Ginsenoside Rc (GRc) is a potential pharmacologically active ingredient isolated from ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, Araliaceae). A simple, rapid and sensitive method for determination of GRc in rat plasma was developed based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The

A method has been devised for the chromatographic resolution of glucosidic compounds, ginseng saponins, on polyethersulphone (PES) membrane. The method results in good resolution and quantitative immunoassay for ginsenoside Rb1 (G-Rb1), G-Rc, and G-Rd in crude extracts of various ginsengs.

This study focused on the cloning, expression and characterization of recombinant α-l-arabinosidases from Bifidobacterium longum H-1. α-l-Arabinofuranosidase (AfuB-H1) and bifunctional α-l-arabinopyranosidase/β-d-galactosidase (Apy-H1) from B. longum H-1 were identified by Southern blotting, and their recombinant enzymes were overexpressed in Escherichia coli

To evaluate effects of extrusion process variables on ginsenosides in wheat-ginseng extrudates, a wheat flour-ginseng powder blend (10% ginseng powder, w/w) was extruded in a twin-screw extruder with full factorial combinations of feed moisture (25, 30, and 35%), screw speed
