To evaluate the effect of Ulmus davidiana powder on rice dasik, Ulmus davidiana dasik was made after supplementation with Ulmus davidiana powder(0, 3, 6, 9 and 12%(all w/w)). The proximate component of Ulmus davidiana powder was 7.49% moisture content, 2.33% crude protein, 0.84% crude fat, 14.09% crude fiber and 8.50% crude ash. The moisture content of samples were significantly(p<0.05) lower than that of dasiks with Ulmus davidiana powder. The pH values were significantly decreased with increased Ulmus davidiana powder(p<0.05). The lightness(L-value) was significantly decreased as Ulmus davidiana powder increased(p<0.05). Redness(a-value) of dasik with Ulmus davidiana powder was significantly higher than that of the control group. However redness was decreased with the amount of increased Ulmus davidiana powder. The yellowness(b-value) decreased significantly as Ulmus davidiana powder increased(p<0.05). In the mechanical evaluation, hardness in the groups with Ulmus davidiana powder increased significantly(p<0.05). Adhesiveness of the control group was lower than that of the groups with Ulmus davidiana powder. Springness in the control group was lower than that in the groups with Ulmus davidiana powder. But no significant difference in cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness among groups was found. The intensity of color, odor and astringency of dasik with Ulmus davidiana powder significantly increased as the amount of supplementation increased(p<0.05). And the preference of flavor with 12% Ulmus davidiana powder was significantly lower than that of the control group. In conclusion, rice dasik with less than 9% of Ulmus davidiana powder would be most proper in taste and overall acceptability.

The antioxidant activity was examined on ultra-fine powdered (UFP) Ulmus davidiana (U. davidiana) var. japonica. The average particle size of UFP or commercial powdered (CP) was $1-3{\mu}m$ or $100{\mu}m$. The extraction was performed using either ethanol (EtOH) or hot-water. Contents of phenolic compound of CP and UFP U. davidiana extracts in EtOH was 40.38 and 65.61 mg/g, respectively. In DPPH, EtOH extract of UFP U. davidiana showed a significantly greater activity than hot-water extract at 40 and $200{\mu}g/mL$. At $200{\mu}g/mL$, the activity was over 90% in all groups. The reducing power of UFP U. davidiana var. japonica in EtOH extraction was 74.3%, which was significantly greater than in other samples (p<0.05). In addition, reducing powder was significantly higher in UFP-EtOH than in other samples at all concentrations except for $0.32{\mu}g/mL$. The above results suggest that EtOH extraction of U. davidiana showed slightly higher DPPH radical scavenging activity, and ultra-fine powder of U. davidiana extracts may show higher antioxidative activities based on reducing power.

The bark of ash(Fraxinus rhynchophylla) and elm(Ulmus davidiana var. japonica) trees were collected, extracted with acetone-$H_2O$(7:3, v/v), fractionated with hexane, chloroform and ethylacetate, and freeze dried to give some dark brown powder. Each fraction of the powder was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column using a series of aqueous methanol and ethanol-hexane mixture as eluents. The ash bark contained a large amount of coumarin derivatives such as aesculetin and aesculin in addition to trace amount of ligstroside and oleuropein. Most of the elm bark extractive were (+)-catechin and its glycosides such as (+)-catechin-7-O-xylopyranose and (+)-catechin-7-O-apiofuranose in addition to a small amount of procyanidin B-3, a dimeric (+)-catechin. NMR and FAB-MS spectrometric analyses were performed to characterize the structures of isolated phenolic compounds.

Wood of black locust(Robinia pseudoacacia) and bark of poplar(Populus alba x glandulosa), ash(Fraxinus rhynchophylla) and elm(Ulmus davidiana var. japonica) trees were collected, extracted with acetone-$H_2O$(7:3. v/v), fractionated with hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate and $H_2O$. then freeze dried to get some dark brown powder for bioactive tests. Decay-resistant activity was tested using wood block specimens from the hardwood trees and expressed by weight loss rate. Black locust specimens indicated the best anti-decaying property and poplar blocks were the worst. Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities were also investigated against each wood or bark extractives. Antifungal and antibacterial activities did not indicate any significant differences among the tested fractions. In antioxidant activity. ${\alpha}$-tocopherol one of natural antioxidants. and BHT, one of synthetic antioxidants, were used as references to compare with the antioxidant activities of the extracted fractions. Ethylacetate fraction of ash bark indicated the highest activity besides BHT in this test and all fractions of black locust extractives also indicated higher activities compared with the other fractions.
