This study was conducted to evaluate the microbial quality of 6 varieties of brown rice Dasik prepared with roasted bean powder, juice, red ginseng, propolis, and a combination of red ginseng and propolis during storage at 5 and 30°C. The changes in moisture content and pH, total plate counts and molds were evaluated. In addition, the survival of artificially inoculated O157:H7 into Dasik was studied during storage. As a result, the moisture content of the samples ranged from 9 to 13% and the pH ranged from 2.7 to 6.7 (<0.05). In Dasik made with red ginseng, propolis, or a combination of both, total plate count was not increased and the growth of artificially inoculated was inhibited (<0.05). These results suggest that addition of ingredients such as red ginseng, propolis, and juice to Dasik improves the microbial safety and quality during storage.

Background: Developing antiviral agents against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been a global goal since the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic emerged in 2019. Korean Red Ginseng (KRG), recognized for its immunomodulating and antiviral properties, may be effective against SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the efficiency of KRG in a human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2)-expressing mouse model infected with pseudo-typed SARS-CoV-2 (PSV).

Background: Neuroglobin (Ngb) and growth-associated protein (GAP) 43 in neurons are associated with axonal regeneration. Korean Red Ginseng Extract (KRGE) enhances glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive astrocytes and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) protein activation in normoxic astrocytes. However, crosstalk between neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation and astrocytic HIF-1α in the KRGE-treated normoxic brain and retina remains unclear.

Background: This study was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of Red Ginseng Extract Powder (RGEP) (KGC05pg; Korea Ginseng Corporation, Daejeon, Korea) in achieving glycemic control in prediabetic Korean adults.
Methods: The patients of the RGEP group (n = 49) and those of the placebo group (n = 49) were orally given 2 tablets of RGEP and its matching placebo, respectively, at a dose of 500 mg/day twice daily in the morning and the evening within 30 min after meal during a 12-week treatment period. The patients were assessed for glycemic control parameters, such as fasting blood glucose levels, 30-, 60-, 90-, and 120-min blood glucose levels on an oral glucose tolerance test, Hb1Ac levels and glucose area under the curve, insulin resistance parameters, such as homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, c-peptide and insulinogenic index, and hormone parameters, such as glucagon, adiponectin and glucagon-like peptide-1.

This study investigated the potential ameliorative effects of fermented red ginseng (FRG) extract on sarcopenia-related muscle atrophy in old mice and elucidated the underlying mechanisms. Mice, aged five and twenty months, were divided into seven groups: young and old controls, and old mice treated with extract (200 mg/kg/day), mixed ginsenosides (15 mg/kg/day), and FRG extract (50-200 mg/kg/day). Body weight and grip strength were assessed weekly.
