Ginseng

“In the in vitro antioxidant assay, P. ginseng polysaccharides combined with L. plantarum C88 were found to possess significant DPPH, ABTS and superoxide anion radicals scavenging activities”

P. ginseng polysaccharides → showed → significant DPPH, ABTS and superoxide anion radicals scavenging activities

“acidic polysaccharides showed better antioxidant activity than neutral polysaccharides”

acidic P. ginseng polysaccharides → showed → better antioxidant activity than neutral polysaccharides

“Acidic P. ginseng polysaccharide and L. plantarum C88 together inhibited the formation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant capacities (T-AOC) in a dose-dependent manner”

acidic P. ginseng polysaccharide and L. plantarum C88 → inhibited → the formation of malondialdehyde (MDA)

“Acidic P. ginseng polysaccharide and L. plantarum C88 together inhibited the formation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant capacities (T-AOC) in a dose-dependent manner”

acidic P. ginseng polysaccharide and L. plantarum C88 → increased → the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant capacities (T-AOC)

“The highest total flavonoid content was 4.75mg/g (d.b) in 150°C for 2hr (control: 0.39 mg/g).”

total flavonoid content → increases → ginseng
