Five different methanol extracts of plants were evaluated as a mosquito repellent against Aedes albopictus in nude mice model. The volatile components of plants were analyzed with GC-MS. The effective dose was the highest in Nepeta cataria with 72.9, 83.7, 86.4, and 97.3% efficiencies at 10, 50, 100, and 200 ㎍/mL, respectively. Nepeta cataria, Actinidia polygama, and Artemisia annua extracts were the most effective in duration time test. And there was no difference compared to negative control in the low mosquito repellent efficiency from 30 minutes. As a result of analyzing the volatile components of each plant, a total of 28 components in Mentha suaveolens, 19 components in Actinidia polygama, 27 components in Artemisia annua, 26 components in Nepeta cataria, and 19 components in Taraxacum platycarpum were detected. Especially, nepetalactone known as an effective ingredient of a mosquito repellent was identified (27.95 mg/Kg) in one of volatile components of Nepeta cataria. Overall, our results provide the possibility to develop mosquito repellents material using natural plants which contain various volatile components.

The volatile compounds of soybean pastes(home made soondoenjang, commercial doenjang) were classified into basic, acidic and neutral fractions by dynamic headspace method. The fractionated flavor isolates were analyzed and identified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Each peak area of the flavor components was quantified at its ratio to the peak area of internal standard. Sixty one compounds from home made soondoenjang, and forty three compounds from commercial doenjang were identified. The different distribution of volatile compounds between the two soybean paste samples was observed. Ten pyrazines and benzothiazole were identified in the basic fraction of home made soondoenjang. On the other hand, trimethylpyrazine was the only one of nitrogen containing compounds in the commercial doenjang, which was made from soybean(28.3%), wheat(22.2%) and alcohols. The factors which influenced the levels of these identified compounds were considered to be the starting materials of soybean paste. Alcohols, esters and aldehydes in the neutral fraction of both samples were seemed to be characterisitic soybean paste flavor and showed much higher quantities than those of the basic or acidic fractions. Furfural in the commercial doenjang was the highest content (45.28ppm) among all of the compounds identified in the samples.

Volatile components of six commercial $sauces(A{\sim}F)$ and $\hat{O}yuk-jang$(G, H), a Korean traditional fermented sauce, were analyzed by electronic nose based on GC with surface acoustic wave(SAW) sensor. The obtained data were used for pattern recognition and a visual pattern called a $VaporPrint^{TM}$, derived from the frequency and chromatogram of the GC-SAW sensor. Volatile components of sauces and $\hat{O}yuk-jang$ were well discriminated with the direct use of $VaporPrint^{TM}$. Commercial sauces and $\hat{O}yuk-jang$ showed different volatile patterns, respectively, due to different major material, which meju, beef extract, pickled anchovies, and Katsuobushi were used. Volatile components of Oyuk-jang were decreased drastically during the fermentation time. After boiling $\hat{O}yuk-jang$, new several peaks were found. The responses by electronic nose were used for principal component analysis. The PCA plot showed that volatile components pattern were well discriminated by first principal component score(proportion: 96.8%), and first principal component score of $\hat{O}yuk-jang$ was between soy sauce of the liquid extracted from beef and sauce of pickled anchovies.

Since Houttuynia cordata is well known as a medicinal herb, due to its antibacterial activity on various microorganisms, present investigation was performed to identify the flavor compounds for volatile essential oil. Volatile essential oil was collected by simultaneous distillation-extraction(SDE), and then the oil components were separated on HP-5 capilliary column$(25m{\times}0.25mm\; i.d.)$ and identified those components by GC-MS. Fifty two compounds were isolated from the volatile essential oil of Houttuynia cordata and forty four were positively identified by GC-MS. The volatile compounds were composed mainly of terpenoids(25 classes), aldehydes(7 classes), alcohols(4 classes), ketones(3 classes), acids(1 class) and miscellaneous compounds(4 classes). Of these, the major compounds were ${\beta}-myrcene$, ${\beta}-ocimene$, decanal, 2-undecanone and geranyl propionate.

Volatile flavor components in powdered Katsuobushi were simultaneous trapped by steam distillation-extraction method, and these were fractionated into the neutral, the phenolic, the acidic and the basic fraction. Volatile flavor components in these fraction were analyzed by the high-resolution GC and GC-MS equipped with a fused silica capillary column. The whole steam volatile concentrate consisted of $48\%$ neutral fraction(NF), $35\%$ phenolic fraction(PF), $12\%$ acidic fraction(AF) and $5\%$ basic fraction(BF). Thirty components such as 8 hydrocarbons, 8 aldehydes, 6 furans, 5 alcohols and 3 ketones were identified from NF. And sixteen components such as phenol, guaiacol, dimethoxy phenol, eugenol in PF, twelve components such as propionic, butanoic, isopentanoic, n-hexanoic, heptanoic, octanoic acid in AF, ten components such as 2,6-dimethylpyrazine, 2-nethylpyridine, 2,4-dimethylthiaBole in BF were identified. NF and PF gave a much higher yield than others and were assumed to be indispensable for the reproduction of aroma of powdered Katsuobushi. It was also identified eight components of volatile carbonyl compounds such as ethanal, propanal, butanal, pentanal by 2,4-DNPH method.

This study investigated the chemical composition of burdock (Arctium lappa L.) leaves essential oil, and the quantitative changes of the major terpene compounds according to the specific harvesting season. The essential oils obtained by the hydrodistillation extraction (HDE) method from the aerial parts of the burdock leaves were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The essential oil composition of this plant was characterized by the higher content of phytol and 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone. Seventy seven (98.28%) volatile flavor compounds were identified in the essential oil from the burdock leaves harvested during the spring season of 2012, and phytol (33.47%) and 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone (32.47%) were the most abundant compounds. Eighty eight (99.08%) compounds were identified in the essential oil from the leaves harvested during the autumn season of 2012, and in this case, phytol (37.35%) and 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone (34.67%) were also the most abundant compounds. These two volatile components were confirmed as the major oil components of the burdock leaves during the time of any harvest. The ratio between the two components contained in the burdock essential oils did not differ significantly by harvesting season. But overall, the essential oil harvested during the spring season contained 65.94% of the two major components, while for the essential oil harvested during the autumn season, the total amount of these two major components was 72.02%. While the main ingredients of the essential oils were found to be unchanged from one harvest time to the next, it was found to differ in content. For the burdock leaves, the quality index of the volatile constituents according to the harvest time would be more useful for utilizing the total quantity other than the proportion between phytol and 6,10,4-trimethyl-2-pentadecone.

The volatile components of Pinus densiflora needles were studied by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS), using seven kinds of solid phase microextraction (SPME) fibers, seven in SPME fibers: 100 ${\mu}m$ PDMS, 65 ${\mu}m$ PDMS/DVB, 65 ${\mu}m$ SF-PDMS/DVB, 85 ${\mu}m$ PA, 75 ${\mu}m$ CAR/PDMS, 65 ${\mu}m$ CW/DVB and 50/30 ${\mu}m$ DVB/CAR/PDMS fibers. A total of 40 components were identified by using the seven different SPME fibers. The identified components were classified, according to their functionalities, as follows: 26 hydro-carbons, 7 alcohols, 4 carbonyl compounds, and 3 esters. The major volatile components of Pinus densiflora needles identified by these SPME fibers were $\alpha$-pinene ($1.7\~21.7\;{\mu}g/g$), $\beta$-myrcene ($2.0\~20.1\;{\mu}g/g$), $\beta$-phel-landrene ($4.6\~22.8\;{\mu}g/g$), $\beta$-caryophyllene ($6.7\~26.0\;{\mu}g/g$) germacrene D ($1.1\~11.9\;{\mu}g/g$). In the comparison of the seven SPME fibers, PDMS appeared to be the most suitable fiber for the analysis of hydrocarbon compounds and CAR/DPMS, PDMS/DVB, CW/VB and DVB/CAR/PDMS are shown to be optimal for analysis of the alcohols and carbonyl compounds.
