대두 펩타이드의 아미노산 조성 및 평균소수도가 혈청 콜레스테롤의 농도에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 대두 단백질(ISP), 카세인(CNP), 이들 단백질을 펩신으로 가수분해하여 pH에 다른 펩타이드 침전 획분들(SHT, SH8, SH6, SH4, CHT) 및 각 단백질과 같은 조성의 아미노산 혼합물(SAA, CAA)을 흰쥐에 섭취시키고 혈청콜레스테롤 농도를 측정하였다. 각 펩타이드의 아미노산 조성을 분석하고, 이로부터 구한 Lys/Arg 비율 및 소수성 아미노산의 몰분율은 혈청 콜레스테롤의 농도와 상관관계가 없었으며, Tanford, Manavalan 및 Meirovitch법으로 구한 평균소수도와도 상관관계가 없었다. 그러나, Krigbaum법으로 구한 평균소수도와는 상관계수가 -0.736으로 음의 상관관계이어서, 식이 펩타이드의 krigbaum 평균소수도가 높을 수록 래트의 혈청 콜레스테롤 농도가 낮아졌다.
Effects of amino acid composition and average hydrophobicity of soybean peptides on serum cholesterol in rats were investigated. Soybean protein(ISP), casein(SCN), their peptic hydrolyzates fractionated by acid precipitations(SHT, SH8, SH6, SH4, CHT), and amino acid mixtures of the same composition as the proteins(SAA, CAA) were prepared to feed to rats. The amino acid composition of the peptides was analyzed by HPLC and the concentration of serum cholesterol in the rats was measured. By data analysis, it was found that there was no relationship between ratio of Lys/Arg or molar ratio of hydrophobic amino acids and serum cholesterol level. And also there was no relationship between the concentration and average hydrophobicity calculated by the method of Tanford, Manavalan, for Meirovitch, only except by the method of Krigbaum(r=-0.736); the higher the average hydrophobicity of Krigbaum was, the lower the concentration of serum cholestrol became.
