Antioxidant activities of germinated Ginseng(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) Seed

Ginseng has been traditionally used in Asia including Korea, for health care and to treat verities of different diseases such as immune disease, liver disease, and cancer. The current study was aim to unveal the most efficient method such heating, prethanol-A and ultrasound, for cured extraction of ginseng with higher antioxidant activity. The current results shows a significant improvement in the inhibition of H₂O₂ by the ultrasound method than the HT and Pre-A method. Thus this inhibition in free redical is possible through the increase in the antioxidant activity. Therefore in this study the CAT, APX and phenolic and flavonoid content was increased in ginseng seed and germinated ginseng sprouts by the US method, while the POD, SOD and GSH activity was increased in HT method. This suggest that the different extraction method in different stage of ginseng growth show a different biochemical and metabolites activation. Thereby the Ultrasound and Heat extraction was a feasible alternative method for extracting interested ingredients from biological materials.
