This book aimed at reviewing the recent advances in chemistry, metabolism and biological activities of ginseng to promote international exchange of new idea and new use, and to encourage the future research. The invited authors are engaged in ginseng research for a long time and accumulate rich experiences. Indeed, their articles are full of new ideas, new thoughts and new technology as well. Some findings is the new discoveries for the first time in the world.
