Therefore, there are recent cases of the introduction of blockchain tokens for quality and supply chain management; however, there are difficulties in introducing tokens in food fields, such as forest and agricultural products. To introduce tokens in the food sector, we selected wild-simulated ginseng, subject to quality management in Korea, analyzed the quality management process of wild-simulated ginseng, and selected the target for blockchain token introduction. We then identified potential token-related issues from consumers and suggested possible solutions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22145153","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,11]],"date-time":"2022-07-11T00:06:21Z","timestamp":1657497981000},"page":"5153","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Blockchain Token-Based Wild-Simulated Ginseng Quality Management Method"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4204-870X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Youngjun","family":"Sung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cyber Security Laboratory, Department of Computer Engineering, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6616-2713","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sunghyun","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cyber Security Laboratory, Department of Computer Engineering, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoojae","family":"Won","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cyber Security Laboratory, Department of Computer Engineering, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Willer, H., Travinicek, J., and Meier CSchlatter, B.
