Popis: This study compared the contents of low molecular ginsenoside according to fermentation process in low grade fresh ginseng. Low grade fresh ginseng was directly inoculated with a 24 h seed culture of Bifidobacterium Longum B6., Lactobacillus casei., and incubated at 36℃ for 72 h. Bifidobacterium Longum B6 was specifically was found to show the best growth on 3,255 × 10 6 CFU/㎖ after 48 h of fermentation. The content of ginsenoside Rb1, Re and Rd were decresed with the fermentation but ginsenoside Rh2 and Rg2 incresed after fermentation process. In the case of low molecular ginse- noside conversion yields were 56.07% of Rh2, 12.03% of Rg3 and 77.11% of Rg2, respectively. In addition, compound-K was irregular conversion yield as long as 72 h of fermentaion. This results indicate that fermentation process could increase the low molecular ginsenoside in low grade fresh ginseng.
