Abstract
Aiming to provide reference on illustrating the kinds and the contents of vitamins in ginseng, the analysis of vitamins was carried out. The dried ginseng was taken as test sample. The method for analysis was then established based on high-performance liquid chromatography combined with diode array detector (HPLC-PDA). The standard curves of ten vitamins were established with the correlation coefficients being all greater than 0.99. The established method was finally used to determine the contents of vitamins in each sample. Among all samples from various areas, both the 4-year-old ginseng from Heihe city and the 5-year-old ginseng from Korean were rich in vitamins. While the 4-year-old ginseng obtained from Fusong County had the lowest content of vitamins. Among the detected vitamins, the contents of vitamin B1, calcium pantothenate, biotin, and vitamin C were relatively high in all samples. In general, the distribution of ten vitamins in 45 samples was different but lacks regularity.
