Abstract

Thirty-one units of pure rosemary essential oil (EO) in domestic and foreign distribution markets were collected. Aromatic components of these samples were analyzed and antioxidant activity was measured. As the result, major aromatic components were identified such as ${\alpha}$-pinene, camphene, ${\beta}$-pinene, 1.8-cineole, verbenone and borneol. Major components of rosemary EO were different according to countries. Essential oil from France had good quality. Essential oil cultivated and extracted in South Korea had more content than the collected essential oil in components of ${\alpha}$-pinene and camphene. Only 16% of the total 31 unit samples satisfied the content of 9 ingredients presented by ISO. The quality of EDA was shown as 4.8-96.0%, remarkable differences per specimen. A total of 31 units, only 13% of EO showed more than 60% antioxidant activity. Difference of antioxidant activity did not correspond with specific component. Essential oil from Swiss had high antioxidant activity.

국내외에서 유통되고 있는 로즈마리 정유 31점을 수집하여 GC통한 유효성분분석과 항산화 활력시험을 실시하였다. 주요 성분은 ${\alpha}$-pinene, camphene, ${\beta}$-pinene, 1.8-cineol, verbenone 및 borneol 등이 동정되었다. 주요성분에 따라 생산국별로 함량의 차이가 나타났으며, 프랑스 원산 정유의 품질이 우수하였고, 국내에서 재배하여 추출한 정유가 ${\alpha}$-pinene과 camphene의 함량이 높았다. ISO가 제시한 9가지 성분의 함량을 충족하는 제품은 총 31점 중 5점(16%)으로 낮았다. 전자공여능(EDA)은 4.8-96.0%로 현저한 차이를 보였으며, 60%이상의 항산화능 활력을 갖는 정유는 13%였다. 특정 성분 함량에 따른 항산화 활력정도의 차이는 일치하지 않았으며, 스위스 원산의 정유에서 가장 높은 항산화 활력을 보였다.
