Abstract

A new and rapid method for the hydrolysis of ginsenosides to panaxadiol or panaxatriol was developed. It is based on the microwave oven reaction, which is high temperature and high-pressure reaction. The optimal hydrolysis time using 5% $H_2SO_4$ solution was found at 10 min PTFE reaction vessel in microwave oven, which is more than 30 times faster than the conventional hydrolysis method.
