홍화의 식품재로로서 이용성을 높이고자 홍화의 부위별 성분분석 및 DPPH radical소거 활성을 조사하였다. 단백질은 어린싹 부위에 28.39%, 지방은 씨부위에 20.47%로 많이 함유되어 있었다. Glucose는 어린싹에 1253.6 mg%, fructose는 어린싹에 970.7 mg%, sucrose는 꽃봉오리 부위에 912.0 mg%로 많이 함유되어 있었다. Succinic acid는 꽃잎부위에 2795.3 mg%, malic acid는 잎과 어린싹 부위에 각각 2054.8 mg%와 934.2 mg%로 많이 함유하고 있었다. 무기질로는 K이 잎과 어린싹 부위에 각각 2826.8 mg%와 1999.8 mg%, Ca 또한 잎과 어린싹 부위에 각각 2613.6 mg%와 1160.9 mg%로 많이 함유하고 있었다. Llinoleic acid는 어린싹과 씨부위에 각각 80.01%와 78.27%로 가장 많이 함유하고 있었다. 총페놀함량은 꽃잎, 어린싹, 잎 부위에 각각 5.8%, 4.4% 및 2.5%, 총플라보노이드 함량은 꽃잎, 어린싹, 잎 부위에 각각 4.7%, 6.5%및 2.0%로 많이 함유하고 있었다. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT)화합물인 serotonin-I 은 홍화씨 부위에 147.7 mg%, serotonin-II또한 홍화씨 부위에 155.4mg%를 함유하고 있었고, flavonoid화합물인 acacetin도 홍화씨 부위에 116.5 mg%를 함유하고 있었다. 또한, luteolin은 어린싹 부위에 388.3 mg%, luteolin 7-g1ucoside는 잎 부위에 692.3 mg%로 많이 함유하고 있었다. DPPH radical 소거활성은 꽃잎과 잎의 80% 에탄올 추출물이 114.2%와 113.6%의 높은 활성을 나타내어 기존의 합성항산화제인 BHA 100ppm 농도의 88.05%의 활성보다 높은 항산화 활성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.
Chemical compositions and DPPH radical scavenger activity in different sections of safflower (Carthamus tinctorious L.) were investigated. Protein contained 28.39% in sprout and fat contained 20.47% in seed, respectively. Linoleic acid as predominant unsaturated fatty acid of safflower contained 80.01% in sprout and 78.27% in seed. Glucose contained 1253.6mg% in sprout and fructose contained 970.7mg% in sprout. Sucrose contained 912.0mg% in flower bud. Succinic acid was included 2795.3 mg% in flower, malic acid was included 2054.8mg% in leaf. K as minerals contained 2826.8mg% in leaf and 2613,6 mg% in sprout, Ca contained 1999.8mg% in leaf and 1160.9mg% in sprout. Total phenolics contained 5.8%, 4.7%, 4.4% in flower, sprout and leaf, and total flavonoid contained 6.5%, 2.5%, 2.0% in flower, sprout and leaf, respectively Serotonin-I (Ν- [2- (5-hydroxy - l Η- indol -3- yl)ethyl] ferulamide) as serotonin compounds was determined 147.7mg% in seed, serotonin - II (Ν-［2-(5-hydroxy-lΗ-indo-1-3yl )ethyl]-p-coumaramide) was determined 155.4 mg% in seed. Acacetin as flavonoid compounds was contained 116.5mg% in seed. Luteolin as flavonoid compounds was identified 388.3mg% in sprout, luteolin 7-glucoside was determined 692.3mg% in leaf, respectively. DPPH radical scavenger activity was measured by DPPH method, it was shown higher 114.2% in ethanol extract of flower and 113.6% in ethanol extract of leaf than 88.05% of 100 ppm BHA as chemical antioxidant.
