The mineral components of the Gastrodia elata Blum were determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrophtometry. The mineral component contents of the Gastrodia elata Blum were greater in the order of Fe < Na < Mg < Ca < P < K. The antioxidative effects of the Gastrodia elata Blum extracts on refined perilla oil were investigated by the rancimat method, peroxide value and TBA value. The antioxidative effects of Gastrodia elata Blum added to the refined perilla oil was increased with dose-dependent fashion in concentration of Gastrodia elata Blum extracts. The peroxide value and TBA value for their antioxidation stability were also lower than that of control. Antioxidation stability was increased in a dose-dependent manner.

Background: Although Gastrodia elata contains the valuable, bio-active compounds gastrodin and 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (4-HBA), it also contain ρ-cresol, which is a major source of an objectionable pig slurry-like odor. Accordingly, this study was performed to determine the deodorization effect of Diaion HP-20 resin on a G. elata extract. Methods and Results: Using Diaion HP-20 with an increasing concentration of ethanol, an extract of G. elata was fractionated into 15 fractions, which were anlayzed to determine their concentrations of active compounds and ρ-cresol. The gastrodin, 4-HBA, total phenolics, and ρ-cresol concentrations of the G. elata extract were 403.13, 408.15, 2,476.09, and 11.77 ㎍/㎖, respectively. Among the different fractions, gastrodin and 4-HBA were detected in fractions 3 to- 6, and 4 to- 10, respectively whereas total phenolics were detected in all samples, with fractions 5 to- 7 being characterized by higher concentrations than were the other fractions. ρ-Cresol was detected in fractions 12 to- 15, at concentrations ranging from 0.39 ㎍/㎖ to 6.05 ㎍/㎖ with the highest concentration detected in fraction 14. The fractions containing ρ-cresol could be selectively separated from the G. elata extract without the loss of major bio-active compounds such as gastrodin and 4-HBA. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that a deodorizing method using Diaion HP-20 resin can be considered for improving the sensory qualities of G. elata extract without a loss of the major bio-active compounds.
