Fig. 1. HPLC chromatograms for (A) mixed standard ginsenosides, (B) non-steamed ginseng berry extract, and (C) steamed ginseng berry extract.
Each ginsenoside was analyzed using an HPLC system fitted with a C-18 column utilizing a solvent gradient system. The ginsenosides were identified by comparing the retention times with standard ginsenosides. Peaks: 1. Re; 2. Rb1; 3. Rc; 4. 20(S)-Rg2; 5. 20(S)-Rh1; 6. 20(R)-Rg2; 7. Rb2; 8. 20(R)-Rh1; 9. Rd; 10. Rg6; 11. Rg4; 12. Rh4; 13. 20(S)-Rg3; 14. 20(R)-Rg3; 15. Rk1; 16. Rg5.
