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.

In this study, we investigated the effects of Ginseng Radix (G), Rehmanniae Radix (R), and Fermented red-ginseng extracts (FRG) on cognitive function in scopolamine-induced memory-impaired mice. We measured the effects of G, R, and FRG on the improvement of memory and cognition via behavior analysis. In addition, we measured the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the hippocampus of each group of mice. The expression of β-amyloid, Tau, and BDNF in the brain tissues were observed through immunohistochemical staining. Ginseng Radix (G) and Fermented red-ginseng (FRG) have effectively improved cognitive function in the water maze test. Ginseng Radix (G), Rehmanniae Radix (R), and Fermented red-ginseng (FRG) have improved the willingness of mice to explore the new environment, as confirmed by Y maze test. In addition, immunohistochemical staining revealed that Ginseng Radix (G) decreased the expression of β-amyloid and Tau in the hippocampus. In addition, fermented red-ginseng (FRG) increased the expression of BDNF. Ginseng Radix (G), Rehmanniae Radix (R), and Fermented red-ginseng (FRG) have decreased the concentration of acetylcholinesterase in the hippocampus as compared with the control group of mice. In conclusion, Ginseng Radix (G), Rehmanniae Radix (R), and Fermented red-ginseng (FRG) are considered to have the potential for development as candidate drugs to control the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, Korean herb medicine, has been widely used in China and Japan for fatigue and enhancement of resistance to many diseases. In this study, we investigated the synergistic effect of Korean red ginseng and Fagopyrum esculentum extracts (RGFE) on dermal bioactive properties. RGFE treatment significantly increased electron donating ability, nitrite scavenging activity and collagenase inhibitory activity compared to red ginseng-treated group. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in RGFE-treated group was similar to that of red ginseng. However, tyrosinase activity as indicator of melanin synthesis was not affected by RGFE or red ginseng. The results indicate that RGFE has anti-oxidative property and inhibitory effect of collagenase, and it may serve as a effective ingredient for beauty food.

White, red, and extruded ginsengs were studied against 8 strains of food-borne pathogens and/or food spoilage microorganisms. The ginseng powders were extracted with different extractants and screened for antimicrobial activity using the disc diffusion and broth dilution techniques. The results showed that the yield of extraction was higher with increase of aqueous solution content and temperature. Preliminary screening revealed that the red ginseng extracts were most active, that has been found to be highly effective against all tested microbe except Listeria monocytogenes. Moreover, Bacillus subtilis has shown highly susceptible, which the diameters of inhibition zone values of 28 extracts were between 7 and 14 mm. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) recorded for the different crude ginseng extracts against microorganism using ranged from 6.25 to 100 mg/mL, indicated that the methanol extract of ginseng were more effective than ethanol and water extracts. The 60% methanol extract of red ginseng had the greatest effects against B. subtilis with MIC and MBC values at 6.25 mg/mL.

본 연구는 고온 고압의 autoclaving 조건에서 2시간 내외로 증삼한 인삼과 그 용출액으로 2단계 열풍건조법으로 제조한 홍삼을 분말로 하여 그 열수추출물에 대한 이화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 즉 시료로 사용한 홍삼의 제조는 고온 고압으로 증삼한 용출액을 건조시 증삼 표면에 바르고 건조하여 외형이 흑삼 모양으로 변하였다. 홍삼 분말로부터 열수추출물의 총 폴리페놀, 총 플라보노이드, 총당, 산성다당체, 조사포닌 등의 함량을 분석하고, 색차계와 전자코를 이용하여 향미 성분을 측정하였다. Autoclave를 이용한 홍삼 열수추출물(ARG)의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 9.06 mg GAE/g, 총 플라보노이드 3.38 mg NE/g, 총당 35.22 g/100 g, 산성다당체 10.90 g/100 g, 조사포닌 10.22 g/100 g으로 나타났다. 본 홍삼제조법에 의해 얻어진 홍삼을 이용한 열수추출물은 총 폴리페놀, 총 플라보노이드, 조사포닌 등의 최종 함량이 다른 홍삼 제조법에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 고온 고압으로 단시간에 얻은 증삼액인 용출액은 진세노사이드 조성이 다양하였다. Rb1을 포함한 인삼의 주요 진세노사이드 총 함량은 ARG에서 가장 낮은 10.69 mg/g으로 나타났으며 가공 조건이 홍삼 특유의 진세노사이드로의 전환에 영향을 주었다. Autoclave로 얻어진 홍삼 및 용출액은 홍삼성분의 저분자량으로의 변환을 통해 색의 강화 등 향미성분이 개선되어 식품 뿐만 아니라 비식품의 소재 및 제품을 위한 수요가 기대된다.

백삼과 홍삼 추출물이 APAP에 의한 산화적 급성 간손상에 대한 보호효과를 마우스를 대상으로 검토한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 백삼과 홍삼 추출물의 간장보호 활성에 관한 기전을 규명하고자 항산화효소인 SOD, CAT의 활성도는 APAP를 복강 주사한 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 효소활성이 감소하였고, 백삼과 홍삼추출물을 전처리한 실험군에서는 APAP군에 비해 효소 활성도가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 2. 지질과산화물의 함량은 APAP를 복강 주사한 실험군이 대조군에 비해 유의성 있게 증가하였고 백삼과 홍삼 추출물을 전처리한 실험군에서는 APAP군에 비해 지질과산화물의 생성을 유의성 있게 억제하였다. 3. 백삼과 홍삼 추출물의 투여량을 각각 50mg/kg, 250mg/kg으로 최대 5일간 전처리하여 APAP의 급성 간손상에 대한 보호효과를 조사한 결과 인삼 추출물의 투여량에는 크게 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 보였다. 따라서 백삼과 홍삼 추출물은 APAP의 활성 대사체에 의한 급성 산화적 간손상을 억제하였으며, 이는 인삼 추출물 성분이 항산화 효소와 항산화물질로 구성된 항산화 방어 체계를 통한 것임을 알 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 백삼과 홍삼 추출물이 간장 보호제로서의 개발 가능성이 있으며, APAP중독에 매우 효과적인 치료제로서 임상에서 활용될 수 있다고 생각된다.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of red ginseng extract (5.5 mg/mouse ip) on the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase and catalase in the liver of the gamma ray irradiated male mice. The experimental groups consisted of control, red ginseng extract injection group, irradiation (8 $Gy^{60}$Co) group and red ginseng extract injection after irradiation group. in red ginseng extract injection group, SOD, peroxidase and catalase activities were similar to that in the control group. In irradiation group SOD, peroxidase and catalase activities increased progressively until the 2nd day after the treatment and then decreased thereafter, whereas red ginseng extract injection after irradiation group recovered more rapidly than irradiation group. The above results suggested that red ginseng extract injection after irradiation group have the recovery effects on the activities of SOD, peroxidase and catalase after radiation injury in the liver of male mice.

홍삼액의 첨가에 따른 발효가능성을 알아보기 위하여 홍삼액의 첨가량을 달리하여 발효특성을 조사하였다. 본 실험에서는 Saccharomyces cerevisiae JF-Y3을 이용하여 발효를 실시하였으며, 홍삼액($20\;^{\circ}brix$) 함량 $10{\sim}50%$, yeast extract $0.5{\sim}2.5%$의 범위로 중심합성계획법에 의하여 10개의 구간으로 홍삼액의 알코올 발효특성을 살펴보았다. 효모수는 홍삼액 및 yeast extract 농도 모두에 영향을 받고 있었으며, 홍삼액 농도에 더 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 홍삼액 농도가 감소하고, yeast extract 농도가 증가할수록 효모수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 알코올 함량이 가장 높게 나타난 발효조건은 홍삼액 함량 30%, yeast extract 함량 0.50%이었으며, 이때의 최대값은 12.45%로 예측되었다. 당도 및 총당 함량의 경우 각각 1%이내의 유의수준에서 유의성이 인정되었고, 당도의 경우 홍삼액 및 yeast extract 함량 두 조건에 모두 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 총당 함량의 경우 주로 홍삼액 농도에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 홍삼액 $20\;^{\circ}brix$의 함량을 $10{\sim}50%$까지 증가하여도 발효액의 알코올 함량이 모두 10% 이상이었으며, 전반적으로 홍삼액 첨가에 따른 발효의 저해는 크게 일어나지 않는 것으로 나타나 홍삼의 유효한 성분을 이용한 기능성 주류 개발 시 홍삼농축액을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 앞으로 홍삼액 발효 시의 알코올 성분에 대한 분석, 발효액에 대한 관능적 특성, 유효성분 등에 대한 특성 변화 등을 통한 고품질 홍삼주 제조와 관련하여 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
