본 연구는 질경이의 기능성식품 및 화장품 소재로서의 이용가능성을 조사하기 위해 질경이의 영양성분 분석을 통한 식품영양학적 접근, 생리활성 기능을 기대할 수 있는 관련 물질 함량의 분석하였다. 식품영양학적 접근에서의 질경이의 일반성분은 건량기준으로 탄수화물 63.71%, 조단백질 18.75%, 조지방 1.67% 및 조회분 6.48%이었고, 질경이 100 g의 함유 열량은 466.71 Kcal로 분석되었으며, 총 식이섬유소 함량은 건량기준으로 22.

The purpose of this study is to determine the possibility of using Plantago asiatica as natural health food source. To accomplish this purpose. the contents of proximate and anti oxidative nutrients of P. asiatica were measured. The contents of carbohydrate. crude protein. crude fat and crude ash are 63.71%, 18.75%, 1.67% and 6.48%, respectively And the calories and total dietary fiber of P. asiatica was 466.71 Kcal. Total dietary fiber was 22.68%, respectively. The contents of essential and non-essential amino acids were 4.815.22 mg and 6.591.04 mg, respectively. The K was the largest mineral followed by P, Ca, Mg, and Na, which means P. asiatica is alkali material. The EDA of P. asiatica was 59.32~70.30%, and the activity was dependent on the sample concentration. Total phenolic content of P. asiatica was , and total flavonoids content was . The P. asiatica extract showed the highest reducing power (3.5) at a concentration of 25 mg/mL. Based on the above results, we deemed that the P. asiatica might have potential antioxidant activities. The general nutrients and other antioxidant bioactive materials in P. asiatica were also potential materials for good health food.
