AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the phenolic, flavonoid, and vitamin content in ginseng's main root, root hair, and leaf.
- The leaf had the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents, with different major compounds identified in each part: ferulic and -coumaric acids in the main root and root hair, and catechin and kaempferol in the leaf.
- Pantothenic acid was most abundant in the non-leaf parts, with linolenic acid and menadione present in all ginseng parts.
Article Abstract
This study investigated the phenolic, flavonoid, and vitamin constituents in the main root, root hair, and leaf of ginseng. The total individual phenolic and flavonoid contents were the highest in the leaf, followed by the main root and root hair. Ferulic acid and -coumaric acid were found to be the major phenolics in the main root and root hair, while -coumaric acid and -coumaric acid were the major phenolics in the leaf. Catechin was the major flavonoid component in the main root and root hair, while catechin and kaempferol were the major flavonoid components in the leaf. Pantothenic acid was detected in the highest quantity in the non-leaf parts of ginseng, followed by thiamine and cobalamin. Linolenic acid and menadione were the major components in all parts of ginseng.
