Changes in nutritional compositions of processed mountain-cultivated ginseng sprouts (Panax ginseng) and screening for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties

Comprehensive Comparison of Chemical Composition and Antioxidant Activity of Panax ginseng Sprouts by Different Cultivation Systems in a Plant Factory

“…Kim et al [ 23 ] and Hwang et al [ 6 ] recently reported that the ginsenosides Re and Rd of produced PGSs in plant factories were the major ginsenoside compounds. The ginsenoside Rg1, Re, Rd, and F2 have various biological effects, including antioxidative, antidiabetes, anti-inflammatory, antidementia, and antitumor activities [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Compared with the earlier reported data associated with the plant factory, our results were higher than in below-ground PGSs (25.81–34.19 and 37.39 mg/g) [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…In contrast, they were lower than the above-ground PGSs (61.31–110 and 101.73 mg/g) [ 5 , 6 ]. In addition, there was a large amount contained in soil-cultured PGSs [ 29 ] and mountain-cultivated ginseng sprouts [ 24 ]. Our results are similar to those of prior studies, which showed that Rg1 and Re were the major ginsenoside compounds in hydroponic-cultured ginseng and soil-cultured ginseng, respectively [ 5 , 6 , 30 ].…”

“…Previously, ten phenolic/or flavonoid profiles (such as salicylic acid, vanillic acid, ascorbic acid, p -coumaric acid, ferulic acid, caffecic acid, gentisic acid, p -hydorxybenzoic acid, maltol, cinnamic acid, protocatechuic acid, syringic acid, and quercetin) were investigated in fresh and/or processed ginseng/or ginseng seed [ 16 , 24 , 28 , 31 ]. Chung et al [ 32 ] reported that Korean ginseng contains p -coumaric acid, which is especially highest in the leaves.…”

“…This raw material also contains polysaccharides, peptidoglycans (panaxans A-U), polyacetylenes, essential oil, sesquiterpene alcohols, sterols, flavonols, and phenolacids. Moreover, the activity of wild-growing ginseng is higher than plantation ginseng [171][172][173].…”
