Phenolic compounds in air are toxic even at their low concentrations. We had evaluated a total of five phenolic compounds (Phenol, o-Cresol, m-Cresol, 2-Nitrophenol and 4-Chloro-3-methylphenol) in artificial air using a combination of ATD/GC/MS. To compare the adsorption efficiency of these phenolic compounds, three adsorbents (Tenax TA, Carbotrap and Carbopack B) were tested. Tenax TA adsorbent was most effective of all the adsorbents used for the efficiency test. Five phenolic compounds were found to be very stable on adsorbent tubes for 4 days at room temperature. Detection limit of five phenolic compounds ranged from 0.05 to 0.08 ppb (when assumed to collect 10 L air). The calibration curve was linear over the range of 22∼ 164 ng. The reproducibility was less than 4%. Sampling of duplicate pairs (DPs) was made to demonstrate duplicate precision and sampling efficiency.

Various techniques and strategies have been developed for the identification of intracellular metabolic conditions, and among them, isotope balance-based flux analysis with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/ MS) has recently become popular. Even though isotope balance-based flux analysis allows a more accurate estimation of intracellular fluxes, its application has been restricted to relatively small metabolic systems because of the limited number of measurable metabolites. In this paper, a strategy for incorporating isotope balance-based flux data obtained for a small network into metabolic flux analysis was examined as a feasible alternative allowing more accurate quantification of intracellular flux distribution in a large metabolic system. To impose GC/MS based data into a large metabolic network and obtain optimum flux distribution profile, data reconciliation procedure was applied. As a result, metabolic flux values of 308 intracellular reactions could be estimated from 29 GC/ MS based fluxes with higher accuracy.

Volatile components of Ixeris dentata and Amaranthus mangostanus, Korean wild vegetables, were collected by Steam Distillation-Extraction(SDE) method. Essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography(GC)and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). Sixty one components, including 13 alcohols, 9 esters, 12 aldehydes, 6 ketones, 9 hydrocarbons, 6 acids, 3 phenols and 3 miscellaneous ones were confirmed in Ixeris dentata. Fifty six components, including 15 alcohols, 5 esters, 13 aldehydes, 8 ketones, 3 hydrocarbons, 9 acids and 5 miscellaneous ones were confirmed in Amaranthus mangostanus.

국민소득의 증대와 함께 소비자의 고품질 농축산물에 대한 수요와 관심이 날로 증가하고 있다 이에 따라 안전하며 고품질인 농축산물을 소비자에게 공급하기 위하여 안전한 농축산물의 생산, 신선도 유지를 위한 유통구조의 개혁, 품질 및 안전성 평가기술개발을 위한 노력이 보다 더 요구되고 있다. 소비자가 믿고 구매하기 위해서는 농축산물에 대한 품질보증이 필수적이며 이를 위해서는 신속하고 정확한 품질 및 유해물질의 판정기술 개발이 필요하다. 많은 농축산물에 있어서 주요 품질인자인 숙도 및 신선도의 변화는 휘발성 화학물질로 이루어진 냄새의 변화로 나타나므로 이를 측정하여 품질 및 안전성을 간접적으로 판정할 수 있다 기존의 냄새에 의한 품질 판정은 판별전문가에 의한 관능평가법 또는 GC(Gas Chromatography)나 GC/MS(Gas chromatograph mass spectrometer)에 의하여 주로 이루어져 왔다. 하지만, 관능평가법의 경우 판별전문가의 개인적인 차이, 피로, 건강상태 등에 따라 판정의 객관성이 떨어질 우려가 있고, GC나 GC/MS를 이용할 경우 냄새분석에 많은 시간과 노력이 소요되는 문제점이 있다.

The volatile flavor components of traditional and commercial kochujang were collected by simultaneous steam distillation-extraction (SDE) method. Essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Tested kochujang included Sunchang kochujang prepared with glutinous rice, Boeun kochujang prepared with barley, Sachun kochujang prepared with wheat and commercial kochujang. One hundred and twelve volatile flavor components which included 30 esters, 15 alcohols, 14 aldehydes, 13 acids, 9 ketones, 7 alkenes, 6 phenols, 3 alkanes, 3 pyrazines, 2 benzenes and 2 furans were identified. The major volatile compounds in traditional and commercial kochujang were 2-methyl propanal and ethanol, which represented $21{\sim}36%\;and\;2{\sim}44%$ of total GC peak area, respectively.

This study was performed to apply the more rapid and accurate sample preparation, and the high selectivity and sensitivity of the analyte detection by gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) method was validated for 49 agrochemicals in the CORESTA Agrochemical Advisory Committee guide and amenable to GC-MS/MS determination. In QuEChERS method, the effects of sorbents (PSA, $C_{18}$ and GCB) and matrix of the analytes in tobacco types (flue-cured, burley and oriental) were investigated. MS/MS acquisition provided high specificity and selectivity for agrochemicals and low limit of quantification. QuEChERS by using PSA alone and the matrix-matched standards gave good recoveries and RSD values in three types of tobaccos. QuEChERS method was no needed to be complex clean-up procedure and would be used as the fast and easy method for agrochemical residue analysis in tobacco.

The fungicides, used for grape growth and remained in the wine products from domestic and foreign countries such as vinclozolin, dichlofluanid, penconazole, procymidone were quantitatively analyzed after solid-phase extraction using a GC/MS-SIM method. The results obtained were as follows: for all the samples, the content of procymidone was in the range from 2.2 to $76.1{\mu}g/L$, recoveries 81.3-93.1 %, and standard deviation 1.4-3.4 %.

Analytical method for saccharin in foods was developed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC/MS). Methylation with diazomethane, acetylation with MBTFA, and silylation with MSTFA and MTBSTFA were compared. Methylation of saccharin produced N-methylated saccharin as the major product and O-methylated saccharin as the minor one. Silylation of saccharin with MSTFA and MTBSTFA reasulted in the formation of the correponding O-silylated products, respectively. The derivatization of saccharin was optimized with MSTFA. The ions at m/z 240, 255, and 166 were monitored to characterize saccharin.

Volatile flavor components of edible portion of leek(Allium tuberosum R.) were extracted by SDE(simultaneous steam distillation and extraction) method using the mixture of n-pentane and diethylether (1 : 1, v/v) as an extract solvent and analyzed by GC-FID and GC/MS. Identification of the volatile flavor components was mostly based on the RI of GC and mass spectrum of GC/MS. A total of sixty-five components from leek extract were classified as 28 sulfur-containing compounds, 12 aldehydes, 9 alcohols, 4 lactones and esters, 3 acids and hydrocarbons, and 2 miscellaneous compouds. The sulfur-containing compounds were predominant in leek extract. Dimethyl disulfide(19.47%) and dimethyl trisulfide(17.38%) were the main compounds and trans-1-propenyl methyl disulfide, trans-2-hexenal and methyl allyl disulfide were also detected large amounts in leek.
