In this study, the efficacy of water lily(Nymphaea tetragona) leaves as a new natural dye resource was investigated. For this purpose, the colorants from water lily leaves were extracted in methanol, evaporated, and powdered. Dyeing onto cotton fiber was carried out to study the effects of dyeing conditions, mordant type and mordanting method on dye uptake, color change, and colorfastness. FTIR analysis supported that hydrolyzable tannins and chrolophyll were contained in the extracted colorants. The colorants showed good affinity to cotton fiber showing Y Munsell color. Pre-mordanting method gave better results in terms of dye uptake than post-mordanting method. By mordanting, dyed fabrics exhibited various colors such as green, khaki, brownish yellow, dark brown, dark gray and so on. Colorfastness to washing and rubbing was relatively good showing 4-5 rating. The light fastness was improved 1-2 rating by Fe mordanting. The dyed cotton fabric showed antimicrobial activity.

As the substitute of synthetic coloring materials for hair dyeing, we selected some natural ones of three primary colors such as sappan wood, logwood(red), gardenia blue(blue) and amur cork tree(yellow). Mixed colorants and metallic mordanting technique were used to widen the color space of dyed samples. In view of similarity in morphological and chemical structure, wool was adopted as the reference material for human hair to evaluate the color properties of hair dyeing. The color properties of the dyed samples were evaluated by using CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ and Munsell color systems. The addition of an alum or ferrous mordants was effective to expand the color space of hair and to increase the colorfastness to washing and light more than the rating of 1. Displaying the dyed samples by using Munsell color system, better linearity of hue values between the dyed samples of wool and human hair was shown when alum mordant was used.

In order to investigate the protein binding characteristics of braD6n and hematoxy6n to bovine semm albumin (BSA), the fluorescence probe method was adopted. Brazilin and hematoxy6n showed strong binding affinity for BSA. It was also confirmed that hematoxy6n was bound to BSA stronger than braDlin. The association constants were decreased by the elevation of concentrations of brazilin and hematoxylin. It might be due to the complex formation of the probe and both compounds or the interaction between the probe-protein complex and both compounds. The bindings between both compounds and BSA were dependent on pH and ionic strength. It seems that electrostatic force as weD as hydrophobic force is involved in the binding of braD6n and bematoxylin to BSA.

During the screening for inhibitors of melanin biosynthesis from plant extract, Angelica polymorpha MAXIM which showed a high level of inhibition was selected. The inhibiting substances were purified form methanol extract of Angelica polymorpha MAXIM followed by silica gel column chromatography and HPLC. The inhibitors were identified as heraclenin, isosaxalin and heraclenol 3'-Me ether, by spectrescopic methods of ESI-MS, H-NMR, C-NMR, DEPT, HMQC and HMBC. These compounds did not have mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity, but showed a highly potent melanin biosynthesis inhibition zone in the plate culture of Streptomyces bikiniensis, a bacterium used as an indicator organism in this work. These compounds did not show any growth inhibition against S. bikiniensis at the same concentration of melanin biosynthesis test.

The sensory characteristics of bread prepared with the addition of Angelica plant(Bakluncho) and Jujube(Daechu) powders were investigated The moisture, crude protein, as reducing sugar and vitamin C content of Angelica plant(Bakluncho) powders were 7.78%, 6.07%, 7.37%, 6.13% and 50.10 mg% respectively, and those of Jujube(Daechu) powders were 11.19%, 4.43%, 2.36%, 14.23% and 49.20 mg% respectively. Lightness value decreased but redness and yellowness values increased with increasing natural pigment powders content. The mechanical hardness of the bread decreased with the addition of 3% Angelica plant(Bakluncho) powders, but increased with the addition of 1% and 5% Angelica plant(Bakluncho) powders. The mechanical hardness of bread decreased with the addition of 1% and 3% Jujube(Daechu) powders, but increased with the addition of 5% Jujube(Daechu) powders. In sensory characteristics, the crust color, mb color, moistness and springiness decreased, but aroma and hardness increased with the increasing natural pigment powders content. The savory taste and overall quality of breads with 1% Angelica plant(Bakluncho) powders and 3% Jujube(Daechu) powders were higher than those of the control without my addition. A negative correlation was observed between Hunter's color value and overall quality of the bread prepared with addition of Angelica plant(Bakluncho) and Jujube(Daechu) powders.

Ultraviolet(UV) radiation causes a variety of biological effects on the skin, including inflammation, pigmentation, photoaging and cancer. Free radicals are involved in inflammatory skin reactions induced by UVB radiation. In this study, we investigated the effects of antioxidants(Tea, Korean red ginseng, Ginkgo biloba extract) on UVB-induced skin damage. Tea, KRG and EGb 761 were topically treated to dorsal skin of ICR mouse. The mice were also treated soon after IMED ($1.4KJ/m^{2}$) of UVB irradiation. Skin pigmentation of irradiated mouse was observed by a chromameter after 2 weeks. Topical application of Tea, KRG and EGb 761 for 2 weeks decreased skin pigmentation compared to DVB control group(p<.05). Tea, KRG and EGb 761 also reduced UVB-induced infiltration of inflammatory cells. These results showed that Tea, KRG and EGb 761 as a topical application may have preventive effect against UVB-induced skin damage.

The aim of this study is to develope eco-printing method using natural pigments and chitosan as a natural binder. Three chitosans with different molecular weights were employed to find appropriate conditions including chitosan concentration and pigment/binder ratio. Dye uptake, color and fastnesses of the printed fabrics were evaluated to find optimum conditions within the range of experiments carried out in this study. The effectiveness of chitosan as a printing binder was examined in comparison with color, dye uptake, and fastnesses of conventional synthetic binder and guar gum. It was found that chitosans with low or medium molecular weight were appropriate. Using low molecular weight chitosan, optimum concentrations were 1.7% for charcoal, madder and chlorophyll, whereas 2.2% for ocher, yellow soil, indigo and cochineal. Regardless of molecular weight and concentration of chitosan, the color fastnesess of fabrics printed with mineral pigments were superior to those of the fabrics printed with plant and animal pigments. As pigment/chitosan ratio became higher, rubbing fastness was decreased by 1-3 grade. The colorfastness of printed fabric with chitosan binder was similar to that with synthetic binder, which was higher than that with guar gum.
