The volatile composition of Kiyomi peel oil cultivated in Korea was studied by using gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The peel oil from the Kiyomi fruit was prepared by using a cold-pressing extraction method. Among the 65 components quantified in Kiyomi oil, 25 terpene hydrocarbons and 40 oxygenated compounds were identified, with peak weight percentages measuring 94.5% and 4.9%, respectively. Limonene was the predominant compound (87.5%), followed by myrcene (2.4%), sabinene (0.9%), $\alpha$-pinene (0.8%), $\beta$-sinensal (0.8%), (Z)-$\beta$-farnesene (0.7%), neryl acetate (0.6%), valencene (0.5%), $\alpha$-farnesene (0.5%), and $\alpha$-sinensal (0.5%). A unique characteristic of the volatile profile of the Kiyomi oil was the proportion of aldehydes (2.7%), which resulted from the relative abundance of $\alpha$- and $\beta$-sinensal. Another unique characteristic of the Korean Kiyomi oil was its relative abundance of $\beta$-sinensal, (Z)-$\beta$-farnesene, neryl acetate, valencene, $\alpha$-sinensal and nootkatone. Valencene and $\alpha$- and $\beta$-sinensal were regarded as the influential components of Korean Kiyomi peel oil.

Cassumunar ginger (Zingiber montanum Roxb.) was grown in the experimental field at the Department of Horticulture, Kasetsart University, Thailand. The antioxidant activity and volatile oil content of rhizomes of varying age were measured. Antioxidant activity as determined using the DPPH (diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method differed significantly between samples of different ages. Antioxidant activity and rhizome age were positively correlated, with 22-month old rhizomes showing the highest radical scavenging activity (79.19%). Volatile oil was obtained by steam distillation of fresh rhizomes. The extraction yield of volatile oil was highest in l6-month old rhizomes (13.02 mL/kg). GC-FID data indicated the presence of three major compounds, sabinene, terpinen-4-ol and (E)-1-(3',4'-dimethylphenyl) butadiene (DMPBD), however none of the major components were correlated with the age of rhizome.

The fatty acid and volatile compound compositions of camellia oil were analyzed in this study. The impacts of the replacement of conventional vegetable oil with camellia oil on the sensory attributes of dried seaweed were also determined. C18:1 (83.59%), followed by C16:0 and C18:2, were the most abundant fatty acids in camellia oil. A total of 11 and 32 volatile compounds were identified in camellia oil and sesame oil, respectively. In the preference test, the camellia oil samples received a higher, although insignificant, liking rating in overall acceptability of appearance. Overall, there were no differences between the sensory attributes of camellia oil and sesame oil. This finding, combined with the unique fatty acid composition, thermal stability, and health benefits of camellia oil indicate that further study into the use of camellia oil in foods is warranted.

The volatile flavor compounds of the essential oils from Ixeris dentate (Thunb.) Nakai and I. stolonifera A. Gray were investigated. The essential oils were extracted by hydro distillation extraction method. Ninety-three volatile flavor components were identified from I. dentate (Thunb.) Nakai essential oil. Hexadecanoic acid(33.73%) was the most abundant compound, followed by (Z,Z,Z,)-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid(18.59%), 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanonel(10.39%) and phytol(5.21%). Ninety-seven volatile flavor components were identified from the essential oil of I. stolonifera A. Gray. Hexadecanoic acid was the most abundant component(39.7%), followed by (Z,Z,Z)-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid(12.63%), 9,12-octadecadienoic acid, ethyl ester(12.36%), pentacosane(5.2%) and 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone(3.18%). The volatile composition of I. dentate (Thunb.) Nakai was characterized by higher contents of phytol and phthalides than those of I. stolonifera A. Gray. The volatile flavor composition of I. stolonifera A. Gray can easily be distinguished by the percentage of sesquiterpene compounds against I. dentate (Thunb.) Nakai essential oil.

The number of natural products obtained from plants has now reached over 100,000 and new chemical compounds are being discovered ever year. Medicinal and Aromatic plants and their extracts have been used for centuries to relieve pain, aid healing, kill bacteria and insects are important as the antifungal and anti-herbivore agents with further compounds being involved in the symbiotic associations. Although their functions in plants have not been fully established, it is Known that some substances have growth regulatory properties while others are involved in pollination and seed dispersal. The complex nature of these chemicals are usually produced in various types of secretory structures which is an important character of a plant family and also influenced and controlled by genetic and ecological factors. Detailed anatomical description of these structures ave relevant to the market value of the plants, the verification of authenticity of a given species and for the detection of substitution or adulteration. Volatile oils are used for their therapeutic action for flavoring of lemon, in perfumery of rose or as starting materials for the synthesis of other compounds of turpentine. For therapeutic purposes they are administered as inhalations of eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, as gargles and mouthwashes of thymol and transdermally many essential oils including those of lavender, etc. With these current trend for using volatile components in essential oil will be increasing in the future in Korea and in the world as well.

The comparison of the volatile flavor components from Korean and Japanese Satsuma mandarin (C. unshiu Marcov. forma Miyagawa-wase) peel oils, isolated by cold-pressing, was performed by gas chromatography, mass-spectrometry and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). Eighty-five volatile components were identified in each oil by GC and GC-MS. Forty-three components were detected in each oil by GC-O. The total amount of monoterpene hydrocarbons was 95.88% (Korean mandarin) and 95.29% (Japanese mandarin). Limonene, ${\gamma}$-terpinene, myrcene and $\alpha$-pinene were the main components of the cold-pressed oils from the both samples. The volatile composition of the Japanese mandarin was characterized by a higher content of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, especially bicyclogermacrene, $\alpha$-humullene and valencene. The volatile composition of two samples can easily be distinguished by the percentages of aldehydes, ketones and esters, which were found at higher levels in the Japanese mandarin. The sweet and fruity flavor was stronger in the Korean mandarin oil while herbaceous flavor was stronger in Japanese sample. From GC-O data it is suggested that the sweet and fruity flavor of the Korean mandarin resulted from terpinolene and linalool, and the herbaceous note of the Japanese mandarin from $\alpha$-humullene, nepal, ι-carvone and perill aldehyde.
