FIG. 1 is a method for manufacturing black ginseng low molecular collagen essence according to an example embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the method for manufacturing the black ginseng low molecular collagen essence, first, koji mould is added to ginseng, to manufacture black ginseng (step S10).

The ginseng is firstly washed and then has an original shape without cutting. Then, the koji mould (Kojipilz) is added to the ginseng, to manufacture the black ginseng.

Here, 0.2 weight % of the koji mould may be added to 99.8 weight % of the ginseng, to manufacture the black ginseng. The ginseng added with the koji mould may be stored with a temperature between about 50° C. and about 60° C., preferably about 55° C., more than one week.

Due to the relatively long time storage, the ginseng may be manufactured to be the black ginseng, by the koji mould.

Then, the black ginseng is mixed with oligosaccharide, to manufacture black ginseng concentrate (step S20).

Here, the black ginseng may be mixed with the oligosaccharide with a weight ratio of 1:2, to manufacture the black ginseng concentrate. That is, the weight ratio between a weight of the black ginseng and a weight of the oligosaccharide is about 1:2. Then, the mixture of the black ginseng and the oligosaccharide may be stored with a temperature between about 50° C. and about 60° C., preferably about 55° C., more than one week.

Thus, the black ginseng concentrate may be manufactured.

Then, fermentation and sterilization are performed after adding collagen to the black ginseng concentrate (step S30).

Here, 3 weight % of the collagen may be added to 97 weight % of the black ginseng concentrate and then the fermentation may be performed. The fermentation may be performed with a temperature between about 50° C. and about 60° C. during one day to three days, preferably two days.

Due to the above fermentation, the collagen becomes low molecular collagen, and thus the black ginseng low molecular collagen essence.

Then, for sterilizing the manufactured black ginseng low molecular collagen essence, the black ginseng low molecular collagen essence is sterilized with a temperature more than about 90° C. during ten minutes to thirty minutes.

Accordingly, the collagen included in the black ginseng concentrate may become the low molecular collagen, and the black ginseng low molecular collagen essence may be manufactured. Here, the manufactured black ginseng low molecular collagen essence may be sterilized, to form or manufacture edible black ginseng low molecular collagen essence.

FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B are graphs showing the number of collagen molecules before and after the fermentation, in the method of FIG. 1.

In addition, in cases that the black ginseng low molecular collagen essence is manufactured via the method mentioned above, the number of the low molecular collagens according to the molecular weight before and after the fermentation is listed in Table 1. FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B are graphs showing Table 1.

Referring to Table 1 and FIG. 2A, the kinds of the collagens, that is, the number of the collagens according to the molecular weight are listed, after adding the collagen to the black ginseng concentrate but before the fermentation. In contrast, referring to Table 1 and FIG. 2B, the kinds of the collagens, that is, the number of the collagens according to the molecular weight are listed, after adding the collagen to the black ginseng concentrate and after the fermentation.

11	1,400~4,300	6	1
Total		79	419

As shown in Table 1, FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, as in the present example embodiment, when the fermentation is performed, the collagen included in the black ginseng concentrate includes a lot of relatively low molecular collagens having the molecular weight between 400 da and 700 da, compared to the collagen before or without the fermentation.

Thus, since the low molecular collagens are more included, when the black ginseng low molecular collagen essence is ingested, the collagen may be more easily absorbed into the body.

According to the present example embodiments, the collagen mixed with the black ginseng concentrate is to be low molecular collagen via the fermentation, so that the absorption into the body may be relatively increased. Thus, the effect of the collagen and the absorption of the black ginseng may be more increased.

Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described, it is understood that the present invention should not be limited to these exemplary embodiments but various changes and modifications can be made by one ordinary skilled in the art within the spirit and scope of the present invention as hereinafter claimed.
