Abstract

The biological compounds such as vitamin C, carotenoids, hesperidin and naringin were determined in Yuza grown in Geoje, Goseong, Gohung and Namhae. Also, activities of electron donating, nitrite scavenging and tyrosinase were detected by concentration of water extracts made from Yuza peel. Vitamin C contents of flesh sample were 6.34±0.12~10.74±1.25 mg/100 g and its contents of peel were 2.17~3.57 times higher than flesh. The carotenoid contents of peel were higher than flesh, and its contents were abundant (over 6.0 mg/100 g) in peel of Yuza grown in Goseong and Namhae-native, while Goheung-native and improved samples were detected below 3.6 mg/100 g. The contents of total phenols were the highest in flesh (11.11±0.10 mg/100 g) and peel (31.76 mg/100 g) of Namhae-improve Yuza. The contents of hesperidin and naringin were about 4.81~7.80, 3.07~4.62 times higher in peel than flesh. Electron donating ability of water extracts made from Yuza peel was 52.78±1.13~66.88±0.53%, in over 5 mg/mL; especially, its ability in Namhae sample was significantly high in reaction system added over 5 mg/mL of water extracts. Nitrite scavenging ability in all samples was below 30% in reaction system added 1 mg/mL of water extracts. Inhibition activity of tyrosinase in reaction system added 2.5 mg/mL of water extracts was only observed in Namhae samples, but the other samples were increased in reaction system added over 5 mg/mL of water extracts.
