Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To compare the activities of malate dehydrogenase (MDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and
α-Glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (
α-GPD) in 5-year Ginseng Radix in seedling stage.
METHODS Adopt neutral buffer solution to extract the coarse enzyme. Use spectrophotometry to test the activities of MDH, LDH, ADH, G6PDH,
α-GPD.
RESULTS In seedling stage of Ginseng Radix, there were different changes trends of these five dehydrogenase in root and sprout. And there were peak values in different stages.
CONCLUSION The activities of MDH, LDH, ADH, G6PDH,
α-GPD can be used as the evaluation indicators of quality of Ginseng Radix.
