High Quality Green Tea Extract Production from Enzyme Treated Fresh Green Tea Leaves

효소를 이용한 녹차 생엽에서 고품질 녹차 추출물 생산

  • Published : 2008.08.30

Abstract

Fresh green tea leaf extracts were prepared by different enzyme treatment conditions, such as concentration, treating time and treating temperature using complex enzyme, Rapidase TF, and then extracted for 30 min at $80^{\circ}C$ to investigate their physicochemical properties. The results showed that free sugar content in every sample tended to increase, especially glucose content was increased up to 7.25 times compared to the control. Total amino acid was barely affected by the enzyme treatment and caffeine content was increased with reaction temperature. Total polyphenol and total catechin content was increased according to the amount of enzyme added and reaction temperature. Regardless of enzyme treatment conditions, composition of catechins were epigallocatechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate and epigallocatechin gallate by descending order of the content. Gallic acid content increased up to 0.04% and $45^{\circ}C$ with no further significant changes thereafter. From the results above, we could conclude that a simple and new method to extract green tea materials directly from fresh green tea leaves with improved extract ratio may be introduced by adding $0.08{\sim}0.1%$ of Rapidase TF to heat treated fresh green tea leaves and keeping temperature at $37{\sim}45^{\circ}C$ for $180{\sim}240\;min$ in order to skip existing complicated procedures.

녹차 생엽으로부터 고품질의 녹차 추출물을 얻기 위해 복합효소 Rapidase TF를 이용하여 효소처리 농도, 효소처리시간 및 효소처리 온도를 달리하여 실시한 후 $80^{\circ}C$에서 30 min 간 가열한 추출액의 이화학적 성분 특성을 조사하였다. 효소처리에 의해 유리당 함량은 모든 처리구에서 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 특히 glucose의 함량은 대조구에 비하여 최대 7.25배 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 총아미노산은 효소 처리에 의한 영향이 거의 없었으며, 카페인 함량은 효소처리 온도가 높아짐에 따라 증가하였다. 총폴리페놀 및 총카테킨 함량은 효소 첨가량이 증가하고 효소처리 온도가 높아짐에 따라 증가하였으며, 카테킨 조성은 효소처리 조건에 관계없이 EGC, EC, ECg 및 EGCg의 순으로 함유되어 있었다. Gallic acid 함량은 효소처리 농도 0.04%, 효소처리 온도 $45^{\circ}C$까지 증가하다 그 이상에서는 변화가 거의 없었다. 이상의 결과로부터 증열 처리된 녹차 생엽에 복합효소 Rapitase TF를 $0.08{\sim}0.1%$ 첨가 후 $37{\sim}45^{\circ}C$$180{\sim}240\;min$ 처리함에 의해 기존의 복잡한 가공공정을 거치지 않고 생엽에서 바로 추출이 가능하도록 함에 따라 공정이 간단하고 녹차성분 추출률이 향상된 새로운 형태의 차 추출물 제조방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.
