Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography Quadrupole-Orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS) was used to compare the composition of ginsenosides in white ginseng (WG) and extruded white ginseng (EWG). A total of 45 saponins, including original neutral ginsenosides, malonyl-ginsenosides, and chemical transformation of ginsenosides, were successfully identified in both WG and EWG. Multivariate statistical analyses including supervised orthogonal partial least squared discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) were used to analyze components of white ginseng before and after extrusion. As a result, three ginsenosides (malonyl (M)-Rb1, M-Rb2, and M-Rc) were found to be increased in WG, while three ginsenosides (Rb2, Rc, and Rg1) were elevated in EWG. In the OPLS-DA S-plot, the different compositions of ginsenoside that were distinguished between WG and EWG were screened out. Experimental results indicate that the UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS is a useful tool to characterize variations of ginsenosides in WG and EWG.

Cardiovascular diseases remain one of the leading causes of mortality among adults worldwide, with elevated blood lipid levels serving as a key modifiable risk factor. This study aimed to investigate the probiotic potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from ginseng sprouts (Panax ginseng Meyer) cultivated under smart-farming conditions, with a particular emphasis on their cholesterol-lowering properties. Out of 485 isolates, five strains of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus were selected based on superior in vitro performance and identified through 16 S rRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.

Korean ginseng is classified into White or Red ginseng based on its processing methods. Traditional Korean medicine recognizes the differing effects and medicinal properties between White or Red ginseng. This study aimed to compare the effects and mechanisms of action of methanolic extracts of White ginseng and Red ginseng (WG and RG, respectively) in a vascular dementia (VaD) mouse model.

Inhibiting body fat accumulation is important for the prevention of obesity. In Japan, three Kampo medicines are commonly used to treat obesity: bofutsushosan, boiogito, and daisaikoto. To compare the influences of these Kampo medicines on the intestinal microbiota, it is necessary to conduct a simultaneous investigation using the same mouse model under the same experimental conditions.
