This article aims to investigate the optimization of preparation of the minor ginsenosides by this microwave processing method using single-factor experiments and response surface methodology (RSM), and discuss the blood-enriching activity and hemostatic activity of the extract of microwave processed P. notoginseng (EMPN) The RSM for production of the minor ginsenosides was based on a three-factor and three-level Box-Behnken design. When the optimum conditions of microwave power, temperature and time were 495.03 W, 150.68 \u00b0C and 20.32 min, respectively, results predicted that the yield of total minor ginsenosides (Y9) would be 93.13%. The actual value of Y9 was very similar to the predicted value. In addition, the pharmacological results of EMPN in vivo showed that EMPN had the effect of enriching blood in N-acetylphenylhydrazine (APH) and cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced blood deficient mice because of the increasing content of white blood cells (WBCs) and hemoglobin (HGB) in blood. Hemostatic activity in vitro of EMPN showed that it had significantly shortened the clotting time in PT testing (p &lt; 0.05). The hemostatic effect of EMPN was mainly caused by its components of Rh4, 20(S)-Rg3 and 20(R)-Rg3. This microwave processing method is simple and suitable to mass-produce the minor ginsenosides from P. notoginseng.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules23061243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,24]],"date-time":"2018-05-24T02:55:43Z","timestamp":1527130543000},"page":"1243","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Production of Minor Ginenosides from Panax notoginseng by Microwave Processing Method and Evaluation of Their Blood-Enriching and Hemostatic Activity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Huiying","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Life Science and Technology, and Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Panax Notoginseng, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Provincal Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming 650231, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ye","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Life Science and Technology, and Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Panax Notoginseng, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiuming","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Life Science and Technology, and Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Panax Notoginseng, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8423-3976","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuan","family":"Qu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Life Science and Technology, and Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Panax Notoginseng, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"881","article-title":"Comparative of Notoginseng Radix Et Rhizome and its processed products on enriching blood and supplementing qi of rats with blood-deficiency","volume":"13","author":"Wan","year":"2014","journal-title":"Chin.
