Evaluation of Enteral Foods Prepared with Soybean Dietary Fiber for Patients with Diarrhea

대두 식이섬유를 이용한 특수 영양식품의 유효성 평가

In the development of enteral foods for the patients with diarrhea, soybean hull, by-products of soybean processing, was used to prepare crude dietary fiber extracts (soybean hull fiber, SHF). Total dietary fiber content of SHF is 85% and their composition are 86.1% cellulose, 8.1% hemi-cellulose, and 4.7% lignin. The effects of SHF on the prevention of diarrhea were studied in animal. Spraque-Dawley (SD) rats were fed AIN93G diets containing 5% dietary fiber for 3days simultaneously inducing diarrhea with the phenolphthalein Mg citrate solution. On day 4, feces were collected at different time point. Dietary fibers used for the animal study were SHF, soybean cotyledon fiber (SCF), psyllium husk fiber (PHF), and chicory fiber (CF). ${\alpha}$-cellulose was used as a control. Body weight gain, calorie consumed and food efficiency ratio among the experimental groups were not different. However, water content in the feces of SHF group was significantly lower by 10%, compared with other groups at 24hrs. time point. This effect was even greater in the feces collected later than 24 hrs. time point. SHF seems to have a greater effects on slow the symptom of diarrhea. Based on the previous results, enteral food enriched with SHF were prepared and its effect was compared with other commercially available products from domestic or imported ones. Weight changes among experimental groups were not different, but the moisture content of feces consumed SHF enriched products were lower than that of other products. Approximately 10% decrease in water content was observed from feces collected at 24 hr time point. According to the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability of the enteral food enriched with SHF was 3.24 out of 5 indicating that taste of this product is acceptable.

대두가공에 부산물로부터 얻어지는 대두 식이섬유를 이용하여 설사환자를 위한 경장 영양 식이를 개발하기 위하여 쥐에게 투여한 후 체중증가율, 변의 수분감소, 사료효율 등을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 대두피 중의 식이섬유 함량은 85% 이었고 cellulose 가장 높았으며 hemi-cellulose, lignin의 순 이었다. 대두 식이섬유가 대조구에 비하여 체중 감소율은 약간 낮았고 사료효율은 약간 높았다. 대두 식이섬유를 섭취시킨 쥐가 치커리 식이섬유, 차전자 피에 비하여 24시간 후의 변의 수분함량은 10% 낮았다. 대두 식이섬유를 첨가한 경장영양식이로 사육한 쥐의 체중변화와 사료효율은 3제품 간에 차이가 없었으나 다른 하나의제품은 대조군에 비하여 낮았다. 대두 식이섬유를 이용하여 가공한 경장영양식이 다른 상업용 제품에 비하여 실험쥐의 변 수분함량은 10% 이상 낮았다.
