  • This study was performed to quantitatively analyze free amino acids in the bean sprouts of three different merchants by the parts and the cooking methods in order to evaluate the nutritional and sensory values of bean sprouts. Three merchant bean sprouts were analyzed from total, cotyledon and hypocotyls. Aspartic acid was the most common acid isolated from bean sprouts from all three merchants and was found more in the hypocotyls than the cotyledon. On the other hand, arginine, the second most common amino acid, was found more in the cotyledon than the hypocotyls while valine, the third or fourth most common amino acid in total bean sprout, occurred in a greater amount in hypocotyls than in cotyledons. After cooking, was the most concentrated amino acid in the liquid portion of both boiled bean sprouts and bean sprout soup was glutamic acid. Total bean sprouts from merchant C showed significantly higher contents of the most abundant amino acids, such as aspartic acid, arginine, alanine, serine, glutamic acid, isoleucine, leucine and tyrosine (p<0.05). After cooking, bean sprouts from merchant B showed less of a decrease in amino acid content in the solid parts than the products from merchants A and C. In conclusion, aspartic acid was the major amino acid in bean sprouts, regardless of the source, but after cooking, glutamic acid became the most abundant amino acid in the liquid part. Additionally, the pattern of release of the amino acids from the solid beans to the liquid portion during cooking was different with each merchant.

  • Bean sprouts are often cultivated in the circumstances prevailing in the improper using of germicide and growth enhancer. The influence of ingestion those bean sprouts are unknown. The components of the bean sprouts are needed to evaluate for food safety. The extracts of the control, 0.5 g/L germicide, 1 g/L germicide, 12.5 mL/L growth enhancer and 25 mL/L growth enhancer were used to compare the components in the experiment. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) was used to analyze the extracts. Statistical analysis of metabolomics showed significant changes between the control and head and the stem of the bean sprouts. Significant changes in metabolites were identified with the bean sprouts cultivated with germicide and growth enhancer by applying qualitative and quantitative analysis. Similar changes in the area of the bean sprouts were observed after treated to germicide and growth enhancer. Although treating germicide and growth enhancer showed no particular harmful metabolites changes to human, it made significant changes in the morphological and the metabolites of the bean sprouts. These changes indicate that the germicide and growth enhancer has substantially potential to influence the growth of the bean sprouts.

  • Soybean and mungbean sprouts are vegetables indigenous to Korea which have been grown throughout the year from the most remote age. They had been called interchangeably as duchaeah or duah. Control method of environmental conditions for soybean or mungbean sprouts growing had been already appreciated from long time ago. A growing method once developed might have been handed over considerable period. Siroo (시루) and yongsoo (용수) had been the most common containers and the watering skill is of the utmost importance for soybean sprouts growing. As the demand of soybean sprouts in the market increased, a pit has been used for bean sprouts growing, and transformed into regular soybean sprouts factory. Now bean sprouts are international food and the demand of bean sprouts seems permanent in Korea. Accordingly the long-term policy concerned with the production of soybean sprouts should be prepared, placing emphasis on improved quality and safety.

  • The present study was conducted to determine a high-fiber variety of sprout bean and bean sprout. Sixty-six varieties of Korean sprout beans and thirty varieties of Korean bean sprouts were analyzed for their total dietary fiber (TDF) using a combination of enzymatic and gravimetric methods adopted by AOAC. The average and range of the TDF contents of the 66 varieties of sprout beans were 21.73$\pm$2.43% and 16.60~29.2% (dry basis), respectively. The top five types of sprout beans with high TDF anions the 66 samples were KLG10658 (29.2%), Dawonkong (28.46%), Sohokong (25.66%), Moohankong (25.465%) and Samnamkong (24.94%). The mean TDF content of sprout beans was relatively high in the variety with yellow seed coat color and a smaller seed size (<15 g/100 seeds) than the ones with other colors and of medium or large seed size. The average and range of the TDF content of the 30 varieties of bean sprouts were 24.48$\pm$3.9% and 18.3~33.38%, respectively. Dawonkong sprouts showed the highest TDF content (33.38%). The average TDF content of bean sprouts was 1.16 times higher than that of the corresponding seed beans. The TDF content of bean sprouts did not significantly change during the days of culture. The TDF content in the different parts of the bean sprout were high in the order of roots, hypocotyl and cotyledon.

  • This study was performed to investigate the content of residual pesticides in bean sprouts which are the very important vegetables to supply protein for traditional korean dishes. Experimental subjects included 541 cases of bean sprouts and 168 cases of germinating beans collected in the Seoul area from January in 1987 to February in 1938. In residual pesticides of subjects, topsin-M, vitavax and thiram were determined by high pressure liquid chromatography and captan was determined by gas chromatography. The detection rates of residual pesticides in the subjects were 19.4% in bean sprouts and 26.2% in germinating beans. The most common used pesticides in bean sprouts was topsin-M and detection rate was 16.2%. Captan and vitavax were also detected in about 3.5%, 2.8% of the experimental subjects respectively. But thiram was not detected in any samples. The mean value of topsin-M content was $21.32{\pm}4.82ppm$ and $1.68{\pm}0.14ppm$ in bean sprouts. The mean value of captan were $7.70{\pm}2.13ppm$ and $0.42{\pm}0.02ppm$ in germinating beans and bean sprouts, respectively.
