  • Volatile flavor compounds in the headspace of swiss cheese whey protein concentrate (WPC) were analyzed by dynamic headspace analyzer, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometer. Sixty one compounds were detected from the headspace of dry WPC and 23 compounds from the headspace of an aqueous solution of WPC. The major components were propanol, hexanal, 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2,3-butanedion, 2-propanol, acetic acid, dimethyl disulfide and benzothiazole. An external dynamic headspace sampler, devised for this study, effectively collected volatiles from the headspace of dry WPC and aqueous WPC solutions.

  • Monoterpenes, in special limonene and its derivatives, are well studied in the literature due to their several properties. They are well recognized as major components of essential oils; some of them, are important industry residues, and others present some important biological activities. In this review, the biotransformation of the inexpensive limonene into flavor compounds was briefly reviewed and the main pathways for limonene biotransformation are presented. Furthermore, some important biological properties of these compounds were also considered, like bactericidal activity, induction of immune response, and role in disease prevention, with a little emphasis on some possibilities related to the mechanisms of anticancer action.

  • Mushrooms are known for their various attributes in the fields of nutrition and therapeutics. With exceptional taste, aroma, and nutritional value, they are considered 'functional food'-improving health and providing nutritional benefits to the body. Mushrooms have also been widely applied therapeutically as they possess diverse bioactive compounds known as secondary metabolites. These secondary metabolites demonstrated diverse biological properties such as anticancer, anti-diabetic, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-allergic, and antioxidative activities. This review presents bioactive compounds from the field of mushroom metabolite research and discusses important findings regarding bioactive compounds identified during the last five years (2015 - 2019).

  • The general reducing charagteristics of a newly synthesized reducing agent, lithium(2.3-dimethyl-2-butyl)-${\iota}$-butoxyborohydride (Li $Thx'BuOB_2$, 1), in tetrahydrofuran (THF) toward selected organic compounds containing representative fundtional groups under practical has been examined. The reagent revealed an interesting and unique reducing characteristics. Especially, the stereoselectivity in the reduction of cyclic ketones was extraordinary. Thus, the introduction of bulky alkyl and alkoxy groups into the parent borohydride affonds a high stereoselectivity. In general, the reducing power of the reagent is somewhere between the dialiylborohydride and the parent borohydride. This permits the reagent to be a reagent of choice for selecitive reduction of organic compounds with an improved selectivity.

  • It's not easy to detect the high quality and functional compounds for control quality of food materials. The electronic nose was an instrument, which comprised of an array of electronic chemical sensors with partial specificity and an appropriate pattern recognition system, capable of recognizing simple or complex odors. It can conduct fast analysis and provide simple and straightforward results and is best suited for quality control and process monitoring in the field of functional foods. Numbers of applications of an electronic nose in the functional food industry include discrimination of habitats for medicinal food materials, monitoring storage process, lipid oxidation, and quality control of food and/or processing with principal component analysis, neural network analysis and the electronic nose based on GC-SAW sensor. The electronic nose would be possibly useful for a wide variety of quality control in the functional food and plant cultivation when correlating traditional analytical instrumental data with sensory evaluation results or electronic nose data.

  • Five constituents were isolated from the stem of Acanthopanax senticosus. Their structures were elucidated as (-)-sesamin (1), iso-fraxidin (2), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (3), syringin (4) and acanthoside D (5) by spectral analysis. Among these compounds, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (3) was isolated for the first time from this plant.

  • The technology to predict new chemical compounds by using properties of already known compounds is a kind of data mining and an important technology in chemical industrial fields. Many knowledge have been accumulated in the fields, and especially nowadays in the field of medicine development industry, the technology is connected with the post genome technology, and generates a new conception, physiome. The word is defined as followings. It is the quantitative and integrated description of the functional behavior of the physiological state of an individual or species. The physiome describes the physiological of the normal intact organism and is built on information and structure, that is geno...

  • Reaction of carbonyl compounds with B-alkoxydiisopinocampheylborane (Ipc2BOR, R=H, Et, i-Pr, t-Bu) was investigated in detail in order to establish their usefulness as selective reducing agents. The reagents were extremely mild and reduced only aldehydes effectively under mild conditions. The reagents also reduced α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to the corresponding allylic alcohols without any detectable 1,4-reduction. Furthermore, aldehydes can be reduced in the presence of epoxides and acid chlorides. Consequently, the selective reduction of aldehyde groups in the presence of keto and all other functional groups has been realized with these reagents.

  • Lithium trimethylalkynylaluminates, prepared conveniently by reacting trimethylaluminum with lithium alkynide, readily react with aldehydes and ketones to give the corresponding propargyl alcohols in 70-95% yields. The reaction is highly chemoselective; thus many other functional groups such as amides, nitriles, epoxides and halogen compounds are inert under the reaction conditions. The reagents also show an excellent 1,2-regiospecificity in the reactions with cyclic or acyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
