Enzymatic Biotransformation of Red Ginseng and the Compositional Change of Ginsenosides
نویسندگان
چکیده
Compositional changes in ginsenosides and crude saponin during enzymatic biotransformation of red ginseng were studied on three commercial polysaccharide-hydrolyzing enzymes, Pectinex, Termamyl, and Celluclast. Considerable enhancement of crude saponin production was observed with Pectinex, whereas hydrothermally processed black ginseng showed significant decrease. Celluclast-treated red ginseng contained five-fold higher concentration of protopanaxadiol-type ginsenoside Rd, with decrease of precursor Rb1. Red ginseng treated with Pectinex showed distinct increases of protopanaxatriol-type ginsenosides Re and Rg1.

Ginseng (the root of Panax ginseng
aceae) is frequently used in Asian countries as a traditional medicine. The major components of ginseng are ginsenosides. These ginsenosides have been reported to show various biological activities including antiinflammatory activity and antitumor effects. The pharmacological actions of these ginsenosides have been explained by the biotransformation of ginsenosides by human intestinal bacteria....
متن کاملProduction of ginsenoside F1 using commercial enzyme Cellulase KN.
BACKGROUND Ginsenoside F1, a pharmaceutical component of ginseng, is known to have antiaging, antioxidant, anticancer, and keratinocyte protective effects. However, the usage of ginsenoside F1 is restricted owing to the small amount found in Korean ginseng. METHODS To enhance the production of ginsenoside F1 as a 10 g unit with high specificity, yield, and purity, an enzymatic bioconversion m...
متن کاملBiotransformation of Panax ginseng extract by rat intestinal microflora: identification and quantification of metabolites using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
BACKGROUND In general, after Panax ginseng is administered orally, intestinal microbes play a crucial role in its degradation and metabolization process. Studies on the metabolism of P. ginseng by microflora are important for obtaining a better understanding of their biological effects. METHODS In vitro biotransformation of P. ginseng extract by rat intestinal microflora was investigated at 3...

BACKGROUND In this study, we examined the effects of various enzymes on chemical conversions of ginsenosides in ginseng extract prepared by amylases. METHODS Rapidase, Econase CE, Viscozyme, Ultraflo L, and Cytolase PCL5 were used for secondary enzymatic hydrolysis after amylase treatment of ginseng extract, and ginsenoside contents, skin permeability, and chemical compositions including tota...
متن کاملInhibition of P-glycoprotein leads to improved oral bioavailability of compound K, an anticancer metabolite of red ginseng extract produced by gut microflora.
Ginsenosides are hydrolyzed extensively by gut microflora after oral administration, and their metabolites are pharmacologically active against lung cancer cells. In this study, we measured the metabolism of various ginsenosides by gut microflora and determined the mechanisms responsible for the observed pharmacokinetic behaviors of its active metabolite, Compound K (C-K). The results showed th...
