Red ginseng (Panax ginseng), a Korean traditional medicinal plant, contains a variety of ginsenosides as major functional components. It is necessary to remove sugar moieties from the major ginsenosides, which have a lower absorption rate into the intestine, to obtain the aglycone form. To screen for microorganisms showing bioconversion activity for ginsenosides from red ginseng, 50 yeast strains were isolated from Korean traditional meju (a starter culture made with soybean and wheat flour for the fermentation of soybean paste). Twenty strains in which a black zone formed around the colony on esculin-yeast malt agar plates were screened first, and among them 5 strains having high ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity on p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside as a substrate were then selected. Strain JNO301 was finally chosen as a bioconverting strain in this study on the basis of its high bioconversion activity for red ginseng extract as determined by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis. The selected bioconversion strain was identified as Candida allociferrii JNO301 based on the nucleotide sequence analysis of the 18S rRNA gene. The optimum temperature and pH for the cell growth were $20{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ and pH 5~8, respectively. TLC analysis confirmed that C. allociferrii JNO301 converted ginsenoside Rb1 into Rd and then into F2, Rb2 into compound O, Rc into compound Mc1, and Rf into Rh1. Quantitative analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography showed that bioconversion of red ginseng extract resulted in an increase of 2.73, 3.32, 33.87, 16, and 5.48 fold in the concentration of Rd, F2, compound O, compound Mc1, and Rh1, respectively.

버미큐라이트 폿드 시험으로 묘삼(苗蔘)의 양액재배(養液栽培)에서 N.P.K.의 수준(水準)을 달리하여 근중 ginsenoside의 함량변화(含量變化)를 조사(調査)하였다. 이들 중 어느 하나의 결제 또는 증가는 사포닌 함량(含量)의 증가 또는 감소를 보였다. 사포닌 함량에 영향을 가장 크게 주는 것은 질소이고(15.5%에서 8.9%) P.K.의 순(順)이었다. 각 ginsenoside 함량에서도 유사(類似)한 결과를 보였다. 양분환경변화에 의한 함량변이(含量變異)의 순위(順位)는 $Rd>Rb_1>Rg_1+Rf>Rc>Rg_2{\geqq}Rb_2>Re$로 Re가 가장 둔감하며 다른 요인에 관하여도 둔감할 것으로 보였다. Diol 총량이 triol 총량보다 민감하나 이들의 비(比)는 절반의 변이계수를 보였다. 영양조건에 의한 각(各) ginsenoside의 변이(變異)는 그 함량(含量)과는 무관(無關)하였다. Ginsenoside pattern의 유사도(類似度)는 총 사포닌 함량에 차이가 큰 처리간에서 낮아졌다. 뿌리의 생육(生育)은 수도수구(水道水區)에서만 유의성있게 적었다.

인삼엑기스의 추출온도와 추출시간, 그리고 열처리가 인삼엑기스의 사포닌과 순수분리 조제된 조사포닌의 양적 변화와 패턴변이에 미치는 영양을 조사하기 위하여 물을 추출용매로 하고 추출 조건별로 인삼엑기스와 조사포닌을 조제하고 조제된 조사포닌을 다시 열처리하여 그 변이여부를 HPLC법으로 측정비교하여 본 결과 순수분리된 조사포닌이 인삼엑기스중의 사포닌 경우보다 열처리에 의한 변이차가 더 컸으며 패턴별로는 ginsenoside-Rd가 비교적 내열성이었고 ginsenoisde-Re, -Rc, $-Rb_1$ 및 $-Rb_2$가 비교적 비내열성인 것으로 나타났다. 인삼엑기스 조제시 사포닌의 패턴과 양적인 변이는 추출온도가 높고 추출시간이 길수록 컸으며 $100^{\circ}C$이상에서 특히 심하였다. 따라서 인삼엑기스중의 사포닌 함량과 ginsenoside별로 안정을 유지하기 위한 추출조건으로는 $80^{\circ}C$이하에서 40시간내외로 처리하는 것이 가장 합리적인 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 식물공장을 통해 생산된 새싹인삼을 크기에 따라 분류하고 이를 지상부와 지하부로 나누어 진세노사이드 함량과 항산화 활성을 비교하였다. 지상부의 경우 총 phenolic 함량은 중간 크기인 M에서 5.16 GAE mg/g로 가장 높았으며 가장 큰 크기인 L에서 2.23 GAE mg/g으로 가장 낮은 함량을 보였다. 지하부 역시 M 크기에서 가장 높은 함량을 보였으나, 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 한편, 총 flavonoid 함량 역시 지상부(5.16 RE mg/g) 와 지하부(1.28 RE mg/g) 모두 M 크기에서 높은 함량을 보였다. 지상부의 주요 진세노사이드는 Re (20.33-24.15 mg/g) > Rd (11.36-27.42 mg/g) > Rg1 (4.48-5.54 mg/g) 순 있었고 지하부는 Rb1 (5.09-8.61 mg/g) > Re (4.48-5.54 mg/g) > Rc (3.11-4.11 mg/g) 순 있었다. M 크기의 경우 Re와 Rd는 각각 지상부에서 24.15 mg/g과 27.42 mg/g 및 지하부에서 5.20 mg/g과 1.43 mg으로 약 4배와 19배 높은 함량을 보였다. 지상부에는 F3 및 Rh1이 검출되었으나, 지하부에서는 검출되지 않았다. DPPH (74.95%)와 ABTS (94.47%), hydroxyl (70.39%) 라디칼 소거 활성 및 FRAP (2.169) 활성은 다른 크기들보다 M 크기에서 가장 높은 활성을 보였다.

구절초와 남구절초의 수확 시기에 따른 항산화 효과를 비교하기 위하여 본 연구를 실시하였다. 구절초와 남구절초를 생육초기(5월 9일), 중기(7월 17일) 그리고 생육 후기(9월 3일)에 각각 수확한 후 80% 에탄올로 추출하여 radical 소거활성 및 항산화 물질 함량을 측정하였다. 수확 시기가 늦어질수록 식물체의 수분 함량과 추출 수율이 낮아졌다. DPPH 및 ABTS radical 소거능은 이른 시기에 수확한 시료일수록 활성이 높은 경향을 보였다. 구절초의 DPPH radical 소거능은 생육 초기에 수확한 시료가 $0.128mg\;{\cdot}\;mL^{-1}$의 $RC_{50}$값을 나타내 $BHT(RC_{50}=0.121mg\;{\cdot}\;mL^{-1})$와 비슷한 소거능을 보였고, 생육 초기에 수확한 남구절초와 구절초는 천연 항산화제인 ascorbic acid보다도 높은 ABTS radical 소거활성을 나타냈다. 그러나 $Fe^{2+}$ chelating 효과의 경우, 구절초를 생육 후기에 수확하는 것이 초기나 중기에 수확하는 것 보다 높았으며, EDTA에 비해서도 훨씬 낮았다. 두 종 모두 수확 시기가 빠를수록 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드의 함량이 높은 경향을 보였으며, 생육 초기에 수확한 구절초와 남구절초의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 각각 79.93 및 $75.10mg\;{\cdot}\;g^{-1}$로 총 플라보노이드 함량(57.84, $54.91mg\;{\cdot}\;g^{-1}$)에 비해 높았다.

Background: Notoginseng stem-leaf (NGL) ginsenosides have not been well used. To improve their utilization, the biotransformation of NGL ginsenosides was studied using ginsenosidase type-I from Aspergillus niger g.848. Methods: NGL ginsenosides were reacted with a crude enzyme in the RAT-5D bioreactor, and the dynamic changes of multi-ginsenosides of NGL were recognized by HPLC. The reaction products were separated using a silica gel column and identified by HPLC and NMR. Results: All the NGL ginsenosides are protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides; the main ginsenoside contents are 27.1% Rb3, 15.7% C-Mx1, 13.8% Rc, 11.1% Fc, 7.10% Fa, 6.44% C-Mc, 5.08% Rb2, and 4.31% Rb1. In the reaction of NGL ginsenosides with crude enzyme, the main reaction of Rb3 and C-Mx1 occurred through Rb3${\rightarrow}$C-Mx1${\rightarrow}$C-Mx; when reacted for 1 h, Rb3 decreased from 27.1% to 9.82 %, C-Mx1 increased from 15.5% to 32.3%, C-Mx was produced to 6.46%, finally into C-Mx and a small amount of C-K. When reacted for 1.5 h, all the Rb1, Rd, and Gyp17 were completely reacted, and the reaction intermediate F2 was produced to 8.25%, finally into C-K. The main reaction of Rc (13.8%) occurred through Rc${\rightarrow}$C-Mc1${\rightarrow}$C-Mc${\rightarrow}$C-K. The enzyme barely hydrolyzed the terminal xyloside on 3-O- or 20-O-sugar-moiety of the substrate; therefore, 9.43 g C-Mx, 6.85 g C-K, 4.50 g R7, and 4.71 g Fc (hardly separating from the substrate) were obtained from 50 g NGL ginsenosides by the crude enzyme reaction. Conclusion: Four monomer ginsenosides were successfully produced and separated from NGL ginsenosides by the enzyme reaction.

Excessive vibrations induced by earthquake excitation and wind load are an obstacle in design and construction of tall and super tall buildings. An innovative vibration control structure system (Mega-Sub Controlled Structure System-MSCSS) was recently proposed to further improve humans comfort and their safeties during natural disasters. Preliminary investigations were performed using a two dimensional equivalent simplified model, composed by 3 mega-stories. In this paper, a more reasonable and realistic scaled model is design to investigate the dynamical characteristics and controlling performances of this structure when subjected to strong earthquake motion. The control parameters of the structure system, such as the modulated sub-structures disposition; the damping coefficient ratio (RC); the stiffness ratio (RD); the mass ratio of the mega-structure and sub-structure (RM) are investigated and their optimal values (matched values) are obtained. The MSCSS is also compared with the so-called Mega-Sub Structure (MSS) regarding their displacement and acceleration responses when subjected to the same load conditions. Through the nonlinear time history analysis, the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed mega-sub controlled structure system (MSCSS) is demonstrated in reducing the displacement and acceleration responses and also improving human comfort under earthquake loads.

This study compared the contents of ginsenoside according to the extract conditions of red ginseng to provide basic information for developing functional food using red ginseng. According to the result, the content of crude saponin was highest in 72 hours of extraction at $82^{\circ}C$ (RG-823). The content of prosapogenin (ginsenoside $Rh_1,\;Rh_2,\;Rg_2,\;Rg_3$) was highest in 48 hours of extraction, and followed by 72 and 24 hours at $82^{\circ}C$. And at $93^{\circ}C$ the prosapogenin contents were highest in the order of 48 hours, and next in 24 and 72 hours. In addition, ginsenoside $Rb_1,\;Rb_2$ Rc and Re were not detected in 72 hours of extraction at $93^{\circ}C$ (RG-933) presumedly due to hydrolysis, but ginsenoside Rd, Rf and $Rg_1$ were detected as long as 72 hours of extraction. These results show that protopanaxatriol group is relatively more resistant to heat than protopanaxadiol group.

The effects of the five ginsenosides on the activities of particulate adenylate cyclase and particulate guanylate cylase of rat brain have been studied. The range of concentrations of ginsenosides were between 10$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 500$\mu\textrm{g}$ per 500${mu}ell$ reaction mixture, Also, the effects of three ginsenosides on the activity of soluble guanylate cylace have been studied in the same range of concentrations as in particulate adenylate cyclase. Only ginsenoside Re has shown the reciprocal feeects when tested with particulated adenylate cyclase and particulate guanylated cyclase. Regulatory action of the several mononucleotides on the activities of adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase was examined. Ginsenoside Rd-inhibited adenylate cyclase was activated in great extent by the addition of increasing amount of GMP. On the other hand, ginsenoside Rc-activated guanylate cyclase was inhibited by the addition of increasing amount of AMP and GMP. The fact that the stimulatory action of GMP is observed only with particulated adenylate cyclase but not with soluble suanylate cyclase suggests that the action is membrane-related one. The competitive action was observed between ginsenoside Rb2 and dopamine in their binding to the receptors. This result is clear-cut evidence that the ginsenoside Rb2 binds specifically to $\beta$-adrenergic receptors.

Physical, chemical and microbiological changes were periodically studied during six-month storage of fresh ginseng under N2, CO2 gas or subatmospheric pressure condition. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The moisture contents of fresh ginseng gradually decreased during the first 2-month storage and thereafter generally reached at equillibrium. 2. There was no significant change in the reducing sugar content in 1-month storage, followed by$.$a decrease in between 2-and 3-month storage. Thereafter, the reducing sugar content increased at the end of 4-month storage. 3. The total sugar content increased significantly during the first 3-month storage. Under CO2 and Nr gas storage, the total sugar content gradually decreased after 3-month storage, while no significant change was observed in the samples stored under subatmospheric Pressure. Amylase activity gradually decreased as storage period increased 4. The content of saponin decreased as storage period increased, but ginsengoide Rf, Rd, Rc and Rb2 increased significantly in 1-month storage. 5. Regardless of storage methods, sprouting of ginseng and growth of microorganisms were inhibited in all samples during the first 4-month storage. However, growth of microorganisms was observed in the rhizome and injured areas of ginseng after 5-month storage in the N2 and CO2 gas atmosphere.
