林下山参为播种在山林野生状态下自然生长的五加科人参属草本植物。其含有皂苷、挥发油、多糖、蛋白、无机元素等多种活性成分,具有极高的药用价值和广泛的药理作用。市场上林下山参存在以假乱真、以次充好的现象,质量参差不齐。目前,已有多种鉴别方法应用于林下山参的鉴别评价。针对林下山参的化学成分及鉴别评价研究进展进行综述,以期为林下山参的进一步开发利用提供参考。

Mountain cultivated ginseng (MCG), also called "Lin-Xia-Shan-Shen", is intentionally seeded and grows in mountainous forest but without any artificial management, which belongs to the herbaceous plants classified in the Araliaceae family and the genus Panax L. MCG has high medicinal value and wide range of pharmacological effects, which had been reported with many kinds of effective components, such as saponins, volatile oil, polysaccharides, protein, and inorganic elements. There is a phenomenon that something regards as real, shoddy, varying of quality in MCG market. Currently, a lot of measures are applied to the identification and evaluation of MCG. This paper summarizes the progress in study on the chemical constituents, the identification and evaluation of MCG, and provides the references for the further development, utilization, and quality control of MCG.
