향기로 치료할 수 있는 향기요법, 일명 아로마테라피. 웰빙이 화두가 되면서 새롭게 떠오른 건강법으로 인식되지만, 향기요법의 역사는 고대 이집트까지 올라간다. 19세기 말, 과학이 발달하면서 합성화학물질에 밀리다가 화학물질의 부작용이 새로운 문제가 되면서 20세기 말부터 다시 떠오르고 있는 건강법이다. 각종 향기가 건강에 미치는 영향은 다르다. 향기를 통해 질병을 잡고 향기로 건강한 생활을 하는 방법을 알아본다. 또한, 향기요법의 활용도를 알아본다.

This study was conducted to investigate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb) flower. VOCs of persimmon flower was collected via SPE (solid phase micro extraction) and determined by GC-MS according to tree age and organs such as flower and calyx. The ratio of early bloom was higher in more than 15 year old tree than other trees showing tree age was related with flowering rate. Major VOCs of persimmon flower was a-pinene, butane, caryophyllene, cubebene, lavandulol, D-limoneneylangene, ylangene, mainly included green, fruit, and floral flavors. The number of VOCs in persimmon flower was 30 compounds in 5-9 years old tree, 24 compounds in 10-14 years old tree, and 32 compounds in more than 15 years old tree. In comparison with VOCs in organs of sweet persimmon 'Fuyu' cultivar, flower has 10 compounds of VOCs and 26.35% of relative peak area, while calyx has 14 compounds and 46.28%, respectively. In astringent persimmon, flower has 6 compounds of VOCs and 17.58% of relative peak area, while calyx has 9 compounds and 50.27%, showing calyx of both cultivars has various volatile compounds. This study will contribute to provide a basic data for the fragrance industry to use the flavor of persimmon flower.

Doenjang, traditional Korean soybean paste without soysauce and soondoenjang that was not isolated soysauce from soybean paste were thermally processed by the addition of dry anchovy, garlic, red pepper powder and green onion. The volatile flavor components generated from doenjang soup and soondoenjang soup were studied and compared with the change in the various flavors. It was confirmed that some difference of the flavor components was found in two type of soups. Doenjang soup contained a plenty of aldehydes and ketones that revealed the savory flavor. The major flavor components in the soondoenjang soup were sulfur containing compounds that appeared the highest ratio than any other types of flavors and 10 pyrazines. On the sensory evaluation, a great number of pyrazins may be considered as a characteristic of the savory flavor of soondoenjang soup, however, it was not give the reliable result. Stepwise multiple regression analysis of two type of soups indicated that aldehydes, alcohols, ketones were contributory flavor components for overall smell preference and quality preference.

In this study, "Hongro" apples for test samples were selected from a market for aroma analysis. Analysis was done after 1 hr, in a forming headspace while maintaining a temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. First, the complex aroma of the apples was assessed by a Direct Sensory Method. Secondly, the complex aroma was analyzed under individual aroma conditions separated by GC/FID/Olfactometry. Finally, aroma component analysis by GC/MS was performed. Degrees of contribution of aroma components were evaluated by an aroma value calculation considering aroma duration time, frequency, and intensity. The contribution rate (%) of the aroma induction component influencing apple aroma was determined by aroma component analysis and aroma contribution degree. As a result, it was found that the top four components were as follows, by contribution rate (%): acetic acid (23%), 1-hexanol (16%), butyl ethanoate (13%), 4-methoxy-2-methylbutane (9%). These four components constitute the complex aroma tested by the direct sensory method, and was largely recognized by the apple aroma test panel. Consequently, it was found that these components are the key factors in apple aroma. If the mechanism of formation of these components can be found, it could have a significant influence on consumers' acceptance of new varieties of apples.

The effects of volatile flavor extracts of eight different herbal medicines, Juniperus rigida (JR), Saussurea lappa SL), Cnidium officinale (CO), Angelica gigas (AG), Eugenia caryophyllata (EC), Angelica tenuissima (AT), Mentha arvense (MA), and Artemisiae argyi (AA), were investigated on LPS-stimulated inflammation using Raw 264.7 cells. The volatile flavor extracts of CO and AG considerably inhibited LPS-stimulated NO, $PGE_2$, IL-6, and TNF-${\alpha}$ (except AG) production, as well as iNOS expression. Major volatile components of CO were identified as ligustilide and of ${\beta}$-eudesmol as AG by GC-MS analysis. Thus, these results suggest that the volatile extracts of CO and AG may be useful as potential therapeutic agents for inflammation-associated disorders.

In this research, a theoretical model indicating the influence of fragrance sensibility response on attitude toward and buying intention of scented textile products was tested. On-line survey data was collected from a total of 530 consumers who have used or purchased scented textile products. In results, gender differences were found in the multigroup analysis using Structural Equation Modeling. In the model of females, pleasantness, stimulating, familiarity and congruency of scent affected attitude toward scented textile products while pleasantness was only a factor influencing attitude toward scented textile products in the model of males. In addition, pleasantness was the most important factor for Two genders although males indicated a higher level of buying intention toward scented textile products.

본 연구는 재래흑돼지와 개량종 돼지 가열육의 SPME-GC/MS와 전자코를 이용한 휘발성 향기 성분 및 향기 패턴 비교를 구명하고자 실시하였으며, 평균 생시 체중이 70 kg인 재래흑돼지(거세돈) 5두와 103 kg인 개량종 돼지($Landrace{\times}Yorkshire$,거세돈) 5두를 도축후 뒷다리 부위를 시료로 이용하였다. SPME-GC/MS를 이용한 휘발성 향기 성분에서 6-mehtyl-1-heptanol이 재래흑돼지육에서만 검출되었고, 1-octen-3-ol과 benzaldehyde가 재래흑돼지육이 개량종 돼지육보다 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 전자코의 PCA에 의한 향기 패턴은 두 품종간에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 재래흑돼지 가열육이 개량종 돼지 가열육보다 높은 6-mehtyl-1-heptanol, 1-octen-3-ol, benzaldehyde를 가졌으며, SPME-GC/MS와 전자코에 의해 품종이 다른 가열 돈육의 휘발성 향기 성분과 패턴을 성공적으로 분별하였다.

Lipoxygenase is the enzyme responsible for the formation of $C_6$-alcohols and $C_6$-aldehydes ($C_6$-compounds), which are well blown contributors to various types of 'green odor' In green tea. Changes in lipoxygenase activity and volatile compounds of green tea leaves were monitored daily during early growing season. The enzyme activity was spectrophotometrically measured using linoleic acid as a substrate. The volatile compounds were extracted through Solid Phase Micro-Extraction, and were subjected to GC and GC-MS analyses. Results showed that lipoxygenase activity and levels of $C_6$-compounds concomitantly increased or decreased during the early growing season, probably caused by the fluctuation in the daily temperature; increase in temperature led to the increase in enzyme activities and $C_6$-compound levels, whereas leaves plucked too early had low volatile compound levels. In this study, optimum plucking time of tea leaves for the production of high quality green tea with a wellbalanced aroma was determined.
