Introduction

Overview of GB/T 36397—2018 Quality Standard for Classification of American Ginseng

This standard specifies the terms and definitions, technical requirements, inspection methods, inspection rules, signs, labels and packaging, as well as transportation and storage of American ginseng products. It is applicable to the classification and inspection of American ginseng.

1. Background of Standard Formulation

This standard was proposed and coordinated by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Ginseng and Antler Products (SAC/TC 403), reflecting the urgent need for quality control of American ginseng in the industry. The drafting units include Jilin Ginseng Research Institute, National Ginseng and Antler Products Supervision and Inspection Center and other authoritative institutions, ensuring the scientificity and authority of the standard.

2. Classification and terminology of American ginseng

American ginseng is divided into two types: hard branch and soft branch:
- Hard branch American ginseng: the processing temperature is higher than $50~^{\circ}C$, the cross section is milky white and powdery.
- Soft branch American ginseng: the processing temperature is lower than $50~^{\circ}C$, the cross section is yellowish white and oily.

3. Comparison of standard frameworks

Project dimensions Special grade First grade Second grade
Shape requirements Spindle-shaped, cylindrical or conical, quasi-spherical Spindle-shaped, cylindrical or conical, quasi-spherical Spindle-shaped, cylindrical or conical, quasi-spherical
Surface properties The surface is light yellow-brown or yellow-white, with visible transverse rings and linear lenticels The surface is light yellow-brown or yellow-white, with visible transverse rings and linear lenticels Surface is light yellow-brown or yellow-white, with visible transverse rings and linear lenticels
Cross-sectional features Yellow-white, flat, with visible resin duct spots Yellow-white, flat, with visible resin duct spots Yellow-white or light yellow-brown, flat, with visible resin duct spots

4. Technical requirements interpretation

The physical and chemical indicators in the standard include moisture, total ash, ginsenoside content, etc., among which:

  • Moisture content: ≤13.00%
  • Ginsenoside Rb₁ content: ≥2.00%
  • Total saponins content of American ginseng: ≥4.00%

5. Inspection methods and implementation recommendations

Inspection methods include sampling, specification grade inspection and physical and chemical index testing. To ensure the effective implementation of the standard, it is recommended that:

  1. Manufacturing companies should be equipped with professional testing equipment, such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
  2. Establish a sound quality management system and conduct internal audits regularly.
  3. Strengthen personnel training to ensure that technical personnel are familiar with standard requirements and testing procedures.
