Different samples of ginseng slices have been directly, rapidly assayed by means of FT-IR & FT-RAMAN spectra. The charts of FT-IR & FT-RAMAN spectra have been compared by computer contrasting software. The result shows that ginseng slices of different breeds from different producing areas, processed in different way, present similar charts of FT-IR & FT-RAMAN spectra in high frequency area, but different ones in low frequency area. Compared with the relevant coefficients by computer, the chart of FT-IR spectra, and especially the chart of FT-RAMAN spectra for different ginseng slices present v...
