Abstract

The present studies were carried out to develope a simple quantitative analysis for saponins in ginseng by hemolysis. Erythrocytes from pig, rabbit, human and cattle were useful for this purpose. Erythrocytes could be stored at $4^{\circ}C$for 9 days without altering the sensitivity to saponins. Ginsenoside-Rb_1 did hemolysis, but Ginsenoside-Re protected erythrocytes from hemolysis. The following formula is proposed for calculation of saponins from ginseng extract: X=120$\mu$g $\times$$V_2/V_1$
