인삼은 우리나라를 대표하는 약용작물로 남한뿐만 아니라 북한에서도 매우 중요하게 취급되고 있다. 그러나 북한에 대한 정보 접근이 어렵기 때문에 실제 북한에서 인삼의 재배, 연구와 개발 동향, 관련 산업 현황에 대해서는 잘 알려지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 비록 제한적이긴 하나 구할 수 있는 서지 자료를 통해 북한에서의 인삼 산업 현황과 연구 동향을 파악하고자 하였다. 북한약전에는 인삼이 "고려인삼"으로 수재되어 있으며 '개성지방에서 재배한 6년생 인삼의 뿌리'로 정의하고 있다. 또한 북한약전에는 22종의 인삼제제가 수재되어 있다. 북한에서는 필수약품(2002) 중 건위소화약, 지사약, 보약 등 10개 약품에 인삼이 들어가고, 그 외에도 다양한 건강보조식품과 화장품, 치약 등이 개발되어 유통·판매되고 있다. 2014년 이후 북한에서 인삼 산업과 연구가 전반적으로 활발해지고 있다. 이때 개성의 인삼재배지역을 대폭 확장하고 설비를 보수하였다. 2016년, 개성고려인삼가공공장을 무균화, 현대화, 무진화된 설비로 정비하여 가동 중이라고 한다. 2017년 이후 품질관리 연구에 관심을 돌려 2019년 품질관리규정과 인증제를 도입하기에 이르렀다. 1990년대에 인삼 제품개발 연구가 많았고 2000년부터 인삼의 약리작용 및 치료·임상연구에 대한 연구가 보고되었다. 또한, 수확량을 높이기 위한 인삼재배와 인삼가공업 관련 연구가 중시되고 있다. 인삼은 우리나라를 대표하는 약용작물이라는 점, 남과 북이 모두 중요시하고 있다는 점, 남과 북이 상호 협력하면 큰 시너지 효과를 얻을 수 있다는 점에서 남북 교류협력에 있어서 매우 적합한 소재이다.

Living organisms have antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase SE glutathione peroxidase, that protect themselves from the toxic effect of superoxide free radicals. Some report says that intracellular oxidation stress is involved in pathogenesis of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of red ginseng on lipid peroxidation of red blood cell and antioxidant SOD activity of serum in NIDDM patients. As a result, there were trends for decrease of lipid peroxidases of RBC and Increase of SOD activity of serum in ginseng group but that were not statistically significant. Therefore, we suggest long term and large sized control study is necessary to confirm the protective effects of red ginseng on oxidative damage in NIDDM patients.

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.

Ginseng, the root of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, is well-known oriental herbal medicine. The number of paper reporting the effects on its physiological, pharmacological, and behavioral effects has been increased every year, since ginsenosides isolated from ginseng are known to be biologically active components. This brief review summarizes some of new findings from recently published papers on ginsenosides or ginseng saponins. Therefore, this paper includes the various effects of ginsenosides on neuronal cell growths, on behavior of experimental animals, on enzyme activities, on the release and uptake of neurotransmitters, on neuronal cell excitability, on the motility of intestine, on antitumor activity, on cardiovascular system and metabolism. In spite of various effects of ginsenosides on various cells or organs, it is still to date impossible for one to clearly explain the exact mechanism on the action of ginsenosides. However, in this article I will discuss several papers providing possible explanations on the physiological and pharmacological actions including signal transudation pathway of ginsenosides. The elucidation of the exact mechanism of ginsenosides on cellular or molecular level will not only give us a chance to explain why people have used ginseng as an elixir of life for several thousands of year but also give us a crucial chance to apply ginseng to modern medicine.
