Abstract

Consumers are more aware of their health and more conscious of environmental conditions nowadays. As such, there is an increasing demand for agri-foods obtained from organic agricultural practices. The present study aims to compare quality characteristics and antioxidant activities between organically and conventionally grown perilla leaf, leaf lettuce, broccoli, and cabbage. The conventionally grown leafy and stem vegetables showed significantly (p<0.05) higher weights and lengths. There was no significant difference in moisture contents of organically and conventionally grown vegetables. The L (lightness), a (redness), and b (yellowness) values of organically and conventionally grown perilla leaf, leaf lettuce, broccoli, and cabbage showed significant differences (p<0.05). Conventionally grown perilla leaf, leaf lettuce, and broccoli showed significantly (p<0.05) higher DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities. Overall, the quality characteristics of conventionally grown leafy and stem vegetables were higher than those of organically grown ones. On the other hand, antioxidant activities of organically grown leafy and stem vegetables were higher than those of conventionally grown ones. Further studies are recommended to evaluate other differences such as flavor, organic acid, polyphenol, vitamin, mineral, and bioactivity compounds between organically and conventionally grown vegetables.

유기 및 관행재배에 따른 엽경채류의 이화학적 품질 및 항산화 활성을 비교하고자 깻잎, 상추, 브로콜리 및 양배추 등을 이용하여 무게, 길이, 수분, 표면색, DPPH 및 ABTS radical 소거능을 분석하였다. 무게, 길이의 경우, 전반적으로 관행재배한 엽경채류의 값이 높았으며, 수분함량의 경우 유기 및 관행재배 간 비슷한 값을 나타내었고, 재배조건에 따른 유의적 차이는 없었다. 표면색에 있어서 깻잎과 상추의 a 값을 제외한 모든 시료에서 유기 및 관행재배 간 L, a, b 값의 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 항산화 활성의 경우, 전반적으로 유기재배한 시료의 DPPH 및 ABTS radical 소거능이 관행재배한 시료보다 우수하였으며, 양배추의 경우 두 가지 항산화 활성에서 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 무게, 길이 등의 외적 품질에 대해서 관행재배한 엽경채류의 값이 높았고, 항산화 활성에 대해서는 유기재배한 엽경채류의 값이 높았으나, 유기 및 관행재배에 따른 내외적 품질비교를 위해서 더 많은 분석이 추가로 진행되어야 할 필요가 있다고 사료된다.
