Abstract
Four main dammarane-type aglycones of gypenosides, extracted from the aeria l parts of Gynostemma pentaphyllum were identified by gas chromatography-ma ss spectrometry. By detecting these aglycones as well as the aglycones of g insenosides, a difference in sapogenin composition between Gynostemma penta phyllum and Panax species was observed, which can be used in the differenti ation of these plant drugs.
