Objective:To compare the composition differences of Chinese Shizhu panax,ginseng under forest and traditional ginseng.Methods:The ginsenoside Re,ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Rb1 were tested by HPLC;the total saponins of panax ginseng were tested by Visible-UV Spectrophotometry.Results:The content of the total saponins of panax ginseng of Chinese Shizhu panax and ginseng under forest is nearly the same.The content of the total saponins of panax ginseng in Chinese Shizhu panax is higher than that in Fu song ginseng and Jian bian tiao ginseng.The ginsenoside Re,ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Rb1 content of Chinese Shizhu panax was higher than that in ginseng under forest,Fu song ginseng and Jian bian tiao ginseng.Conclusion:Chinese Shizhu panax contains higher ginsenoside,providing the theoretical basis for the evaluation of the inner quality.
