Sum of saponins and inulin contents in different water extracts of Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC (PG).
Analyzed Material # | Sum of Saponins [%] | Inulin [%] |
---|---|---|
E1 | 17.39 ± 1.30 | 31.19 ± 2.60 |
E2 | 24.95 ± 0.48 * | 34.75 ± 0.64 * |
E3 | 37.04 ± 0.82 *,+ | 39.68 ± 0.08 *,+ |
Legend:#—determined in extract dry mass, mean ± SD (n = 4), E1—extract from roots of field cultivated of PG, E2—extract from biotransformed roots of PG, E3—extract from callus of PG, *—significant difference vs. E1, p ≤ 0.05, +—significant difference vs. E2, p ≤ 0.05
