To investigate ginseng oligopeptides with biological activities, the water extract was purified by ultra-filtration, gel filtration, ion-exchange and thin layer chromatography. Ultra-filtered water extract exhibited antilipolytic activity, inhibiting epinephrine-induced lipolysis in the isolated fat cells of rat epididymal adipose tissue. The filtrate was separated into 3 fractions by Sephadex G-25 gel filtration. Peptides were found only in the first fraction(S-FI). Saponine and sugars were also detected in tie fraction. S-FI fraction resolved further into 6 fractions by Dowex 50 ion-exchange chromatography. The sugar and saponine depleted fraction(P-F2) from the second chromatography showed antilipolytic activity. The P-F2 fraction revealed 6 spots on TLC. The 6 spots were isolated by TLC and identified as peptides.

As a first step toward identifying a new method for testing sea snail tissue for toxins, and thus prevent food poisoning due to the ingestion of contaminated snails, we measured the tetramine [$(CH_3)_4N^+$] contents of sea snails from the Korean coast using both liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and ion chromatography. For tetramine tested, good linearity ($r^2$ = 0.9996) was observed between the amounts in the injected samples and the peak areas of standard toxins, which ranged from 0.1 to 100 ng. The recovery (%) of tetramine from spiked tissue and mid-gut gland samples ranged from 84.0 to 95.3%. The quantitative results for tetramine using this method were in good agreement with the theoretical values. LC-MS/MS has both high sensitivity and selectivity, which makes it possible to measure trace quantities of tetramine in samples.

The enantiomeric composition tests on flurbiprofen and ketoprofen present in patch products and in urine excretions following patch applications were performed as diastereomeric (R)-(+)- 1-phenylethylamides by achiral gas chromatography and by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in selected ion monitoring mode. The method for determination of (R)- and (S)-enantiomers in the range from 0.1 to 5.0 ${\mu}$g was linear (r ${\ge}$ 0.9996) with acceptable precision (% RSD ${\le}$5.2) and accuracy (% RE = 0.6 ~ -2.4). The enantiomeric compositions of flurbiprofen in one patch product and of ketoprofen in five different products were identified to be racemic with relatively good precision (${\le}$ 6.4%). The urinary excretion level of (R)-flurbiprofen was two times higher than its antipode, while the comparable excretion levels of (R)- and (S)-enantiomers for ketoprofen were observed.

The objectives of this study were to isolate and identify ninhydrin positive substande(s) produced in the culture broth of Pseudomonas fluorescens. It was found that the NPS could stimulate bioconversion of furfural into furoic acid. In order to isolate the NPS from the culture broth, cell free filtrate was subjected to ion-exchange chromatography, gel-permeation and finally to cellulose column chromatography. The purified NPS was white amorphous power and very soluble in water, slightly soluble in methanol and very insoluble in organic solvents. UV, and IR absorption spectra. $^H$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ were measured in order to identify the chemical structure of the NPS.

IgY (Immunoglobulin Yolk) in egg yolk corresponds to IgG (Immunoglobulin G) in animal serum and plays an important role as immunological proteins in intestines. Carrageenan and Arabic gum were used as pretreatment agents to purify IgY from fresh egg yolk. DEAE (Diethylaminoethyl) Sepharose column in FPLC (Fast Protein Liquid chromatography) was an ion exchange tool to remove contaminants as well as to elute IgY from the column. GF HPLC (Gel Filtration High Performance Liquid Chromatography) enables to measure the molecular weights of IgY and to identify the purified IgY by comparing the molecular weight of standard IgY with the purified one. IgY is a heterogeneous group of different molecular weight and ionic properties, which was investigated with various IE HPLC (Ion Exchange High Performance Liquid Chromatography) columns such as AX, CX and SCX. Three peaks of IgY were separated in the AX column under the conditions of 0.5 M NaCl and pH=8. The SCX column also gave the three peaks of IgY at 0.5 M NaCl and pH=5.

Low and high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) coupled with ion chromatography (IC) has been investigated for speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI). In particular, the interference of ArC^+formed by the carbon in a sample on the simultaneous determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) has been studied. In chemical speciation, this study shows that quadrupole type ICP-MS with low resolution has a limitation of simultaneous determination fo chromium species if the sample contains the carbon elements. The interference problems can be solved by high resolution ICP-MS.

An intercomparison experiment was implemented to assess the uncertainties and precisions om atmospheric SO$_{2}$ measurement techiques including a pulsed fluorescence (P-F), a diffusion-scrubber /ion chromatography (D-I), and a mist-chamber/ion chromatography (M-I). Each of those three techniques was investigated by researchers at Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, respectively. The concentrations of atmospheric SO$_{2}$ were determined concurrently using three independent measurement techniques at the Seoul National University campus, Korea during Nov.22 to Dec.2, 1995. While the results from the P-F and D-I techinques showed the very close agreements (within +-5%) throughout the experiment period, M-I technique showed systematically smaller values (up to 30%) than the other two techniques. Although sources of larger discrepancy between different techniques were mot identified, the lower SO$_{2}$ values of the M-I method may be related to the errors associated with sample collection effciency, mass flow rate measurements, and standardization of ion chromatography.

The quantitative analysis of nitrate and nitrite in rain, milk and infant formula was done by Ion Chromatography. The nitrite was not detected(<0.1 mg/L) in all the samples. However, the nitrate was detected in the range of 0.1~4.9 mg/L in rain, 9.8~19.8 mg/L in milk, and 80~300 mg/L in infant formula, respectively. Some content of nitrate is close to the maximum contaminant level(MCL) which is 10 mg/L as $NO_3-N$, 44.3 mg/L as $NO_3$.

There are many pretreatment and detection methods for divalent cations in blood. But our purpose was to study the pretreatment of blood for the determination of cations by Ion Chromatography. We compared with recovery of Mg$^{++}$, and Ca$^{++}$ contained in plasma according to four pretreatment methods, that is, add of trichloroacetic acid and perchloric acid, dilution with distilled water and membrane filter method. As a result, add of trichloroacetic acid was found to be the most suitable method for good recovery of Mg$^{++}$ (98.0%) and Ca$^{++}$(96.0%) in plasma, and the Mg$^{++}$ and Ca$^{++}$ contents in plasma was 20 and 102 ($\mu$g/ml)
