This study was to demonstrate the anti-inflammation effect using extracts derived from fusion-fermentation to add the function of Araliae Continentalis Radix (fACR). Since there are limitations to the use of ACR, available strains were selected through fermentation using lactobacillus strains, and the increases in total amount of polyphenols and amino acids was confirmed through comparison with Hot Water Extract of ACR. To determine the anti-inflammatory effect of the fACR was measure cytokine inflammation associated with arthritis, the arthritis when cartilage destruction is accompanied mainly MMP-9 activity was confirmed to evaluate the inhibition effect. These results show that fermentation using lactobacillus increases major biological activities and inflammatory response-restraining effects of ACR. This study is expected to be a basis for studying the preventive effect of fACR on arthritis.

The results of examining total soluble solid, reducing sugar, antioxidant and sensory properties regarding LTD (Liriope Tuber Dried), LTSD (Liriope Tuber Steamed and Dried), LTASD (Liriope Tuber Alcohol-Steamed and Dried), LTDR (LTD Roasted), LTSDR (LTSD Roasted) and LTASDR (LTASD Roasted) are as follows : Total soluble solid content of the roasted samples (LTDR, LTSDR and LTASDR) was more than those of all dried samples (LTD, LTSD and LTASD). According to roasting conditions, total sugar and reducing sugar are significantly greater than the raw and dried sample (LTD) in all heat-treated samples. The browning index was significantly higher in all roasted samples. In particular, LTASDR had a high browning index. Further, the antioxidative activity of the roasted LT samples were higher than that of all dried LT samples. In particular, the LTASDR sample showed significantly high figures in DPPH scavenging activity, ABTS scavenging activity, Nitrite scavenging activity and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity. Sensory properties showed an increased acceptance in all evaluation items among roasted samples. In this study, hot water extracts of steamed or alcohol-steamed roasted LT samples had a higher antioxidative effect than that of LTD or LTDR and attained positive results by getting high scores in the overall sensory evaluation. Therefore, when using Liriope tuber in making beverages or herbal recipes, it is appropriate to dry and roast before steaming or spreading with alcohol when treating LT.

This study was performed to establish optimum extraction condition of Tricholoma matsutake. A central composite design was applied to investigate the effects of independent variables, extraction temperature ($X_1$), extraction time ($X_2$) and water per sample ($X_3$) on dependent variables such as soluble solids contents ($Y_1$), total phenolics contents ($Y_2$), reducing sugar contents ($Y_3$), electron donating ability ($Y_4$) and nitrite scavenging ability ($Y_5$). The optimum extraction conditions were predicted and monitored by response surface methodology using SAS program based regression analysis. Soluble solids content, electron donating ability and nitrite scavenging ability were highly affected by water per sample. However, the contents of total phenolics and reducing sugar were affected by water per sample and extraction temperature as well. The optimum extraction conditions for soluble solids were 34.84 mL/g (water/sample) at $78.85^{\circ}C$, for 3.33 hr. In contrast, the optimum extraction conditions of electron donating ability were temperature of $91.00^{\circ}C$, time of 1.62 hr and water per sample of 39.42 mL/g. Taken together, the optimum ranges for hot water extraction of Tricholoma matsutake were $70{\sim}90^{\circ}C$, 2~4 hr and 30~50 mL/g.

Although Euonymus alatus (EA) has been used as traditional medicine for cancer treatment, exact substances involved in curing of the disease are not yet known. Free radical scavenging and reactive oxygen species (ROS) removal activities of aqueous extract components isolated from winged stem of EA in animal cell line were investigated. Aqueous extract of EA (AEEA) was fractionated by ultrafiltration. All fractions mainly consisted of polysaccharide (44.8%), protein (2.1%), small amounts of phenol compounds and organic acids. Antioxidant activity of AEEA increased depending on concentration fractions, as determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl method. ROS removal activity was visualized in Chinese hamster ovary cell line using laser scanning confocal microscope, and AEEA activity increased in order of F IV>F III>F I>F II. These results suggest AETA has bioactive carbohydrates with potentials as functional foods and antioxidants.

It is well known that the Petasites japonicum have been used for a long time in traditional medicine for the treatment of allergic diseases such as lacquer poisoning and asthma. Anti-allergic actions of Petasites japonicum extracts were asessed by testing their effects on the degranulation of mast cells. For this, hexosaminidase released (degranulation marker) from RBL-2H3 cells(mast cell line) was used. At the concentration of 300 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL of the methanol, ethylacetate and hot water extract, the degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells were inhibited 83.33, 69.75 and 35.4%, respectively. These results suggest that the Petasites japonicum could be provide a effective resource for the control of allergic diseases.

The hydrothermal alteration is evaluated using multicomponent equilibrium calculations with the program CHILLER for the reactions between hydrothermal water and rhyolite at the temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ and pressure of 500 bars. The chemical-reaction model on the depositional processes of the sericitite confirms that the hydrothermal water-rock interaction(hydrothermal alteration) is the main mechanism of the sericitite formation. The principal change in the aqueous phase during the reaction is the pH increase. Overall trends for the major species are the increase in total molalities of K, Ca, $SiO_2$, Al, Mg, Fe, Na, and sulfide in solid phase with hydrothermal water-rhyolite reaction and the decrease of them in aqeous solution by precipitation of hydrothermal products. Quartz and sericite are the first minerals to form. The sequence of minerals to precipitate following them is chlorite, epidote, pyrite and microcline as water/rock ratio decreases. Although calculated results cannot duplicate the complexities of natural hydrothermal alteration, the calculation provides thermodynamic constraints on the natural process. The calculation results resemble those of experimental studies. Sericitite forms where pH decreases and water/rock ratio increases.
