  • Applications

    Ginsenoside K (CAS 39262-14-1) is a triterpenoid saponin derived from ginseng, applied in real-world contexts across several sectors: as a bioactive constituent in cosmetic and personal care formulations; as an ingredient in dietary supplements and ginseng-derived extracts; as an analytical reference compound for quality control of ginseng extracts and herbal products using HPLC or LC-MS; used in pharmaceutical research and development to evaluate properties and guide extraction/process optimization at the research scale; and as a reference standard in laboratories for quantifying ginsenosides in samples.
