우리 나라에서 한양재료로 사용되고 있는 약초의 어린잎과 전초(全草)를 산채류로 이용하기 위한 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 식용이 가능한 7종의 약초 어린잎 및 전초(全草)의 일반성분, 무기성분 및 아미노산등을 분석하였다. 독활을 포함해서 7종의 약초 어린잎 및 전초(全草)의 수분함량은 $79.74{\sim}85.97%$의 범위로 다른 야채류에 비해 낮게 나타났으며, 조단백질의 함량은 당귀(1.12%)와 방풍(1.27%)을 제외하고는 대부분 2%정도로 야채류와 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 그리고 조지방은 $0.69{\sim}1.36%$, 조섬유는 $1.8{\sim}3.9%$, 조회분은 $1.58{\sim}2.79%$의 범위로로 각각 나타나 종류 별로는 다소의 차이를 보이고 있으나 일반 야채류와 대체적으로 비슷하였다. 무기성분에서는 모든 시료에서 K함량이 $202{\sim}504mg%$로 가장 높았고 Ca, Mg 및 Natns으로 나타났다. 총 아미노산의 함량은 두릅 965mg%, 황금 930mg%, 독활 879mg%, 일당귀 851mg%, 배초향가 747mg% 및 방풍 615mg%의 함량을 보였다. 아미노산의 조성을 보면 약초의 종류에 따라 아미노산의 종류별 함량 차이가 있으나 전반적으로 aspartic acid와 glutamic acid가 공통적으로 많았으며, methionine과 cystine은 모든 시료에서 가장 적게 나타났다.

The number of natural products obtained from plants has now reached over 100,000 and new chemical compounds are being discovered ever year. Medicinal and Aromatic plants and their extracts have been used for centuries to relieve pain, aid healing, kill bacteria and insects are important as the antifungal and anti-herbivore agents with further compounds being involved in the symbiotic associations. Although their functions in plants have not been fully established, it is Known that some substances have growth regulatory properties while others are involved in pollination and seed dispersal. The complex nature of these chemicals are usually produced in various types of secretory structures which is an important character of a plant family and also influenced and controlled by genetic and ecological factors. Detailed anatomical description of these structures ave relevant to the market value of the plants, the verification of authenticity of a given species and for the detection of substitution or adulteration. Volatile oils are used for their therapeutic action for flavoring of lemon, in perfumery of rose or as starting materials for the synthesis of other compounds of turpentine. For therapeutic purposes they are administered as inhalations of eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, as gargles and mouthwashes of thymol and transdermally many essential oils including those of lavender, etc. With these current trend for using volatile components in essential oil will be increasing in the future in Korea and in the world as well.

In the courses of in vitro screening for the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of the various extracts from medicinal plants, n-BuOH soluble extract of the seeds of Xanthium strumarium was found to exhibit distinctive angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. Bioassay-guided fractionation and purification of the n-BuOH soluble extract of the seeds of Xanthium strumarium afforded a new $xanthiazone-11-{\beta}-glucopyranoside$. The ACE activity was significantly inhibited by the addition of a new $xanthiazone-11-{\beta}-glucopyranosidein$ a dose-dependent manner of which $IC_{50}$ value was $21.8\;{\mu}g/ml$.

Marine sponges have been considered as a drug treasure house with respect to great potential regarding their secondary metabolites. Most of the studies have been conducted on sponge's derived compounds to examine its pharmacological properties. Such compounds proved to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antimalarial, antitumor, immunosuppressive, and cardiovascular activity. Although, the mode of action of many compounds by which they interfere with human pathogenesis have not been clear till now, in this review not only the capability of the medicinal substances have been examined in vitro and in vivo against serious pathogenic microbes but, the mode of actions of medicinal compounds were explained with diagrammatic illustrations. This knowledge is one of the basic components to be known especially for transforming medicinal molecules to medicines. Sponges produce a different kind of chemical substances with numerous carbon skeletons, which have been found to be the main component interfering with human pathogenesis at different sites. The fact that different diseases have the capability to fight at different sites inside the body can increase the chances to produce targeted medicines.

Wild grapes have been used as traditional medicinal use and alcoholic beverage production in Korea. The objective of this study is to improve antioxidant properties in Sae-muru by far infrared ray (FIR) treatment, with expecting potential benefits of FIR treatment for wild grape products during manufacturing processes. FIR treatment in berries induced increased content of catechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate, gallic acid, rutin, ellagic acid, and resveratrol, while content of epicatechin and epigallocatechin was decreased. Although FIR treatment resulted either increased or decreased chemical component groups, presenting in HPLC chromatograms, antioxidant activity in Sae-muru extract was significantly increased by the FIR treatment. Our results suggest that FIR treatment should be an efficient process in the production of high content of bioactive molecules in Sae-muru.

Phenolics level, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant were determined from the methanol extracts of the eight medicinal plants using roots. Total phenolics were found as the highest levels in the methanol extracts of Arctium lappa, and followed by Youngia sonchifolia and Cirsium japonicum. Total amount of the each phenol compounds were detected in C. japonicum extracts ($319.2\;mg\;kg^{-1}$) as the greatest component, and followed by A. lappa ($96.3\;mg\;kg^{-1}$) and Y. sonchifolia ($22.9\;mg\;kg^{-1}$). Total flavonoid content showed the highest amount in methanol extracts from A. lappa (68.1 mg $100\;g^{-1}$) and followed by Y. sonchifolia (11.2 mg $100\;g^{-1}$) Lycoris radiate extracts (87.2%) had the highest nitrite scavenging activity and followed by A. lappa (81.5%) and Y. sonchifolia (77.5%). Methanol extracts of A. lappa at 25 mg $100\;g^{-1}$ exhibited the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity by 90.8%, even though less activity than synthetic antioxidants Vitamin C or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Level of polyphenols was highly correlated with anti oxidative activity ($r^2$ = 0.85). The results suggest that several medicinal plants selected had the potent biological activities, and that their activities were differential depending on plant species.

It's not easy to detect the high quality and functional compounds for control quality of food materials. The electronic nose was an instrument, which comprised of an array of electronic chemical sensors with partial specificity and an appropriate pattern recognition system, capable of recognizing simple or complex odors. It can conduct fast analysis and provide simple and straightforward results and is best suited for quality control and process monitoring in the field of functional foods. Numbers of applications of an electronic nose in the functional food industry include discrimination of habitats for medicinal food materials, monitoring storage process, lipid oxidation, and quality control of food and/or processing with principal component analysis, neural network analysis and the electronic nose based on GC-SAW sensor. The electronic nose would be possibly useful for a wide variety of quality control in the functional food and plant cultivation when correlating traditional analytical instrumental data with sensory evaluation results or electronic nose data.

We have studied the effect of 31 extracts and 10 components from some edible and medicinal plants on the formation of lipid peroxide in the liver homogenate of rat in vitro. The 70% acetone extracts of Allium tuberosum, Beta vulgaris var. cicla and Brassica juncea var. integrifolia, and methanol extract of Capsicum annuum decreased the formation of lipid peroxide by 33%, 58%, 62% and 56% at the concentration of 1mg/ml, respectively. And these four extracts inhibited the lipid peroxidation at the concentration of $10^{-1}$mg/ml by 17%, 46%, 49% and 45% respectively. Among the component tested, quercetin, quercitrin and isorhamnetin reduced the formation of lipid peroxide by 45%, 15% and 28% respectively at the concentration of $10^{-2}$mg/ml.
