It is known that principal orbits of Hermann actions of cohomogeneity one on symmetric spaces are curvature-adapted isoparametric hypersurfaces. In this paper, we obtain a Cartan type identity for curvature-adapted isoparametric hypersurfaces in symmetric spaces of compact type or non-compact type. In the case where the ambient symmetric space is of compact type, the proof is performed by showing the minimality of a focal submanifold of the hypersurface. In the case where the ambient symmetric space is of non-compact type, the proof is performed by showing the minimality of a focal submanifold of the complexificaton of the hypersurface.
