There are two kinds of commercially available ginseng root, red ginseng and white ginseng processed from fresh ginseng root Those ginsengs are primary product from fresh ginseng root and have the characteristic of keeping their original root shape Processed ginseng products are made from either red ginseng or white ginseng by way of complicated process of pulverization. Extraction. Condensation, fettering, sterilization, etc. Among them there are extracts. extract powder, powder, capsules tablets, Candy, drinks, nectar, jelly, gums. chicken soup. tonic. etc. to meet the demand for consumer's pretheronce . The 200 kinds of processed secondary products are approximately produced in the form of 20 kinds of ginseng products by about 60 domestic companies. In spite of about 213.000 million won of domestic market in 1993. it seems like that the ginseng market of the future has not a good prospects The total market sale of white ginseng in Korea has been continuously decreased since 1991 And 963 tons of white ginseng was consumed in domestic market in 1993 The domestic market sales of white ginseng in origina1 root shave. was 90, 000 million won in 1993 and market price of the fine root used as a source of processed products has not been changed in these ten years. The total market sale of red ginseng and its processed products was 58, 000 million won in 1993 9.800 mi11ion won of red ginseng in original root shape and 48.000mi11ion of processed red ginseng product. Ginseng products such as extracts, drinks, teas and tonics etc atre mostly exported to south-east Asia. And the total exports of ginseng pi.oducts (extracts, drinks teas) decreased to 54 million dollars in 1994, compared with 85 million dollars in 1992. Despite of extensive knowledge about ginseng little is still known about the development of new processed ginseng pl.oducts because of "Know-How". Some papars have presented the effects of extracting method(amounts of solvent. time. temperature, equipment. etc.) on the quality and yields of ginseng extr acts. Also. some researchers have carried out a few studies on the poriflcation of the extracts and the amounts of precipitation in the drink at variotas pH during the storage for preventinly drink from precipitation. A fell studies on the preservation of Korean ginseng powder. tea. Extract powder by irradiation and ozone treatment have been reported by some researcher for the improvement hygienic quality of ginseng products There are also some reports about the effects of ginseng components on the acid production by lactic acid bacteria or acetic acid bacteria. and alcohol production by yeast for the development of new ginseng products processed by fermentation. To make ginseng more able to contribute to the health of mankind in the future. consistent and considerable efforts should be focussed on improving the taste of ginseng and developing various new product as a health food or a function food.tion food.

저장온도(실온, $35^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$)와 저장기간($1{\sim}10$개월)별로 보관한 인삼드링크제품의 $CO_2$ 압력, pH, 침전물 생성, 당도, 유리당, 색도, 조사포닌 및 ginsenoside 함량변화를 조사한 결과 $CO_2$ 압력은 실온에서 9개월후, $35^{\circ}C$에서 6개월후 및 $50^{\circ}C$에서 3개월후부터 각각 감소되었다. pH와 당도는 저장온도와 저장기간에 관계없이 각각 $3.17{\sim}3.21$과 $14.3{\sim}14.6$을 나타내었다. 색도, glucose와 fructose 및 panaxatriol계 사포닌은 저장온도가 높고 저장기간이 길수록 증가하였으나 sucrose와 panaxadiol계 사포닌은 감소하였다.

The objective of this study was to prepare bioactive ginseng yogurts containing compound K, which is transformed from ginsenosides, and to investigate the compound's cytotoxicity against tumor cells. Milk containing ginseng was fermented by Bifidobacteria KK-I and KK-2, and their activities for transforming ginsenosides to compound K were measured. Among the tested concentrations of ginseng in the milk, compound K was effectively produced in the 3% and 6% ginseng yogurts fermented for 48 hrs. These fermented ginseng yogurts were extracted with BuOH, and their cytotoxicities against tumor cells were examined. The BuOH extract of the yogurt made from the 3% ginseng milk showed cytotoxic activity against P388 and HeLa tumor cells. However, the nonfermented ginseng milk did not exhibit cytotoxicity against these cells. Therefore, we deem that the ginseng yogurt, which contained compound K, could be developed as a potential fermented drink product.

A survey was conducted to investigate the intake pattern of health supplements and health foods by using questionnaire. The data were collected from 395 adults over middle age and analyzed with SAS program. The natural foods were most frequently taken among health supplements and health foods for health. There was no difference in pattern of health supplements or health foods intake between male and female. The item taken over 20% of subjects was health drinks, green tea, ginseng product, dietary fiber drink, honey, general tea, tonic medicine from natural foods, vitamin B, vitamin C from nutrition supplements, and Lactobacillus product from health supplements. As the main reason for taking health supplements or health foods, the male indicated recovery of fatigue and improvement of health, but the female indicated recovery of fatigue and protection or treatment on disease(p<0.001). The frequency of taking health supplements or health foods was once a day. About the effect of health foods 70.1%, of subjects answered not bad and 25% responded very helpful for their health. Twenty percent of subjects experienced side effects such as diarrhea. The results showed that the proper education program should be developed for consumer to choose suitable health supplements or health foods according to their dietary life and health condition.

보존료를 인위적으로 첨가하지 않았음에도 프로피온산, 안식향산이 천연 원료로부터 이행되거나 발효 및 숙성과정에서 미생물의 대사산물로써 생성되는 제품군들을 선정하여 berry류, 건강기능식품, 식초음료류, 초(염)절임류 등 4그룹으로 분류하였다. 145건의 시료로부터 안식향산과 프로피온산의 함량과 재래식 발효법에 의한 감식초의 담금, 발효기간에 따른 프로피온산의 함량변화를 조사하였다. 재래식 방법으로 담금한 감식초에서 발효과정 중의 프로피온산 생성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 식품 중 안식향산과 프로피온산의 모니터링을 위하여 제조공정 중 안식향산 및 프로피온산을 사용하지 않은 식품 중 berry류(푸룬, 크랜베리), 건강기능식품(프로폴리스추출물제품, 인삼제품), 식초음료류(식초음료베이스, 식초혼합음료, 과실식초), 절임류(올리브제품, 염절임류, 오이피클류, 초절임류) 등 145건을 분석한 결과, 145건의 시료 중 144건의 시료에서 안식향산이 검출되었으며, 크랜베리와 프로폴리스 추출물제품 중에는 최대 약 500 ppm 농도의 안식향산이 원료로부터 천연유래된 것으로 나타났다. 프로피온산은 시료 64건에서만 검출되었으며, 프로폴리스 추출물 제품의 경우 원료로부터 천연유래 된 것으로 나타났고, 과실식초음료류와 올리브 제품의 경우는 식품의 제조과정 중 발효 및 숙성에 의한 부산물로써 천연유래된 것으로 사료되어진다.
