Seasonal variations in the profile and concentrations of essential oil in Zanthoxylum piperitum were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Seasonal changes in the percentages of the main constituents of the essential oil of both leaves and fruits from Z. piperitum varied. Variations in essential oil yield and the amount of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes in leaves and fruits at different developmental stages were significant. The characteristic content of essential oil in leaves was determined mainly due to the content of monoterpenes, and that in fruits was determined largely due to the sesquiterpenes. Twenty-nine compounds in the oil from Z. piperitum leaves were detected; the major compounds were ${\beta}$-phellandrene (26.90%), citronella (15.32%), ${\beta}$-myrcene (3.24%), ${\alpha}$-pinene (2.79%), trans-caryophyllene (2.66%), and fanesyl acetate (2.30%). The highest yield of oil (43.89%) in Z. piperitum leaves was obtained in May but decreased gradually beginning in June. The yield of essential oil from Z. piperitum leaves during early periods was higher than that during later periods and usually decreased from early maturation stages to subsequent stages. However, in contrast to leaves, the oil yield in Z. piperitum fruit increased in June, and oil yield later in the season was higher than that earlier in the season. These results indicate that the essential oil produced from Z. piperitum leaves at the early developmental stages was stored in leaves, and might be transferred to fruit at the final developmental stages.

본 연구의 목적은 정유에 함유되어 있는 살초활성물질을 탐색하여 제초제 개발을 위한 선도 화합물을 발굴하는데 있었다. Amyris(Amyris balsamifera), cajuput (Melaleuca cajeputi), geranium(Pelargonium graveolens), lavender(Lavendula spp.), mandarin(Citrus reticulata), pine(Pinus spp.) 및 rosemary(Rosmarius officinale) 정유에 대한 살초력을 유채(Brassica napus)를 대상으로 in vitro에서 수행한 결과, cajuput 정유의 살초력이 가장 높았다($GR_{50}$ 값, $425{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$). Cajuput 정유에 함유되어 있는 주된 생리활성물질들은 eucalyptol 37,2%, ${\alpha}$-terpineol 11.6%, benzaldehyde 5.2%, linalool 4.1%, ${\alpha}$-pinene 2.5%, ${\beta}$-pinene 2.4%이었으며, 이들 생리활성물질의 살초력($GR_{50}$ 값)은 각각 2,731, 500, 50, 372, 4,363, $4,671{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$이었다. Benzaldehyde의 살초력은 기 보고된 eucalyptol (1,8-cineole)과 ${\alpha}$-pinene보다 높았으므로 향후 새로운 제초제 개발을 위한 선도화합물로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. Cajuput 정유와 이에 함유되어 있는 가장 높은 살초력을 보였던 benzaldehyde를 80kg $ha^{-1}$ 토양처리하였을 때에는 그 어떠한 살초효과도 관찰할 수 없었으나, 경엽처리 하였을 때에는 화본과 잡초인 수수, 돌피, 바랭이는 100% 고사되었다. 그러나 살초효과는 20kg $ha^{-1}$ 이하에서는 전혀 나타나지 않았는데 이는 cajuput 정유와 benzaldehyde의 높은 휘발성 때문인 것으로 추론된다. 본 연구의 결과 cajuput 정유의 살초효과는 높은 약량에서만 나타났으므로 약량저감을 위한 처리시기 재설정과 살초력을 높일 수 있는 제형개발이 요구된다.

본 연구에서는 원료 첨가(오가피, 영지버섯, 솔잎 및 홍삼)를 달리하여 오가피주를 제조하여 영양성분 및 휘발성 향기성분을 분석하였고 기타 주류의 품질요인에 관여하는 요인들을 평가하고 관능검사를 수행함으로서, 제조한 오가피주의 다양한 품질 평가를 수행하여 민속주로의 개발 가능성을 평가하였다. 주정도는 오가피 및 기타의 기능성 소재의 함량을 달리한 4가지 시료에서 각각 14.5-15.3%로 큰 차이를 볼 수는 없었다. 총 유기산 함량은 오가피주가 일반 약주 보다 훨씬 많은 양이 검출되었으며 반면 오가피 및 기타 기능성 소재를 첨가한 시료에서 citric acid와 tartaric acid는 오히려 약간 양이 감소한 것으로 보여졌다. 오가피주의 유리아미노산 함량은 histidine이 가장 많았으며, 총 유리아미노산 및 유리당 함량은 시료 C에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 시료 A 및 B에서는 총 49종의 휘발성 향기성분이 동정되었고 시료 C와 D에서는 각각 48 및 31종의 성분이 동정되었다. 무첨가군인 시료 D의 경우 alcohol류의 함량이 다른 군에 비해 높게 보여졌으며 ethanol의 함량이 79.59%로, iso-butyl alcohol이 0.35%로 다른 군에 비해 높게 보여졌다. 오가피, 영지버섯, 솔잎 및 홍삼이 함유된 시료 A, B, 및 C에서는 다양한 종류의 테르펜 화합물이 확인되었다. 이는 주류 고유의 향기성분 외에 첨가된 오가피, 영지버섯, 솔잎 및 홍삼에 의해 더욱 다양한 향기성분이 나타난 것으로 생각되는데, 특히 ${\alpha}-copaene$의 함량이 시료 D에서보다 A, B 및 C에서 2배 이상 높게 다량 확인되었다. GC-O를 이용하여 향기성분을 관능적으로 동정한 결과 기능성 소재의 배합 비율에 따라 소비자가 느끼는 관능적 특성은 상당히 유동적으로 변할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 오가피 함량이 높은 술일수록 명도가 높아 밝고 황색도가 낮아지는 경향을 볼 수 있었고, 오가피를 0.1%첨가한 오가피주가 좋은 맛과 감칠맛에서 유의적으로 높은 것으로 평가되었다.

We analyzed the total yields and composition of essential oils in leaf extracts of Nepeta cataria by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Thirty-six compounds representing 97.0% of total oil were detected. The major constituents of essential oils in Nepeta cataria were nepetalactone (90.9%), unidentified compound (Retention time 17.35; 1.82%), 1,8-cineol (1.49%), ${\beta}-caryophyllene$ (1.12%), and ${\beta}-pinene$ (1.078%). The volatile compounds in leaf extracts of N. cataria concentrated to nepetalactone ($88.83{\sim}93.33%$) remarkably. In the essential oil of N. cataria cis,trans-nepetalactone ($30.2{\sim}37.8%$) and cis,cis-nepetalactone ($31.5{\sim}37.0%$) were found as the main constituents. The effects of essential oil of N. cataria on the growth of six microorganisms (Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis, B. amyloliquefaciens, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were investigated. The essential oil of N. cataria had strong inhibitory effect on the growth of three fungal species (Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis, and B. amyloliquefaciens). The essential oil from N. cataria was found to have a low antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus, while no activity were found against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results indicate the significant antimicrobial effect, which may be depended on the yield of nepetalactone.

Background: Cardamom (Elettaria cardamom), also known as "Queen of Spices", has been traditionally used as a culinary ingredient due to its pleasant aroma and taste. In addition to this role, studies on cardamom have demonstrated cancer chemopreventive potential in in vitro and in vivo systems. Nevertheless, the precise poly-pharmacological nature of naturally occurring chemo-preventive compounds in cardamom has still not been fully demystified. Methods:In this study, an effort has been made to identify the proapoptopic, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, anti-invasive and anti-angiogenic targets of Cardamom's bioactive principles (eucalyptol, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, d-limonene and geraniol) by employing a dual reverse virtual screening protocol. Experimentally proven target information of the bioactive principles was annotated from bioassay databases and compared with the virtually screened set of targets to evaluate the reliability of the computational identification. To study the molecular interaction pattern of the anti-tumor action, molecular docking simulation was performed with Auto Dock Pyrx. Interaction studies of binding pose of eucalyptol with Caspase 3 were conducted to obtain an insight into the interacting amino acids and their inter-molecular bondings. Results:A prioritized list of target proteins associated with multiple forms of cancer and ranked by their Fit Score (Pharm Mapper) and descending 3D score (Reverse Screen 3D) were obtained from the two independent inverse screening platforms. Molecular docking studies exploring the bioactive principle targeted action revealed that H- bonds and electrostatic interactions forms the chief contributing factor in inter-molecular interactions associated with anti-tumor activity. Eucalyptol binds to the Caspase 3 with a specific framework that is well-suited for nucleophilic attacks by polar residues inside the Caspase 3 catalytic site. Conclusion:This study revealed vital information about the poly-pharmacological anti-tumor mode-of-action of essential oils in cardamom. In addition, a probabilistic set of anti-tumor targets for cardamom was generated, which can be further confirmed by in vivo and in vitro experiments.

In this study, a combination of sorbent tube (ST)-thermal desorption (TD)-gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS) was used for quantitative analysis of liquid phase standards of 10 BVOC ((1) (+)-${\alpha}$-pinene, (2) (+)-${\beta}$-pinene, (3) ${\alpha}$-phellandrene, (4) (+)-3-carene, (5) ${\alpha}$-terpinene, (6) p-cymene, (7) (R)-(+)-limonene, (8) ${\gamma}$- terpinene, (9) myrcene, and (10) camphene). The results of BVOC calibration yielded comparatively stable pattern with response factor (RF) of 23,560~50,363 and coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of 0.9911~0.9973. The method detection limit (MDL) of BVOC was estimated at 0.03~0.06 ng with the reproducibility of 1.30~5.13% (in terms of relative standard error (RSE)). Emissions of BVOC were measured from four types of fruit samples ((1) tangerine (TO), (2) tangerine peel (TX), (3) strawberry (SO), and (4) sepals of strawberry (SX)). The sum of BVOC flux (${\sum}flux$ (BVOC) in ng/hr/g) for each sample was seen on the descending order of (1) TX=291,614, (2) TO=2,190, (3) SO=1,414, and (4) SX=2,093. If the results are compared between the individual components, the highest flux was seen from (R)-(+)-limonene (265,395 ng/hr/g) from TX sample.

Essential oil yields and chemical compositions from 5 populations of Chamaecyparis obtusa with several environmental factors were investigated through essential oil extracted distillation apparatus and metabolite profiling by GC-MS analysis. Among the populations, content of essential oil at Gokseong was significantly higher than other populations. To compare the several environmental factors affecting on chemical composition and essential oil yields from C. obtuse at Gokseong, the environmental factors (soil condition, temperature, humidity, and moisture content) were measured during 1 year. The essential oils at Goksung based on humidity on March, July, and November was significantly different from other months. The essential oils at Goksung based on temperature on July and August was significantly different from other months. The essential oils at Goksung based on the moisture content on September were significantly different from other months. The percentage of T-N, OM, and yield of oil at Gokseong were significantly different on from other populations. The main constituents of C. obtusa at all populations were ${\alpha}$-pinene, ${\beta}$-pinene, ${\alpha}$-terpinene, ${\gamma}$-terpinene, terpinene-4-ol, isobonyl acetate, terpinyl acetate, and cedar acetate. Specially, Essential oil compositions (%) of ${\alpha}$-terpinene and cedar acetate were higher at Gokseong than at other populations. The chemical compositions of essential oils were variable depend on populations and environmental conditions. Therefore, this study might be used as fundamental research on study for selection of high productive terpenoids and for understanding about biosynthesis of essential oils in C. obtusa.

Recently, interests in indoor air quality (IAQ) have been increased; however, a number of researchers have mainly focused on anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (AVOC) emitted from building materials. Therefore, the properties of natural VOC (NVOC) and anthropogenic VOC (AVOC) emitted from wood-based panels was investigated in this work. VOCs emitted from these panels were sampled through Tenax TA/Cabotrap and analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID. Comparisons were made concerning TVOC, NVOC, and composition ratios of NVOC. It was revealed that TVOC emission rates of midium density fiber (MDF) were the highest. Besides, it was found that emissions of NVOC from wood-based panels were much higher than those of anthropogenic AVOC except for plywood of Oceania timber. It was also observed that the composition ratio of NVOC emitted from plywood of Pinus radiata was the highest as 65% of TVOC. Major NVOC components were monoterpene compounds such as $\alpha$-pinene, $\beta$-pinene, d-limonene, camphene and $\alpha$-terpinene. It was concluded that the composition rates of VOCs emitted from building materials were clearly different according to the raw materials and manufacturing methods.

북방수염하늘소(M. saltuarius) 성충 장(gut)내에 존재하는 소화액에 대한 에스테라제(esterase)의 활성 변화를 in vitro에서 조사하였다. ${\alpha}$-naphthyl acetate와 ${\alpha}$-naphthyl butyrate 기질을 이용한 실험에서는 4개의 밴드가 관찰되었다. Carbofuran과 methomyl을 비교 처리한 결과 methomyl에서 강한 효소활성 저해가 관찰되었다. 특히 Est1은 carbofuran과 methomyl에 의해 모두 저해되는 것으로 나타났다. Chlorpyrifos, methidation, phenthoate를 비교 처리한 결과 chlorpyrifos에 의해 모든 밴드들이 저해되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 특히 Est1은 chlorpyrifos에 의해 효소활성이 완전히 저해되었고, methidation 처리시 약 70% 정도의 효소활성이 저해 되었다. Eserine을 처리한 결과 Est1은 약 70% 정도의 활성 저해를, Est2, Est3, Est4에서는 미미한 효소활성 저해가 나타났다. ${\alpha}$-pinene에서는 뚜렷한 효소활성 저해는 관찰할 수 없었으나 bornyl acetate와 camphor에서는 미미한 효소활성 저해가 관찰되었다.
