The aims of this studies were carried out to investigate the antioxidant activity on low density lipoprotein(LDL) using substances extracted from Bacillus sp. RH-5. The antioxidative substances produced extracellular in the culture broth by Bacillius sp. RH-S was obtained by elution of chloroform : methanol from silicagel column (80cm x100cm) chromatography. Band 4 eluted from fraction 3 by TLC was appeared at highest level of antioxidative activity using thiocyanate methed. Band 4 at a concentration of 100 or 200$\mu$g/$m\ell$ inhibited oxidation of LDL induced by the mouse transformed macrophage. According to IR. NMR or GC/MASS, the antioxidant substance was identified as 5-hydroxyindole.

Accurate measurements of ozone precursors are required to understand the process and extent of ozone formation in rural and urban areas. Nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) have been identified as important ozone precursors. Identification and quantification of NMHCs are difficult because of the large number present and the wide molecular weight range encountered in typical air samples. A major plan of the research team of the Climate and Air Quality Taiwan Station (CATs) was the measurement of atmospheric nonmethane hydrocarbons. An analytical method has been development for the analysis of the individual nonmethane hydrocarbons in ambient air at ppb (v) and subppb(v) levels. The whole ambient air samples were collected in canisters and analyzed by GC-FID with $Al_2O_3$/KCl PLOT column. Our targeted for quantitative analysis 43 compounds that may be substantial contributors to ozone formation. The retention indices and molar response factors of some commercially available $C_2{\sim}C_{10}$ hydrocarbons were determined and used to identify and quantify air samples. A quality assurance program was instituted to ensure that good measurements were made by participating in the International Nonmethane Hydrocarbon Intercomparison Experiments (NOMHICE).

The antimicrobial activity of the omija extract shown at pH 6.5, which was observed in the previous research, suggested that there could be active substances other than citric acid and malic acid in the Omija extract. Therefore, attempts were made to identify antimicrobial compounds in the essential oils extracted from Omija. The results of silica gel column chromatography and GC-MS revealed that terpineol and citronellol in the essential oil were the active compounds.

As a search for natural antioxidants, antioxidative fractions in pueraria root were extracted and identified using column chromatography, thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. Components which have most effective antioxidative activities were futher identified by IR and GC/MS. The strongest antioxidative component of pueraria root methanol extract was identified as puerarin. Puerarin obtained from pueraria root was practically effective as antioxidant at the level of 100 ppm. Antioxidative activity of the puerarin was higher in linoleic acid-water system than in a linoleic acid substrate. Puerarin, daidzin and daidzein contents in pueraria root juice were 0.39%, 0.45% and 0,03%, respectively.

To enhance the utilization of chestnut husk discarded in the processing company antioxidative activities and compounds were investigated. Antioxidative activities of solvent fractions from chestnut husk were examined by benzoic acid hydroxylation method ferric thiocyanate method and DPPH test. Ethyl acetate fraction showed strong antioxidative activities comparable to BHA. Active compounds were isolated and purified from ethyl acetate fraction by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and preparative HPLC. A major active compound gallic acid was identified by $^{1}$H and $^{13}$ C-NMR. The phenolic acid contents was analyzed by GC and ellagic acid (172.22 mg%) and gallic acid (107.39 mg%) were major phenolic acid of chestnut husk.

This study was conducted to monitor the level of bifenthrin residues in pear sprayed with 2% bifenthrin wettable powder (WP) at the recommended rate at four different schedules prior to harvest. The target analyte was extracted with acetone, partitioned into dichloromethane, and then purified by florisil chromatographic column. The residue determination was performed on a DB-5 capillary column using GC with electron capture detector (ECD). Linearity of this method was quite good ($r^2$ = 0.9951) in the concentration ranged from 0.2 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg. Recovery test was carried out at two concentration levels, 0.2 mg/kg and 1.0 mg/kg, in three replicates, and their rates were from 82.9% to 107.2%. No quantitative bifenthrin was detected in pear of all kinds of treatments including the treatment sprayed 4 times until 7 days before harvest. This sensitive and selective method can be used to monitor the trace residual amounts of bifenthrin in pear in a quite low concentration level.

A gas-chromatographic determination method of thiamin which use a quantitative cleavage of thiamin to 4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiazol [I] and solvent extraction of the analyte prior to GC injection was modified. A column chromatographic procedure using a reversed phase, high capacity solid phase cartridge was applied to the clean-up of the analyte. Thiazol derivative[I] was quantitatively recovered upon the column method. Acetanilide, an internal standard, has a good recovery through the analytical procedure. The method has analytical precision of 2% or less in the coefficient of variation.

The methanol extract of Arachis hypogaea shell showed antioxidative and antimicrobial activity. The methanol extract was successively purified by solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and octadecylsilane column chromatography. The purified active substances were isolated by high performance liquid chromatography, and were identified as 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid by LC-MS and GC-MS. The amount of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid were 3.8mg and 9.8 mg per kg of shell, respectively.

The ovary parts of Nelumbo nucifera were extracted in 80% methanol (MeOH), and the concentrated extract was then partitioned using n-hexane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and H₂O, successively. Using an octadecyl silica gel (ODS) column, silica gel (SiO₂) column chromatography, and a HPLC purification system, five compounds were isolated from the n-hexane fraction obtained from the extract of N. nucifera ovary. The chemical structures of the metabolites were determined using several spectroscopic methods, including NMR and GC/MS and MS of 1-eicosanol (1), cycloartenol (2), trans-squalene (3), pentadecanoic acid (4), and β-sitosterol (5). This study is a first attempt to isolate and identify secondary metabolites from the ovary of N. nucifera. The results indicated that the extract of N. nucifera ovary has biological effects, such as antibacterial and -tumor activity. Therefore, it could decrease the risk of HIV transmission through breastfeeding.

Improved sample introduction system has been investigated for the determination of volatile organic compounds in water using a purge & trap preconcentration apparatus and a capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The present limitations associated with the moisture control module and cryorefocusing system suggested by EPA were discussed. To solve the problems such as improper separation of peaks due to the adsorption of water and contamination of purge & trap system, a more efficient connection system between the purge & trap apparatus and the gas chromatograph was introduced and the optimum operational conditions were suggested. A carbopack B/carboxen 1000 and 1001 trap was used for the purge & trap procedure and a custom made crosslinked dimethyldiphenylpolysiloxane capillary column was used for the separation of compounds. Accuracy and precision of the method suggested in this report were examined and the method detection limit of each compound was proposed for the simultaneous determination of 54 volatile organic compounds in water.
