Abstract

In this study, quality in terms of the surface color and constituents of white ginseng prepared with different peeling time by using barker were investigated. The color of the white ginseng become better according to the increasing of peeling time. The components, such as contents of crude fat, crude protein, fatty acids, amino acids were slightly increased by the peeling, but carbohydrate and sugars were decreased. The contents of crude saponin and ginsenosides were markedly influenced. Compared with intact ginseng roots, peeling of ginseng roots resulted in a substantial decrease (approximately 20-30%) in total ginsenoside contents. The results suggest that peeling for white ginseng preparation leads to improve the surfacecolor formation of roots, while lose the contents of ginsenosides as the major active ingredients of ginseng.

본 연구는 박피시간에 따른 백삼의 색택과 일반성분 및 사포닌 함량의 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 백삼 표피의 색택은 박피시간이 길어질수록 양호하였다. 일반성분인 조지방, 조단백질, 지방산 및 아미노산은 박피에 따라 약간 증가하였으나 탄수화물 및 유리당은 감소하였다. 조사포닌과 ginsenosides 함량은 박피에 따라 크게 감소하였다. 박피 인삼의 ginsenosides는 무박피에 비하여 약 20-30% 감소 하였다. 이러한 결과는 백삼의 박피가 색택을 좋게 하지만 인삼의 주요 유효성분인 사포닌 함량의 현저한 감소를 초래하였다.
