Abstract

In this study, we selected two essential oils, Citrus unshiu and Cinnamomum cassia with superior antioxidant effects from the essential oils of 7 wild plants in South Korea and examined their antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans, which causes dermatitis to identify the antimicrobial components in the essential oils. As a result of measuring DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, SC50 value of the Citrus unshiu essential oil was 0.010 mg/mL, while for the Cinnamomum cassia essential oil, SC50 value was 0.09 mg/mL. In addition, when ABTS (2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activity was measured, SC50 value of the Citrus unshiu essential oil was 0.09 mg/mL, while for the Cinnamomum cassia essential oil, it was 0.06 mg/mL, exhibiting high antioxidant activity. For the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), the essential oil of Cinnamomum cassia was 1.25 mg/mL and that of Citrus unshiu was 5 mg/mL, demonstrating a high antimicrobial activity of the Cinnamomum cassia essential oil. Through the thin layer chromatography (TLC) bioassay, we assessed the antimicrobial activity against C. albicans according to the fraction components of the two essential oils. Also, by using preparative TLC (prep. TLC), we obtained the active fractions, and by performing GC/MS analysis of the components with the same Rf value, we identified the antimicrobial-active components. As a result, the main components having antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were cinnamyl acetate, eucalyptol, linalool, and citral of the Cinnamomum cassia essential oil and linalool from the Citrus unshiu essential oil. Also, based on the analysis of the fractional components that showed antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in both of the two essential oils, it was found that linalool has antioxidant activity, while cinnamyl acetate, eucalyptol, citral, and geranyl acetate have antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.

본 연구에서는 국내 자생식물 7종의 정유 중 우수한 항산화 효과가 있는 온주밀감, 육계나무 정유 2종을 선별하였고, 피부염을 유발하는 Candida albicans에 대한 항미생물 활성 평가를 통해 식물정유의 항미생물 활성성분을 구명하고자 하였다. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) 라디칼 소거활성 측정 결과 SC50값이 온주밀감 정유 0.010 mg/mL, 육계나무 정유 0.09 mg/mL을 나타냈으며, 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) 라디칼 소거활성 측정 결과 온주밀감 정유 0.09 mg/mL, 육계나무 정유 0.06 mg/mL로 높은 항산화 활성을 나타냈다. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration는 육계나무 정유 1.25 mg/mL, 온주밀감 정유 5 mg/mL 값으로 육계나무 정유에서 뛰어난 항미생물 활성이 나타났다. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) bioassay를 통해 2종 정유의 성분 분획에 따른 C. albicans에 대한 항미생물 활성을 평가하였고, preparative TLC (prep. TLC)를 통해 활성분획을 획득하고, 동일 Rf값을 가지는 성분들에 대해서 GC/MS 분석을 수행하여 항미생물 활성성분을 구명하였다. 그 결과 항산화 및 항미생물 활성을 나타내는 주성분은 각각 육계나무 정유의 경우 cinnamyl acetate, eucalyptol, linalool, citral 온주밀감 정유의 경우 linalool이었다. 2종 정유에 공통적으로 항산화 및 항미생물 활성을 나타낸 분획부 성분분석 결과 linalool은 항산화, cinnamyl acetate, eucalyptol, citral, geranyl acetate은 항산화와 항미생물 능력이 있다고 사료된다.
