Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the drying characteristics of Caragana sinica Rehder flowers, which are basic data necessary for increasing utilization. The flowers were harvested in mid-April and dried at different hot-air temperatures (50-90℃), and the physicochemical properties of the dried flowers were analyzed. It was found that the drying rate was proportional to the air temperature. The visual color of dried flowers was relatively strong in green when dried at 50℃, while browning was relatively severe when dried at 90℃. The greenness (-a* value) of the mechanical color of the powder decreased with increasing temperature, and the yellowness (b* value) decreased with increasing temperature above 70℃. The soluble solids of the hot water extract were maintained at a certain level after increasing up to 70℃, and the pH decreased with increasing temperature. The total polyphenol contents tended to increase with increasing temperature, and DPPH radical scavenging activity did not show a significant change after increasing up to 70℃. These results suggest that the hot-air drying temperature had a significant effect on the physicochemical characteristics of the C. sinica flower. The appropriate hot-air drying temperature was judged to be less than 50℃ for maintaining the unique color, and approximately 70℃ considering the high hot-water extraction yield and antioxidant capacity.

골담초(Caragana sinica Rehder) 꽃의 고부가가치화와 활용도 증대에 필요한 기초 자료인 건조특성을 파악하기 위하여, 만개한 골담초 꽃을 4월 중순에 채취하여 각기 다른 온도(50℃, 60℃, 70℃, 80℃, 90℃)에서 열풍건조하고 분쇄하여 얻은 분말과 이의 열수 추출물의 이화학적 성질을 조사하였다. 골담초 꽃의 건조속도는 열풍온도와 비례함을 보였다. 건조 꽃의 시각적인 색상은 50℃에서 건조한 것이 꽃받침 부위의 녹색이 비교적 강하였고, 반면에 90℃에서 건조한 것은 갈변이 비교적 심하였다. 분말의 기계적 색도 중 녹색도인 -a*값은 온도가 높아질수록 증가함을 보였다. 또한, 황색도인 b*값은 70℃ 이상의 온도에서는 승온에 따라 낮아짐을 보였다. 열수 추출물의 가용성 고형분 함량은 70℃까지 증가한 후 일정 수준을 유지하였고, pH는 승온에 따라 감소함을 보였다. 열수 추출물의 총폴리페놀 함량은 승온에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, DPPH 소거능은 70℃까지 증가한 후 뚜렷한 변화를 보이지 않았다. 이로써 열풍건조 온도가 골담초 꽃의 이화학적 특성에 유의적인 영향을 미치는 것이 확인되었고, 적합한 열풍건조 온도는 고유색 유지 목적이면 50℃ 이하가, 높은 열수 추출수율과 항산화능을 고려하면 70℃인 것으로 판단되었다.
