Summary

The shelf life of fresh American ginseng roots could be extended to nearly 3 months under proper storage conditions. Fresh ginseng roots should be carefully cleaned with cold water and treated with antimicrobial agent and then stored under controlled atmosphere at 5% CO2 or packaged in modified atmosphere using medium permeable films (PD-961). These conditions should maintain the shelf life of fresh ginseng for 3 months at 2-4 °C with little notable loss in quality.
