초록

본 연구에서는 착유시간에 따른 우유 및 환원유 내 멜라토닌 및 코티솔 농도 변화를 살펴보았고, 이를 바탕으로 긴장완화 및 수면의 질 개선 측면에서의 우유의 기능성 식품으로써의 개발 가능성을 탐색하였다. 연구 결과, 명기에 비해 일출전 암기에 착유한 우유에서 멜라토닌 농도가 유의적으로 높았다. 환원유 내 멜라토닌 농도 또한 우유와 동일한 일주기 리듬을 보였으나, 전반적으로 우유에 비해 멜라토닌 농도가 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 반해 빛 이외에도 운동, 스트레스 등과 같은 요인에 의해 영향을 받는 코티솔은 착유시간에 따른 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 하지만 개체간 변이가 크지 않다고 가정하였을 때, 동지에 비해 하지에 착유한 우유 및 환원유 내 코티솔 농도가 유의적으로 높았다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 할 때, 집유 시간을 조정하여 생산한 야간 착유 우유는 내인성 멜라토닌이 풍부한 식품이며, 수면유도에 도움을 줄 수 있는 기능성 식품으로써의 개발 가능성을 가지고 있는 것으로 사료된다. 하지만 본 연구는 착유시간에 따른 원유 및 환원유 내 멜라토닌 농도의 차이만을 보여줬다는 점에서 한계를 가진다. 그러므로 착유시간에 따른 이러한 차이가 실질적으로 우유를 섭취하였을 때, 체내의 수면유도 생리활성에 영향을 미치는지 추가적으로 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 또한, 계절에 따른 우유 내 각 호르몬의 변화를 정확히 파악하기 위하여 동일한 개체를 대상으로 한 추가 연구가 필요하다.

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in dark conditions. It plays a major role in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin synthesis is known to be suppressed by environmental light. Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is a major indicator of physiological alterations due to stressful stimuli. It also displays a circadian rhythm, like melatonin. The highest levels are encountered during early morning and the lowest levels are observed at around midnight. In the present study, the effects of milking time on the melatonin and cortisol concentrations of raw milk and milk powder at the summer and winter solstices were examined. The melatonin concentration in milk increased significantly if cows were milked in the dark at night (p<0.05). The melatonin concentration in milk powder showed the same pattern with respect to the milking time (p<0.05). However, no significant difference in the cortisol concentration was observed between day- and night-time milk. Although the time of day did not affect the level of milk cortisol, seasonal factors affected the release of cortisol in milk (p<0.05). In conclusion, night-time milk is rich in endogenous melatonin. In this respect, it has potential applications for the development of melatonin rich-dairy products, which serve as natural sources of melatonin.
