METHOD FOR PRODUCING BLACK GINSENG HAVING INCREASED GINSENOSIDE RH2 COMPONENT CONTENT, AND BLACK GINSENG PRODUCT PRODUCED BY MEANS OF THE PRODUCTION METHOD

摘要

The method for producing black ginseng having increased ginsenoside Rh2 component content of the present invention comprises the steps of: (a) washing ginseng and drying same under predetermined time conditions in a shaded place; and (b) repeatedly carrying out a plurality of times a process in which the dried ginseng is steamed under predetermined temperature and time conditions and is dried under conditions that differ from the temperature and time conditions during the steaming. By producing black ginseng via a plurality of steps under fixed conditions in this way, it is possible to increase the content of ginsenoside Rh2 as compared with hitherto.
