Abstract

|
|
This study was carried out to identify the age of red ginseng using the stem vestige counting methods and annual ring staining method. The samples were soaked, humidified, and restored before identifying the age. Root tissue was removed from rhizome after soaking treatment in $50^{\circ}C$ water for three days. It was found to be useful for precise identification of age. Safranine staining for counting the annual ring in sliced ginseng was not useful due to the poor staining. However, annual ring was clearly revealed whenr humidified sliced ginseng or soaked sliced ginseng were dried mechanically. These two method was useful to identify the age of red ginseng.
