Panax ginseng의 과피(果皮) anthocyanins 색소(色素)를 1% HCl/propanol로 추출하여 thin layer chromatography로 분리하였으며 이를 다시 paper chromatography로 검정하였다. 침건반응, spectral analysis 등의 방법으로 주색소(主色素)가 pelragonidin-3-monoglucoside임을 확인하였다. Panax quinquefolius의 색소도 같은 방법으로 동정하였으며 주색소(主色素)가 pelragonidin-3-monogluside임이 확인되었으며 Panax ginseng에 있는 5색소 Band중에서 제2색소(第二色素)(Band 4)가 결여되어 있었다.
The anthocyanin pigments in the fruit skin of Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolius were extracted with 1% HCl/propanol. The pigments were purified by preparative thin layer and paper chromatography. The major bands in the 2 varieties were identified as pelragonidin-3-monoglucoside by chromatographic, spectrophotometric and high performance liquid chromatographic methods. The possibility of the anthocyanin acylation was not studied in this report. One of minor red band found in the Panax ginseng (not identified) was missing in the Panax quinquefolius.
