왜문어 Octopus vulgaris의 천일건조 및 건조 후 3개월간 저장 중의 핵산관련물질의 변화를 이온교환수지 column chromatography 법으로 실험하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 살아있는 왜문어에서 절단한 생시료(다리) 중에는 inosine이 $9.4;{mu}mole/g{cdot}dry;wt.$로서 가장 함량이 많았고, 어류와는 달리 IMP는 존재하지 않았다. 건조중 ATP, ADT 및 inosine은 감소하고, AMP 및 hypoxanthine은 증가하였다. 특히 inosine은 생시료때 $9.4;{mu}mole/g;dry;wt.$이던것이 $3.0;{mu}mole/g;dry;wt.$로 감소하는 반면, hypoxanthine은 $5.1;{mu}mole/g;dry;wt.$에서 $17.6;{mu}mole/g;dry;wt.$로 증가하였다. 건조후 3개월간 저장 중에는 ADP, AMP 및 inosine은 감소하고 hypoxanthine은 약 2배로 증가하였다.
Octopus Octopus vulgaris was dried with open air at $17{sim}20^{circ}C$ for 90 hours. Nucleotides and related substances were collected by extraction with cold perchloric acid, and their amounts were determined by ion exchange column chromatography. The contents of inosine, hypoxanthine and ADP in raw sample were 9.4, 5.1 and 4.1 ${mu}mole/g{cdot}dry;wt.$ respectively. ATP and AMP were very low in content. But IMP was not detected in Octopus muscle. ATP, ADP and inosine tended to degrade rapidly during sun drying while AMP and hypoxanthine were increased. Especially, hypoxanthine were increased about three times during sun drying and also it was increased about two times during three months storage after sun drying.
