국문 초록 (Abstract)

고 기능성 유용 차나무 품종육성 및 녹차의 이용성 증진 연구의 기초 자료를 제공하기 위해 녹차 함유 catechin 화합물 및 caffeine 성분을 동시에 분석할 수 있고, 재현성 및 검출 감도가 증진된 최적의 HPLC 분석 조건을 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 녹차에 함유된 catechin 화합물 및 caffeine의 동시분석을 위한 최적 HPLC 분석 조건을 검토한 결과 컬럼은 YMC-pak ODS-AM 303(25 cm)컬럼을 이용하고, 검출파장은 280 nm, 컬럼온도를 30℃ , 분당유속은 1 mL, 이동상 용매로는 A용매로 0.1% 인산 - 증류수, B용매로 100% MeOH를 사용하여 농도구배 조건으로 분석하는 것이 가장 효율적 분석법으로 조사되었다. 2. 녹차에 함유된 catechin 화합물 및 caffeine을 동시에 분석할 수 있는 최적 HPLC분석조건의 재현성 검정을 실시한 결과 머무름 시간(Rt.)의 변이계수는 최대 1.23% 미만, peak area의 변이계수는 최대 5.13% 미만을 나타내어 확립된 녹차 함유 catechin 9종 화합물 및 caffeine의 HPLC 정량분석법은 재현성이 높은 분석법으로 확인되었고, 각 cafechin 화합물 및 caffeine 성분의 최소 검출한계는 최소 50ppb(0.050 ppm, 50 ng/mL)이하로 조사되어, 확립된 HPLC 분석법은 녹차의 작물학적 특성 평가용으로 활용하기에 전혀 무리가 없는 분석법으로 판단되었다.

The health benefits associated with tea consumption have resulted in the wide inclusion of green tea extracts in botanical dietary supplements, which are widely consumed as adjuvants for complementary and alternative medicines. Tea contains polyphenols such as catechins or flavan-3-ols including (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG), and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), as well as the alkaloid, caffeine. The contents of catechins and caffeine in green tea are considered as a standard of quality evaluation of green tea. Therefor, the purpose of this study was to investigate the most suitable HPLC condition for simultaneous determination of catechins and caffeine in green tea extracts. The efficient HPLC analytical condition of catechins and caffeine contained green tea extracts was developed. The gradient elution employed a 250~;mm~;~times~;4.6~;mm i.d. YMC-pak ODS-AM 303 column. The gradient system was used two mobile phases. A gradient elution was performed with mobile phase A, consisting of 0.1% aqueous phosphoric acid, and mobile phase B, comprising 100% MeOH, and delivered at a flow rate of 1 mL/min as follows: 0~25~;min , 80% A; 26~50~;min , 80~70% A; 51 min, 80% A. 51~55~;min , 80% A. The UV detection wavelength was set at 280 nm. The limit of detection (LOD) for catechins and caffeine standards were under 50 ng/mL.
