Abstract

Ginsenoside composition and contents of Korean white and taegeuk ginsengs were investigated to establish Chinese pharmaceutical standards for import of Korean ginseng. Total ginsenoside-Rg1, Re, and Rb1 of all Korean white and taegeuk ginseng samples were higher than guideline of Chinese standard of 0.4%, $Mean{\pm}S.D.$ values of Rg1, Re, and Rb1 of Korean white ginseng were $232.7{\pm}110.2,\;235.3{\pm}101.5,\;and\;280.1{\pm}121.3\;mg%$, respectively. Ratio of Rg1 to Re of Korean white ginseng was 1.02. $Mean{\pm}S.D.$ values of Rg1, Re, and Rb1 of Korean taeguek ginseng were $262.1{\pm}127.2,\;213.1{\pm}55.7,\;and\;279.9{\pm}92.1\;mg%$, respectively.

고려인삼의 수출확대를 위해서 백삼 및 태극삼의 사포닌(saponin) 함량에 대한 중국 고려인삼 수입의약품 둥록기준 설정의 기초 자료를 얻고자 조사하였다. 백삼 50구의 크기에 따른 초특대편, 특대편, 대편, 중편 및 소편의 ginsenoside-Rg1, -Re 및 -Rb1의 평균 함량은 각각 664.7, 796.9, 674.7, 839.0 및 646.6 mg%이었으며, Rg1/Re의 비율은 각각 1.0, 1.2, 0.8, 1.0 및 1.0의 분포였다. 태극삼 13구의 ginsenoside-Rg1, -Re및 -Rb1의 평균 함량은 755.1 mg%, Rg1/Re의 비율은 1.28이었다. 그리고 백삼 50구의 Rg1 평균값은 $232.7{\pm}110.2 mg%$, Re평균값은 $235.3{\pm}101.5 mg%$, Rb1 평균값은 $280.1{\pm}121.3 mg%$으로 이들의 합은 $748.2{\pm}299.4 mg%$이었으며, Rg1/Re의 비율은 1.02이었다. 또한 태극삼 13구의 사포닌 성분의 분석결과, Rg1 평균값은 $262.1{\pm}127.2 mg%$, Re 평균값은 $213.1{\pm}55.7 mg%$, Rb1 평균값은 $279.9{\pm}92.1 mg%$으로 이들의 합은 $755.1{\pm}233.6 mg%$이었다. 백삼과 태극삼의 사포닌 조성 및 함량은 중국수입의약품 등록기준인 ginsenoside-Rg1, -Re 및 -Rb1 값의 합이 0.4% 이상이라는 기준규격에 적합하였고, HPLC-ELSD로 분석시 인삼의 분석방법별 기준인 ginsenoside -Rg1과 -Re의 함량비($Rg1/Re{\Leq}3.87$)에 부합되었다.
