The content and composition of saponin compounds of Panax species were analyzed according to their species, region and processing type of red and white ginseng. The species employed were Korean-, Chinese-, Japanese red ginsengs, and Korean white ginseng of Panax ginseng, American- and Canadian ginsengs of Panax quinquefolium, and Panax notoinseng. Twelve main saponin components in the ginseng were identified and quantified using TLC and HPLC. All three species had remarkably different content and composition. However, within each species they were similar. Twelve major ginsenosides were determined in P. ginseng, eight in p. quinquefolium, and six in P. notoginseng. Of the components of P ginseng Rf, $Rh_1$, $Rh_2$ and Ra were not detected in P quinquefolium, and $Rb_2$, Rc, Rf, $Rh_2$, Ra and Ro not detected in P. notoinseam. Crude saponin content and protopanaxadiol/protopanaxatriol saponin ratio were compared. They were 4.81~5.24% and 1.27~ 1.45 in p. ginsengs, 7.01~7.25% and 2.12~ 2.15 in p. quinquefolium, 9.80% and 0.99 in P. notoineng. The prosapogenin and sapogenin content were different among the Panax species.

Red ginseng has been considered as a functional food, with much researches on the prevention of cancer, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and constipation having been conducted. In this study, white bread, with the addition of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5% red ginseng marc powder was measured for its moisture content, volume, height, color, and texture, and sensory analysis was also conducted. The moisture content increased with increasing red ginseng marc powder content. The volume and height of the bread were decreased with increasing red ginseng marc powder content. The crust color, lightness, yellowness and redness all decreased with increasing red ginseng marc powder content. Both the crumb color, and lightness decreased, but the yellowness and redness increased writh increasing red ginseng marc powder content. In the consumer acceptability test, the white bread with a 2% red ginseng marc powder content was shown to have the most favorable quality characteristics.

Background: The Panax ginseng plant is used as an herbal medicine. Phytosterols of P. ginseng have inhibitory effects on inflammation-related factors in HepG2 cells. Methods: Phytosterols (e.g., stigmasterol and ${\beta}$-sitosterol) in the roots of P. ginseng grown under various conditions were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography. The P. ginseng roots analyzed in this study were collected from three cultivation areas in Korea (i.e., Geumsan, Yeongju, and Jinan) and differed by cultivation year (i.e., 4 years, 5 years, and 6 years) and production process (i.e., straight ginseng, red ginseng, and white ginseng). Results: The concentrations of stigmasterol and ${\beta}$-sitosterol in P. ginseng roots were 2.22-23.04 mg/g and 7.35-59.09 mg/g, respectively. The highest concentrations of stigmasterol and ${\beta}$-sitosterol were in the roots of 6-year-old P. ginseng cultivated in Jinan (82.14 mg/g and 53.23 mg/g, respectively). Conclusion: Six-year-old white ginseng and white ginseng cultivated in Jinan containing stigmasterol and b-sitosterol are potentially a new source of income in agriculture.

압출성형 온도에 따른 백삼과 홍삼분말의 팽화현상을 살펴보기 위해 팽화율, 미세구조 및 유동특성을 분석하였다. 압출성 형 공정 변수는 원료(백삼과 홍삼가루)와 사출구 부위온도($100^{\circ}C$ 와 $115^{\circ}C$)로 설정하였다. 사출구 부위온도가 $120^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 잘 팽화되지만, 백삼분말과 홍삼분말은$100^{\circ}C$에서 사출구 직경방향으로 팽화율이 높았으나 $115^{\circ}C$로 증가와 함께 사출구 직경방향 팽화율은 감소하였으나 가로 방향으로 팽화율이 증가하여 비연속적인 팽화가 일어나 압출성형물 표면은 기공의 파열에 거칠었다. 또한 백삼 압출물의 미세구조는 사출구 온도$100^{\circ}C$에서 기공이 작고 균일하였지만 $115^{\circ}C$로 증가와 함께 기공의 파열에 의해 기공의 크기가 불균일하고 크기도 증가한 것을 관찰하였다. 백삼분말과 압출성형 백삼분말은 의가소성유체였으며 고유점도는 사출구 부위온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하여 사출구 부위온도의 증가와 함께 백삼전분의 구조가 파괴되어 분자량이 감소하는 것으로 판단되었다. 분자량의 감소와 함께 용융반죽의 점도가 낮아져 압출성형 온도 $115^{\circ}C$에서 직경 팽화율의 감소와 함께 불연속적인 팽화가 일어난 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was performed to examine the effects of infrared (IR)/heated-air combination drying on some quality attributes of Korean white ginsengs. Ginseng roots were dried in a dryer where both the far infrared ray and heated-air are available as drying energy sources. Diametral shrinkage, external color, total saponin content, and ginsenosides and free sugar composition of the IR/heated-air combination dried ginsengs were measured and compared with those of commercial white ginseng products. The external color became lower in lightness and higher in saturation as the IR radiating plate temperature increased. IR/heated-air combination dried white ginsengs at IR plate temperature of 100$^{\circ}C$ was comparable to the commercial white ginseng products in color characteristics. Diametral shrinkage ratios ranged from 20 to 36% and appeared to be independent on the different drying methods. No definite evidence could be found whether the IR/heated-air combination drying and the conventional. hot-air drying practice resulted in white ginsengs having different ginsenoside contents and compositions. No conclusion could be made on whether the various drying treatments used in the study had effects on the free sugar contents and compositions of white ginsengs.

Microbiological quality of commercial white ginseng was examined, together with investigation on its water absorption pattern and radiosensitivity of molds isolated from the samples. Comparative effects of phosphine fumigation and gamma irradiation on microbial control and disinfestation of the samples packed in a commercial laminated film and stored for six months at ambient(20oC, 70% RH) and accelerated(40oC, 90% RH) conditions were studied. Commercial white ginseng was contaminated with coliforms by 103~104CFU/g and molds by 102~104CFU/g and thus decontamination process was required for hygienic quality and storage stability. Phosphine fumigation showed no sterilizing effects on microbes contaminated, while gamma irradiation at around 5kGy was effective for decontaminating microorganisms, showing D10 values of 0.48~0.60kGy for isolated molds. Even though the storage insects, Plodia interpuctella Hubner and Lasioderma serricorne(cigarette beetle) were easily destroyed by phosphine fumigation, gamma irradiation less than 5kGy was found effective for both purposes to improve biological quality of stored white ginseng, thereby extending the storage life of packed samples resulting from increased critical moisture content by about 1%(Aw 0.76).

Fresh (raw roots), white (dried), and red (steamed-drid) ginseng samples were gamma-irradiated at 0 to 7 kGy. Electron spin resonance (ESR) technique was used to characterize the irradiation status of the samples, targeting the radiation-induced cellulose radicals after different sample pretreatments. All non-irradiated samples exhibited a single central signal (g=2.006), whose intensity showed significant increase upon irradiation. The ESR spectra from the radiation-induced cellulose radicals, with two side peaks (g=2.0201 and g=1.9851) equally spaced (${\pm}3mT$) from the central signal, were also observed in the irradiated samples. The core sample analyzed after alcoholic-extraction produced the best results for irradiated fresh ginseng samples. In the case of irradiated white and red ginseng samples, the central (natural) and radiation-induced (two-side peaks corresponding to cellulose radical) signal intensities showed little improvement on alcoholic-extraction. The water-washing step minimized the effect of $Mn^{2+}$, but reduced the intensity of side peaks making them difficult to indentify. The effect of different origins was negligible, however harvesting year showed a clear effect on radiation-induced ESR signals.

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for determination of 11 ginsenosides in black ginseng (BG, white ginseng that is subjected to 9 cycles of $95^{\circ}C$ for 3 hr). After eluted by gradient elution of water-acetonitrile without buffer in 70 min, 11 ginsenosides in BG were identified. The proposed method provided good linearity ($R^2$>0.9995), accuracy (92.2-106.6%), and intra- and interday precision (RSD<2.6%). In addition, ginsenosides compositions in white, red, and black ginsengs were investigated using this method, respectively. Interestingly, in BG, the content of ginsenoside $Rg_3$ which does not existed in white ginseng was 7.51 mg/g, approximately 20 times than that in red ginseng.
