산양삼은 식품 또는 약초로써 많이 사용되고 있다. 이번 연구의 목표는 high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) - charged aerosol detection (CAD)에 의해 산양삼의 추출물에 사포닌들의 분석을 최적화 하는 것이다. CAD는 물리적인 특성은 물론이고 입자크기, 스펙트럼 특성과는 무관하게 비휘발성 물질도 분석할 수 있다. 산양삼 추출물 중 Gensenoside Rb1, Rd, Rg1, Rf, Re 및 Rh1을 분석하였다. HPLC-CAD분석을 위한 사포닌 추출물은 건조 산양삼 10 g에 95% 에탄올 100 ml을 넣어 80℃에서 24시간 동안 추출하여 사포닌을 얻었다. 6개의 주요한 사포닌을 정량화하였을 경우 값은 다음과 같다. 사포닌들의 함량은 Rb1 (5.48±0.12 mg/g), Rd (5.33±0.14 mg/g), Rg1 (12.80±0.05 mg/g), Rf (19.08±0.68 mg/g), Re (19.87± 0.05 mg/g), 및 Rh1 (16.47±0.16 mg/g)로 확인하였다. 대체적으로 산양삼 추출물의 사포닌은 protopanaxatriol (Rg1, Rf, Re, Rh1)의 값이 protopanaxadiol (Rb1, Rd)보다 높게 확인 되었다. 이번 연구에서는 산양삼 사포닌의 분석조건을 HPLC-CAD를 이용하여 최적화하였고 제품화를 위해 약리활성에 관한 연구도 매우 중요할 것이다.

Panax ginseng has been used as a typical tonic medicine in Asian countries, such as Korea, China, and Japan. It has been reported that ginsenoside Rg1 in Panax ginseng increases the proportion of T helper cells in the whole T cells and promotes IL-2 gene expression in murine splenocytes. These studies imply that ginsenoside Rg1 increases the immune activity of CD4+ T cell, however the exact mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1 on helper T cell remains to be verified. The present study tried to elucidate the direct effect of Rg1 on helper T cell s activities and its Th1/Th2 lineage development. The results demonstrated that ginsenoside Rg1 had not mitogenic effects on the unstimulated CD4+ T cell, but augmented CD4+ T cell proliferation upon activating with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibodies in a dose dependent manner. Rg1 also enhanced the expression of cell surface protein CD69 on CD4+ T cell. In Th0 condition, ginsenoside Rg1 increases the expression of IL-2 mRNA, and enhances the expression of IL-4 mRNA on CD4+ T cells, suggesting Rg1 prefer to induce Th2 lineage development. In addition, ginsenoside Rg1 increases IL-4 secreting CD4+ T cell under Th2 skewed condition, while decreases IFN-γ secreting cell in Th1 polarizing condition. Thus, Rg1 enhances Th2 lineage development from naive CD4+ T cell both by increasing Th2 specific cytokine secretion and by repressing Th1 specific cytokine production. Therefore, these results suggest that ginsenoside Rg1 might be desirable agent for enhancing CD4+ T cell's activity, as well as the correction of Th1 dominant pathological disorders.

To reduce the production cost of Lactobacillus, discarded red ginseng starch was collected from a factory of red ginseng extract in order to develop the Lactobacillus culture medium. According to the analysis of the gensenoside composition of red ginseng starch, the total gensenoside content of starch was 2.73 mg/g, and the gensenoside $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$ and $Rg_3$ contents were 0.1, 0.29 and 0.52 mg/g, respectively. For the preparation of the liquid media, red ginseng starch was added at rates of 0, 5, 10 and 20%. Further, Lactobacillus plantarum 15357 and Leuconostoc mesenteroides sub sp. strains were then inoculated to these prepared broths. With the red ginseng starch medium, the growth rates ($1.42{\times}10^7$ and $2.96{\times}10^{10}$ CFU/mL) and the final cell concentrations were higher than the MM medium ($1.0{\times}10^7$ CFU/mL). The optimal concentration of red ginseng starch and yeast extract as a medium were 20% and 10 g/L, respectively. Under these conditions, the cell mass of L. plantarum 15357 and L. mesenteroides sub sp. reached $5.11{\times}10^{10}$ and $8.17{\times}10^{10}$ CFU/mL. These results show a great possibility for the utilization of red ginseng starch as economic medium sources in the production of cell mass of lactic acid bacteria. This is the first trial of development of economic LAB growth medium using discarded red ginseng starch.
