작약 잎과 줄기의 건조 방법에 따른 Phenol 화합물의 변화

Changes of Phenolic Compounds Affected by Different Drying Method in Leaves and Stems of Peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.)

작약의 지상부인 잎과 줄기 부위가 함유하고 있는 주요성분인 paeoniflorin, methyl gallate, astragalin, kaempferol 등 4종의 화합물의 이용성을 높이기 위해 건조방법 및 건조 온도별 성분의 함량 변화를 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 건조방법별 성분 변화는 kaempferol, methyl gallate, astragalin, paeoniflorin 등 모든 성분은 열풍건조나 dry oven 보다도 원적외선 건조 또는 상온 음건에서 더 높았다. 특히 methyl gallate는 상온 음건에서 0.52%로서 가장 높았다. 2. 건조온도별 성분변화는 kaempferol, methyl gallate, astragalin, paeoniflorin 등은 $40^{\circ}C$ 건조에서는 성분의 함량이 모두 높게 나타났으나 건조온도가 높아질수록 성분은 감소하는 경향이었다.

This study was conducted to identify changes of chemical components affected by different drying method and temperature conditions in leaves and stems of peony plant. Drying methods were the dried air heated $(50^{\circ}C)$, far-red ray $(50^{\circ}C)$, room temperature and oven dry $(50^{\circ}C)$. Drying temperature were 40, 50, 60, 70 and $80^{\circ}C$ on far-red ray dryer. Among the drying methods, the contents of components were the highest in far-red drying and normal temperature drying as compared with air heated drying and oven drying. Among the drying temperature conditions, the contents of components were the highest in drying temperature at $40^{\circ}C$ and decreased in high temperature of $70^{\circ}C\;and\;80^{\circ}C$.
