Abstract
본 연구는 고흥산과 수입산 석류의 화학적 성분분석 및 생리활성 기능을 분석하여 기능성 물질의 소재 개발과 착즙 후 버려지는 부산물 활용 방안에 기여하고자 하였다. 석류 과즙 중 주요 유기산은 citric acid, malic acid가 확인되었으며 주요 유리당으로는 fructose, glucose가 확인되었다. 석류의 폴리페놀 함량은 고흥산 과피에서 149.91 mg/g으로 가장 높았고 가장 낮은 함량을 보인 과즙보다는 약 100배 정도 높게 함유되어 있었다. 석류의 부위별 ellagic acid 함량을 분석한 결과 고흥산 과피에서 14.22 mg/g으로 미국산에 비해 두 배 이상 높게 나타났으며, 고흥산과 미국산 모두 과즙이나 씨 보다는 과피에서 ellagic acid 함량이 월등히 높게 나타났다. 석류 부위별 추출물은 농도 의존적으로 항산화 활성이 증가하였으며, 고흥산과 미국산 모두 과피, 씨, 과즙 순으로 높은 활성도를 나타냈다. 고흥산과 미국산 부위별 추출물의 전립선암 세포증식 억제능을 분석한 결과 산지에 관계없이 과피, 과즙, 씨 순으로 암세포 성장억제능이 높게 나타났으며 특히 과즙과 씨에서는 고흥산이 미국산에 비해서 암세포 성장억제능이 더 우수하였으며 과피 추출물에서는 미국산이 더 우수하였다. In recent years, polyphenol-rich herbs, fruits and processed foods, which are made of plant origin, have attracted much attention due to their potential health benefits. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an important source of bioactive compounds and has been used to treat diseases because of its medicinal properties. This research was focused on characterizing Korea's national cultivar and a similar product from California, USA. To evaluate their bioactive compounds and pharmacological activities, their anti-oxidation and cancer inhibition properties, as well as their organic acid and free sugar contents, were investigated. The national cultivar had low total sugar and high organic acid contents, contrary to the imported product. The results showed that the peel of national cultivar had high polyphenol and ellagic acid contents compared to imported product. The free radical scavenging capacity was evaluated via 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and its positive correlation with the total polyphenol contents was found. The anti-cancer activity of methanol extracts revealed growth inhibition against the prostate cancer cell. These results signify that while pomegranate, national cultivar, is more sour than the imported product, its health benefits could be excellent. Also, the polyphenol compound content of the non-edible part (such as the peel and the seed) was higher than that of the juice. Thus, it is suggested that the byproduct of the juice extraction could be potentially used in other fields such as medicine or dietary agents.
