Abstract

The seasonal variation of two triterpene glycosides, madecassoside and asisaticoside, in the aerial parts of Centella asiatica from May through October was investigated. In leaves, the highest level of triterpene glycosides content was about 108.1 mg/g in September. In petiols, the content was as low as 19.02 mg/g. According to the experimental results obtained, we found that Centella asiatica leaf can accumulate the triterpene glycosides and September is the optimal season for the collection.

5월부터 10월까지 병풀의 지상부에 triterpene glycosides인 madecassoside와 asiaticoside의 시기별 함량변화를 조사하였다. 잎에서는 9월에 약 108.1 mg/g으로 가장 높은 수준의 함량을 보였다. 엽병에서는 19.02 mg/g으로 잎에서 보이는 수준보다는 낮은 수준을 나타냈다. 병풀의 triterpene glycosides는 잎에 주로 축적되며, 가장 적절한 병풀의 수확시기는 9월로 잠적 확인되었다.
