“…The phytochemical advances in the Panax genus, aside from the saponins and polysaccharides, also include the following components: (1) a new phenolic glucoside, isoconiferoside, from the seeds of P. ginseng; 171 (2) a new aliphatic alcoholic acid, 14a,15a,16a,17a,18a,19a,20a,21a-octahydroxy-16,17,18- [178][179][180][181][182][183] One merit for the off-line 2D-LC is the exible conguration of two columns with different mechanisms of separation, to pursue the highest orthogonality, but without the consideration of solvent incompatibility in combining hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) and reversed-phase chromatography (RPC), which is particularly suitable for the in-depth proling and characterization of ginsenosides from different ginseng species. The integration of XAmide/BEH C18, 48 XBridge Amide/ BEH C18, 100 and XBridge Amide/BEH Shield RP18, 177 could achieve the orthogonality of 0.81, 0.79, and 0.69, respectively, while the theoretical peak capacity (the product of the peak capacity in each dimension) reached 10 200, 11 000, and 8925, respectively.…”
