ANGELICA C화학적 특성, 용도, 생산
화학적 성질
Angelica is an herbaceous plant, about 1.5 m high, cultivated in Europe, especially France, Belgium and Germany.
The plant is characterized by spindle-shaped, fleshy roots, an erect stalk, alternate leaves and greenish-yellow flowers with an
inferior ovary; the seeds are oblong with an off-white color. The plant blooms from June to August. The parts of the angelica
used are the roots, seeds and stems. The active principles of angelica are coumarin and furocoumarin. The plant (including
roots and seeds) contains several furocoumarins including angelicin, bergapten and xanthotoxin, as well as umbelliprenin and
various phenols. One of the main constituents is β-phellandrene.
Angelica may be cultivated as a fresh vegetable, or cooked and prepared like rhubarb. The dried roots and the corresponding
derivatives find extensive use in the formulation of liqueurs. Roots are often employed in the flavoring of vermouths and bitters.
The roots are sometimes employed with juniper berries to make gin. Angelica oil or extract contains 5-methoxypsoralen and
8-methoxypsoralen and, therefore, may evoke photodermatitis. Recurrent vesicular dermatitis has been reported among confectioners gathering angelica.
