근적외선분광분석기를 이용한 황금(Scutellaria baicalensis)의 baicalin 및 baicalein 함량 분석

Determination of Baicalin and Baicalein Contents in Scutellaria baicalensis by NIRS

황금에 함유된 baicalin, baicalein 및 wogonin 함량을 근적외선분광분석기(NIRS)로 비파괴적으로 신속하게 할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 황금 유전자원 63종을 대상으로 NIRS로 400∼2,500 ㎚ 파장범위를 scan한 후 물리적 영향에 의한 바탕선 변화 등의 오차를 줄이고 겹쳐있는 파장을 분리하기 위하여 미분법 등을 이용한 수처리를 하였다. 수처리 후 몇 가지 회귀분석법을 이용하여 검량식을 작성한 결과 MPLS 회귀법이 황금의 유용성분을 분석하기에 적당하였으며, MPLS 회귀분석법에 의한 검량식의 baicalin, baicalein, wogonin 함량은 HPLC로 분석된황금의 성분함량과의 상관값에서 각각 0.958, 0.944, 0.709로나타났다. 이렇게 작성된 검량식을 이용하여 validation set에서 상관관계를 분석한 바 baicalin 함량은 0.853, baicalein은0.895의 상관치를 보여 황금의 baicalin 및 baicalein 함량은NIRS로 분석이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 한편, wogonin 함량에 대한 validation set의 결과는 0.489로 나타나 NIRS 검량식을 wogonin의 정량분석에 바로 이용하기에는 부적당하였다.

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid and accurate analytical method for determining the composition of agricultural products and feeds. This study was conducted to measure baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin contents in Scutellaria baicalensis by using NIRS system. Total 63 samples previously were analyzed by HPLC, which showed baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin contents ranging 4.56 to 13.59%, 0.28 to 5.54%, and 0.50 to 1.63% with an average of 9.66%, 2.09% and 0.52%, respectively. Each sample was scanned by NIRS and calculated for calibration and validation equation. A calibration equation calculated by modified partial least squares(MPLS) regression technique was developed in which the coefficient of determination for baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin content was 0.958, 0.944, and 0.709, respectively. Each calibration equation was applied to validation set that was performed with the remaining samples not included in the calibration set, which showed high positive correlation both in baicalin and baicalein content file. In case of wogonin, the prediction model was needed more accuracy because of low R 2 value in validation set. These results demonstrate that the developed NIRS equation can be practically used as a rapid screening method for quantification of baicalin and baicalein contents in Scutellaria baicalensis.3
