생약초 중에서 천궁, 당귀, 갈근, 갈화, 감초를 이용하여 침출주를 제조하여 그 품질특성을 확인하고 그 기능성을 검토하고자 total phenolic compound함량, 항산화활성, 아질산염 소거능 및 angiotensin converting enzymne(ACE) 저해효과를 조사하였다. 생약초 침출주는 pH는 의 약산성의 경향을 나타냈으며 환원당 함량은 의 범위를, 알코올 함량은 최초 침출할 때 보다 가 감소하였다. Total phenoli
This study was to investigate the content of total phenolic compounds, electron donating ability, nitrate-scavenging effect, and angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibition effect of medicinal plant liquors prepared from Cnidium officinale, Angelica gigas, Pueraria thunbergiana(root), Pueraria thunbergiana (flower), and Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Physicochemical characteristics of the medicinal plant liquors are as follows: pH ; reducing sugar, . The highest value of total phenolic compounds was found in liquor prepared with Pueraria thunbergiana(root) as . The electron donating ability of liquor prepared with Pueraria thunbergiana showed the highest value() among the liquors, and its nitrite scavenging ability() showed the highest value than those of other medicianal plant liquors. ACE inhibitory activity showed the highest value in liquor prepared with Cnidium officinale.
