The antioxidative action of petroleum ether, chloroform, chloroform-methamol (2 : 1, v/v), methanol and methanol-water extracts of Panax ginseng roots in the autoxidation of mixed methyl esters of unsaturated fatty acids (MEUFA) was investigated in vitro. All of the extracts of Panax ginseng roots possessed antioxidative activity and inhibited the formation of hydroperoxides in the autoxidation of mixed methyl esters of unsaturated fatty acids (MEUEA). The induction period in the autoxidation of MEUFA was extended by the addition of each extract. The antioxidative activity was more prominent with chloroform and chloroform-methanol (2 : 1, v/v) extracts than with other extracts. The antioxidative activity of each extract estimated by Olcott's oven test and the measurement of peroxide value (POV) showed a similar tendency. From the results obtained, it was conclude that extracts of Panax ginseng roots had remarkable antioxidative activity in the autoxidation of MEUFA in vitro.

Two kinds of ginseng extracts were prepared and their brown color and radical scavenging activity were evaluated. The extract prepared by decoction after steaming exhibited deeper brown color and stronger radical scavenging activity than the extract prepared by decoction only. The difference in color and radical scavenging activity was greater in white ginseng than in fresh ginseng. Steaming white ginseng for 3 h was equivalent to 45 h of decoction in its brown color and radical scavenging activity. Consequently, we believe steaming process is better method than decoction to increase the biological activity of ginseng.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ingestion of rabies and ginseng fruit extracts on alcohol hangover, liver damage protection, fatigue recovery, and physical strength improvement. A total of 64 volunteers aged over 20 were participated in this study and the randomized and repeated measures design method was used to divide a group of participants with a random assignment. All participants were divided into 4 groups (n=16) treated with hoveni dulcis thunb extract + ginseng berry extract (ARI 1000), hoveni dulcis thunb extract, ginseng berry extract, and placebo. As a result of respiratory alcohol concentration change, the group treated with ARI 1000 was significantly lower than the group treated with hoveni dulcis thunb extract, ginseng berry extract, and placebo in 1 hour of drinking, and significantly lower than the placebo group in 2 hours and 3 hours of drinking (p<0.05). After 2 and 3 hours of alcohol consumption, blood alcohol concentration of the group treated with rabies ARI 1000 was significantly lower than those of the other 3 groups (p <0.05). In conclusion, ingestion of ARI 1000 before drinking may significantly reduce the respiratory and blood alcohol concentrations, which may induce an effect on the hangover effect.

The antioxidant effect of various concentration of Panax ginseng on pork and chicken breast was investigated in the condition of powder, water extract, ethanol extract and residue. Result showed that the antioxidant effect of each sample increased with increasing concentration of powder but the increment decreased with increasing concentration. Water extract and residue decreased lipid oxidation of pork and chicken breast. However, the effect did not increase proportionally with increasing concentration. Ethanol extract did not show a certain tendency in pork while it had an oxidation-promoting effect in chicken.

The antioxidant effects of 700 ppm ginseng extract, 100ppm caffeic acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, or ${\alpha}-topherol$ on the 1% linoleic acid aqueous buffer system was studied by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) and headspace oxygen. The compounds showed antioxidant activities in the following order: $caffeic\;acid{\geq}ferulic\;acid\;>\;{\alpha}-tocopherol$>ginseng extract>vanillic acid, with the oxidation inhibition ratio of 63.5, 62.9, 52.3, 51.2 and 5.6% of the control according to MDA results. The mixture of 100 ppm caffeic acid, 100 ppm ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and 700 ppm ginseng extract had a high oxidation inhibition ratio of 91.2%. Headspace oxygen results had a similar trend with the MDA results. Headspace oxygen results showed that the antioxidant activities were in order of ferulic acid>caffeic acid>${\alpha}-tocopherol$>ginseng extract>vanillic acid and headspace oxygen contents were 18.56, 17.78, 17.17, 16.65 and 15.95%, respectively.

This study was conducted to certify the effect of aqueous extracts from fifty medicinal plants on the activities of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in vitro. Each aqueous extract was prepared by combining one-part medicinal plants with twenty-parts distilled water at $80^{\circ}C$ for 8 h. Among the fifty medicinal plants, Allium sativum L. and Cinnamomum cassia Presl were regarded as an effective anti-hangover substance. Allium sativum L. extract increased ALDH activity more than 2 times compared with ADH activity, enhancing the acetaldehyde degradation. Cinnamomum cassia Presl extract dramatically inhibited ADH activity compared with ALDH activity, thus potently decreasing the acetaldehyde formation. ADH and ALDH activities were proportionally inhibited according to the increased concentration of Cinnamomum cassia Presl extract. The aqueous extract of Cinnamomum cassia Presl at a concentration of $45.33{\mu}g/mL$ inhibited ADH activity by 52.8% and ALDH activity by 11.0%.

Ginseng extracts were frnctionelod into several fractions with carious organic solvents, and the effects of these fractions on the activity of aminoacyl-tRHA synthetase was examined. Fractions which showed positive effect on the activity of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase were obtained both from white ginseng and red ginseng. The total methanol extract of whit ginseng and the ether extract from the total methanol extract of red ginseng gave Positive results. Therefore it may be Presumed that the Positive components have rather nonpolar nature.

Changes in weight, length, amino acids, organic acids and free sugars of soybean sprouts germinated with extract of Panax ginseng(PGE, 100∼400 ppm) were investigated. PGE increased the weight and length of soybean sprouts. Content of total amino acid in soybean sprout germinated at 100 ppm of PGE after cultivation for 3 days was the most abundant and then decreased by increasing the concentration of PGE. Content of aspartic acid was increased with culture time, but that of glutamic acid was shown to be an opposite trend. Content of total free sugar was increased by increasing culture time and not affected by concentration of PGE. Content of sucrose in control group during growth of soybean sprout was decreased, but sucrose contents in PGE groups were increased to 3 days and decreased thereafter. However, the other sugars were continuously increased for 4 days. Content of total organic acids was the most abundant in soybean sprouts germinated with 200 ppm of PGE and cultured for 3 days. Phytic acid was a major organic acid, showing the range of 45 to 60% for total organic acids. In conclusion, PGE as sprouting water of soybean was effective to increase of growth, contents of amino acids and organic acids in soybean sprouts, indicating that PGE accelerated the quality of soybean sprouts.

We investigated inhibitory effects of ginseng extracts against compound 48/80-induced responses in rat peritoneal mast cells. Initially, we optimized extraction condition with various temperature and time for recovery of high saponin contents in extracts. Using a primary rat peritoneal mast cells, we examined whether ginseng extracts inhibit compound 48/80-induced histamine release form rat mast cells. High red ginseng-spercific saponin containing extracts were recovered at $85^{\circ}C$ for 48 hr, and had no cytotoxicity with relatively high dose of extracts on rat peritoneal mast cells(<0.5 mg/ml). For examine of ameliorate effects of mast cells responses by ginseng extract, we pre-treated the extracts or saline to mast cells and treated compound 48/80. In results, compound 48/80 treatment was increased histamine release (approximately 30%) from mast cells than normal group, whereas ginseng treatment was completely inhibited histamine release. These results suggested that ginseng extracts inhibits the compound 48/80-induced mast cell activation, and ginseng extracts is a candidate for effective therapeutic tools of allergic diseases.
