In order to isolate antimicrobial substances from Schizandra chinensis, the dried fruits were extracted with the methanol and the extract showed a strong antimicrobial activity. Also, the methanol exract was further fractionated with hexane, dichloromethane, ethylacetate and buthanol. The ethyl acetate-soluble fraction showed the strongest antimicrobial activity. These fraction were further separated by using various chromatographic methods including thin layer chromatography, silicagel open column chromatography and prep. HPLC. A major component S-EA-5-T1 and S-EA-5-T3 from the ethyl acetate fraction, which showed a strong antimicrobial activity was identified by Mass and NMR spectrometry. Two compounds were isolated and identified as trimethylcitrate and the essential oil of Schizandra chinensis and was estimated as gomisin C, respectively. The growth of S. typhimurium was also inhibited about 1.65 to 2.86 log cycle in minced pork by the addition 1% of Schizandra chinensis extract for 12 days at $4^{\circ}C$.

One of yellowed rice toxins, luteoskyrin, was investigated with respect to its identification, quantitation and producibility by Penicillium islandicum isolated from deteriorated rice. 1) Luteoskyrin was best resolved by thin-layer chromatography with silica gel G plate impregnated with 0. 5 N oxalic acid and acetone : n-hexane : water (6 : 3 : 1.5, upper layer) solvent system. The isolated yellow spot showed maximum absorption bands at 426 and 448 nm and changed to purple color upon exposure to sunlight for $2{\sim}3$ hours. 2) Detection limit for luteoskyrin was 4 ppm in elution-colorimetry and 0.1 ppm in densitometry after TLC. Assuming that the tolerance for luteoskyrin in rice is set below 3.68 ppm, densitometry is usable for its screening in grain samples 3) Producibility of luteoskyrin by Pen. islandicum was shown to be 11 mg/g mycelial mat in liquid culture and 40 mg/g autoclaved rice.

Typical rose flowers, 'Red Corvette (red)', 'Nobless (pink)', 'Golden Metal (yellow)', and 'Rose Yumi (white)', were used as experimental materials to examine flower color changes as affected by pressing method and light treatment for four weeks and eight weeks by 2,000 lux fluorescent light at a 16 hours daylength. Pressing materials in silicagel mat resulted in the least change after pressing and light treatment for all kinds. On the contrary, an electric pressing device caused color to change to brown. Flower colors deteriorated the most by an electric pressing device made in Korea for pink rose; an electric pressing device made in Japan for white rose; and paper sheet made in Korea for red rose. The sequence of degree in severity of color change after pressing was pink, yellow, and white roses. Light treatment brought about the most extreme color change in yellow 'Nobless' rose, while other three cultivars were rather stable in change of color.

This study was performed to describe analysis method of 209 PCB congeners in ambient air samples. The samples were collected by high volume air sampler in Chonju city. Extracted samples were cleaned by silicagel cleanup modified with sulfuric acid and activated carbon cleanup processing. The cleaned samples were analyzed by high resolution gas chromatography and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS) with DB-5 column (60 m, 0.25 mm i.d., 0.25 m film thickness) to analyze the 209 kinds of PCB congeners. PCBs levels of air samples were detected to the range between 0.003 and $0.163pg-TEQ/m^3$. The PCBs congener of 162 kinds were detected in samples analysed using DB-5 column and 37 kinds peaks were overlapped with congeners more than one. It is difficult to isolate PCB 118/106 and PCB 105/127 in coplanar PCB, so it is likely to overestimate the concentration.. The distribution of coplanar-PCB congeners in origin source samples (Kanechlor and exhaust gas from incinerator) was compared with that in air samples, and PCB 81, PCB 77, PCB 126, and PCB 169 were higher in incinerator samples.
