Effects of lignan compounds (sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin) extracted from roasted sesame oil on the autoxidation at $60^{\circ}C$ for 7 days and thermal oxidation at $180^{\circ}C$ for 10 hr of sunflower oil were studied by determining conjugated dienoic acid (CDA) contents, p-anisidine values (PAV), and fatty acid composition. Contents of lignan compounds during the oxidations were also monitored. ${\alpha}$-Tocopherol was used as a reference antioxidant. Addition of lignan compounds decreased CDA contents and PAY of the oils during oxidation at $60^{\circ}C$ or heating at $180^{\circ}C$, which indicated that sesame oil lignans lowered the autoxidation and thermal oxidation of sunflower oil. Sesamol was the most effective in decreasing CDA formation and hydroperoxide decomposition in the auto- and thermo-oxidation of oil, and its antioxidant activity was significantly higher than that of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. Sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin added to sunflower oil were degraded during the oxidations of oils, with the fastest degradation of sesamol. Degradation of sesamin and sesamolin during the oxidations of the oil were lower than that of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. The results strongly indicate that the oxidative stability of sunflower oil can be improved by the addition of sesamol, sesamin, or sesamolin extracted from roasted sesame oil.

Schisandra chinensis Baill. (Shisandraceae) is used commonly in traditional Korean herbal medicine. One new dibenzocyclooctene lignan compound, benzoylgomisin Q, was found, for the first time, in the fruits of Schisandra chinensis Baill., together with five known lignan compounds; schisandrin, gomisin A, gomisin G, deoxyschisandrin, and gomisin N, using an ESI-positive MS-preparative HPLC auto-purification system. The structures of these compounds were determined via UV, MS, and NMR spectral studies.

The determinabilities of several lignan compounds by capillary-GC (F1D) were studied. The lignan compounds used were deoxyschizandrin, gomisin N, schizandrin, wuweizisu C, gomisin A, angeloylgomisin H and tigloylgomisin H which were isolated from fruits of Schisandra chinensis BAILLON and identified with GC/MS(EI, 70eV), 1H-NMR(300MHz) and IR. The GC column used was SPB-1 fused silica capillary$(0.25mm\;ID{\times}30m,\;Supelco)$, and the column oven temperature was programmed from $200^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$ at the rate of $4^{\circ}C$ per minute. The linearities between concentration and FID response were maintained in $2{\sim}500ppm$ of deoxyschizandrin and wuweizisu C and in $5{\sim}500ppm$ of gomisin N, schizandrin, gomisin A, angeloylgomisin H and tigloylgomisin H. The contents of lignan compounds in fruits of S. chinensis BAILLON produced at Moo-ju area were analyzed by the GC method: the values obtained of schizandrin and gomisin N were 6.5 and 5.9mg/g respectively, and those of gomisin A, wuweizisu C, angeloylgomisin H, deoxyschizandrin and tigloylgomisin H were $0.5{\sim}1.6mg/g$.

Six lignan compounds, 1-(17,21-dihydroxyphenyl)-9-(12,13-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-nonanone (malabaricone C) (1), 7'-(3',4'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-8,8'-dimethyl-7-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-butane (2), 7'-(3',4'-dimethoxyphenyl)-8,8'-dimethyl-7-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-butane (3), 7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-7'-(3',4'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-8,8'-lignan-7-methyl ether (4), (+)-erythro-(7S,8R)-${\Delta}^{8^'}$-7-hydroxy-3,4,3',5'-tetramethoxy-8-O-4'-neolignan (5), and (+)-erythro-(7S,8R)-${\Delta}^{8^'}$-7-acetoxy-3,4,3',5'-tetramethoxy-8-O-4'-neolignan (6), were isolated from the seeds of Myristica fragrans. The chemical structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses including 2D NMR. Compounds 1 - 6 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against the HL-60, MCF-7, and A549 cancer cell lines in in vitro.

Eleven lignan compounds in fruits of Schisandra chinensis BAILLON were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC/MS). The GC/MS conditions were as followed: the GC column used was SPB-1 fused silica capillary $(0.25mm\;id{\times}30m,Supelco)$ and the column oven temperature was programmed from $200^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$ at the rate of $4^{\circ}C$ per minute; the MS ionization voltage was 70eV (EI mode). The compounds identified were gomisin J $(M^+;\;388)$, deoxyschizandrin$(M^+;\;416)$, gomisin N $(M^+;\;400)$, schizandrin$(M^+;\;432)$, wuweizisu C $(M^+;\;384)$, gomisin A $(M^+;\;416)$, angeloylgomisin H $(M^+;\;500)$, tigloylgomisin H $(M^+;\;500)$, angeloylgomisin Q $(M^+;\;530)$, gomisin B $(M^+;\;514)$ and benzoylgomisin H $(M^+;\;522)$, peaks of which were separated well on the GC chromatogram.

To obtain some information on the change of antioxidant components of seeds during grain filling stage as affected by the sowing dates, lignan compounds were investigated according to days of flowering under different sowing dates. Sesamin and sesamolin contents showed significantly different by days of flowering and varieties. Both of sesamin and sesamolin content increased after flowering and reached highest at 40 days of flowering, but they started to decrease thereafter, Sesamin and sesamolin contents of sesame seeds changed with sowing dates. Generally, late sowing date of May 30 showed relatively higher accumulation rate of sesamin and sesamolin contents rather than other sowing dates, but overall patterns were a little different by varieties and lignan compounds. In Yangbaekkae, sesamin and sesamolin contents showed relatively higher at sowing date of May 30, but Yanghuckkae showed higher sesamin and sesamolin contents till 20 days of flowering when sowing date of May 30, but it showed to change that both lignan contents were relatively higher under sowing date of May 10.

Sesamin and sesamolin, antioxidant lipidsoluble lignan compounds, are abundant in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed oil and provide oxidative stability of oil related to sesame quality. The sesamin and sesamolin contents of 403 sesame land races of Korea were determined by HPLC analysis of methanol extract (HPLC value), and their total lignan content was compared with those by using UV-Vis spectrophotometric analysis (UV method) of methanol (UV-MeOH value) and hexane (UV-Hexane value) extracts. HPLC values of total lignan content were strongly associated with UV-Hexane (r=0.705**) and UV-MeOH (r=0.811**) values. The UV values from both the extracts were 3.8-4.7 times higher than those of HPLC values. Lignan content was overestimated by UV method because total compounds in the mixture solution were quantified by absorbing at the same ultraviolet wavelength as in HPLC method. UV method could more rapidly analyze small amount of sample with higher sensitivity of detection than HPLC method. Average contents of lignans in sesame germplasm evaluated in this study were $2.09{\pm}1.02mg/g$ of sesamin, and $1.65{\pm}0.61mg/g$ of sesamolin, respectively, showing significant variation for lignan components. The results showed that UV method for the determination of sesamin and sesamolin could be practically used as a faster and easier method than HPLC by using the regression equations developed in this study.
