Recent methodology in the phytochemical analysis of ginseng

Phytochem Anal. 2008 Jan-Feb;19(1):2-16. doi: 10.1002/pca.1049.

Abstract

This review summarises the most recent developments in ginseng analysis, in particular the novel approaches in sample pre-treatment and the use of high-performance liquid-chromatography-mass spectrometry. The review also presents novel data on analysing ginseng extracts by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry (Fourier transform mass spectrometry) in the context of metabolomics.
