Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate drying methods for keeping freshness and active components of aerial part of Saururus chinensis. Chopped samples were prepared using hot air drying, hot air drying + roasting, presteamed + hot air drying, freeze drying, and sun drying. Drying time was shorter $88{\sim}93%$ in hot air drying and freeze drying than in sun drying. Percentage of dry matter was higher in the order of freeze drying > sun drying > hot air drying, and moisture content in the order of sun drying > hot air drying > freeze drying. The contents of total phenolics and quercetin related substances were greater in the order of freeze drying > hot air drying > sun drying, while were decreased due to treatments before or after hot air drying. Electron donating ability (EDA) was highest in freeze drying, and showed a little difference between hot air drying and sun drying, but was increased because of treatments before or after hot air drying. In color values, the a value was lower in the order of freeze drying < hot air drying < sun drying. The contents of active components of plant parts of hot air dried were higher in the order of flower >leaf > chopped sample > stem. EDA showed similar tendency with those. The a value was lower in the order of leaf < chopped sample < flower < stem. As a result, freeze drying of chopped samples or hot air drying of leaf and flower were effective to maintain qualities of aerial part of Saururus chinensis.
삼백초의 유효성분과 선도유지에 적합한 건조방법을 구명하고자 건조방법을 달리하여 건조시킨 후 건조방법별 유효성분 함량과 선도를 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 건조방법별 건조시간은 양건에 비해 열풍건조와 동결건조시 $88{\sim}93%$ 단축되었다. 건물수율은 동결건조 > 양건 > 열풍건조 순으로 높았고, 건조후 수분 함량은 양건 > 열풍건조 > 동결건조 순으로 높았다. 2. 총페놀성 화합물과 quercetin 관련물질 함량은 동결건조 > 열풍건조 > 양건 순으로 높았으며, 열풍건조후 볶음 또는 건조전 증자 처리를 함으로써 감소되었다. 항산화 활성은 동결건조에서 가장 높았고, 열풍건조와 양건 간에는 차이가 없었으며, 열풍건조후 볶음 또는 건조전 증자 처리를 함으로써 증가하여 총페놀성 화합물과 quercetin 관련물질 함량과는 다른 경향을 보였다. 3. 적색도 (a)는 동결건조 < 열풍건조 < 양건 순으로 낮았다. 4. 열풍건조시 부위별 총페놀성화합물과 quercetin 관련물질 함량은 꽃 > 잎 > 세절 > 줄기 순으로 높았으며, 항산화 활성도 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 부위별 적색도는 잎 < 세절 < 꽃 < 줄기 순으로 낮았다. 5. 삼백초의 유효성분과 선도유지에 적합한 건조방법은 세절하여 동결건조하거나 잎과 꽃만을 열풍건조하는 것이 효과적이었다.
