Comparison of antioxidant Activity and Antioxidant Components between Yellow Color Corn and Red Color Corn

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was carried out to evaluate the comparison of antioxidant activity and antioxidant
components between yellow color corn and red corn color. For the antioxidant activities, a chemiluminometer
and nitrite scavenging activity were used. Also, antioxidant components were analyzed by total phenolic
content, carotenoid content and anthocyanin content. Between inbred lines of yellow color corns and red
color waxy corns, the antioxidant activity and components showed various results. Nitrite scavenging activity
of yellow color and red color corn at various pH levels (pH 1.2, 4.2, 6.0) was decreased by pH 1.2,
6.0, and 4.2. Antioxidant activity used by chemiluminometer ranged from 85.5 to 3.54 in yellow corn and
from 94.3 to 24.2 in red corn.In total phenolic content, some lines in red color corns showed the high antioxidant
activities than yellow corn lines. The average total phenol content of yellow color and red color
corn was 606.2 μg/g and 524.9 μg/g, respectively. Carotenoid content of yellow color corn ranged from
230.8 μg/g to 34.3 μg/g. Anthocyanin of red color corn ranged from 0.53 μg/g to 1.59 μg/g.
