Kinchi is and important source of various vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, organic acids and other nutrients. In order to get a basic information for developing vitamins-rich funtional kimchi, we investigated microorganisms which are capable of synthesis of vitamin C in Kimchi system. Microorganisms isolated from aliquots of kimchi were screened and cultured by using MRS or nutrient agar medium. L-Ascorbic acid produced by microorganism in medium was measured with high performance liquid chromatography. As the result, we isolated two bacteria strins N7 and N5202 preducing L-ascorbic acid from the kimchi system. Morphological and Gram staining experiment showed that N7 was Gram positive bacilli, while N5202 was Gram negative. There were also several bacteria that were considered to synthesizs erythorbic acid which is an analog of ascorbic acid. These results suggested that vitamin C-rich functional food could be developed by using the kimchi microorganisms.

Crude catechin extracts were prepared using ethyl acetate from Korean Puerariae Radix (PR) and their biological effects on the alcoholic liver damage were investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats (6 weeks old). Ethanol (5g ethanol/kg body weight/day) administration was performed for 8 weeks and after ethanol consuming rats were treated with one or two% catechin extracts of diet for 8 weeks. At the end of experimental period, lipid hydroperoxides in liver were analyzed using a chemiluminescence-high performance liquid chromatography (CL-HPLC) method. Compared with control animals, ethanol consumed rats showed lighter body weights, lower ratios of liver/body weight, higher activities of GOT and GPT, and increased lipid hydroperoxide amount in liver. With one or two% catechin extracts treatment, GOT and GPT activities returned to normal ranges. Lipid hydroperoxide contents in liver of on or two% PR treated rats lowered to 20% or 25% respectively, compared with the levels of those ethanol consumed animals without catechin extracts treatment. Therefore, we concluded that on or two% PR crude catechins treatment could be effective for alcoholic liver damage caused by lipid peroxidation.

An automated system was developed for the routine preparation of carbon-11 ($^11C$) labeled radiopharmaceuticals, which consisted of three major parts including [$^11C$]methylation of the precursor with [$^11C$] iodomethane ($[^11C]CH_3I)$, purification of the desired product and formulation of the final $^11C$ labeled radiopharmaceutical. The whole system included seven three-way slider valves, eleven solenoid valves, four pneumatic cylinders, a HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) system and a rotary evaporator. Using this system, we investigated the radiochemical synthesis of L-[$methyl-^11C$]methionine, which is the most widely used amino acid in tumor PET (Positron Emission Tomography) studies. The overall operation took 3035 min including the production of $[^11C]CH_3I$ (10.5 min) and decay-corrected radiochemical yield was 25%. The automated system we described herein can be widely utilized for the preparation of many $^11C$ labeled radiopharinaceuticals and has been shown to be efficient, reliable and easy to operate.

Phytochemical investigation of the sesame dregs of Sesamum indicum was conducted by open column and prep-HPLC chromatography. Two phytosterols (1 and 2) and two lignans (3 and 4) were isolated from the MeOH extracts of sesame dregs, and identified as ${\beta}$-sitosterol (1), daucosterol (2), sesamin (3), and sesamolin (4) by spectral analysis. Although these compounds were already isolated from sesame, it is important that they were still main phytochemical components in the sesame dregs.

Total phenolic content, total anthocyanin content and antioxidant activity were analyzed from rice samples collected in Korea, Japan and China. The results showed that the total phenolic content and free-radical scavenging activity differed significantly in these rice lines. The correlation between content and activity was subsequently investigated. The results showed that in black rice, anthocyanin was the major phenolic component and that both phenolic content and anthocyanin content were closely correlated with free-radical scavenging activity. Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) data showed that cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and peonidin-3-O-glucoside composed about 90% of the total anthocyanin content in black rice and in red rice. In the red rice extract, the total phenolic content produced a high correlation coefficient with antioxidant activity but correlated very poorly with the total anthocyanin content. The $OD_{458}$ and the $OD_{500}$ values which represent the proanthocyanidin content of the rice extract, produced high correlation coefficients with antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. These results suggest that the $OD_{458}$ and the $OD_{500}$ values can be used to evaluate the quality of red rice. In addition, based on the data obtained, a competitive accumulation model of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin in black and red rice was proposed.

We demonstrate a detail protocol for the radiosynthesis of an $^{125}I$-labeled MSTP prosthetic group and its application to the efficient radiolabeling of human serum albumin (HSA). Radioiodination of the precursor (2) was carried out by using $[^{125}I]$NaI and chloramine T as an oxidant at room temperature for 15 min. After HPLC purification of the crude product, the purified $^{125}I$-labeled MSTP ($[^{125}I]1$) was obtained with high radiochemical yield ($73{\pm}5%$, n = 3) and excellent radiochemical purity (>99%). Site-specific reaction between ($[^{125}I]1$) and HSA gave the $^{125}I$-labeled human serum albumin ($[^{125}I]3$) with more than 99% of radiochemical yield as determined by radio-thin-layer chromatography (radio-TLC). These results clearly demonstrate that the present radiolabeling method will be useful for the efficient and convenient radiolabeling of thiol-bearing biomolecules.
