To better understand the exact nature of the major toxic compound responsible for phytotoxicity of sorghum stem, the most toxic compound from the stem extract was isolated by rapid chromatography and subsequently purified by thin-layer chromatography(TLC) and high pressure liquid chromatography(HPLC). Of the eight fractions isolated by rapid chromatography, the fraction with solvent combinations of butanol (8) : acetic acid (1) : water (1) had the highest toxicity. Further separation of the fraction by TLC in a solvent mixture of butanol (24) : acetic acid (16.4) : water (7) : propanol (1) showed that the spot with an $R_f$ 0.71 had one major peak with retention time of 20.40 minutes. Upon subjecting gas chromatography and the HPLC fraction to the mass spectrometry, the toxic compound is probably one of the four compounds ; 1-methyl-1-(2-propynyl)-hydrazine, 1-aziridineethanol, 5-chloro-2-pentanone, and 2-(methylseleno)-ethanamine.

38 strains were isolated in order to utilize lignin degrading ability from soil and compost. A organism having high lignin degrading ability of the isolated strains determined morphologcal and biochemical characteristics. Enrichment technique yielded a lignin degrading bacterium characterized as Pseudomonas sp. LC-2. This strain was able to degrade lignin which are the true representatives of native lignin and transform lignin to a lot of aromatic compounds as HPLC analysis of culture. By polyacrylamide gel analysis, it was determined that peroxidase consisted of three enzymes, with only one, the lignin peroxidase having high activity.

As a part of studies on the quality control of crude drug preparation drinks, ginseng saponins were identified by HPLC. Ginsenoside-Rb1 was determined quantitatively by HPLC. Ginsenoside MeOH/H2O(65:35:10, v/v) on Si-gel plate. Ginsenoside-Rb1 content determined by HPLC on Lichrosorbtract drinks was 57.5-70.4% compared to the content in the red ginseng extract.

The importance of separation comes from demands on study for exact effect of synthetic drugs and the reactivity of enantiomer in biological system. Racemization rate was measured under the influence of heat, acid, UV-light, enzyme(trypsin) and 6N-HCl at $105^{\circ}C$ on alanine, threonine, isoleucine, lecuine, aspartic acid, methionine, glutamic acid, tyrosine. The method for the identification of overlapped amino acids with GC was developed from the close study of fragmentation pattern with mass spectrometry. With cyclodextrin bonded phase by HPLC, the separation of dansyl amino acid was tested for compartison.

Aflatoxin $B_1$, $B_2$, $G_1$, and $G_2$were quantitatively detected by the high pressure liquid chromatography on a Micropak-CN column, with Hexane-THF-IPA-water, using a Lichrosorbpacked flowceil in the fluorometric detector. Under those conditions, the minimum detectable amount of aflatoxin $B_1$ was 0.2 ng. HPLC was used in determining amount of aflatoxins in the commercially manufactured soybean food and home-made Meju. Aflatoxin producing abilities of strains used in the industrially fermented soybean food were also studied with the HPLC technique. Although aflatoxin-like substances were detected in a few samples on TLC, they were not identified with the HPLC retention times of standard aflatoxins. The commercial fungal strains used in Korea had no aflatoxin producing abilities.

Due to the advantage of RP-HPLC with a variety of compositions of mobile phases, experiments on water-soluble charged species were examined. The samples were mononucleotides (5-CMP, 5-UMP, 5-GMP, 5-IMP, 5-AMP), and the buffers used were sodium phosphate monobasic and acetic acid. The concentrations of buffers ranged from 0.01 to 10 mM, while that of the methanol, an additive to the mobile phase was 5 to 20 vol.%. To predict the retention factor of a sample in terms of its methanol composition (M, vol.%) and buffer(C(sub)B, mM), the following nonlinear equation is suggested, k= $\frac{a+b C_B}{(1+c C_B) M^d}($ where a, b, c, and d were experimentally determined constants. The regression coefficients were above 0.96, and the agreement between experimental and calculated retention factors were relatively good.

The crude bioflavonoids were obtained by methanol and butanol extraction from Iyophilized orange (Citrus sinensis) peel. And then, its yield was about 0.26% in dry base. Two bioflavonoids were purified by gel filtration and HPLC, and could be identified narirutin and hesperidin through TLC, HPLC, UV spertrum and NMR analysis. The yields of narirutin and hesperidin from a gram of crude bioflavonoids were 42mg and 530mg respectively, and the main fraction of bioflavonoid from orange peel was supposed to be hesperidin. Each component was intravenously injected into Sprague-Dawley rats (1mg/100g body weight) and hesperidin was found to lower their blood pressure significantly (p < 0.001).

Analytical methods on Stevia sweeteners are compared for their reproducibilities and recoveries. It is possible to separate stevioside, rebaudioside A, rebaudioside C, and dulcoside A through HPLC analysis. Steviolbioside, in addition to above 4 Stevia sweeteners, is detected through TLC scanner and TLC-FID assays. C.V.s on stevioside and rebaudioside A in HPLC analysis are 1.39 and 4.89%, which shows outstanding reproducibilities of this method. The recoveries of stevioside in HPLC, TLC scanner, and TLC-FID analyses are 97.7 89.4, and 97.3%. The recoveries of rebaudioside A in HPLC, TLC scanner, and TLC-FID assays are 90.8, 90.1, and 75.8%. Total content of Stevia sweeteners in 8 strains tested, ranges from 5 to 17% as dry weight basis.

The methanol extract of Aralia elata bark showed antimicrobial activities against bacteria, yeast and fungi. The active components were successively purified with solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, silica gel partition column chromatography and HPLC. The active substances were separated with HPLC where 1% acetic acid-MeOH (60 : 40, v/v) was used as mobile phase. The isolated active substance ($t_r$ 17.1 min) was identified as trans-3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid by $MS,\;^1H-NMR\;and\;^13C-NMR$.
