Production of Ginsenoside-Rg(3) from Lipomyces starkeyi Grown on Ginseng-Steaming Effluent

摘要

To produce ginsenoside-Rg(3) enriched yeast from ginseng-steaming effluent (GSE), Lipomyces starkeyi, which tends to grow well in GSE, was cultured in sterilized GSE and its growth and production of ginsenoside-Rg were determined. Growth of L. starkeyi was 86.1 mg per g GSE and its ginsenoside-Rg(3) contents was 0.013 mg per g GSE.
