An optimized manufacturing process was developed for the production of high-quality loess red ginseng using a hybrid process in which loess (yellow earth) was incorporated into the conventional ginseng manufacturing process system. We designed conventional ginseng processing facilities and prepared the loess module by baking loess that contained 42% water at $860^{\circ}C$ for 8 h. The loess module showed excellent performance in deodorization and humidity control. The optimum steaming temperature at which maximum expansion of starch organisms occurred was 90 to $98^{\circ}C$.
