Objective : Mu-yi (蕪荑, Ulmi Semen Pasta) is the fermented product of the seeds of Ulmus macrocarpa Hance (Ulmaceae) or other species of Ulmus genus mixed with adjuvant materials. The medicinal origin and preparing method of Ulmi Semen Pasta are different from those in the past literature. Therefore, medicinal origin of Ulmi Semen Pasta and its preparation method were investigated by literature study. Methods : The classic and contemporary literatures from Korea, China, and Japan regarding to Ulmi Semem Pasta were searched to find the time-based changes of Ulmi Semen Pasta preparation and its origin. Results : The fruit or seed of U. macrocarpa has been medicinally used as Mu-yi (蕪荑) or Mu-yi-in (蕪荑仁) respectively in Korea, China, and Japan until early in 20th century. However, from the middle of the 20th century, the fermentation was performed in medicinal preparation of the fruit or seed of U. macrocarpa mixed with various adjuvant materials such as clay, Chrysanthmi Flos, Ulmi Cortex, etc. The roles or evidences of those adjuvant materials have not been clearly explained, which could not guarantee the consistent quality of Ulmi Semen Pasta. Conclusion : Current preparation method of Ulmi Semen Pasta have challenges in terms of quality maintenance, standardization, and marketing. Therefore, it is suggested that apparent evidence of current preparation method should be established or intact botanical part (seed or fruit) could be used as medicinal part.

Leaves from Panax ginseng Meyer (Korean origin and Chinese origin of Korean ginseng) and P. quinquefolius (American ginseng) were harvested in Haenam province, Korea, and were analyzed to investigate patterns in major metabolites using HPLC-based metabolic profiling. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used to analyze the the HPLC chromatogram data. There was a clear separation between Panax species and/or origins from different countries in the PLS-DA score plots. The ginsenoside compounds of Rg1, Re, Rg2, Rb2, Rb3, and Rd in Korean leaves were higher than in Chinese and American ginseng leaves, and the Rb1 level in P. quinquefolius leaves was higher than in P. ginseng (Korean origin or Chinese origin). HPLC chromatogram data coupled with multivariate statistical analysis can be used to profile the metabolite content and undertake quality control of Panax products.

The present paper reviews the findings of different research studies on the effect of natural ingredients in the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) diet on carcass characteristics and meat quality. The results show a relationship between the type and concentration of ingredients used in diets and carcass characteristics and meat quality. The inclusion of medicinal herbs (thyme, black seed, and mint), plants (canola), seeds (chickpea), spices (cinnamon and coriander), worms (earthworms), bee products (propolis), phytochemicals (lycopene), and edible fungi (common mushrooms) in the diet improved carcass quality characteristics compared to the control diets (basal diets). The inclusion of medicinal herbs (spearmint and green tea), spices (cinnamon), vegetables (tomato), plants (verbena and canola), seeds (marijuana), and edible fungi (oyster mushrooms) improved meat quality. In conclusion, the use of ingredients of natural origin in the diet of Japanese quail improves carcass quality characteristics and meat quality.

Objective : This study was carried out to clarify the origin of 94 genus for 125 species of herbal woody plants. Methods : The examined herbalogical books and research paper which published at home and abroad. Results : The generic names of 30.85% by ratin ; Ancient Greek and other language, 14.89% by the personal name, 12.77% by the growth characteristics, 8.51% by the shape of fruit and other related shape,, 6.38% by the place names, 5.32% by the colors have been named. Conclusion : According to the investigation which Origin of the Herbal Medicinal woody Plants Genus from Herbalogy textbook, The number of genus names which are originated from ratin ; Ancient Greek and other language by 30.85% was the most of all.

For distinguish between Lophatherum gracile and Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis based on natural shape and external-internal morphology of medicinal shape, general contents of oriental medicine were rearranged through bibliography. As a result, two medicinal stuffs indicated the difference in shape and structure(external-internal and powder)of origin plant bibiliographically. After this, this contents were utilized to give proof of many effective difference between two medicinal stuff.

This is a brief review and discussion for present status and prospects of quality evaluation in medicinal plants as oriental medicine materials (OMM). Quality in medicinal plants could be defined as the combination of origin, external appearance, effectiveness and safety, and be evaluated by plant taxonomic, morphological, physiochemical and biological methods. For high-quality improvement and standardization of OMM, medicinal plants should be produced through using proper species or good variety and standard cultivation method in suitable cultivation area. Standardizing of quality means to meet with minimum qualifying criteria of OMM in the market while improving of quality to be over standard quality of medicinal piano in production. For making new high quality and standardized products, we need to keep standard field plants, standard OMM, standard plant specimen, and standard compounds. Researchers and administration have to study and propose the quality factors and their evaluating techniques and criteria, so high-quality and standardized produce of medicinal plane could be produced and distributed under the control of the relevant regulations, and would be contributed to increasing of national health.

Naturally occurring sulfur dioxide in medicinal herbs(crude drug materials) and its origin was investigated. Sulfur dioxide content in 28 kinds (101 samples) of medicinal herbs was studied by two different methods, Monnier-Williams and acid-distillation ion chromatography. Generally, less than 5 ppm of sulfur dioxide was found from the tested herbs. In some herbs, Monnier-Williams method showed higher level of sulfur dioxide than acid-distillation ion chromatography probably due to the presence of volatile organic acid presence in herbs. Naturally occurring sulfur dioxide measured in medicinal herbs may be derived from sulfur compounds of medicinal herbs.

In order for stable demand-supply and regularity of distribution, "The regulations for management of demand-supply and distribution of medicinal herbs" were established on 1995. Therefore, the medicinal herbs of good quality have been controled to be distributed in the market. However, to be wide of the purpose, the standardized sound distribution system was caused due to the governmental control on demand-supply to protect domestic farmers who produce the material for medicinal herbs, which results in the over distribution of non-standardized or illegally imported medicinal herbs. In addition, because of the distribution of faulty or poor medicinal herbs, there are chances of affecting bad effects on public health. The standardized medicinal herbs cover 514 different kinds in total, of which 69 products are specified to be standardized in the oriental medicine product companies. Also, in order to protect farmers who produce the materials for medicinal herbs, the amount of imported materials are regulated in normal times. The 14 different materials for medicinal herbs, which are allowed to be imported to a certain amount only when the shortage of goods or sudden rise of prices is to happen, are frequently introduced into domestic market as food not as medical usage, and the origin of those illegally changes to home cropped one for the distribution in the market. In addition, the system of distribution are to be disordered and the condition for the distribution of medicinal herbs of good quality can not be made since they illegally changes the usage of the materials for medicinal herbs from their original one and can not be regulated by the domestic laws.
