In order to elucidate the flavor compounds of fermented big eyed herring, Harengula zunasi (BLEEKER), and slimy, Leiognathus nuchalis (TEMMINCK et SCHEGEL), the volatile constituents of products were analysed by GLC. In the volatile compounds of fermented big eyed herring, eight kinds of volatile fatty acids, nine kinds of volatile carbonyls, and five kinds of volatile amines were identified. While in the fermented slimy, seven kinds of volatile fatty acids, six kinds volatile carbonyls, and five kinds of volatile amines were also identified. In the volatile fatty acids and volatile amines, n-butyric acid and trimethylamine were the most dominant component in both fermented products. In the fermented big eyed herring 2-methylpropanal, ethanal, and propanal were abundant holding 36.2%, 28.5%, and 16.2%, while in the fermented slimy ethanal, 2-methylpropanal, and propanal were abundant holding 44.7%, 24.1%, and 14.4% of total volatile carbonyls, respectively. From the experimental results, it was concluded that n-butyric acid, trimethylamine and volatile carbonyls such as 2-methylpropanal, ethanal and propanal played an important role in the flavor of the fermented big eyed herring and slimy.

A total of 48 different volatile oils were identified form P. brevitarsis larvae by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Acids (48.67%) were detected as the major group in P. brevitarsis larvae comprising the largest proportion of the volatile compounds, followed by esters (19.84%), hydrocarbons (18.90%), alcohols (8.37%), miscellaneous (1.71%), aldehydes (1.35%) and terpenes (1.16%). The major volatile constituents were 9-hexadecenoic acid (16.75%), 6-octadecenoic acid (14.88%) and n-hexadecanoic acid (11.06%). The composition of fatty acid was also determined by GC analysis and 16 fatty acids were identified. The predominant fatty acids were oleic acid ($C_{18:1}$, 64.24%) followed by palmitic acid ($C_{16:0}$, 15.89%), palmitoleic acid ($C_{16:1}$, 10.43%) and linoleic acid ($C_{18:2}$, 4.69%) constituting more than 95% of total fatty acids. The distinguished characteristic of the fatty acid profile of P. brevitarsis larvae was the high proportion of unsaturated fatty acid (80.54% of total fatty acids) versus saturated fatty acids (19.46% of total fatty acids). Furthermore, small but significant amounts of linoleic, linolenic and ${\gamma}$-linolenic acids bestow P. brevitarsis larvae with considerable nutritional value. The novel findings of the present study provide a scientific basis for the comprehensive utilization of the insect as a nutritionally promising food source and a possibility for more effective utilization.

Volatile flavor compounds from the shoot and root of Angelica gigas Nakai were extracted by HE (Hydrodistillation extraction), SDE (Simultaneous steam distillation & extraction), and SFE (Supercritical fluid extraction system), and analyzed by GC-MS. The amount and the number of chemical components in essential oils from shoot and root by SFE was the higher than those by other extraction methods. Respectively, thirty one constituents were identified from the essential oil of the shoot and root by HE, twenty seven and twenty three constituents were identified from the essential oil of shoot and root by SDE, thirty one and forty five constituents were identified from the essential oil of shoot and root by SFE. The result showed large differences in extraction methods and in plant parts of Angelica gigas Nakai. Also, the bioactive compounds in root part was identified as nodakenin and decursinol (11.95% and 8.42%, respectively) by SFE. These results suggested that SFE was the best extraction method for the increasing of extraction yield, the determination of volatile components and the increasing of bioactive compounds in the shoot and root of Angelica gigas Nakai.

Torrefaction is a thermal treatment process to pre-treat biomass at temperature of $200{\sim}300^{\circ}C$ under an inert atmosphere. It was known that torrefaction process strongly depended on the decomposition temperature of the lignocellulosic constituents in biomass. In this work, the torrefaction characteristics of baggase has been studied. This study focuses on the relation between the energy yields, heating values, gas emission, volatile and ash constituents with torrefaction temperatures and times. The activation energies of baggase torrefaction has been studied by using TGA (Thermogravimetric Analyzer). From this work, it was seen that ash constituents and heating values were increased with torrefaction temperature, while volatile constituents and energy yields decreased. It was also found that carbon monoxide containing oxygen were decomposed at a lower temperature than those of hydrocarbon compounds, $C_xH_y$.

Artemisia capillaris and Artemisia iwayomogi are weeds used as medicinal plants in Korea under the name "Injin". I collected leaves of A. capillaris and A. iwayomogi, examined them for phytotoxic effects from volatile substances and determined the composition of monoterpenes in the leaves. The effects of volatile substances from each species on seed germination and radicle elongation in each of the two Artemisia species were assessed. The volatile substances of A. capillaris did not negatively affect the seed germination of A. capillaris, but they did inhibit radicle elongation. Rates of seed germination of A. iwayomogi decreased when the seeds were exposed to high concentration of A. capillaris volatile substances. The inhibition of seed germination and radicle elongation by volatile substances from both Artemisia species was stronger for A. iwayomogi than for A. capillaris. I identified the monoterpenoids from the leaves with a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The main constituents of A. capillaris were acenaphthylene (37.91%), $\beta$-pinene (12.08%), 4-carene (10.61%) and $\gamma$-curcumene (9.92%), while those of A. iwayomogi were germacrene-$\delta$ (32.15%), borneol (21.24%), camphor (20.45%) and trans-caryophyllene (7.75%).

Volatile extracts obtained from traditional Chinese-type soy sauces prepared with soybean (SSSB) and defatted soy meal (SSDSM) by solid phase microextraction (SPME) and direct solvent extraction (DSE) were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The volatile flavor compounds and relative contents of different chemical classes detected in SSSB and SSDSM were compared for their differences. Results showed that significant differences in both constituents of volatile flavor compounds and relative contents of different chemical classes were observed for both kinds of soy sauces. A total of 152 and 131 compounds were identified in SSSB and SSDSM, respectively, and 102 volatile flavor compounds were common in both kinds of soy sauces. Moreover, relative contents of acids, aldehydes, esters, furan(one)s, miscellaneous compounds, phenols, pyrazines, pyrrol(idinon)es, and sulfur-containing compounds in both kinds of soy sauces were all significantly different.

A simple micro-sampling system is described which facilitates isolation and concentration of complex organic constituents into three fractions of different volatilities. The method involves the headspace trapping of very volatile components from a complex matrix onto a porous polymer, Tenax GC, followed by the solvent elution of the matrix and the subsequent fractions of the eluate into volatile and less-volatile fractions. The headspace and the volatile fractions are then analyzed by high-resolution capillary gas chromatography. The less-volatile fraction is analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Experimental details and the results obtained using tobacco leaves as a complex organic matrix are presented.

This study was performed to examine the effects of ${\gamma}$-irradiation on the volatile flavor compounds of dried leeks (Alliums tuberosum R.). Volatile compounds of dried leeks were extracted using simultaneous steam distillation and extraction (SDE), and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Forty-one, 51, 45, and 42 compounds were tentatively identified in control, 1, 3, and 10 kGy irradiated samples, respectively. The constituents of flavor compounds in irradiated dried leeks were similar to non-irradiated samples. However, the intensities of the peaks were clearly different between them. Sulfur-containing compounds were detected as dominant compounds in all samples and their amounts decreased after ${\gamma}$-irradiation. ${\gamma}$-Irradiation reduced the total concentration of volatile compounds from leeks by 23.19, 15.09, and 30.23% at 1, 3, and 10 kGy doses, respectively.
