The antibacterial and antioxidant potentials of extruded ginseng extract (EGE) with 60% ethanol and methanolwere investigated. The inhibitory activity of the EGE in Gram-positive bacteria was significantly higher than in Gram-negative bacteria. Higher antibacterial activity was observed with methanol ginseng extract when moisture content and barreltemperature were 20% and 115oC, respectively, that diameter of inhibition zone at 1,500mg/mL was 15.40±0.13mm forBacillus subtilis and 9.31±0.05mm for Salmonella typhimurium. The amount of total phenolics was highest in extrudedginseng at 20% moisture content and 115oC barrel temperature. Especially, a positive correlation was observed between thetotal phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the extracts. In the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl radical (DPPH) system, alltested extract of extruded ginseng at 20% moisture content exhibited very strong antioxidant properties when compared to redginseng with percent scavenging effect of 23-35% at 20mg/mL. In conclusion, it can be said that the extracts of extrudedginseng could be used as natural antimicrobial and antioxidant agents in the food preservation.
