Abstract
In order to investigate chemical components and mineral of ginseng cultivated in Korea and to establish an appropriate extraction method, the present work was carried out with Raw ginseng(SC), White ginseng(SB) and Ginseng tail(SA). The results determined could be summarized as follows : 1. Among the proximate components, moisture content of SC, SB and SA were 66.37%, 12.61% and 12.20% respectively. The content of crude ash in SA was the highest value of three kinds of ginseng root: SA 6.04%, SB 3.52% and SC 1.56%. The crude protein of Dried ginseng root(SA and SB) was about 12-14%, which was more than two times compared with that of SC(6.30%) The content of pure protein seemed to be in similar tendency with that of crude protein in three kinds of ginseng root: 2.26% in SC, 5.94% in SB and 5.76% in SA. There was no significant difference in the content of fat among the kinds of ginseng root. $(1.1{\sim}2.5%)$ 2. The highest Ginseng extract was obtained by use of Continuous extractor which is a modified Soxhlet apparatus for 60 hours extraction with 60-80% ethanol. 3. Ginseng and the above-mentioned ginseng extract (Ginseng tail extract: SAE, White Ginseng extract : SBE, Raw Ginseng extract: SCE) were analyzed by volumetric method for the determination of Chlorine and Calcium, by colorimetric method for that of Iron and Phosphorus, by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer for that of Zinc, Copper and Manganese. The results were as follows : 1. The content of phosphorus in SA, SB and SC were 1.818%, 1.362%, 0.713% respectively and phosphorus content in three kinds of extract were in low level (SAE: 0.03%, SBE: 0.063%, SCE: 0.036%) 2. In the Calcium content, SA, SB and SC were 0.147%, 0.238%, 0.126% and the Calcium contents of Ginseng extracts were 0.023%, 0.011% and 0.016%. The extraction ratio of Calcium from SA was the highest value (15.6%), while that in the case of SB was 4.6%. 3. The Chlorine content of SA was 0.11%, this was slightly higher than others(SB: 0.07%, SC: 0.09%) and extraction ratio of SA and SB were 36.4%, 67.1% while that of SC was 84.4%. 4. The Iron content of SA, SB and SC were 125ppm, 32.5ppm and 20ppm but extraction ratio was extremely low (SAE: 1.33%, SBE: 0.83%, SCE: 1.08%), 5. The Manganese content of SA, SB and SC were 62.5ppm, 25.0ppm and 5.0ppm respectively but the Manganese content of extract could not determined, Copper content of SA, SB and SC were 15.0ppm, 20.0ppm and those of extract were 7.5ppm, 6.5ppm, 4.5ppm while those of extraction ratio were 50%, 32.5% and 90% respectively, Zinc was abundant in Ginseng compared with other herbs, (SA: 45.5ppm, SB: 27.5ppm and SC: 5.5ppm) and the extracted amount were 4.5ppm, 1.25ppm 1.50ppm respectively.
인삼중에는 약리학적면에서 뿐 아니라 생화학적 및 영양학적면에서 중요한 역할을 하는 무기질 및 미량원소가 다양하게 함유되어 있어서 생체를 구성하거나 각 조직의 기능을 촉진시키는 생물학적 활성물질로서의 역할을 하고 있다. 본 실험에서는 인삼 무기질의 효율적 이용을 목적으로 추출조건에 따른 엑기스의 수량과 추출된 인삼 엑기스의 무기질 및 미량원소를 미색법 및 원자흡광 분석법으로 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 가장 효율적인 추출방법은 인삼원료량의 $10{\sim}20$배 되는 $60{\sim}80%$ ethanol로 60시간 이상 연속추출하는 것으로서 그 수량은 60% ethanol의 경우가 16.5%, 80%의 경우가 13.5%로서 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 2. 6년근 수삼과 백삼및 미삼의 수분함량은 각각 66.37%, 12.61%, 12.20%였으며 회분은 1.56%, 3.52%, 6.04%였고, 가용성 무질소물은 20.75%, 61.00%, 45.00%였으며 조단백질은 6.30%, 13.69%, 12.69%였고 순단백질은 2.26%, 5.94%, 5.76%였으며 조지방은 1.11%, 2.02%, 2.50%였고 조섬유는 2.41%, 8.74%, 8.87%였다. 3. 무기질 및 미량원소를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) P함량은 미삼, 백삼, 수삼이 각각 1.318%, 1.362%, 0.713%였고 인삼엑기스의 그것은 미삼, 백삼, 수삼이 각각 0.038%, 0.063%, 0.036%로서 비교적 낮은추출율을 보이고 있다. 2) Ca함량은 미삼, 백삼, 수삼이 각각 0.147%, .238%, 0.126%이고 그 엑기스는 미삼, 백삼, 수삼이 0.023%, 0.011%, 0.016%여서 미삼은 15.6%이상이 ethanol로 추출된데 비해 백삼은 4.6%로 추출율이 극히 낮았다. 3) CI함량은 미삼 0.11%, 백삼 0.07%, 수삼 0.09%로 시료간에는 뚜렷한 함량차가 없었으며 미삼은 그 함량의 36.4%가 백삼은 67.1%가 ethanol로 추출된데 반하여 수삼은 84.4%로 가장 높은 추출수율을 보였다. 4) Fe함량은 미삼이 125.0ppm으로 가장 많고 백삼은 32.5ppm, 수삼은 20.0ppm이었는데 그 추출수율은 극히 낮아서 미삼은 1.33%, 백삼은 0.83%, 수삼은 1.08%에 불과하였다. 5) Cu, Zn 및 Mn은 미량원소로서 이중 Mn은 미삼 62.5ppm, 백삼 25.0ppm, 수삼 5.0ppm으로 비교적 많은 양이 함유되었으나 ethanol로 추출한 엑기스에서는 정량되지 않았으며 Cu는 미삼, 백삼, 수삼이 각각 15.0ppm, 20.0ppm, 5.0ppm이고 인삼 엑기스에는 7.5ppm, 6.5ppm, 4.5ppm으로서 50%, 32.5%, 90%의 추출율을 보였다.
