Objectives: Samul-tang is commonly used to alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy. This study aimed to establish an efficient method of extracting ACTS002 based on Samul-tang using the yield, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and antioxidant assay. Methods: ACTS002 was extracted from each extraction solvent, and the contents of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF), paeoniflorin, and ferulic acid were quantitatively analyzed and compared using HPLC. Moreover, the antioxidant activities of ACTS002 were measured using total flavonoids, total phenolic compounds, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), and Ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP). Results: All of the components were set as the index contents because they were easy to process. The antioxidant activity of total flavonoids was the highest in 70% ethyl alcohol extracts, and total phenolic compounds were the highest in 50% ethyl alcohol extracts. In DPPH, 50% ethyl alcohol extracts showed the highest activity, and in ABTS 70% ethyl alcohol extracts were the highest. In FRAP, 70% ethyl alcohol extracts showed the highest activity. Conclusions: ACTS002 can control quality by setting 5-HMF, paeoniflorin, and ferulic acid as the index contents. The antioxidant activity measurement was relatively high in the 50% and 70% ethyl alcohol extracts. Our results can predict the possibility of a pharmacological activity and the standardization of ACTS002.

The major volatiles from Allium species were found to be sulfide compounds and the ratio of sulfide to volatiles was 66.1% in garlic, 66.1% in scallion, 62.3% in green onion, 39.2% in onion, and 4.2% in chive. Trace of cyclooctasulfur was found to be present among the volatiles. The most oviposition of 17.2% occurred at diallyl sulfide and the least of 0.8% at acetylthiophene whereas the most oviposition of 43.3% occurred at ethyl alcohol if concentration was 100%. Among the organic solvents used for dilution, ethyl alcohol received the highest 52.5% of oviposition and ether the lowest of 5.9%. Furfuryl mercaptan which is also one of the volatiles, received 46.9% of oviposition. For oviposition site, D. antiqua preferred sulfides at near 1%, ethyl alcohol at high, and other volatiles at various concentrations. At 100% concentration, most volatiles except dimethyl disulfide and ethyl alcohol received less oviposition than the control which was watered sand with no volatiles added.

This study aimed to investigate the aging of liquor brewed with fermented wine using ipguk (koji) in a jar (JA) and stainless steel container (SC), which are generally used in Korea, and to review the characteristics of the liquors as a function of aging time. The initial alcohol content was 39.8-40.9%, and gradually decreased in the JA and SC as the aging time increased. In the case of fusel alcohols, the n-propanol, isobutanol, and isoamyl alcohol contents did not increase with increasing aging time, in the cases of both JA and SC. The A/B (isoamyl alcohol/isobutyl alcohol) ratio was similar under reduced pressure (RP) and atmospheric pressure (AP), at 1.32-135. The A/P (isoamyl alcohol/n-propanol) and B/P (isobutyl alcohol/n-propanol) ratios were 2.17-2.22 and 1.62-1.68, respectively. During the early stages of distillation, under RP, the isoamyl alcohol content was the greatest, followed by isobutyl alcohol and ethyl palmitate. Under AP, the isoamyl alcohol content was the greatest followed by decanoic acid, ethyl palmitate, and isobutyl alcohol. The highest sensory score under RP, 60 cmHg, was $6.98{\pm}0.28$.

Flavour components of seven Korean folk sojues, five Chinese kaoliangchiews and Japanese shochu were determined by GC and GC-MS after solid phase extraction with polydivinyl benzene. Less volatile ethyl succinate and ethyl pelargonate were present in Korean folk sojues while volatile ethyl acetate and ethyl butyrate in Chinese kaoliangchiews. In the case of alcohols, the amount of isopentyl alcohol was relatively higher than that of isobutyl alcohol or n-propyl alcohol in Korean folk sojues. On the contrary, less volatile n-propyl alcohol was present more than isopentyl alcohol in Chinese kaoliangchiews. Multivariate statistical analyses involving principal components analysis (PCA) and discriminant analysis (DA) were applied to the GC data. The results of PCA clearly demonstrate that the first principal scores of Korean folk sojues were similar but the second principal scores were different from each other. Classification of Korean sojues and Chinese kaoliangchiews into two groups could be conducted by DA. These results suggested that the common charateristics and identities as a distilled liquors was found in Korean folk sojues.

A yeast strain producing fruity-floral aroma was isolated from soil and identified as Hansenula saturnus var. saturnus. Glucose was found to be the best carbon source and sodium nitrate or phenylalanine as nitrogen source in terms of the nature and the intensity of the aroma produced by the isolated yeast. Seventeen compounds, mainly esters and alcohols, were identified in the ether-pentane extract of the culture broth by gas chromatography and/or coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Ethyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, phenethyl alcohol and their acetate esters together with ethyl caprylate were the major compounds in the aroma concentrate. Three unusual compounds, dibutyl disulfide, 3-methyl pentanoic acid and methyl pentanoate were also tentatively identified in the culture broth of the isolated yeast.
