This invention belongs to the field of thin-layer
chromatography (TLC)
identification technology for
traditional Chinese medicine, and specifically relates to a rapid TLC identification method and application for
American ginseng and
ginseng. The TLC identification method includes the following steps: taking a
test sample, adding a
solvent, sonicating, and taking the supernatant as the
test solution; taking
American ginseng and
ginseng reference materials, adding solvents respectively, sonicating, and taking the supernatant as
American ginseng reference material solutions and
ginseng reference material solutions; taking
ginsenoside Rg1,
ginsenoside Rf,
ginsenoside Re,
ginsenoside Rd, and pseudoginsenoside F11
reference standards, adding solvents, mixing, and obtaining reference solution; finally, performing TLC analysis and result determination on the
test solution, reference material solution, and reference solution. This invention is simple to operate, highly efficient and rapid, has good
repeatability and high accuracy, and is low in
toxicity and durable, and can simultaneously detect adulteration, substitution, and
confusion in American ginseng and ginseng.
