Abstract

Optimal extraction, separation and capillary rinsing conditions for capillary electrophoresis (CE) were established to discriminate the geographical origin of ligusticum root (Ligusticum wallichii) using 113 samples (domestic sample n = 62, foreign sample n = 51). Ligusticum root was extracted with 30% ethanol and separated on a uncoated fused-silica $(50\;{\mu}m{\times}27\;cm)$ capillary. Conditions for optimal analysis include: temperature, $40^{\circ}C$; voltage, 10 kV; and pressure injection time, domestic and foreign samples were 5 sec and 2 sec, respectively. The optimal separation buffer was 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) containing 15 mM iminodiacetic acid with 40% methanol. Under the optimal conditions established for CE, the ratio of specific peak area (peak LW-1) to other peak area (peak LW-5) was effective in discrimination geographical origin of ligusticum root. The mean accuracy for correct discrimination of geographical origin of domestic and foreign ligusticum roots were 65% and 63%, respectively.

최근 수입자유화 이후 중국산 한약재의 수입이 증가하면서 수입산과 국산의 명확한 판별이 요구되고 있는 가운데 수입이 급증한 품목 중 하나인 천궁을 선택, CE를 이용한 분석조건을 확립하고 원산지판별에의 적용가능성을 검토하였다. 분석을 위한 지표물질의 추출에는 30% ethanol 을 사용하였고, $50\;{\mu}m\;I.D.{\times}27\;cm$ 길이의 uncoated fused-silica capillary를 이용하여 $40^{\circ}C$, 10 kV로 200 nm에서 분석하였다. 0.1 M phosphate buffer(pH 2.5)에 40% methanol과 15 mM IDA를 첨가하여 분석 buffer로 사용하였고, 국산시료는 5초, 수입산은 2초 동안 pressure injection하였다. 분석 시 시료 injection 전에 증류수로 4분간 흘려주고 분석 buffer로 10분간 평형화시켰으며 분석이 끝난 후 0.1M phosphoric acid와 1N sodium hydroxide를 각각 4분씩 흘려 분석의 재현성을 높이고자 하였다. 이상의 조건으로 시중에 유통되는 국내산(62점)과 수입산(51점) 천궁을 분석한 결과 전체 peak에 대한 구성비율이 서로 차이를 나타내는 peak LW-1과 peak LW-5(용출시간 약 11분, 14분)를 원산지 판별에 적용할 수 있는 peak로 도출하였으며, 이 peak를 이용한 국산 및 수입산 천궁의 원산지 판별율은 국산이 약 65%(총 62점 중 40점을 바르게 판별), 수입산은 약 63%(총 51점 중 32점을 바르게 판별)로 나타났다.
