Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the chemical composition and biological function of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves. The antioxidant activities of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves were determined by measuring their electron-donating ability based on their DPPH and nitrite-scavenging ability. The electron-donating abilities of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves (500 and 1,000 ppm) as determined by DPPH assay were 45.6 and 85.1%, respectively. The nitrite scavenging ability of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves (500 and 1,000 ppm) at pH 6.0 were 32.8 and 51.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the nitrite scavenging activity increased in a dose-dependent manner at all pH values. The effects of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves on Male Sprague-Dawley rats were also evaluated. To accomplish this, the rats were divided into three groups (A: normal diet group, B: high fat diet group and C: high fat diet supplemented with tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves group). The anti-obesity effects of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves were then evaluated. The serum total lipid, total cholesterol and triglyceride contents in C group were lower than those of B group; however, these differences were not statistically significant. The HDL-cholesterol content was significantly higher in the C group than in the other groups. Taken together the results of this study suggest that tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves possesses antioxidant activity and improves lipid metabolism.

본 연구에서는 장뇌삼 엽차의 활용 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 장뇌삼 잎의 성분분석 및 장뇌삼 엽차의 항산화효과를 비교하였으며, 고지방식이를 공급한 흰쥐에게 장뇌산삼 엽차를 7주간 공급한 후 혈청의 지방대사에 미치는 영향을 검토하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 장뇌삼 잎의 수분은 19.14%, 조회분은 6.64%, 조지방은 0.82%, 조단백질은 11.03%, 조섬유는 11.47%, 탄수화물은 62.37%를 나타내었고, 무기질 중에서는 칼륨이 2,111.38mg/100 g으로 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 장뇌삼 잎에서는 카페인이 검출되지 않았으며, 1,170.48 mg/100 g의 탄닌이 함유되어 있으며, 조렉틴 함량은 5,540 mg/100 g으로 분석되었다. 전자공여능으로 측정한 항산화활성은 장뇌삼 엽차 추출물의 농도에 비례하여 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 특히 장뇌삼 엽차를 500 ppm로 처리 하였을 때에는 45% 이상의 높은 전자공여능을 나타내었다. 아질산염 소거능으로 측정한 항산화활성은 pH 3.0 보다 pH 6.0에서 높게 나타났으며, pH 6.0에서 250, 500, 1,000 ppm 농도로 처리했을 때 각각 23.47, 32.84, 51.41%를 나타내었다. 고지방식이를 7주간 급여하며 장뇌삼 엽차를 병행 투여하였을 때 식이섭취량은 고지방식이 급여 대조군과 장뇌삼 엽차를 병행 투여한 실험군 모두가 정상군에 비해 감소하였으며, 고지방식이 급여 대조군에 비해 장뇌삼 엽차 급여군은 약 6.4% 감소하였다. 체중 100 g당 간의 무게는 $3.11{\pm}0.29\;g$인 정상군에 비해 $4.82{\pm}0.08\;g$인 고지방 급여 대조군에서 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 장뇌삼 엽차 병행급여군도 고지방식이 급여 대조군과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 혈액 중 총 지방함량은 정상군에 비해 고지방식이 급여 대조군에서 66.2% 증가하였으며 장뇌삼 엽차 급여 시 고지방식이 급여 대조군에 비해 8.0% 감소를 나타내었으나 유의적이지는 않았다. 혈액 중 총콜레스테롤 함량은 정상군에 비해 고지방식이 급여 대조군에서 66.6% 증가하였으며, 장뇌삼 엽차 공급 시고지방식이 급여 대조군에 비해 감소하는 경향이었다. 혈액 중 중성지질 함량은 정상군에 비해 고지방식이 급여 대조군에서 172.5% 증가를 나타내었고, 장뇌삼 엽차 공급군은 고지방식이 급여 대조군에 비해 7.3% 감소하였다. 혈액 중 HDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 정상군에 비해 고지방식이 급여로 36.4%의 유의한 감소를 나타내었으며, 장뇌삼 엽차를 병행급여하였을 경우 정상군과 유사한 수준이었다. 이상의 결과에서 장뇌삼엽차의 항산화활성 및 지질대사 개선효과 등을 통해 장뇌삼엽차의 개발 및 산업화에 대한 기초자료를 얻었으며 추가 실험을 통한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
