건생강 제품의 진위판별을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 건조된 생강으로부터 휘발성 향기성분을 추출하여 향기특성을 분석하고, MDGC/MS에 의해 키랄성 휘발성분의 enantiomeric composition을 분석하였다. 건생강에서 총 57종을 동정하였으며 주요 휘발성 향기성분은 zingiberene, ${eta}-sesquiphellandrene$, ${eta}-bisabolene$, (E,E)-${alpha}-farnesene$ 및 ${alpha}-curcumene$이었다. 건생강에 함유된 키랄성 향기성분 중에서 enaniomeric composition을 측정하기 위해 선택된 키랄화합물 중 ${alpha}-pinene$ 및 nerolidol은 높은 enantiomeric purity(>96%)로 검출되었으며, ${eta}-pinene$은 (R)-enantiomer만이 검출되어 특이적이었다. ${alpha}-Terpineol$은 (R)-enantiomer가 72%로 높게 나타났으며 linalool과 4-terpineol은 두 이성질체가 혼합된 것으로 나타났다. Limonene의 enantiomeric excess(ee, %)는 17.2%로 (S)-enantiomer가 주요 이성질체이었다. 따라서 이러한 키랄성 향기성분의 enantiomeric composition은 건생강의 진위평가를 위한 변수로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
The volatile compounds of Zingiber officinale Roscoe were extracted by simultaneous steam distillation and extraction (SDE) method and identified with gas chromatigraphy/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) analysis. Enantiomeric compositions of chiral compounds were determined by multidimensional gas chromatography/mass spectrometer (MDGC/MS). A total of 57 compounds were indentified and quantified, including zingiberene, ${eta}-sesquiphellandrene$, ${eta}-bisabolene$, $(E,E)-{alpha}-farnesene$ and ${alpha}-curcumene$. Among them, zingiberene (38.41%) was founds as the predominantly abundant component. ${alpha}-Pinene$ and nerolidol in dried ginger were detected by high enantiomeric purity (>96%) for (S)-form, and ${eta}-pinene$ was detected only (R)-form. The enantiomeric composition of ${alpha}-terpineol$ revealed 72.0% for (R)-form, and linalool and 4-terpineol showed mixtures of both enantiomers. (S)-Enantiomer was the major enantiomer of limonene having enatiomeric excess of 17.2%. Hence the enantiomeric composition of these compounds can be used as parameter for authenticty control of Zingiber officinale.
