A strain producing soybean paste flavor was isolated from traditional Korean soybean paste. The isolate was identified as Bacillus subtilis PM3. The neutral fraction representing the traditional soybean paste aroma was obtained from the whole volatile components produced by B. subtilis PM3 in cooked soybean. Each separated peak from the neutral fraction of gas chromatogram was identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and Kovat's retention index, and the aromas of each peak were investigated by a sniffing test with the exercise panel. The twenty-nine components, including six character impact compounds and twelve components of flavors of Korean soybean paste, were confirmed. Some regions of gas chromatogram represented the soybean paste odor. It has been confirmed that traditional Korean soybean paste can be manufactured with the strain B. subtilis PM3.

The antioxidant activities of volatile aroma extracts from Cudrania tricuspidata (Carr.) Bureau were examined using two antioxidant assays. Ten volatile aroma compounds identified in this plant were also tested for antioxidant activity. The volatile aroma extracts of stem and root from C. tricuspidata exhibited antioxidant activities with a clear dose response relationship in both aldehyde/carboxylic acid and lipid/malonaldehyde assays. Antioxidant activities of volatile aroma extracts from C. tricuspidata at $500{\mu}g/mL$ were $77.02{\pm}8.12%$ (stem) and $74.19{\pm}6.82%$ (root) in the aldehyde/carboxylic acid assay. Antioxidant activities of volatile aroma extracts from C. tricuspidata at $160{\mu}g/mL$ were $76.17{\pm}4.25%$ (stem) and $61.43{\pm}2.11%$ (root) in the lipid/malonaldehyde assay. Positively identified volatile aroma components in extracts of stem and root from C. tricuspidata were seven terpenes and terpenoides, 14 alkyl compounds, 11 nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds, three oxygen containing heterocyclic compounds, 12 aromatic compounds, nine lactones, and seven miscellaneous compounds (possible contaminants). Among the positively identified compounds, eugenol, isoeugenol, and 2,4-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl)phenol exhibited antioxidant activities comparable to those of BHT and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. Vanillin and 2-acetylpyrrole showed moderate activities in the lipid/malonaldehyde assay. These results suggest that consumption of antioxidant-rich beverages prepared from C. tricuspidata could have beneficial effects on human health by preventing diseases caused by oxidative damage.

The volatile aroma concentrates were isolated from Pleurotus ostreatus by simultaneous distillation-extraction and analyzed by gas chromatography and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The aroma concentrates obtained had a typical raw or slightly cooked mushroom-like odor, and the yield was 123 ppm. Of 27 components identified, the major components were 3-octanone, 3-octanol, 2-octenal, n-octanol and 2, 4-decadienal, including 1-octen-3-ol contributing 67.06% of the total volatiles, and the $C_8$ compounds comprised about 80% of the total volatiles. On the other hand, the $C_6$ and $C_8$ alcohols in mushroom increased gradually with increase of standing time after homogenation, while aldehydes, ketones, and linoleic acid decreased, and also $C_6$ and $C_8$ compounds were significantly increased when linoleic and linolenic acid were added in homogenates. It appears that most of volatile aroma components in Pleurotus ostreatus were probably produced enzymatically from unsaturated fatty acids containing cis, cis-1, 4-pentadiene moiety.

This study was carried out to characterize aroma of semi-fermented teas made traditionally in Korea temple. These teas had favorable floral aroma. The extraction of aroma compounds was accomplished by a simultaneous distillation and extraction method using a Likens and Nickerson's extraction apparatus. The concentrated extract was analyzed and identified by GC and GC-MSD. The main aroma components of these teas were 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, (E)-2-hexenal, phenylacetaldehyde, 2-phenyl ethanol, geraniol, ${\beta}-ionone$ and nerolidol. Particularly, the concentration of phenylacetaldehyde was much higher concentration in semi-fermented teas than in green tea prepared from same place. The GC patterns of the aroma components in the semi-fermented teas were slightly different, though they were prepared in same place.

The semi-volatile fraction of cigarette mainstream smoke contains the most important aroma and taste that enhance smoke flavor. The components in mainstream smoke were analysed for commercially available cigarettes. To compare the semi-volatile components delivered from mainstream smoke of domestic cigarette with imported cigarette, we analyzed three types of filter cigarettes such as cellulose acetate mono filter, carbon dual filter and slim filter cigarette. Mainstream smoke was collected with a combination of Cambridge filter pad and liquid trap containing a small amount of acetone cooled by dry ice-methanol. We have identified 43 components from mainstream smoke by GC and GC/MS and found that benzene, toluene, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde, acetic acids nicotine and triacetin were the main peaks in mainstream smoke. Also we have compared the relative amounts of semi-volatile compounds delivered from the domestic and imported cigarettes with three different filters. From the results of this study, the relative amounts of limonene, acetic acid, 5-methyl-Lfuraldehyde delivered from the imported cigarettes were generally higher than those of the domestic one's.

Volatile aroma components were extracted from Korean burley tobacco (grades: heavy-1, heavy-5, thin-1, and thin-5) by using a vacuum steam distillation apparatus. Individual flavor components were identified by combination of Carbowax20M (used silica capillary gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Out of the identified components, neophytadiene (43.6ppm), megastigna-4,6,8-trien-3-one (4isomers) (3.32-23.5 1ppm), ethanol (1.8ppm), and ethylacetate (4.7ppm) were contained less in burley heavy grade-5 tobacco than in heavy grade 1 ; neophytadiene (43.7pp), megastigma-4,6,8-triers-3-one (4 isomers) (1.09-3.03ppm), ethylacetate (7.9ppm), and ethanol (8.4ppm), were less in burley thin grade 5 tobacco than in thin grade 1 : nicotin (75.79ppm), and solanone (8.5ppm) were less in burley heavy grade 1 tobacco than in burley heavy grade 5: solanone (5.76ppm), geranylacetone (9.02ppm), phenylacetaldehyde (1.12ppm), $\beta$-phenylethylalcohol (1.93ppm), and dihydroactinidiolide (1.39ppm) were less in burley thin grade 1 than in burley thin grade 5. On the other hand, iso-valeraldehyde, n-valeraldehyde, dimethylpyrazine, and propionic acid were not identified in Korean burley tobacco, but in American burley tobacco.

To compare the composition of volatile flavor components of three different cultivars of rice, Hyangnambyeo (aromatic cultivar), Heugjinjubyeo (pigmented cultivar) and Dongjinbyeo (normal cultivar), the volatile flavor components of brown rice were isolated by Likens-Nickerson simultaneous steam distillation and extraction apparatus. The flavor concentrates obtained were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 65 components, including 14 aliphatic aldehydes and ketones, 7 aliphatic alcohols, 8 aromatic alcohols, 13 hydrocarbons, 9 esters, 7 aliphatic acids, and 7 miscellaneous components were identified. The aliphatic aldehydes, which are known as contributors to the overall flavor of cooked rice, were present in larger amounts in Hyangnambyeo than in Heugjinjubyeo and Dongjinbyeo, while the difference in quantity of these components between Heugjinjubyeo and Dongjinbyeo was not remarkable. Hyangnambyeo and Heugjinjubeyo contained 562 ng and 259 ng of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline per gram of brown rice based on dry weight, respectively, which is a key compound contributing to the popcorn-like aroma in aromatic rice. Dongjinbeyo contained about 6 ng.

Normally cultured aromatic tobaccos, KA 101 and KA 103, were primed progressively in three-leaf segments, either 7 days before bud, bud, or early flower stage with 7 days interval, respectively, The cured leaves were weighed for yield, graded, analyzed for quality-related constituents including volatile aroma components. Also the cured leaves were manufactured and smoked by panelists. Yield and quality by price decreased with advancing ripeness. Reducing sugar, total nitrogen, protein nitrogen decreased with successive ripeness, but reverse in this trends with nicotine, petroleum ether extracts and volatile acids components. Among volatile neutral components, furfural, furfuryl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, penethyl alcohol and p-cresol decreased, but solanone increased with delayed harvest. Neophytadiene, oxysolanone, furfuryl aceton was highest at mid harvest, which was judged to be best by panelists. Mid harvest, first primed at bud stage when leaf color comes to pale green to yellow green, seems to be highly recommendable.
