Abstract

To produce mulberry-leaf tea abundant in ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA), mulberry leaves were subjected to two distinct anaerobic conditions ($N_2$ and vacuum) for 12 h before the manufacturing process. Subsequently, changes in the GABA content as well as that of other components were measured. In anaerobically treated mulberry leaves, GABA content markedly increased by 436-472% compared with the control, while the glutamic acid content decreased. However, few changes were observed in the contents of the general components (moisture, carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and ash) and water-soluble solids. Free sugar, catechin, and total phenol content decreased after anaerobic treatment. However, the sensory test scores were not different between the control and anaerobically-treated samples. Consequently, tea products, manufactured post nitrogen gas or vacuum treatment of leaves after harvest, showed functional properties without sensory loss.

다량의 ${\gamma}$-aminobutric acid (GABA)를 함유한 뽕잎차를 제조하기 위해 뽕잎을 채취하여 진공 및 질소가스 치환의 방법으로 12시간 무산소 처리를 하였다. 이후 차를 제조하고 GABA 및 그밖의 주요 성분의 함량 변화를 측정한 결과 뽕잎에 질소 가스 치환처리 및 진공처리를 한 실험군 모두 GABA의 함량이 현저하게 증가하였고(436-472%) 글루탐산은 감소하였다. 일반성분 및 수용성고형물은 거의 변화가 없었으며, 유리당, 카테킨 및 총페놀 함량이 다소 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 뽕잎을 무산소 처리하는 두가지의 방법 즉 질소 가스 치환처리와 진공처리를 비교했을 때 GABA와 주요성분의 함량은 거의 차이가 없었다. 관능평가에서 무처리군과 질소가스, 진공처리군 간에 차이가 없어 무산소 처리를 해도 기호성이 저하되지 않았다. 채잎후 무산소 가공 처리를 하고 뽕잎차를 제조하는 것은 관능적인 품질을 유지하면서도 뽕잎차의 기능을 향상시킬 수 있는 효과적인 방법이라 판단된다.
