Scutellariae radix has been used on the control of body fever as oriental medicine for thousand years. Analytical aspect for the main components of Scutellariae radix was set up improving sensitivity and resolution. The analysis of 3 different flavonoids present in Scutellariae radix-baicalin, baicalein, wogonin-was conducted by means of high performance liquid chromatography with ODS reverse phase column in conjunction with a Photo Diode Array UV detector(280nm) at $40^{\circ}C$. Mobile phase was carried out at 1mL/min, composed of acetonitrile and 0.1M phosphoric acid in the form of a gradient method. Under these circumstances the retention time for baicalin, baicalein, wogonin was 7.65, 11.65 and 14.12 minutes respectively. As a result for the efficiency on extraction of active ingredients with proposed analytical process according to it's growing districts, Sunchang in Junbuk for baicalin and Bulkyo in, Junnam for bicalein and wogonin have shown the best results. Even the extraction at room temperature was satisfactory. Among acids, 0.1M acetic acid revealed the best achievements. The mixture of acetonitrile and 0.2M phosphoric acid(75:25) has been shown the best efficiency as well as stability for the extraction of active ingredients.

Hwangryunhaedok-tang (HRT) is a traditional herbal medicine, which has been known as a useful prescription for anti-biotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and immunosuppressive activity. In this study, the variation in the amount of eight bioactive components of Hwangryunhaedok-tang (HRT) and its fermentation HRT with Lactobacillus casei KFRI 127, Lactobacillus curvatus KFRI 166 and Lactobacillus confuses KFRI 227 was investigated via high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). Simultaneous qualitative and quantitative analysis of eight bioactive components; geniposide, genipin, baicalin, wogonoside, palmatine, berberine, baicalein and wogonin was achieved by comparing their retention times ($t_R$) and UV spectra with those of the standard components. All calibration curve of standard components showed good linearity ($r^2$ >0.979). As a result, the geniposide amount was $15.52{\pm}0.19{\mu}/mg$ that as a main components in HRT. The wogonoside was decreased by 29.28~58.35% with Lactobacillus casei KFRI 127 and L. confuses KFRI 227 ($3.17{\pm}0.31{\mu}g/mg$ and $3.55{\pm}0.13{\mu}g/mg$) compared with the original HRT ($5.02{\pm}0.14{\mu}g/mg$). Otherwise wogonin was increased by 16.28~41.86% with Lactobacillus casei KFRI 127 and L. confuses KFRI 227 ($0.61{\pm}0.01{\mu}g/mg$ and $0.50{\pm}0.02{\mu}g/mg$) compared with the original HRT($0.43{\pm}0.00{\mu}g/mg$). HRT fermented with L. casei KFRI 127 and L. confuses KFRI 227 were evaluated as creating the changes in wogonoside to that aglycon wogonine. In the fermented HRT using Lactobacillus acidophilus KFRI 166, the genipin was only detected, among 3 species of fermentation strains. Thus, these results considered that the strains 166 were exhibited the remarkable changes in genipin.
