복숭아로부터 polyphenoloxidase를 추출하여 polyphenol 화합물인 caffeic acid, hydroxyhydroquinone, homocatechol 그리고 pyrogallol과 반응시켜 얻어진 4종류의 효소적 갈변반응 생성물의 생리작용을 검토한 결과 rec-assay와 돌연변이원성시험에서 돌연변이원성을 나타내지 않았다. 4종류의 시료모두 S-9Mix를 첨가한 돌연변이원성 억제활성 실험에서 B(a)p, Trp-P-1의 변이물질에 대한 Ca-PEBRP와 HCa-PEBRP가 80% 이상의 강한 돌연변이원성 억제활성을 나타내었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 rec-assay에서도 강한 대조구인 MMC와 MNNG에 대해 Py-PEBRP경우 생육저지대차를 17 mm에서 5 mm로 감소시켜 돌연변이 억제활성이 있는 것으로 나타났고, Hca-PEBRP, HHQ-PEBRP 그리고 Py-PEBRP에 $Zn^{2+}$의 첨가로 생육저지대의 차가 5 mm로써 DNA 손상에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
This research was carried out to investigate antimutagent effect of peach enzymatic browning reaction products(PEBRP) obtained by reacting each of polyphenol compounds with oxidase extracted from Korea-cultivated peach. In methods, rec-assay with B. subtilis strains $H17(rec^+);and;M45(rec^-)$, and Ames test with S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100 were used. The spore rec-assay of PEBRP, pyrogallol, hydroxyhydroquinone, homocatechol and caffeic acid were not showed mutagenicity. In the effects of various metal ions$(Al^{3+},;Cu^{2+},;Fe^{2+},;Mn^{2+},;Ni^{2+},;Pb^{2+},;Zn^{2+})$ on the rec-assay, all PEBRP except caffeic acid was increased inhibition zone(5 mm) only with $Zn^{2+}$. In paticular, the Py-PEBRP was decreased the difference of inhibition zone of growth on MMC(mitomycin C). In results of Ames test, all PEBRP were not showed mutagenicity on S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100; however, Ca-PEBRP and Hca-PEBRP were suppressed mutagenic effects on Trp-P-1 and B(a)P in the presence of S-9Mix.
