Determination of Dietary Fiber Contents in Dodok ( Codonopsis lanceolata traut (Beneth et Gook)) and Ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer)

더덕과 인삼의 식이섬유소 함량의 측정

The total dietary fiber (TDF) contents in cultivated dodok, wild dodok and ginseng were determined by AOAC method and Mongeau et al's method. Also, the nonstarch polysaccharide (NSP) contents of them were analyzed by Englyst et al's gas chromatographic (GC) method. The TDF values by AOAC method and Mongeau et al's method were 34.50% and 35.92% for wild dodok, 46.40% and 47.55% for cultivated dodok, and 14.93% and 14.03% for ginseng, respectively. The ratios of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) contents to TDF contents by Mongesu et al's method were 64.17% for wild dodok, 75.77% for cultivated dodok, and 53.74% for ginseng, respectively. The major sugar constituents of NSF in wild dodok, cultivated dodok and ginseng by GC were glucose, galactose and uronic acid. The Enalyst's TDF contents, i.e., NSP plus lignin contents in wild dodok, cultivated dodok, and ginseng were 20.65%, 20.03% , and 9.72%, respectively.
