This study was conducted to investigate changes in the ginsenoside compositions of cultivated wild ginseng caused by steaming at different temperatures (95, 117, 126, and 132℃) and times (10, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110, and 130 min). On increasing steaming temperatures from 95 to 132℃, levels of protopanaxadiol (PPD) ginsenosides Rg3, Rk1, and Rg5 increased from 0.69, 1.11, and 1.79 mg/g to 4.08, 5.16, and 8.98 mg/g, respectively, whereas levels of protopanaxatriol (PPT) ginsenosides Re, Rf, Rg6, F4, Rk3, and Rh4 increased from 2.04, 0.79, 0.53, 0.77, 0.53, and 0.52 mg/g to 2.44, 2.50, 1.83, 2.74, 1.39, and 1.72 mg/g, respectively. Furthermore, amounts of total PPD ginsenosides and total ginsenosides increased on increasing temperature, and total PPT ginsenoside amounts peaked at 126℃. In addition, when the steaming time was increased from 10 to 70 min, amounts of PPD ginsenosides Rg3, Rk1, and Rg5 increased 2.06, 1.90, and 1.89-fold, respectively, and amounts of PPT ginsenosides Rf, Rg6, F4, Rk3, and Rh4 increased 1.22, 1.44, 1.66, 1.61, and 1.95-fold, respectively. However, levels of total PPT ginsenosides and total ginsenosides peaked at a steaming time of 10 min. KCI Citation Count: 0
