In this study, a wide range of volatile organic constituents of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) were determined using an environmental chamber, where ETS is the sole source of target compounds. ETS was generated in an environmental chamber by a number of different cigarettes, including the Kentucky reference cigarette and eight different commercial brands. More than 30 compounds were measured simultaneously for a total of twelve experimental runs. The target compounds are classified into three major classes, i.e. vapor phase ETS markers including 3-ethnylpyridine (3-EP) and nicotine, carbonyl compounds including formaldehyde, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The results from the chamber study were used to generate characterized ratios of selected VOCs to 3-EP, a vapor phase ETS marker. Emission factors for VOCs associated with ETS were also estimated. The characteristic ratios appeared to be generally in good agreement with published data obtained by environmental chamber studies similar to this study. This implies that the ratios may be useful for identifying and quantifying the impact of ETS as a source of target compounds in 'real world' indoor environments, which is affected by a complex mixture of multi-sources. The environmental chamber method described here provides a direct and reliable method to compare the ETS generated by different cigarettes. The method can also be applied to the simultaneous determination of many different ETS components.

Free and glycosidically bound volatiles from three green tobacco leaves(NC 82, KF 109 and Br-21) were separated by nonionic resin Amberlite XAD-2 adsorption column chromatography and election by selective solvents. Aglycones from the glycosidically bound fractions were released by enzymatic hydrolysis with almond B-glucosidase. A total of 20 components identified from free and glycosidically bound fractions, the major components were benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, 2-phenylethyl alcohol, 3-oxo- -ionol, 3-hydroxy-B-ionone, 3-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-n-ionol and scopoletin. Six Cl.B norisoprenoids identified in this study, which have been described to possess a characteristic tobacco aroma-enhancing effect, were not presented in free forms but rather bound glycosidic forms.

Flavor characteristics of raw Cordyceps militaris significatntly different from those of dried one. In the case of raw Cordyceps militaris , major flavor components were composed of 5 alcohols, 3 ketones, 4 phenols, 9 alkanes , and 3 alkenes. The major alcohol was 1-octen-3-ol(22.56%, 1147.3% ng/ml), which contributed to the characteristic green flavor. Ketones (3-ocatone, inparticular )were present in the highest concentration in raw Cordyceps militaris . In contrast, major flavor components of dried Cordyceps militaris were composed of 4 alcohols, 4 ketones, 3 furans, 4 pyrizines, 2 dithiazines, 5 phenols , 8alkenes , 17 alkanes, and 8 fatty acids. Dried Cordyceps militaris had unique sweet aroma of sesame as wella s a milky flavor. Green or fruit flavor were rarely detected . In alkanes , 10 cosanes, component fo wax were present. Typical flavor components of alkanes such as $\beta$-caryophyllen and Δ-cadinene were also detected. Fatty acids of dried Cordyceps militaris ranged from myristic acid (14 :0) to linoleic acid (18 ; 2). The sweet aroma of dried Cordyceps militaris was mostly due to pryazines, dithaiazines, and furans. Two dithaizines were identified and characteristics of these flavor components was a roasted bacon flavor. Strong antibacterial acitivity was observed toward Vibrio spp. such as V. vulnificus, V.cholerae, V. parahaemlyticus. Relatively high antibacterial acitivity was shown toward Bacillus subtilis , B,cereus, Staphyllococcus aureus, and Corynebacterium xerosis.

Donkey in China is well known for its draft purpose and transportation; however, donkey meat has attracted more and more consumers in recent years, yet it lacks sufficient information on its flavor components compared to other main meats. Therefore, in this study, volatile flavor compounds in neck meat of donkey, swine, bovine, and sheep were classified by electronic nose, then confirmed and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography were used to quantify free fatty acid, amino acid, and flavor nucleotide. A total of 73 volatile compounds were identified, and aldehydes were identified as the characteristic flavor compounds in neck meat of donkey, bovine, swine and sheep in proportion of 76.39%, 46.62%, 31.64%, and 35.83%, respectively. Particularly, hexanal was the most abundant volatile flavor. Compared with other neck meat, much higher unsaturated free fatty acids were present in donkeys. Furthermore, neck meat of donkeys showed essential amino acid with highest content. Thus, special flavor and nutrition in donkey neck meat make it probably a candidate for consumers in other regions besides Asia.

By modified method yellow corvenia(called $Y_3$) was prepared with $4\%$ salt, $4\%$ KCl, $6\%$ sorbitol, $0.5\%$ lactic acid and $4\%$ alcohol extract of red pepper to improve the quality of fermented sea food. In this study, changes of volatile compounds and fatty acid composition obtained from modified fermented yellow corvenia($Y_3$) were experimented during fermentation, comparing with conventional fermented yellow corvenia(called $Y_1,\;20\%$ of salt contents). Total lipid of yellow corvenia was composed of $78.1\%$ of neutral lipid, $21.2\%$ of phospholipid and $0.7\%$ of glycolipid. And monoeonoic acid was held $37.4\%$ of fatty acid composition of total lipid and saturated fatty acid ($34.8\%$), polyenoic acid ($27.7\%$) were followed. Saturated fatty acid($C_{14:0},\;C_{16:0},\;C_{18:0}$) in $Y_1,\;Y_3$ increased, polyenoic acid ($C_{22:6}\;C_{22:5}\;C_{20:5}$) decreased while monoenoic acid($C_{16:1}\;C_{18:1}$) in those was little fluctuated during fermentation. Thirty-three kinds of volatile component in whole volatile compounds obtained from $Y_1,\;Y_3$ at 90 days fermentation were identified, and composed of some hydrocarbons (8 kinds), alcohols (7 kinds), acids (6 kinds), aldehydes(4 kinds), sulfides(2 kinds), ketones (2 kinds), one of phenol and 3 kinds of the other components. Among the whole volatile compounds 2-ethoxy ethanol and was held $79.35\%$ in $Y_3$, whereas nonadecane was held $75.85\%$ in $Y_1$. During fermentation 8 kinds of volatile acids, 5 kinds of amines and 9 kinds of carbonyl compounds were also detected. Those volatile acid such as acetic acid, isovaleric acid, n-caproic acid, n-butyric acid were the major portion of total volatile acids in $Y_3$ at 90 days fermentation. Meanwhile, carbonyl compounds such as ethanal, 2-butanone and butanal were the major ones, while TMA held the most part of volatile amines in $Y_3$ during fermentation. From the result of sniff test, the components which are believed to contribute to the characteristic flavor of fermented product $Y_1,\;Y_3$ are deduced to be volatile acid, carbonyl compounds and amines in order. Conclusively, there was little difference in composition of volatile components, but merely a little difference in content of those between $Y_3$ and $Y_1$.

We identified volatile organic compounds in Korean Allium species. Volatile organic components in three Korean Allium species, dried garlic, dried onion, and dried Welsh onion, were extracted using a simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE) method and identified by GC/MS analysis. The numbers of volatile compounds were 48, 32, and 33 in the three species, respectively. In dried onion, the major compounds were dipropyl trisulfide, methyl propyl trisulfide, and propanethiol. (Z), (E)-propenyl propyl trisulfide, methyl propyl trisulfide, and dipropyl trisulfide were detected at high levels in Welsh onion. In dried garlic, presence of the allyl group identified characteristic volatile organosulfur compounds including diallyl disulfide and diallyl trisulfide. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of volatile compounds in three Korean Allium species showed that sulfur-containing compounds were dominant, and allyl groups derived from (+)-S-(2-propenyl)-L-cysteine sulfoxide (ALLYL CSO, alliin) were more abundant in dried garlic, than in other materials.

In this work, the effect of torrefaction on the basic characteristic of sewage sludge was studied to evaluate the energy potential as a solid fuel. Torrefaction experiments were performed at temperatures of $150{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. The torrefied sewage sludge was characterized by the energy yield, ash content, volatile fraction and high heating value (HHV). The gaseous products from torrefaction of the sewage sludge were also analyzed. Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out for the kinetic analysis of sewage sludge torrefaction. From this work, it was found that the ash content increased with an increase of the torrefaction temperature while the energy yield, HHV and volatile fraction decreased. It was also found that the emission of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon gases started at $300^{\circ}C$ by the thermal degradation of volatile components in the sewage sludge.
