Background: Ginsenosides are the characteristic and principal components which manifest a variety of the biological and pharmacological activities of the roots and rhizomes of Panax ginseng (GRR). This study was carried out to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the ginsenosides in the cultivated and forest GRR. Methods: A rapid and sensitive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detector and quadrupole/time of flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-QTOF-MS/MS) was applied to the qualitative analysis of ginsenosides and a 4000 QTRAP triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer (HPLC-ESI-MS) was applied to quantitative analysis of 19 ginsenosides. Results: In the qualitative analysis, all ingredients were separated in 10 min. A total of 131 ginsenosides were detected in cultivated and forest GRR. The method for the quantitative determination was validated for linearity, precision, and limits of detection and quantification. 19 representative ginsenosides were quantitated. The total content of all 19 ginsenosides in the forest GRR were much higher than those in the cultivated GRR, and were increased with the growing ages. Conclusion: This newly developed analysis method could be applied to the quality assessment of GRR as well as the distinction between cultivated and forest GRR.

BACKGROUND: Globally, mulberry (Morus sp.) is exploited for feeding leaf to silkworms in order to obtain silk fiber or for animal feedstock production. Also, mulberry fruit is known to a by-product that was produced from mulberry tree after harvesting leaves for silkworm rearing, as a yield and consumption of mulberry fruit was increased, it has been fixing to a newincome crop. Mulberry leaves and fruits are used for the health benefits of human beings. Mulberry contains various bioactive components, such as alkaloids and flavonoids. Mulberry flavonoids are an important part of the diet because of their effects on human nutrition. The flavonoids in mulberry leaf and fruit of 'Suhyang'(Morus alba L.) were determined. METHODS AND RESULTS: Flavonoids for mulberry leaf and fruit of 'Suhyang' were analysed using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-QTOF/MS)technique. An UPLC-DAD-QTOF/MS system was used, and identification of mulberry leaves constituents was carried out on the basis of the complementary information obtained from LC spectra, MS ions, and MS/MS fragments. The mulberry leaf (16 flavonoids) and fruit (9 flavonoids) were isolated and analyzed from Suhyang using UPLC-DAD-QTOF/MS chromatogram. To the best of our knowledge, Quercetin 3-O-(6"-O-malonyl) glucoside and quercetin 3-O-rutinoside (rutin) was detected on the highest content in leaf and fruit, respectively and further research will be devoted to evaluate their biological activity. CONCLUSION: Obtaining information about the concentration of functional materials in mulberry leaves could contribute to the development and promotion of processed, functional products and offer possible industrial use of 'Suhyang', holding promises to enhance the overall profitability of sericulture.

Mulberry fruit is a new income product in Korea sericulture due to the increase of fruit consumption. However, flavonoids of Korean mulberry cultivar for fruit production did not reported yet. In this study, the typical mulberry cultivar, 'Daeshim' was analyzed using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-QTOF/MS) technique for flavonoids analysis. Nine flavonoids were isolated and analyzed from Daeshim using UPLC-DAD-QTOF/MS chromatogram. According to quantitative analysis, rutin (66.1 mg/100g DW) and quercetin 3-O-(6"-O-malonyl) glucoside (26.7 mg/100g DW) were abundant in mulberry fruit. Our results might be used as basic information for mulberry consumption.

본 연구에서는 국내산 대추나무의 잎과 열매의 flavonoid 배당체를 조사하기 위하여 선행 연구된 인용문헌을 바탕으로 대추나무, 묏대추나무, 야생대추나무 등 대추나무속(Zizyphus)에 따른 flavonoid의 화학적 정보 수집 및 정리하여 대추나무속의 flavonoid 라이브러리를 제작하였다. 각 flavonoid 개별성분은 UPLC-DAD-QTOF-ESI/MS를 사용하여 분석하였으며 제작된 라이브러리의 정보를 이용하여 국내산 대추나무로부터 총 6종의 flavonoid를 확인하였다. 이를 통하여 국내산 대추나무 잎의 주요 성분은 quercetin 배당체인 rutin임을 확인하였고, 특히 quercetin 3-O-robinobioside 및 isoquercitrin는 구축된 라이브러리를 바탕으로 대추나무 잎에서는 처음 확인된 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구와 같이 대추나무속 flavonoid의 화합물 정보를 포함하여 제작한 라이브러리는 선행된 연구와의 차이점 판단을 가능하게 할 것으로 사료된다.

Morus alba has white and/or purple fruits with a very sweet taste and low acidity. Most Korean mulberry trees have purple fruits. However, Baekokwang is a unique mulberry genetic resource in Korea with white fruits. In this study, flavonoids contents of Baekokwang mulberry leaf and fruit were analyzed using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-QTOF/MS) technique. UPLC-DAD-QTOF/MS chromatogram showed that 15 flavonoids and 9 flavonoids were isolated and identified from the mulberry leaf and fruit. Total flavonoids contents of Baekokwang leaves and fruits were 812.7 mg and 35.0 mg, respectively. Baekokwang leaves had 4 major flavonoids including quercetin 3-O-(6"-O-malonyl) glucoside, 235.3 ppm, kaempferol 3-O-(6"-O-malonyl) glucoside, 132.3 ppm, kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside (nicotiflorin), 108.1 ppm, and quercetin 3-O-rutinoside (rutin), 103.8 ppm. Baekokwang fruits had 3 major flavonoids including quercetin 3-O-(6"-O-malonyl) glucoside, 13.0 ppm, quercetin 3-O-rutinoside (rutin), 7.8 ppm, and kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside (nicotiflorin), 5.7 ppm. From the above results, mulberry leaves have rich flavonoids compared to its fruits.

UPLC-DAD-QTOF/MS를 이용하여 국내에서 재배한 7품종의 하이부시 블루베리와 7지역에서 재배된 복분자 열매에서 총 29종 (블루베리 29종, 복분자 종4)의 개별 플라보노이드 성분을 정성 및 정량 분석하였다. 블루베리의 평균 플라보노이드 함량은 143.0 mg/100g DW로 관찰되었고, 'Darrow'에서 가장 높았으며, 'Nelson'이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 복분자의 평균 플라보노이드 함량은 95.4 mg/100g DW로 나타났으며, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 정읍>순창>고창>광양 순으로 높았으나 정읍, 순창, 고창간에 유의적인 함량차이는 나타나지 않았다. 블루베리는 hyperoside와 isoqercitrin이 각각 총 플라보노이드 함량 중 평균 31.4%, 13.3%을 차지하였으며, 복분자는 rutin과 miquelianin이 각각 총 플라보노이드 함량 중 평균 51.4%, 40.2%를 차지하여 두 베리류 열매간 주요 플라보노이드 성분의 특성 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 블루베리 열매에서 quercetin 3-O-robinobioside, quercetin 3-O-(6"-O-malonyl)glucoside, isorhamnetin 3-O-robinobioside, avicularin, kaempferol 3-O-(6"-O-acetyl)glucoside, quercetin이 처음으로 동정되었다. 본 연구 결과는 국내산 블루베리와 복분자를 이용한 기능성 식품 개발에 필요한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 추후 연구에서는 보다 다양한 베리류에 대한 추가 분석이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 또한 본 연구 방법은 베리류 뿐만 아니라 다양한 식물에 존재하는 플라보노이드의 정성 및 정량 분석이 가능하여 활용 가치가 높을 것으로 사료된다.
