This study was carried out to investigate the effect of KEM and SAF appication on contents change of fatty acids and organic acid of perilla(Perilla Frutescens Britton). Contenst of squalene in perilla leaves on control and KEM/SAF treated were 3.39 mg and 4.22 mg, respectively. Therefore the squalene quantity of KEM/SAF treated leaves was 24.2% more than that of control. A total 6 fatty acids in perilla leaves were analyzed in this study. Percentage of the saturated and unsaturated fatty acid in perilla leaves were 20 and 80%, respectively. Contents of phytosterols in perilla leaf such as campesterol and sitosterol were 2.0 and 20.0 mg, respectively. Therefore sitosterol content was 10 fold more than that of campesterol. The KEM/SAF application on perilla leaf was effective on the change of squalene or phytosterol contents. However effect of that was negligible on the change of fatty acid content.

This study was carried out to compare and analyze the effect of Korean effective microorganism(KEM) and seafood amino acid fertilizer(SAF) application on apple on functional substances of fruit. Vitamin C in fruit of control and KEM/SAF treated were 29.3 and, 39.8 mg, respectively. Also active oxygen scavenging ability of those treatments measured with DPPH method were 40.6 and 54.1%, respectively. Vitamin E contents of those treatments were 2.51 and 2.50 mg, respectively. Sitosterol, a phytosterol, contents of those treatments were 4.79 and 5.41 mg, respectively. Proportion of sugars, fructose, glucose, and sucrose in the fruit of control were 36.1, 15.3 and 17.8%, respectively. Those of the fruit of KEM/SAF treated were 45.9, 13.2 and 18.8%, respectively. Malic acid contents of control and KEM/SAF treated fruits were 53.7 and 43.8%, respectively.

Stigmastanol, a functional agent of cholesterol-lowering in humans, was synthesized from stigmasterol. To investigate the usability as a raw material, the contents of sterol in vegetable oils and extract of soybean chaff were analyzed. The total sterol contents showed high values of 213.7 and 209.8 mg/100g in corn and soybean oils respectively. The extract of soybean chaff has played a good role as a raw material with high sterol contents. The kinetics of hydrogenation of stigmasterol was studied using a 5% Pd/AC catalyst in the temperature range of 30~$60^{\circ}$C. Increasing temperature showed a prominent decrease in conversion. The optimum temperature was $40^{\circ}$C for high yield of stigmastanol. The effects of $H_2$ pressure, agitation speed, catalyst loading, and stigmasterol concentration on reaction rate profile were also examined. From the power law model analysis using the initial rates of reaction, the reaction order was calculated as 0.705 for stigmasterol concentration and 0.147 for hydrogen pressure.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of different fat diets on the serum lipid composition and on the morphology of liver tissue of the spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR), Rats were fed for 17 weeks one of four fat diets, control(corn oil : beef tallow=1:1), beef tallow, grapeseed oil and soybean oil. Blood was withdrawn by heart puncture from each SHR, and used to determine the serum levels of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, trigly ceride and phospholipid. No significant difference in body weight was observed in all diet groups. the total serum cholesterol was significantly lower in SHR fed grapeseed oil than that of other groups. The cholesterol lowering effect of grapeseed oil seemed to results from its high contents of phytosterol and linoleic acid. Also, serum HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipid contents were low in all the groups. photochemical microscopic observations of the liver tissue revealed the congestion of sinosoid which is regarded as the characteristics of SHR, but no significant difference was observed among the groups.

Three coumarins, one chromone, and a phytosterol were isolated from the stem of Ostericum koreanum. Basis on the spectral data, we determined to be the structures of isolated compounds as bergapten, xanthotoxin, auraptenol, hamaudol, and mixture of phytosterols. Auraptenol was isolated for the first time from this plant.

Four ursane-type triterpenoids, ursolic acid (1), 23-hydroxyursolic acid (2), corosolic acid (3), and tormentic acid (4), and a phytosterol, ${\beta}-sitosterol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$, were isolated from an EtOAcsoluble extract of the aerial parts of Potentilla discolor. The structures of 1-4 were identified by spectroscopic methods, particularly by extensive NMR studies. This is the first report on the isolation of compounds 1-4 from this plant.

From the dried roots of Caragana chamlagu Lamarck which have been known to be effective against neuralgia, arthritis, migraine, and sputum, etc. in the folk medicines of Korea, a colorless sterol-like substance, C$_{29}H_{50}O$, m.p. $115-117^{\circ}$, was isolated from the non-saponified fraction of methanolic extract. It was confirmed to be a mixture of four sterols, namely cholesterol, brassicasterol, campesterol, and $\beta$-sitosterol by physico-chemical properties, ir, nmr, mass spectra and gas liquid chromatographic method with the comparison of the authentic samples. In mass fragments of four sterols, furthermore, the same ions of m/e 273, 255, 229 and 213 were assigned to fragments of stigmastane skeletons of the unsaturated phytosterol, and the characteristic ions of each sterol were observed 386, 371, 368, 353 in cholesterol, 398, 383, 380, 365, 355, 337 in brassicasterol, 400, 385, 382, 367 in campesterol and 414, 399, 396, 381 in $\beta$-sitosterol, respectively.

Three phytosterols of rare occurrence, schleicheol 2 (1), $7{\beta}$-hydroxysitosterol (2), and $7{\alpha}$-hydroxysitosterol (3), were isolated from the n-hexane fraction of rice (Oryza sativa) bran, for the first time. Some nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) assignments in the literatures are inaccurate. This study employed two-dimensional NMR experiments to identify exact peak assignments.

Transgenic Eleutherococcus senticosus plants were prepared by introducing the genes for squalene synthase (SQS), hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) and green fluorescent Protein (GFP) through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The enzyme, SQS, represents a putative branch point in the isoprenoid pathway capable of diverting carbon flow specifically to the biosynthesis of phytosterol and oleanolic acid. The full SQS gene was isolated from P. ginseng roots. Early globular embryo clusters developed from embryogenic callus were used as the explant source. (omitted)
