Flavor constituents of green tea flower produced in Korea were analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. 56 compounds in sample were separated and indentified as 22 hydrocarbons, 14 alcohols, 6 aldehydes, 5 esters, and 9 others. Higher concentrated substances were heneicosyl formate, ${\alpha}$-phenyl ethyl alcohol, and acetophenone. Germacrene D as a sesquiterpene were also identified.

Semiempirical MO calculations using the PM3 method are performed on the reactions of acetate esters with substituted phenolate anions. The mechanistic change from rate-limiting formation to breakdown of the anionic intermediate is shown to occur in the gas-phase, especially for meta-nitrophenyl acetate. However the mechanistic change-over takes place at a lower basicity ($pK_0$) of the anion nucleophile than found for the corresponding formate. This lowering of $pK_0$ has been ascribed to the electron donating effect of the methyl group in the acetate. For the reactions involving rate-limiting breakdown of the intermediate, the large Bronsted coefficients, ${\beta}_X({\beta}_{nuc})$, are expected in general, but the magnitude increases to a larger value and the pK0 is lowered accordingly, when an electron-donating nonleaving group, like $CH_3$, is present. This type of nonleaving group effect provides a necessary condition for the carbonyl addition-elimination mechanism with rate-limiting breakdown of the intermediate.

This study was performed to analyze the volatile flavor compounds of Eucommia ulmoides leaves as influenced by harvesting time and drying method. Essential oils of fresh, air-dried and freeze-dried leaves of Eucommia ulmoides were extracted by SDE(simultaneous steam distillation and extraction) method using pentane and diethyl ether(1:1), and their volatile flavor compounds were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Total 51 components, including 10 hydrocarbons, 15 alcohols, 12 aldehydes, 4 ketones, 4 esters and 6 acids were identified in fresh Eucommia ulmoides harvested in July. In fresh samples harvested in September, 15 hydrocarbons, 10 alcohols, 5 aldehydes, 4 ketones, 4 esters and 3 acids were identified. In fresh Eucommia ulmoides, aldehydes(8.25ppm) were the most abundant compounds in July samples and alcohols(18.87ppm) in September ones. Seventy one components, including 21 hydrocarbons, 12 alcohols, 12 aldehydes, 9 ketones, 5 esters, 8 acids and 4 miscellaneous ones were identified in air-dried samples harvested in July. In air-dried samples harvested in September, 10 hydrocarbons, 9 alcohols, 3 aldehydes, 3 ketones, 4 esters, 4 acids and 1 miscellaneous one were identified, and the most abundant compounds in July and September samples were hydrocarbons at 5.06ppm and 15.11ppm, respectively. A total of 41 components, including 13 hydrocarbons, 9 alcohols, 5 aldehydes, 3 ketones, 6 esters and 5 acids were identified in freeze-dried samples harvested in July. Freeze-dried samples harvested in August also contained 41 components but with different types, and the ones of September 26 compounds. In freeze-dried ones, hydrocarbons were the most abundant compounds in July sample and esters in August and September samples.

Acetic acid producing bacteria were isolated from deastringent persimmon vinegar and the major bacterium was identified using morphological and biochemical tests. Acetobacter sp. AH-1 was motile, gram negative rod with catalase positive and oxidase negative. The strain can grow up to 5 % ethanol and 2% NaCl as well as 25% glucose. Optimum temperature and pH for growth were 3$0^{\circ}C$ and 5.0, respectively. Volatile constituents of persimmon vinegar were analyzed by purge and trap sampling . Acetic acid adn alcohol were the largest volatile compounds quantitiatively in persimmon vinegar. Among alcohols, 20methyl-1-propanol, isoamyl alcohol and amyl alcohol were detected. Isovaleradehyde and benzaldehyde for aldehyde, isoamyl acteate, ethyl formate, propyl aceetate, and ethyl acetate for esters were likely to contribute to persimmon vivegar flavor.

Volatile flavor components (VFCs) in cooked black rices (Suwon-415 and Chindo) were studied. The major reactions during cooking, which result in aroma volatiles, are the Maillard reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars, and thermal degradation of lipid. Black rices washed with water were soaked in 1.5 folds water and heated at $110^{\circ}C$ in oil bath for 30min. VFCs in cooked black rices were extracted for three hours by SDE and were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. A total of 91, 82 volatiles were identified in Suwon-415 and Chindo black rice, respectively. Suwon-415 was composed of 26 alcohols, 10 aldehydes, 5 acids, 11 esters, 15 ketones, 9 hydrocarbons, 3 furans, 3 nitrogen containing compounds and 9 sulfur containing compounds. Chindo was composed of 28 alcohols, 9 aldehydes, 4 acids, 12 esters, 14 ketones, 5 hydrocarbons, 3 furans, 3 nitrogen containing compounds and 4 sulfur containing compounds.

Volatile flavor compounds in Alaska pollack sik-hae during fermentation at 5$^{\circ}C$ were analyzed by liquid-liquid continuous extraction (LLCE) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) methods. Sixty five volatile compounds were detected in Alaska pollack sik-hae during fermentation. These compounds were composed mainly of 11 S-containing compounds, 13 alcohols, 13 acids, 4 aldehydes, 4 ketones, 6 terpenes,4 aromatic compounds and 10 miscellaneous compounds. Among these, 9 S-containing compounds (3-(methylthio)-1-propene, dimethyl disulfide, diallyl sulfide, methylallyl disulfide, methyl-(E) -propenyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, 2 diallyl disulfide isomers and diallyl trisulfide), 2 acids (acetic acid and butanoic acid), 2 ketones (2, 3-butanedione and 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one) and 2 esters (ethyl formate and ethyl acetate) were significantly increased during fermentation (p<0.05), and these compounds were suspected to affect on the odor of Alaska pollack sik-hae.

In this study, we examined the volatile flavor components in the mashes of takju prepared using different yeasts such as Saccharomyces coreanus, S. ellipsoideus, S. carlsbergensis, S. cerevisiae (Baker's yeast), and S, rouxii by GC and GC-MS. Fourteen alcohols, 13 esters, 5 acids, 3 aldehydes, 7 amines, and 2 other compounds were identified in the mash after 6 days of fermentation. On day 6, the takju fermented by S. coreanus had the greatest variety of volatile flavor components. Fifteen flavor components, including ethanol, isobutyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, methyl pentanol, 1,3-butanediol, 3-methylthio-1-propanol, benzeneethanol, ethyl lactate, acetic acid, acetaldehyde, and 1,3-cyclohexane diamine, were typically detected in all the treatments. The relative peak areas of the volatile components were as follows: alcohols (96.758-99.387%), esters (0.081-0.968%), acids (0.040-0.640%), aldehydes (0.266-0.959%), and amines (0.011-0.047%). In particular, 1-propanol, isobutyl alcohol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2,3-butanediol, trimethyl benzylalcohol, heptene-2,4-diol, ethyl lactate, diethyl succinate, ethyl nonanoate, methyl hexadecanoate, linoleic acid, hexadecanoic acid, and acetaldehyde were hish in the takju made by S. coreanus. Also, ethyl stearate was high in the takju made by S. carlsbergensis, and hexanoic acid was high in the takju made by S. cerevisiae. Finally, methyl pentanol, 1,3-butanediol, 3-methylthio-1-propanol, benzene ethanol, ethyl octadecanoate, acetic acid, pentanal, and 1,3-cyclohexane diamine were high in the takju made by S. rouxii.
