Abstract

The quality of dried ginseng products (white ginseng, red ginseng, and taeguk ginseng) was investigated according to the National Standards. All the dried ginseng products met the general quality standard established: moisture content of 14.0% or less, ash content of 5.0% or less, and water-saturated n-butanol extracts of 2.0% or more. Ginsenoside $Rb_1$, Rf, and $Rg_1$, the effective components of Korean ginseng were detected by HPLC analysis. However, uniformity of individual products within a package was not kept for almost all of the products except for red ginseng products.

시중에서 유통되고 있는 건조인삼제품인 백삼, 홍삼, 태극삼의 품질을 인삼산업법과 한국산업규격 등 국내 규격과 관련하여 조사하였다. 모든 제품이 일반품질기준인 수분함량 14.0% 이하, 회분함량 5.0% 이하, 물포화 n-부탄올 추출물함량 2.0% 이상에 적합하였다. 고려인삼의 유효성분인 진세노사이드 $Rb_1$, Rf, $Rg_1$도 HPLC 분석결과 관찰되었다. 그러나 홍삼제품을 제외하고는 단위포장내 개체중량의 균일성이 거의 지켜지지 않고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
