Phlorotannins are reported to have diverse biological properties. However, no analytical methods for the standardization of phlorotannin preparations have been reported. Herein, we developed and validated an analytical method for the determination of dieckol in phlorotannin extracts (PRT) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The optimum HPLC conditions consisted of a Supelco Discovery C18 column stationary phase, a mobile phase (A: 15 % HPLC grade methanol in deionized water, B: methanol), UV detection at 230 nm, and a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. The optimized chromatographic conditions were validated and exhibited good specificity and linearity ($R^2$ > 0.9994-1.0000). The recoveries were in the range of 100.9-102.3 %. The method had good intermediate (%RSD 1.2) and intra-day (%RSD 0.4-1.7) assay precisions. This HPLC method had good accuracy and quality in the determination of dieckol in PRT.

Background: In the present study, we established an HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography)-analysis method for the determination of marker compounds as a part of the material standardization for the development of health-functional foods from Salvia plebeia R. Br. extract. Methods and Results: The quantitative determination method of hispidulin as a marker compound was optimized by HPLC analysis using a YMC hydrosphere C18 column with a gradient elution system. This method was validated using specificity, linearity, accuracy, and precision tests. It showed a high linearity in the calibration curve with a coefficient of correlation ($r^2$) of 0.999995. The method was fully validated, and was sensitive, with the limit of detection (LOD) at $0.09{\mu}g{\cdot}m{\ell}^{-1}$ and limit of quantification (LOQ) at $0.27{\mu}g{\cdot}m{\ell}^{-1}$. The relative standard deviation (RSD) values of the data from intra- and inter-day precision were 0.05 - 0.22% and 0.32 - 0.42%, respectively, and the intra- and inter-day accuracy of hispidulin were 99.5 - 102.3% and 98.8 - 101.5%, respectively. The average content of hispidulin in Salvia plebeia R. Br. extract was $3.945mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ (0.39%). Conclusions: These results suggest that the developed HPLC method is very efficient, and that it could contribute to the quality control of Salvia plebeia R. Br. extracts as a functional ingredient in health functional foods.

Pancreatin is a enzyme mixture breaking down carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Most pancreatin used in Korea is imported from foreign countries. However, guideline of each country for pancreatin produced from each country is different. Therefore, guideline for pancreatin imported from several countries, such as Europe, Japan and America, it is standardized to control its quality. Assay of enzyme activity for pancreatin in KP is similar to tat in JP, but it is significantly different from those in FP ad in USP. We measured pancreatin digestive activities of 17 commercial products. Activity assay of digestive enzymes, starch- and lipid-digestive enzymes, for pancreatin by KP method (including JP) was difficult compared to those by FIP ad USP methods. Particularly, activity assays of starch- and lipid-digestive enzymes by KP method were mistakable, ad varied in diluted samples than those by FIP. However, activity assay of protein-digestive enzyme by KP method was similar to that by FIP. Starch-digestive enzyme activities of 17 commercial pancreatins by KP method were lower 0.079-fold compared to those by FIP method. Their protein-digestive enzyme activities by KP method were higher 75.7-fold than those by FIP method. Their lipid-digestive enzyme activities by KP method were lower 0.234-fold compared to those by FIP method.

Bulhwangeumjeonggisan (BHGJGS) is a traditional herbal formulation generally used in the treatment of cold and gastritis. BHGJGS consists of eight herbal plants; Atractylodis Rhizoma, Magnoliae Cortex, Citri Pericarpium, Glycyrrhizae Radix, Agastachis Herba, Pinelliae Rhizoma, Zingiberis Rhizoma and Zizyphi Fructus. Complete standardization of this formulation has not been done yet. So, a simple and accurate method was developed and validated using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) with Diode Array Detector (DAD) for the standardization of BHGJGS. UPLC conditions were optimized using a c18 RP-Amide column with mobile phase; 0.1% phosphate buffer and acetonitrile, detection wavelength; 210 and 325 nm. The linearities of calibration curves were acceptable ($R^2$>0.9994), and the limit of detection and quantification were within the ranges of 0.011-0.091 and $0.034-0.277{\mu}g/ml$ respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of intra- and inter-day precisions were under 3.61%. The RSD of repeatability was under 0.68 %. The results of recovery test were 94.4-107.9%, and the RSD were under 4.6%. The developed method was used to find the contents of standard constituents in BHGJGS mix extract powder, and two commercial formulation (A and B). The data show that the developed method was specific, sensitive, accurate, and precise for analysis of BHGJGS components.

The present study was conducted to supply more scientific information for standardization of preparation method of Gyungdan and to determine the standard for manufacturing procedure adapted with mechanically impacting technology (MIT) for mass production. The optimum preparation condition for non-waxy Gyungdan adapted with MIT was 35% of water, 0.5% of wheat flour (w/w of soaked rice), and mechanically impacting for 10 min at 450 rpm. In the present study, standardization of manufacturing procedure for merchandizing of Gyungdan was established with width, weight, and height. Average of Gyungdan adapted with MIT at 90 rpm (stuffing speed) and 46.58 Herz (cutting speed) is 18.3 g of weight, 28.4 mm of height, and 32.4 mm of width. Hardness, as a main parameter of texture profile, of Gyungdan was maintained lower than 100 g up to 3 days at the storage of $20^{\circ}C$ and up to 70 days at the storage of $-20^{\circ}C$. And, it was performed to develop rice cake as meal-replacement adapted with MIT and sub-ingredients such as strawberry, pumpkin, and mugwort. Gyungdan prepared under controlling manufacturing condition of MIT was supplemented with 0-1.6% of sub-ingredients, respectively. In sensory tests, the best substitute ratios of strawberry, pumpkin, and mugwort were 1.6%, 0.8%, and 1.6%, respectively. With the results above, not-harden Gyungdan supplemented with sub-ingredients and various stuffs can be expected to application for wheat-substitute meal-replacement.
