The aerial parts of tile Garland (Chrysanthemum comnarium L.) were extracted in MeOH and solvent fractionated with EtOAc, n-BuOH and water, successively. EtOAc fractions gave three steroid compounds through application of silica gel column chromatographies. The chemical structures of the steroids were determined by the interpretation of several spectral data, including NMR and MS as $stigmast-5-en-3{\beta}-ol\;(1,\;{\beta}-sitosterol),\;stigmast-4-en-6{\beta}-ol-3-one$ (2), $stigmast-4-en-6{\alpha}-ol-3-one$ (3). Compounds 2 and 3 have been so far reported only in the aquatic plants, were isolated for the first time from the land plants.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes in bound, free, and neutral lipid components of malt during malting, two-rowed barley. During malting, the temperature and relative humidity were $17^{\circ}C$ and 80%, respectively. The content of free lipids in both two-rowed barley and their malt was much higher than that of bound lipids. Decrease in the content of free lipids during malting was more prominent than that of bound lipids. The content of neutral lipids was 21.0mg/g-d. w. out of 27.9mg/g-d. w. of total lipids extracted from two-rowed barley. The content of neutral lipids decreased during malting. Triglyceride, free fatty acid and sterol ester were the principal components of neutral lipids. The content of triglyceride decreased during malting, but the content of free fatty acid and sterol ester increased. Linoleic, palmitic, oleic and linolenic acid were the principal fatty acid of free and bound lipids. The content of palmitic acid in free lipids increased during malting, but that of bound lipids decreased. The content of oleic acid in free lipids decreased. The principal fatty acids of neutral lipids were similar to those of free lipids. The content of palmitic acid increased during malting, but that of linoleic and stearic acid decreased.

A lipid producing yeast was screened from leaves of Albabiscus and was identified as a Rhodotorula graminis SW 214. During the shakining incubation of 8 days at $25^{\circ}C$, the yeast produced extracellular lipids of 7.3g/l of the media. The relative concentration of carbon and nitrogen sources in the media influenced the extracellular lipid production greatly. When with nitrogen sources in the media were almost exhausted for growth of the yeast the sufficient carbon sources, the lipid production proceeded vigorously. Eight days of batch cultivation with 8% glucose, 2.5g/l of yeast extract, $KH_{2}PO_{4}(1g/l)\;MgSO_{4}\;(0.2g/l)$ and pH 6 gave maximum biomass and extracellular lipid production of 8.05g/l and 8.89g/l, respectively. The acid value, saponificatio value, the iodine value, ad the unsaponifiable matter of the extracellular lipids of Rhodotorula graminis SW 214 were 2.6, 534, 5.1 and 2.4, respectively. Lipid was constituted 75.2% triglyceride, 5.9% free fatty acid, 10.8% phospholipid, 4.9% esterified sterol and 3.3% free sterol. Major fatty acids found were 3-hydroxypentadecanoate, 3-hydroxyhexadecanate, trans-9-octadecanate, cis-9-hexadecanate (hydroxy palmitic), 15-methylhexadecanate (oleic), 18-methylno-nadecanate, octadecanate (stearic) and 3-hydroxytridecante.

Among 34 isolates of Colletotrichum spp., 20 from red pepper and 14 from apple, only one isolate 2001-45 was identified as the isolate resistant to sterol biosynthesis inhibiting fungicides. EC$_{50}$ values of the isolate 2001-45 were 153.5, 42.7, 34.0, and 17.1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml for myclobutanil, tebuconazole, hexaconazole and nuarimol, respectively, The resistance factor of the isolate 2001-45 against the other isolate 2001-44 to 4 above fungicides was ranged from 17 to 57. However, EC$_{50}$ value of the 2001-45 for prochloraz was 0.07 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, which was lower than those of the 2001-44 and the isolate JC24. For the fitness test of the 2001-45, mycelial growth, sporulation on PDA and pathogenicity on fruits were investigated. No difference in mycelial growth was found between 2001-45 and 2001-44, but great difference in sporulation. No symptom was developed by 2001-45 even by wound inoculation of pepper fruit. Therefore, this study indicated that the isolate 2001-45 was inferior to the other isolates in the fitness, although the isolate 2001-45 was highly resistant to sterol biosynthesis inhibiting fungicides.

Lipid-lowering effects of the inulin have been demonstrated in animal, yet attempts to reproduce similar effects in humans have generated conflicting results. In this study, the lipid-lowering potential of inulin and especially its effect on bile acid and neutral sterol excretion were investigated in Korean postmenopausal women. Nineteen postmenopausal women were randomly divided into two groups in a double-blind parallel design and consumed one of two supplements for 12 weeks; placebo of 8g maltodextrins/sucrose mixture (placebo group) or 8g inulin (inulin group). There were no significant changes in body weight during the supplementation period in either inulin or placebo group. Dietary consumption of animal fat in both group tended to decrease after 12 weeks of experiment. Intake of cholesterol was lower in placebo group, whereas the decrease of cholesterol intake in inulin group did not reach statistical significance after 12 weeks. The levels of serum total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly decreased in both placebo (p＜0.05) and inulin group (p＜0.01) after supplementation for 12 weeks compared with the baseline. The levels of serum triglyceride (TG) and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) were not significantly affected by inulin supplements, but atherogenic index (AI) and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio (LHR) as a predictor for coronary heart disease were improved (p＜0.01) significantly after inulin supplementation. Therefore, inulin supplement may decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease via improving blood cholesterol level. Fecal weight and pH were not changed after 12 weeks of supplementation. There were no statistically significant changes for the fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). In inulin group, fecal deoxycholic acid (DCA) was significantly lowered compared with the baseline (p＜0.05) whereas other bile acids were not changed. During the 12 weeks of intervention, no differences were found in fecal excretion of neutral sterol in the two groups. In summary, dietary inulin decreases serum TC, LDL-C, AI, LHR and lowers excretion of fecal DCA in the Korean postmenopausal women. These results support the use of inulin for reducing risk factors for hyperlipidemic postmenopausal women. However, the exact mechanism (s) responsible for the blood lipid lowering action of inulin including altered fecal bile acid remain to be elucidated.

Total lipids (TL) from Korean pinenut (Pinuskoraiensis S & Z) were extracted, purified and fractionated into three lipid classes (neutral lipid: NL, glycolipid; GL, phospholipid; PL). Lipid contents(constituent components) and fatty acid composition of three lipid classes were determined by thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography. TL ranged from 69.0% to 69.8% in fresh pinenut and consisted of 95.9% to 96.7% NL, 3.2% to2.5% GL and 0.9% to 0.8% PL. In the NL, triglycerides were predominant (80.8%) with the smaller amounts of sterol, diglycerides, free fatty acids, sterol esters and hydrocarbons. Monogalactosyl diglycerides and esterified steryl glycosides (23.5%) were the major components of GL, but cerebrosides, steryl glycosides and digalactosyl diglycerides were also found as minor components. Of the PL, phosphatidyl choline (40.2%) and phosphatidyl ethanolamine (19.4%) were the major components, comprising over 60% of this class. Phosphatidyl inositol, lysophosphatidyl choline were also present in the PL. The major fatty acids in the NL were linoleic acid (48.6%), oleic acid (28.8%) and arachidic acid(14.4%), The fatty acid composition in the GL was similar to the pattern in the NL, but PL contained a higher percentage of palmitic acid (17.7%) and stearic acid (6.0%) than other lipid classes.

Three fractions-neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids were obtained from total lipids in cultivated mushrooms(Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus sajor-caju) and wild mushrooms (Ramaria botrytis and Lactarius volemus), and their lipid compositions and fatty acid compositions were determined by means of silicic acid column chromatography, thin layer chromatography and gas liquid chromatography. The total lipid contents in mushrooms were $0.32{\sim}0.39%$(wet basis). It was found that the contents of phospholipids$(19.4{\sim}47.4%)$ and neutral lipids$(32.1{\sim}51.9%)$ were high, while that of glycolipids$(14.8{\sim}28.7%)$ were low. The main lipid in neutral lipids was triglyceride$(21.2{\sim}38.2%)$ followed by free sterol$(21.0{\sim}21.9%)$, sterol ester$(10.3{\sim}18.6%)$, but the main lipid in neutral lipid of Pleurotus sajor-caju was free fatty acid(34.1%). The main lipid in glycolipids was steryl glycoside$(15.6{\sim}29.4%)$ followed by esterified steryl glycoside$(13.4{\sim}23.9%)$, monogalactosyl diglyceride$(15.6{\sim}24.6%)$. Among the phospholipids, phosphatidyl choline$(36.7{\sim}49.5%)$, phosphatidyl ethanolamine$(20.9{\sim}29.7%)$, phosphatidyl inositol$(18.4{\sim}26.1%)$ were the major components. The major fatty acid of total lipids was linoleic acid followed by palmitic acid, oleic acid. Fatty acid composition was not significantly different among total lipids, neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids contained in tested mushrooms but the main fatty acid in neutral lipid of Ramaria botrytis was oleic acid(48.7%).

The lipid and fatty acid compositions of neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid were identified and quantified by thin-layer chromatography and gas chromatography. Main constituents of the neutral lipid were triglyceride, free sterol and esterified sterol in the free lipid, and free fatty acid and monoglyceride in the bound lipid. In the outer part, there existed 25.7% triglyceride in the free lipid and it was not nearly found in the bound lipid. Main constitutents of the glycolipid were digalactosyl diglyceride and esterified steryl glycoside in the free lipid, and digalactosyl diglyceride in the bound lipid. Free lipid didn't contain trigalactosyl diglyceride but bound lipid contained 2.0% of it. Main constituents of the phospholipid were lysophosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl glycerol and phosphatidyl ethanolamine in the free lipid, and phosphatidyl choline and phosophatidyl inositol in the bound lipid. The predominant fatty acids of three fractions, neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid showed almost the same pattern as that of the total free and bound lipids. The content of palmitic acid was relatively higher in the polar lipids(glyco and phospholipid). Therefore, saturated fatty acid ratio of polar lipid was higher than that of neutral lipid. found lipid contained more saturated fatty acids as compared with the free lipid.

Lipids in oyster mushroom (Pleurotus florida) were extracted by the mixture of chloroform-methanol (2: 1, v/v) and fractionated into neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids by silicic acid column chromatography. Components and fatty acid composition of each fraction were deter- mined by thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatographies. Fresh oyster mushroom contained 0.5% total lipid in which the contents if neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids were 33.8%, 19.7% and 45. 6%, respectively, Triglycerides(38.2%), free fatty acids (20%) and free sterol (10%) were the major components among the neutral lipids. Diglycerides, monoglycerides, sterol esters and three unidentified neutral lipids were the minor components. Major components of glycolipids were steryl glycosides(35.9%) and esterified steryl glycosides (23.7%). Digalactosyl diglycerides, mono-galactosyl diglycerides and two unknown components were also present. Of the phospholipids, phosphatidyl cholines and serines (48.2%), and phosphatidyl ethanolamines(44.4%) were the major components. On the other hand, the major fatty acids of neutral lipids we.e linoleic, palmitoleic, oleic and palmitic acid. Linoleic and palmitic acid were the predominant fatty acids of both glycolipids and phospholipids.

Two rice varieties in Korea, an Indica type 'Tongil' and a Japonica type 'Jinheung', were stored at $5^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ for six months and the changes in organoleptic quality and lipid components were investigated to obtain the following results. In storage, both varieties brought about increases of hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess, and a decrease of adhesiveness among textural parameters of cooked rice. Storage at $5^{\circ}C$ showed no change in organoleptic quality but storage at $30^{\circ}C$ caused the occurrence of off-flavor in both varieties and a marked decrease of stickiness in Jinheung. Rice samples before storage contained 5-times more free lipids than bound lipids and free lipid content of Tongil was $70{\sim}80%$ of Jinheung. In storage, bound lipids tended to increase slowly while free lipids increased in both varieties at $5^{\circ}C$ and tended to increase in Tongil and to decrease in Jinheung at $30^{\circ}C$. In free lipid fractions of rice samples before storage were found 9 components including triglycerides, free fatty acids and sterol esters and in bound lipid fractions were found 8 components including free fatty acids and sterol esters, as the major components. In storage, changes in lipid components were more remarkable in free lipids than in bound lipids and in Jinheung than in Tongil. It was, therefore, concluded that Tongil variety had a better storage stability than Jinheung variety and the deterioration of rice quality occurred mainly in free lipid fractions during storage.
