보여 앞으로 더 많은 연구를 기대하게 한다. 지역에 따른 QR 유도능과 SOD 유사 활성 유도능의 차이는 각 지역의 토질과 환경에 의한 차이에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 이에 대한 구체적인 연구는 토양분석 등 기후 특성에 대한 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다. 부추의 항비만 기능성 식품으로서의 가능성을 지방세포 분해능에 의해 측정한 결과
