Antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of volatile flavor extracts from Agastache rugosa were investigated. The volatile flavor extracts were obtained from leaves and stems of Agastache rugosa by simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE) method. Antimicrobial activity was investigated by disc diffusion and broth dilution methods against several microorganisms of Bacillus cereus, bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis, Corynebacterium xerosis, Staphylo coccus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Agrobacterium rhizogenes , Agrobacterium tumefaciences, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Candida utilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Volatile flavor extractsfrom leaves have strong antimicrobial activity against C.utilis and S.cerevisiae. When 0.12% volatile flavor extracts from fresh leaves were included in the medium, lag phase of C. utilis was extended 6 hr and that of S.utilis and S.cerevisiae was extended 2hr. Further analyses were performed to elucidatethe effective component of the extracts. The major component of volatile flavor was estragole, a phenolic compound. Minor components were determined to be terpenes , alcohols, acids , esters, ketones and aldethydes.

This research has attempted to investigate the volatile flavor compounds of onion products through acetic fermentation, and to create a natural beverage with beneficial biological properties which can also fulfill customer quality standards. Onion products (OAF (M): Onion extracts at five days of acetic fermentation, OAF (F): Onion extracts at ten days of acetic fermentation) were produced by acetic fermentation. Volatile flavor compounds from onion extracts, OAF (M) and OAF (F) were used by Mixxor liquid extractions and analyzed by GC/MSD. Compounds of 49, 75 and 69 were identified in onion extracts, OAF(M) and OAF(F) respectively. Among the major volatile flavor compounds classes, sulfur containing compounds (36.7%), acids (31.2%) and aldehydes (13.5%) in onion extracts were changed into acids (69.6%) and alcohols (24.6%) in OAF (M) and acids (80.6%) and alcohols (15.5%) in OAF (F). During acetic fermentation acetic acid, 1,3-butanediol (odorless) and 2,3-butanediol (onion flavor) increased remarkably, sulfur-containing compound such as 2,5-dimethylthiophene having anti-oxidant activities was detected by fermentation.

Antimicrobial activities of volatile flavor, water and methanol extracts from Agastache rugosa were investigated. The volatile flavor extract was obtained from A. rugosa by simulataneous distillation-extraction (SDE) method. Antimicrobial activity was investigated by disc diffusion method against several microorganisms, four species of Gram positive, three species of Gram negative and tow species of yeast. The volatile flavor extracts had strong antimicrobial activity againstc. utilisand S. cerevisiae. During the growth period, a difference in antimicrobial activity among volatile flavor extracts from A. rugosa was not shown. The water extract of above 10 mg/disc showed antimicrobial activity. Methanol extracts from A. rugosa harvested in June showed antimicrobial activity against tested Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, showed weak antimicrobial activity against the bacteria from those harvested in July and August. In particular, antimicrobial activity against V. parahaemolyticus was stronger than that against other bacteria. Water and methanol extracts did not inhibit yeast. C. utilis and S. cerevisiae.

The composition of two Bokbunja (Rubus coreanus Miquel) wines (one without mushroom extracts (wine A) and the other is with the extracts (wine B)) has been investigated to improve the quality of Bokbunja wine. The content of solid particle, acidity, crude ash, crude protein of the wine A were 10.5%, 1.36%, 0.45% and 0.05% and those of wine B were 7.4%, 0.54%, 0.31%, and 0.22%, respectively. Crude fat and crude fiber were not detected in both samples. To verify the flavor quality of Bokbunja wine, the volatile components from ethylether extracts of two wines were analyzed using GC/FID and GC/MS. A total number of 12 volatile flavor compounds (6 alcohols, 3 ketones, 1 acid, 1 ester and 1 anhydride) were identified in the two Rubus wines. The major volatile compounds of the wines were 2,3-butanediol, 2,5-furanedione, phenylethyl alcohol, and butanedioic acid and they might affect the major role in the unique flavor of Bokbunja wines.

This principal objective of this study was to evaluate the sensory properties and flavor compounds of Kimchi prepared with different levels (0.0%, 0.4%, 0.8%, and 1.2%) of Backryeoncho extracts (BE). At high levels of BE, Kimchi showed increased level of crispness and flavor, and also jeotgal odor decreased in the sensory evaluation. Addition of 0.8 % BE resulted in the highest scores for color, taste, and overall acceptance of Kimchi. Therefore, addition of 0.8 % BE appears to be an acceptable approach to enhance the quality of Kimchi without reducing acceptability. As a result of flavor compound analysis, a total of 24 volatile flavor compound, including 11 S-containing compounds, 6 terpenes, 1 acid, 1 ester, 1 alcohol, 2 miscellaneous compounds, 2 thiocyanates, etc., were detected by GC/MS. The major volatile compounds were s-containing compounds and terpene hydrocarbon, and especially terpene of sabinene was newly detected in Kimchi with added BE. Levels of 2-vinyl-[4H]-1,3-dithin derived from garlic flavor as a sulfide-containing compound along with diallyl trisulfide derived from green onion flavor were reduced in Kimchi with added 0.8% BE. Most sulfide-containing compounds were reduced in Kimchi with added BE, whereas most terpenes detected in control Kimchi were not detected.

Volatile extracts obtained from traditional Chinese-type soy sauces prepared with soybean (SSSB) and defatted soy meal (SSDSM) by solid phase microextraction (SPME) and direct solvent extraction (DSE) were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The volatile flavor compounds and relative contents of different chemical classes detected in SSSB and SSDSM were compared for their differences. Results showed that significant differences in both constituents of volatile flavor compounds and relative contents of different chemical classes were observed for both kinds of soy sauces. A total of 152 and 131 compounds were identified in SSSB and SSDSM, respectively, and 102 volatile flavor compounds were common in both kinds of soy sauces. Moreover, relative contents of acids, aldehydes, esters, furan(one)s, miscellaneous compounds, phenols, pyrazines, pyrrol(idinon)es, and sulfur-containing compounds in both kinds of soy sauces were all significantly different.

This study identified and compared the volatile flavor components of two commercial rice wines: one fermented using the mycelium of Phellinus linteus and a regular commercial rice wine. The volatile flavor components were isolated from the infusions by Porapak Q (50-80 mesh) column adsorption. The concentrated aroma extracts were then analyzed and identified by GC and GC-MS. Thirty-four kinds of flavor components were identified in the mycelium-fermented rice wine, including 11 alcohols, 8 esters, 3 ketones, 6 acids, 3 hydrocarbones, and 4 others. In the regular commercial rice wine, 36 kindss of flavor compounds were identified, including 9 alcohols, 6 esters, 4 ketones, 6 acids, 9 hydrocarbones, and 2 others. Therefore, the data indicate that the primary flavor components in the rice wines were alcohols and esters.

The effects of volatile flavor extracts of eight different herbal medicines, Juniperus rigida (JR), Saussurea lappa SL), Cnidium officinale (CO), Angelica gigas (AG), Eugenia caryophyllata (EC), Angelica tenuissima (AT), Mentha arvense (MA), and Artemisiae argyi (AA), were investigated on LPS-stimulated inflammation using Raw 264.7 cells. The volatile flavor extracts of CO and AG considerably inhibited LPS-stimulated NO, $PGE_2$, IL-6, and TNF-${\alpha}$ (except AG) production, as well as iNOS expression. Major volatile components of CO were identified as ligustilide and of ${\beta}$-eudesmol as AG by GC-MS analysis. Thus, these results suggest that the volatile extracts of CO and AG may be useful as potential therapeutic agents for inflammation-associated disorders.
