KR20010000579A - Decomposition of ginseng by saccharification using acid - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: A decomposition method of ginseng by saccharification using acid is provided to improve the efficacy of medicinal herbs and promote the permeation of the materials into the body. CONSTITUTION: The method is characterized in the following steps: (i) converting the dried and pulverized ginseng into an anhydride; (ii) mixing the powdered ginseng with acid such as 0.4-0.7wt% of muriatic acid, 0.5-0.7wt% of Oxalic Acid or 0.4-0.6wt% of sulfuric acid; (iii) saccharifying the mixture by heating at 2-2.5 atmospheric pressure for 40-60min and cooling; and then (iv) washing the saccharified mixture in water 2-3 times by centrifuging and drying.

Description

Degradation of Ginseng by Acid Glycation

Ginseng is a semi-negative herb that belongs to the genus Oga and Ginseng. It is a plant that grows in China, Japan, and North America, including Korea, and it is proved that Korean ginseng is the best among ginseng.

Goryeo ginseng was used for medicinal purposes about 4,000-5,000 years ago, and its ginseng was so excellent that it was called Yeong Yak, Seon Yak, Bulchocho, and was known not only in Korea but also in China in the Three Kingdoms.

The first person to publicize the value of ginseng is Chinese laborer and the record used for medicinal use of ginseng can be found in the book shelter of Chinese history.

The processing method of ginseng was made simultaneously with cultivation. The primary product of fresh ginseng was about 75% of water content, so it was difficult to store, so it was dried naturally to make white ginseng other than yellowish white. It was steamed and dried to prepare a reddish yellow ginseng. White ginseng is peeled and dried naturally in the sun with 4 ~ 5 years old ginseng as raw material. In the case of red ginseng, after drying steamed ginseng for 6 years, it was commercialized.

In other words, the development of processing has been developed from fresh ginseng to white ginseng to red ginseng.

In ginseng, ginseng used as a raw material is strongly linked to various active ingredients including saponin, so it can't be decomposed and absorbed when a person ingests it, and white ginseng is naturally dried. Although it is better, it does not have a great effect, and even if it is added, it is difficult to expect a good effect because the decomposition is incomplete even if the active ingredient is extracted.

In the case of red ginseng, the active ingredient can be extracted because it is a heat-dried product, but it is considered to be incomplete in terms of decomposition. In the case of red ginseng, it is customary to eat it in order to see better effect. Red ginseng extract was also extracted with an active ingredient, which was deemed incomplete.

Among ginseng, fresh ginseng is the lowest in terms of efficacy, followed by white ginseng, and the best product so far is steamed and dried red ginseng. So Dal was extracted and decomposed with active ingredients by acidification to make it most convenient and effective without any inconvenience.

Ginseng decomposed by acid glycosylation has a low molecular weight, so it is well absorbed and used even when ingested. Also, it is absorbed by skin massage, which is effective for various effects locally and systemically. In other words, it will be ginseng applied while eating.

Ginseng was prepared in the following order: washing → drying → grinding → acid saccharification → washing water → drying → product.

The acid glycosylation method is 0.4-0.7% for hydrochloric acid, 0.5-0.7% for oxalic acid and 0.4-0.6% for sulfuric acid. The mixture of these acids and ginseng powder is about 40- Heat for 60 minutes to saccharify. There are two types of glycosylation method: discontinuous glycosylation and continuous saccharification. Currently, the saccharification method has many advantages.

The acid-glycosylated ginseng was cooled and washed with water two to three times by centrifugation and dried.

Ginseng decoction, heat-drying method (red ginseng) and extract extraction method are considered to be incomplete decomposition even though the active ingredients are extracted. It will be broken down and its molecular weight will be absorbed well by the body, which will help prevent and cure adult diseases.
