The methanol extract from leaves of Catalpa ovata 6. DoN showed DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging activity, and its antioxidative compounds were studied. The ethyl acetate-soluble neutral fraction from the methanol extract was successively purified with silica gel adsorption column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and HPLC. Three antioxidative compounds were isolated and identified as piperitol, pinoresinol and lariciresinol by HR-MS and NMR spectroscopic analyses. The DPPH radical-scavenging activity of the identified compounds decreased in the order of lariciresinol > pinoresinol > piperitol.

This study was conducted to estimate volatile compounds in pericarp of Zanthoxylum piperitum DC (Chopi). Chopi which harvested on lune 2, July 14 and September 11 in 2001 was dried at room temperature for one week. Fifty-two, 47, and 44 volatile compounds were analyzed with GC-MS in pericarp harvested on lune 2, July 14 and September 11, respectively. Eight terpenes including myrcene, ${\gamma}$-terpinene, $\alpha$-terpinolene, $\alpha$-phellandrene and $\beta$-caryophyllene were detected in pericarp harvested on tulle 2 and July 14, but not $\alpha$-phellandrene and $\beta$-caryophyllene in pericarp harvested on September 11. Thirteen alcohols or terpene alcohols including linalool L and citronellol were detected in pericarp harvested on lune 2, and added cis-linallol oxide and piperitol isomer in pericarp harvested on July 14 and September 11. Three aldehydes or terpene aldehydes were not affected by degree of maturation, but citronellal was increased in pericarp harvested on September 11. Five volatile compounds of ketones containing cryptone and piperitone were detected, and their concentration was changed during maturation. Six esters including lavandulyl acetate and $\alpha$-terpinenyl acetate were detected in pericarp harvested on lune 2, and [(E)-6,7-ephoxy-3,7-dimethyl-2-octenyl]ester of acetic acid was added in pericarp harvested on July 14 and September 11. Seven hydrocarbons including $\delta$-cadinene and neopentylidene cyclohexane were detected in pericarp harvested on June 2 and $\alpha$-muurolene was newly added in pericarp harvested on July 14 and September 11. We suggest that kinds and concentration of volatile compounds in pericarp were remarkably different from those in mature stage.

This study investigated the chemical composition of four Korean cultivated Chrysanthemum indicum L. (Gamguk 1 ho, Gamguk 2 ho, Gamguk 3 ho, and Wonhyang) which are used in the food and fragrance industries to identify their volatile flavor compounds. These compounds were analyzed using headspace GC-MS from plant samples cultivated in the same region of Korea (Sancheong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do). A total of 23 compounds were identified, eight of which were common across the four cultivars. The major flavor components in the three Gamguk plants were identified as 3-carene, camphene, ${\beta}$-phellandrene, eucalyptol and (+)-camphor. Eleven compounds, including (+)-camphor at 31.40%, were identified in Gamguk 1 ho. Gamguk 2 ho was found to contain 12 flavor compounds, predominant of which was camphene at 25.60%. Thirteen compounds including (+)-camphor (26.88%) were identified in Gamguk 3 ho, while 17 were detected in the Wonhyang cultivar, including trans-piperitol (47.33%), sabinene, and ${\gamma}$-terpinyl acetate. These results indicate differences in the type and ratio of functional volatile flavor ingredients in Chrysanthemum indicum L. cultivars which is highly valuable as material for fragrance product development.

The study was carried out to find compositions of proximate components, free amino acid, and essential oils from root of Anthriscus sylvestylis. Proximate component contents were 7.69% for protein, 1.74% for fat, 2.44% for fiber, and 3.76% for ash. Extract content was 27.68% in fresh root. The compositions of free amino acids consisted 16 kinds. Phenylalanine content was the highest in composition of free amino acids. The essential oils of the root of Anthriscus sylvestylis was examined. $\alpha$-pinene, campreol, ,$\beta$-pinene, sabinene, myrcene, phellandrene, $\alpha$-terpinolene, d-limone, ${\gamma}$-terpinene, p-cymene, $\alpha$-terpinolene, carboxaldehyde, 3-cyc1ohexen-l-carboxaldehyde, 2-nonenal, isobornyl acetate, 4-terpineol, $\beta$-bisabolene, cis-piperitol, p-cymen-8-ol, BHT, methyl eugenol and 2-methoxy-4-vinyl-phenol were identified from the diethylether layers. Recovery yield of essential oils of Anthriscus sylvestylis of root was 0.58%. As a result, it was considered that the plant is worthy of cultivating as spice and medicinal crops.
