This study was investigated to determine the quality control of Oriental medicine from stores dealing in Oriental medicine around Seoul and Daegu. We tested total 120 samples that widely used 15 species in herbal medicine (Lycii Fructus, Platycodi Radix, Angelicae Gigantis Radix and 12 others) being collected from Oriental medicine clinic, pharmacy, Oriental pharmacy, Oriental medical hospital and Oriental drug store. We have estimated Oriental medicine by K.P. (Korean Pharmacopoeia), K.H.P(Korean Herbal Pharmacopoeia) and announcement of KFDA. The items of examination were identification, purity, loss on drying, ash, acid insoluble ash, extract content, essential oil content, assay, heavy metal limit, and pesticides residue(BHC, DDT, Aldrin, Endrin, Dieldrin). As a result, 20 samples in total 120 samples were not satisfied with the standard and 7 species in total 15 species were not satisfied with the standard. Identification test, extract content test and pesticides residue(BHC, DDT, Aldrin, Endrin, Dieldrin) were satisfied with the standard. The result will be the basic data for the quality control of Oriental medicine.
