Dimethyl ether (DME) efficiently extracts valuable ginseng oil from red ginseng marc (RGM). This green solvent method optimizes yield and bioactive compounds, offering a cost-effective alternative for industrial applications.

Area of Science:

  • Green Chemistry
  • Natural Product Extraction
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Red ginseng marc (RGM) is a byproduct rich in lipids and bioactive compounds.
  • Conventional extraction methods for RGM are costly due to harsh conditions and solvent removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate dimethyl ether (DME) as a green solvent for extracting ginseng oil from RGM.
  • To optimize extraction parameters using response surface methodology (RSM).

Main Methods:

  • DME was used as a solvent for ginseng oil extraction from RGM.
  • Response surface methodology (RSM) analyzed the effects of temperature, pressure, and time.

Main Results:

  • Optimal conditions (333 K, 7 MPa, 80 min) yielded 3.37% extraction with high ginsenoside and phenolic content.

  • DME-extracted oil showed superior antioxidant activity and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content compared to ethanol and hexane extracts.
  • DME allowed direct extraction from wet RGM, improving yield and ginsenoside content.

    • Conclusions:

    • DME is a versatile and energy-efficient solvent for extracting bioactive ginseng oil from RGM.
    • The process is suitable for both dry and wet RGM, with practical applications in food and cosmetics.
