This study was conducted to compare fragrance and volatile chemicals of essential oils in Gom-chewi (Ligularia fischeri) and Handaeri Gom-chewi (Ligularia fischeri var. spicifoprmis). Essential oils were extracted by steam distillation of leaves of Gom-chewi (GC) and Handaeri Gom-chewi (HGC), after which samples were collected by solid-phase micro extraction and the compositions of the essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The yields of the essential oils in GC and HGC were 0.12% and 0.04%, respectively, and the threshold levels of the essential oils in GC and HGC were 0.01% and 0.1%, respectively. There were 19 constituents of the essential oil of Gom-chewi: 14 carbohydrates, 4 alcohols, and 1 acetate, and the major constituents were L-${\beta}$-pinene (36.02%), D-limonene (25.64%), ${\alpha}$-pinene (24.85%) and ${\beta}$-phellandrene (5.39%). In the essential oil of HGC, 25 constituents were identified: 17 carbohydrates, 4 alcohols, 3 acetates, and 1 N-containing compound, and the major constituents of HGC were D-limonene (39.74%), L-${\beta}$-pinene (35.43%) and ${\alpha}$-pinene (11.94%). The minor constituents of HGC were ${\rho}$-cymene, ${\gamma}$-muurolene, ${\gamma}$-cadinene, germacrene D, ingol 12-acetate and butyl 9,12,15-octadecatriene and nimorazole were not identified in the GC essential oil. Overall, the results showed that the fragrance and chemical compositions of essential oils in GC and HGC differed, suggesting that both essential oils could be used for the development of perfumery products.

Essential oil of five plants were screened for fumigation toxicity against Blattella germanica male adults. Among them, coriander oil showed $100\%$ fumigation toxicity against B. germanica male adults at 20 and $10{\mu}{\ell}/{\ell}$ (air) dose, respectively. Through the constituent analysis using GC and GC/MS, we confirmed that main constituents of coriander oil were ${\alpha}$-pinene ($6.1\%$), camphene ($1.1\%$), ${\beta}$-pinene ($0.5\%$), ${\beta}$-myrcene ($0.8\%$), limonene ($2.5\%$), ${\gamma}$-terpinene ($4.5\%$), ${\rho}$-cymene ($1.8\%$), ${\alpha}$-terpinolene ($0.5\%$), camphor ($4.9\%$), linalool ($70.5\%$), ${\alpha}$-tepineol ($0.7\%$), geranyl acetate ($2.8\%$) and geraniol ($1.4\%$). Among them, ${\gamma}$-terpinene and geranyl acetate showed $100\%$ fumigation toxicity at $10{\mu}{\ell}/{\ell}$ (air) dose, respectively. It can be concluded that coriander oil is potential control agents against B. germanica.

우리나라에서 자생하는 소나무속의 침엽수 중 가장 대표적인 수종은 소나무이며, 리기다소나무가 그 뒤를 잇는다. 이 두 수종을 대상으로 테르펜의 배출속도와 물질별 구성비율을 비교하여 본 결과, 소나무와 리기다의 유사점은 $\alpha$-pinene, myrcene, $\beta$-phellandrene이 주요하게 나타났다. 리기다소나무의 경우에는 소나무에서 보다 $\beta$-pinene이 다소 크게 나타났으나, 지역별로는 테르펜의 구성비 차이가 거의 없었다. 삼림으로부터 방출되는 테르펜의 배출특성을 연구하기 위해서는 보다 많은 수종에 대한 광범위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Essential oils were separated by steam distillation from the roots of four species of the genus Valeriana and subjected to gas chromatography to screen monoterpenic hydrocarbons and related components. The amounts of the common components were contained in the following order: camphene, ${\alpha}-pinene$, bornyl-, myrtenyl isovalerate, myrtenylacetate and ${\beta}-pinene$, and small amounts of terpineol and terpinylacetate were also contained. Of the four species, the root of Valeriana fauriei $B_{RIQUET}$ var. dasycarpa $H_{ARA}$ contained the largest amounts of these components and the root of V. dageletiana $N_{AKAI}$ ex $M_{AEKAWA}$ the least. Since the root of V. dageletiana contained for less amounts of pinene, camphene and bornylacetate and none of dipentene and terpineol, this plant appears to be distinguished from the other three species.

In order to investigate the compositions and the emission rates of monoterpenes emitted from coniferous trees, those from Larix leptoleis (Sieb, et Zucc.) Gordon were measured. In spring and summer, the major monoterpenes were ${\alpha}-terpinene,\;{\alpha}-pinene$, myrcene; however, ${\alpha}-pinene\;and\;{\alpha}-terpinene$ were most abundant in fall. The total mean monoterpene emission rates were $0.455\;({\mu}gC/gdw/hr)$ during the whole period. The higher monoterpene emission rates were found in fall compared to those in spring and summer. In addition, the slopes (${\beta}\;value$) between emission rate and temperature were two times lower in fall than those in spring and summer. It was also found that Larix leptoleis (Sieb. et Zucc.) Cordon had lower monoterpene emission rates than P. densiflora and P. rigida.
