Amino acids, minerals and color of Codonopsis lanceolota that is one of Korean indigenous culinary herbs were analyzed. Arginine, glutamine, alanine and proline were the major total amino acids in wild, organic cultivated and cultivated Codonopsis lanceolata. The content of arginine was the highest free amino acid in wild, organic cultivated and cultivated Codonopsis lanceolata. The contents of arginine and K were the highest in organic cultivated Codonopsis lanceolata that was obtained by rice straw and fallen leaves application. Wild Codonopsis lanceolata was containing $3{\sim}5$ times Ca than organic cultivated and cultivated one. The contents of Pb and Cd were lower than 'countermeasure values for foodstuffs contamination'. Values of a, b and ${\Delta}E$ were significantly high in wild Codonopsis lanceolata than cultivated one.

The native ecological environment and aromatic constituents of Korean wild Codonopsis lanceolata and one Japanese strain were investigated to find Codonopsis lanceolata strains showing high aromatics, and to know regional differences among these strains. The results were as follows : There were no remarkable differences among the Korean wild C. lanceolata strains in ecological environments. Recovery yield of essential oils was highest in Togyusan strain with 0.009%. Difference in protein band patterns among these strains was not recognized, and peroxidase and esterase pattern changes were appeared in different collected regions at the leaf and root tissues. Major aromatic constituents were 11 kinds of aliphatic alcohols such as trans-2-hexenal, 1-hexanol, cis-3-hexanol, and trans-2-hexanol. And Togyusan strain, Sobaeksan strain, and Kayasan strain have the highest aliphatic alcohols of plant essential oils. In particular, BHT(butylated hydroxytoluene), one of the antioxidants, was detected in Chirisan strains.

Growth characteristics and aromatic constituents of wild and domesticated Codonopsis lanceolata grown in different regions were investigated to find the best cultural condition for quality improvement. The results were as followings: Air temperature of wild region was lower to 4~8 and soil temperature was also lower to 3 compared with domesticated region. Soil of wild region had about three times richer organic matter with lower pH. Chromosome number of wild and domestcated species was 2n=16, ovary number was 3, but seed number of wild species was 132 vs domesticated showing 62. Recovery yield of wild species grown wild region had 0.55%, besides that, the wild species grown in domesticated region had 0.34. But the domesticated species in wild and domesticated regions was the same as 0.28. Inorganic element contents of domesticated region showed much higher than that of wild region. Major aromatic constituents were specified in wild Codonopsis lanceolata as dimethyl benzene, 3-ethyl-5-2-(ethylbutyl)-octadecane, benzaldehyde, 14, 14-dimethyl-hexadecanoate, methylhexadecenoate of which was not detected in domesticated species.

Lipid fractions of the roots of cultured (five years old) and wild (eight years old) Codonopsis lanceolata were analyzed. The most abundant fraction of the lipids extracted from cultured and wild roots of C. lanceolata was neutral lipid and the next came phospholipid and glycolipid in descending order. The percentage, however, of the neutral lipid in total lipid was comparatively low, while that of phospholipid, particularly high; 41.30% and 29.34% in that of cultured and wild one respectively. The richest fraction of neutral lipid was triglyceride; 39.49% and 32.88% in the cultured and the wild respectively, and followed by sterol esters and free acid. Noticed amounts of sterol esters and monoglycerides which is able to be used as an emulsifiers, were contained in the neutral lipid of roots; 27.74% and 5.11% respectively. The unsaturated fatty acid fraction of the total lipid hydrolyzate contained in cultured and wild C. lanceolata roots was 72.87% and 74.37% respectively. The main fatty acid contained in the total lipid hydrolyzate was linoleic acid, and followed by linolenic acid palmitic acid. The main saturated fatty acid was palmitic acid and lauric acid.

In the present study, proximate compostions, fatty acid and amino acid compositions of wild and cultivated Dodok (Codonopsis laceolata B. et H.) were analysed. The contents of crude ash and crude protein were higher in the cultivated Dodok than in the wild Dodok. The main fatty acids in the total lipid, free lipid and bound lipid of wild and cultivated Dodok were linoleic acid, palmitic acid and followed by linolenic acid. In the case of wild Dodok, numerous unknown peaks were appeared significantly. The amino acids analyzed in wild aid cultivated Dodok were lysine, histidine, arginine, aspartic acid, threonine, serine, glutamic acid, proline, glycine, alanine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine and phenylalanine. Arginine was the predominant amino acid in both wild and cultivated Dodok.

This study was conducted to examine antioxidative activity and lipid composition from different parts and supplement flesh and skin of Codonopsis lanceolata in vivo. Forty six-week-old white Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups and fed with experimental diet for six weeks to measure antioxidant enzymes activities and lipid composition in blood and liver microsome. The activity of glutathione peroxidase in blood was high in all groups supplemented with Condonopsis lanceolata and the difference was observed in accordance with the supplemented part rather than the supplemented level. However, glutathione reductase activity and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in blood showed difference depending on the level of supplementation rather than the supplemented part. The content of liver MDA in all groups supplemented with Condonopsis lanceolata was lower than that in the control group. As the level of skin supplementation increased, an increase in glutathione peroxidase activity was also observed. Only in the group that 5% of Condonopsis lanceolata skin was supplemented, the glutathione reductase activity was higher than in the control group. Total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol of blood in the group supplemented with Condonopsis lanceolata flesh or skin were significantly lower than those in control group. HDL-cholesterol in blood was high when the flesh of Condonopsis lanceolata was supplemented. Total cholesterol and triglyceride in liver of the group supplemented with Condonopsis lanceolata flesh or skin were significantly lower than those in control group. In summary, this animal test showed that the supplementation of Condonopsis lanceolata, flesh or skin, generally improved the antioxidative effect of diet and lipid composition.

The experiment was carried out to find aromatic constituent composition of Codonopsis lanceolata species grown in the native(Mt. lrwol, Youngyang, Kyungpuk Province) and the cultivated(Andong, Kyungpuk Province) areas from 1994 to 1995. The results were as follows : Air temperature and soil temperature at the native area were lower to $2{\sim}3^{\circ}C$, and to $2^{\circ}C$ than the cultivated area. Organic matter contents of plant grown at the native area higher than that of plants at the cultivated area by 4.8%. Crude protein content was higher in plant grown at native area than the plant grown in wild area but in case of crude saponin, plants grown at wild area was higher than that of native area. For inorganic element contents. K content is much higher than in the domesticated area as compared with wild area above ten over. And other elements such as Cu, Mn, Na and Mg were not remarkably different in contents. In the free amino acid compositions, argine was highest compared with other free amino acids, and Arginine content was higher in dometicated area. Recovery yield of essential oil of wild species grown at the cultivated showed 0.005%, but domesticated species was 0.004%. But both species at the native area were the same by 0.004%. Although composition of aromatic constituents in the two areas and species varied, total aromatic constituent was 21 kinds. Most aromatic constituents were aliphatic alcohols such as 1-hexanol, eis-3-hexanol, and trans-2-hexanol occupied by approximately 90% over. But three constituets as amylalcohol, furfuryl acetate, and 2-methoxy-4-vinyl phenol(MVP) were detected only in domesticated species.

Proximate compositions, minerals and protein fractions of the roots of cultured and wild Codonopsis lanceolata of different age groups were examined as the basic research for the study of their source of processed foods. The most abundant proximate composition of the roots of C. lanceolata was observed to be total sugars and next come crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat and ash in descending order irrespective of cultured and wild ones. The richest mineral contained in the roots was noticed to be K and followed by Mg and Ca. Generally increased tendency of crude protein, fat, ash, K, Mg, Ca, Mn, Zn, Cu and P contents were observed with older roots, however, decreased total sugars and Fe content. Lead and cadmium content was far bellow the authorized tolerance limits. The quantitative fractionation of the protein of the roots ranked albumin the highest content, followed by globuin, prolamin and glutelin. Decreased albumin content was observed with the older age roots, while increased globulin, prolamin and glutelin content. The minimum solubility of the soluble protein of the roots was found to be at pH 4.0 and maximum, at pH 10.0. Disc gel electrophoresis of the soluble protein of C. lanceolata roots showed almost similar patterns and numbers of bands. The molecular weight for main band protein was estimated to be about 90,000.
