Title: Determination of Saponin Content in Root, Stem and Leaf of Astragalus membranaceus
Abstract: Saponin content in roots, Stems and leaves of Astragalus membranaceus was determined by comparing their colors. Results indicated that in roots of Astragalus membranaceus, content of saponins is 0. 261 6 %, and that of astragaloside Ⅳ is 0. 085 %. In leaves and stems of Astragalus membranaceus, content of saponins is 0.2162%, and that of astragaloside Ⅳ is 0.052%. Saponins of stems and leaves of Astragalus membranaceus can be used as medocone instead of roots of Astragalus membranaceus.
