According to the research of scientists, ginsenoside contains a special component called saponin, which is not found in other plants. Saponins are the main effective components of ginseng, which can inhibit the aging of the body and stimulate fibrinolytic activity. At present, there are five kinds of common ginseng in the world, namely, Korean ginseng, American ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Panax japonicus and Trifolium ginseng, but the amount of saponins they contain is different. There are only 8 kinds of Japanese ginseng, 14 kinds of American ginseng, 15 kinds of panax notoginseng and Korean ginseng, containing 22 ~ 3 1 kind of saponins.

However, Kim Hyung-sook, director of the Overseas Business Bureau of Korean Ginseng Corporation, pointed out that excellent ginseng varieties are only half the battle, and the efforts made the day after tomorrow, including careful handling during planting, strict quality control and harvesting and processing procedures, will also greatly affect the quality of ginseng products. Take Korean ginseng commune's fist brand Zhengguanzhuang Korean ginseng as an example. It uses high-quality Korean ginseng with 3 1 saponin for processing, from planting, quality inspection to processing. Korean Ginseng Corporation will investigate whether there is chemical fertilizer or organic toxic pollution in ginseng nursery, then make planting contract and pay funds in advance to support planting. It is forbidden to use chemical fertilizers during planting, and the content of chemical fertilizers and pesticide residues in the land should be monitored for a long time. So when introducing and popularizing new varieties, the safety of raw materials is guaranteed. Korean ginseng company will also provide standardized planting techniques to cultivate high-quality pure ginseng. After harvesting ginseng, ginseng nursery will be fallow 10 years or more.
