Analysis of ginsenosides in Panax ginseng in high pressure microwave-assisted extraction

Abstract

High pressure microwave assisted extraction (HPMAE) was applied to extract the ginsenosides from Panax ginseng root. The influences of extraction solvent, extraction pressure and extraction time were individually investigated. HPMAE has been compared with other extraction methods, including Soxhlet extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction and heat reflux extraction. The determination of ginsenosides was performed by HPLC-ESI-MS. The results indicated that the HPMAE not only took a shorter time but also afforded higher extraction yields of ginsenosides, especially ginsenoside Rb1, Rc, Rb2 and Rd. Furthermore, the neutral ginsenosides and malonyl ginsenosides in Panax ginseng root extracts by HPMAE were investigated. The malonyl ginsenoside m-Rb1, m-Rc, m-Rb2 and m-Rd degraded in HPMAE at 400kPa (109-112°C) in 70%(v/v) ethanol-water and at 600kPa (112-115°C) in methanol, and transformed into corresponding neutral ginsenoside Rb1, Rc, Rb2 and Rd. Using water as extraction solution, the neutral ginsenosides degraded under HPMAE at 400kPa (135-140°C), and transformed into less polarity rare ginsenosides.

Optimization of microwave-assisted extraction of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) seed oil and evaluation of its physicochemical and bioactive properties

“…Similar to this result, Wang et al (35) also found that the increase in the extraction yield was very small as a function of time in microwave extraction. The reason for the insignifi cant increase could be explained by the fact that MASE of diff erent compounds is usually completed within a few minutes to half an hour, depending on the extracted material as mentioned in literature (33,(36)(37)(38).…”

Physical and Biological Modification of Polycaprolactone Electrospun Nanofiber by Panax Ginseng Extract for Bone Tissue Engineering Application

“…34 Ginsenoside was extracted from Panax Ginseng C.A Meyer root (collected from Medicinal Plants and Drugs Research Institute, Shahid Beheshti University, Iran) using the Soxhlet method. 14 Briefly, 1.000 g powder of the clean root (weighted in a cellulose cartridge) was extracted in Soxhlet with 95 ml of dichloromethane for a 60 min boiling, 15 min rinsing and 45 min drying periods.…”
