홍미삼엑기스를 제조할 때 추출용매와 그 농도 및 추출온도와 추출시간 등의 추출조건이 홍삼엑기스의 조회분 함량과 무기성분의 조성에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 무기성분의 용출량과 이행율은 추출용매에탄올의 농도가 증가 될수록 낮아 졌으며 특히 70% 이상 농도에서 현저하였다. 물 추출구(區)의 경우 용출량은 K의 1.55%로 가장 높았고 Cu가 11ppm으로 가장 낮았으며 원료함량대비로는 Ca의 91.41% 용출이행으로 가장 높았고 Mg이 30.14%로 가장 낮았다. 추출온도 상승에 따라서는 큰 차이가 없었으나 소량씩 증가되는 경향이었고 초기용출이행이 커 $1{sim}3$회 추출에 80%이상이 용출되었다. 조회분의 경우도 같은 경향이었고 몰 추출구(區)의 경우 3회 추출에 92.38%이상의 용출되어 70% 에탄올추출구(區)에 비하여 훨씬 높았다.
The effect of extracting conditions on the content of inorganic compounds of red ginseng extract was studied with respect to the change in ethanolic concentration ranges of $0{sim}90%$ and temperature of $70{sim}100^{circ}C$ during $1{sim}5$ times of extraction. Each extraction time was taken 8 hours at given temperature. Little effect of temperature on inorganic compounds was observed, while higher ethanol concentrations, particularly higher than 70%, were resulted a significant decreased in their contents. The yield of inorganic compounds in water was shown 80% over after 3rd extraction, while content of crude ash was observed similar tendency and their contents were significant increased in water than in 70% ethanolic concentration. In the process of extraction with water, 1.55% of the potassium content was the highest value, and the smallest was 11ppm of the copper. But in the extraction ratio to raw mateirls, the highest ratio was 91.4% of the calcium, and smallest was 30.4.% of the magnesium.
