The volatile flavor components were isolated from the roots of Saussurea lappa C.B. Clarke produced in Korea and China by the hydro distillation, and were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). 63 aroma compounds representing 87.47% of the total peak area were tentatively identified, including 13 alcohols (22.56%), 26 hydrocarbons (21.78%), 4 aldehydes (21.24%), 11 ketones (18.04%), 1 oxide (0.52%), 3 esters (0.16%), 1 carboxylic acid (0.02%) and 4 miscellaneous components (3.15%). 46 volatile flavor components of imported S. lappa C.B. Clarke constituted 65.69% of the total volatile composition were tentatively characterized, consisting of 1 aldehyde (23.32%), 24 hydrocarbons (16.69%), 10 ketones (15.84%), 7 alcohols (8.92%), 1 oxide (0.83%), 2 esters (0.07%) and 1 acid (0.02%). The predominant components of both essential oils were (7Z,10Z,13Z)-7,10,13-hexadecatrienal and dehydrocostuslactone.

The rising spate of piracy in Nigeria's territorial waters has become a burden on the economic development of the country. It has adversely affected the exportation of crude oil, which is the mainstay of the country's economy. Pirates target and hijack vessels carrying oil and gas, thus reducing the revenue accruable to the country from selling these resources. Piracy also affects the fishing industry which is another source of revenue to the country. Nigeria, as an import dependent country, relies on the importation of finished goods, and this is seriously affected by piracy. This study briefly examines the root causes of piracy in Nigeria. Further, the study interrogates the effects of piracy, identifies the challenges in the suppression of the crime and proffers suggestions toward suppressing the crime in the country. Against this backdrop, the study argues, among other things, that an expansive definition of piracy is key in the fight against this maritime crime in Nigeria, because the present legal regime is restrictive and limited in scope, thus, it does not reflect the modern piratical acts. More importantly, Nigeria must criminalise piracy in its domestic law in other to police its territorial waters, capture and prosecute pirates in its local courts.

To examine the allelopathic potentials of Chrysanthemum boreale, aqueous extracts and essential oil of the plant were used in these experiments. Seed germination of the receptor species was inhibited by the aqueous extracts and the inhibitory effect was increased in proportion to the concentration of extracts. In contrast, seedling elongation showed varied results. Achyranthes japonica, Bidens bipinnata, Raphanus sativus var. hortensis for. acanthiformis, Plantago asiatica, Pimpinella brachycarpa and Lactuca sativa were inhibited by increasing concentration of the aqueous extract, while Brassica campestris subsp. napus var. pekinensis and Echinochloa crus-galli were stimulated by the extract. Dry weight was also inhibited proportionally by increasing concentration of the aqueous extract, while some species were stimulated by a lower concentration of the extract. The volatile substances of C. boreale did not affect the seed germination of receptor plants, but seedling elongation and dry weight of some species were inhibited dose-dependently. Root hair development of selected plants was inhibited along with the concentration of essential oil. The above mentioned results, therefore, confirmed that the natural substances from C. boreale had allelopathic potentials to other plants.

In continuation of our studies on essential oils of Angelica genus(Umbelliferae), We report on the components of essential oils obtained from the root of Angelica tenuissima Nakai(藁子). Oils were obtained from the dried roots by steam distillation and fractionated by column chromatography. Each isolate or fraction was identified by GC, GC-MS and spectral analysis. Essential oils of the root of A. tenuissima(Gaoben) were found to contain $\alpha-pinene,\;camphene,\;\beta-pinene,\;myrcene,\;\alpha-phellandrene,\;\Delta-3-carene,\;p-cymene,\;limonene,\;\gamma-terpinene,\;terpinolene,\;4-vinylguauacol,\;\gamma-elemene$, one aromatic compound, three unidentified sesquiterpene alcohols, butylidenephthalide, senkyunolide and Z-ligustilide which was the most abundant compound comprising 75% of the whole oil. Also butylphthalide and hydroxybutylidenephalide were tentatively identified.

Ginseng is described as the "King of all herbs, "Man-root" or "Root of heaven" and regarded as the most powerful herbal remedy, particularly grown in Korea, China, Japan, Vietnam, and North America. It has been in existence for a long time. The most demanded herbal cure, Ginseng, principally the root, has long been employed in traditional Asian medicine. The extent of availability of bioactive combinations and their impact on the body differs between American and Asian ginseng. Asian ginseng, also known as Panax ginseng, has a more calming influence and is more advantageous than American ginseng, such as Panax quinquefolius. The pharmaceutical aspect of development and extraction with diverse morphological properties is examined. Saponins, glycosides, carbohydrates, polyacetylenes, amino acids, vitamins, volatile oil, enzymes are all present in the Phyto-content of Ginseng. Ginsenosides are saponins that are constituents of the triterpenoid dammarane and have anticancer, anti-cardiovascular, anti-microbial, anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Ginseng, in particular, has the possibility to help with microbial invasion, inflammatory processes, oxidative stress, and diabetes. It developed nanoparticles and nanocomposite film technologies as novel drug delivery platforms for cancer, inflammation, and neurological illnesses. Furthermore, it offers a range of applications that will be vital for future growth.

This study was performed to investigate the anti-obesitic effect of mulberry root-bark on male and female Zucker FA/FA or FA/fa rats. Obesity in the rats was induced by feeding high-lipid diet contained 3% corn oil and 1% cholesterol. Experimental groups in male and female rats were assigned to normal diet group (normal control), high-lipid diet group(positive control) and 3% mulberry root-bark powder in high-lipid diet group (MRC). The mulberry treated-group showed decreases of body weight, FER (food efficiency ratio) value and lipid peroxidation in the liver and increase of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) value, compared with positive control groups. Our findings suggest that mulberry root-bark has a potential role in preventing or improving obesity from the following points of view, body weight, serum lipids and antioxidant enzyme activities.

Engine oil leaks comprise the largest percentage of the major quality problems that have occurred during the engine production process for military land system equipment over the last two years. To minimize this, it is essential to understand the root cause of the engine oil leakage and perceive the more common leakage area, as well as reduce the quality costs of pre-identification for leaks in the engine assembly process and single items. Therefore, in this study, the mass production quality of engines installed and operated in power equipment was improved by visualizing the engine oil leakage injected with the fluorescent dye and increasing the identification of the engine oil leak phenomenon. For this reason, the possibility of substituting the engine oil was considered and the engine oil was injected with the fluorescent dye. The maintenance was improved by reforming the engine oil injection process and leakage inspection process. Finally, these results suggest that the quality costs between mass production processes can be minimized by ensuring the reliability of military engines by reducing the user's complaints and improving the quality control capabilities of engine manufacturers.

This experiment was carried out to investigate watering with relation to growth, quality and yield of essential oil in sweet basil. The degree of water stress was taken as amount of watering. D1 was watered with 25mL for 2 weeks and 30mL from 4 to 5 weeks after planting in Wagner pot (1/20000a, ${\phi}24cm$). As this, 75mL and 90mL, 225mL and 270mL, and 675mL and 810mL were watered in D2, D3, and D4 treatment respectively. DFT was set up as water stress was not inflicted. The growth of basil in D3 and D4 was better than that of others, in which root activity was as much twice as that of D1. Essential oil of D1 was recorded the lowest content as 0.33%. The result of proline content, peroxidase activity, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and stomatal resistance were proved D1 to be stressed. This treatment consequently increased the content of essential oil. In consideration of growth and essential oil content, D3 treatment was highest as 47.37mg in oil production per plant. Finally, D3 watered with 225mL for 2 weeks and 275mL from 4 to 5 weeks after planting could be selected on the purpose of both plant growth and essential oil production. Essential oil content of sweet basil was increased in response to water stress. For increase of essential oil yield, oil synthesis could be raised by giving water stress just before harvesting.
