Abstract: D101 macroporous resin was used to purify gypenosides from crude extract of Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino leaves. The effects of sample concentration and ethanol concentration for desportion on the adsorption and desorption of total saponins were investigated to find optimal chromatographic conditions for enriching and separating ginsenosides Rb1, Rb3 and Re. HPLC-ELSD was used to analyze eluates obtained with different concentrations of ethanol. The optimal purification conditions were determined as follows: 6 mg/mL sample concentration and desorption with 50% ethanol aqueous solution, resulting in a total saponin purity of 92.76%.

Key words: gypenosides, macroporous resin, high performance liquid chromato graphy (HPLC), evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD)
