- Abstract
- The commercial products of Panax ginseng have increasing market demand and high prices due to the pharmacological activities. To obtain high profits, P. ginseng may be adulterated with lower priced morphologically similar species such as Platycodon grandiflorum, Codonopsis lanceolata, and Pueraria lobata. This study was designed to validate accurate methods for the analysis of adulteration in P. ginseng products. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultraperformance liquid chromatography-diode array detector-electrospray ionization-ion trap-time of flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-ESI-IT-TOF-MS) were validated to analyze the raw plant materials, self-prepared formulations, and commercial products of P. ginseng, C. lanceolata, P. grandiflorum, and P. lobata. The developed analytical methods were confirmed by quality assurance parameters such as linearity, sensitivity, precision, and accuracy. Lobetyolin and ononin were identified as marker compounds by HPLC and confirmed by accurate mass measurement with ESI-IT-TOF-MS. HPLC analysis of self-prepared formulations indicated that by increasing the ratio of C. lanceolata, P. grandiflorum, and P. lobata in P. ginseng extracts, the peak area is increased at the same retention time. The limits of detection and quantification for lobetyolin and ononin were 0.098 and 0.171, and 0.108 and 0.726mg/kg, respectively. Furthermore, the intraday precision (<1.0%) measurements confirmed that the developed analytical methods fulfill the required criteria for characterization of these products. The results demonstrated that the developed liquid chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods accurately characterized adulteration in P. ginseng commercial products.
