This study was to investigate the chemical composition and biological activities of Pinus Koraiensis seed. The oil, moisture, ash, crude protein, and carbohydrate contents of P. Koraiensis seed were 58.21, 7.84, 1.56, 14.26, and 18.13%, respectively. The ratios of essential amino acid and nonessential amino acid against total amino acids were 36.6 and 60.3%, respectively. The saponification value of seed oil was 166.8 mg KOH/g oil. Among various fatty acids, the linoleic acid content was the highest, 35.5%, which was approximately 72.6% of polyunsaturated fatty acid. The ethylacetate extract of P. Koraiensis seed had the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity (62.8%) at 7.0 mg/mL, followed by hexane extract, methanol extract, and hot water extract. The maximum nitrite scavenging activity was obtained 59.3% at pH 1.2. The total phenolic concentration of ethylacetate extract was 98.7 mg/g, approximately 4.8 folds higher than that of the hot water extract. The maximum inhibition activities of elastase using ethylacetate extract and collagenase using hexane extract were 58.8 and 40.7%, respectively. These results indicate that P. koraiensis seed extract could be applied to present the possibilities of industrial applications for the developments of cosmetics.

The effects of carbohydrate sources(sucrose, glucose) and ratio of ammonia to nitrate on essential oil production and its com- positions in the callus culture of Mentha piperita L. were studied. An ammonia : nitrate ratio of 1 :2 was more effective for essential oil production regardless of the media used ; Lin-Staba(LS) and modify Murashige-Skoog(MS) medium. Menthol biosynthesis was enhanced when ratio of ammonia to nitrate was 1 :3 in the LS medium while the ratio was 1 :2 in the MS medium. Lower sucrose concentration(20g /1 ) was much better than higher sucrose concentration(30g /1) for both oil and menthol biosynthesis in the LS medium but higher sucrose concentration(30g /1) was more effective for those in the MS medium. When sucrose was replaced with glucose, menthol biosynthesis was sharply decreased or absent regardless of media used.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes in volatile constituents concerning with the flavor of the green ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) during storage in underground pit ($15^{\circ}C$, RH 95%). And the constituents of essential oil of etiolated shoots formed on the mother rhizomes during the five months storage in the dark under same conditions were compared with those of mother rhizomes. The essential oils of Korean domestic ginger (Bong-dong cultivar) were isolated by simultaneous steam distillation and extraction method (SDE). Then the compositions of the essential oils were analysed by GC and GC-MS spectrometry. The major compounds of essential oil from the fresh rhizomes were zingiberene, $citronellol+{\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$, ${\beta}-phellandrene$, camphene, geranial, ${\gamma}-bisabolene$, ar-curcumene+geranyl acetate, ${\alpha}-pinene$, ${\beta}-gurjunene$, limonene and neral. The content of monoterpene hydrocarbons increased with a concomitant lowering in the amounts of sesquiterpene hrdrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes during storage of rhizomes although contents of the oxygenated monoterpens changed little or slightly during the storage. During the storage the content of such monoterpenes as camphene, ${\beta}-phellandrene$ and citral (neral and geranial) increased whereas the content of such sesquiterpenes as zingiberene and $citronellol+{\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$ decreased. The composition of shoot oil differed from that of mother rhizome oil in having higher content of terpene hydrocarbons and also in the higher content of bornyl acetate, ${\beta}-gurjunene$ and ar-curcumene+geranyl acetate and lower in citral (neral and geranial).

In order to reconstruct the traditional technology of Korean golden varnish(Hwangchil) made from the exudates of D. morbifera, this study in the second step was carried out to analyze the chemical composition and oil properties of the exudates for coatings and bark extractives made from the trees of D. morbifera more than 20 years old grown in Wando and Jejudo islands in the southwestern part of Korean peninsula according to the physiological seasons. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The exudates appeared to be a phytoalexin because it exudated after several days in tapping only in summer season. 2. Both the exudates and bark-extracts with acetone contained 50~60% unsaponifiables and 30~50% saponifiables 3. A major component of essential oil in bark-extractives was ${\beta}$-cubebene and reached to 60~80%, while that of exudates included only 34% ${\beta}$-cubebene and some other compounds such as ${\beta}$-cadinene of 12%, aromadendrene of 9%, ${\beta}$-selinene of 9%, CAS030021-74-0 of 10%, etc. in GC-MS spectrometer. 4. A mjor component of fatty oil fraction in bark-extractives was linoleic acid and reached to more than 60%, while the exudates had mostly other components such as terpenes and phenolics instead of fatty acids accordint to GC-MS spectrometer. 5. Iodine value of samples after oil refining had 214mg/g in the exudates and more than than 150mg/g in bark-extractives, so the latter belonged to a drying oil.. 6. Therefore, the exudates from D. morbifera for traditional Korean golden varnish seems to have beeen used to a good varnish because it has some specific compounds different from its bark-extractives or general varnishes.

Selection of optimum reaction conditions during deoxygenation process of palm oil is essential factor to obtain the maximum yield of bio-jet fuel. In this context, the deoxygenation of palm oil was carried out in a fixed bed reactor with an internal diameter of 1 inch loaded with a 1 wt.% $Pt/Al_2O_3$ catalyst. The composition of the organic liquid product(OLP), which can be utilized as a transportation fuel through the upgrading process, was analyzed by a gas chromatography method. The palm oil/hydrogen ratio and hydrogen pressure in the feed affected the decarboxylation(DCB) and hydrodeoxygenation(HDO) reactions, resulting in a change in the composition of the OLP. As the reaction temperature increased, the continuous cracking reaction of the deoxygenation product was promoted and the product composition in the $C_5{\sim}C_{14}$ region was increased. Thus, the results can help to understand the characteristics of deoxidation reaction of palm oil as well as the subsequent process, hydro-upgrading, to obtain the maximum yield of bio-jet fuel.
