Abstract

Antioxidant activity of gingerol, a component of ginger, was studied in ${\beta}-carotene-linoleic$ acid-water emulsion system. Crude gingerol extracted from ginger was separated and purified by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) into two bands. The two bands were identified as 6- and 10-gingerol by color reactions on TLC plate, acid dehydration reaction, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. The antioxidant activity of gingerols (mixture of 6- and 10-gingerol) separated from ginger was remarkable, but lower than that of BHA or BHT.

생강으로부터 분리한 gingerol의 산화방지 효과에 대하여 시험하였다. 생강의 에탄올 추출물로부터 핵산-에테르 혼합용매를 이용하여 crude gingerol을 얻어 TLC에 의하여 gingerol을 분리.정제하였다. 분리한 gingerol은 발색반응, 산탈수반응, UV, IR 및 NMR 스펙트로메트리등을 거처 6- 및 10-gingerol임을 동정하였다. Gingerol은 리노레산-${\beta}$-카로틴-물의 메멀죤에 0.02%(w/v)농도로 첨가되었을 때 대조구에서보다 ${\beta}$-카로틴을 크게 안정화시켰다. 그러나 BHA 및 BHT보다는 그 효과가 약간 낮았다.
