To investigate the effect of ginseng extracts on the changes of flllidity and lysis of liposome reverse phase evaporation vesicle (REV) was employed as model membrane and methylene blue was used as photosensitizer. Fluoresence polarization (P vaule) that represented fluidity of liposome was increased by photooxidation. All of the ginseng saponin inhibited the increasing rate of P value; the order of effect was ginseng water extract>biol saponin>triol saponin>crude saponin. In trapped G-6-P% measurement for lysis of liposome, ginseng water extract and crude saponin promoted the lysis of liposome. Therefore, we thought that ginseng extracts acted as both antioxidant and detergent.
