Shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) hold high nutritional and medicinal value as they contain an abundance of health-promoting compounds. However, the effect of long-term postharvest storage on the variation in the levels of health-promoting compounds has not been extensively studied. In this study, we investigated the changes in the levels of phenolic compounds, antioxidants, eritadenine, and ergothioneine in shiitake mushrooms stored at three different temperatures (1, 3, and 5 ℃) for 4 weeks. Compared to mushrooms stored at lower temperatures, those stored at 5 ℃ exhibited a higher level of total phenolics in their pileus after 2 weeks of storage; however, storage at 5 ℃ also increased the deterioration of the fruiting body of these mushrooms. In mushrooms stored at all temperatures, the eritadenine content in the pilei tended to increase up to 2 weeks of storage. In contrast, the ergothioneine content in the pileus decreased during storage, with a significantly lower level detected in mushrooms stored at 5 ℃ for 4 weeks. Together, these results suggest that the mechanisms underlying the accumulation of phenolics and eritadenine may be related to mushroom deterioration during storage. Our findings indicate that the levels of health-promoting compounds in shiitake mushrooms are influenced by storage temperature, suggesting the potential to control adjustments of specific bioactive compounds by regulating storage conditions.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. According to the 2018 reports, one in six people worldwide is reported to die as a result of cancer. The discovery of anticancer drugs has been utilized extensively, but there has been no report on excellent selective activity in cancer cells. The discovery of bioactive substances from marine sponges has been the limelight in the pharmaceutical field over the past decade owing to the production of many bioactive compounds from the sponges to protect themselves against the environment. On top of that, marine sponges also produced cytotoxic compounds such as terpenoids, alkaloids, steroids, and peptides which suggests that marine sponges have high potential in the development of anticancer drugs. Thus, this study aimed to obtain new cytotoxic compounds from S. siphonella in Egypt and Arenoscelra sp. and Gelliodes sp. in Vietnam, and further investigation of the extract from these marine sponges led to isolation of ten new compounds and 21 known compounds. Chapter 1 will discuss about the isolation and structure elucidation of eight new polyacetylene derivatives from S. siphonella and their cytotoxic activities. The isolation and structural elucidation of one new polybrominated iododiphenyl ether from Arenosoclea sp. as well as cytotoxic activities of the isolated compounds will be reported in chapter 2. Finally, isolation and structure elucidation of new compounds from the marine sponge Gelliodes sp. and their cytotoxic activities will be discussed in chapter 3.

Nitrogenous compounds in hydrolysate of skipjack processing by-product(SPB) was increased 6.4 times in amount comparing that of raw SPB. The major compounds in hydrolysate were anserine, histidine, leucine, hydroxyproline, arginine, phenylalanine and taurine, and composed 56.25% of total nitrogenous compounds. In fatty acid composition, the highest amount was saturated fatty acids in both samples. Polyunsaturated fatty acids such as $C_{20:5}$ and $C_{22:6}$ were increased after hydrolysis. A total of 99 volatile compounds was detected in raw and hydrolysate of SPB by vacuum simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction/gas chromatography/mass chromatorgraphy. Of these, 75 compounds were identified in raw SPB, while 72 compounds were identified in hydorlysate of SPB. There compounds were composed mainly of 28 aldehydes, 20 ketones, 19 alcohols, 5 nitrogen containing compounds, 5 aromatic hydrocarbons, 4 furans and 12 miscellaneous compounds. Levels of aldehydes and aromatic hydrocarbons decreased after hydrolysis, whereas heterocyclic compounds such as pyrazies, furans increased.

To select the irradiation-induced marker components from volatile flavor compounds in irradiated chicken, and complement the extraction problems of liquid continuous extraction (LLCE) method, the volatile compounds of irradiated (0,1,3,5 and 10 kGy) chicken were analyzed by Purge and Trap (P&T) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) methods. A total of 119 compounds were detected in irradiated chicken, and these compounds were composed mainly of 7 aldehydes,22 ketones,8 alcohols,30 esters,36 hydrocarbons,8 aromatic compounds and 8 miscellaneous compounds. Among these, only 21 compounds were detected in both LLCE and P&T methods, and the 98 other were detected in omly P&T method. Among volatile compounds detected in irradiated chicken, only 3 compounds such as hexene (r=0.96, p<0.01), propanol (r=0.93, p<0.05) and 1,3-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl) benzene (r=0.96, p<0.05) were newly selected as marker compounds in irradiated chicken by P&T method, which showed significant and high positive correlation coefficient in the change of relative concentration according to the increment of irradiation dosage.

The study was conducted to identify volatile flavor compounds in concentrated onion extracts ($Oniwell^{TM}$) during storage at $30^{\circ}C$ for 150 days. A total of 23 compounds was detected in samples by solid phase microextraction (SPME)/GC/MSD, consisting mainly of 9 sulfur-containing compounds, 5 carbonyl compounds, 4 furans, 2 aromatic compounds and 3 miscellaneous compounds. The sulfur-containing compounds were major compounds with ranges of 75.8~67.3% of total volatiles. In particular, dimethyl trisulfide, with a cooked cabbage-like odor, was 50.1~42.1% of the total amount of sulfur-containing compounds. Two compounds, dimethyl disulfide (fresh garlic/green onion-like) and methylpropyl disulfide (garlic salt-like), were significantly increased with longer storage periods (p<0.05). Four furans (furfural, 2-acetylfurn, 5-methyl-2-furfural, furfurylalcohol), known as thermally generated flavors, ranged from 14.2~12.9% of total volatiles, and the amounts of 4 aldehydes (2-, 3-methylbutanal, benzaldehyde, phenylactaldehyde) derived from lipid oxidation during heat treatment were followed in that order. Accordingly, it was estimated that these 3 groups including sulfur-containing compounds, furans and aldehydes played key roles in flavors in concentrated onion extracts ($Oniwell^{TM}$) during storage.

Many kinds of fluorescent polypyridine compounds including bpy and dppz derivatives are described in understanding the recent current of fluorescent materials having photofuctionality. Those polypyridine compounds have the photofunctionality such as the fluorescence recognition and/or photo-switching. Furthermore, those compounds are applicated for the construction of long ranged photoinduced electron/energy transfer system. Various fluorescent ${\pi}-conjugation$ systems connected by amide or imine bond as well as the simple fluorescent bpy derivatives are introduced in this review paper.

Three flavonoids (1 - 3) and three phenolic compounds (4 - 6) were isolated from the whole plant of Geranium thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc (Geraniaceae). Their structures were determined by chemical and spectral analysis. These compounds were examined for the inhibitory activity of IL-6 production in $TNF-{\alpha}$ stimulated MG-63 cell. Among the isolated compounds, gallic acid (4) and gallic acid methyl ester (6) showed potent inhibitory activity.
