Extraction of Pesticide Residues in Ginseng by Microwave
Microwave를 이용한 인삼 중의 잔류 농약 추출
Abstract
Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) is known as a more environmental-friendly process with economic advantages in terms of less time, less solvent, less energy and less waste than the current reflux method that is time-consuming. MAE was applied to extract three pesticides (quintozene, tolclofos-methyl and procymidone) from ginseng in a pesticide residue analysis and eliminate pesticide contaminants from ginseng prior to production of the ginseng extracts. The optimal conditions for pesticide extraction from ginseng were 50% in power (150 watts), 2 minutes, 20 mL hexane and 2.0 g sample. The results of optimal conditions were compared with those of Soxhlet method (7 hours, 150 mL hexane). The recoveries between two methods were almost same while time and amount of solvent used in MAE were significantly decreased in comparing with those in the Soxhlet methods. When the 45% ethyl alcohol as a extraction solvent was applied to eliminate pesticides from ginseng prior to the production of the ginseng extracts, it was found that 100% quintozene, 69% tolclofos-methyl and 83% procymidone were eliminated from ginseng. The data showed that MAE may be used to eliminate pesticide contaminants in ginseng prior to making the ginseng extracts.
인삼시료에 있는 quintozene, tolclofos-methyl 그리고 procymidone 등의 농약성분을 추출하기 위한 방법으로서 microwave를 이용할 수 있을 지의 여부와 인삼을 가공제품으로 만들기 전에 microwave를 이용하여 잔류농약 성분을 신속히 추출하여 제거시킬 수 있는지 알고자 하였다. 인삼분말 시료에 hexane을 추출용매로 이용한 microwave 추출의 최적 조건은 power 150 watts, 추출시간 2분이었고 그 추출 효율은 Soxhlet으로 7시간 동안 가열 환류 추출한 결과를 지수 100으로 하였을 때 quintozene 100, tolclofos-methyl 92, procymidone 100으로 거의 동일한 수준으로 나타났다. 그리고 microwave 추출법을 사용함으로써 실제 Soxhlet 추출법에서 사용된 용매양의 최소 7배 이상 감소시킬 수 있었고 추출 시간 또한 7시간에서 2분으로 훨씬 단축되었다. 인삼 엑기스 제조 전 잔류농약 성분의 제거 실험에 있어서 45%나 60% ethyl alcohol을 용매로 사용하고 microwave로 power 150 watts 추출시간 2분 이내로 1회 추출하여 quintozene 100%, tolclofos-methyl 69%, procymidone 83%정도의 제거효과를 얻었다.
