Bangah (Agastache rugosa O. Kuntze), one of the wild plant grown in Korea and used for deodorizing some of the fish foods because it's strong and unique flavor, was determined for chemical composition in leaf, flower and stem. The highest protein content of 14.7% was found in leaf and lipids was in the range of $5.25{\sim}7.74%$. Total sugar content in leaf and flower were 27.53% and 14.86%, reducing sugar content were 11.80% and 2.75%, respectively. Fifteen fatty acids in bangah were identified and the major fatty acids were linolenic, palmitic, lauric and linoleic acids. Seventeen total amino acids were determined in leaf and flower. Glutamic acid, aspartic acid and leucine were high in each portion. The major free amino acids were histidine, serine, proline and glutamic acid. Most of minerals were high in leaf and flower than those in stem of bangah except for Ca and Fe. Especially K was higher in leaf and flower than stem by 4 times.

This study was conducted to compare volatile components from the ten kinds of basils cultivated in Korea. The ten kinds of basils were separated flower, leaf, and stem part from whole plants, respectively. All sample separated were extracted by simultaneous steam distillation-extraction method(SDE) and were analyzed by gas chromatography(GC) and mass selective detector(MSD). Total 42 components were identified in essential oils including 11 alcohols, 6 carbonyls, 20 hydrocarbons and 5 esters components. The major components were linalool, methyl chavicol, eugenol, trans-methyl cinnamate, ${\beta}-cubebene$ and 1,8-cineole. The content of linalool was high significantly in the flower$(31.8{\sim}53.0%)$, the leaf and stem showed $21.8{\sim}35.8%$ and $3.5{\sim}22.4%$, respectively. Especially, the content of methyl chavicol was high relatively in the leaf$(0.4{\sim}32.9%)$, the flower and stem showed $0.2{\sim}24.1%$ and $0{\sim}2.2%)$, respectively. Articock, figz, glove, and greek basils were rich in eugenol$(18.8{\sim}48.7%)$ and poor in methyl chavicol$(0{\sim}5.4%)$ when compared with others kinds of basils. The composition of the components identified showed quite difference between kinds of basils, and the number of components identified in stem was much less than that in flower and leaf

The total phenolic contents and the antioxidant activities of methanolic extracts of different parts (fruit, calyx, leaf, stem, and root) of Physalis alkekengi var. francheti were investigated using established in vitro systems including DPPH radical-scavenging, nitrite-scavenging, superoxide anion radical-scavenging activity, measurement of reducing power, and assessment of the metal-chelating effect. The highest extraction yield was from fruit (52.55%), whereas the lowest levels were obtained from root (10.49%) and stem (12.88%).The leaf extract had the highest total phenolic (58.47 mg/g) and total flavonoid (4.83 mg/g) contents, plus the greatest antioxidant activity, as shown by the DPPH radical-scavenging assay, and the highest levels of reducing power at concentrations of 1 and 5 mg/mL. In addition, the calyx also showed good antioxidant activity.These findings indicate that methanolic extracts of leaf and calyx may be useful in the food manufacturing and nutraceutical industries.

매실에는 구연산, 사과산, 주석산, 피루브산 등의 유기산 등이 함유되어 있어서 체내의 대사작용을 돕고 세포와 근육에 필요물질인 젖산을 분해하여 피로를 감소시켜주며 신진대사를 촉진하고 있다. 또한 피루브산은 간의 피로, 해독작용을 활발하게 도와주며 카테킨산은 장내의 유해균의 번식을 억제하여 식중독을 예방하고 있다. 또한 이러한 작용은 설사와 변비를 치료하는데도 효과가 있으며 다량의 비타민C의 함유로 인하여 체내의 피로회복을 돕고 있다. 이러한 효능을 가진 매실은 전라남도 해안가에서 주로 재배하고 있다. 특히 순천과 광양지역에서 다양한 품종들을 재배하고 있다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 순천과 광양지역에 재배되고 있는 남고, 천매, 고성, 앵숙, 풍후, 옥영, 임주, 청축, 백가하 등의 잎과 과육, 핵의 추출물로부터 폴리페놀 성분은 핵, 과육보다 잎에서 양호한 반응을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들을 중심으로 매실의 각 부위별 항산화 활성을 조사하였던 바, 매실의 대부분의 품종에서 항산화 활성이 양호하게 나타났으며 부위별에서는 핵보다는 잎과 과육에서 양호한 항산화 활성을 보였다. 품종별로는 앵숙, 남고, 청축에서 다소 양호한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들로 미루어 볼 때 매실의 항산화 활성은 품종별, 부위별로 상이한 반응을 나타내었다.

Volatile flavor components from various edible portions of Capsella bursa-pastoris were collected by simultaneous steam distillation-extraction (SDE) method using diethyl ether as solvent. Essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Thirty four volatile flavor components, including 12 hydrocarbons, 2 aldehydes, 2 ketones, 5 alcohols, 1 ester, 10 acids and 2 miscellaneous ones were confirmed in whole samples. Thirty one components, including 11 hydrocarbons, 5 aldehydes, 4 ketones, 5 alcohols, 1 esters and 5 miscellaneous ones were confirmed in leaves. Twenty four components, including 5 hydrocarbons, 1 aldehyde, 2 ketones, 6 alcohols, 2 esters, 1 acid and 7 miscellaneous ones were confirmed in roots. The kinds and amounts of volatile flavor components revealed different patterns depending upon various edible portions. Relatively greater numbers of volatile flavor components were identified in leaves compared with roots of these wild plants. The characteristic aroma of Capsella bursa-pastoris appeared to be due to combination of C6 alcohol and acids, terpene alcohol and sulfur containing compounds.
