In vitro antioxidant potential of 30% (v/v) ethanolic extracts from Panax ginseng and Panax notoginseng roots was investigated. The polyphenol contents of Panax ginseng and Panax notoginseng extracts were 10.3±0.3 and 10.4±0.4 mg/g-extract, respectively. The extracts of Panax ginseng and Panax notoginseng possessed an antioxidant potential in a concentration-dependent manner. EC₅₀ values of Panax ginseng and Panax notoginseng extracts for cation radical, reducing power, and nitrite were 4.76±0.12 and 6.24±0.14 mg/mL, 1.99±0.01 and 3.13±0.05 mg/mL, and 4.78±0.31 and 3.52±0.10 mg/mL, respectively.

This study was performed to analyze aroma pattern of Panax species (Korean Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, Chinese Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, Panax quinquefolium L, and Panax notoginseng F.H. Chen) by the PHGC (potable handheld gas chromatograph). Ratios of several peak areas in chromatogram of derivative parrtern were as follows. If ratio of Korean Panax ginseng was 1, Panax notoginseng was $0.030{\sim}0.674$, Chinese Panax ginseng was $0.005{\sim}0.212$ and panax quinquefolium was $0.241{\sim}0.871$. Ratios of peak area at $Rt_{20.02}$ were that if Korean panax ginseng was 1, Chinese Panax ginseng was 0.212, Panax quinquefolium was 0.343 and Panax notoginseng was 0.065. Ratios also of peak area at $Rt_{21.70}\;and\;Rt_{24.90}$ showed clear difference among aroma patterns of Panax specie cultivars. Flavor component at $Rt_{26.15}$ was not detected in Panax quinquefolium and Panax notoginseng but in Korean Panax ginseng and Chinese Panax ginseng. Ratios of peak area at $Rt_{26.15}$ were that if Korean Panax ginseng was 1, Chinese Panax ginseng was 0.185. And so habitat of Panax species cultivars was discriminated. Cultivar and habitat of dried panax species was remarkably distinguised by the chromatogram of frequency pattern, derivative pattern and visual pattern using olfactory images known as Vapor $print^{TM}$.
