In order to identify antibiotic substances in the extract of a lichen, Umbilicaria vellea, the extract was chromatographed and two compounds were isolated. Compound I which showed antifungal and antibacterial activities, melted around 129∼132$^{\circ}C$ and showed UV absorption at 217, 265 and 300 nm. It showed a molecular ion at m/z 196. Its molecular formular was confirmed to be $C_{10}H_{12}O_4$ from elemental analysis. From its IR and NMR data it was identified to be ethyl 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methyl benzoate. Compound II melted around 58∼59$^{\circ}C$ and showed UV absorption at 212, 276 and 282 nm. It showed a molecular ion at m/z 124 and molecular formular was confirmed to be $C_7H_8O_2.$ From the analysis of its IR and NMR spectra it was identified to be 5-methyl-1,3-benzenediol.

A total four-step synthetic process of high quality optical brightening agent 4,4'-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene (BBS) from methyl 4-formylbenzoate (MFB) was developed with 73% total yield. MFB is one of the main by-products in dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) production process. Our process involves the formation of 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylate (2) obtained from the reaction of an aldehyde in MFB with ethyl 4-((diethoxyphosphoryl)methyl)benzoate (1) and the subsequent transformation to 4,4'-stilbenedicarbonyl chloride (3). In order to prepare benzoxazole ring in BBS, various solvents and catalysts were studied. The best solvent and catalyst were found to be 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and boric acid, respectively suitable for mass production of BBS.

The 4-(1H)-benzotriazoyl methyl amino benzoate 3 was prepared by Mannich reaction of benzotriazole 1, ethyl-paminobenzoate 2 and formaldehyde. The prepared compound 3 then react with hydrazine hydrate results in the 4-(1H)-benzotriazoyl methyl amino benzoyl hydrazide 4. This compound on condensation with pre-prepared different ethyl 2-(2-(4-(4-substituted phenyl)thiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)-3-oxobutanoates 6a-d, furnished 1-(4-((1H-benzo[d] [1,2,3] triazol-1-yl)methyl amino) benzoyl)-4-(2-(4-(4-substituted phenyl)thiazol-2-yl) hydrazono)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one 7a-d. All the compounds 7a-d was characterized by spectral studies. The compounds showed significant antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and fungi.

The hexane fractions from methanolic extracts of Anetheum graveolens L. (Umbelliferae) and Acorus gramineus Soland. (Araceae) revealed potent inhibitory activities against the resistance of multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus SA2 when combined with ampicillin (Am) or chloramphenicol (Cm). As active principles, carvone and the liquid mixture containing carvone from Anetheum graveolens L. and a liquid mixture mainly consisting of benzoic acid phenyl-methyl ester (benzyl benzoate) from Acorus gramineus Soland. were identified. They showed resistance inhibition at the level of 20-50${\mu}g$/ml when combined with 100 or ${\mu}g$/ml of Am or Cm, respectively.

Fresh, and sun- and oven-dried red peppers were analyzed for volatile components. Also, their odor-active compounds were determined using gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). More diverse volatile components, such as aldehydes, ketones, acids, and esters, were found in dried samples than in fresh ones. They included hexanal, ethyl acetate, ${\alpha}$-ionone, and ${\beta}$-ionone. Some Strecker aldehydes, 2-methyl butanal and 3-methyl butanal, were found only in dried red peppers. More hydrocarbons of high volatility and terpene-type components, such as ${\gamma}$-terpinene and aromadendrene, were detected only in fresh red peppers. A considerable amount of naphthalene was formed during sun-drying, whereas 2-furancarboxaldehyde, 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole and benzeneethanol were detected only in oven-dried red peppers. Characteristic odor of fresh ones could be attributed to 3-penten-2-o1, 2-methyl-2-butenal, 2-methoxy phenol, 2-hydroxy-methyl-benzoate, and 2-phenoxy ethanol, whereas some odorants, including 2-pentyl furan, naphthalene, hexyl hexanoate, and ${\alpha}$-ionone, could be responsible for distinctive odor property of sun-dried red peppers. 2-Furancarboxaldehyde, benzeneethanol, 4-vinyl-2-methoxy phenol, and unknown played important roles in odor property of oven-dried red peppers.

Safening activities of optically active ${\alpha}$-methylbenzylphenylureas on crop injury of rice (Oryza sativa L., cv. Tsukinohikari, japonica) caused by bensulfuron-methyl (methyl 2-[[[[[(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)amino]carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]methyl]benzoate) and pyribenzoxim (benzophenone o-[2,6-bis[(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)oxy]benzoyl]oxime) were investigated. Some derivatives of the optically active compounds exhibited strong safening activity against growth inhibition of rice by bensulfuron-methyl. Out of the derivatives tested, (S)-2,3-diCl and (S)-2-F-4-Me derivatives showed greater relieving activity than that of dymuron. In addition, the stress relieving activity was also obtained when they were applied at 4 days after bensulfuron-methyl treatment. On the other hand, crop injury caused by pyribenzoxim was relieved by about 95% with (S)-2-F-4-Me derivative in shoots and roots of rice seedlings.

An anti-aging compound ethyl (4-(2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxyamido) benzoate) rapidly crystallizes in emulsion systems, and a flavonoid 3,5,7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxy-8-prenylflavone bearing a whitening function causes coloration of cosmetic compounds when mixed with metal oxides. In this study, an electrospray method was used to encapsulate water-insoluble bioactive compounds in polymeric microparticles. Poly (methyl methacrylate) and polycaprolactone were used to encapsulate ethyl (4-(2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxyamido) benzoate) and 3,5,7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxy-8-prenylflavone, respectively. It was found that polymer concentration, the structure of electrospray nozzle, and compatibility between polymers and bioactive compounds were important factors in the preparation of the particles. Polycaprolactone particles encapsulating 3,5,7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxy-8-prenylflavone was effective in preventing coloration of a cosmetic compound when mixed with metal oxides.

This study was carried out to investigate the differences of aroma and taste components among three kinds of kiwifruits from Korea, New Zealand and California. The moisture contents, pH, titratable acidity, organic acid, free sugar and volatile aromas were compared. The free sugar and organic acid were measured simultaneously by GC. Volatile aromas were extracted by simultaneous distillation and extraction and analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The moisture contents, pH and titratable acidity showed almost no differences among the three samples. Among the organic acids, malic acid contents were different. Citric acid contents were similar level. Quinic acid in Korean kiwifruits was extremely low compared to other samples. The total sugar contents were similar in three kiwifruit groups. The composition of major flavor components such as ethyl butanoate, hexanal, propyl butanoate, ethyl pentanoate, 2-hexenal, hexanol, hexanal, linalool oxide, methyl benzoate were different among Korean, New Zealand and California Kiwifruits.

This study was undertaken to elucidate the behavior of herbicide bensulfuron methyl [ methyl 2-[[[[[(4, 6-dimethoxy pryrimidine-2yl) amino] carbonyl] amino] sulfonyl] methyl] benzoate] in soils under flooded conditions using the test plant Monochoria vaginalis Pres 1. Besulfuron methyl moved to 3cm depth in clay loam soil and 4 cm depth in sandy loam soil. Herbicide-treated layer was found 0 to 2 cm profile in the former and 0 to 3 cm profile the latter. The half life (GR50) was 87 days in clay loam soil and 78 days in sandy clay loam soil. The period of inactivation lasted for 110 days in clay loam and 100 days in sandy clay loam soil.
