The location of the ginsenosides, active principle of Panax ginseng root, was determined histochemically. Ginsenosides were found localized outside of the root cambium, particularly in the periderm and outer cortex outside of the phloem. From this result the quality, as affected by the processing method of commercial ginseng, was discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
