Background: A set of logical criteria that can accurately identify and verify the cultivation region of raw materials is a critical tool for the scientific management of traditional herbal medicine. Methods and Results: Volatile compounds were obtained from 19 and 32 samples of Angelica gigas Nakai cultivated in Korea and China, respectively, by using steam distillation extraction. The metabolites were identified using GC/MS by querying against the NIST reference library. Data binning was performed to normalize the number of variables used in statistical analysis. Multivariate statistical analyses, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA), and Orthogonal Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) were performed using the SIMCA-P software. Significant variables with a Variable Importance in the Projection (VIP) score higher than 1.0 as obtained through OPLS-DA and those that resulted in p-values less than 0.05 through one-way ANOVA were selected to verify the marker compounds. Among the 19 variables extracted, styrene, α-pinene, and β-terpinene were selected as markers to indicate the origin of A. gigas. Conclusions: The statistical model developed was suitable for determination of the geographical origin of A. gigas. The cultivation regions of six Korean and eight Chinese A. gigas. samples were predicted using the established OPLS-DA model and it was confirmed that 13 of the 14 samples were accurately classified

본 연구는 호두를 대상으로 감마선을 1-10 kGy 선량으로 조사시켜 생성된 hydrocarbon류와 2-alkylcyclobutanone류를 통해 방사선 조사여부를 확인하였다. 지방은 soxhlet방법으로 n-hexane을 추출용매로 사용하였고 florisil이 충진된 column으로 분리하여 gas chromatography / mass spectrometry(GC/MS)로 확인하였다. 감마선 조사된 호두에서 검출된 주요 hydrocarbon류는 oleic acid에서 유도된 8-heptadecene과 linoleic acid에서 유도된 8,11-Heptadecadiene, 1,7,10-Hexadecatriene이었고, 검출된 주요 2-alkylcyclobutanone류는 linoleic acid와 oleic acid에서 유도된 2-(5',8'-tetradecadienyl)cyclobutanone(5',8'-TCB), 2-(5'-tetradecenyl) cyclobutanone(TECB)가 가장 높은 함량으로 확인되었다. 조사된 호두에서 생성된hydrocarbon류와 2-alkylcyclobutanone류의 생성량은 선량에 비례하여 증가하였으며, 이 화합물들은 1 kGy 이상 조사된 시료에서만 나타났으며 비조사 시료에서는 확인되지 않았다. 따라서 방사선 조사에 의해 oleic acid과 linoleic acid에서 유도된 hydrocarbon류 중 8-heptadecene, 8,11-Heptadecadiene 및 1,7,10-Hexadecatriene, 2-alkylcyclobutanone류 중 5',8'-TCB 및 TECB는 감마선 조사 여부의 확인을 위한 marker로서 활용가능성이 높게 나타났다.

A highly sensitive analytical method based on stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) technique and gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS-MS) has been developed, allowing the simultaneous multi-analyte determination of seven UV filters in water samples. The stir bar coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was added to 40 mL of water sample at pH 3 and stirred at 1,100 rpm for 120 min. Other SBSE parameters (salt effect and presence of organic solvent) were optimised. The method shows good linearity (coefficients > 0.990) and reproducibility (RSD < 12.9%). The extraction efficiencies were above 84% for all the compounds. The limits of detections (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) were 2.1∼8.6 ng/L and 6.8∼27.5 ng/L, respectively. The developed method offers the ability to detect 8 UV filters at ultra-low concentration levels with only 40 mL of sample volume. Matrix effects in tap water, river water, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) final effluent water and seawater were investigated and it was shown that the method is suitable for the analysis of trace level of 7 UV filters except of benzophenone (BP). The method developed in the present study has the advantage of being rapid, simple, high-sensitive and both user and environmentally friendly.

식품의 방사선 조사는 식품 저장을 위한 성공적인 현대기술의 하나이지만 매우 신중하게 이루어져야 한다. 조사된 식품의 확인은 국제무역에서 소비자의 안전한 선택과 보호를 위해 가장 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 건조된 오징어와 문어에 전자선을 조사하여 선량별로 유도 생성되는 hydrocarbon류의 함량 및 분해패턴을 확인하였다. 비조사 시료와 선량별로 전자선 조사된 시료에서 지방을 추출한 뒤 solid phase extraction(SPE)방법을 이용하여 GC/MS로 확인하였다. 1, 3, 5, 7 및 10 kGy의 선량으로 전자선 조사된 건조 오징어와 문어에서 유도된 hydrocarbon류는 동일 선량에서 시료들의 지방산 조성에 따른 다른 생성률을 나타내었으며, 조사선량에 따라 증가하였다. 시료들에 다량 함유되어 있는 palmitic acid와 stearic acid로부터 생성된 1-tetradecene(C14:1), pentadecane(C15:0), 그리고 1-hexadecene(C16:1), heptadecane(C17:0)이 전자선 조사에 의해 유도된 주요 hydrocarbon류로 확인되었으며, 건오징어에서 hydrocarbon류 생성량이 건문어의 hydrocarbon류 생성량 보다 더 많음을 확인하였다. 이는 시료의 지방산 함유량에 따라 hydrocarbon류 생성량이 비례함을 알 수 있었다. 전자선 조사된 건오징어와 건문어에서 분석된 hydrocarbon류 중 1-tetradecene(C14:1), 1-hexadecene(C16:1) 그리고 heptadecane(C17:0)은 전자선 조사여부를 판별할 수 있는 지표로 활용될 수 있을 거라 사료된다.

Banaba, Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers. (Lythraceae) is a tree that grows in the tropic islands of the Pacific. This plants are used for medical purposes in the world. The components of L. speciosa were analyzed for the contents according to growing stages at leaves. The distributions of the corosolic acid (2α , 3β -dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid), phytol, campestrol, and vitamin E were rich among samples in this study. These were contained much fatty acids. The mean content of palmitic acid was from 2.4% across all growing stages, varying from 2.15% for young leaves with the lowest content and 2.86% for fallen leaves with the highest content. Oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid were contained nearly mean 2.0% in all leaves of banaba. Our results have shown that the phytochemical profile of young L. speciosa leaves differs quite radically from that of old L. speciosa leaves. In addition, these subdividing results according to plant growth should allow future researches to conduct targeted experimental studies and use of particular medical components of interest, examining chemical variation on the inter-developmental levels.

Sea water samples collected in August, 1994 from 20 stations in the Kwangyang Bay were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring (GC/MS-SIM) to investigate persistence and distribution pattern of four organophosphorus pesticides (DDVP, Diazinon, IBP, EDDP). Except for IBP, the contamination by DDVP, Diazinon, and EDDP in marine aquatic environment in Korea has not been reported previously. In this study, however, all these four pesticides were detected in all stations (except DDVP) and their concentrations were in ng/L level. The concentrations ranged from detection limit to 15.3ng/L for DDVP, 1.8-27.7ng/L for Diazinon, 7.3-63.5ng/L for IBP, and 22.2-1100.1ng/L for EDDP. It is noteworthy that the measured concentrations of IBP and EDDP in this study would be much lower than usual, since the use of IBP and EDDP was less than 50% of average annual consumption due to unusually dry and hot weather condition in the summer of 1994. It was very surprising to find that the highest concentrations of organophosphorus pesticides were observed at stations near Daesa Streamlet instead of Seomjin River, which has more point source of the pesticides. This result suggests that the small river discharge during heavy rain period in summer can give harmful effect on marine biota (both wild and aqua-cultured) with its organophosphorus pesticide residue, despite of their short residence time in aquatic environment. In order to protect the marine life properly from acute toxicity of the organophosphorus pesticides, it needs to be emphasized that monitoring the level of agricultural pesticides in river run-off should be done during active consumption period rather at regular intervals.

The research in this paper was carried out to examine the BTEX(Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene) concentrations in Seongseo Industrial Complex. These compounds are the major constituents, more than 60% in composition of total VOCs, mainly charging in ambient air. BTEX samples were collected from the 38 sites, 10 for the source points and 18 for the boundary sites, and were analyzed by canister-GC/MS. The mean concentrations of BTEX were 33 ppbv for benzene, 214 ppbv for toluene, 89 ppbv for ethylbenzene, 77 ppbv for xylene. Among the BTEX, toluene had the highest concentration in the source points and boundary sites. In the source points, BTEX concentration of incineration facility for hazardous wastewater appeared highly in the range of 220～350 ppbv. BTEX concentrations in source boundary sites appeared in the order of toluene＞ethylbenzene＞xylene＞benzene. As a result of the correlation analysis, the concentration of the source points was related to those of the boundary sites. Correlation of ethylbenzene and xylene was presented to 0.7991(P＜0.01), 0.6329(P＜0.05) as the correlation coefficient, respectively.

Twenty organic chemical substances (Table 2) were isolated from untreated wastewater, as well as treated wastewater, collected at 76 companys of 9 industry group located in the basin of Youngsan River. Those organic compounds were analyzed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry(GC/MS) and confirmed through comparison with each standard reagents. Phenol, which was not detected in the raw wastewater, was identified in the effluent of treatment facility, indicating that phenol is generated from isopropylbenzene of plant wastewater.
