Studies on the Volatile Components of Platycodon grandiflorus (jacquin) A.De Candolle

도라지의 휘발성분에 관한 연구

To identify the volatiles of Platycodon roots, the three-year-old and the 24-year-old Platycodon roots cultivated in a local farm were extracted with ethyl ether by SDE method. 54.71mg% and 80.01mg% of volatile components were collected in the three-year-old and in 24-year-old Platycodon roots, respectively. As a result of GC/MS(TIC) analysis, 24 and 28 compounds were identified, respectively; The amounts of volatile components such as hexanol, trans-2-hexenol and nonanal in 24-year-old roots were detected above ten times than those in 3-year-old roots. The Volatiles of 24-year-old roots were fractionated by SCC and identified by GC/MS to be 10 hydrocarbons, 8 alcohols, 10 aldehydes, 5 esters, 6 acids and 1 unknown compound as the major components. The species and total amounts of volatile component in 24-year-old Platycodon roots were considered to be higher than those in 3-year-old Platycodon roots. *Abbreviations 1.

재배도라지 3년근과 24년근을 SDE방법으로 추출하여 본 결과 휘발성분은 3년근에서 54.71 mg%, 24년근에서 80.01 mg%가 각각 포집되었다. 이들을 각각 GC/MS(TIC)로 분석한 결과 3년근에서는 24종 24년근에서는 28종의 휘발성분이 확인되었다. 특히 hexanol, trans-2-hexenol, nonanal의 휘발성분은 3년근에 비해 24년근에서 10배 이상 검출되었다. 도라지 24년근의 휘발성분을 GC/MS로 동정한 결과 주요성분으로 hydrocarbon류 10종, alcohol류 8종, aldehyde류 10종, ester류 5종, acid류 6종, 기타 1종의 휘발성분이 검출되었다. 도라지 휘발성분의 종류와 함량은 3년근보다 24년근에서 높게 나타나는 것으로 사료된다.
