Studies on Chemical Properties of Cheongtae

To accept basic data of utilizing of cheongtae as a raw material of new food and industrial products, major chemical components were investigated. As a results of mineral analysis, the content of P (310.52mg/100 g) was much higher. than those of K (48.65 mg/100 g), Ca (40.93 mg/100 g), Mg (27.87 mg/100 g), Na(14.36 mg/100 g), Fe (6.31 mg/100 g), Zn (4.40 mg/100 g) and Cu(1.27 mg/100 g). The main components of free sugar in cheongtae were sucrose and glucose. The main fatty acids of total lipid were linoleic acid and oleic acid, which comprised over 75 of total fatty acids. The daidzein and genistein levels in cheongae were 40.95 mg/100g, 38.02 mg/100 g, respectively.
