Ginseng has been used as a traditional herb in Asian countries for thousands of years. It contains a large number of active ingredients including steroidal saponins, protopanaxadiols, and protopanaxatriols, collectively known as ginsenosides. In the last few decades, the antioxidative and anticancer effects of ginseng, in addition to its effects on improving immunity, energy and sexuality, and combating cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and neurological diseases, have been studied in both basic and clinical research. Ginseng could be a valuable resource for future drug development; however, further higher quality evidence is required. Moreover, ginseng may have drug interactions although the available evidence suggests it is a relatively safe product. This article reviews the bioactive compounds, global distribution, and therapeutic potential of plants in the genus Panax.

Background: The chemical constituents of Panax ginseng are changed by processing methods such as steaming or sun drying. In the present study, the chemical change of Panax ginseng induced by steaming was monitored in situ. Methods: Samples were separated from the same ginseng root by incision during the steaming process, for in situ monitoring. Sampling was sequentially performed in three stages; FG (fresh ginseng) ${\rightarrow}$ SG (steamed ginseng) ${\rightarrow}$ RG (red ginseng) and 60 samples were prepared and freeze dried. The samples were then analyzed to determine 43 constituents among three stages of P. ginseng. Results: The results showed that six malonyl-ginsenoside (Rg1, Rb1, Rb3, Rc, Rd, Rb2) and 15 amino acids were decreased in concentration during the steaming process. In contrast, ginsenoside-Rh1, 20(S)-Rg2, 20(S, R)-Rg3 and Maillard reaction product such as AF (arginine-fructose), AFG (arginine-fructose-glucose), and maltol were newly generated or their concentrations were increased. Conclusion: This study elucidates the dynamic changes in the chemical components of P. ginseng when the steaming process was induced. These results are thought to be helpful for quality control and standardization of herbal drugs using P. ginseng and they also provide a scientific basis for pharmacological research of processed ginseng (Red ginseng).

홍삼 추출액 제품의 변패원인균을 분리동정하고 생화학적 특성 및 병원성 유무를 판단하였다. 분리된 5가지의 균주는 각각 Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus sp., Paenibacillus sp., Micrococcus sp., Pseudomonas sp.로 동정되었으며, 이 중 Bacillus subtilis와 Paenibacillus sp., Micrococcus sp.는 홍삼 추출액의 원재료로부터 기인한 내생포자를 형성하는 내열성 균주로 추정되었다. 분리된 군주 대부분은 낮은 염도와 중성 pH 조건에서 잘 자라며, 영양요구성이 단순한 호중온성 세균들이었다. 또한 용혈성과 설사유발성을 나타내지 않았으며, 흰쥐 (rat)를 이용한 피부혈관 투과성 항진작용 실험에서도 음성을 나타내어, 수행한 실험 결과 내에서는 분리된 5균주 모두 병원성이 없는 것으로 판단되었다.

Fresh ginseng roots were aged in an oven at $80^{\circ}C$ for 14 d. The in vitro and in vivo antioxidant activities of this aged ginseng, in comparison with those of the white and red ginsengs, were evaluated. In in vitro antioxidant assays, the ethanolic extracts from aged ginseng showed significantly higher free radical scavenging activity and reducing power than those of the white and red ginsengs. In in vivo antioxidant assays, mice were fed a high fat diet supplemented with white, red, or aged ginseng powders. High fat feeding resulted in a significant increase in lipid peroxidation and a substantial decrease in antioxidant enzymes activities in the animals. However, diet supplementation of ginseng powders, particularly aged ginseng, markedly reduced lipid peroxidation and enhanced the antioxidant enzymes activities. The results illustrate that the aged ginseng has greater in vitro and in vivo antioxidant capacity than the white and red ginsengs. The aged ginseng also showed considerably higher total saponin, phenolic, and flavonoid contents, indicating that its antioxidant capacity may have been partly due to its high levels of antioxidant compounds. This new ginseng product may be useful as a functional food with strong antioxidant potential.

진생베리는 진세노사이드 Re을 다량함유하고 있고 항염, 항암, 혈당강하 및 미백효과가 있다. 본 연구에서는 Rhizopus Oligosporus 균주를 이용하여 진생베리 발효공정을 확립하였으며 진생베리 발효물에 대한 화장품 약리활성을 분석하였다. 발효에 의한 인삼 베리 추출물의 전자 공여 능력은 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 81%를 나타냈다. ABTS⁺ 라디칼 소거능 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 100.2% 효과를 나타내었다. 피부 미백과 관련된 티로시나 아제 억제 효과는 1,000 ㎍ /mL 농도에서 57%였다. 피부 주름과 관련된 엘라스타제 억제효과는 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 47%였다. 또한, 콜라게나제 억제 효과는 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 33%였다. 이상의 결과로부터 진생베리 발효물이 항염과 미백, 주름개선 효능을 가진다고 판단된다. 따라서 진생베리 발효물이 향우 항염 및 항노화 화장품 원료로서의 이용 가능성이 매우 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) is a traditional herb used across the world to treat various diseases. Although, red ginseng is this herb's most famous product and has demonstrated diverse pharmacological activities, white ginseng (WG) is another ginseng product that is made fresh and individually regulated in Eastern Asia. Red and white ginseng show different characteristics due to distinct processing steps despite originating from the same plant, and the drug interactions induced by WG have not been well documented. Selegiline is a selective monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor used as an antidyskinetic and antiparkinsonian agent. Here we developed a quantification method for selegiline in mouse plasma using a C8 stationary phase in triple quadrupole-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The validated LC-MS/MS method was successfully applied to determine the potential interaction with WG extract (0.1 g/kg/day) pre-administered for 4 weeks. The $AUC_{0-240min}$ of selegiline was altered due to a decrease in the absorption of selegiline with repeated administration of WG extract.

수출전략형 할랄식품 개발에 있어서 소비자의 니즈분석과 소비성향 파악은 시장진출의 필수적인 과정이다. 본 연구는 인도네시아 무슬림 소비자의 인삼 및 홍삼제품에 대한 인식과 태도 및 이용실태를 조사하였다. 온라인 시스템을 이용한 웹 기반 설문조사방법으로 인도네시아에 거주하는 성인 남녀 무슬림 소비자 200명을 대상으로 인삼·홍삼제품에 대한 인지도, 섭취경험, 선호 및 비선호요인, 효능인식수준, 구매현황과 구매한 제품에 대한 만족도와 재구매 의사 등을 조사하였다. 연구결과 인도네시아 무슬림 소비자의 인삼·홍삼제품 인지도는 각각 58%, 51%정도로 나타났다. 특히, 남자, 20-30대, 소득이 중·상인 소비자에서 인삼·홍삼제품에 대한 인지도가 상대적으로 높았다. 인도네시아 무슬림 소비자가 인삼·홍삼제품을 섭취하는 이유는 건강증진, 기분전환, 질병예방의 순이었으며, 섭취경험이 있는 소비자는 인삼·홍삼제품의 효능에 대한 인식도가 매우 높았다. 특히, 20-30대는 40-50대 대비 건강증진, 기분전환, 주위권유 등의 이유로 인삼이나 홍삼제품을 섭취하며, 인터넷을 통하여, 면역력 증진, 피로개선, 남자 정력증강에 대한 효능을 알고 있었다. 인도네시아 무슬림 소비자의 인삼이나 홍삼 제품에 대한 만족도는 건강증진, 맛과 향, 포장규격과 디자인 순으로 높았으나 가격, 상품종류의 다양성은 개선할 부분으로 나타났다. 더욱이 지인 추천의향과 지속구입의향은 모두 높은 편으로 나타나 향후 할랄인증 인삼·홍삼제품 소비자의 세분화와 니즈분석을 통한 전략적인 제품개발이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Korea Ginseng Corporation is a global ginseng company, owning one of the most leading brands in Korea, CheongKwanJang. Although Korea Ginseng Corporation was an undoubted market leader in the red ginseng market, it faced a new challenge in 2012 due to the changes in market environment. In order to keep its market leadership in a saturated and competitive market, the company decided to extend its product lines alongside the launches of new brands. In this article, the authors demonstrate the development process of the company's brand portfolio strategy to reveal how the company turned CheongKwanJang into a mega-brand. Also, this paper explores the impact of CheongKwanJang's reputation on new brands, thereby illustrating how the company successfully managed to introduce new products outside of the red ginseng category, ranging from organic food to a pet food market.

The GUE6 was isolated from ethyl acetate fraction of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and confirmed as liquiritin. Liquiritin(LQ) treated with ${\beta}$-glucosidase from plant(Prunus dulcis) and bacteria(Lactobacillus pentosus) crude enzymes. The ${\beta}$-glucosidase activities of crude enzymes were 229.8 U/g(Prunus dulcis) and 19.17 U/ml(Lactobacillus pentosus), respectively. Liquiritin(LQ) biotransformed into liquiritigenin(LQG) by ${\beta}$-glucosidase from crude enzymes. The EtOAc fraction(GUE6) and the converted product were identified as liquiritin and liquiritigenin, by TLC chromatogram, $^{1}H$-NMR and $^{13}C$-NMR.

Ginseng(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is a perennial herbaceous plant which grows very slowly. It takes about 3 to 4 years from seeding to collecting the ripe seeds and the ginseng propagation is very difficult. and so, it is very difficult to breed ginseng plant. Ginseng tissue culture was started from at 1960, and ginseng commercial product by in vitro callus culture was saled, however upto now, regenerants were not planted to soil normally. Recently, plant genetic engineering to produce transgenic plants by introducing useful genes has been advanced greatly. In a present paper, transformation of ginseng plants was achieved by co-cultivation with Agrobacterium harboring the binary vector coding Proteinase-II gene, which confer resistant or tolerant to insect pests, The binary vector for transformation was constructed with disarmed Ti-plasmid and with double 35S promoter. The NPT II gene and introduced genes of the transgenic ginseng plants were successfully identified by the PCR. Especially the transgenic ginseng plants were regenerated using new techniques such as repetitive single somatic embryogenesis.
