Abstract

Interests in natural products have been gradually increasing as well-being era has arrived. Panax ginseng was chosen since it represents Korean traditional medicine as its effect on many age-related symptoms. Panax ginseng absolute essential oil was prepared and analyzed for its main components. Ginseng absolute oil was extracted from Panax ginseng using organic solvent of hexane and ethanol with the yield of 0.146%. The oil was analyzed by GC-MS and main components are sesquiterpenes such as neoclovene, panasinsene, and calarene and more than 110 components were identified from it. The oil was tested for antibacterial activity against general bacteria(E. Coli, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa), yeast, acne germ(Propionibacterium acne) and dandruff germ(Pityrosporum ovale). Panox ginseng absolute essential oil showed the prominent antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes ACCC 6919.

웰빙 시대로 지칭되는 오늘날의 사회 특성으로부터 천연물에 대한 관심은 점점 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국을 대표하는 생약재이자 향료식물인 인삼에 포함된 향료를 유기용매로 추출하여 앱솔루트 정유를 제조하고 그 성분을 분석하였다. 헥산과 에탄올 등 유기용제를 이용하여 제조된 인삼 앱솔루트 정유의 수율은 0.146%였으며, 주요성분은 neoclovene, panasinsene 및 calarene 등, sesquiterpene류가 주를 이루었다. 그 외에 110여 종의 인삼 향기 물질을 GC-MS 분석으로 확인하였다. 또한 일반세균 3종(대장균, 화농균, 녹농균), 효모균, 여드름균 및 비듬균에 대한 인삼정유 성분의 항균력을 측정한 결과 여드름균에 대한 강한 항균작용을 확인할 수 있었다.
