Abstract

The present study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of green tea at different harvest time. The leaves were collected in late March(Ilro), early April(Okro and Ujeon), late April(Sejak), and early May(Eoksu and Hanra). The total polyphenol content of Sejak was highest (28.87mg TAE/g). Electron donating abilities toward $\alpha$,$\alpha$-diphenyl-$\beta$-picyryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical were approximately 80%. SOD-like activities were above 30%, where ujeon showed the highest activity ($38.95{\pm}0.96%$). The nitrite scavenging ability was pH-dependent and shown to be highest at pH 1.2, and lowest at pH 6.0. The inhibitory effects against the angiotensin I converting enzyme were over 85%, except for Okro ($58.22{\pm}4.66%$) and Hanra ($77.96{\pm}3.83%$). The tyrosinase inhibition rate increased with harvest time. Okro showed the highest caffeine content ($3.86{\pm}0.32%$) and had the highest antimicrobial activities against Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhimurium. The combined results of this work revealed that the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of green tea were independent of harvest time.

채취시기가 다른 6종의 녹차를 시료로 택하여 실제 음용 조건으로 추출하여 일반 성분, 카페인 및 총 페놀 함량을 분석하였고, 전자공여능에 의한 항산화 활성, ACE 저해도, SOD 유사 활성, Tyrosinase 저해율, 아질산염 소거능 및 항균 활성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 일반 성분과 카페인의 경우 채취시기가 빠른 것일수록 총질소 및 카페인 함량이 높게 나타났다. 반면, 총페놀, 전자공여능, ACE 저해율, SOD 유사활성은 아질산염 소거능의 경우 채취시기에 따라서 크게 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, Tyrosinase 저해율의 경우 채취시기가 늦어질수록 약간 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 항균 활성의 경우 일로를 제외한 5종의 시료의 경우 항균성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.
