음나무 잎 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 및 총 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 75.9±6.1 mg/g, 59.0±6.7 mg/g으로 나타났으며, FRAP 값은 0.3±0.0 mmol Fe2/g이고, 그리고 DPPH에 대한 높은 항산화 활성이 존재하였다. 또한 음나무 잎을 첨가하여 돈피 튀김을 제조한 다음 품질특성을 살펴본 결과, 대조구에 비해 음나무 잎 첨가량이 증가할수록 돈피 튀김의 경도 및 TBARS값이 감소되었고, 콜라겐의 함량은 대조구에 비해 시료 첨가구에서 유의적인 높은 값을 보였다.
Antioxidant activities of ethanol extracts from Kalopanax pictus leaves (KPL) were investigated in vitro. Total polyphenols, flavonoids and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) values of KPL extracts were 75.9±6.1, 59.0±6.7 mg/g, and 0.3±0.0 mmol Fe2/g, respectively. KPL extracts showed robust DPPH radical scavenging activity. In addition, the quality characteristics of fried pork skin treated with KPL extracts were also evaluated. Fried pork skin was produced containing KPL extracts at 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0%, respectively. The hardness and TBARS values regarding fried pork skin treated with KPL were reduced by the addition of KPL extracts, whereas collagen content was increased compared to the control. These results suggest the possibility of manufacturing fried fork skin with KPL extracts for the improvement of quality.
