This research focused on isolating and studying an enzyme from honey mushroom that can convert a common ginsenoside (found in ginseng) into more medicinally valuable compounds. The enzyme was able to efficiently transform the original compound into two products with enhanced health benefits. Impacts on everyday life: • Could lead to more effective ginseng-based supplements and medicines • Demonstrates potential new uses for edible mushrooms in drug production • May help make beneficial compounds more affordable and accessible • Provides a natural way to enhance the medicinal properties of ginseng • Could contribute to development of new anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer treatments
