역상 HPLC 에 의한 화장품에 사용하는 수용성 고분자인 Xanthan gum의 간편하고 정확한 정량분석 방법을 개발하였다. 분석조건은 C18분리관과 ELSD 검출기를 사용하였으며, 25mM ammonium acetate/acetonitrile의 기울기 용리에 의해 분리 되었다. 이때 검량선의 상관계수(correlation coefficient) r²=0.9993, 정량범위 50.3~604.1 ㎍/㎖, 검출한계 12.0 ㎍/㎖및 정확성이 우수하였다. 이 방법은 화장품 중 Xanthan gum를 정확하고 간편하게 정량분석 가능함을 보여 주었다

Every yaar approximately 12,000 people die from severe burns and thermal injury. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. The major lethal problems are massive fluid losses and microbial infections. Xanthan gum and algin are known as natural polymers. we prepared the official burn ointment which were made by xanthan gum and algin. This burn ointment was covered on the skin wound of artificial burned and their effect of healing were investigated by the evaluation of histological and hematological change as a function of time. The result of rats test showed that burn ointments made from xanthan gum and algin were more effective in formation of the new tissue and reduction of inflammation than the controls. From the results obtained in this study, natural polymer ointment which were prepared from xanthan gum and algin were found to satisfy most of the existing ointment substitute.
