Ginseng products available in different forms and preparations are reported to have varied bioactivities and chemical compositions. In our previous study, four new dammarane-type ginsenosides were isolated from Panax ginseng, which are ginsenoside Rg18 (1), 6-acetyl ginsenoside Rg3 (2), ginsenoside Rs11 (3), and ginsenoside Re7 (4). Accordingly, the goal of this study was to determine the distribution and content of these newly characterized ginsenosides in different ginseng products. The content of compounds 1 - 4 in different ginseng products was determined via HPLC-UV. The samples included ginseng roots from different ginseng species, roots harvested from different localities in Korea, and samples harvested at different cultivation ages and processed under different manufacturing methods. The four ginsenosides were present at varying concentrations in the different ginseng samples examined. The variations in their content could be attributed to species variation, and differences in cultivation conditions and manufacturing methods. The total concentration of compounds 1 - 4 were highest in ginseng obtained from Geumsan ($185{\mu}g/g$), white-6 yr ginseng ($150{\mu}g/g$), and P. quinquefolius ($186{\mu}g/g$). The results of this study provide a basis for the optimization of cultivation conditions and manufacturing methods to maximize the yield of the four new ginsenosides in ginseng.

This paper describes the determination of bulk density and the discrimination of internal structure of red ginseng by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The 102 red ginseng roots were tested for bulk density. The NMR properties measured by NMR parameters such as spin-lattice relaxation time ($T_1$) and spin-spin relaxation time ($T_2$) were determined using the low field proton NMR analyzer. Bulk density of red ginseng root showed a highly negative significant correlation (r=-0.8934) with the value of $T_1$, but a highly positive significant correlation (r=0.7672 and 0.5909) with the value of T21 (short T2) and T22 (long T2), respectively. Multiple regression equation, Y=-0.0069.$T_1$+0.3044.$T_{21}$-0.0156.$T_{22}$-0.6368, using the MNR parameter values of 80 red ginseng roots can effectively predict the bulk density of 22 red ginseng roots with the correlation coefficient of 0.9396 and the standard error of 0.086. The differences in the internal structure of normal and inside white part of red ginseng were easily found by the signal intensity of NMR image based on magnetic properties of proton nucleus.

Background: Panax ginseng has been used as Korean medicine for various diseases. It has antioxidant, hypotensive, sedative, analgesic, and endocrine activities. Dammarane-type triterpenes from the plant have various beneficial effects. Methods: A dammarane-type triterpene saponin was isolated from P. ginseng root through chromatography such as repeated column chromatography and medium pressure liquid chromatography. Results and conclusion: New dammarane-type triterpene saponin was isolated for the first time from nature. The structure was elucidated as ginsenoside Rg12 (1) based on spectral data. There may be good materials from P. ginseng for the development of industrial applications such as nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical purposes.

We have conducted a comprehensive literature review regarding the chemical constituents and biological activities of Korean black ginseng(Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer), three to nine times-steamed and dried ginseng, which shows strong black color through Maillared browning reaction. It has been reported that some chemically deglycosylated and transformed saponins are obtained from black ginseng as artifacts produced during intensive steaming. They have been known to be ginsenosides Rg3, Rg4, Rg5, Rg6, Rh1, Rh2, Rh4, Rk1 and Rk3, quite different from those of red ginseng, among which ginsenosides Rg3, Rg5 and Rk1 are considered to be major components. And also, black ginseng has been recently found to demonstrate anticancer, recovery from learning and memory damages, hypontensive, antidiabetic, antiobesitic, tonic and antiatopic activities, together with antioxidative and exercise performance improving activities, exhibiting their effects to be a little bit stronger than those of red ginseng. These findings suggest that black ginsng might play an important role in the development of promising functional foods and drugs from the viewpoint of the chemical composition and biological activities of black ginseng with a distinction from those of white and red ginsengs. In this review, the authors will survey and evaluate further functions of black ginseng with a focus on its physicochemical properties and biological activities.

Electron beam, electrically produced from an electron accelerator, was compared with gamma energy in terms of its influence on color and organoleptic qualities of ginseng powders when exposed to the energy used for their microbial decontamination. Hunter color L and b values were suitable for measuring color characteristics of ginseng powders, which were not significantly changed by the exposure to 5 to 7.5 kGy electron beam and gamma energy. Fifty percent ethanol extracts of irradiated ginseng powders at 10 key showed negligible differences from the non-irradiated control in the pattern of absorption spectra at 280∼800 am, but showed increased values in overall color difference (AE) as compared with powdered samples. Irradiation more than 10 kGy and storage at ambient temperature for 4 months caused browning of powdered samples. Irradiation at more than 10 kGy of electron beam was found a critical level to bring about appreciable changes (p<0.05) in or-ganoleptic qualities such as color and odor of sterilized samples, and red ginseng powder was more susceptible than white one to organoleptic changes by irradiation.

백삼과 홍삼추출물 투여가 scopolamine으로 기억을 손상시킨 실험동물의 학습수행 개선과 뇌조직의 AChE 억제 및 ACh 함량을 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 백삼과 홍삼추출물(200 mg/kg, p.o.) 투여는 scopolamine (2 mg/kg, i.p.)으로 유발된 기억손상 동물모델의 Morris water maze 시험에서 tacrine 투여군과 대조군처럼 인지훈련이 반복될수록 escape latency 시간이 현저히 감소하였다. probe test에서도 scopolamine 투여군보다 유의적으로 감소하여 인삼추출물이 장기기억(Long-term memory)과 working memory의 개선에 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 2. Y-maze test를 통한 실험동물의 자발적 변동행동력은 실험군간 차이가 없었으며, 총 출입회수도 차이가 없어 인삼추출물은 실험동물의 일반적 운동성에 영향을 주지 않았다. 3. 해마조직의 AChE 활성은 인삼추출물 군에서 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 유의적 차이는 없었다. 대뇌피질과 혈청 AChE 활성은 홍삼추출물 투여군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 4. 인삼추출물 투여군의 뇌조직 ACh 함량은 대뇌피질과 해마조직에서 scopolamine 투여군보다 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 그룹간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 5. 이를 통하여 볼 때 인삼추출물 특히 홍삼추출물은 장기기억 활성촉진, AChE 억제, ACh 활성촉진으로 콜린성 신경계를 자극하여 기억 및 학습증진에 매우 효과적으로 작용하는 항치매 물질로 사료된다.

Background: The study was conducted to elucidate the extraction conditions under which white ginseng has cognition-improving efficacy. Methods and Results: Extracts from white ginseng under different solvent and temperature conditions were analyzed for ginsenoside content and inhibitory effect on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and acetylcholinesterase. The total ginsenoside contents and amounts of ginsenoside Rb1 plus ginsenoside Rg1 from the 1st extracts (prepared with EtOH/$H_2O$ as solvent) were higher than those from the 2nd extracts (extracted with $H_2O$ after the 1st EtOH/$H_2O$ extraction). The contents in the 1st and 2nd extracts produced at $80^{\circ}C$ were also higher than those obtained at $50^{\circ}C$. Samples from the 1st extraction at $80^{\circ}C$ indicated higher inhibitory activities on NMDA receptors-whose excessive activation is thought to mediate the calcium-dependent neurotoxicity associated with several neurodegenerative diseases-than those from the 2nd extraction. Among the samples prepared at varying temperatures, the extract prepared at $50^{\circ}C$ showed the highest suppression activity on NMDA receptors. Note, however, that the extracts from the 2nd extraction at $50^{\circ}C$ inhibited acetylcholinesterase-whose inhibition could be a therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative diseases with cognitive deficits and memory malfunction-more effectively than those from the 1st extraction. Conclusions: To enhance the cognition-improving activity of white ginseng extract, it is suggested that the extracts be utilized after being combined the 1st extracts (made with EtOH/$H_2O$ solvent) and the 2nd extracts (prepared with $H_2O$) at low temperature.

백삼의 저장해충 방제를 위하여 사용되고 있는 phosphine gas 훈증법의 대체방안 연구의 일환으로, 살충 및 살균 효과를 지닌 5 kGy의 감마선 조사와 훈증처리가 상업적 조건으로 포장된 백삼의 수분, 사포닌, 당, 아미노산 등의 함량에 미치는 영향을 처리 직후와 2$0^{\circ}C$/70% RH 조건에서 6개월 간 저장 후에 비교되었다. 백삼의 초기수분 함량은 8.44%로 살충처리에 따라 변화되지 않았으며, 6개월 간 저장 후에도 10% 수준이 유지되어 비교적 안정한 것으로 나타났다. 주요 ginsenoside 함량은 처리 직후에는 안정하였으나 6개월 간 저장 후에는 훈증처리구와 대조구에서 다소 함량이 감소되었다. 유리당 함량은 감마선 조사에 의해 다소 감소되었고, 6개월 저장 후에는 감마선, 훈증 및 대조구의 순으로 낮은 값을 보였다. 유리아미노산 함량은 감마선과 훈증처리에 의해 약 5% 정도 감소되었으며, 6개월 저장 후에는 모든 시험구에서 15% 내외의 함량이 감소되어 생물학적 품질개선을 위한 감마선이나 훈증 처리보다는 저장조건의 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다.
