“…Ginseng contains saponin, ginsenosides, essential oils, polyacetylenic alcohol, peptides, vitamins, and polysaccharides (Cheung et al, 2007; Kang et al, 2007; Jin et al, 2008; Wee et al, 2011). Various beneficial pharmacological effects of ginseng or its components have been reported, including anti-cancer, anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory, anti-fatigue, anti-stress, and immunomodulatory activities (Kim et al, 2002; Park et al, 2004; Sumiyoshi et al, 2010; Lee and Cho, 2011). Red ginseng is produced by steaming fresh ginseng at 95°C to 100°C for a reasonable time (Kim et al, 2009).…”
