Abstract

Sterols were obtained from the non-saponifiable matters of ethereal and methanolic extracts of the root of Panax ginseng. The composition of sterols has been determined by gas chromatographic analysis. It was noted that campesterol, stigmastrol and ${\beta}-sitosterol$ were the major sterols in the ginseng. The results showed that contents of sterols were campesterol, $4.01{\sim}5.82%,\;stigmasterol,\;18.32{\sim}19.12%\;{\beta}-sitosterol,\;and\;75.11{\sim}77.74%$.
