Korean red ginseng and water extract residue of red ginseng roots were treated with dry heat and incorporated in PDA medium to examine the effect of the materials on induced tolerance against mercury chloride and mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum. Ginseng residue was not effective in the inducement of tolerance to mercury chloride regardless of dry heat treatment. However, the heat treatment of ginseng and ginseng residues stimulated the mycelial growth of the fungus. The materials responsible for the detoxification appeared to be water-soluble. The stimulation of the fungal mycelial growth on the media by the heat treatment was highest in the water extract of ginseng. Due to the heat treatment, the mycelial growth was also slightly increased in n-hexane and methanol extracts of ginseng, compared with the ginseng fractions without dry heat treatment.

It has been reported that Korean Red Ginseng has been manufactured for 1,123 y as described in the GoRyeoDoGyeong record. The Korean Red Ginseng manufactured by the traditional preparation method has its own chemical component characteristics. The ginsenoside content of the red ginseng is shown as Rg1: 3.3 mg/g, Re: 2.0 mg/g, Rb1: 5.8 mg/g, Rc:1.7 mg/g, Rb2: 2.3 mg/g, and Rd: 0.4 mg/g, respectively. It is known that Korean ginseng generally consists of the main root and the lateral or fine roots at a ratio of about 75:25. Therefore, the red ginseng extract is prepared by using this same ratio of the main root and lateral or fine roots and processed by the historical traditional medicine prescription. The red ginseng extract is prepared through a water extraction ($90^{\circ}C$ for 14-16 h) and concentration process (until its final concentration is 70-73 Brix at $50-60^{\circ}C$). The ginsenoside contents of the red ginseng extract are shown as Rg1: 1.3 mg/g, Re: 1.3 mg/g, Rb1: 6.4 mg/g, Rc:2.5 mg/g, Rb2: 2.3 mg/g, and Rd: 0.9 mg/g, respectively. Arginine-fructose-glucose (AFG) is a specific amino-sugar that can be produced by chemical reaction of the process when the fresh ginseng is converted to red ginseng. The content of AFG is 1.0-1.5% in red ginseng. Acidic polysaccharide, which has been known as an immune activator, is at levels of 4.5-7.5% in red ginseng. Therefore, we recommended that the chemical profiles of Korean Red Ginseng made through the defined traditional method should be well preserved and it has had its own chemical characteristics since its traditional development.

The antioxidant activity of white ginseng was not recorded in Korea Functional Food Code, while its activity of red ginsengs was recorded. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and hepato protective effect of different ginsengs in H₂O₂-treated HepG2 cells. White and red ginseng were prepared from longitudinal section of the same fresh ginseng (4-year old). The whole parts of white and red ginsengs were separately extracted with 70% ethanol and distilled water respectively, at 70 ℃ to obtain therapeutic ginseng extracts namely, WDH (distilled water extract of white ginseng), WEH (70% ethanol extract of white ginseng), RDH (distilled water extract of red ginseng) and REH (70% ethanol extract of red ginseng). In this work, we have investigated the DPPH, hydroxyl radical, Fe²⁺-chelating activity, intracellular ROS scavenging capacity and lipid peroxidation of different ginsengs. All these extracts showed a dose dependent free-radical scavenging capacity and a ROS generation as well as lipid peroxidation was significantly reduced by treatment with bioactive extracts of white ginsengs (WDH) than red ginsengs. Additionally, white ginseng extracts (WDH) has dramatically increased intracellular antioxidant enzyme activities like superoxide dismutase and catalase in H₂O₂-treated HepG2 cells. All these results explain that administration of white ginseng is useful as herbal medicine than red ginseng for chemoprevention of liver damage.

한국담배인삼공사에서 제조된 홍삼제품류 9종에 대한 유효성분함량의 품질관리 연구 일환으로 조사포닌, vanillin-$H_2SO_4$ 비색법에 의한 총사포닌 및 HPLC에 의한 개별 ginsenoside의 함량을 조사하였다. 홍삼을 분말형태로 가공한 의료용분말, 삼분, 타브렛 및 캡슐제품은 사포닌함량, PD/PT 사포닌의 함유비율, ginsenoside의 함량과 조성패턴이 거의 유사하였다. 그러나 홍삼을 추출하여 그 농축물을 인스턴트 제품화시킨 정분, 삼정, 삼정차, 삼정환 및 삼차는 총사포닌함량뿐 아니라 PD/PT사포닌의 함유비율, ginsenoside의 함량과 조성패턴이 상이하였다. 따라서 홍삼제품류별로 사포닌함량과 패턴을 표준화시키고 원료삼으로부터 최종제품까지 제조과정별 품질관리를 수행함으로서 사포닌패턴과 함량이 균일한 제품생산이 가능할 것으로 믿어진다.

홍삼에 70% 알콜로 추출하고 남은 홍삼알코올박과 물로 추출하고 남은 홍삼물박은 거의 이용되지 않는데 이 홍삼박에는 다량의 산성다당체가 존재하므로 홍삼박으로부터 산성다당체를 효과적으로 추출할 수 있는 산업적으로 이용할 대량 생산제조공정에 대해서 조사하였다. 홍삼알코올박 및 홍삼물박 모두 건조전보다 건조후 산성다당체의 추출효율이 높았으며, 추출시간과 추출회수가 증가함에 따라 추출되는 산성다당체의 양이 증가하는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 생산제조공정으로서 홍삼박을 건조시킨 후 입자를 3.35 mm 이하로 분쇄하고, 추출온도는 8$0^{\circ}C$에서 1~2시간 추출하면서 추출회수는 2~3회가 최적인 것으로 사료된다. 또한 산성다당체의 추출 효율을 높이기 위해서는 홍삼박에 $\alpha$-amlyase 및 cellulase 효소를 처리했을 때 추출효율이 20~50%까지 높은 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, we investigeated the anticarcinogenicity of various types and ages of ginseng extracts as an extended study using Yun's anticarcinogenicity test. Fresh ginseng at 1.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6 years was dried and powdered. And white ginseng was processed in the same way that of fresh ginseng after removal fo the ginseng cortex and fine root. For red ginsneg, fresh ginseng was steamed and dried. Each ginseng powder was extracted and extracts was freeze dried. Newborn N:GP(S) mice were given a single subcutaneous injection of 0.5 mg of benzo(a)pyrene(BP). Various types and ages of ginseng extracts at 2.5mg/ml were orally administered. All the mice were sacrificed at the 9th week. The following results were obtained. In the dried fresh ginseng extract treated group, the incidence of lung adenoma induced by BP was 63.9% and its incidence was reduced to 48.3%, 52.5%, 51.8%, 47.5% and 44.1% after co-treatment with 1.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6 year-dried fresh ginseng, respectively. The incidence of lung adenoma induced by BP on the white ginseng extract treated group was 41.3% and decreased to 31.0%, 46.0%, 44.0% and 26.5% after co-treatment with 3, 4, 5 and 6 year-white ginseng, respectively. In the red ginseng extract treated group, the incidence of lung adenoma induced by BP was 47.5% and its incidence diminished to 40.7%, 35.0%, 30.1%, 30.0% and 26.3% after co-treatment with 1.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6 year-red ginseng, respectively. From the above results, we concluded that a statistically significant anticarcinogenic effect was observed in extracts of 6 year-dried fresh ginseng, 6 year-white ginseng, and 4, 5 and 6 year-red ginseng and it is suggested that the anticarcinogenicity of ginseng varies according to the types and ages Key words Ginseng extract, types and ages. anticarcinogenic, newborn mice, lung tumor.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of red ginseng extract on development of pepsinogen 1 decrased pyloric glands in experimental stomach carcinogenesis in Sprague-Dawley male rats. Sequential quantitative analyses (by ABC immunohistochemical staining) were made of pepsinogen 1 decreased pyloric glands (PDPG) after treating rats first with a single dose (160 mg/kg) N-methyl-N'-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and then with N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (ENNG) (100ug/ml of drinking water) as a second gastric carcinogen (or promoter).

본 연구의 목적은 홍미삼의 기능성 연구의 일환으로 총 페놀성 화합물의 추출방법과 DPPH에 대한 수소공여능, linoleic acid의 산화방지활성 및 LDL에 의한 항산화활성 등을 중심으로 연구한 결과이다. 홍미삼에 60% 에탄올를 첨가하여 추출회수별 총 페놀성 화합물을 조사한 결과 3회까지 추출했을 때 대부분이 추출되었기 때문에 추출횟수는 3회가 적당한 것으로 판단되었다. 60% 에탄올 추출액의 수율은 3회까지 추출했을 때 약 37.35%가 추출되었다. 추출 용매에 따른 총 페놀성 화합물의 추출 효율은 물 추출구를 100%로 했을 때, 60% 에탄올 용액으로 추출한 뒤 농축하여 물로 부피를 재조정한 시험구는 122%로 조사되었다. 항산화활성 조사에서 DPPH에 대한 수소공여능에서 시간이 경과함에 따라 항산화 활성이 약간씩 증가하나 활성은 약한 편이었다. Linoliec acid 산화에 대한 산화억제 효과는 1,500 ppm 농도에서 약 72.23%의 저해율을 나타났으며, LDL에 대한 산화방지 효과는 250 ppm 농도에서 그 저해율이 약 22.52%로 나타났다.

In order to investigate the inferior factor of red ginseng quality, the contents of various chemical components, physico-chemical properties and arrangement state of ginseng cells were observed. Contents of total reducing sugar, reducing sugar, crude protein, crude fibre and specific gravity of inside white part of red ginseng were less than those of normal part. But differences in content of crude saponin, HPLC pattern of ginsenosides and reducing ability for DP P H(1,1-dipheny 1-2-picrylhydrazyl) between normal and inside white part of red ginseng were not found. The optical density of 1 water extract of normal part of red ginseng did not differ from that of inside white 1 part of red ginseng, but the visible and UV absorbance of acid hydrolyzate of normal red ginseng showed higher than those of inside white part of red ginseng. The differences in the internal color and tissue of normal and inside white part of red ginseng were easily found with naked eye, and by the microscopic fractography, the orangement state of ginseng cell in the inside white part of red ginseng was less dense than that in normal red ginseng.
