창포의 뿌리를 주근(main root)과 측근(lateral root)으로 분리하여 3 열풍건조분말의 주된 포화지방산으로는 caprylic acid, pentadecanoic acid, stearic acid 및 heneicosanoic acid 등 10종이 확인되었고, 이들은 각각 주근과 측근의 경우 caprylic acid가 28.35%, 31.44%이었고, 불포화지방산으로는 linoleic acid, palmitoleic acid 및 lin

This study has been carried out to investigate the composition of fatty Acids, organic acids, minerals, vitamin C, total phenolics and saponin in 30 hot air dried powder of main and lateral root of Acorus calamus L. Major saturated fatty acids were identified caprylic acid, pentadecanoic acid, stearic acid and heneicosanoic acid, etc.. Content of caprylic acid in main and lateral root were 28.35% and 31.44%. Unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, palmitoeic acid and linoleic acid was highly contented, linoleic acid was highest contented 25.55% in main root and 23.43% in lateral root. Succinic acid was the most abundant organic acid of root content of main and lateral root were 2,790 mg% and 2,630 mg%. Potassium was found to be the mon predominant mineral in root, followed by calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, in a order. Contents of potassium in main and lateral root account for 194 mg% and 454 mg%, respectively. Contents of these minerals in lateral root were higher value than that in main root. Contents of ascorbic acid and total phenolics were 113.8 /g and 463 mg％ in main root, 125.1 /g and 474 mg% in lateral root, respectively. Crude saponin content of main and lateral mot were high level amount, 2.51 ％ and 3.39 %.
