The flavor characteristics of the Korean red ginseng were compared with those of the Chinese red ginseng organoleptically. The Korean red ginseng had strong sweety and roasted odor while the Chinese red ginseng had strong earthy, woody and hay-like odor. The sweety odor and the roasted odor of the Korean red ginseng occurred in the neutral subfraction of the ether-soluble fraction of its headspace volatiles.

This study was conducted to determine on the proximate analysis and the several structural carbohydrate for 11 kinds of new vegetables. The samples were dried at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs and ground to pass a 0.5 mm screen. The crude protein and crude fat contents of new vegetables were 2∼3 times higher than those of grain as dry matter basis. However the crude ash content of new vegetables was 7 times higher than that of grain. Total dietary fiber was ranged from 32.61% (Costamary) to 41,22% (Treviso) as dry matter basis. Insoluble dietary fiber was ranged from 21.58％ (Red leaf beet) to 28.95％ (Treviso) as dry matter basis. Soluble dietary fiber was ranged from 6.60% (Nakai) to 14.70% (Common danelion) as dry matter basis. Total carbohydrates was ranged from 73.62% (Salad bowl) to 36.30% (Red leaf beet) as dry matter basis. Neutral detergent fiber was ranged from 48.83% (Nakai) to 29.60% (Red leaf beet) as dry matter basis. Acid detergent lignin was ranged from 27.65% (Salad bowl) to 2.92% (Corn salad) as dry matter basis. Hemicellulose was ranged from 22.55% (Nakai) to 2.15% (Salad bowl).

Cytotoxic effects of cytosine arabinoside and vinblastine on cultured fibroblasts were determined by colorimetric assays of neutral red (NR) and tetrazolium MTT, and by mutagenicity tests . Cytosine arabinoside and vinblastine were highly toxic by showing that concentrations of NR-50 and MTT-50 of two drugs were lower than 100 ${\mu}$M. At mid-point cytotoxicityvalue of two drugs, frequencies of micronuclei and SCEs were very high and chromosome showed structural abnormalities. The sizes of micronuclei formed by vinblastine were larger than those induced by cytosine arabinoside. These results suggest that cytosine arabinoside and vinblastine have highy mutagenic and severe cytotoxic effects on the cultured mouse fibroblasts.

Silk and cotton fabrics were dyed with Parmelia tinctorium that is a kind of lichen. Dyeing solution was prepared by fermentation in aqueous ammonia solution. The effects of pH and temperature in dyebath on dyeability were investigated. The maximum K/S value of each dyed fabrics was showed in 480nm. Silk fabrics showed better dyeability than cotton. Silk fabrics dyed well in acidic or neutral dyebath at $80^\circ{C}$ and cotton fabrics in neutral dyebath at $50^\circ{C}$. Both of silk and cotton fabrics showed poor dyeability in basic dyebath because of colouring anionic groups in lichen. The Munsell values of dyed silk fabrics were appeared in R(red) range, and them of cotton fabrics in YR(yellow-red) range. Light fastnesses of dyed fabrics were as poor as 2 or 2-3 grades. Also, Laundering fastnesses of dyed silk fabrics were as poor as 2 grade and those of cotton fabrics were 3 or 3-4 grades. But dry-cleaning fastnesses of all dyed fabrics were good.

According to the results of my study on the chromatographic analysis of fresh ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) roots, most of the contents of protopanxadiol ginsenosides $Rb_1$, Rc, $Rb_2$, and Rd are derived from the corresponding malonyl ginsenosides in fresh ginseng by a heat process. Also, I confirmed that acetyl ginsenosides are naturally occurring constituents in fresh ginseng, not decarboxylates from malonyl ginsenosides. Seven neutral ginsenosides $Rg_1$, Re, Rf, Rc, $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, and Rd were transformed to specific conversions in red ginseng preparation conditions. The conversion paths progress by three rules concluded from my study. These conversion rules are I: the ether bond is stable at positions 3 and 6 in the dammarane skeleton, II: the ether bond between sugars is stable in glycosides, and III: the ether bond to glycosides is unstable at position 20 in the dammarane skeleton.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the cytotoxicity of cadmium on cultured rat fibroblasts. The colorimetric assays of neutral red and tetrazolium MTT, the lactatedehydrogenase activity, the amounts of total protein, the rate of DNA synthesis, the amounts of unscheduled DNA synthesis, the frequency of sister chromatid exchange, the releasing rate of intracellular calcium, and light and electron microscopic studies were performed on cultured rat fibroblasts maintained in the media containing various concentrations of cadmium. The results were as follows: The neutral red(NR) and MTT values were decreased dose-dependently by cadmium, and the NR90, NR50, MTT90 and MTT50 values of cadmium were 0.2mM, 21.5mM, 1.0Mm and 60.0Mm, respectively.

Acidic polysaccharide of Korean red ginseng (AcPS) was subjected to alcohol-intoxicated rats to check the effects on the growth factors and lipid metabolism. Administration of AcPS showed prevent effects on the body weight, the increased contents of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and neutral glyceride in the serum and total lipid, total cholesterol and neutral glyceride in the liver of alcohol intoxicated rats were significantly normalized. And all of the effects were proportionaly increased with the duration of treatments.

The structures and conformations of ortho-, meta-, and para-methyl red (MR) upon proton gain and loss were studied by density functional calculations, and compared to methyl yellow for the effects of a carboxyl substitution. Internal hydrogen bonding causes the geometry of neutral o-MR planar, otherwise twist. Monoprotonated species of MR are planar where the proton is attached to $\beta$-azo nitrogen. This loses its azo character a bit, and shows strong delocalization characterized as a quinonoid canonical structure. Di-protonated species of MR is proved to hold two protons at the amino and $\alpha$-azo nitrogen atoms, and planar. It regains somewhat of its azo character, but still shows fairly delocalized property in terms of carbocationic canonical structures. The carboxyl substitution on 4-dimethylamino-trans-azobenzene structure has some delocalization effects on the geometry or conformation of MR derivatives whether neutral, mono-, di- or de-protonated.

The dependences of color gamut size and power consumption on the area ratio of the neutral and green subpixels for the RGB-LED-backlight RGBW LCD were studied, in which the red- and blue-subpixel areas are the same and represent one-quarter of the pixel aperture area. It was found that the color saturation of the RGBW LCD can be improved through the use of a smaller neutral- and green-subpixel area ratio, at the expense of higher power consumption.

This research was conducted to establish the efficient use of the colored rice bran fur dyeing textiles. To investigate the fabric dyeability of the colored rice bran extract, the anthocyanin pigments were extracted with water of different temperature ranges of 40 ~ 8$0^{\circ}C$ and were dyed on silk fabrics with different dyeing temperature $25^{\circ}C$~6$0^{\circ}C$, at acidic pH and neutral pH, respectively. Aluminum chloride was preheated with mordant K/S value and dyeing fastness of dyed silk fabrics were examined. The anthocyanins of the colored rice bran were stable and red color at acidic pH, red purple or purple blue at neutral pH, but unstable, blue color at alkaline pH. If extracting temperature and dyeing temperature of dyeing solution were higher, the dyeability was high, but the color of dyed fabric showed red tone. When extracting temperature was 8$0^{\circ}C$ and dyeing temperature of dyeing solution was 6$0^{\circ}C$, the dyeability was best. Without mordant, the dyeability of silk fabrics was higher in acidic pH than in neutral pH solution. With mordant, the dyeability was higher than without mordant, and also higher in acidic pH. Pretreatment of aluminum chloride resulted in the increase of color intensity and stability. The laundering fastness of dyed fabrics was good from grade 5 to grade 3-4. Because of the anthocyanins sensitivity on light radiation, the light fastness of dyed fabrics was poor from grade 3 to grade 1-2.
