Abstract
The use of  Panax Ginseng  (PG) products  is continuously expanding around the world. The popular belief said herbal products are always “safe”, because of  its natural source. However, evidences that indicate its quality before marketing are very limited. Although PG  products have shown promising potential with the efficacy, many of these products  remain untested.  This work aims to evaluate some quality aspects of PG  products in regard with  Qualitative, Quantitative (total Ginsenosiedes content (TGC)), microscopic, Loss On Drying (LOD) tests and in comparison with PG crude plant. The qualitative test revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, and saponins with the exception of tannins. The TGC ranged  from (31.16 to102.58  mg/g).  Microscopic findings revealed the presence of parenchyma cells with gelatinous content in product A. Moreover, Most of the products exceeded the reference limits for LOD. This process is becoming increasingly important, along with ‘quality control/assurance’, as a means of ensuring a consistent supply of high-quality herbal medicines.
