The content analysis of fatty acids in Perilla cultivars and commercial oils is conducted through gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector. Results show that Perilla cultivars, such as Deulsaem and Daesil, contain high amounts of ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid (262.22 and 261.97 mg/g, respectively). Among commercial oils, Perilla oil contains a higher amount of ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid (515.20 mg/g). Accordingly, ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid is a major fatty acid of Perilla cultivars and oil. Therefore, Perilla cultivars could be used as a food supplement for nutritional and pharmaceutical purposes.

A survey of Fusarium wilt of perilla was conducted in 12 locations in Korea from 1999 to 2001. The disease occurred in 74 out of 187 fields in the 12 locations surveyed, and incidence of the disease reached up to 30% at its maximum in some perilla fields in Seosan and Dangjin. Incidence of the disease in the other locations ranged from 0.2 to 20%. A total of 327 isolates of Fusarium spp. were obtained from stems and roots of the diseased perilla plants. The isolates were identified based on their morphological characteristics. Out of the 327 isolates of Fusarium, 277 isolates from 12 locations were identified as F. oxysporum, 11 isolates from three locations as F. solani,17 isolates from two locations as F. equiseti, 4 isolates from one location as F. avenaceum and 6 isolates from one location as F. subglutinans. The other 12 isolates of Fusarium from four locations were unidentified. Twelve isolates of F. oxysporum and two isolates each of the other Fusarium spp. were tested for their pathogenicity to five cultivars of perilla. Seven isolates of F. oxysporum were strongly pathogenic to some perilla cultivars, but the other five isolates were weakly or not pathogenic. One isolate of F. solani was strongly pathogenic to all the perilla cultivars tested, but another isolate was not pathogenic. All the isolates of F. equiseti, F. avenaceum, and F. Subglutinans tested were not pathogenic to any of the perilla cultivars tested. Symptoms on the perilla plants induced by artificial inoculation with strongly pathogenic isolates of F. oxysporum and F. solani appeared as wilt, stem blight, and root yet, which were similar to those observed in the fields. The isolates which induced symptoms by artificial inoculation were re-isolated from the lesions of the perilla plants inoculated. All the isolates of F. oxysporum tested were not pathogenic to eight other crops inoculated. Results of this study reveal that F. oxysporum is the main pathogen of perilla wilt and that it is host specific to perilla. forma specialis of F. oxysporum causing wilt of perilla is proposed as perillae.

This study was performed to investigate the browning intensity and electron donating ability of browning material in perilla oils from seeds roasted at 150~21$0^{\circ}C$ for 10~30 min. It was also investigated the oxidative stability of the blended perilla oil on the basis of sensory property and oxidative stability. The browning intensity in perilla oil increased with the roasting temperature and time increased. The browning intensity of perilla oil from seed roasted at 21$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min indicated 13 times higher than that of perilla oil from seed at 15$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. Electron donating ability on DPPH of browning materials presented in perilla oils increased with the roasting temperature and time increased. The electron donating ability of browning materials in perilla oil from seed reasted at 21$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min indicated 3 times higher than those of perilla oil from seed at 15$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. In conclusion, for the improvement of oxidative stability of perilla oil, perilla seed should be roasted at 21$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. These results suggest that browning materials formed between sugars and amino acids attribute to improve quality of oil such as sensory properties and oxidative stabilities. For the improvement of sensory property and oxidative stability of oil, perilla oil from seed roasted at 19$0^{\circ}C$ for 20 min was blended with the oil from seed roasted at 21$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min as ratio of 85 : 15.

the purpose of this paper is to study on the proximate composition, mineral and saponin content in white sesame, black sesame, and perilla seed. For this purpose, we have compared six different materials: white-raw-sesame, white-roast-sesame, black-raw-sesame, black-roast-sesame, raw-perilla seed and roast perilla seed, and have come to the following results. The crude fat content was the highest in white-raw-sesame(55.3%). In all the six samples, the crude fat content in raw seeds was all higher than that in roast seeds. The crude protein content was the highest in the roast perilla seed(24.6%), and in the six samples, the crude protein content in roast seeds all higher than that in roast seeds. The total sugar content was found to be the highest in the roast perilla seed(8.29%). The reducing sugar content was higher in raw perilla seed(1.57%) than in other sample materials. The ash content was the highest in black raw-sesame(5.93%), and that percentage rates was the same as that of FAO and of Japan. Minerals like Cd. Mn. Cu. Na. Mg. Pb. and Ca. were found to be contained more in black sesame than in other sample materials. The minerals contained most in white sesame were Zn.(61.6ppm) and Fe(49.4ppm), and K was contained a little more in perilla seed than in the others. The sample materials which contain saponin most were white-roast-sesame(0.34%) and black-roast-sesame(029%).

This study was carried out to obtain informations on the variations of oil content and fatty acid composition among 90 Korean perilla collections. Average oil content of 90 perilla collections was 44.2% with a range from 29.7% to 61.9%. Perilla collections with late-maturing, super-large seed and gray seed coat showed higher oil content than other types in general. Average saturated fatty acid content in perilla oil was 9.0% with a range from 8.2% to 10.7%, while average unsaturated fatty acid content varied from 89.3% to 91.8% with a mean of 91.0%. Contents of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were not related to maturity. There were no differences in the contents of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids according to maturity. Linoleic acid and linolenic acid contents were the highest in the super large-sized group(15.5%) and in the large-sized seed group(61.4%), respectively, while contents of fatty acids among the perilla collections were variable with different seed coat colors. Most of the traits studied were not significantly correlated with oil content, but linoleic acid($\omega$-6) content was negatively correlated (r=-0.217＊) with linolenic acid($\omega$-3) content.

The aim of this study is to examine the radical scavenging activity of perilla and sesame oil that Koreans traditionally consume. For DPPH radical scavenging activity, oil and its hexane/70% methanol extracts (ME) are used and for superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, ME are used. Unrefined perilla oil, sesame oil, and refined sunflower oil are used. The yields for ME of perilla, sesame and sunflower oil are 0.57, 0.61, and 0.30%, respectively, and the amounts of phenolic compounds in ME of corresponding oil are 18.77, 88.64 and $0.05\;{\mu}g$ tannic acid/mg, respectively. $IC_{50}$ for DPPH scavenging activity of perilla, sesame and sunflower oil are 2.12, 1.91, and 3.35 mg/mL, respectively and those for ME of corresponding oils are 0.42, 0.07, and 43.11 mg/mL, respectively. In DPPH assay, the solvent used for oil sample is iso-octane and that for ME is methanol. Superoxide anion scavenging activity of ME of perilla, sesame and sunflower oil tested at 1 mg/mL concentration are 21.10, 13.25, and 3.14%, respectively. Hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of those samples tested at 1 mg/mL concentration are 86.08, 93.30, and 93.17%, respectively. In summary, the refining process seems to remove the phenolic compound during oil processing. Antiradical substances in perilla and sesame oils responsible for scavenging DPPH radicals are present in the methanol fraction, while the antiradical substances in the sunflower oil are in the lipid fraction. DPPH scavenging activity of ME of sesame oil is significantly higher than that of perilla oil (p<0.05). However, superoxide anion scavenging capacity of ME of perilla oils was found to be greater than that of both sesame and sunflower oils (p<0.05).

To establish a detection method of irradiated perilla and sesame seeds, studies were performed with pulsed photostimulated luminescence (PPSL) and thermoluminescence (TL). The PPSL photon counts of the mineral separated from irradiated sesame and perilla seeds were higher than unirradiated one and exhibited an increase with increasing irradiation dose and mineral content. Also TL intensities of minerals separated from irradiated sesame and perilla seeds increased with increasing irradiation dose. In all samples, detection was possible with shapes and maximum TL temperatures of the second glow curves showing lower regions than those of the first glow curves and correctly classified as irradiated samples. Glow curve ratios of irradiated samples were higher than 0.5. These results suggest that PPSL and TL are applicable methods for the detection of irradiated perilla and sesame seeds.
