Abstract

Free and esterified sterols in neutral lipid fractionated from the free lipid of Korean white ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) were analyzed by TLC and GLC to investigate the contents and composition ratios. Content of each sterol was as follows: ${\beta}$-sitosterol was about 51.60 mg%, stigmasterol, 8.93mg% and campesterol, 2.17mg%. Fine root tended to have slightly higher contents of sterols than main root. Linoleic and palmitic acid as the major fatty acids in esterified sterols occupied 70% of the total composition.
