Abstract

Abstract: HPLC and headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) were used to investigate the content of saponins and volatile components in Chinese Shizhu Panax of different growth years. 82 components were isolated from Chinese Shizhu Panax, 69 components of them were successfully identified. They mainly contained monoterpenes, alkanes and sesquiterpenoids, of which sesquiterpenoids were the main components. The results indicated that the content of saponins in Chinese Shizhu Panax of different growth years was dissimilar and diverse. The content of total saponins can be enriched when properly prolonging the growth years of Chinese Shizhu Panax. However, the content of ginsenosides can reach the level in the fifth year according to Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The volatile components in Chinese Shizhu Panax of different growth years also differ in content, type and proportion of compounds to a certain degree.

Key words: Chinese Shizhu Panax, saponin, spectrophotometry, HS-GC-MS, Volatile constituents
