Abstract
Korean mountain ginseng roots were freeze-dried at $-70^{\circ}C$ and extracted by different extracting solution conditions to investigate chemical compositions of extracts. The soluble solid content of the extract from $7.04\~13.45\%\;and\;50\%$ EtOH and MeOH extracts were higher than those of other extracts. $100\%\;water\;and\;90\%$ EtOH extracts gave the highest Brix with $19.98\%$\;and\;19.65\%$, respectively. pH of the extracts were ranged from $5.82\~6.60$. Browning color at 470 nm of the extract were high value in 50$\%$ EtOH extract. In case of Hunter's color value, L value of extract was higher in $100\%$ water extract (21.28) than EtOH extract $(17.18\~21.02)$, a and b values of extract were the highest in $100\%$ water (-0.12) and $90\%$ MeOH extract (1.34). The contents of free sugars in the EtOH extract were increased with the ethanol concentration. Sucrose contents of $90\%$ EtOH and MeOH extracts were 6,159 mg/100 g and 5,238 mg/100 g. Major organic acids of the extract were citric and malic acids. Major free amino acids of the extract were L-arginine, L-proline, $\gamma$ -amino-n-butyric acid, alanine and aspartic acid. The highest ginsenoside content was shown to be about $10.50\%\;in\;90\%$ MeOH extract. Major minerals of extract were P, K, Na, Mg and Ca.
