Abstract

|
Recently, Ziziphi Mauritianae Semen and Leucaenae Semen, the adulterants of Sanjoin (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen), were distributed in korean herbal markets, although they should not be used as Sanjoin. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a accurate criteria of identification for Sanjoin and the adulterants. For authentication of Sanjoin, morphological characteristics of Sanjoin and the adulterants were compared by a stereoscopic observation. Ziziphi Spinosae Semen showed fine wrinkles on the surface without any patterns, while Ziziphi Mauritianae Semen showed the patterns like leopard skins on the surface. In addition, the shapes of transverse sections of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen and Ziziphi Mauritianae Semen were convex, while that of Leucaenae Semen was flat. These results indicate that the shapes of transverse sections and the characteristic patterns on the surfaces could be the authentic points of discrimination of Sanjoin and the adulterants.
