홍삼 특유의 prosapogenin 성분을 극대화 시키기 위해 홍삼의 증숙, 건조 및 추출 공정을 최적화하여 식초에 첨가할 홍삼 농축액을 제조하였다. 농축액을 0-1%의 범위로 첨가한 홍삼 발효 쌀 식초의 경우 정치 배양 20일차에 초산발효가 종료 되었으며 홍삼 농축액의 함유량이 높을수록 pH 감소속도가 늦고 감소량 또한 control에 비해 적음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 산도의 경우 농축액 농도 별 초산 생성 속도에는 차이는 있으나 농축액 함유량이 산도 변화 량에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 1%의 홍삼 농축액을 후 첨가한 식초의 경우 71.75 mg/g의 조사포닌 함량을 가진 반면에 0-1% 범위의 농축액을 주모에 첨가하여 초산 발효를 동시에 진행한 경우 발효 진행 중 상당한 조사포닌 손실이 있음을 확인하였다. 이 두 식초를 가지고 관능검사를 진행한 결과 향기, 맛 및 전체적인 평가에서 농축액과 초산발효를 동시에 진행시킨 홍삼발효식초가 더 좋은 선호도를 나타내었다.

Ginseng(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is reported to have many pharmaceutical activities. The minor ginsenosides(Rd, Rg3, Rh2 and compound K) display pharmaceutical properties superior to those of the major ginsenosides. These minor ginsenosides, which contribute a very small percentage, are produced by hydrolysis of the sugar moieties of the major ginsenosides. The pH of red ginseng extracts fermented with S. cerevisiae and S. carlsbergensis decreased rapidly during 3 days of fermentation, with no further significant change thereafter. After 20 days of fermentation, a relatively small difference remained in the acidity of extracts fermented with S. cerevisiae (0.54%) and S. carlsbergensis (0.58%). Reducing sugar in the S. cerevisiae and S. carlsbergensis extracts decreased from 25.86 to 4.54 mg/ml and 4.32 mg/ml glucose equivalents, respectively; and ethanol contents increased from 1.5% at day 0 to 16.0 and 15.0%, respectively, at 20 days. Ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Re, Rf, and Rg1 decreased during the fermentation with S. cerevisiae, but Rd and Rg3 increased by 12 days. Ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Re and Rg1 decreased gradually in the extract with S. carlsbergensis, but Rd and Rg3 were increased at 6 days and 9 days.

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.

Background: Korean Red Ginseng (steamed and dried white ginseng, Panax ginseng Meyer) is well known for enhancing vital energy and immune capacity and for inhibiting cancer cell growth. Some clinical studies also demonstrated a therapeutic potential of ginseng extract for treating lung inflammatory disorders. This study was conducted to establish the therapeutic potential of ginseng saponins on the lung inflammatory response. Methods: From Korean Red Ginseng, 11 ginsenosides (Rb1, Rb2, Rb3, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg1, Rg2, Rg3, and Rh2) were isolated. Their inhibitory potential and action mechanism were evaluated using a mouse model of lung inflammation, acute lung injury induced by intranasal lipopolysaccharide administration. Their anti-inflammatory activities were also examined in lung epithelial cell line (A549) and alveolar macrophage (MH-S). Results: All ginsenosides orally administered at 20 mg/kg showed 11.5-51.6% reduction of total cell numbers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Among the ginsenosides, Rc, Re, Rg1, and Rh2 exhibited significant inhibitory action by reducing total cell numbers in the BALF by 34.1-51.6% (n = 5). Particularly, Re showed strong and comparable inhibitory potency with that of dexamethasone, as judged by the number of infiltrated cells and histological observations. Re treatment clearly inhibited the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases, nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$, and the c-Fos component in the lung tissue (n = 3). Conclusion: Certain ginsenosides inhibit lung inflammatory responses by interrupting these signaling molecules and they are potential therapeutics for inflammatory lung diseases.

본 연구는 김치에서 분리한 L. acidophilus를 이용하여 홍삼 농축액의 진세노사이드 변화 및 폴리페놀 변화량을 확인하였고, 발효유제품 중 신선치즈를 선정하여 홍삼 발효물의 기능성 소재로의 사용 가능성을 확인하였다. 홍삼농축액3% 처리구에 L. acidophilus 유산균주를 $1.0{\times}10^8CFU/mL$로 첨가하여 $40^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 발효한 경우 유산균수는 발효 0시간째 $3.5{\times}10^8CFU/mL$에서 발효 16시간째 $3.8{\times}10^8CFU/mL$로 증가하였다가 그 후 감소하여 발효 24시간째에는 $2.2{\times}10^8CFU/mL$로 측정되었다. Ginsenoside 전환 양상은 고분자 물질로는 Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg1이 검출되었고, 저분자 물질로는 Rg3(20S), Rg3(20R), Rh2(20S), Rh1(20R), Rh2(20S), Rh2(20R), F1, Compound K, Protopanaxadiol(20S), Protopanaxadiol(20R)이 검출되었다. 고분자 물질이 감소함에 따라 저분자 물질인 Rg3(20S) 및 Rg3(20R), protopanaxadiol(20R), F1, Compound K 등이 증가하였다. 홍삼 발효물의 총 페놀 화합물의 변화량은 에틸아세테이트 분획물 및 16% ACN 분획물에서 발효시간이 증가할수록 폴리페놀 함량이 증가하였다. 홍삼 발효물을 첨가하여 제조한 신선치즈의 저장 중 품질변화를 분석하였으며, 홍삼 발효물의 첨가농도가 높아질수록 pH는 저장기간 동안 감소하였고, 산도 및 유산균수는 증가하였다. 관능검사 결과 홍삼 발효물 1% 처리구가 대조구와 유사한 평가를 얻었으며, 이때의 사포닌 함량은 14.8 mg%, 총 페놀함량은 3.7 mg%이었다. 따라서 향후 동물모델을 통한 추가적인 효능검증이 이뤄진다면 홍삼 발효물을 이용한 기능성 강화 고부가가치 신선치즈 제조가 가능할 것으로 보인다.

열처리(熱處理)가 홍삼(紅蔘)엑기스의 성분변화(成分變化)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 조사(調査)하기 위하여 저온(低溫)에서 추출(抽出), 조제(調劑)된 홍삼(紅蔘)엑기스를 각온도별(各溫度別)로 $40^{\circ}Bx$까지 농축(濃縮)하고 다시 온도별(溫度別), 시간별(時間別)로 숙성(熟成)시켜 숙성과정중(熟成過程中)에 일어나는 pH, 당(糖), saponin 및 색상(色相) 등을 조사(調査)하여 다음과 같은 유의성(有意性)있는 결과(結果)를 얻었다. (1) 홍삼(紅蔘)엑기스의 pH는 농축(濃縮) 및 숙성(熟成)중에 차차 감소(減少)하였으며 $100^{\circ}C$에서 96시간(96時間)까지 숙성(熟成)하면 pH가 4.15까지 감소(減少)하였다. (2) HPLC에 의한 방법(方法)으로 rhamnose, glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose 둥의 당(糖)을 동정(同定) 및 정량(定量)하였으며 $100^{\circ}C$에서의 당(糖)의 변화(變化)는 sucrose가 30시간(30時間)에서 95%이상 감소(減少)하였고 glucose는 50시간(50時間)까지는 증가(增加)하다가 감소(減少)하였고 fructose는 10시간(10時間)까지 약간 증가(增加)되다가 감소(減少)하였으며 rhamnose는 큰 변화(變化)가 없었다. (3) 수삼(水蔘)이나 백삼(白蔘)에는 없는 rhamnose가 홍삼(紅蔘)엑기스중에서는 동정(同定)되었으며 이는 인삼중(人蔘中)의 일부 배당체(配糖體)의 분해(分解)에 의한 것으로 생각되며 온도(溫度)의 변화(變化)에 따라 큰 변화(變化)가 없는 것으로 보아 다른 당(糖)에 비(比)해 amino-carbonyl 반응(反應)에 적게 관여(關與)하는 것으로 생각된다. (4) 열처리중(熱處理中)의 홍삼(紅蔘)엑기스중의 saponin은 ginsenoside-Re와 $-Rg_1$이 감소(減少)하는 반면(反面) $ginsenoside-Rg_2$와 -Rh group은 증가(增加)되어 saponin group간(間)의 상호변환(相互變換)으로 추정(推定)할 수 있다. (5) 열처리(熱處理)에 의한 홍삼(紅蔘)엑기스의 갈변색소(褐變色素)는 벤젠층에 비해 부탄올층(層)이 약(約) 10배(10倍), 수층(水層)이 약(約) 100배(100倍)로 나타나 홍삼(紅蔘)엑기스의 갈변색소형성(褐變色素形成)은 비효소적(非酵素的) 갈변반응(褐變反應)인 amino-carbonyl 반응(反應)이 주도적(主導的) 역할(役割)을 하고 있음을 알 수 있다. (6) 총당(總糖)과 갈변반응속도(褐變反應速度)는 유의성(有意性)이 있었으며 $100^{\circ}C$의 경우 20시간(20時間)에 가장 색도(色度)가 높아 갈변반응속도(褐變反應速度)가 0.2로 나타났다.

This study was carried out to investigate the some physicochemical properties of Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) water extract (RGWE) after heated with high temperatures above $100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. RGWEs were heated at 100, 110 and $120^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours by using autoclave. After RGWEs were heated at high temperature for 2 hours without not adjustment of pH, the changes of saponin, free sugars, mineral and color in the RGWEs were investigated. Total ginsenoside content in control was 1.99%, while those of RGWE were 1.65, 1.49 and 1.29% when treated at 100, 110 and $120^{\circ}C$, respectively. The contents of total ginsenoside showed decreased tendency as heating temperatures were increased. The ginsenoside-$Rh_{2}$ and $-Rg_{3}$, which have been reported as very stable red ginseng ginsenosides, showed relatively strong spots on TLC when RGWEs were heated at 110 and $120^{\circ}C$. In case of free sugars in RGWEs, fructose, glucose and maltose showed high contents when compared with control, while Fe, Ca and Mg ions showed very low contents. Value of L in RGWE treated with high temperature was almost the same with control, while values of a and b were increased. Values of a were increased from -0.86 of control to +0.04, +0.05 and +1.14 when treated with 100, 110 and $120^{\circ}C$, respectively. Values of b also were increased from 27.68 of control to 33.61, 33.61 and 37.42 when treated with 100, 110 and $120^{\circ}C$, respectively. Values of total color in RGWEs treated with high temperatures, E, were finally increased by values of a and b.

To obtain microorganisms for the microbial conversion of ginsenosides in red ginseng extract (RGE), mushroom mycelia were used for the fermentation of RGE. After fermentation, total sugar contents and polyohenol contents of the RGEs fermented with various mushrooms were not a significant increase between RGE and the ferments. But uronic acid content was relatively higher in the fermented RGEs cultured with Lentus edodes (2155.6 ${\mu}g/mL$), Phelllinus linteus (1690.9 ${\mu}g/mL$) and Inonotus obliquus 26137 and 26147 (1549.5 and 1670.7 ${\mu}g/mL$) compared to the RGE (1307.1 ${\mu}g/mL$). The RGEs fermented by Ph. linteus, Cordyceps militaris, and Grifola frondosa showed particularly high levels of total ginsenosides (20018.1, 17501.6, and 16267.0 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively). The ferments with C. militaris (6974.2 ${\mu}g/mL$), Ph. linteus (9109.2 ${\mu}g/mL$), and G. frondosa (7023.0 ${\mu}g/mL$) also showed high levels of metabolites (sum of compound K, $Rh_1$, $Rg_5$, $Rk_1$, $Rg_3$, and $Rg_2$) compared to RGE (3615.9 ${\mu}g/mL$). Among four different RGE concentrations examined, a 20 brix concentration of RGE was favorable for the fermentation of Ph. linteus. Maximum biotransformation of ginsneoside metabolites (9395.5 ${\mu}g/mL$) was obtained after 5 days fermentation with Ph. linteus. Maximum mycelial growth of 2.6 mg/mL was achieved at 9 days, in which growth was not significantly different during 5 to 9 days fermentation. During fermentation of RGE by Ph. linteus in a 7 L fermenter, $Rg_3$, $Rg_5$, and $Rk_1$ contents showed maximum concentrations after 5 days similar to flask fermentation. These results confirm that fermentation with Ph. linteus is very useful for preparing minor ginsenoside metabolites while being safe for foods.

Background: This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the steaming process on chemical constituents, free radical scavenging activity, and antiproliferative effect of Vietnamese ginseng. Methods: Samples of powdered Vietnamese ginseng were steamed at $120^{\circ}C$ for various times and thei extracts were subjected to chemical and biological studies. Results: Upon steaming, contents of polar ginsenosides, such as Rb1, Rc, Rd, Re, and Rg1, were rapidly decreased, whereas less polar ginsenosides such as Rg3, Rg5, Rk1, Rk3, and Rh4 were increased as reported previously. However, ocotillol type saponins, which have no glycosyl moiety at the C-20 position, were relatively stable on steaming. The radical scavenging activity was increased continuously up to 20 h of steaming. Similarly, the antiproliferative activity against A549 lung cancer cells was also increased. Conclusion: It seems that the antiproliferative activity is closely related to the contents of ginsenoside Rg3, Rg5, and Rk1.
