도라지(Platycodon grandiflorum DC.)의 成分分析에 關한 硏究 = Studies on Component Analysis of Bell Flower Root(Platycodon grandiflorum DC.)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Bell flower root(Platycodon grandiflorum DC) collected from 8 different areas of Korea were analyzed for inorganic and proximate compositions including saponin content in the root. The results are summarized as follows.
Analysis on the inorganic compositions of root showed the highest amout P and Ca, the lowest Mg and Fe with the exception K. There were wide variations in the inorganic compositions of root collected from different sites. The amount of proximate compositions were in the order of soluble nitrogen, starch, crude ash. Saponin content in the root was different due to the collected areas and the highest amount was showed in the ones collected from Daejun, Gurae and Sunchon. The most prevalent ginsenoside fraction was Rb_2 followed by Rg_1 and Rc.
