Less used small diameter logs of black locust were heated at $250^{\circ}C$ for improving utilization. The volatile compounds emitted by the heated logs were analyzed. Their effect of formaldehyde absorption was evaluated with PB. Ester and acid compounds were dominant in content. Especially, methyl acetate and acetic acid showed the highest contents. The total content of aromatic compounds decreased as heating time increased. Amoung ketone compounds, The contents of 2-propanone, 2-pentanone, 3-petanone, 3-hexanone and cyclopentenone decreased with the increase of heating time, but the others did not. The contents of the chemicals, furfural and 3-pentanol, increased with heating time, while that of 2-methyl butanal decreased. It was hard to say that formaldehyde was absorbed by the heated black locust samples. Some decorative goods were designed with the heated logs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate in vivo lipid peroxidation in rats under conditions of streptozotocin-induced oxidative stress and the antioxidant effects of probucol. In vivo lipid peroxidation was observed by measuring low molecular weight aldehydes and related carbonyl compounds in rat urine. Three groups of male Wistar rats weighing 165-190 g were used: normal (N), streptozotocin-induced oxidative stress (OS) and oxidative stress plus probucol treatment (P). following streptozotocin treatment of the rats, a variety of secondary lipid peroxidation products were increased. The levels of butanal, hexanal, hex-2-enal, kept-2-enal, octanal, non-2-enal, deca-2,4-dienal, 4-hydroxyhex-2-enal, 4-hydroxyno n-2-enal, malondi aldehyde(MDA), and unknown carbonyl compounds were significantly increased in the oxidative stress group compared to the control group. Treatment with probucol resulted in significant decreases in buoal, hexanal, hex-2-enal, octanal, deca-2,4-dienal, 4-hydroxyhex-2-enal, MDA and unknown carbonyl compounds. Hept-2-enal, hepta-2,4-dienal and non-2-enal appeared to have a tendency to decrease due to pobucol treatment.

Fresh pine needles were collected and extracted with 95% methanol and the extract was concentrated to determine its antimicrobial activity. The methanol extract had a considerable inhibitory effect on the tested bacteria, such as Esherichia coli 0157;H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus. The methanol extract of pine needles was further fractionated to chloroform, ethylacetate, butanal, and water fractions. Among these four fractions, the butanol and water fractions, which showed a relatively strong inhibitory effect on all of the tested bacteria, were purified and the minimum ingibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for each microorganism. The MIC raged between 25 mg/ml and 45 mg/ml depending on the microorganism. the purified active fractions were applied to sterilized milk as a model food system to define the antimicrobial effectiveness and it was found that the antimicrobial activities in the water fractions were stronger than those in the butanol fractions.

To elucidate the effect of ginseng butanol fraction on streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia, ginseng butanol fraction was administered before and after injection of streptozotocin(50mg/kg, i.v.), and glucose, insulin, and cholesterol levels in serum were determined at 96 hours after streptozotocin injection. Serum glucose, insulin levels were significantly decreased by administration of ginseng butanol fraction (100mg/kg, p.o.) at 7 hour and 7, 4, 1, hour(three times) before streptozotocin injection. The glucose levels were significantly decresed by administration of ginseng butanol fraction at 1 hour (100mg/kg) after strcptozotocin injection, and also serum glucose levels in groups of continuous administration of ginseng butanal fraction(100mg/kg) for 3 days after streptozotocin injection were markedly decreased than in group of single dose of ginseng butanol fraction. Ginseng butanol fraction has the protective and relieving action against streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia.

Peroxidative stimuli mediated by high polyunsaturated fatty acid administration in rats induced in vivo lipid peroxidation and resulted in increased urinary excretion of a number of lipophilic aldehydes and related carbonyl compounds. These secondary lipid peroxiation products, measured as 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine deritives, were detected and identified by the newly developed HPLC method. The identified urinary lipophilic nonpolar aldehydes and related carbonyl compounds were butanal, butan-2-one, pentan-2-one, hexanal, hex-2-enal, hepta-2, 4-dienal, hept-2-enal, octanal, and oct-2-enal. Lipophilic polar aldehydes such as 4-hydroxyhex-2-enal and 4-hydroxyoct-2-enal were also identified. A polyunsaturated fatty acid diet containing n-3 fatty acids generally caused high levels of urinary excretion of lipophilic aldehydes and related carbonyl compounds in rats than a normal diet. Significantly increased secondary lipid peroxidation products were hexanal, hepta-2, 4-dienal, octanal, 4-hydroxyhex-2-exal, 4-hydroxyoct-2-enal, and a number of unidentified compunds.

The objectives of this study were to identify aroma characteristics of Tricholoma matsutake(S. Ito et Imai) Sing. growing in different geograghic ranges in South Korea. Mushrooms were collected from 11 major sites which included four sites(Bonghwa, Uljin, Goryung and Chungdo) in Kyongbuk Province, three sites(Changnyung, Hadong and Hamyang) in Kyongnam Province, two sites(Yangyang and Inje) in Kangwon Province, one site(Goisan) in Choongbuk Province, and one site(Namwon) in Chonbuk Province. One of three mushrooms from each site were used for measurements of aromatic characteristics. Aromatic compounds were identified using a dynamic headspace trap method at $40^{\circ}C$ and GC-MSD(gas chromatograph-mass spectrometric detector) method. A total of 25 aromatic compounds were identified. Large variations in the composition and amount of aromatic compounds were noticed. Major aroma compound was 1-octen-3-ol, while methyl cinnamate known as the major aroma compound in matsutake was not detected at all. The total amount of aromatic compounds was highest in Bonghwa, and decreased in the order of Chungdo, Inje, Hamyang, Uljin, and Yangyang. Based on the total amount, kinds and amounts of individual aromatic compounds, the mushrooms from 11 major sites were grouped into following four types : 1) Bongwha Type : the total amount of aromatic compounds was highest, with major compound being 3-methyl 1-butanol. 2) Hamyang Type including Chungdo, Yangyang and Inje : 1-octen-3-of comprised 2/3 of total aromatic compounds, with second major being 3-methyl butanal. 3) Uljin Type : 1-octen-3-ol comprised 94% of total aromatic compounds, with other compounds being almost nothing. 4) Goisan Type including Goryung, Namwon, Changnyung, and Hadong : the total amount of aromatic compounds was lower than other three types.

Quality characteristics of white bread added with lotus root powder(3, 6%) were investigated. Moisture content of white bread added with lotus root powder were higher than control. As the amount of added lotus root powder increased, the lightness, redness and yellowness of bread crust as well as the volume of the bread decreased, but the redness and yellowness of the crumb increased slightly. The content of free amino acids increased by the addition of lotus root powder and the major ones were L-glutamic acid, L-alanine, L-valine and threonine. The major flavor components were 2-methyl butanal and 3-methyl butanal, which were formed by the amino-carbonyl reaction in baking bread at high temperature. Aldehyde flavor components such as 2-ethylfuran, 2-butanedione and 3-butanedione were formed by yeast fermentation. Ethyl acetate and vinyl acetate also influenced the flavor of the bread. The addition of lotus root powder increased the hardness and fracturability, and decreased the gumminess, chewiness and cohesivenes of the bread. Sensory evaluation of white bread indicated that the addition of 3%, 6% lotus root bread enhanced the grain formation, color, mouth feeling, appearance, hardness, moistness, flavor and overall acceptability. Overall, the addition of 6% lotus root powder showed the best performance in the nutritional and functional aspects of the bread.

Meatlike flavors were manufactured using hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) with several reactive precursors at different reaction conditions. Both pH and temperature affected significantly on brown colority of reaction product, whose velocity became fast with increasing pH and temperature. Drastic decrease in residual reducing sugars and free amino acids appeared until 1 hour, being little affected by reaction temperature. Glutamic acid and cysteine were decreased with reaction time, whereas glycine and methionine remained constant. Forty nine aroma compounds formed through Maillard reaction were isolated and identified with GC/MSD, including 3-methyl butanal, 2-methyl tetrahydrothiophen-3-one, 3,4-dimethylthiophene and 2,4-dimethyl thiazole previously known as natural meat flavors. The sensory evaluation showed that one-hour reaction product was the highest in savory taste and the lowest in nasty taste on the level of 5% significant difference among all reaction products tested in this experiment. From the results above, it could be speculated that the initial stage of Maillard reaction in this experimental system occured until one hour, thereafter, savory taste decreased accompanied by increasing nasty taste with elapsed reaction time.
