Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the effects of pre-soaking methods on the preparation of Rehmannia radix Preparata (R.P). The R. radix L (R.L) was soaked in distilled water and traditional Korean wine for 24 hr, then the soaked R.L was treated with a traditional nine-time steaming process. Next, catalpol, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF), polyphenols, flavonoids, antioxidant activities, and ACE inhibition activity were analyzed for the R.P produced by the different methods. The catalpol content of the R.L was 631.4 ppm, but the content decreased as steaming increased to 8-9 times. The 5-HMF, polyphenol, and flavonoid contents of the R.L were 0.12 mg/g, 5.09 mg/g, and 0.83 mg/g, respectively, and these increased gradually with increasing steaming times. As the steaming times of the distilled soaking water increased, the antioxidant activities of 1 mg/mL increased from 19.44% to 75.60% at 14 times of steaming. The ACE inhibition activities of 1 mg/mL of the distilled soaking water increased from 28.70% to 94.78% at 10 times of steaming, but decreased afterward.

숙지황의 제조에 미치는 침지용매의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 건지황을 막걸리와 증류수에 24시간 침지한 후 구증구포하여 숙지황을 제조하면서 증수에 따른 catalpol, 5-HMF, polyphenol, flavonoid, 항산화활성 및 ACE 저해활성 등을 분석하였다. Catalpol 함량은 건지황에서 631.4ppm으로 나타났으며, 증수가 증가할수록 급격히 감소하였고 막걸리 침지는 8증(75.84 ppm)까지, 증류수 침지 처리구는 9증(61.27 ppm)까지만 검출되었다. 5-HMF, 총 폴리페놀, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 증수가 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 5-HMF는 막걸리 침지는 13증(0.40%) 이후에, 증류수 침지 처리구는 11증(0.40%) 이후에 시판 숙지황의 함량과 비슷하였고 총 폴리페놀 함량과 총 플라보노이드 함량은 막걸리와 증류수침지 처리구 모두 14증에서 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 전자공여능은 건지황과 시판 숙지황 모두 1 mg/mL의 농도에서 각각 19.44 및 52.49%이었으며, 막걸리와 증류수침지 시료 모두 14증에서 각각 66.80 및 75.60%로 증가하였다. 총 항산화력도 처리증수가 증가할수록 증가하였다. ACE 저해활성은 건지황과 시판 숙지황 모두 1 mg/mL의 농도에서 각각 28.70 및 49.37%로 이었으며, 처리증수가 증가할수록 증가하여 막걸리와 증류수침지 시료 모두 10증에서 각각 93.23 및 94.78%로 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다.
