Abstract

The proximate compositions of Opuntia ficus indica fruits from Shinan were moisture 71.18%, crude protein 1.69%, crude ash 0.93%, crude fat 0.55%, crude fiber 1.54% and 24.11% nitrogen free extracts. And the proxmate compositions of Opuntia ficus indica stem were moisture 74.85%, crude protein 3.48%, crude ash 0.54%, crude fat 0.48%, crude fiber 2.58% and 18.07% nitrogen free extracts. The crude protein and crude fiber content of Opuntia ficus indica stem from Shinan were higher than those of fruit. The contents of fructose, sucrose and glucose were higher than maltose. As the result of organic acid, the content of citric acid was higher than malic acid and tartaric acid. As a result of mineral analysis, the contents of potassium was the highest among the minerals in Opuntia ficus indica from Shinan. Analysis of total amino acids in Opuntia ficus indica from Shinan. The contents of total amino acid of fruit and stem were 1,604.64 mg% and 3,245.98 mg% and the free amino acid contents of fruit and stem were 556.02 mg% and 1,101.35 mg%, respectively. The major components of total amino acids were glutamic acid, proline and threonine. The levels of total amino acids and free amino acids in Opuntia ficus indica stem were higher than those in its fruit.

신안산 손바닥선인장의 수분함량은 열매 71.18%, 줄기 74.85%로 나타났고, 조단백질 함량은 줄기가 3.48%로 높았으며, 조섬유 또한 줄기가 2.58%로 열매 1.54%보다 높은 함량을 보였고, 조회분, 조지방은 열매와 줄기 모두 비슷한 함량을 보였다. 신안산 손바닥선인장의 유리당은 fructose, glucose, sucrose으로 구성되어 있었으며 maltose는 소량 검출되었고, 유기산은 tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid가 검출되었고 citric acid의 함량이 가장 높게 나타났다. 부위별 함량은 유리당, 유리산 모두 열매가 줄기보다 높게 나타났다. 신안산 손바닥선인장의 무기성분은 K의 함량이 178.61~254.71 mg%로 가장 높았고 열매가 줄기보다 높게 나타났다. 아미노산 함량은 구성아미노산 및 유리아미노산 모두 Glutamic acid의 함량이 357.10~654.82 mg%와 218.25-263.32 mg%로 가장 높았으며 열매보다 줄기에서 높은 함량을 나타내었다.
