The present study was conducted to investigate the ginsenoside profiles of the main root, root hair, and leaf of ginseng in order to demonstrate their possible application in medicine. The total ginsenoside content of the leaf was up to 12 times than that in the main root, and the content of protopanaxadiol groups was higher than that of protopanaxatriol groups in all the samples. The leaf was shown to contain high amounts of ginsenosides Rb3 and Rh1, whereas the main root contained large amounts of ginsenosides Rb1 and Rc. Moreover, Rb2, Rb3, and Rg1 were only detected in the root hair, leaf, and main root, respectively. The ginsenoside Re content of leaf and root hair was 2.6~4 times higher than that of the main root. Therefore, the results indicate that the ginsenoside content of is higher in the leaf and root hair, and lower in the main root.
本研究旨在调查人参主根、根须和叶片中的人参皂苷谱，以证明其在医学上的潜在应用。叶片中的总人参皂苷含量比主根中的高出12倍，并且在所有样品中，原人参二醇组的含量高于原人参三醇组。结果表明，叶片中含有大量的人参皂苷Rb3和Rh1，而主根中含有大量的人参皂苷Rb1和Rc。此外，Rb2、Rb3和Rg1分别仅在根须、叶片和主根中检测到。叶片和根须中的人参皂苷Re含量比主根中的高2.6至4倍。因此，结果表明，人参皂苷含量在叶片和根须中较高，而在主根中较低。
