This study was carried out to characterize aroma of semi-fermented teas made traditionally in Korea temple. These teas had favorable floral aroma. The extraction of aroma compounds was accomplished by a simultaneous distillation and extraction method using a Likens and Nickerson's extraction apparatus. The concentrated extract was analyzed and identified by GC and GC-MSD. The main aroma components of these teas were 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, (E)-2-hexenal, phenylacetaldehyde, 2-phenyl ethanol, geraniol, ${\beta}-ionone$ and nerolidol. Particularly, the concentration of phenylacetaldehyde was much higher concentration in semi-fermented teas than in green tea prepared from same place. The GC patterns of the aroma components in the semi-fermented teas were slightly different, though they were prepared in same place.

The reason that aromatherapy began to draw attention again as the alternative therapy is because the essential oils that are used for aromatherapy not only allow the human body to maintain homeostasis but also have an effect on curing a mental feeling of fatigue and because these efficacies and effects are proceeding with being proved scientifically. Also, with coming to be high in a voice of concern about severally side effects that the modern medicine and the synthetic chemistry have, the aromatherapy came to be paid attention as the replacement therapy that can substitute for and supplement this. In particular, at the time of requiring a study on a substance to substitute for this after having been announced in Japan for 1998 a risk of Zincpyrithione that is being used as a component of dandruff treatment, it is thought that the aroma oil that was known for having an anti-dandruff effect has a merit of being easy in a user's access, thus it will be effective in curing the symptom of dandruff. Accordingly, this study conducted the following experiment in a bid to examine whether the aroma oil has the anti-microbial effect on the actual malassezia. First of all, it measured the minimum concentration of aroma oil in which the growth of malassezia is inhibited, by carrying out MIC(Minimum Inhibition Concentration) test in terms of anti-microbial activity against Malassezia furfur KCTC 7744 while using oils of Patchouli, Rosemary, Lavender, and Tea tree among aroma oils that are being used for dandruff treatment. As a result of that, Tea tree oil has the most excellent anti-microbial activity, and the measurement result of anti-microbial activity was shown in order of Lavender oil>Rosemary oil>Patchouli oil. Next, it carried out the is actually eased by applying Tea tree oil directly to the scalp of dandruff. In consequence of the experiment, the massage of Tea tree oil indicated the result of relieving the symptoms of dandruff such as scale, itch, pain, inflammation, and sebum, and among these symptoms of dandruff, it was shown to be most effective in easing itch. Especially, this clinical experiment was indicated that the massage of Tea tree oil has the most effect on relieving itch of targets with a dry-skin type who had no experience of dandruff treatment.

Sensory comparison of the flavor of ginseng teas prepared from concentrated white or red ginseng extract was investigated by multipl comparison test and quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) on 12 selected descriptions. The white ginseng tea revealed higher intensities in odor and taste than those of red ginseng tea, particularly on earthy and sweet odor and bitter and astringent taste. Increase in sample temperature from $2^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ caused a general increase in aroma and bitter taste. When sucrose added into 3% ginseng tea solution, all of the taste descriptions, most significantly on bitterness and astringency, scored lower except sweetness while the aroma was affected a little.

This study was conducted to investigate the intakes and preferences related to Korean traditional teas in each of the age groups. The survey was conducted from March $9^{th}$ to $23^{rd}$, 2015. The subjects in this study were 642 adults aged more than 20 years that resided in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas. The health status score was 3.57, and the health concern score was 3.54. The reason for preferring traditional tea was 'health' (40.5%) and 'good taste, color, and aroma' (29.7%). The most important factor in drinking a traditional tea was health (37.1%). Acceptance of each type of traditional tea was ranked in order of 'grain tea', 'fruit tea', 'floral leaf tea', 'assorted tea', 'medical root tea', and 'tonic tea'. A total of 92.8% of respondents said traditional teas should be popularized. Regarding problems for popularization of traditional teas, the most common response was 'not popularized yet' (39.7%). Regarding the method for popularization of traditional teas, the most common response was 'convenience of purchase for ingredients'. As a result, preferences for traditional tea and popularization method were different according to age. It is thus necessary to develop traditional tea products considering the age range.

To investigate the aroma difference of commercial Korean green tea caused by manufacturing process and harvesting time, analysis of aroma concentrates of steamed green teas(1st tea, 2nd tea) and parched green teas(1st tea, 2nd tea) was accomplished. Steamed green tea, which had a briskness, greenish odor and sweet-floral odor, contained large amounts of terpene alcohols such as linalool, nerolidol, ketones such as cis-jasmone, 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-hydroxycyclohexanone and indole, Parched green tea, which had a slightly greenish odor and floral, roast odor, contained large amounts of terpene alcohols such as linalool, geraniol, aromatic alcohols such as benzylalcohol, phenylethanol and phenol, indole. Almost same tendency of odor component change of 1st tea and 2nd tea differed to harvesting time being observed in steamed tea and parched tea. In 2nd tea of both samples, aliphatic alcohols such as 1-penten-3-ol, cis-2-penten-1-al and two 2, 4-heptadienal(cis, trans and trans, trans) increased remarkably. It seems that these four components effects on the grade of the odor.

Fragrance(aroma) have many effects on body. Recently, aromatherapy was used to treat dementia, atopicdermatitis, alopecia areata, perineal disease, lymphatichydrops, and articularrheumatism. And people are interested in physical and mental effects of aroma, especially in mental. People empirically have been known the effects of aroma on soul and used aroma in life from long ago. They have had a meditation and had a sacrificial rites burning incense. Scholars also burned incense when reading books or tasting tea. Until now, there is no physiological study about recognition process and effects of aroma on body, but only many clinical studies using aromatherapy. Fragrance(aroma) is different from smell and good flavors of herbs. And it goes through nose and has effects on body in harmony on So-mun(素問). Also flavors of herbs are spreaded ki of herbs and have many effects on body. Aroma coming through the nose is recognized by co-operation of five-viscera(五臟), especially heart and lung. The nose and pectoral qi(宗氣) are related with lung. The lung opens into the nose, reflect its physiological and pathological conditions. Pectoral qi(宗氣) is the combination of the essential qi derived from food with the air inhaled, stored in the chest, and serving as the dynamic force of blood circulation, respiration, voice, and bodily movements. Because of the heart-spirit(心神), Heart is the organ can recognize the aroma, although the nose is the first organ of receiving aroma. Five spirits(五神: ethereal soul(魂), spirit(神), ideation(意), corporeal soul(魄), will(志)) and seven emotions(七情: joy(喜), anger(怒), anxiety(憂), thought(思), sorrow(悲), fear(恐), fright(驚)) are rerated with five-viscera(五臟) and essence-spirit (精神) processing steps and express of emotions. And aroma effects on five-viscera(五臟). So aroma have many effects on body, especially mentally.

Response surface methodology was used to optimized soaking and roasting conditions and monitor organoleptic properties of roasted Platycodon grandiflorum tea. In soaking and roasting processes based on the central composite design with variations in threonine/sucrose concentration for soaking of Platycodon grandiflorum, roasting temperature and roasting time, coefficients of determination ($R^2$) of the models were above 0.86(p<0.05) in organoleptic properties. The maximum conditions predicted for each corresponding organoleptic properties of roasted Platycodon grandiflorum tea were 1.64% threonine concentration, 137.83$^{\circ}C$ and 27.76 min in aroma, 1.46% threonine concentration, 136.1$0^{\circ}C$ and 25.19 min in taste, and 1.39% threonine concentration, 136.44$^{\circ}C$ and 29.05 min in overall flavour. The optimum condition ranges for organoleptic properties of roasted Platycodon grandiflorum tea were soaking in 1.40~1.64% threonine concentration, and roasting at 136.10~137.9$0^{\circ}C$ for 25.19~29.00 min.
