The headspace volatiles of the Korean ginseng and the Chinese ginseng were extracted using the SepPak Cl8 cartridge (Wasters Co.) and were analyzed using GC/MSD. The overall GC pattern of the headspace volatiles of the Chinese ginseng was similar to that of the Korean ginseng, but the composition ratios of the two major components, $\beta$-panasinsene to $\beta$-muurolene, were quite different between them. The composition ratios of $\beta$-panasinsene to $\beta$-muurolene of the Korean red and white ginseng were 1.02$\pm$0.28 (n=19) and 1.49$\pm$0.55 (n=14) , respectively. However the com- position ratios of the Chinese red and dried ginseng were 0.58$\pm$0.19 (n=41) and 0.57$\pm$0.17 (n=28), repetitively, which were significantly lower than those of the Korean ginseng at I% level. The composition ratio of the two major headspace volatile components, $\beta$-panasinsene to ${\gamma}$-muurolene, is thought to be as a useful indicator for differentiating the Chinese ginseng with the Korean ginseng.

Ginsengs grown fur six years at different locations were harvested and prepared for white and red ginsengs. These fresh, white, red, and other ginsengs purchased from domestic and foreign countries were analyzed for their volatile compounds by solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography (SPME-GC) and SPME-GC/mass spectrometery (MS). The intensity of the ginseng volatiles perceived by nose was also measured in order to correlate the intensity with the corresponding GC analysis. Good correlations were obtained between the GC peak area and the degree of intensity evaluated by sensory panelists, indication that a reliable and objective evaluation of the aroma intensity of ginsengs by a simple GC analysis is possible.

New simple methods for the Isolation of sesquiterpenes from Panax ginseng were developed. First, volatile compounds were isolated by simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE) with 30% methanol and $\alpha$-hexane instead of water and ethyl ether/pentane (1:1). Secondly, head space volatiles in U-shaped tube at 7$0^{\circ}C$ were passed through C18 Sep-Pak by nitrogen gas streaming and the adsorbed volatiles were fluted by $\alpha$-hexane. TLC analysis showed that the volatile concentrates consisted mainly of terpenes when colored by vanillin-sulfuric and. GC/MS data revealed that approximately 30 sesquiterpenes of molecular weight 204 occupied 81.1% or more of the volatile concentrates isolated by those two newly developed methods. Among these, alloaromadendrene, germacrene B, isocaryophyllene, $\alpha$-neoclovene, ${\gamma}$-muurolene, $\beta$-panaslnsene, and $\alpha$-humulene were identified as being major sesqulterpenes by authentic samples or literatme search Key words : Panax ginseng, volatile compound, sesquiterpene, isolation, new method, GC/MS.

The volatile oils of the fresh leaf and seed of parsley(Petroselinum crispum) were isolated by simultaneous steam distillation and extraction procedure. The compositions of the resulting oils were investigated by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The volatile oil contents of leaf and seed were 0.06 % and 3.11 %, respectively. Fifty-eight components including 15 partially characterized components were identified in leaf oil and 23 components in seed oil. Seven of them are suggested as new parsley leaf volatiles. Terpenoids were represented as much as 46.4 % of total leaf volatiles and 49.3 % of total seed volatiles. The leaf volatiles contained a lot of myrcene(3.02%), 4-isopropenyl-1-methyl benzene(4.52%) and p-1,3,8-menthatriene(10. 49 % ), but the seed volatiles were characterized by greater quantities of the isomers, ${\alpha}-pinene$(22.28 %) and ${\beta}-pinene$(16.20 %), although these compounds were contained only trace in leaf volatiles. Of the components identified in both oils, the most abundant component was myristicin, constituting 21.80 % of the leaf volatiles and 47.54 % of the seed volatiles.

Volatile components of fresh apricot (Prunus armeniaca var. ansu Max.) were isolated by simultaneous distillation-extraction at two different pH values of 3.1 and 7.0 and by headspace trapping method. The volatiles were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. A total of 80 components were identified in the three aroma concentrates, including 9 naphthalene derivatives that were not previously reported in apricot. Of components identified in native pH (3.1) sample, the major components were aliphatic $C_6$ aldehydes and alcohols, monoterpene alcohols, benzyl alcohol, ${\beta}-phenylethyl$ alcohol and naphthalene derivatives, while those in neutral pH(7.0) sample and headspace volatiles were aliphatic $C_6$ aldehydes and alcohols. Simultaneous distillation-extraction at pH 3.1 was significantly increased the concentration of n-hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, cis-3-hexen-1-ol, linalool oxide, linalool, ${\alpha}-terpineol$, nerol, geraniol, benzyl alcohol, ${\beta}-phenylethyl$ alcohol and naphthalene derivatives. These results demonstrate that above the components are present in glycosidically bound forms in apricot.

The flavor characteristics of the Korean red ginseng were compared with those of the Chinese red ginseng organoleptically. The Korean red ginseng had strong sweety and roasted odor while the Chinese red ginseng had strong earthy, woody and hay-like odor. The sweety odor and the roasted odor of the Korean red ginseng occurred in the neutral subfraction of the ether-soluble fraction of its headspace volatiles.

Considering the development of fusion ingredients rom red ginseng and Cheonggukjang (soybean-fermented food), their commercial powders were evaluated in their Hunter's colors, volatile compounds, and sensory properties depending on manufacturing companies and mixing ratio of both powdered products. Hunters L, a and b values of red ginseng powders were $75.56\sim85.50,\;1.90\sim6.30,\;and\;23.29\sim35.08$, respectively, while those of Cheonggukjang powders were $64.96\sim71.69,\;4.64\sim8.30,\;and\;30.45\sim36.50$, respectively. Volatile compounds were mainly composed of hexanal, $\beta-pinene$, methyl benzene, 3,5-methyl propyl nonane, 2-propanone, decane, and 2,8-dimethyl undecane in red ginseng samples, and of 2,3-butanedione, decane, 2,2,7,7-tetramethyl octane, and 3-methyl butanal in Cheonggukjang samples. Total volatiles of the mixed samples decreased as ginseng decreased and Cheonggukjang increased. The mixed sample of both red ginseng and cheonggukjang in same amounts was the highest in its sensory acceptability, which was composed in the order of 2-propanone, 2-butanone, pentane, hexanal and 3-methyl butanal. The above results indicate that red ginseng and Cheonggukjang showed a potential as fusion ingredient for preparing new functional produce through further processing.

The isolation of volatile compounds by vacuum-distillation with freeze-drying was tested 1 with fresh ginseng roots. The roots were frozen at-8$0^{\circ}C$; they were dried at-4$0^{\circ}C$ tinder vacuum(40 tory), for 24 hours; and the ice condensed at the silrface of condenser in the freeze-dryer was thauved at room temperature. The ether extract of the resulting aqueous solution was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID) or a nitrogen-phosphorils detecto(NPD) and by gas : chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC/MS). More than forty peaks were observed in the CG(FID) profile. and more than ten peaks were observed in the GC(NPD) profile. Among them, thirteen components 1including one aldehyde, four hydrocarbons, two esters, folly alcohols, and two vyrazines were identified: six components the molesuiar ions of which were m/z, 204 were estimated to be a series of azulene compounds; and the other components unidentified were estimated to have molecular weights of lower than 254. Therefore, the freeze-drying technicue is thought to be usefu1 for the isolation of volatile compounds of such low molecufilar weights from vegetables, fruits and biological fluids as well as fresh ginseng roots under the tested conditions.
