TLC, DCC and HPLC were used to study the ginsenoside composition of the main root, lateral root, rhizome, leaves and seeds of Panax ginseng cultivated in Jilin, China. Each of these methods has advantages of its own and the ensemble reveal the special features of Jilin ginseng. Total saponin content of various plant parts in Jilin ginseng showed a mid-range value as compared to those in ginsengs reported in literature. Fresh as well as sun-dried specimens from the same batch possessed a high percentage of Rg1 in the main root and this might account for the traditional preference of this plant part despite its lowest percentage of saponin in the whole plant. Large amounts of polar saponins were also observed in roots and rhizome of fresh Jilin ginseng, the nature and significance of which remained to be investigated.
采用薄层色谱法（TLC）、衍生化反应色谱法（DCC）和高效液相色谱法（HPLC）对中国吉林种植的人参主根、侧根、根茎、叶和种子中的人参皂苷成分进行了研究。这些方法各有优点，综合起来揭示了吉林人参的特点。与文献报道的人参相比，吉林人参各部位的总皂苷含量处于中等水平。同一批次的鲜样和晒样主根中人参皂苷Rg1含量较高，这可能是该部位虽在全株中皂苷含量最低却仍受传统青睐的原因。新鲜吉林人参的根和根茎中还观察到大量极性皂苷，其性质和意义尚待研究。
