Comparison of the Transformation Ability of the Major Saponins in Panax notoginseng by Penicillum fimorum Enzyme and Commercial β-glucosidase [PDF]
Ginsenosides with less sugar groups, which are called minor ginsenosides, might have a greater pharmacological activity and better adsorptive ability, but their content in nature is extremely low.

High-density immobilization of a ginsenoside-transforming β-glucosidase for enhanced food-grade production of minor ginsenosides. [PDF]
Use of recombinant glycosidases is a promising approach for the production of minor ginsenosides, e.g., Compound K (CK) and F1, which have potential applications in the food industry. However, application of these recombinant enzymes for food-grade preparation of minor ginsenosides are limited by the lack of suitable expression hosts and low ...

Highly Regioselective Biotransformation of Protopanaxadiol-type and Protopanaxatriol-type Ginsenosides in the Underground Parts of Panax notoginseng to 18 Minor Ginsenosides by Talaromyces flavus. [PDF]
The transformation of major ginsenosides to minor ginsenosides by microorganisms was considered to be an environmentally friendly method. Compared with GRAS (generally recognized as safe) strains, non-food-grade microorganisms could transform polar ginsenosides to various minor ginsenosides.

The potential of minor ginsenosides isolated from the leaves of Panax ginseng as inhibitors of melanogenesis. [PDF]
Three minor ginsenosides, namely, ginsenoside Rh6 (1), vina-ginsenoside R4 (2) and vina-ginsenoside R13 (3), were isolated from the leaves of hydroponic Panax ginseng. The chemical structures were determined based on spectroscopic methods, including fast atom bombardment mass spectroscopy (FAB-MS), 1D-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 2D-NMR, and ...

Effects of Minor Ginsenosides, Ginsenoside Metabolites, and Ginsenoside Epimers on the Growth of Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
In the previous report, we have demonstrated that ginsenoside Rc, one of major ginsenosides, is a major component for the restoration for normal growth of worms in cholesterol-deprived medium. In the present study, we further investigated the roles of minor ginsenosides, such as ginsenoside Rh1 and Rh2, ginsenoside metabolites such as compound K (CK ...
