The essential oil was extracted from the roots of Angelica dahurica Bentham et Hooker f. by steam distillation and its composition was analyzed by GC-MS. The antifungal activities were evaluated by micro-dilution method against five Aspergillus and three Trichophyton species. The most abundant component was ${\alpha}$-pinene (17.21%) among 40 compounds identified in this oil. The essential oil fraction of A. dahurica and ${\alpha}$-pinene exhibited marked inhibiting activities against the tested Aspergillus and Trichophyton species with MICs (minimum inhibitory concentrations) between 0.12 mg/ml and 8 mg/ml.

티트리 에센셜 오일은 호주 원주민들의 전통적인 피부 소독제나 치료제로 널리 사용되어 왔으며, 항균효과와 주요성분 등 많은 보고가 있으나 추출 방법이나 사용 부위 등에 따라 효능의 차이를 보인다. 본 연구에서는 아로마테라피 등에 현재 많이 이용되고 있는 시판 티트리 오일의 성분과 효능을 평가하여, 다른 에센셜 오일과의 비교 이용을 용이하게 하고자 하였다. 티트리 오일의 주요성분은 GC-MS 분석에 의하여 ${\beta}$-terpinene (20.87%), ${\alpha}$-pinene (17.60%), p-cymene (11.23%), 3-carene (10.40%), trans-anethole (8.47%), limonene (4.65%)으로 밝혀졌으며, 5% 이하의 농도에서 3시간 미만까지는 피부세포에 독성이 없었다. 오일의 라디컬 소거능을 알아본 결과, DPPH와 ABTS의 양라디컬에 대하여 강한 소거능을 나타내어 강한 항산화능을 시사했다. 또한, 오일의 direct contact와 vapor-phase의 항균활성을 disc diffusion법으로 스크리닝 한 결과, direct contact 활성의 경우 그람음성균에 대하여 높은 활성을 나타내었으며, vapor는 S. aureus에 대하여 강한 효과를 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 실제 많이 사용되는 티트리 오일의 성분과 생물활성을 측정함으로써 허브 오일들의 정확한 선택과 활용을 위한 기본적인 결과를 얻었다.

A number of essential oils from Mongolian aromatic plants are claimed to have antimicrobial activities. The essential oil of Dracocephalum foetidum, a popular essential oil used in Mongolian traditional medicine, was examined for its antimicrobial activity. Eight human pathogenic microorganisms including B. subtilis, S. aureus, M. lutens, E. hirae, S. mutans, E. coli, C. albicans, and S. cerevisiae were examined. The essential oil of Dracocephalum foetidum exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against most of the pathogenic bacteria and yeast strains that were tested; by both the agar diffusion method and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay ($MIC\;range\;was\;26-2592{\mu}g/ml$). Interestingly, Dracocephalum foetidum even showed antimicrobial activity against methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. We also analyzed the chemical composition of the oil by GC-MS and identified several major components, including n-Mentha-1,8-dien-10-al, limonene, geranial, and neral.

This study was performed to investigate the influence of curing conditions on the composition of essential oil during curing process of burley tobacco leaves. The curing conditions were the primed curing in vinyl house (house-curing), air-curing barn (air-curing) and stalk-curing in conventional curing house (stalk-curing). Total 90 compounds are identified from the steam volatile oils of harvest and cured tobacco leaves by GC and GC-MS, respectively. The major components were neophytadiene, hexadecanoic acid, 3,8,13-duvatriene-1,5-diols, oxide-9-methylene-3,13-duvadienols, solanone, megastigma-4,6,8-trien-3-ones, phenylacetaldehyde, $\beta$-phenylethyl alcohol, indole, dihydroactinidiolide and phytol. The amount of alcoholic compounds was decreased more than approximately 50% in cured leaves without regard to the curing conditions. $\beta$-Phenylethyl alcohol and 3,8,13-duvatriene-1,5-diols were decreased more in air curing and stalk curing than in house curing. The amounts of phenylacetaldehyde, solanone, $\beta$-damascone, $\beta$ -damascenone, oxysolanone and megastigma-4,6,8-trien-3-ones as ketonic compounds, dihydroactinidiolide and indole as miscellaneous compounds in air-cured and stalk-cured tobacco leaves were 2 times higher than those in house-cured leaves, while esteric and acidic compounds were not changed largely in content by curing conditions.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the chemical composition and antioxidative activity of rhizome essential oil of Kaempferia parviflora Wall. ex Baker. The essential oil extracted by hydrodistillation was chemically profiled by GC/MS analysis. The antioxidative activity was determined and evaluated spectroscopically by the 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging assays. According to the results, the major essential oil components were camphene (18.03%), β-pinene (14.25%), a-pinene (12.38%), endo-borneol (10.23%), β-copaene (8.38%), and linalool (8.20%). K. parviflora rhizome oil possessed antioxidant potential, exhibiting DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities as high as 80.90 and 94.04%, respectively, at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. The corresponding IC₅₀ values were 0.451±0.051 and 0.527±0.022 mg/mL, respectively (IC₅₀ values for ascorbic acid, as the standard, were 0.209±0.016 and 0.245±0.022 mg/mL, respectively). The mycelium of F. oxysporum was distorted and collapsed when treated with 0.5 mg/mL of the EO of K. parviflora rhizome for 3 days treatment, which may provide an important information for exploring the metabolism of the fungicide K. parviflora rhizome and its derived compounds against F. oxysporum. This study provides the chemical properties of the essential oil of K. parviflora rhizome grown in Vietnam and their potential antioxidant and antifungal activities.

This study was conducted to investigate the composition of flavor components of Elsholtzia ciliata and Eisholtzia splendens in order to obtain basic informations for the application of tobacco and food industry. Flavor components extracted were divided into three fractions ; essential oil, absolute and oleoresin from E. ciliata and E. splendens. Essential oil was extracted by simultaneous steam distillation(SDE), absolute and oleoresin were extracted by $100\%$ n-hexane and $50\%$ ethanol, respectively. Yields of the essential oil, absolute and oleoresin fractions from E. ciliata were $0.34\%,\;11.34\%\;and\;15.24\%,$ and those from E. splendends were $0.28\%,\;12.45\%\;and\;9.95\%$, respectively. The major components of essential oil of E. ciliata were naginata ketone$(29.37\%)$, elsholtzia ketone$(14.37\%)$ and rosefuran$(11.76\%)$. The major components of essential oil of E. splendens were 2-cyclohexen-1-one$(26.81\%)$, elsholtzia ketone$(13.46\%)$ and naginata ketone$(5.26\%).$ The composition of flavor components showed a slight difference between essential oils of E. ciliata and E. splendens. The major components of absolute fraction from E. ciliata were linoleic acid$(12.07\%),$ palmitic acid$(10.46\%)$ and 2-cyclohexene-1-one$(5.39\%).$ And those from E. splendens were linoleic acid$(12.38\%),$ palmitic acid$(9.47\%)$ and naginata ketone$(8.86\%).$ Ethyl linoleolate was a major component in oleoresin of E. ciliata and E. splendens.

This study was conducted to determine firstly the composition of the essential oil from fresh changpo (Acorus calamus var. angustatus Bess) roots quantitatively and qualitatively by use of two internal standards, and secondly volatile compounds which are primarily responsible for the aroma of changpo roots. Simultaneous steam distillation and extraction method was used for essential oil extraction, and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) and sniffing test by gas chromatography/olfactometry (GC/O) were used to detect the characteristic impact odorants. According to the instrumental analysis of changpo root essential oil, cis, trans-famesol (47.56 mg/kg of fresh wt), octanoic acid (23.73 mg/kg of fresh wt), trans-2-dodecenal (20.28 mg/kg of fresh wt) and trans, trans-farnesol (13.81 mg/kg of fresh wt) were the most abundant compounds. Geranyl acetate, trans-nerolidol and trans, trans-farnesyl acetate were evaluated as the characteristic impact odorants of changpo roots from results of AEDA and sniffing test. Especially, geranyl acetate was considered as the most similar odor component to changpo roots by organoleptic evaluation with GC/O.

This paper was investigated to clarify the possibility of ammonia-gas removal by essential oil. First of all, the chemical analysis was performed to analyze the composition of an essential oil by GC-MS. The monoterpenes in an essential oil react with ammonia by neutralization and their reaction mechanism was elucidated. Based on their chemical neutralized reaction, the removal efficiencies of ammonia gas were studied to derive the optimal conditions in the scrubber tower such as optimal temperature and pH. The experimental result shows that the removal efficiency of ammonia gas was achieved over 80 % by the misty aerosol dispersion of scrubber tower.
