Effects of temperature, time, solvent addition ratio and number of extraction on contents of effectual components and soluble materials of cinnamon extracts were studied. All of the chemical contents of proximate composition and cinnamic acid, cinnamic aldehyde and eugenol were significantly increased as the extraction temperature increased from $20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$, while little change measured at $100^{\circ}C$. During ten hours of extraction at $80^{\circ}C$, more than six hours extraction showed a little increase effects the contents of cinnamic aldehyde, eugenol and proximate components. The ratio of solvents added to dried cinnamon also showed improving effects of chemical properties as the ratio increased from 5 to 40 times. Two times of extractions for 1 hour was found to be effective to recover those components.

The decoctions and extracts were prepared on the traditionally prescribed four kinds (Kejigamcho-tang, Kejibanha-tang, Keji-tang, Kejiinsam-tang) of preparations containing Cinnamoni Raulus. The contents of cinnamic acid and cinnamic aldehyde in these preparations were determined by high performance liquid chromatography using reverse phase partition column, and 12% MeOH as eluting solvent. The sample was determined using the two wave length, 254nm and 280nm. This method was sucessfully applied to the analysis of cinnamic acid and cinnamic aldehyde of various preparations containing Cinnamons.

In order to select the optimum drying method for the production of cinnamon extract, water extract and 70% ethanol extract of cinnamon were prepared. And then several drying method of oven drying, vacuum evaporation, spray drying and freeze drying were performed. Content of cinnamic acid, cinnamic aldehyde, eugenol, tannin and free sugar, and antioxidant activity, degree of browning, pH, color value, turbity and solubility were compared. In water extract, contents of cinnamic acid, cinnamic aldehyde, eugenol were 29.45mg/100g, 94.86mg/100g, 120.75mg/100g and decreased to 4.76%∼44.21%, 5.30%∼48.05%, 3.66%∼21.83% by oven dyring, vaccum drying, spray drying respectively, but freeze drying showed a little decrease of those components. In 70% ethanol extract, effectual components decreased to 76.05%∼88.38% and 26.86%∼78.76% by freeze drying and vacuum evaporation respectively. Antioxidant activity decreased by drying and decreasing rate in 70% ethanol extract was lower than water extract. Degree of browning increased as the drying temperature increased. Tannin and free sugars were little affected by drying temperature. Solubility decreased in oven drying and 70% ethanol extract. Overall data suggested that optimum drying methods of cinnamon extract were freeze drying in case of water extract and freeze drying and vaccum drying in case of 70% ethanol extract.

The dried cinnamon was extracted with enzymes, salts, sugars and additives in order to find the most effective extraction material. Enzymatic hydrolysis of cinnamon suspension with cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase, ${\beta}-1.4-glucosidase$, tannase and lipase showed a little increase of their cinnamic aldehyde contents. Solid yield, antioxidant activity and degree of browning were increased in hemicellulase treatment. Acid and alkali extraction of cinnamon showed a some increase in solid yields and antioxidant activity was increased by addition of glucose and Na-ascorbate. Cinnamic aldehyde contents and degree of browning were increased in extraction with Na-citrate addition.

The effect of ethanol concentration for extraction of cinnamon on chemical and physical properties of the extracts was investigated. The cinnamon was extracted at $80^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. High contents of cinnamic acid, aldehyde, eugenol and antioxidant activity were found in the extracts of $60{\sim}90%$ ethanol. Free sugar, tannin, degree of browning and total solids were measured relatively high in 70% ethanol extract while total amino acids and minerals were increased as the ethanol concentration decreased. The overall data suggested 70% ethanol as the most effective solvent for cinnamon extraction.

In order to select the optimum ethanol concentration for extraction of volatile components in cinnamon, the dried cinnamon was extracted with water and 30∼90% ethanol. The volatile components of cinnamon extracts were isolated by the simultaneous distillation extraction method using Likens and Nickerson's extraction apparatus, and analyzed by GC-MS. In cinnamon bark powder 45 components were detected and 21 components were identified. The major component of cinnamon bark powder was cinnamic aldehyde. In water extract of cinnamon, volatile components were not extracted sufficiently. The volatile components of cinnamon were increased with the increment of ethanol concentraction upto 70%. The volatile component of 70% ethanol extract showed similar pattern and amount to cinnamon bark powder. But in 90% ethanol extracts, the number and amount of volatile component were reduced. The above data suggested that 70% ethanol was the most effective solvent for volatile components extraction of cinnamon.

So Cheong Ryong Tang (SCRT) has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of the bronchial asthma. In this study, the effect of steaming process on changes in 11 major compounds (homogentisic acid, ephedrine HCl, paeoniflorin, cinnamic acid, cinnam aldehyde, glycyrrhizin, 6-gingerol, schizandrin, methyleugenol, gomisin A and gomisin N) content and neuroprotective activity of SCRT were evaluated. Major compound content was slightly different with steaming produce. The contents of paeoniflorin, cinnamic acid, cinnam aldehyde, 6-gingerol and methyleugenol were decreased and homogentisic acid, ephedrine HCl, glycyrrhizin, schizandrin and gomisin A were increased by steaming process. The neuroprotective activity of steaming SCRT was determined in mouse hippocampal HT22 cells by MTT assay. As a result, neuroprotective activity of a steaming SCRT was higher than that of a non steaming SCRT. This study demonstrated that neuroprotective activity of SCRT can be improved through steaming process.

This study was conducted to develop the method for the safe supply of Sujeonggwa (cinnamon flavored persimmon punch) in severe environments such as space, desert or deep sea, by the combined treatment of gamma irradiation with other food technologies. Commercially prepared Sujeonggwa powder could be sterilized at 4.5 kGy or above doses. However, sensory characteristics of gamma-irradiated Sujeonggwa decreased depending upon the dose. The combined treatment of vacuum packaging with the addition of vitamin C and cinnamic aldehyde in Sujeonggwa powder could minimize the change of sensory qualities induced by ionizing irradiation.

In order to determine the structure-activity relationships for antioxidative effects of gagaminine, a steroidal alkaloid isolated from the roots of Cynanchum wilfordi (Asclepiadaceae), two derivatives identified as sarcostin and penupogenin were prepared from gagaminine by hydrolysis and reduction. These compounds were evaluated for the inhibitory effects on the aidehyde oxidase activity and on lipid perbxidation in vitro. Furthermore, their effects were compared with those of gagaminine and the related compounds, cinnamic acid and nicotinic acid. The results of this study prove that the cinnamoyl group in the structure of gagaminine is critical in inhibition of the aldehyde oxidase activity while the nicotinoyl group may be necessary for anti-lipid peroxidation of the compound.

This study was done to assess an alternative method as a replacement of in vivo phototoxicity test. The human fibroblasts were exposed to several phototoxic chemicals (promethazine, chlorpromazine chlortetracycline, 8-methoxypsoralen, neutral red, bithionol) and non-phototoxic materials (cinnamic aldehyde, p-aminobenzoic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, L-cysteine). The cell viability was measured by neutral red uptake (NRU) assay. The results of the NRU phototoxicity (PT) assay showed a close agreement with in vivo test except bithionol. We also have tested the cosmetic ingredients including $Medimin^{(R)}$ A, $Medimin^{(R)}$ D, $LG^{(R)}$ 106W, $Phytoclear^{(R)}$ EL-1, Carex humilis L. extract, Canna indica L. extract, Salvia miltiorrhira Bunge extract, $Parsol^{(R)}$ MCX and $Parsol^{(R)}$ 1789. Most materials except Salvia miltiorrhira Bunge extract did not show any phototoxicity.
