COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT GINSENG BERRY SPECIES BASED ON UPLC-QTOF/MS AND HR-MAS NMR METABOLITE PROFILES

摘要

Many studies have previously reported the pharmacological activities of ginsenosides from Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer. The interests in therapeutic potential of ginsenosides also have increased. Ginsenosides are distributed in several parts of P. ginseng, including not only root but also leaf and berry. Different parts of P. ginseng may contain distinct composition of ginsenosides and pharmacological activities [1]. Recent studies have indicated the utility of ginseng berry as a good ingredient for various ginsenosides [2,3]. Thus, in the herbal market and food industry, it is critical to evaluate and control the quality of ginseng berry. The profiling of ginsenosides and primary metabolites will be applicable for this purpose.
