Abstract
The discrimination of bracken (Korean vs. Chinese) has been attempted using capillary electrophoresis (CE). Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) was extracted with 30% methanol and separated on a uncoated fused-silica ($50{\mu}m{\times}27cm$) capillary. Conditions for optimal analysis include: temperature, $40^{\circ}C$; voltage, 8 kV; and pressure injection time, 5 sec. The optimal separation buffer was 0.3 M borate buffer (pH 8.5) containing 40 mM CHAPS with 30% ethylene glycol. Under the optimal conditions established for CE, the ratio of specific peak area (peak PA-1) to other peak area (peak PA-2) was effective in discrimination of Korean and Chinese bracken. The mean accuracy for discrimination of Korean and Chinese brackens were 80% and 86%, respectively.
