Comparison of Ginsenoside Content According to Age and Diameter in Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer Cultivated by Direct Seeding

Abstract

: This study was carried out to investigate ginsenoside content in different root parts and the correlation between root diameter and ginsenoside composition of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer cultivated by direct seeding. The unit contents of ginsenoside were 29. 65, 28.76, 26.34 ㎎/g, respectively in 4, 5, 6 years old. However, the total contents of ginsenoside were 431.97, 606.56, 657.80 ㎎/root, respectively. Total ginsenoside content of fine root was higher than that of main root and lateral root. These tendencies were related to decrease by the increase of root diameter. When diameter of main root and lateral root were the same in different ages, the total ginsenoside content was higher in the order of 4 > 5 > 6 years old roots. Except for ginsenoside-Rg1, other ginsenosides components (PD/PT and total ginsenosides) had highly negative correlation with the root diameter within whole root, main root, lateral root and fine root, which indicated that ginsenoside content is correlated to root diameter. As results, it is suggested that ginsenoside content can be predicted.

Marker compound contents and antioxidant capacities of the taproot and lateral root of Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhizaRadix)

“…On the other hand, tanshinones including cryptotanshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA were closely clustered at the bottom of the graph [23]. The results are similar to those of another study, which found that the contents of ginsenosides are different depending on the morphological characteristics the taproot and lateral root of ginseng [26]. Therefore, the taproot of Danshen is closely correlated to the component of salvianolic acids, and the lateral root of Danshen is closely correlated to the component of tanshinones.…”

Comparative study on anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties of hydroponic ginseng and soil-cultured ginseng

“…Normally, the total content of ginsenosides content increases with plant age, however, this tends to correlate with the diameter of ginseng roots. According to a study of Han et al, (2013), as the root thickens by their ages, the xylem/cortical layer thickness ratio increases, and thus the root diameter is negatively correlated with its ginsenoside content. On the other hand, although undetected in the present study, Lee et al (2017) identified ginsenoside Rh23 in HPG leaves and investigated its inhibitory effect on melanogenesis in zebrafish in vivo.…”

Change of Neutral Ginsenoside Contents in Red and Fresh Ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) by Hydrolysis

“…인삼은 재배환경 (Lee et al, 2011, 연근 (Han et al, 2013), 품종 (Kwon et al, 1991)에 따라 뿌리의 형태적 특성이 달라지고, ginsenoside 함량도 차이를 나타낸다 (Ahn et al, 2008). 또한, M-G 함량도 재배환경과 (Wills and Stuart, 2001), 연근 (Court et al, 1996b), 뿌리 직경 (Christensen et al, 2006) (Fig.…”
