Research on the Quality Evaluation of Wild-simulated American Ginseng
Objective To study the quality of Wild-simulated American ginseng(WsAG)in Luquan County Yunnan Province,and provide data support for understory ginseng planting.Methods The appearance trait,thin-layer identification,moisture,alcohol-soluble extract,heavy metals,organochlorine pesticides,total saponin,and polysaccharides of WsAG were determined and analyzed,and the quality was evaluated by multiple indicators.Results The appearance trait,thin-layer identification,moisture,alcohol-soluble extract of WsAG all comply with the pharmacopoeia regulations;the content of heavy metals was far below the pharmacopoeia standard;none of the 22 common organochlorine pesticides were detected;the content of ginsenoside Rg1+Re+Rb1 was 2.14%~2.75%;the total saponin content was 4.40%~5.47%;the polysaccharide content was 3.43%~5.45%.Conclusion The quality of WsAG conforms to the provisions of the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia,and it is worth further promoting planting.
