Description

Fermented ginseng composition which simultaneously enhanced gamma-aminobutyl acid and bioconverted saponin with lactic acid bacteria {A FERMENTED GINSENG COMPOSITION STRENGTHENED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH γ-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID AND BIOCONVERSION SAPONIN BY LACTIC ACID BACTERIA}

The present invention relates to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) having various physiologically active effects, such as the prevention of senile diseases, and bioconverted saponins having anticancer and anti-allergic activity, that is, compound K, ginsenoside Rh2, and ginsenosides. The present invention relates to a ginseng composition and a pharmaceutical composition having the above effect, wherein at least one saponin selected from the group consisting of seed Rk1 and ginsenoside Rh1 is simultaneously strengthened using a lactic acid bacterium fermentation technique. The present invention also relates to a method for enhancing the content of gamma-aminobutyl acid and active saponin while fermenting ginseng or glutamic acid (or glutamate, glutamic acid) added ginseng.

Gamma-aminobutyl acid has a molecular formula of H ₂ NCH ₂ CH ₂ COOH, a derivative of an amino acid having a molecular weight of 103.12, and is one of neurotransmitters present in the brain and the like. Gamma-aminobutyric acid improves cerebral blood flow and enhances metabolism, and is effective in mental stability, stroke, head trauma, and cerebral artery restraint. In addition, it lowers blood pressure and prevents high blood pressure (Masashi et al., Nippon Nogeikagaku Kaishi). , 61 (11): 1449-1451 (1987)).

Gamma-aminobutyric acid has recently been used as a pharmaceutical or health food material and is widely known to be widely distributed in plants such as vegetables, fruits, rice, and soybeans, but its content is extremely low and does not show physiological activity. Recently, however, green tea, rice germ, germinated brown rice, etc., having a high gamma-aminobutyl acid content, have been sold in Japan. As a method of increasing the gamma-aminobutyl acid content, a method of increasing the content of gamma-aminobutyl acid in soybean leaves by 20-40 times by cold shock or mechanical stimulation was used.

GABARON tea used in Japan is a green tea (GAYRON, Nippon Shokuhin Kagaku Kogaku Kaishi. 46 (4): 274 ~) that has increased the GABA content by anaerobic treatment (carbon dioxide treatment) of tea leaves with high glutamic acid content. 277 (1999)) and green tea products with increased GABA content (Yusuke et al., Nippon Shokuhin Kagaku Kogaku Kaishi. 46 (7): 462-466 (1999)) were developed. In Korea, a method of increasing the gamma-aminobutyl acid content by anaerobic treatment of green tea leaves for about 12 hours has been developed (Korean Patent Publication No. 1999-0034313).

 In order to increase the GABA content in rice, a high pressure treatment method (Miwako et al., Nippon Shokuhin Kagaku Kogaku Kaishi. 46 (5): 329 to 333 (1999)), and a method of immersing in water (Takayo et al., J. Agric. Food Chem. 42: 1122-1125 (1994).

In addition, when GABA content was increased by anaerobic treatment with gas such as nitrogen dioxide in soybean (Mitsuaki et al., Nippon Shokuhin Kogyo Gakkaishi. 36 (11): 916 ~ 919 (1989)), when GABA content was increased by anaerobic treatment of radish leaves. (John et al., Plant Physiol. 49: 572-578 (1972)), but there is no example of increasing the GABA content by using ginseng.

Ginseng is a perennial root of the genus Ginseng, which belongs to the genus Oga, according to the plant taxonomy. About 11 species of ginseng are known on the earth. For example, Ginseng is native to the Far East of Asia (North 33-48: Korea, North Manchuria, Russia) Excellent Goryeo ginseng ( Panax ginseng CAMeyer); American ginseng ( Panax quinquefolium L.) growing and growing in the United States and Canada; Panax notoginseng FHChen, wild or cultivated in southwestern Guangxi province from southeastern Yunnan Province of China; And Panax japonicus CAMeyer, which are distributed from Japan, southwest China, and Nepal.

Ginseng is not only stored as a commodity in the new agricultural plant, but has been used as a valuable medicine since ancient times. Many pharmacological experiments to date have revealed that ginseng strengthens the nonspecific resistance of the body to stress and has an acidic action. In addition, hypertension, insulin action, hypoglycemic effect in ALLOXAN diabetic mice, liver RNA synthesis in white rats, protein synthesis, sugar and lipid metabolism promoting effect, and anti-cancer effects were found.

The ginseng has been used for various diseases such as psychiatric diseases, diseases of the nervous system, and diabetes in the form of herbal medicine mainly in Asian countries such as Korea, China, Japan, and saponins, the main components of the ginseng, are tonic, gangjeong, It is known to have an effect on sedation molding and antihypertension.

Currently, the use of ginseng is red ginseng or ginseng, which is produced by heating white ginseng or ginseng, dried at room temperature, at a temperature of 98-100 ° C., or ginseng, black ginseng, which is prepared by heating at 120-180 ° C. It is used in the form of heat-treated ginseng.

On the other hand, the root of ginseng contains about 4 to 10% of ginseng saponin (Korean ginseng is 4 to 8% and American ginseng is 4 to 10%). The ginseng saponin is a mixture of various ginsenosides, among which Ginsenosides Rb1, Rc and Rg1 are relatively high in Korea, while ginsenosides Rb1 and Re are relatively high in the United States.

The types of ginsenoside components and their pharmacological efficacy contained in ginseng are shown in Table 1 below.
