The extraction of ginseng saponins with near critical or supercritical ammonia(SCF-NH3) was carried out at 80℃-160℃ and ammonia densities of 339.8-525 mg/cm3. In order to evaluate brownish color of white ginseng extracts, a spetrophotometric method was applied in ultraviolet and visible range. The extractibilities of ginseonoside Rb1, -Rb2, -Rc, -Rd, -Re, -Rf, -Rg1, and -Rg2 were determined by high performance liquid choromatography. The best extractability was 7.36% at 133℃ and 403 ± 24.605 mg/cm3. In the case of the high extraction temperature, it is thought that extraction times can be reduced and the selectivity of protopanaxatriol can be increased. The brownish color of extracts is affected by temperature and extractability. When extraction temperature is between 132℃ and 140℃, it is shown that the range is the retrograde region where extractablility decrease with increasing temperature.
