Upon feeding dried Ginseng to rats of either low-protein or high protein diet ethanol was administered intraperitoneally and disappearance rate blood alcohol was enzymatically measure. In terms of residual blood alcohol after a time lapse of 3.5 hours between intraperitonial administration and blood withdrawal neither ginseng nor ginseng plus 40% casein did improve the rate, of alcohol clearance but sexual difference was clearly demonstrated in favor of female rats. In the case of blood withdrawn only 2 hours after intraperitoneal injection of alcohol, the tendency of female superiority in alcohol clearance rate is demonstrated when a comparison is made among the groups fed with ginseng and this was particularly true is groups of rats fed with basal diet plus 1 percent ginseng residual blood ethanol being 15.4 mg/ml vs. 8.8 mg/ml. Liver homogenate alcohol dehydrogenase activity measured in terms of residual ethanol content after in vitro reaction on which a known amount of alcohol was added clearly demonstrated a male superiority in alcohol clearance.

To overcome the problem of ginseng's earthy smell in the manufacture of ginseng wine, we used dried ginseng powder that was extrusion-cooked at $125-168^{\circ}C$ in the wine making process. By using a ginseng powder that was extrusion-cooked at higher temperatures, fermentation by Maillard reaction products (MRPs) was delayed, and the acidic pH that results from extrusion cooking was improved. At $15^{\circ}C$ with glucose instead of sucrose, an addition of 0.5%(w/v) diammonium phosphate (DAP) to the $125^{\circ}C$ extrusion-cooked ginseng powder reduced the primary fermentation time to 11 days versus 33 days without DAP. In the absence of DAP, by increasing the fermentation temperature from 15 to $30^{\circ}C$, increasing the starter yeast inoculate from 0.02 to 1 %, and by increasing the amount of ginseng extrudate from 1 to 2%, fermentation time was effectively reduced more than 10-fold. The results of this study may provide information for the alcohol fermentation of materials containing MRPs as well as for poor nitrogen sources.

The isolation of volatile compounds by vacuum-distillation with freeze-drying was tested 1 with fresh ginseng roots. The roots were frozen at-8$0^{\circ}C$; they were dried at-4$0^{\circ}C$ tinder vacuum(40 tory), for 24 hours; and the ice condensed at the silrface of condenser in the freeze-dryer was thauved at room temperature. The ether extract of the resulting aqueous solution was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID) or a nitrogen-phosphorils detecto(NPD) and by gas : chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC/MS). More than forty peaks were observed in the CG(FID) profile. and more than ten peaks were observed in the GC(NPD) profile. Among them, thirteen components 1including one aldehyde, four hydrocarbons, two esters, folly alcohols, and two vyrazines were identified: six components the molesuiar ions of which were m/z, 204 were estimated to be a series of azulene compounds; and the other components unidentified were estimated to have molecular weights of lower than 254. Therefore, the freeze-drying technicue is thought to be usefu1 for the isolation of volatile compounds of such low molecufilar weights from vegetables, fruits and biological fluids as well as fresh ginseng roots under the tested conditions.

Ginseng root starch, prepared by conventional method, contained crude lipid of 0.5%, crude protein of 0.4%, crude mineral of 0.17% and phosphorous of 12.5mg% as noncarbohydrate constituents. The amylose content of ginseng root starch picked in Summer (May to August) and Winter (November to March) was 32-35% and 15-20%, respectively, and it was decreased with a growing preiod of ginseng. The blue value, alkali number and ferricyanide number of the starch were 0.14-0.17, 8.50 and 0.781, respectively. The molecular weight of amylose in the starch was estimated to be 1.27-7.95${\times}$105 by means of periodate oxidation, and the degree of branching and glucose unit per segment of amylopectin were 3.50-3.53% and 28.3-28.5, respectively, The starch content of ginseng root was decreased when dried under sunlight and stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for twenty days. In contrast, sucrose content in the root was increased from 3.8% in fresh state to 11.5% during storage at the above condition. In the other hand, starch was converted to maltose by heating at temperature above 70$^{\circ}C$.

Today, energy bars are consumed not only as snacks but also as meal replacement foods. Convenience and nutritional supplementation are the main factors accounting for the increasing use of energy bars. Two hundred Chinese customers who attended the China Fisheries & Seafood Exposition in China, and had no inhibitions about consuming cereal bars were selected. The questionnaire was composed of CATA choices that selected both the reasons for liking and disliking four different types of cereal bars, namely topokki flavor (hot pepper paste), seaweed flavor, kimchi flavor, and ginseng flavor cereal bars with 10% of dried anchovy content produced by BadaOne Co. (Seoul, Korea). The purpose of the study was to investigate Chinese consumer's attitudes and acceptance of different flavored cereal bars containing protein and calciumrich anchovy. For the selected Chinese customers, the acceptance score for the seaweed flavor was the highest, followed by topokki, red ginseng, and kimchi. The acceptance for the topokki flavor was higher than for seaweed for the attributes of color except for general acceptance, flavor, aroma, and texture. The results of the survey showed that the acceptance of kimchi was the lowest, contrary to earlier predictions. The results of the Check All That Apply (CATA) analysis showed that the reasons for liking the seaweed & anchovy flavor were the most diverse, and there was no reason chosen for disliking this flavor. The reasons for liking this flavor were listed as sweet flavor, healthy, seafood flavor, malty flavor, texture, new/unique, and umami. In the case of topokki and kimchi, the reason for disliking the flavor was umami, and in the case of red ginseng, the ginseng flavor was the reason for both likes and dislikes. CA analysis showed that both the flavor and emotional factors were positive for seaweed & anchovy and topokki, but negative for red ginseng. As a result, seaweed & anchovy flavor, which is familiar to the Chinese people, should be the first cereal bar considered for a launch.

This study aimed to investigate the hepatoprotective activities of the sea cucumber products, including extracts and hydrolysates, in vitro and in vivo. Dried sea cucumber, produced on the western coast of Korea, was boiled in water or 70% ethanol at 85℃ or 100℃ for 18 or 24 h, respectively, to extract bioactive compounds. The enzymatic hydrolysates were prepared by reacting the dried sea cucumber with pepsin or neutral protease (PNL) under optimal enzyme conditions. The anti-inflammatory effect of the samples was investigated using RAW 264.7 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The amount of nitric oxide (NO) was produced from the cells treated with LPS and each sample was compared. Therefore, the pepsin hydrolysate treatment decreased NO production compared to LPS sole treatment. Furthermore, the effects of the samples on cell injury in the hepatic cell line and bisphenolA-induced hepatic injury mouse model were investigated. The water extracts and the pepsin hydrolysates of sea cucumber significantly inhibited cell injury generated in the hepatocytes without cytotoxicity (p < 0.05), whereas the ethanol extracts were cytotoxic. However, these results indicate that the extracts and the enzymatic hydrolysates derived from sea cucumber can be used as beneficial materials for inhibiting liver damage.

본 연구에서는 150 mM HCl/60 % ethanol로 급성 위염을 유발한 마우스에서 증숙 시간에 따른 홍삼의 위염 보효 효과에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 백삼과 홍삼의 증숙 시간에 따른 성분을 분석한 결과 사포닌, total polyphenol과 total flavonoid의 총 함량이 증숙 시간에 따라 증가하였고 6시간 증숙한 홍삼에서 가장 높은 함량을 보였다. 또한 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl와 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid radical 소거능 실험을 통해 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과 RG 6에서 가장 높은 활성을 나타냈다. In vitro 실험 결과를 바탕으로 시료를 선택하였고 in vivo 실험을 진행하였다. 급성 위염 마우스 모델에 백삼과 6시간 증숙한 홍삼을 투여하였을 때, RG 6에서 위 점막 손상의 개선을 육안적으로 확인할 수 있었으며, 혈액에서 측정한 ROS 수치도 대조군에 비해 유의적인 감소를 보였다. 또한 염증성 사이토카인을 확인한 결과 대조군에 비해 RG6에서 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 증숙 시간에 따른 홍삼은 급성 위염 유발 마우스 모델에서 위염 보호 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of extrusion of ginseng roots in twin screw extruder on susceptibility of ginseng starch toward hydrolysis by ${\alpha}-amylase$ BAN 480L (Novozyme, Denmark) and cellulase Celluclast 150L and saccharification by amyloglucosidase AMG-E (Novozyme, Denmark). The extrusion was conducted at 22% and 30% moisture contents of feed at screw speed 300 rpm. Barrel temperature at zone 1 was adjusted at $100^{\circ}C$ and $120^{\circ}C$. The results showed that extrusion process improved the ginseng ${\alpha}-amylase$ susceptibility as compared to traditionally dried ginseng (white and red ginseng). Reducing sugar of hydrolyzed extruded samples was 2,500% of its initial concentration, whereas the reducing sugar of hydrolyzed non-extruded sample was only 200% of its initial concentration. However, addition of cellulase during liquefaction lowered the saccharification yield of both non-extruded and extruded samples as well.

Wood-cultivated ginseng, including roots in its dried form, is produced in forest land without using artificial facilities such as light barriers. To identify suitable sites for the propagation of wood-cultivated ginseng, factor combination technique (FCT) and linear combination technique (LCT) were used with geographic information system and the results were superimposed onto an actual wood-cultivated ginseng plantation. The LCT more extensively searched for suitable sites of cultivation than that by the FCT; further, the LCT probed wide areas considering the predominance of precipitous mountains in Korea. In addition, the LCT showed the much higher degree of overlap with the actual cultivation sites; therefore, the LCT more comprehensively reflects the cultivator's intention for site selection. On the other hand, the inclusion of additional factors for the selection of suitable cultivation sites and experts' opinions may enhance the effectiveness and accuracy of the LCT for site application.
