Modern approaches for identification and determination of ginsenosides

Abstract

Ginsenosides are the main bioactive compounds of the plants of Panax genus. Ginseng and its analogies are often use in the production of traditional medicine in China, Korea, Japan, USA and Russian Far East. For more than 40 years researchers have been developing methods of identification and determination of ginsenosides in plant materials, extracts and commercial products. For the purification of ginsenosides from plant materials different extraction techniques were used. Separation of ginsenosides has been achieved using gas chromatography, thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). From the list of approaches HPLC prevailed. Spectophotometric, fluorescence, and, recently, evaporative light scattering and mass-spectrometric detection were coupled with HPLC for the detection of ginsenosides. The most recent methods are here discussed together with a critical evaluation of the published results.
Key words: ginsenosides, Panax ginseng, HPLC, bioactive compounds.
