Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant activities and ginsenoside compositions of 4-year-old cultured ginseng roots (4CGR), 4-year-old mountain ginseng roots (4MGR) and leaves (4MGL), and 8-year-old mountain ginseng roots (MGR) and leaves (8MGL). Ginseng root and leaves were extracted with water and 80% ethanol. Crude saponin content of 4CGR was 3.85% (d.b.) and the contents of 4MGR, 4MGL, 8MGR and 8MGL were 6.75, 8.57, 6.53 and 7.54% (d.b.), respectively. 4CGR showed the highest content of ginsenoside-$Rh_1$ (6.07 mg/g), 4MGR showed the highest content of ginsenoside-$Rb_1$ (11.63 mg/g), 4MGL showed the highest content of ginsenoside-Re (24.35 mg/g), 8MGR showed the highest content of ginsenoside-$Rh_1$ (19.77 mg/g), and 8MGL showed the highest content of ginsenoside-Re (20.43 mg/g). Total antioxidant activity (AEAC) was ranged from 5.56 at 4MGR to 20.67 mg AA eq/g at 8MGL.

국산 재배삼 4년근의 뿌리, 장뇌삼 4년근과 8년근의 잎과 뿌리에 대한 물 및 80% 에탄올 추출물에 대한 구성사포닌 및 항산화 활성을 분석하였다. 재배삼 80% 에탄올 추출물에 대한 조사포닌 함량은 3.85% (d.b) 이었으며, 4년근 장뇌삼 뿌리와 잎의 조사포닌 함량은 각각 6.75 및 8.57% (d.b)이었으며, 8년근 장뇌삼은 각각 6.53 및 7.54% (d.b)이었다. 재배삼의 구성사포닌은 ginsenoside-$Rh_1$의 함량이 6.07 mg/g으로 가장 높았고, 4년근 장뇌삼뿌리는 $-Rb_1$이 11.63 mg/g, 잎은 -Re가 24.35 mg/g으로 가장 높았고 8년근 장뇌삼 뿌리는 $-Rh_1$ 이 19.77 mg/g, 잎은 -Re가 20.43 mg/g으로 가장 높았다. 항산화활성 ($IC_{50}$값)은 삼의 종류 및 연근별로 1.84~21.88 mg/mL의 범위이었고 8년근 장뇌삼 잎 80% 에탄올 추출물에서 가장 높았다. 총 항산화력은 5.56~20.67 mg AA eq/g의 범위를 나타내었으며, 8년근 장뇌삼 잎 증류수 추출물에서 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다.
