Prunus tomentosa Thunberg seed was investigated to evaluate its possibility for use as food resources of fats and proteins. The seed contained 40.38% of crude fat and 26.59% of crude protein. The lipid fractions obtained by silicic acid column chromatography were mainly composed of 95.49% of neutral lipids, whereas compound lipids were only 4.51%. Among the neutral lipid components by thin-layer chromatography, triglycerides were 89.86%, sterols, monoglycerides, sterol esters, free fatty acids and diglycerides were 4.14%, 2.98%, 1.77%, 1.07%, and 0.18%, respectively. Oleic acid (65.06-66.05%) and linoleic acid (26.56-28.40%) were the main fatty acids in the total lipid, neutral lipid and triglyceride fractions. In the glycolipid and phospholipid fractions, predominant fatty acids were oleic acid (40.55-51.46%), linoleic acid (20.26-30.89%) and palmitic acid (17.64-21.43%). The extractability of salt soluble protein of seed was 60%, and recovery rate of main protein fraction separated by Sephadex G-200 was about 46.5%. The electrophoretic analysis showed 7 bands in seed protein.

Grains of naked barley (Baekdong cultivar) were polished, powdered and subjected to the successive extraction into free and bound liquid fractions. These were further fractionated into lipid classes and quantified by means of thin layer chromatography, column chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography. Contents of free and bound lipids in barley flour were 2.27% and 1.01%, which were decreased to 2.12% and 0.76%, respectively, after purification. Free and bound lipids were consisted of monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, free sterols, sterol esters, free fatty acids and polar lipids. Major constituents of free lipids were 56.2% triglycerides, 14.9% free fatty acids and 13.4% sterols while those of bound lipids were 73.8% polar lipids, 8.4% free fatty acids and 5.2% triglycerides. The content of non-polar lipids in free lipids was 93.6% as compared with 26.2% in bound lipids. However, phospholipids content in bound lipids was 55.5% as compared with 2.5% in free lipids, and glycolipids content in bound lipids was 19.4% as compared with 3.9% in free lipids. Major fatty acids in the free and bound lipid fractions were linoleic acid 52.1%, 54.8%, palmitic acid 24.8%, 30.0% and oleic acid 15.6%, 8.8%, respectively, showing similar patterns in both fractions. The amount of unsaturated fatty acids in free lipids was 72.8% as compared with 68.0% in bound lipids. In comparing the fatty acid composition of non-polar lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids, no difference was observed between free and bound lipid fractions while a slight difference was found among the lipid constituents.

The effects of metathesis for concentrating the tocopherols from soybean and rice-bran scum oils were studied by using the batch reactor under helium atmosphere. The contents of tocopherols in the scum oils decreased consticuously when heated under air atmosphere or when kept in hexane solution above 5 days even at room temperature. The sterols in the scum oils were removed by the mixed solvent method. Metathesis of the sterol-removed scum oils in hexane was performed over Re2O7/Al2O3 and WO3/Al2O3 catalysts, and the concentrate was obtained by distillation in vacuum at $190^{\circ}C$. The effect of metathesis was evaluated as relative ratio of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol in the concentrate to that in scum oil. The maximum ratio for both scum oils was obtained on 12.8%(w/w)$Re_2O_7/Al2O_3$ catalyst which formed effectively the active sites for metathesis by the reaction between the added tetramethyltin and $Re_2O_7$ on the surface of the catalyst. The optimum amount of the catalyst was 0.5g pre l0g scum oil, and the optimum reaction temperature was $25^{\circ}C$ for both scum oils. The metathesis was more effective in rice-bran scum oil than in soybean scum oil. These facts indicated that the tocopherols in the scum oils can be highly concentrated by applying metathesis.

A simultaneous determination method for cholesterol, lanosterol and desmosterol was developed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Urine was enzymatically hydrolyzed with ${\beta}$-glucuronidase/arylsulfatase. Samples were prepared using extractions with a mixture of ethyl acetate-hexane (2:3, v/v), followed by derivatization with a mixture of MSTFA/TMSI/TMCS (100:2:5 v/v/v). All analyses were performed using GC/MS in selective ion monitoring mode. Good linearities ($r^2=0.998{\sim}0.999$) in calibration curve and a satisfactory recovery (80.0%~113%) were achieved. Accuracy and precision values within ${\pm}15%$ in the concentration range of 5 to 200 ng/mL were also observed for all compounds. The developed method was applied to pravastatin-treated (70 and 250 mg/kg/day for 7 days, oral) hyperlipidemia rats. Those sterols were significantly lower in drug-treated rats compared to the controls, which justifies the drug efficacy. Therefore, these results indicate that the developed method was successfully applied to examine statin drug efficacy with urine sample.

Mucor plumbeus FRI 0007 was grown on media containing starch solely as carbon source, urea as nitrogen source and minerals including magnesium, calcium and iron of different concentration. The ratio of nonpolar and polar lipid of the total lipid produced by the Muror plumbeus FRI 0007 changed by minerals added in the medium and incubation period. The nonpolar lipid content was higher on the medium containing only one mineral rather than 5 minerals and the nonpolar lipid consisted mainly of trig1yceride, free fatty acid and free sterol. The triglyceride content was higher on the medium containing one mineral and decreased with the incubation time lapse. The major fatty acid composition of total, nonpolar and polar lipid were oleic, palmitic and linoleic acid which comprised about 90% of total fatty acids and their compositions changed slightly depending on the minerals added in the medium.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the inhibition on $Na^+,\;K^+$-ATPase, cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and platelet activation by marine sterols isolated from octocorals. Three marine polyhydroxysterols, 7${\alpha},\;8{\alpha}-epoxy-3b{\beta},\;5{\alpha},\;6{\alpha}-trihydroxycholestane (1),\;24-methyl-7{\alpha},\;8{\alpha}-epoxy-3{\beta},\;5{\alpha},\;6{\alpha}-trihydroxycholest-22-ene (2),\;and\;7{\alpha},\;8{\alpha}-epoxy-3{\beta},\;5{\alpha},\;6{\alpha}-trihydroxycholest-22-ene (3)$, were isolated from the Gorgonian Acabaria undulata. Five marine sterols(compound 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) were isolated from the soft coral Alcyonium gracillimum. Three marine polyhydroxysterols (1, 2, 3) and pregna-1. 20-diene-3-one (8) exhibit a potent inhibitory effect on rabbit platelet aggregation induced by collagen and thrombin. Those polyhydroxysterols also exhibit a potent inhibitory effect on cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. Compound 6 with an unusual cyclic enolether exhibit a inhibitory effect on $Na^+,\;K^+$-ATPase.

The effect of stigmasterol (SS), a phytosterol, in the liposome bilayer on the stability of encapsulated ascorbic acid (ASA) was evaluated. Liposomes, consisting of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and SS, and ASA were encapsulated by the dehydration/rehydration method. The average particle size of the liposome increased with increasing SS content. SS significantly increased the stability of encapsulated ASA. For example, ASA remaining in the liposomes of 100:0, 90:10, and 70:30 (PC:SS, w/w) ratios was 34.12%, 49.88%, and 58.58%, respectively, after storage for 8 days at 4℃, while only 7.66% ASA remained in the buffer under the same conditions. These results indicated that SS in liposomes increased the stability of encapsulated ASA.

Lipids isolated from three barley samples were identified and quantitated by column, thin layer and gas liquid chromatographic techniques. These lipids were shown to consist of 69.3-73.1% neutral lipids, 9.6-16.5% glycolipids, and 14.2-17.9% phospholipids. Among the neutral lipids, triglycerides were predominant (54.2 to 55.7%) with smaller amounts of 1,2-diglycerides, 1,3-diglycerides, free sterols, free fatty acids, steryl esters, and three unknown being present. Among the glycolipids, digalactosyl diglycerides (31.3 to 33.2%) and monogalactosyl diglycerides (26.2 to 29.6%) were the most abundant. Esterified steryl glycosides, steryl glycosides, cerebrosides, sulfolipids, and an unknown component were present as minor components. Of the phosopholipids, phosphatidyl cholines and serines, lysophosphatidyl cholines, and phosphatidyl ethanolamines were the major components, comprising over 80% of this class. The major fatty acids in the total and the three lipid classes were palmitic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids. However, the neutral lipids fraction contained more oleic acid than other lipid fractions, and the phospholipids fraction contained more palmitic acid than the other lipid fractions.

Activity-guided fractionations led to the isolation of antitumor compound, ergosterol peroxide ($5{\alpha},\;8{\alpha}-epideoxy-24(R)-methylcholesta-6,\;22-dien-3{\beta}-ol$) from the fruiting body of Pleuratus eryngii that was cultivated artificially. This sterol structure was established by using spectroscopic methods ($^1H\;and\;^{13}C$ nuclear magnetic resonance and high resolution mass spectra). The purified compound showed a molecular formular of $C_{28}H_{44}O_3$ displaying characteristic features of epidioxy sterols. The 50% inhibitory concentrations ($IC_{50}$) of ergosterol peroxide against human lung cancer cell line (A549) and human ovarian cell line (SK-OV3) were $7{\mu}M\;and\;14{\mu}M$, respectively. In the DNA fragmentation assay, the compound showed the programmed cell death causing the chromosomal DNA fragmentation. It reveals that ergosterol peroxide arrests G1 phase of the cell division cycle.
