Abstract

Turmeric oleoresin, extracted from the rhizome of Curcuma longa L., is a widely-used natural food colorant. Curcuminoids, the major pigments in turmeric, which include curcumin, demethoxycurcumin (DMC), and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BMC), possess various physiological activities. In the present study, changes in the chemical properties, antioxidant activities, and cytotoxicity of turmeric pigments upon heating were investigated. Color intensity of turmeric was significantly reduced after heating. Residual levels of curcumin, DMC, and BMC after 15 min of heating at $95^{\circ}C$ were 11.9, 37.4, and 77.3% respectively. Scavenging activities of turmeric against 2,2'-azobis-3-ethyl-benz-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), 2,2-azobis (2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH) peroxyl radicals, and nitrite were significantly enhanced after heating, while 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity remained unaffected. Generation of $H_2O_2$ from turmeric was increased via thermal decomposition. Cytotoxicity of turmeric pigments against colon cancer and normal intestinal cells was reduced significantly after heating. The results indicate that thermal processing affects chemical properties and bioactivities of turmeric pigments. These effects should be considered during the processing of foods containing turmeric pigments.

본 연구에서는 식품의 가공이나 조리 시 빈번히 적용되는 가열처리에 의한 심황색소의 화학안정성, 산화방지활성 및 세포독성의 변화를 조사하였다. $95^{\circ}C$에서 각 시간별로 가열처리한 심황색소는 가열시간이 증가할수록 발색도가 감소하였으며, 형광도는 초기 가열 시에 증가하다 감소하는 양상을 보였다. HPLC 분석 결과 3종의 쿠쿠미노이드 중 쿠쿠민이 가열처리에 가장 민감하였으며 BMC가 가장 안정하였다. 가열 처리 후의 심황색소에 의해 ABTS 라디칼, AAPH peroxyl 라디칼 및 아질산염 소거활성이 증가하였으나, DPPH 라디칼 소거활성에는 변화가 없었다. 가열처리 시간의 증가에 따라 심황색소로 부터의 $H_2O_2$ 생성능이 증가한 반면, 정상장관계 세포 INT 407 및 대장암 세포 HCT 116를 대상으로 한 세포독성평가에서는 가열처리 후 심황색소의 활성이 유의적으로 약화되었다. 본 연구결과는 다양한 가공식품에 첨가되는 심황색소의 화학안정성 및 생리활성이 가열처리에 의해 크게 영향을 받으며, 생리활성 증진을 목적으로 첨가되는 심황색소에 이러한 가열처리 효과가 고려되어야 함을 시사한다.
