When extracts of KMG (Korean mountain ginseng) leaf tea and fermented KMG leaf tea were compared, the fermented KMG leaf tea extract showedhigher activity at each stage of density. Among the material groups, the KMG extract hadthe least profound SOD-like activity, and similar SOD-like activities were noted in the fermented KMG, KMG leaf tea, and fermented KMG leaf tea extracts. With regard to nitrite scavenging ability at a pH of 1.2, the KMG, fermented KMG, and KMG leaf tea groups exhibited similar results, and at pH 3.0, the KMG and KMG leaf tea extract groups exhibited more profound nitrite scavenging ability compared to the fermented groups. In the case of HeLa cell treatments, the KMG and fermented KMG leaf tea extracts exhibited cancer cell propagation restraint rates in excess of 30%, at a density of 1 mg/mL. And MCF-7 cells treated with fermented KMG and KMG leaf tea showedsimilar propagation restraint rates at more than 27% of cancer cells, at a density of 1 mg/mL. Among the materials, the KMG extract hadthe lowest cancer cell propagation restraint rate at 21%, and the fermented KMG leaf tea extract had the highest rate at more than 70%.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of candy products added with hot-water extract of korean mountain ginsengs as the useful food materials. Water content of the products were $0.41{\sim}0.88\%$. Candy product with $5\%$ addition showed the highest content($87.5\%$) in Brix. pH ranges of the products were $5.50{\sim}5.56$. In terms of Hunters color value, L value was lower in $10\%$ candy product(56.40) than that of other products, while a and b value were increased in $10\%$ candy product. Sucrose was the major free sugar of candy products, and major organic acids were malic, tartaric and citric acid. Free amino acids were predominantly arginine, serine, aspartic acid and proline. The major minerals were K, Mn, Na and Mg. Antioxidant activity of candy products were about $64.28{\sim}70.88\%$ compared to $96.81\%$ of BHA(200 ppm). Result of sensory evaluation of $10\%$ candy products gained higher sensory score in overall acceptance, compared to the other products.

한국산 인삼과 장뇌삼, 중국산 장뇌삼 용매별 추출물을 처리하여 세포 독성을 비교 관찰한 결과, 모든 암세포주에서 농도 의존적인 세포 독성을 나타내었다. 자궁암 세포주인 HeLa에서는 hexane과 butanol 추출물이, 결장암 세포주인 HT29에서는 butanol 추출물이, 신장암 세포주인 A498에서는 hexane 추출물이 특히 높은 항암 효과를 보여주었다. 이상의 결과를 볼 때, 장뇌삼과 인삼은 모두 높은 항암 효과를 지니고 있었으며, 그 중에서도 한국산 장뇌삼의 암세포 성장 저해 효능이 가장 뛰어남을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the chemical composition and biological function of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves. The antioxidant activities of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves were determined by measuring their electron-donating ability based on their DPPH and nitrite-scavenging ability. The electron-donating abilities of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves (500 and 1,000 ppm) as determined by DPPH assay were 45.6 and 85.1%, respectively. The nitrite scavenging ability of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves (500 and 1,000 ppm) at pH 6.0 were 32.8 and 51.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the nitrite scavenging activity increased in a dose-dependent manner at all pH values. The effects of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves on Male Sprague-Dawley rats were also evaluated. To accomplish this, the rats were divided into three groups (A: normal diet group, B: high fat diet group and C: high fat diet supplemented with tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves group). The anti-obesity effects of tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves were then evaluated. The serum total lipid, total cholesterol and triglyceride contents in C group were lower than those of B group; however, these differences were not statistically significant. The HDL-cholesterol content was significantly higher in the C group than in the other groups. Taken together the results of this study suggest that tea made from mountain-cultivated ginseng leaves possesses antioxidant activity and improves lipid metabolism.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant activities and ginsenoside compositions of 4-year-old cultured ginseng roots (4CGR), 4-year-old mountain ginseng roots (4MGR) and leaves (4MGL), and 8-year-old mountain ginseng roots (MGR) and leaves (8MGL). Ginseng root and leaves were extracted with water and 80% ethanol. Crude saponin content of 4CGR was 3.85% (d.b.) and the contents of 4MGR, 4MGL, 8MGR and 8MGL were 6.75, 8.57, 6.53 and 7.54% (d.b.), respectively. 4CGR showed the highest content of ginsenoside-$Rh_1$ (6.07 mg/g), 4MGR showed the highest content of ginsenoside-$Rb_1$ (11.63 mg/g), 4MGL showed the highest content of ginsenoside-Re (24.35 mg/g), 8MGR showed the highest content of ginsenoside-$Rh_1$ (19.77 mg/g), and 8MGL showed the highest content of ginsenoside-Re (20.43 mg/g). Total antioxidant activity (AEAC) was ranged from 5.56 at 4MGR to 20.67 mg AA eq/g at 8MGL.

The highest total free amino acid content was 12.46 mg/g in Korean white ginseg(P) and the lowest total free amino acid content was 6.86 mg/g in Korean mountain ginseng (Kㅡ6) The content of arginine in a Korean white ginseng(Y) was 8.77 mg/g Arginine was 77.80% of total free amino acids in a Korean mountin ginseng (KM2) The amount of histidine and methionine in Korean mountain ginsengs were higher than any other ginsengs. The highest amount of threonine and lysine were observed in Korean white ginseng and Chinese mountain ginseng respectively, The contents of glycine in Korean mountain ginseng and korean white ginseng were higher than Chinses mountain ginseng. There is no significant difference between two mountain ginsengs and Korean white ginseng.

Mountain cultivated ginseng (MCG) is a type of Panax ginseng C. A. Mayer, grown in the mountains by artificial seeding. In general, it has been known that the biophysical activities of MCG is greater than that of ginseng. However, the in vivo efficacy of MCG on cancer has not been studied. In this study, we investigated the anti-carcinogenic effect of MCG and ginseng using the 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol- 13-acetate (TPA) two stage mouse skin carcinogenesis model. Six weeks of female ICR mice were divided into control, MCG, and ginseng diet groups and were subjected into two different experimental protocols. In the first study, each experimental diet was fed with TPA promotion for 24 weeks. The result showed that supplementation of MCG reduced tumor incidence, tumor multiplicity, and tumor size compared to those of the control and ginseng groups. In the second study, 3 groups of mice were supplied with each diet 4 weeks before DMBA tumor initiation, until the end of experiment. The result showed that tumor incidence, tumor multiplicity, and tumor size were reduced in the ginseng diet group compared to those of the control and MCG groups. TPA-induced BrdU incorporation was also significantly reduced in the ginseng diet group. Taken together, these results suggest that MCG is chemotherapeutic, whereas ginseng has a chemopreventative effect on mouse skin cancer.
