Canola oil is an excellent vehicle for eliminating pesticide residues in aqueous ginseng extract

We previously reported that two-phase partition chromatography between ginseng water extract and soybean oil efficiently eliminated pesticide residues. However, an undesirable odor and an unpalatable taste unique to soybean oil were two major disadvantages of the method. This study was carried out to find an alternative vegetable oil that is cost effective, labor effective and efficient without leaving an undesirable taste and smell.

Endophytic YIM PH30019: a promising biocontrol agent with hyperosmolar, mycoparasitism and antagonistic activities of induced volatile organic compounds on root-rot pathogenic fungi of

Biocontrol agents are thought as promising and environmental friendly approaches as agrochemicals for phytodiseases have caused serious environmental and health problems. Trichoderma species have been widely used in suppression of soil-borne pathogens. In this study, an endophytic fungus Trichoderma gamsii YIM PH30019 from healthy Panax notoginseng root was investigated on its biocontrol potential.

Ginseng, the natural effectual antiviral: Protective effects of Korean red ginseng against viral infection

Korean red ginseng (KRG) is a heat-processed ginseng developed by the repeated steaming and air-drying of fresh ginseng. Compared to fresh ginseng, KRG has been shown to possess greater pharmacological activities and stability because of changes that occur in its chemical constituents during the steaming process. In addition to anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulatory activities, KRG and its purified components have also been shown to possess protective effects against microbial infections.

A Single-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study on the Efficacy and Safety of “Enzyme-Treated Red Ginseng Powder Complex (BG11001)” For Anti-Wrinkle and Pro-Elasticity In Subject with Healthy Skin

During the aging process, skin shows visible changes, characterized by a loss of elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles due to reduced collagen production and decreased elasticity of elastin fibers. Panax Ginseng Meyer has been used as a traditional medicine for various diseases due to its wide range of biological activities including skin protective effects. Ginsenosides are the main components responsible for the biological activities of ginseng. However, the protective activities of enzymatic preparation of red ginseng against human skin aging have not been investigated.

The effects of Panax ginseng, zearalenol and estradiol on sperm function

Estrogen signaling pathways are modulated by exogenous factors. Panax ginseng exerts multiple activities in biological systems and is classified as an adaptogen. Zearalenol is a potent mycoestrogen that may be present in herbs and crops arising from contamination or endophytic association. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of Panax ginseng, zearalenol and estradiol in tests on spermatozoal function.
