A recycling agent has been manufactured on the basis of the chemical composition of reclaimed asphalt binders and virgin asphalt binders. The chemical compositions of reclaimed asphalt binders extracted from reclaimed asphalt pavements have been analyzed according to the ASTM method and the results were compared to those of virgin asphalt binder AP-3. Reclaimed asphalt binders have shown that asphaltenes was increased whereas saturates, naphthene aromatics, and polar aromatics fractions were decreased. A recycling agent made of aromatic compounds, in which its chemical composition is similar to the aromatics fraction in asphalt binders, has been produced to reduce the amount of asphaltenes in reclaimed asphalt hinders. The evaluation of the recycling agent produced was performed by testing ductility, rolling and ball softening point, penetration at $25^{\circ}C$ and viscosity at $60^{\circ}C$. It was found that, by adding the recycling agent 20% by weight to the reclaimed asphalt binders, the physical properties of reclaimed asphalt binders was recovered to the level of virgin asphalt binder AP-3.

Thirty-one units of pure rosemary essential oil (EO) in domestic and foreign distribution markets were collected. Aromatic components of these samples were analyzed and antioxidant activity was measured. As the result, major aromatic components were identified such as ${\alpha}$-pinene, camphene, ${\beta}$-pinene, 1.8-cineole, verbenone and borneol. Major components of rosemary EO were different according to countries. Essential oil from France had good quality. Essential oil cultivated and extracted in South Korea had more content than the collected essential oil in components of ${\alpha}$-pinene and camphene. Only 16% of the total 31 unit samples satisfied the content of 9 ingredients presented by ISO. The quality of EDA was shown as 4.8-96.0%, remarkable differences per specimen. A total of 31 units, only 13% of EO showed more than 60% antioxidant activity. Difference of antioxidant activity did not correspond with specific component. Essential oil from Swiss had high antioxidant activity.

Purposes: This experimental study was designed to verify the effect of inhalation of essential oils on body weight, feed intake, food efficiency rate and serum leptin. Methods: The subjects of this study were 90 growing SD rats(46 males and 44 females). They were allocated into one of four groups, the Fennel group, Patchouli group, Bergamot group and control group. The experimental treatment was the inhalation of aromatherapy essential oils which was applied two times a day for 10 minutes each during 8 weeks. To evaluate the effects, body weight, feed intake, food efficiency rate and serum leptin were measured before and after the treatment. The collected data was analyzed by repeated measures of Kolmogorov-smirnov test and Normal Q-Q plot for nomality, Kruskal Wallis test and $X^2-test$ for experimental effects with the SPSS program. Results: The food efficiency rate was significantly lower in the Patchouli group and Fennel group than in the Bergamot group and control group(P=.000). No significant group effects were found for SD rat's body weight, feeding amount and serum leptin. Conclusion: In conclusion, these findings indicate that the inhalation of essential oils could be effective in lowering the food efficiency rate rather than the feed intake.
