Antioxidative activity of browning product(BP) fractionated from fermented soybean sauce(SS) was studied during the oxidation process of linoleic acid mixture system. SSBP was a powder type product prepared from fermented soybean sauce by the fractionation through the Sephadex G-10 column and freeze drying of collected fraction. The aqueous model systems were used for the evaluation of antioxidative activity of SSBP during the oxidative reaction at $50^{\circ}C$ by the determination of peroxider and conjugated dienoic acid compounds. The linoleic acid mixture for the aqueous model systems was consisted of linoleic acid(64.6%), oleic acid(27.4%), and other acids in ethanolic phosphate buffer solution(pH 7.0). SSBP had a considerable antioxidative activity with the inhibition of formation of peroxides and conjugated dienoic acids during the autoxidation of linoleic acid mixtures in aqueous model systems. Antioxidative activity of SSBP was relatively higher than SS, however, lower than ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and butylated hydroxyanisol. The antioxidative effect of SSBP was increased by the its concentrations from 0.05% to 0.5% in the oxidation reactions of aqueous model systems. Therefore, SSBP was considered as one of the potential natural antioxidants for the use of food products.

Starch solid system was used to investigate the effects of lipoxygenase, linoleic acid and water activity on the oxidation of ${\beta}-carotene$ or ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. ${\beta}-carotene$ or ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ was co-oxidized severely with linoleic acid by lipoxygenase, and these were reduced to 19% and 5% of initial concentration, respectively, after 2 days storage at $a_w$ 0.72 in the system. The concentration of ${\beta}-carotene$ and the destruction rates were linearly correlated. However, the ${\beta}-carotene$ was very stable in the system without linoleic acid and lipoxygenase. The oxidation products of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ were considered as ${\alpha}-tocopheryl$ quinone and ${\alpha}-tocopheryl$ dimer, and the level of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ quinone increased as the reaction time increased.

The natural antioxidants such as ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, NDGA, proply gallate and sesamol, and synthetic antioxidants, BHA were used to compare antioxidative effects of those antioxidants from tile physico-chemical properties and fatty acid composition changes in the soybean oil during storage. The oils were stored at $25^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks after heat treatment. Natural antioxidants were less effective than BHA but effect of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ was very similar to that of BHA. The order of antioxidative effect was BHA, ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, NDCA propyl gallate and sesamol. The relative contents of linoleic acid and linolenic acid was decreased as the degree of oxidative rancidity was increased. whereas content of oleic acid and palmitic acid was increased. The content of linoleic acid and linolenic acid did not decreased by addition of BHA and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$.

To observe the effect of dietary n6 linoleic acid, n6 gamma-linolenic acid and n3 alphalinolenic acid aon plasma lipid composition and platelet aggregation, twenty college women were divided into 4 groups and treated for 2 weeks with experimental diets supplying fat at 23% cal which were different only in fatty acid composition. Dietary fat was corn oil(CO) as a source of n6 linoleic acid(LA), perilla oil(PO) for n3 alpha-linolenic acid(ALA) and evenign primrose oil(EPO) for n6 gamma-linolenic acid(GLA). Plasma cholesterol level was slightly decreased by PL(13.5g) but significantly increased by equal amount of CO. However, there was similar hypocholeaterolemic effect when double amount of CO(27.0g), was supplemented. Therefore, total fat unsaturation may be more important factor for plasma cholesterol-lowering effect than the structure of fatty acid itself. Plasma cholesterol level was not lowered by supplement of GLA in CO diet. There was similar trend in hypotriglyceridemic effect by PO and CO as in plasma cholesterol. Plasma TG level was rather increased but not significantly by GLA supplement to CO diet. Overall, plasma lipid-lowering effect was greater by ALA than LA and GLA effect was not greater than by LA. GLA supplement did not significantly improve lipid compositions to prevent against CHD. There was no significant change both in fatty acid composition in platelet and ADP-induced platelet aggregation by GLA supplement to corn oil diet and by ALA in PO diet in young women.

Free fatty acid (FFA) intake regulates blood pressure and vascular reactivity but its direct effect on contractility of systemic arteries is not well understood. We investigated the effects of saturated fatty acid (SFA, palmitic acid), polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA, linoleic acid), and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA, oleic acid) on the contractility of isolated mesenteric (MA) and deep femoral arteries (DFA) of Sprague-Dawley rats. Isolated MA and DFA were mounted on a dual wire myograph and phenylephrine (PhE, $1-10{\mu}M$) concentration-dependent contraction was obtained with or without FFAs. Incubation with $100{\mu}M$ of palmitic acid significantly increased PhE-induced contraction in both arteries. In MA, treatment with $100{\mu}M$ of linoleic acid decreased $1{\mu}M$ PhE-induced contraction while increasing the response to higher PhE concentrations. In DFA, linoleic acid slightly decreased PhE-induced contraction while $200{\mu}M$ oleic acid significantly decreased it. In MA, oleic acid reduced contraction at low PhE concentration (1 and $2{\mu}M$) while increasing it at $10{\mu}M$ PhE. Perplexingly, depolarization by 40 mM KCl-induced contraction of MA was commonly enhanced by the three fatty acids. The 40 mM KCl-contraction of DFA was also augmented by linoleic and oleic acids while not affected by palmitic acid. SFA persistently increased alpha-adrenergic contraction of systemic arteries whereas PUFA and MUFA attenuated PhE-induced contraction of skeletal arteries. PUFA and MUFA concentration-dependent dual effects on MA suggest differential mechanisms depending on the types of arteries. Further studies are needed to elucidate underlying mechanisms of the various effects of FFA on systemic arteries.

The effect of cordycepin-enriched Cordyceps militaris JLM 0636 ($CM{\alpha}$) and Cordyceps militaris (CM) on fibrinolytic activity was investigated. The bioactive compounds and nutritional materials such as polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, glutathione, minerals, and fatty acids were also measured. Concentrations of polyphenol compounds, flavonoids, and glutathione were higher in $CM{\alpha}$ than that in CM. The major minerals of both materials were K, Ca, Mg, and Na. The major fatty acids of both materials were linolenic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid. Fibrinolytic activity was higher in $CM{\alpha}$ than that in CM. These results may provide the basic data to understand the fibrinolytic activity and bioactive compounds of $CM{\alpha}$.

Acornic powder was extracted with methanol and ethylacetate to obtain a crude acornic compounds. And they were examined concerning their antioxidant activities for linoleic acid. The results were as follows: 1. Hydrogen donating activity for DPPH was higher in 100ppm acornic compound than 100ppm BHT and 100ppm ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. 2. When the 100ppm acornic compound was added to linoleic acid, which was heated at $50^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours, antioxidant activities by POV and TBA was higher than that of 100ppm ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, but the effect was almost the same as the 100ppm BHT. 3. Antioxiodant activity of acornic compound showed synergistic effect along with malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, alanine, arginine, histidine, lysine-HCl, galactose, maltose, glucose and sucrose. 4. Acornic compound inhibited peroxidation of linoleic acid induced by heavy metals.

Adenophora remotiflora (Mosidae) is a perennial plant in the Campanulaceae family and a wild plant that only inhabits in Korea. This research analyzed the volatile compounds in Mosidae and their antioxidant activities. The volatile compounds in fresh, shady air-dried, and freeze-dried Mosidae were isolated by steam-distillation extraction (SDE) method using diethylether as a solvent. Volatile compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Antioxidant activities were determined using the linoleic acid system and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Sixty and seventy-two volatile compounds were identified from fresh and shady air-dried Mosidae, respectively. In fresh Mosidae, the most abundant compounds were ethyl acetate and heptyl acetate, while ethyl acetate and limonene were the most abundant in the shady air-dried sample. Inhibition of peroxide formation by fresh Mosidae was higher than that of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, and inhibition by shady air-dried Mosidae was same as that of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. Furthermore, volatile compounds from shady air-dried Mosidae had higher free radical scavenging activity than ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. The freeze-dried sample showed lower antioxidant activity in both the linoleic acid system and DPPH method.

High level of ${\alpha}-linoenic$ acid was present in P. frutescens Britton var. japonica (67.9％), P. frutescens Britton var, acuta (66.0％), lsodon japonicus (65.2％), l. inflexus (59.0％), l. serra (57.3％), Mosla dianthera (60.9％), Nepeta cataria (58.3％), Agastache rugosa (58.5％) and Elsholtzia ciliata (46.2％), and followed by linoleic acid (11.2-32.1％) and oleic acid (9.3-12.2％). However, linoleic acid was the most predominant component in the total lipids of Clinopodium chinense var. parviflorum (62.4％), Ametystea caerules (82.9％), Leonurus sibricus (60.9％) and Scutellaria baicalensis (63.4％), with very small amounts of ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid (0.4-3.1％). The total lipids of Salvia splendens, Lycopus maackianus and Mosla punctulata also contained linoleic acid of 31.3％, 48.8％ and 53.4％, with a considerable amount of ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid of 34.5％ 27.0％ and 16.7％. Palmitic acid was the major saturated fatty acid in all the oils investigated (4.1-14.2％). 4) Fatty acid profiles of neutral lipids bore a close resemblance to those of total lipids in all the seed oils, but different from those of glycolipids and phospholipids. Fatty acid composition pattern of glycolipids and phospholipids showed a considerably increased level of saturated fatty acids (19.0-66.8％, 17.8-35.2％) mainly composed of palmitic acid and stearic acid, and a noticeable low level of unsaturated fatty acids (41.2-80.9％, 64.7-82.1％) which was ascribed to the decrease in ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid of high ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid seed oils, and in linoleic acid of high linoleic seed oils, compared to that of total lipids and neutral lipids.

The Korean daily intake of vegetable oils has increased about 2.5-fold from 17 g/day to 46 g/day for the last several decades. Perilla (Perilla frutescens var. frutescens) has been cultivated in Korea for a long time as a dietary oil seed which has the highest content of ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid, accounting for nearly 60%. It is known that the main role of ALA is as a precursor to the longer-chain ${\omega}-3$, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the metabolic products of ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid (ALA, ${\omega}-3$). Dietary ${\omega}-3$ fatty acids reduce inflammation and the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis, but they also may act as functional components for cognitive and behavioral function. Thus, ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid is one of the essential nutrients in modern dietary patterns in which much linoleic acid is consumed. Nevertheless, perilla oil, rich in ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid, can be easily oxidized, giving rise to controversies with respect to shelf life, the deterioration of the product's commercial value, and further related toxicity. Recent research using genetic modifications has tried to develop new plant oil seeds that balance the ratio of ${\omega}-6/{\omega}-3$ fatty acids. Such trials could be a strategy for improving an easily oxidizable property of perilla oil due to high ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid. Alternatively, appropriate application of antioxidant to the oil can be considerable.
