어육 단백질 급원식품으로서 복어의 활용도를 높이고자 육과 껍질로 분리한 후 이화학적 특성을 살펴본 결과 일반성분은 복육과 복껍질에서 각각 조단백의 함량이 89.5와 82.7%로 가장 높았고, 조지방은 껍질에서 회분은 육에서 더 높은 함량이었다. 핵산관련 물질은 IMP의 함량이 다른 성분에 비해 높았으며, 여타 성분은 $1;{mu}mol/g$ 미만으로 정량되었다. 지방산 조성은 포화지방산이 각각 83.9%와 66.3%로 복육에서 더 높았고, 단일불포화지방산인 oleic acid는 복껍질 건조분말에서 25.9%로 복육 건조분말에 비하여 높은 비율이었다. 구성아미노산은 복육 건조분말에서 17종, 복껍질 건조분말에서 16종이 검출되었으며, 총 함량도 복육 건조분말(83,739 mg/100 g)에서 복껍질 건조분말(75,361 mg/100 g)에 비해 더 높았다. 복육 건조분말에서는 glutamic acid가 13,707 mg/100 g으로 가장 높고 다음으로 aspartic acid, lysine, leucine, arginine, alanine, valine, glycine 순이었다. 복껍질 건조분말은 glycine이 14,843 mg/100 g으로 가장 높고, 다음으로 glutamic acid, proline, alanine, arginine의 순으로 높게 나타났다. 유리아미노산은 복육 건조분말에서 25종, 복껍질 건조분말에서 22종이 검출되었는데 taurine이 각각 554.4 mg/100 g과 153.6 mg/100 g으로 가장 높은 함량이었다. 총 유리아미노산의 함량은 복육 건조분말에서 약 1.5배 더 높았으며 특히 cysteine의 경우 복껍질 건조분말에서는 검출되지 않았으나 복육 건조분말에서는 $159.3pm1.8$ mg/100g으로 정량되었다.
The objective of this study was about physicochemical characteristic of puffer muscle and skin to promote the utilization of puffer as fish protein. In proximate composition, crude protein of dried puffer muscle and skin powders were 89.5% and 82.7%, respectively. Skin powders had higher lipid contents than muscle powders. Ash contents of muscle powders were higher than those of skin powders. In nucleotides and their related compounds, the contents of nucleotides were in order of IMP and ADP. The contents of saturated fatty acid in puffer muscle (83.9%) was higher than skin powders (66.3%). Oleic acid, mono-unsaturated fatty acid, in skin powder (25.9%) was higher than in muscle powders. Seventeen kinds of composition amino acids were detected in muscle powders, while 16 kinds of amino acids were found in skin powders. Total contents of amino acid in muscle powders (83,739 mg/100 g) were higher than those of skin powders (75,361 mg/100 g). In the muscle powders of puffer, glutamic acid was the highest amino acid with the concentration of 13,707 mg/100 g, and was in order of aspartic acid, lysine, leucine, arginine, alanine, valine and glycine. In skin powders, glutamic acid was the highest content with 14,843 mg/100 g followed by proline, alanine and arginine. Twenty five kinds of free amino acids were detected in dried muscle powders, while 22 kinds of free amino acids were found in dried skin powders. Taurine of dried puffer muscle and skin powders was the highest free amino acid with the concentration of 554.4 mg/100 g and 153.6 mg/100 g, respectively. The contents of total free amino acids of dried muscle powders were higher than those of dried skin powders. Especially, cysteine was only detected in dried muscle with the content of $159.3pm1.8$ mg/100 g.
