Abstract

Seven native and four introduced herbs namely $Thymus$ $quinquecostatus$, $Chrysanthemum$ $zawadskii$ var. $latilobum$, $Rosmarinus$ $officinalis$, etc. were selected for analysis of the DPPH radical scavenging and anti-microbial activity of their extracts. These perennial herbs are classified as $Labiatae$ and $Compositae$ except for $Saururus$ $chinensis$ and can be propagated through seedling and cuttage. These edible herbs are used as medicinal as well as ornamental plants. Their extract has electron donating ability which ranges from 69.7 to 78.7% for native herbs and 67.4 to 75.4% for introduced herbs. Native herbs have higher (3.54%) average DPPH radical scavenging than introduced herbs. In native herbs, maximum DPPH radical scavenging activity was observed in $Agastache$ $rugosa$ (78.7%) followed by $Saururus$ $chinensis$ while $Chamaemelum$ $nobile$ showed highest activity among the introduced herbs. Many herbs viz. $Saururus$ $chinensis$, $Chrysanthemum$ $zawadskii$ var. $latilobum$ and $Solidago$ $virga-aurea$ var. $gigantean$ showed excellent anti-microbial activity against gram positive $Enterococcus$ $faecalis$, maximum (80.0%) by $Saururus$ $chinensis$. Other herbs viz. $Solidago$ $virga-aurea$ var. $gigantea$, $Chrysanthemum$ $zawadskii$ var. $latilobum$, $Salvia$Salvia $plebeia$, $Chrysanthemum$ $indicum$, $Rosmarinus$ $officinalis$, $Chamaemelum$ $nobile$ and $Lavandula$ $stoechas$ showed anti-microbial activity against gram negative $Citrobacter$ $freundii$. Especially, the inhibition of colony growth of $Citrobacter$ $freundii$ was highest in the extract of $Chrysanthemum$ $zawadskii$ var. $latilobum$, and $Chamaemelum$ $nobile$.

자생허브 및 도입허브를 몇 가지 선발하여 추출물의 DPPH에 대한 전자공여능으로 항산화 활성과 배지 희석법으로 장내세균과 부패세균에 대한 항균활성을 분석하였다. 선발된 허브는 백리향, 구절초, 삼백초 등 7종의 자생허브와 로즈마리, 케모마일 등 4종의 도입허브로 삼백초를 제외한 대부분이 꿀풀과와 국화과에 속하였다. 또한 대부분이 다년초로서 실생과 삽목방법에 의해 번식하며, 7-10월에 걸쳐 개화하고 식용, 약용, 향료 등으로 이용되었다. DPPH를 이용한 전자공여능을 측정한 결과 자생허브는 69.7-78.7%의 범위에서 평균 74.21%를 나타냈으나 도입허브는 67.4-75.4%의 범위에서 평균 70.67%로 도입허브보다는 자생허브에서 3.54% 높았다. 자생허브 중에는 배초향 78.7%, 삼백초 77.8% 등의 전자공여능이 높았으며, 서양허브 중에는 케모마일이 75.4%로 가장 높았다. 장내세균과 부패세균에 대한 항균활성으로 Gram positive인 $Enterococcus$ $faecalis$에 항균활성 효과가 있는 허브 추출물은 구절초, 삼백초, 울릉미역취 등이었다. 이들 추출물은 50%이상 colony수 감소율을 나타냈으며, 그 중 삼백초 추출물이 $E.$ $faecalis$에 항균활성 효과가 80%로 가장 높았다. Gram negative인 $Citrobacter$ $freundii$에 항균 활성 효과가 있는 허브 추출물은 구절초, 울릉미역취, 배암차즈기, 감국, 로즈마리, 케모마일, 라벤더 등 7종이었다. 특히, 구절초와 케모마일은 $C.$ $freundii$에 항균활성 효과가 가장 높게 나타났는데, 구절초 추출물은 $10^2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$에서 90.7%, $10^3mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$에서 99.45%의 colony수가 감소되었으며, 케모마일 추출물은 $10^2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$에서 89.4%, $10^3mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$에서 99.1%의 colony수가 감소되는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 Gram negative인 $Escherichia$ $coli$에 항균활성 효과가 있는 허브 추출물은 백리향, 울릉미역취, 배암차즈기, 로즈마리, 라벤더 등 5종이었다.
