Preparation Method of Fermented Ginseng with high content of highfunctional ginsenoside Rg3 using Kefir, Fermented Ginseng and Fermented Ginseng Concentrate thereby
The present invention relates to a fermentation method of ginseng (fresh ginseng or processed ginseng) with a remarkably increased Rg3 content by using kefir, and fermented ginseng or fermented ginseng concentrate manufactured thereby. The present invention provides a manufacturing method of fermented ginseng or fermented ginseng concentrate, which comprises (A) a sterilization-softening step of heating material ginseng (fresh ginseng, red ginseng or processed ginseng) at 60-70°；C for 10 minutes to 3 hours to sterilize and soften tissues of the material ginseng； (B) an inoculation-fermentation step of inoculating 10-50 g of kefir per 1 kg of the material ginseng, which has been cooled down to the room temperature after step (A), based on grain, and fermenting at the room temperature for 0.5-3 days； and (C) a harvest step of (1) drying (pulverizing) the fermented ginseng with or without removing the residual solution (the kefir culture medium), or (2) pulverizing the fermented ginseng without removing the residual solution, and fermented ginseng or fermented ginseng concentrate manufactured thereby. According to the present invention, high quality fermented ginseng (concentrate) with a high content of ginsenoside, which is excellent in anti-cancer and cancer spreading prevention, can be obtained. Furthermore, economical mass production is made possible as the fermentation condition is mild and the fermentation time is shortened.
