In this study, we investigated the appropriate conditions to extract acidic polysaccharide and to prepare red ginseng extract being rich in acidic polysaccharide from red tail ginseng marc produced after manufacturing alcoholic extract from red tail ginseng. Amount of acidic polysaccharide in red tail ginseng marc was about 11%. The best condition for the extraction of acidic polysaccharide from the marc was using of 3~5 mg of $\alpha$-amylase/g residue/15 ml of distilled water, and the amount of acidic polysaccharide in water extract of the residue treated with $\alpha$-amylase was about 27%. So, it is possible to manufacture red ginseng extract being rich in acidic polysaccharide using water extract of red tail ginseng alcoholic residue as extraction solvent. From the above results, we suggest that red tail ginseng residue produced by manufacturing alcoholic extract of red tail ginseng has high potencies in the utilization of waste material.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimum conditions for extraction of acidic polysaccharides from red ginseng marc produced by manufacturing alcoholic extract from red ginseng. Method of carbazole-sulfuric acid was applied to determine the amount of acidic polysaccharides in red ginseng marc. The amounts of acidic polysaccharides in water extract of red ginseng marc were increased with increasing extraction temperature. The contents of acidic polysaccharides were not significantly different despite of the extraction time increasing from 6 hours to 48 hours. The contents of starch in water-extract of red ginseng marc were increased with increasing extraction temperature. The starch amounts in water extract of red ginseng marc extracted for 48 hours were increased. The yields of polysaccharide precipitated from water-extract of red ginseng marc were increased with increasing extraction temperature. The hydration rate of acidic polysaccharides and starch from water-extract of red ginseng marc were decreased with increasing extraction temperature. The contents of starch were not significantly different despite of the extraction time increasing from 6 hours to 48 hours at $8^{\circ}C$. However, the rehydration rate of acidic polysaccharide for 48 hours were decreased at $8^{\circ}C$. The rehydration rate of acidic polysaccharide and starch extracted from 6 hours to 24 hours at $25^{\circ}C$ were not significantly different, but those extracted for 48 hours were increased. From the above results, we suggest that by altering the extraction conditions in red ginseng marc it is possible to develop optimum conditions for extraction that modulate the proportions of acidic polysaccharide and starch.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimum conditions for extraction of soluble acidic polysaccharides from ginseng marc. Method of carbazole-sulfuric acid was applied to determine the amount of acidic polysaccharides in ginseng marc. The amounts of soluble acidic polysaccharides in water extract of ginseng marc were increased with increasing extraction temperature. The contents of acidic polysaccharides were not significantly different despite the extraction time increasing from 0.5 hours to 6 hours. To estimate the rehydration rate of the freeze dried polysaccharide, the extracted acidic polysaccharide fraction powder was determined the amount of soluble acidic polysaccharides by carbazole-sulfuric acid method again. The rehydration rate of acidic polysaccharides from water-extract of red ginseng marc at room temperature was 100%. On the other hand, the rehydration rate of acidic polysaccharide of red ginseng marc at boiling temperature was about 50%. The rehydration rate of acidic polysaccharides from water-extract of white ginseng marc at room temperature was 50%. The rehydration rate of acidic polysaccharide of red ginseng marc at boiling temperature was about 40%. The rate of soluble acidic polysaccharide of Red Ginseng is higher than that of White Ginseng. We can find out the maximum extraction method of soluble acidic polysaccharide from ginseng marc.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimum conditions for extraction of acidic polysaccharide from red ginseng marc produced by manufacturing alcoholic and water extract from red ginseng. Extraction efficacy of acidic polysaccharide from dried red ginseng marc was higher than that before drying. The appropriate conditions for the extraction of acidic polysaccharide from red ginseng marc were particle size under 3.35 mm after drying red ginseng marc, 1∼2 hours of extraction time and 2∼3 extraction times, respectively. The amount of acidic polysaccharide in water extract from red ginseng marc treated with $\alpha$-amylase and cellulase increased about 20∼50%. From the above resuts, we suggest that red ginseng marc produced by manufacturing alcoholic and water extract of red ginseng has higher potencies in the utilization of waste materials.

Preparation of ginseng concentrate with high content of acidic polysaccharide from white tail ginseng marc that was obtained after preparation of white tail ginseng extract. As a result of extraction of white tail ginseng under various concentrations of ethanol (0∼90%), both amount of acidic polysaccharide and extraction yield decreased by increasing the ethanol concentration. However, acidic polysaccharide extracted by water from white tail ginseng marc was increased in accordance with the increase of ethanol concentration. The optimal condition for the extraction of acidic polysaccharide from the marc was treatment of $\alpha$-amylase in 390∼650 unit/g residue/15 mL of distilled water for 5 min at 4$0^{\circ}C$. The amount of acidic polysaccharide in water extract of the marc was increased from 8.3% to 10.5% by the treatment of $\alpha$-amylase. A new ginseng extract mixture was manufactured by mixing 50% ethanol extract of white tail ginseng and water extract of alcoholic residue in the ratio of 8:2 (w/w). Crude saponin content and acidic polysaccharide content were 10.5% and 17%, respectively. The mixture had a same crude saponin content and twice acidic polysaccharide content comparing to 50% ethanol extract of white tail ginseng. It suggests that preparation of new ginseng concentrate with high content of acidic polysaccharide from white tail ginseng marc has high potencies in the utilization of waste material.

Red ginseng marc (RGM) has been used on primary industries using fertilizer or forage, and it mostly has been dumped. To improve utilization of RGM, the biological activities of RGM were examined. RGM was extracted and fractionated using various solvents and their biological activities were compared. The hexane fraction from the methanol extract of RGM (RGMMH) showed strong anti-cancer activity (58.56 ± 6.04% at 100 ㎍/mL) and anti-inflammatory effect (65.72 ± 1.33% at 100 ㎍/mL). But, oil extract of RGM extracted with hexane (RGMH) showed low activities (anti-cancer: 16.42 ± 3.33%, at 100 ㎍/mL, anti-inflammatory activity: 29.46 ± 2.10%, at 100 ㎍/mL). Their metabolites were analyzed using HPLC. Panaxydol known as anti-cancer compound of RGM was one of major compounds in RGMMH. Meanwhile, panaxydol was detected in trace amount in red ginseng marc oil (RGMH). In addition, RGMMH and RGMH showed big differences in HPLC profiling. This research suggests optimal extraction method of RGM oil.

A lipid-soluble extract in ginseng marc was prepared by n-hexane extraction to evaluate its antioxidant and anticancer potential. A hexane extract of ginseng marc (HEGM) possessed a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl free radical scavenging activity which was related to the amount of total phenolics. Also, HEGM showed a potent inhibitory activity on human non-small cell lung cancer (A549, $GI_{50}=34.0{\mu}g/mL$) and colon cancer (SNU-C4, $GI_{50}=45.2{\mu}g/mL$) cells proliferation in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner as did the hexane extract of ginseng with $GI_{50}$ values of $20.0{\mu}g/mL$ in A549 and $37.0{\mu}g/mL$ in SNU-C4. These results imply that HEGM can be utilized as an antioxidant and anticancer substance.
