Abstract

Indeciduous Quercus species have been used in Korean folk medicine, having effects on various diseases such as dysentery, diarrhea, hemorrhagia and dermatitis. In this study, five Quercus species were used for determination of phenolic compounds. In particular, phenolic compounds content in Quercus salicina Blume was compared between its leaf and shoot. Results indicated that the concentration of phenolic compounds in the leaf (25702.13 µg g-1) was higher than in the shoot (16461.82 µg g-1). Among the five Quercus species, the average concentration of phenolic compounds in their leaves ranged from 900.91 to 25702.13 µg g-1 , with the Q. salicina Blume leaf showing the highest concentration of total phenolic compounds. Quercus species have long been medicinally important, but there have been no previous reports about their functional ingredients.
