This research is to figure out the manufacture proper1ies and the effect of adding red ginseng powder into cookies. When adding red ginseng powder into wheat, there was no significant change in moisture content while the amount of WRC and AWFC increased significantly. In the manufacturing and quality characteristics, there was no noticeable change in thickness and spreadability. Also, wheat cookies containing red ginseng powder didn't show significant differences either and the control plot had the biggest diameter. The change of chromaticity showed that L-value and b-value seemed to significantly decrease while a-value increased a lot In other words, the more ginseng powder was added, the darker its external colour became. In the organic characteristics, the control plot showed the best result in volume, crust, top grain and in almost every part. The volume had the most satisfying result with 6% of red ginseng powder added, and there was not much difference among the groups added with red ginseng powder. Generally, adding up tp 12% of ginseng powder was found best when making cookies.

In this paper, we present evidence that the red ginseng from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer inhibits the recurrence of advanced gastric cancer and shows immunomodulatory activities during postoperative chemotherapy. Flow cytometric analyses for peripheral T-lymphocyte subsets showed that the red ginseng powder restored CD4 levels to the initial preoperative values during postoperative chemotherapy. Depression of CD3 during postoperative chemotherapy was also inhibited by the red ginseng powder ingestion. This study demonstrated a 5-year disease free survival and overall survival rate that was significantly higher in patients taking the red ginseng powder during postoperative chemotherapy vs. control $(68.2\%\;vs.\;33.3\%,\;76.4\%\;vs.\;38.5\%,$ respectively, p<0.05). The mean value of serum IL-10 of the ginseng group was reduced progressively during the postoperative chemotherapy. The values of the ginseng group were close to that of the control group on postoperative months 3. These studies suggest that the red ginseng may have some immunomodulatory properties associated with CD3 and CD4 activity and interleukin 10 during postoperative chemotherapy and some potential of improving prognosis in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

The objective of this study was to compare the color and microstructure of powder, redness, brownness, and antioxidative activity in extruded ginseng, white ginseng and red ginseng extracts. The colors of extruded dry ginseng powder (moisture content 30%, barrel temperature $110^{\circ}C$, and screw speed 200 rpm) were similar to those of red ginseng. Intact cell wall structure was examined in dried root ginseng at $70^{\circ}C$ (A), white ginseng with skin (D), white ginseng without skin (E), and red ginseng (F) under a scanning electron microscope. The cell wall was not detected in samples B and C (dry ginsengs extruded with 25% and 30% moisture contents, respectively). Intact starch granules were detected in samples A, D, and E under a scanning electron microscope. Melted starch granules were detected in samples B, C, and F. Colors (L, a, b) of 50% EtOH extracts were similar in samples C and F. Browniness and redness of extracts were high in extruded dry ginseng and red ginseng extracts. Extruded dry ginseng (B) showed higher electron donation ability and phenolic content than the other samples.

For quality control of components in Korean red ginseng powder and extract, a new method for simultaneous quantification of 12 ginsenosides ($Rg_1$, Re, Rf, $Rh_1$, $Rg_2$[S], $Rg_2$[R], $Rb_1$, Rc, $Rb_2$, Rd, $Rg_3$[S], and $Rg_3$[R]) was studied. Compared to the official method for quantification of marker substances (ginsenosides $Rg_1$ and $Rb_1$), the proposed methods were guaranteed by in-house method validation. Several criteria such as linearity, specificity, precision and accuracy were evaluated. For red ginseng powder, recovery (averaging 95% to 105%) was calculated, and analysis of variance was carried out to estimate the relative standard deviation (0.20% to 2.12%). For red ginseng extract, the average recovery rate was 90% to 99% and the relative standard deviation was 0.39% to 2.40%. These results indicate that the proposed method could be used in the laboratory for determination of 12 ginsenosides in red ginseng powder and extract. In addition, this method was found to be suitable for quality control of ginseng products and potentially offer time and cost benefits.

A type of Korean traditional cookies, yackwa is composed of ingredients which serve as good medicine to people. Further, it has a priceless value and possibility to be a healthy functional dessert. For this study, we developed variable yackwa, containing red-ginseng powder and green tea powder, in order to target the foreign market as well as to investigate the perception and preference of yackwa. The test sample for the control group, yackwa is made of flour, sugar, baking powder, sesame oil and alcohol. For the experimental group, yackwa contains red-ginseng and green tea powder (3, 6, 9, 12%). The investigation period was May 14th, 2013 and the total number of participants was 100. The investigation applied a consumer survey method by filling out a questionnaire while tasting 9 kinds of yackwa samples. They were used for frequency, one-way ANOVA and Pearson's correlation analysis with SPSS 19.0. In the yackwa perception survey, the result indicated that 52.0% of the customers replied 'Do not know well' and 'Do not know at all' which conveys that the perception of yackwa is very low. In contrast, the perception of the red-ginseng and green tea which are functional ingredients is high and the customers tend to prefer the taste and flavor of green tea than red-ginseng. And they prefer the yackwa containing 3% of red-ginseng and green tea powder compared to other ratio contents in the overall preference, color, taste, flavor, odor, degree of greasiness and texture. When people who have a higher perception of yackwa, they tended to prefer the color of red-ginseng yackwa and dislike the color of green tea yackwa. And the more people prefer the taste of green tea, the higher in overall preference, color, taste, flavor, and odor preference.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of the bread with red ginseng powder(RG). Four different powder concentration levels of 0, 3, 6, and $9\%$ were added to flour to make the bread. The appearance, pH, water holding capacity, specific volume, color, texture, and sensory properties were analyzed. pH of bread with RG had no difference according to the content of the red ginseng powder. The specific volume of the bread containing $0,\;3,\;6\%$ were bigger than that of the bread with $RG-9\%$. The water holding capacity of the bread with $RG-9\%$ was the highest. As the amounts of RG increased, L-values of the bread crumb were decreased and a- and b-values were increased. As a result of texture measuring by texture analyzer, hardness and gumminess were not affected by the addition of RG. Also, springiness, cohesiveness, and chewiness were not significantly different among the control, $RG-3\%\;and\;RG-9\%$. In sensory evaluation, color, flavor, taste and overall acceptability in the bread with $RG-9\%$ were significantly lower than the control and the other groups. On the other hand, the best result for sensory characteristics showed when red ginseng powder at $3\%$ level was added to the bread.

The effects of red ginseng powder on hepatotoxicity in $benzo(\alpha)pyrene\;[B(\alpha)P]$-treated mice were investigated. Male ICR mice were pretreated with red ginseng powder (50 or 100 mg/kg/day, for 5 days, intraperitoneally) before treatment with $B(\alpha)P$ (0.5 mg/kg, i.p, single dose). The ability of red ginseng powder to protect against oxidative damage to the mouse liver was examined by determining the level of lipid peroxide, glutathione, and the antioxidant enzyme activities. The glutathione content depleted by $B(\alpha)P$ were significantly increased by red ginseng powder, but elevation of lipid peroxide content induced by $B(\alpha)P$ was decreased by red ginseng powder. The increased activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase after $B(\alpha)P$-treatment were decreased by the treatment of red ginseng Powder; however, glutathione S-transferase activity depleted by $B(\alpha)P$ were significantly increased. These results suggest that red ginseng powder can protect against $B(\alpha)P$ intoxification through its antioxidant properties.

To Identify phenolic components known to exist in Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) by GC/MS, three derivatization methods were employed for their analyses. First, phenolic components in ether soluble acidic fraction prepared from Korean red ginseng powder were taimethylsilylated. Secondly, phenolic acids in the same fraction were esterified with diazomethane followed by trlmethylsilylation. Thirdly, acidic components in ginseng powder were extracted and esterified concurrently by methanolic sulfuric acid, followed by fractionation of phenolic components with Silica Sep-Paka and trimethylsilylatlon. All phenolic components found in ginseng except gen tisic acid were identified by retention times and mass spectrums of standards. Besides, 5 phenolic components including salicyl alcohol and 1-H-indole-2-carboxylic acid were first identified from Korea an red ginseng by GC/MS.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different levels of red ginseng mare or Korean mistletoe powder on growth performance and physicochemical properties of thigh meat in broiler. A total of 200 broiler chicks were divided into five groups were fed a basal diet (control), basal diet supplemented with 0.5% red ginseng mare (T1), red ginseng mare 1% added (T2), Korean mistletoe 0.5% added (T3), Korean mistletoe 0.5% added (T4) for five weeks. Growth performance and proximate composition of chicken thigh meat were not influenced by all treatments, except for mortality and crude fat, which was significantly lower in all treatments with red ginseng mare or Korean mistletoe powder compared to control. Dietary red ginseng mare and Korean mistletoe supplementation had no significantly effects on pH, WHC, shear force, CIE $L^*$, $b^*$ values, triglyceride and glucose but TBARS values total cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol were decreased (P<0.05) by the addition red ginseng mare and Korean mistletoe powder. CIE $a^*$ values increased significantly with added red ginseng mare and Korean mistletoe powder relative to the control (P<0.05). It was concluded that the addition of red ginseng mare and Korean mistletoe powder revealed minor improvements in the lipid oxidative stability of chicken meat.
