Abstract

Moringa (Moringa oleifera), which is native to tropical and subtropical climates, now grows in Korea due to its warming climate. Since it is also imported and used for food and other products in various countries, it is necessary to analyze the properties of moringa being imported into Korea. In this study, the antioxidant activity and total phenol and flavonoid content were high in the leaves and twigs and showed a positive correlation. The mineral content was also high in the leaves and twigs, and potassium ions were the most abundant mineral. In addition, seven phenolic acids (caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, cinnamic acid, coumaric acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, and syringic acid) and four flavonoids (kaempferol, myricetin, quercetin, and rutin) were detected in the leaves, twigs, and stems, and the ferulic acid and quercetin content was particularly high. The results of this study can be used as comparative data for domestic moringa growers in the future.

열대 및 아열대 기후에서 자생하는 모링가가 기후변화로 인하여 국내에서도 재배가 되고 있으면서 관심이 증가하고 있다. 다양한 나라에서 식품 및 기능성제품으로 사용이 되면서 국내로 수입되는 모링가에 대한 분석이 필요하여 본 연구를 실시하게 되었다. 모링가의 부위별(잎, 가지 및 종자) 항산화 능력과 페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량은 잎과 가지에서 높았으며, 정의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 무기물 함량 역시 잎과 가지에서 풍부하였으며 특히 칼륨 이온이 가장 많았다. 또한 7종의 페놀산과 4종의 플라보노이드 성분이 검출이 되었으며 페놀산에서는 페룰릭산이, 플라보노이드에서는 쿼세틴 함량이 높게 나타났다. 이 연구결과는 향후 국내 모링가 재배농가의 비교자료로 유용하게 이용될 것으로 기대된다.
