This study was carried to investigate the effect of soil texture on the growth and the contents of quercetin-glycoside and lignans, and to improve the qualities of Saururus chinensis Baill. Soil texture resulted no significant effects on the number of nodes, the number of leaves, the number of branches and dry matter ratio. However, the shoot dry weight was higher in sandy loam, loam, silt loam and sand soil in that order. Although the weight of rhizomes of below 5 mm in diameter was not significantly different among soil textures, the weight of rhizomes between 5.1 and 10.9 mm and the weight of rhizomes of above 11 mm in diameter ranged $437{\sim}465\;g$ and was larger in clay loam than in other soil textures. No significance difference was showed in rhizome dry ratio ranging from 19.1 to 20.8%. The amount of quercetin-glycoside in leaves was higher in loam and sandy loam and ranged from 219.3 to 222.4 mg/100 g of quercetin-glycoside quercitrin, rutin, isoquercitrin and hyperin were higher in that order. On the other hand, quercetin-glycoside contents in stem were 14.8 mg/100 g and 12.4 mg/100 g in sandy and sandy loam, respectively, and were higher than in other soil textures of quercetin-glycoside constituents, the content of rutin was the highest. The content of lignans was increased in clay loam, loam, sandy loam, and sandy in that order of lignans, the manassatin B was the highest.

The result that test 3 years since 2002 allowing 6 processing such as $40{\times}5\;cm$ to supply basis data of method of cultivation establishment investigating productivity of Saururus chinensis by the number of cultivation years and planting distance, is as following. Plant height of foliar growth was good 1 year eats little, but 2 years planting distance $40{\times}10\;cm$, 3 years was best in $40{\times}20\;cm$ and there were many the number of tillerings 1, 2, all 3 years do high plant density, and rhizoma growth is 1, 2 years does high plant density, it was good tendency, but 3 years is best in $40{\times}20\;cm$. 1 year is most in planting distance $40{\times}5\;cm$, 2 years $40{\times}10\;cm$, 3 years $40{\times}20\;cm$, $1{\sim}2$ year accumulation quantity $40{\times}10\;cm$, $1{\sim}3$ year accumulation quantity $40{\times}10$, 20 cm in goods foliar amount.

Growth and ecological differences of some important medicinal plants (Carthamus tinctorius, Astragalus membranaceus, Digitalis purpurea, Melissa officinalis, Anethum graveolens, Angelica gigas and Saururus chinensis) were observed at the different attitudinal sites of Mt. Halla in Cheju from 1997 to 1998. Growth of all medicinal plants was generally higher in the northern slope parts than in the southern slope parts. But at 50m above the sea level in the northern slope regions, the germination, growth and yield of Astragalus membranaceus and Digitalis purpurea were reduced by the wind. As the altitude was higher, the temperature was more slowly down in the northern slope regions than in the southern slope regions, while, the moisture was relatively high. The growth of Carthamus tinctorius, Melissa officinalis, Anethum graveolens and Angelica gigas were generally reduced by the higher altitude. On the other hand, growth of Saururus chinensis was good at the 700m above the sea level.

Yogurt base was prepared from milk powder $(14\sim18%)$ to which was added 0.4% Saururus chinensis (Lour.) Bail water extract (SCE) and fermented with lactic acid bacteria (a mixed strain of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus) at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr. The viscosity of the yogurt added SCE (SCE yogurt) made from 18% milk was higher than that of SCE yogurt containing $14\sim16%$ milk, whereas the pH and titratable acidity of the SCE yogurt were not significantly different on the range of milk contents. The optimal milk concentration for SCE yogurt manufacture was 18%. In order to optimize the preparation of dressing from SCE yogurt, the central composite design was conducted in terms of the yogurt (30, 40, 50, 60, 70 g), the mayonnaise (6, 12, 18, 24, 30 g) and the salt (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 g) contents. Sensory evaluation was performed and evaluated using a response surface methodology. The optimum ingredient ratio for SCE yogurt dressing was determined to be 61.2% of yogurt, 23.5% of mayonnaise, 0.58% of salt, 0.58% of honey, 1.75% of mustard, 0.23% of Tabasco pepper sauce, 0.94% of wine and 0.04% of white pepper.

In order to develop natural food preservatives, the ethanol and water extracts of the Saururus chinensis Baill were prepared. Antimicrobial activity was examined against 10 kinds of harmful microorganisms. The ethanol and water extracts showed the most active antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis and E. coli. The ethanol extract showed stronger antimicrobial activity than that of the water extract. However, the extracts did not show any antimicrobial activity against lactic acid bacteria and yeast. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of ethanol extracts against B. subtilis and E. coli were 5 to 10 mg/mL, respectively. Antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract was not destroyed at 40-12$0^{\circ}C$ and pH 3∼11. The ethanol extract was fractionated in the order of hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, and water fractions. The highest antimicrobial activity was found in the diethyl ether fraction.

This study was carried out to find the effects of seed tuber position and number of nodes on growth of Saururus chinensis Baill. at experimental field of Chungbuk Provincial Rural Development Administration from 1996 to 1997. Seed tubers were divided into upper, middle and lower parts, and they were prepared to 1-, 2-, 3-node cuttings in each. Percentage of sprouting in planting of middle part was highest of 92%, and the percent increased by increasing the number of nodes. Growth of shoot and root tuber was the most favorable with planting of 3-node cuttings of middle part, and leaf area index (LAI) was highest of 3.10 in the same treatment. Dry matter weight and percentage of root tuber were highest of $821g/m^2$ and 28 % with planting of 3-node cuttings of middle part. Yield of dry leaf and root tuber were highest of 272kg/10a and 821kg/10a with planting of 3-node cuttings of middle part.

Yogurt base was prepared from whole milk and skim milk added with 0.2∼1.0% (w/v) of Saururus chinensis(Lour.) Bail water extract (SCe) and fermented with lactic acid bacterias (the mixed strain of Streptococcas themophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus) at 37$\^{C}$ for 24 hr. Quality characteristics of the yogurt were evaluated in terms of acid production, number of viable cells, viscosity and sensory property during lactic acid fermentation. The composition of organic acids was also measured by HPLC. Addition of SCe stimulated the growth of lactic acid bacteria and remarkably enhanced the acid production. The viscosity and lactic acid content of yogurt were also increased by addition of SCe. The sensory score of yogurt added with 0.4% of SCe was significantly higher than other groups in taste and overall acceptability The storage abilities of yogurts added with SCe were relatively good at 5$\^{C}$ for 15 days.
