녹차 및 매실추출물이 아질산염 소거, 전자 공여능 및 NDMA 생성 억제에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 질산염과 아민이 풍부한 식단(CW)에 인공타액과 위액을 이용한"simulated digestion"에서 확인하였다. 녹차와 매실 추출물의 아질산염 소거작용을 pH 1.2,4.2 및 6.0에서 실험한 결과, pH가 낮을수록, 시료 첨가량이 많을수록 효과적이었으며 pH 1.2에서 녹차 추출물 0.5ml 첨가시킬 경우 99.6%의 높은 소거작용을 나타내었고, 매실 추출물 3ml 첨가시 77.2%의 소거작용을 나타내었다. 녹차 및 매실 추출물의 전자공여 시용은 각각 70.6%, 75.1%로 높게 나타났다. 녹차와 배 신 추출물의 NDMA 생성억제 효과는 pH 1.2에시 가장 뛰어났을, 시료량이 증가할수록 억제효과가 높아 3ml 첨가시에 82.1%와 73.2%의 억제효과를 나타내었다. 실험식이에 녹차 및 매실 추출물의 텀가량을 달리하여 인공소화시킬 때 NDMA생성억제 효과는 시료 첨가량에 비례하여 각각 20m1첨가시 녹차 추출물은 57.9%, 매실 추출물은 48.4%의 NDMA 생성 억제 효과를 나타내었다.
The effects of nitrite scavenging. electron donating and N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) formation in vitro arid green tea(Camellia sinensis) and Maesil(Prunus mume) were studied. The green tea and Maesil extracts were tested for their nitrite-scavenging effect under the different pH conditions such as pH 1.2, 4.2 aud 6.0. The effects of nitrite-scavenging in all concentrations were diminished in the alkali condition, while its effects in the acidic condition of pH 1.2 were reached of more than 99.0% by adding above 0.5ml of green tea extract. And also, nitrite-scavenging effect by adding 3ml of Maesil extract was about 77.0%. The electron donating ability(EDA) of green tea and Maesil extracts was 70.6%, 75.1%, respectively. The formation of NDMA was very effectiveness which was inhibited 82.1%, 73.2% at reaction mixture of pH 2.5 adding 3ml of above extracts. respectively . The ground CW. TW1 and TW2 (refer to Table 1) diets were incubated with 10m1 simulated saliva and 40m1 gastric juice at 37$^{circ}C$ for 2hrs. NDMA formation was inhibited at all levels of green tea and Measil extracts.
