Antimicrobial Activities of Korean Sword Bean (Canavalia gladiata) Extracts

한국산 작두콩 추출물의 항균활성

The antimicrobial activities of three parts of Korean sword bean , such as whole seed, dotyledon and hull were investigated . Yields were higher hull other parts in water and methanol extract. Methanol extract in seed parts was fractionated with different solvents, such as hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water, yields of water fractino showed 3.3% , 2.5% and 0.3% in whole seed, 채쇼ledon and hull, respectively. In solvent extracts using methanol, hexane, chloroform, and water , methanol extract showed the most effective antimicrobial activities. Antimicrobial activities of ethyl acetate fraction of methanol extractwas higher than those of other fractions.

한국산 작두콩을 종자, 자엽 및 껍질로 구분하여 항균활성성을 조사하였다. 용매별 추출수율은 껍질이 다른 부위에 비해 물과 메탄올 추출물에서 높게 나타났으며, 메탄올 추출물의 계통분획별 추출수율은 물 분획 층에서 종자 3.3%, 자엽 2.5%, 껍질 0.3%로 높게 나타났다. 작두콩의 부위별 추출물의 항균활성은 용매별 추출물에서는 메탄올 추출물이 높게 나타났으며, 계통 분획 추출물에서는 에칠 아세테이트 분획층에서 종자, 자엽, 껍질 모두 항균활성이 높게 나타났다.
