To develop a new functional material, leaf, stem and root of Panax gjnseng were analyzed in their antioxidant activities. Root and leaf of ginseng collected from 3 regions, exhibited inhibition activity as on peroxidation of low density lipoprotein and linoleic acid, respectively. Scavenging activities of stem, leaf and root of ginseng on superoxide anion radical were , respectively. Total phenol contents of leaf, stem and root of ginseng were respectively as tannic acid equivalent.
