Abstract
In order to provide data clarifying the contents of saccharides in ginseng, the assay of total saccharides, polysaccharide, reducing saccharide, uronic acid, and monosaccharide was performed. Ginsengs from various regions and different cultivated periods were taken as the test samples. The methods were established based on DNS (reduction method), spectrophotometry, and HPLC-DAD. The established methods were used to determinate the contents of total saccharide, reducing saccharide, polysaccharide, uronic acid, and monosaccharide in each ginseng sample. For the ginsengs in same area, the contents of polysaccharide in 5-year-old ginseng were higher than 4-year-old ginseng, the contents of reducing saccharide increased with the increasing cultivation period. It could be concluded that contents of saccharides were different in different ages of ginseng from various areas.
