Background: In this study, the fermentation of ginseng seeds was hypothesized to produce useful physiologically-active substances, similar to that observed for fermented ginseng root. Ginseng seed was fermented using Bacillus, Pediococcus, and Lactobacillus strains to extract ginseng seed oil, and the extraction yield, color, and quantity of phenolic compounds, fatty acids, and phytosterol were then analyzed. Methods: The ginseng seed was fermented inoculating 1% of each strain on sterilized ginseng seeds and incubating the seeds at $30^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. Oil was extracted from the fermented ginseng seeds using compression extraction, solvent extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction. Results and Conclusion: The color of the fermented ginseng seed oil did not differ greatly according to the fermentation or extraction method. The highest phenolic compound content recovered with the use of supercritical fluid extraction combined with fermentation using the Bacillus subtilis Korea Food Research Institute (KFRI) 1127 strain. The fatty acid composition did not differ greatly according to fermentation strain and extraction method. The phytosterol content of ginseng seed oil fermented with Bacillus subtilis KFRI 1127 and extracted using the supercritical fluid method was highest at 983.58 mg/100 g. Therefore, our results suggested that the ginseng seed oil fermented with Bacillus subtilis KFRI 1127 and extracted using the supercritical fluid method can yield a higher content of bioactive ingredients, such as phenolics, and phytosterols, without impacting the color or fatty acid composition of the product.

Ginseng is a well-known traditional medicine used in Asian countries for several thousand years, and it is currently applied to medicine, cosmetics, and nutritional supplements due to its many healing and energygiving properties. It is well demonstrated that ginsenosides, the main ingredient of ginseng, produce a variety of pharmacological and therapeutic effects on central nerve system (CNS) disorders, cardiovascular disease, endocrine secretions, aging, and immune function. Korean red ginseng extract is a dietary supplement containing ginsenoside Rb1 and ginsenoside Rg1 extracted from Panax ginseng. While the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of the extract have been well established, its toxicological properties remain obscure. Thus, four-week oral toxicity studies in rats were conducted to investigate whether Korean red ginseng extract could have a potential toxicity to humans. The test article was administered once daily by oral gavage to four groups of male and female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats at dose levels of 0, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 mg/kg/day for four weeks. Neither deaths nor clinical symptoms were observed in any group during the experiment. Furthermore, no abnormalities in body weight, food consumption, ophthalmology, urinalysis, hematology, serum biochemistry, gross findings, organ weights, or histopathology were revealed related to the administration of the test article in either sex of any dosed group. Therefore, a target organ was not determined in this study, and the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of Korean red ginseng extract was established to be 2,000 mg/kg/day.

Kwon, Young-Min,Lee, Sung-Dong,Kang, Hyun-Sook,Cho, Mu-Gung,Hong, Soon-Sun,Park, Chae-Kyu,Lee, Jong-Tae,Jeon, Byeong-Seon,Ko, Sung-Ryong,Shon, Hyun-Joo,Choi, Dal-Woong The Korean Society of Ginseng 2008 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.32 No.4

For evaluating the quality of ginseng, simple and fast analysis methods are needed to determine the ginsenoside content of the ginseng products. The aim of this study was therefore to optimize conditions for fast analysis of the ginsenosides, the active ingredients in extracts of Korean red ginseng. When tandem HPLC mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was used, four forms of ginsenoside, Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and Re, were readily separated in seven minutes using a gradient mobile phase (acetonitrile and water containing acetic acid). This is the shortest separation time reported among the studies of major ginsenoside analysis. When gradient HPLC with UV detection was used, the detection limit was high, but separation of these four ginsenosides required 25 minutes using acetonitrile and water containing formic acid as a mobile phase. HPLC-MS/MS was able to separate ginsenoside Rg1 easily regardless of the mobile phase condition, but the HPLC-UV could not separate Rg1 because acetonitrile concentration in the mobile phase had to be maintained below 20%. Ginsenoside peaks were clearer and had more sensitive detection limits when Korean red ginseng extract was analyzed by the HPLC-MS/MS, but the UV detection was useful for chromatographic fingerprinting of all four major ginsenosides of the extract: Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and Re. Extracts were found to contain 2.17 mg, 1.51 mg, 1.29 mg, and 0.46 mg of ginsenoside Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Re, respectively, per gram weight. The ratios of each ginsenoside in the extracts were 1.0 : 0.7 : 0.6 : 0.2, respectively. Taken together, the results indicate that HPLC-MS/MS spectrometry could be the most useful method for rapid analysis of even small amounts of major ginsenosides, while HPLC with UV detection could also be used for rapid analysis of major ginsenosides and for quality control of ginseng products.

Fermentation properties of beer produced from Korean two-row barley or malt (Gwangmaek) supplemented with Korean red ginseng extracts and Bokbunja (Rubus coreanus Miquel) juice

Park, Ji-Won,Kim, Ji Hyeon,Kwon, Young-An,Kim, Wang June Korean Society of Food Science and Technology 2019 한국식품과학회지 Vol.51 No.6

This study involved the production of specialty lager beers supplemented with Korean red ginseng extracts or Bokbunja (Korean black raspberry, Rubus coreanus Miquel) juice. The effects of the Korean red ginseng extracts or Bokbunja juice on the specific gravity, pH, yeast viability, free amino nitrogen content, reducing sugar content, color, alcohol content, turbidity, and sensory evaluation were evaluated. The alcohol content of the beers containing the extracts or juice were within the standard alcohol amounts (3.63-4.0%, v/v). The pH values of the three samples containing Bokbunja juice were lower than that of the control values. The sensory evaluation showed that the addition of Bokbunja juice was superior to the ginseng extracts, and the optimal addition time was before or after the secondary fermentation. These data indicate that the flavor and odor of the Bokbunja juice are more persistent than that of the ginseng extracts.

본 연구는 홍삼 및 농축액의 합리적인 농약잔류허용기준 개정을 위한 과학적인 자료를 얻고자 수행하였다. 인삼 재배 시에 사용 등록된 농약 3종(azoxystrobin, fenhexamid, cyprodinil)을 인삼포에 직접 살포하여 수확한 수삼을 홍삼과 농축액으로 직접 제조하였다. 수확한 수삼에 azoxystrobin 0.12 ppm, fenhexamid 0.19 ppm, cyprodinil 1.78 ppm이 잔류하였으며 농약이 잔류된 수삼을 원료로 홍삼 및 농축액으로 가공하여 각 제품의 농약 잔류량을 조사한 결과 fenhexamid의 경우 홍삼에 0.54 ppm, 홍삼농축액에서 1.93 ppm이 잔류하였다. Azoxystrobin은 홍삼에서 0.24 ppm, 홍삼농축액에서 0.81 ppm이 잔류하여 가공단계를 거치면서 증가하였다. 그러나 cyprodinil의 경우 1.78 ppm이 잔류된 수삼이 홍삼으로 가공되면서 1.49 ppm으로 감소하였으나 홍삼농축액에서는 3.66 ppm으로 증가하였다. 농약이 잔류된 수삼을 이용하여 홍삼과 농축액 제조시 azoxystrobin, fenhexamid, cyprodinil의 감소계수(dry base)는 홍삼에서 0.66, 0.94, 0.28, 홍삼농축액에서 3.25, 4.94, 1.01이였다. This study was performed to acquire scientific data for establishing the maximum residue limits (MRLs) of pesticides in Korean red ginseng and its extract. Pesticides (azoxystrobin, fenhexamid, cyprodinil) were applied to a cultivated field of ginseng, and the fresh ginseng was harvested and processed to make Korean red ginseng and its extract. The reduction rates of the residue pesticides were calculated by determining the pesticide contents in each stage of ginseng processing. The residue levels in fresh ginseng were 0.12 ppm for azoxystrobin, 0.19 ppm for fenhexamid, and 1.78 ppm for cyprodinil. The residue levels in Korean red ginseng were 0.24, 0.54, and 1.49 ppm, and in the extract 0.81, 1.93, and 3.66 ppm for azoxystrobin, fenhexamid, and cyprodinil, respectively. The steaming and processing of fresh ginseng increased azoxystrobin and fenhexamid residues, but cyprodinil was reduced. The reduction rates (dry basis) of azoxystrobin, fenhexamid, and cyprodinil were 0.66, 0.94, and 0.28 for Korean red ginseng, and 3.25, 4.94, and 1.01 for the extract, respectively.
