Phenolic acids are regarded as harmful materials in food and environment science. But recently, regarded as useful materials by their characteristics which bind metal ions and have pharmaceutical effect. It was necessary to remove or recover phenolic acids from solutIon containing phenolic acids. Continuous fixed-bed adsorption was adapted in order to separate phenolic acids from diluted solution and the breakthrough curve was predicted by nonlinear curve fitting method. The larger bed length showed the longer breakpoint time and the slow mass transfer coefficient. Ferulic acid among the phenolic acids was passed through the breakpoint first and the second and. third were p-coumaric acid and gallic acid. These orders were caused by not only ionic strength between adsrobent and adsorbate but also molecular weights.

Antimicrobial activities of pyroligneous liquor were investigated by determining Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). The solvent extracts of pyroligneous liquor, which were extracted by using solvents with different polarities such as hexane, ethylacetate, or butanol. The activities were examined by disc diffusion method using MIC against 7 food poisoning microbe type strains. Antimicrobial activities were shown in hexane, ethylacetate, butanol, and aqueous fractions of pyroligneous liquor. Among the four fractions, ethylacetate fraction showed the highest inhibitory effect on the microorganism such as Shigella sonnei, and Yersinia enterocolitica at the concentration of 2.0 mg/disc. The purified P-1 and P-2 fractions isolated by silica gel column chromatography from ethylacetate fraction of pyroligneous liquor had the highest antimicrobial activity. The total phenolic compounds content in ethylacetate, hexane, butanol, and aqueous fraction was 488.3 mg/g, 403.8 mg/g, 83.6mg/g, and 74.5 mg/g, respectively. Taken together, these results suggest that the ethyl acetate fraction could be suitable for the development of isolation and identification of antimicrobial compound from pyroligneous liquor, resulting from the above antimicrobial activity.

Inhibitory substance in the water extracts from lilac(Syringa vulgaris) leaves was determined in terms of the allelopathic chemicals. The water extracts from S. vulgaris leaves inhibited the germination and root growth of Digitaria sanguinalis and L. sativa, indicating that a biological substances are presented in the lilac leaves. The phenolic acids were separated and tentatively identified from S. vulgaris leaves by gas chromatography and there were composed of higher contents of p-coumaric acid, salicylic acid, pyrogallol, and catechol. Polyphenolic compounds such as rutin (5.3%), scopoletin (3.3%), kaempferol (2.9%), and other polyphenolic compotmds were detected from lilac leaves. The mixtures of $10^{-6}M$ of pyrogallol with all the concentrations of catechol had high inhibition of the shoot growth on D. sanguinalis and E. crus-galli regardless of the catechol concentrations.

은행나무 추출물의 생리활성에 대한 실험결과, 그 추출물이 GAG release에 의한 IL-1의 억제효과(87%)를 나타냄을 관찰하였다. 그 추출물을 chromatography로 분리한후 분광학적 분석을 이용하여 그 함유물질들이 anarchardic acid 및 그와 유사한 페놀성 물질임을 밝혔다. 각 성분에 대하여 활성효과를 다시 실험한 결과, 주성분인 IIIb와 IIIc는 활성효과를 보이지 않았으며, 단지, 소량물질인 Va와 Vb만이 중간 정도의 효과(각각 43과 55%)를 나타내었다. 이 결과에 의하면, 은행나무의 추출성분이 IL-1의 억제효과를 분명히 나타내나, 그 효과가 주성분에 기인하는 것이 아님을 보여 주었다.

본 연구는 옻(Rhus verniciflua)에 대한 국산 미생물 발효차 폴리 페놀물질 인 theaflavin(TF)과 thearubigin(TR)의 항알레르기 효과를 조사하였다. HPLC, column chromatography 및 TLC로 이용하여, 한국 원주산, 일본산 및 중국산 락커(lacquer)로부터 아주 강한 알레르기를 유발하는 long chain alkylphenol을 함유하는 crude urushiol 성분을 분리하였다. 고분자 이중 및 삼중불포화물질의 함량은 중국산 라커의 crude urushiol에 가장 많이 포함되어 있었다. 중국산 라커의 crude urushiol에서 유발되는 접촉성 알레르기 피부염 발생은 5%농도에서 한국산이나 일본산 라커의 시료보다 높았으며, TF 및 TR를 처리한 모든 농도에서 접촉성 알레르기 피부염의 유의적인 감소를 나타내었다. 이들 결과로부터 발효차의 폴리페놀성 TF와 TR은 옻의 접촉성 피부염에 대한 유의적인 항알레르기 효과를 나타내었다.

Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been effectively applied for environmental remediation due to its ability to reduce various toxic compounds. However, quantification of nZVI reactivity has not yet been standardized. Here, we adapted colorimetric assays for determining reductive activity of nZVIs. A modified indophenol method was suggested to determine reducing activity of nZVI. The method was originally developed to determine aqueous ammonia concentration, but it was further modified to quantify phenol and aniline. The assay focused on analysis of reduction products rather than its mother compounds, which gave more accurate quantification of reductive activity. The suggested color assay showed superior selectivity toward reduction products, phenol or aniline, in the presence of mother compounds, 4-chlorophenol or nitrobenzene. Reaction conditions, such as reagent concentration and reaction time, were optimized to maximize sensitivity. Additionally, pretreatment step using $Na_2CO_3$ was suggested to eliminate the interference of residual iron ions. Monometallic nZVI and bimetallic Ni/Fe were investigated with the reaction. The substrates showed graduated reactivity, and thus, reduction potency and kinetics of different materials and reaction mechanism was distinguished. The colorimetric assay based on modified indophenol reaction can be promises to be a useful and simple tool in various nZVI related research topics.

The total polyphenol and physiological activities of Pleurotus ostreatus 30% fermented ethanol using different drying methods and extraction periods were investigated. Based on the observed polyphenol content and physiological activity, freeze-drying showed better results than hot air-drying method for P. ostreatus extracted with 30% fermented ethanol for more than 15 days. The total phenolic compound content of 'Gosol' following thefreeze-drying method for 15 days showed the highest value of $0.49{\pm}0.02mg/mL$. Freeze-drying with extraction for 30 days for ASI 2344 showed the highest antioxidant activity based on the DPPH radical scavenging rate of $35.50{\pm}3.29%$. Freeze-drying 'Gosol' for 30 days resulted inthe highest anti-inflammatory and nitrite scavenging activity of $48.40{\pm}3.38%$. Our results showed that P. ostreatus is a functional food.

In softwood vinegar the phenolic compounds derieved from lignin and extractives are vanillin, guaiacol, 3-methylphenol, acetoguaiacone, 1,2-benzenediol, ethylguaiacol, pyrocatechol. The compound derived from carbohydrates is 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one. The isolated compounds are the most in the phenolic fraction, and in the vinegar of Pinus koraiensis. In hardwood vingar 2-methoxyphenol, 2,6-djmethoxyphenol, 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) -ethanone, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzylalcohol, 1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy-phenyl)-ethanone are the compounds derived from lignin and extractives. 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2,4-cyclopen-1-one, methyl-4-t-butyl-2-furoate are the major compounds derived from the decomposition of carbohydrates. Many different kinds of compounds are analized in the neutral, phenolic and acidic fraction of hardwood vinegar The amount and kinds of compounds in hardwood vinegar are more higher than those of softwood than in softwood.

어류의 성 성숙중의 암컷 혈액에는 수컷에서는 출현하지 않는 암컷 특이 난황 단백질, 즉 난황 전구 물질 (vitellogenin, VTG)이 출현한다. 이 물질은 자성호르몬 (17$\beta$-estradiol, E2)의 영향에 의해 간에서 합성되며 발달중인 난소에 들어간 후 난모세포의 난황물질을 구축하고, 수정 후 배 발생 중에 영양물질로써 이용된다(Wallace and Selman,1981). 또한, VTG는 미성숙한 암컷 및 수컷에 E2처리에 의해 합성되어지기도 한다(Mommsen and Walsh, 1988). (중략)
