Powdered American Ginseng Extract



»Powdered American Ginseng Extract is prepared from the pulverized dried roots of Panax quinquefoliusL.(Fam.Araliaceae),using suitable solvents,and dried to a powder.It contains not less than 10.0percent of total ginsenosides,calculated on the anhydrous basis.The ratio of starting crude plant material to Powdered Extract is between 3:1and 7:1.


Packaging and storage¡ª Preserve in tight,light-resistant containers.

Labeling¡ª The label states the Latin binomial and,following the official name,the part of the plant from which the article was derived.Label it to indicate the content of total ginsenosides,the extracting solvent used for preparation,and the ratio of the starting crude plant material to the Powdered Extract.It meets the labeling requirements under Botanical Extracts ¨¢565ñ.


Identification¡ª
A: Thin-Layer Chromatographic Identification Test ¨¢201ñ¡ª
Test solution: 20mg per mL,in methanol.

Standard solution 1,Standard solution 2,Application volume,Developing solvent system 1,Developing solvent system 2,Spray reagent,and Procedure¡ª Proceed as directed for Identificationtest Aunder American Ginseng.

B: The retention times of the peaks for ginsenosides Rg1,Re,Rb1,Rb2,Rc,and Rd in the chromatogram of the Test solutioncorrespond to those in the chromatogram of Standard solution 1,as obtained in the test for Content of ginsenosides.The ratio of the peak response for Rb2to the peak response for Rb1is less than 0.4,and the ratio of the peak response for Rg1to the peak response for Rb1is less than 0.3.The chromatogram of the Test solutionshows no significant peak at the retention time corresponding to that for ginsenoside Rf in the chromatogram of Standard solution 2,as obtained in the test for Content of ginsenosides.
