초록

본 연구는 농촌진흥청에서 개발한 유전자 변형(제초제 저항성) 고추와 모종인 수비초 고추의 영양성분을 분석하고 유전자 변형된 경우 영양성분에 차이가 있는지 비교하기 위하여 수행하였다. 영양성분은 AOAC법을 이용하여 주요 영양소(단백질, 지방, 섬유소, 회분, 당질)와 무기질(칼슘, 칼륨, 나트륨, 마그네슘, 아연, 철) 함량을 분석하였고, 식품성분표에 제시된 일반 고추의 영양성분과 비교하였다. 그 결과 유전자 변형 고추는 모종 고추와 영양성분 함량이 유사하였고, 일반적인 고추의 영양성분 함량 범위 내에 있어 실질적인 동등성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

This study performed compositional analyses of a genetically modified herbicide-tolerant red pepper (GMHT), developed by the Rural Development Administration, and a parental red pepper cultivar 'Subicho', and compared the nutrient composition of them. Using the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) methods, the study measured the concentration of nutrients, including the proximate components (protein, fat, fiber, ash, and carbohydrates) and minerals (Ca, K, Na, Fe, Mg, Zn) of GMHT and 'Subicho'. Nutritional composition of GMHT and 'Subicho' were compared with the nutritional composition of conventional red peppers. The nutrient composition of GMHT and 'Subicho' were found similar, and GMHT's nutrient contents were in the range of those of the conventional red peppers. These results showed that GMHT's nutrient contents were equivalent to those of the parental red pepper and other conventional red peppers.
