Abstract

In order to enhance the components of bioactive ginsenosides and the manufacturing process of red ginseng, we developed the simplified method for red ginseng production. The red ginseng extract was prepared from red ginseng produced with the simplified method, and the production rate of extract ($62^{\circ}$ brix) was more than 60%. The ginsenosides of red ginseng were purified and analyzed by HPLC using ELSD. Ginsenoside-$Rg_3,\;Rh_2$ and $Rh_1$, specific artifacts found only in red ginseng, were detected by HPLC. Especially, contents of ginsenoside-$Rg_3$ and Rh1 were detected high than two times in red ginseng produced the simplified method compared to commercial products.

홍삼 제조공정을 단순화하면서 효율적으로 유효성분을 증대시키기 위해서 4년근 수삼을 구입하여 깨끗이 수세한 후 $96-98^{\circ}C$에 3시간 정도 수증기로 증삼한 후 30시간 정도 열풍건조하여 홍삼제조를 위한 간이법을 개발하였다. 제조한 홍삼으로부터 홍삼엑스($60^{\circ}$ brix 이상)를 제조하였으며 홍삼엑스의 추출수율은 60% 이상이었다. 간이법으로 제조한 홍삼을 재료로 하여 농축한 홍삼엑스의 사포닌 함량을 조사하기 위해서 HPLC를 이용하여 총 사포닌(total saponin)을 분석하였다. 그 결과 PD계 사포닌 중 암세포전이억제효과와 평활근이완작용이 탁월한 ginsenoside-Rg3에는 H사에 비하여 2배 이상 검출되었으며, 간상해 억제작용과 혈소판 응집억제작용이 있는 것으로 알려진 ginsenoside-Rh1종의 경우 3배 이상 검출이 되었다.
