Mugwort, Artemisia princeps Pampanini, has been used as natural medicine traditionally in the far east countries including Korea. This study was performed with the object of provoding basic data an leaf quality improvement in mugwort. The 210 mugwort were collected in 48 locations from 2004 to 2006, leaves of 210 genotypes collected were analyzed for eupatilin, jaceosidin and sesamin content. The eupatilin content was averaged to 43.8mg (100 g leaves) and ranged from 0 to 228.0 mg. The average jaceosidin and sesamin contents were 12.8 mg and 3.58 mg and the ranges of those were 0 to 73.8 mg and 0 to 6.56 mg, respectively. The eupatilin content of mugwort harvested in the western region was higher compared with those harvested in the resemble altitude of the southern and eastern of Korea.

The antioxidant and synergistic effects of sesame oil cake extract treated with $\beta$ -glucosidase were examined. The sesamin and sesamolin were identified from the 80% ethanol extract of seame oil cake treated with $\beta$ -glucosidase, which suggested the presence of the active substances as their glycosides in sesame seed. The contents of sesamin and sesamolin in sesame oil cake extract were about 8.32% (8,315.4 mg/100g) and 0.28% (2,824.5mg/100g) , respectively. Sesame oil cake extract showed antioxidant activity at concentrations of 50ppm, 100ppm and 200ppm, and the effect was Increased with the addition of sesame oil cake extract. The antioxidant effect of sesame oil cake extract was stronger than that of $\alpha$-tocopherol or ascorbyl palmitate, but weaker than of BHT Also, when the sesame oil cake extract(50ppm) was used in combination with $\alpha$-tocopherol(50 ppm), the sesame oil cake showed very strong synergistic effect.

Antioxidant effect of several antioxidative components on the high purity $\alpha$-linolenic acid(HALA; ALA, 78.1%) ethyl ester concentrated from perilla oil were investigated by measuring weight-gains and peroxide value(POV) during storage at 5$0^{\circ}C$, 23$^{\circ}C$ and 4$^{\circ}C$. Amounts of antioxidant components were 0.2g/kg HALA ethyl ester for sesamin, sesangolin and butylated hydroxytolune(BHT), and 0.1g/kg for sesamol and 100g/kg for ether extracts from perilla seed. The oxidative stability of HALA ethyl ester was particularly increased by adding sesamol, ether extracts and BHT, but sesamin and sesangolin scarcely showed an antioxidant effect. POV on the HALA ethyl ester added sesamol and ether extract was less than 15.0meq/kg by 9 weeks of storage at 23$^{\circ}C$. However, in the case of low temperature storage at 4$^{\circ}C$, all the samples estimated showed less than 7.0meq/kg in POV by 5 months. Consequently, sesamol and ether extracts were recognized as available antioxidant components on the HALA ethyl ester from perilla oil.

Three lignans were isolated from the fruit of Magnolia denudata (Magnoliaceae) through repeated column chromatography. Their chemical structures were elucidated as sesamin, kobusin and eudesmin, respectively, by spectroscopic analysis. These compounds were isolated for the first time from the fruit of Magnolia denudata.

Five lignans were isolated from the chloroform fraction of Acanthopanax chiisanensis Nakai root by open column chromatography. Their structures were elucidated as (-)-sesamin (1), helioxanthin (2), savinin (3), taiwanin C (4), and 3-(3",4"-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-(3',4'-methylenedioxybenzyl) butyrolactone (5) by spectral analysis. Among them, compounds 2, 3, 4, and 5 were isolated for the first time from this plant.

Five constituents were isolated from the stem of Acanthopanax senticosus. Their structures were elucidated as (-)-sesamin (1), iso-fraxidin (2), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (3), syringin (4) and acanthoside D (5) by spectral analysis. Among these compounds, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (3) was isolated for the first time from this plant.

Antioxidants of sesame have been reported to cure and prevent various diseases by means of diverse physiological activities, prevention of acidification in organisms, prevention of acidification and decay of lipids, cholesterol depression, preventive effects on chemical breast cancer, skin beauty and senescence inhibition, and so on. Recognizing their significance to health and disease prevention, researchers in Japan and America have given so much importance to study antioxidants in the last decade. In addition, they are actively pursuing studies on production, processing for food use and development of new varieties that have high antioxidant content. Recently, researchers in Korea have shown the same interest and have conducted similar studies, however, the importance of the following basic issues must be recognized to guide in future activites : First, improvement of sesame quality must be done to raise the contents of not only the fat and fatty acid but also sesamin, sesamolin and sesaminol glucoside. For the use of these components it is necessary to study the gentic pattern and individual selections developed from minimum sample size and fast lipid analysis techniques. Second, sesaminol of sesame has a remarkable function in preventing acidification and so sesame can be utilized as a food that prevents or delays aging caused by automatic acidification of fat. Therefore, for maximum medicinal benefit from sesame oil there is a need to develop food materials having new medicinal functions. Third, the sesamin and sesamolin content of sesame germplasms collected in Korea showed lower ranges of $0.04\~0.68$ percent and $0.08\~0.68$ percent respectively, while Japanese germ-plasm showed 1.9 percent maximum content of seasmin. Thus, germplasm collection and analysis of worldwide genetic resources are urgently needed.

Changes in antioxidative substances-sesamol, sesamin and sesamolin - and mineral contents of sesame oil during refining processes have been studied to investigate the oxidative stability of oils during the storage at $70^{\circ}C$. Fe, Cu, Mg and Zn were nearly removed from the oil by the degumming process. During storage, the changes of total volatile contents in crude and degummed sesame oil were not noticeable but those in alkali-refined and deodorized sesame oil were increased at early period of the storage. The increases of hexanal and pentanal were most noticeable and their concentration was increased markedly in alkali-refined, bleached and deodorized sesame oil at early period of the storage. During refining processes and storage, sesamin was relatively stable but the content of sesamolin was decreased. The content of sesamol was decreased until alkali-refining process but increased during a bleaching process. The content of sesamolin tended to decrease with increasing of sesamol during storage.
