This study aimed to determine the effect of extraction temperature and time on the antioxidant activity of hot water extract from Panax ginseng sprout powder and to evaluate the suitability of this extract for use in dairy products. Water-soluble fractions of commercial Panax ginseng sprout powder were obtained by hot water extraction at 25, 60, or 80°C for 0.5, 2, 12, or 24 h. The antioxidant activity of each extract was evaluated by measuring its free radical scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS). DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity increased with extraction temperature from 25 to 80°C. At 80°C, increasing the extraction time from 0.5 to 2 h led to increases in DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity. Thus, the extract obtained under 2 h at 80°C was selected for addition to milk and yogurt. After 16 days of storage, there were no significant changes in the pH of the milk or the antioxidant activity of the extract. With regard to yogurt fermentation, adding the extract did not affect the pH or the number of viable lactic acid bacteria. In conclusion, hot water extract from Panax ginseng sprout powder can be added to dairy products to enhance antioxidant activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
