Most of cosmetics are emulsion-type products which contain the sources of nutrition, i.e., vegetable oil, mineral oil and carbohyrate etc.. These additives are usually very susceptible to the contamination by microorganisms. The purpose of this study is to obtain the data necessary not only to prevent dermalopathia occurred by microbials but also to maintain the quality. In this experiment we observed the growth of P.aeruginosa in the cosmetics with or without antiseptics so as to prevent contamination. During the contamination period, the phase became unstable and creaming phenomina was happened together with some discoloration and bad smell. The pH of cosmetic was decreased from 7.6 to 6.0 and the concentration was increased from 1.443 to 1.453 in terms of refractive index during 40 days incubation. By adding antiseptics to the cosmetics, the number of P. aeruginosa from the challenge test method were decreased from $10^8$ cell/ml to $5{\times}10^3$ cell/ml. For the antibacterial effect against P. aeruginosa, p-hydroxy benzoic acid propyl ester in phosphoric acid buffer solution showed the best result.

The flower of Campsis granudiflora K. Schum. was extracted with 80% aqueous MeOH, and the concentrated extract was partitioned with EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_2O$. From the EtOAc fraction, four compounds were isolated through the repeated silica gel and ODS column chromatographies. From the result of physico-chemical data including NMR, MS and IR, the chemical structures of the compounds were determined as linolenic acid methyl ester, linoleic acid methyl ester, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ and daucosterol. Daucosterol inhibited FPTase activity with $IC_{50}$ values of $14{\pm}0.04\;{\mu}M$.

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of biodiesel using the waste coffee oil which was extracted by waste coffee grounds. We tried to deduce the optimum conditions by defining the operating variables, such as mole ratio between methanol and coffee oil (6~18) and the reaction temperature ($45{\sim}60^{\circ}C$) in the biodiesel production processes. The performance was evaluated in terms of yields, contents of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), viscosities, and heating values. The optimum reaction temperature was $55^{\circ}C$. Also, the best biodiesel was produced at the mole ratio between methanol and coffee oil of 12. The highest heating value of the produced biodiesel made from coffee oil was 39.0~39.4 MJ/kg, which satisfies the general standard for the biodiesel energy density, 39.3~39.8 MJ/kg.

Dynamic kinetic resolution of $\alpha$-bromo carboxylic acid derivatives in nucleophilic substitution with chiral $\alpha$-amino ester nucleophiles in the presence of TBAI and DIEA has been investigated for stereoselective syntheses of 1,1'-iminodicarboxylic acid derivatives. Nucleophilic substitutions with various chiral $\alpha$-amino esters gave iminodiacetates 2-8 with stereoselectivities up to 87 : 13 dr. Also, the reactions of N-($\alpha$-bromo-$\alpha$-phenylacetyl)-L-alanine methyl ester with L-alanine, D-alanine and glycine methyl ester nucleophiles afforded N-carboxyalkyl dipeptide analogues 10-12 up to 90 : 10 dr.

N-Methacryloyl-L-histidine and N-methacryloyl-L-histidine methyl ester were synthesized and polymerized to obtain polymeric catalysts with different functions. In the presence of each of these polymers the solvolytic reactions of p-nitrophenyl acetate (PNPA), 3-nitro-4-acetoxybenzoic acid(NABA), 3-acetoxy-N-trimethylanilinium iodide(ANTI) and 3-nitro-4-decanoyloxybenzoic acid(NDBA) were performed in 20% aqueous ethanol. For the purpose of comparison the low molecular weight analogs(LMWA's), L-histidine, L-histidine methyl ester and N-acetyl-L-histidine were also subjected to catalyze the solvolyses of above substrates. In the solvolysis of PNPA the polymeric catalysts exhibited lower activities than the LMWA's. However the ionic substrates, NABA and ANTI were solvolyzed at anomalous rate by polymeric catalyst, indicating that electrostatic effects are operative in the catalysis by polymers. Furthermore in the solvolysis of hydrophobic monomer NDBA, polymeric catalysts exhibited highly enhanced activities compared with the LMWA's implying that hydrophobic interaction can be the most important contribution to the high catalytic activity of imidazole-containing polymers.

Narceine methyl ester and narceine are potent alkaloids which were isolated from Corydalis longipes were found effective in vitro at very low concentration, i.e., $100{\sim}500\;ppm$ against spore germination of some test plant pathogenic fungi (Alternaria solani, A. tagetica, Cercospora abelmoschi, Curvularia maculans, Erysiphe cichoracearum, E. pisi, Fusarium udum, Helminthosporium oryzae, H. penniseti, Ustilago cynodontis). Among the test, phytopathogens the spores of F. udum, C. maculans and H. penniseti were highly sensitive at 200 ppm. However, spores of E. pisi, A. solani and A. tagetica were less sensitive at low concentration followed by other test fungi. Most of the fungi showed zero or nearly zero percent spore germination at 400 and 500 ppm.

From the 70% EtOH extract of the roots of Astragalus membranaceus (Leguminosae), fifteen saponins were isolated and identified as astragaloside I (1), isoastragaloside II (2), astragaloside II (3), agroastragaloside I (4), cyclogaleginoside B (5), cycloaraloside A (6), brachyoside B (7), agroastragaloside II (8), astragaloside III (9), astragaloside IV (10), astramembranoside A (11), astramembranoside B (12), cylocanthoside E (13), cyclounifolioside B (14) and azukisaponin V methyl ester (15) by spectroscopic methods. Ten compounds 1 - 3, 5 - 7, 9 - 11 and 14 have cycloastragenol as an aglycon, and four compounds 4, 8 , 12, and 13 have cyclocanthogenin as an aglycon. The hairy roots of A. membranaceus were shown to produce previously unreported cycloartane-type saponins such as agroastragalosides I (4) and II (8) and cycloastragenol $3-O-{\beta}-D-xyloside$ (5), together with the known saponins. This is the first report of these saponins (4, 5, and 8) from the intact plant. Although the occurrence of the oleanane-type triterpene saponin, azukisaponin V methyl ester (15), in Astragalus plants has been demonstrated by others, this is the first report of the azukisaponin V methyl ester (15) from the Astragalus plants.

To clarify the diffusional behavior of p-aminbenzoic acid esters in the presence of polyethylene glycol 400, cellulose membrane permeation rate, solubility and viscosity of p-aminobenzoic acid methyl ester, benzocaine and butamben were determined with PEG solutions of various concentrations. With an increase in PEG concentrations permeation rates from solutions; decreased due to an increase in viscosity of the solution. From suspensions, however, permeation rates increased due to an increase in solubility and when the initial drug concentration was constant, permeation rates were found to be greatest from the PEG-water system with the PEG concentration which transported from the solution to the suspension. Permeation rate of 4.0mg/ml p-aminobenzoic acid methyl ester was $26.51\mu$g/ml$\cdot$hr from 5g/100ml PEG solution, and that of 4.0mg/ml benzocaine was $13.17{\mu}g/ml{\cdot}hr$ from 15g/100ml PEG, solution, and that of 2.0mg/ml butamben was $3.8{\mu}g/ml{\cdot}hr$ from 10g/100ml PEG solution. Permeation rate was 7.0 fold in p-aminobenzoic acid methyl, ester and 3.5 fold in benzocaine compared to butamben.

Volatile flavor components of soybean koji kochujang made from a glutinuous rice by improved method were analyzed by using a purge and trap method during fermentation, and identified with GC-MSD. Fifty-six volatile flavor components including 16 alcohols, 15 esters, 7 acids, 4 aldehydes, 5 alkanes, 3 ketones, 1 benzene, 1 alkene, 2 phenol and 2 others were found in improved kochujang. The number of volatile flavor components detected immediately after making kochujang were 32 and increased to 46 components after 30 day of fermentation. The most number 55 of volatile flavor components were found after 90 day of fermentation. Thirty-one kinds of volatile flavor components were commonly found through the fermentation period 9 alcohols such as 2-methyl-1-propanol, ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 8 esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, 2-methylpropyl acetate, 3 aldehydes such as butanal, acetaldehyde, furfural and 11 othesrs. Although the various types of peak areas (%) of volatile flavor components were shown in kochujang during the fermentation days, ethanol. ethyl acetate, ethyl butanoate, 2-methylpropyl acetate, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol were mainly detected during fermentation. Those might be the major volatile flavor components in kochujang made by improved method. Peak area of ethanol was the highest one among the volatile flavor components at immediately after mashing and 90 day while ethyl acetate showed the highest Peak area after $30{\sim}60$ day of fermentation and 3-methyl-1-butanol showed the highest peak area after $120{\sim}150$ day of fermentation.
