Volatile Flavor Components in Soybean Sprouts

The identification of volatile constituents in foods is important in creating flavor compounds to improve the flavor of foods. This study was conducted to identify the flavor compounds in soybean sprouts cultivated with 4 different types of soybean seeds. A total of 52 flavor compounds were identified and composed mainly of alcohols (16), aldehydes (17), ketones (10), acids (2), furans (2), and miscellaneous compounds (5). Sprouts cultivated with Dawonkong and Orialtae showed 46 flavor compounds whereas Pungsannamulkong and Nokchaekong was 49 and 50. In total flavor compounds contents, Orialtae was the highest (19.3 mg/kg RC) and followed by Pungsannamulkong (15.83 mg/kg RC), Dawonkong (13.2 mg/kg RC), and Nokchaekong (11.3 mg/kg RC) in that order. Two groups including alcohols and aldehydes were detected high amounts in which their ratio were analyzed 32% and 51% in total flavor contents, respectively. It may be responsible for flavor in soybean sprouts. In case each flavor compound content, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde was detected the major compound and hexanol, 1-octen-3-ol, and hexanal that the main compounds in lipid oxidation of soybean products were identified the main volatile flavor compounds in soybean sprouts.

콩나물의 향기 성분 분석

특성이 다른 나물콩 4종을 재료로 콩나물을 재배한 후 SDE 법으로 콩나물의 향기 성분을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. 총 52개의 향기 성분이 분석되었으며, 품종별로 $46{\sim}50$ 개의 성분을 확인하였다. 2. 향기성분은 알콜류 16종, 알데하이드류 17종, 케톤류 10종, furan 류 2종, acid류 2종 및 기타 5종이 분석되었으며, 오리알태는 알데하이드류, 다원콩은 알콜류의 성분 수가 타 품종보다 적게 나타났다. 3. 품종별 향기성분의 상대적 함량은 오리알태가 가장 높았으나 동정된 성분의 갯수는 풍산나물콩과 녹채콩이 많았다. 4. 다원콩은 알콜류와 알데하이드류가 비슷한 함량 조성을 보였으나 기타 품종들은 알데하이드류가 알콜류보다 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 5. 4 품종 모두 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, hexanol, 1-octen-3-ol 등이 상대적으로 함량이 높았다.
