본 연구에서는 생강의 유효성분을 비교분석하기 위하여 한국재래종생강과 조직배양생강의 일반성분, 무기성분, 유리당, 지방산, 휘발성 성분, 그리고 6-gingerol과 6-shogaol 등을 분석하여 평가하였다. 일반성분(조회분, 조지방, 조단백질, 탄수화물)함량은 한국재래종 생강이 조직배양생강보다 다소 높게 나타났다. 무기성분(Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) 함량은 조직배양생강이 한국재래종 생강보다 높게 나타났다. 무기성분 중에서 가장 많은 것이 K이었으며, P와 Mg, Na, Ca 순으로 많았다. 유리당(fructose, glucose, sucrose)은 조직배양생강이 한국재래종 생강보다 높게 나타났다. 생강은 C14 미만의 지방산이 주요 지방산이었다. Citral 성분은 한국재래종 생강이 조직배양생강 보다 생강의 고유향이 더 강하게 나타났으며, gingerol 함량은 경정배양에 의하여 증가하였다.
This study was carried out to compare and analyze the active ingredients of Korean native ginger and rhizome derived from in vitro shoot-tip culture of Korean native ginger. Proximate compositions, mineral nutrients, free sugars, fatty acids, volatile components, 6-gingerol, and 6-shogaol were analysed and evaluated. Korean native ginger was proved to have a little more contents than in vitro rhizome in proximate compositions (crude ash, crude lipid, crude protein, carbohydrate). Mineral nutrient contents (Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) of in vitro rhizome were higher than those of Korean native ginger. Among the mineral nutrients, the quantity of K was the highest, followed by P, Mg, Na, and Ca. Free sugar contents (fructose, glucose, sucrose) of in vitro rhizome were higher than those of Korean native ginger. Fatty acids containing less than C14 was the major among the fatty acids in ginger. Citral ingredient of the unique aromatic compound of Korean native ginger was stronger than that of the rhizome derived from in vitro shoot-tip culture. Gingerol concentration was increased by shoot-tip culture.
