The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activities of water soluble browning reaction products (WS-BRPs) isolated 5\ulcorneron korea red ginseng. Antioxidant activities of WS-BRPs were examined with the various systems. All three WS-BRPs (L, S-1 and S-2) were found to have an ability to linoleic acid, Ox-brain autoxidant, Fe$^{2+}$ ADP/NAD system and cumene hydroperoxide system. Especially, S-2 was had the strongest activity of theses three WS-BRPs to scavenge free radicals such as more effective than S-1, L. MDA determination showed the antioxidant effect on linoleic acid oxidation inhibition ratio of 22.5%, 31.7%, 31.9% and 33.5%, respectivity Especially; Ox-brain autoxidant was strong inhibited activity by 49.52%,62,44,97.54% by addition of various concentration. But three WS-BRPs showed weak inhibitory activity on lipid peroxidation in rat hepatic microsomes induced enzymatically and nonenzymaticallyly
