Recent Advances in Ginseng and Glycosides Research

In this book, the authors present current research in the study of glycosides and gingseng. Topics include the synthesis and physico-chemical properties of benzimadazolone derivatives with N-bound glycosidic units; motif-based exploration of glycoside hydrolases family 1; ginsenoside and gintonin; Mediterranean medicinal plants; isoflavone c-glycosides isolated from the root of Kudzu (pueraria lobata) and their estrogenic and antimutagenic activities; changes in the composition of saccharides in rice grains through cooking and digestion using synthetic human saliva; and the effects of ultrasound assisted extraction of water soluble constituents on Brazilian ginseng roots.
