Crude oils in the rhizoma of fresh and dried Gastrodia elata were obtained by a simultaneous steam distillation and extraction(SDE) method using n-pentane/diethyl ether (1 : 1) as solvent, and their volatile constituents were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC/MS) A total of 39 volatile flavor constituents (11 acids, 13 alcohols,6 hydrocarbons,7 carbonyls,2 esters) and 25 constituents (6 alcohols, 13 acids, 4 hydrocarbons, 1 carbonyl, ester) were identified in the fresh and dried Gastrodia elate respectively. The major volatile components of the fresh and dried sample were hexadecanoic acid(66.78%, 50.72%), 9-hexadecenoic acid(8.07%, 9.58%), heptadecanoic acid(2.01%, 0.13%), pentadecanoic acid(6.41%, 4.94%), p-cresol(1.43%,0.52%) and cyclododecene(1.83%, 6.00%).

Peroxides in natural products have been recently received a considerable attention due to their various biological and pharmacological properties. Nearly 300 peroxides have been isolated and structually characterized from natural sources, mainly as constituents of Compositae and marine sponge, and occur randomly in about 10 other plant families. Among peroxides studied, sesquiterpene endoperoxide, quinghaosu, has been already clinically applied as a new antimalarial drug. Based on the peroxides reported, structural classification, natural distribution and biological and pharmacological activities are reviewed. Color reagent and spectroscopic identification of peroxide are also described.

A large number of chemical constituents have been reported from the Himalayan yew [Taxus baccata (Linn) or T. wallichiana (Zucc)]. These constituents are mainly taxoids and phenolics. Taxol, a lead anticancer agent, is the most important constituent. Other compounds have also been found to possess interesting biological properties. The literature concerning the chemistry and bioactivity of the constituents of the Himalayan yew has been briefly reviewed.

신미종(辛味種) 고추의 추숙(追熟)에 따른 신미성분(辛味成分)의 변화(變化)를 부위별(部位別)과 capsaicin 동족체별(同族體別)로 측정(測定) 고찰(考察)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. (1) 추숙(追熟)에 따라 capsaicin homologues의 조성(組成)에 거의 변화(變化)가 없었다. (2) 과육부(果肉部)(태좌(胎座), 격벽(隔壁), 과피(果皮)) 신미성분(辛味成分)의 건물중당(乾物重當) 함유율(含有率)(%)이 추숙(追熟)에 따라 증가(增加)하고 있다. 이것은 신미성분(辛味成分)의 생성(生成)과 고형물소장(固形物消長)사이의 상관관계(相關關係)의 결과(結果)라고 보겠다. (3) 태좌(胎座) 격벽부(隔壁部)의 신미성분(辛味成分)은 그함량(含量)이 매우 높고 또 chi.-onset stage까지 증가(增加)하고 그후(後)는 감소(減少)하는데 비(比)하여 과피(果皮)의 신미성분(辛味成分)은 줄곧 증가(增加)하고 있어서 신미성분(辛味成分)의 이동(移動)을 짐작할수 있었다. (4) 종자(種子)의 신미성분(辛味成分)은 함량(含量)이 매우 낮으나 추숙(追熟)에 따라 조금씩 증가(增加)하고 있다.

Marrubium vulgare, plant species belonging to Marrubium genus, is widespread in the Mediterranean areas, introduced elsewhere and also cultivated in many countries. Its oil is recognized to possess a considerable biological activities with varied chemical composition. This paper aims to overview the chemical composition and biological activities of M. vulgare essential oil's considered as a medicinal plant, widely used in folk medicine overall the world. In essential oils of M. vulgare, germacrene D, ${\beta}$-caryophyllene, ${\beta}$-bisabolene, bicyclogermacrene and carvacrol are generally considered as either mains or minor constituents and each species presents its own composition. Sesquiterpenoids were the dominant fraction while monoterpenoids were present in appreciable or in trace amount. Oxygenated fractions dominated in monoterpenes however, hydrocarbon fraction overpowered in sesquiterpenes. These oils are biologically active, they exhibit an antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and other activities. Due to the variability of composition of essential oil, further studies are necessary, particularly regarding their chemical's which may cause an important change in the biological activities of oils and probably defined different chemotype.

We have conducted a comprehensive literature review regarding the chemical constituents and biological activities of Korean black ginseng(Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer), three to nine times-steamed and dried ginseng, which shows strong black color through Maillared browning reaction. It has been reported that some chemically deglycosylated and transformed saponins are obtained from black ginseng as artifacts produced during intensive steaming. They have been known to be ginsenosides Rg3, Rg4, Rg5, Rg6, Rh1, Rh2, Rh4, Rk1 and Rk3, quite different from those of red ginseng, among which ginsenosides Rg3, Rg5 and Rk1 are considered to be major components. And also, black ginseng has been recently found to demonstrate anticancer, recovery from learning and memory damages, hypontensive, antidiabetic, antiobesitic, tonic and antiatopic activities, together with antioxidative and exercise performance improving activities, exhibiting their effects to be a little bit stronger than those of red ginseng. These findings suggest that black ginsng might play an important role in the development of promising functional foods and drugs from the viewpoint of the chemical composition and biological activities of black ginseng with a distinction from those of white and red ginsengs. In this review, the authors will survey and evaluate further functions of black ginseng with a focus on its physicochemical properties and biological activities.
