Abstract
Red ginseng is a widely used dietary supplement and medicinal herb, and there are so many forms of ginseng products including tea, extract, capsule and jelly. The purpose of the present study was to propose some amendments on ginsenoside content of red ginseng products in Korea. For this purpose, we analyzed red ginseng products for simultaneous determination of 26 ginsenosides by ultra performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector. Some developmental aspects of Korea's ginsenoside content standard regulations for red ginseng products are needed to be examined as follows : Firstly, we proposed that four ginsenosides (<TEX>$Rb_1$</TEX>, <TEX>$Rg_1$</TEX>, Rf and <TEX>$Rg_3$</TEX>) would be detected in red ginseng products. Secondly, in case of red ginseng extracts, the sum of <TEX>$Rb_1$</TEX>, <TEX>$Rg_1$</TEX> and <TEX>$Rg_3$</TEX> would be 4.0 mg/g. The two proposals are helpful to comprehensive evaluation of quality of red ginseng products. In conclusion, the scientific studies on amendment scheme of ginsenoside content standard regulation of red ginseng product are very important to fortify quality control.
