The essential oil from the cones of Pinus koraiensis was prepared after removing the seeds, and its chemical composition analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Hydrodistillation of the P. koraiensis cones yielded 1.07% (v/w) of essential oil, which was almost three times the amount of essential oil extracted from the needles of the same plant. Moreover, the antimicrobial activities of the oil against the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi were evaluated using the agar disc diffusion method and broth microdilution method. Eighty-seven components, comprising about 96.8% of the total oil, were identified. The most abundant oil components were limonene (27.90%), ${\alpha}$-pinene (23.89%), ${\beta}$-pinene (12.02%), 3-carene(4.95%), ${\beta}$-myrcene (4.53%), isolongifolene (3.35%), (-)-bornyl acetate (2.02%), caryophyllene (1.71%), and camphene (1.54%). The essential oil was confirmed to have significant antimicrobial activities, especially against pathogenic fungal strains such as Candida glabrata YFCC 062 and Cryptococcus neoformans B 42419. Therefore, the present results indicate that the essential oil from the cones of Pinus koraiensis can be used in various ways as a nontoxic and environmentally friendly disinfectant.

The young leaf of Perilla species was cultured by two stage culture system using the medium containing mevalonic acid lactone. The growth rate and productivity of essential oil of callus were increased. The essential oil from intact plant and callus was also analysed. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and one sesquiterpene alcohol were identified in essential oils of callus.

The essential oil fractions from six plant parts including leaf of Zanthoxylum piperitum and flower of Lindera obtusiloba have revealed to possess resistance inhibitory activity on antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus SA2 when combined with ohloramphenicol (Cm). The combination of Cm and essential oil mixtures showed potent resistance inhibition in the level of 10∼20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml.

Background: In Korea, Agastache rugosa (Fisch. & C. A. Mey.) O. Kuntze is one of the well-known perennial plants belonging to Lamiaceae. This mint-fragranced plant has long been used for the treatment of abdominal pain, congestion, chills, and diarrhea since the Goryeo Dynasty. Although this plant has various medicinal properties, it is only used as a spice and for landscape purposes. Methods and Results: The objective of this paper was to review the chemical composition and biological properties of the essential oil of A. rugosa. Several studies reported that the essential oil contains more than 60 different chemical components of monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated hydrocarbons. The major component is methyl chavicol (estragole), accounting for 64% - 88% of the oil. The chemical composition of this essential oil vaired widely according to the planting time, environmental conditions, planting distance, fertilizer application, and harvesting time. Conclusions: The essential oil of A. rugosa possesses various pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, antiviral, nematicidal, antifungal, insecticidal, wrinkle improver, stress reliever, and Alzheimer's disease alleviator. Hence, the essential oil from A. rugosa could be used for the development of high value-added industrial products in the near future.

The present study deals with the determination of optimal values of operating parameters such as the temperature of heating, the mass of the plant material and the volume of water leading to the best yield of electromagnetic induction (EMI) heating extraction of Algerian Thymus fontanesii essential oil. After an appropriate choice of the three critical variables, eight experiments leaded to a mathematical model as a first-degree polynomial presenting the response function (yield) in the relation to the operating parameters. From the retained model, we were able to calculate the average response, the different effects and their interactions. The maximum of essential oil recovery percentage relative to the initial mass of plant material was 1.69%, and was obtained at ($140^{\circ}C$, 250 g and 4.5 L). The chemical composition of the Algerian T. fontanesii essential oil under the obtained optimal conditions ($140^{\circ}C$, 250 g and 4.5 L), determined by GC/MS and GC/FID, reveled of the presence of major components such as: carvacrol ($70.6{\pm}0.1%$), followed by p-cymene ($8.2{\pm}0.2%$).

the phytotoxic effects of volatile substances emitted from the tomato plant (Lycopersicon esculentum) on receptor plants such as Bidens bipinnata, Plantago asiatica, Lactuca sativa, Eragrositis ferruginea and Achyranthes japonica were investigated. Bolatile substances from the leaves inhibited seedling growth of receptor plants in the laboratory tests. The inhibition response varied with the concentration of compounds. To identify the phytotoxic compounds from tomato plant a GC/MS method was employed. Forth compounds, such as trans-2-hexeal, linalool, phenylacetaldehyde, methlsalicylic acid and tetradecanaic acid were identified from the essential oil of tomato plants. The findings suggest that the tomato plant may have allelopathic potential.

본 연구에서는 다양한 생리적 기능성 외에 우리 국민에게 친숙한 향기를 지닌 냉이를 대상으로 식용 부위에 따른 향기성분을 SDE 및 SPM 방법으로 동시 분석하여 우리나라 고유 방향성 식물자원의 보다 효과적인 활용을 위한 기초 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. SDE 방법으로 포집한 정유 성분과 SPME 방법으로 추출한 headspace 성분간에는 상당한 차이를 보였는데, 정유에는 headspace 성분보다 상대적으로 탄화수소의 함량이 적었고, 케톤류, 알콜류, 에스테르류 및 유기산류의 함량이 높았다. 특히 phytol은 잎의 정유에서, ethyl acetate는 뿌리의 정유에서 상당이 높게 확인되었다. 냉이 특유의 향기에 기여하리라 추정되는 함유 황 화합물은 정유에서 높게 나타났다. 냉이의 정유 성분에는 알코올류와 유기산류의 함량이 특히 높은 것으로 확인되었으며, 이는 ph발of과 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid에 기인하였다. 냉이 headspace에는 다량의 탄화수소류가 함유되어 있었고, 에스테르류 및 유기산류의 함량을 미량으로 확인되었다.

에센셜 오일(essential oil)은 1 개의 단일 식물형 및 식물종이 만들어낸 향이 나는 식물 재료를 물리적인 방법으로 얻어낸 휘발성 물질로 방부, 살균, 항균 효과가 뛰어나 화장품, 향료, 아로마 테라피 치료 등의 목적으로 폭 넓게 사용되고 있다. 에센셜오일은 추출 및 농축과정을 거치게 되는데 이때 재배 과정 중 살포된 농약 또한 추출 및 농축이 됨으로써 인체에 유해할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 에센셜 오일 중 320 종의 잔류농약을 분석하기 위하여 LC-MS/MS와 GC-MS/MS를 이용하였으며 기존의 정제과정인 hexane 대신 freezing 과정을 이용하여 전처리방법을 개선하였다. 에센셜 오일을 분석한 결과 기준치가 설정되어 있지 않은 chlorpyrifos, piperonyl butoxide, silafluofen 성분이 basil oil 및 clove leaf oil에서 검출되었다. 따라서 에센셜 오일에 대한 잔류농약 모니터링이 지속적으로 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, antifungal activity of essential oils of Cymbopogon citratus and Ocimum basilicum and two fungicides Mancozeb and Metalaxyl-Mancozeb in six different concentrations were investigated for controlling three species of Phytophthora, including P. capsici, P. drechsleri and P. melonis on pepper, cucumber and melon under in vitro and greenhouse conditions, respectively. Under the in vitro condition, the median effective concen- tration ($EC_{50}$) values (ppm) of plant essential oils and fungicides were measured. In greenhouse, soil infested with Phytophthora species was treated by adding 50 ml of essential oils and fungicides (100 ppm). Disease severity was determined after 28 days. Among two tested plant essential oils, C. citratus had the lowest $EC_{50}$ values for inhibition of the mycelial growth of P. capsici (31.473), P. melonis (33.097) and P. drechsleri (69.112), respectively. The mean $EC_{50}$ values for Metalaxyl-Mancozeb on these pathogens were 20.87, 20.06 and 17.70, respectively. Chemical analysis of plant essential oils by GC-MS showed that, among 42 compounds identified from C. citratus, two compounds ${\beta}$-geranial (${\alpha}$-citral) (39.16%) and z-citral (30.95%) were the most abundant. Under the greenhouse condition, Metalaxyl-Mancozeb caused the greatest reduction in disease severity, 84.2%, 86.8% and 92.1% on melon, cucumber, and pepper, respectively. The C. citratus essential oil reduced disease severity from 47.4% to 60.5% compared to the untreated control ($p{\leq}0.05$). Essential oils of O. basilicum had the lowest effects on the pathogens under in vitro and greenhouse conditions. These results show that essential oils may contribute to the development of new antifungal agents to protect the crops from Phytophthora diseases.

향료자원 꽃향유 전초의 향기성분 essential oil, absolute 및 oleoresin을 추출 분리 동정하고, 지질과산화 억제, 세포독성, 돌연변이유발성 및 거담효과 등의 생리활성을 측정하였다. 꽃향유 전초의 essential oil 수율은 0.28%이었으며, 2-cyclohexen-1-one이 26.81%와 elsholtizia ketone이 13.46%로 가장 많이 함유되어 있었다. 꽃향유 전초의 absolute의 수율은 12.45%이었으며, methyl linolenate가 12.38%이었고, palmitic acid 9.47% 비율로 존재하고 있었다. 꽃향유 전초의 oleoresin의 수율은 9.95%이었으며, 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid가 22.15%로 가장 높은 비율을 차지하고 있었다. 세 방법의 지질과산화 억제활성 시험에서 $200{\mu}g/ml$ 처리했을 때 꽃향유전초의 essential oil과 oleoresin은 지질과 산화를 잘 억제하였으나, absolute는 거의 억제하지 못하였다. 꽃향유 전초의 oleoresin은 24시간에서 $EC_{50}$값이 $17.6{\mu}g/ml$로 고농도에서만 약간의 세포독성이 있으며, absolue와 oleoresin은 고 농도에서도 돌연변이 유발성과 항균성이 나타나지 않았으나 essential oil은 $500{\mu}g/ml$이상 처리 시 돌연변이 유발성 뿐만 아니라 항균성도 있는 것으로 나타났다. 꽃향유 전초의 essential oil과 oleoresin은 약간의 거담효과는 있을 것으로 판단된다.
