Abstract

This paper introduces the physicochemical characteristics of garlic shoots investigated in the 8 areas of Namhae, Gohyeon-myeon (GHM), Nam-myeon (NM), Samdong-myeon (SDM), Namhae-eup (NHE), Seo-myeon (SM), Seolcheon-myeon (SCM), Idong-myeon (IDM) and Changsoen-myeon (CSM). The moisture was 80.15±0.37~83.87±0.15 g/100 g. The crude protein and lipid were 1.59±0.02~2.25±0.09 g/100 g and 0.35±0.01~0.48±0.03 g/100 g, respectively. Ash was 0.65±0.03~0.71±0.03 g/100 g. In addition, the total levels of phenol and flavonoid were searched as 33.02±1.78~58.41±1.08 mg/100 g and 11.60±3.36~23.95±2.04 mg/100 g, respectively. The garlic shoots in IDM, where the highest total chlorophyll level detected as 170.58±1.04 μg/g and in CSM, where the lowest total chlorophyll level investigated as 116.65±0.00 μg/g, were unveiled. The mineral elements (S, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, Mn and Zn) were analyzed by ICP-OES, and K was the most highly contained mineral with 7257.0±87.9~10070.0±9.7 mg/kg. Significant feature of garlic shoots in IDM and NHE was that the total amounts of mineral were relatively higher than other regions as 21,143.5 mg/kg and 20,581.2 mg/kg, respectively. The cultivating regions were revealed as the one of important matters with the level of allicin (78.03±6.15~203.43±18.47 mg/kg). In particular, the level of allicin of garlic raised in SDM (203.43±18.47 mg/kg) was approximately 2.2~2.6 times higher than those in CSM (92.86±8.70 mg/kg) and SCM (78.03±6.15 mg/kg). The sulfur compounds content of diallyl trisulde was remarkably higher, especially the garlic shoots in IDM with 830.62±14.69~1281.10±27.71 mg/kg.
