Omija, the major material of omigalsu, has liver protective and antioxidant effects, while mung bean has detoxification effects. A series of studies were conducted to standardize the traditional recipe for omigalsu to develop traditional functional drinks made from Omija extract and mung bean juice. Study 1 was designed to determine the optimal conditions for Omija extraction and mung bean juice. A higher water temperature and longer immersion time was associated with higher, free sugar and organic acid contents of omija extract; however, sensory evaluation revealed that the optimal extraction conditions for the highest acceptability, proper taste and red tone were $23^{\circ}C$ and 18 hrs of immersion. Conversely, the pH of the mung bean juice produced by varying the immersion time (5 hr, 11 hr, 17 hr) was found to be neutral, containing small levels of organic acid and free sugar, and showing a yellow tone. The results of the sensory evaluation also showed that the optimal conditions for taste, flavor and yellowness of mung bean juice was 5-hour-long immersion. Study 2 was designed to determine the optimum mixing ratio of omigalsu concentrate. Sensory evaluation revealed that the contents of sugar and total free sugar were highest when the mixing ratio among omija extract, mung bean juice and sugar was 1:1:20%, indicating that these conditions produced the most attractive color and highest overall acceptability. Study 3 was designed to determine the optimum dilution magnification for omigalsu. Sensory evaluation during summer revealed that the omigalsu produced by mixing 54 g of omigalsu concentrate into 200 cc water of $4^{\circ}C$ or $80^{\circ}C$ was most preferred, while during winter. Overall, the optimum dilution magnification for omigalsu was 4.7~5.4.

본 연구에서는 최근 건강 관리를 위해 다양하게 상용되고 있는 당침액의 오 남용을 막기 위해 과학적으로 물 추출물과 당침액의 특성을 규명하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 일반 물 추출물과 비교하였을 때 당침액의 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량이 크게 감소하는 것을 확인하였으며, 그에 따라 항산화 활성 또한 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 물 추출물과 비교하여 당침액의 건조 분말에는 설탕 또는 그 분해물들이 많은 부분을 차지하기 때문이라 판단된다. 그러나 혈당강하 효능의 target 효소로 연구되고 있는 ${\alpha}$-amylase 및 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase의 활성을 측정한 결과, 청고추, 쇠비름, 표고버섯의 물 추출물과 당침액은 ${\alpha}$-amylase 억제 활성을 나타내지 않았지만, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 억제 활성은 의약품인 acarbose에는 미치지 못하였으나, 물 추출물에 비해 당침액이 농도 의존적으로 높은 억제 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 세포 독성을 HepG2 cell에서 확인한 결과, 물 추출물과 비교하여 당침액의 독성이 약 1/10 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과는 민간에서의 믿음처럼 당침액이 물 추출물과 비교하였을 때 모든 부분에서 우수한 기능을 가진다고 할 수 없으며, 활용할 용도에 따라 소재를 물 추출하거나 당침액을 제조하는 등의 가공 과정을 거치는 것이 목표한 기능을 효과적으로 확보하는 방법임을 의미한다. 따라서 민간에서 맹목적으로 믿는 당침액의 효능에 대한 과학적인 연구 접근법은 당침액의 적절한 사용 목적과 방법을 설정하는 기초 자료로 활용이 가능할 것이다.

This study examined the physico-chemical properties of omija extracts that were manufactured using various water temperatures($0^{\circ}C$, $23^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$) and immersion times(12 hrs, 18 hrs, 24 hrs). The results were as follows: The pH levels of the extracts ranged from 2.86 to 2.95: however, there were no significant differences between the samples according to the various water temperatures and immersion times. The total organic acid contents of the samples ranged from 1.87 to 2.57%, and included citric acid, malic acid, and succinic acid at levels of $1.11{\sim}1.54%$, 0.49{\sim}0.66%$, and $0.25{\sim}0.38%$, respectively. As the immersion time and water temp. is erature increased the level of total organic acid significantly increased(p<0.01). The sugar contents of samples ranged from 3.01 to 3.90% brix, and did not show significant differences according to the immersion times at the different water temperatures(0, 23, $70^{\circ}C$). The Omija extract that was immersed in water for 24 hrs. at $70^{\circ}C$ had a significantly higher(p<0.05) sugar content than the other samples. The total free sugar contents of samples ranged from 0.714 to 0.833%, and included glucose, fructose, and sucrose at levels of $0.37{\sim}0.42%$, 0.34{\sim}0.41%$, and $0.003{\sim}0.004%$, respectively. The Omija extract that was immersed in water for 18 hrs. at $70^{\circ}C$ water had a significantly higher(p<0.05) total free sugar content than the other samples. The lightness, redness, and yellowness values of the samples were in ranges of $49.09{\sim}58.25$, 62.37{\sim}67.34$, and $19.76{\sim}24.57$, respectively; therefore, red was the predominant color of the extracts. Overall, as the immersion time and water temperatures increased is, lightness significantly decreased and redness significantly increased(p<0.001).
