Rubber articles contain various organic additives such as antidegradants, curing agents, and processing aids. It is important to extract and analyze these organic additives. In this paper, various extraction methods of organic additives present in rubber composites were introduced (solvent extraction, Soxhlet extraction, headspace extraction, and solid-phase microextraction), and the extracts were characterized using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Solvent and Soxhlet extractions are easy-to-perform and commonly used methods. Efficiency of solvent extraction varies according to the type of solvent used and the extraction conditions. Soxhlet extraction requires a large volume of solvent. Headspace sampling is suitable for extracting volatile organic compounds, while solid-phase extraction is suitable for extracting specific chemicals. GC/MS is generally used for characterizing the extract of a rubber composite because most components of the extract are volatile and have low molecular weights. Identification methods of chemical structures of the components separated by GC column were also introduced.

The present study evaluated the antioxidant activity, skin wrinkle reduction, and whitening activity of Pinus koraiensiscone scale extracts made with three different solvents (ethanol, supercritical fluid, and a mixture of both). Total polyphenol content was 11.03 mg/g GAE in the supercritical fluid extractand 33.79 mg/g GAE in the 70% ethanol extract. Electron donating ability of 1,000 ㎍/mL extract was 13.60% in the supercritical fluid extract, 91.37% in 70% ethanol extract, and 71.62% in mixed solvent extract. SOD-like activities in 100 ㎍/mL extract using supercritical fluid, 70% ethanol, and mixed solvents were 16.49%, 21.84%, and 10.7%, respectively. The ABTS⁺ radical scavenging activities of 1,000 ㎍/mL extract were 38.19%, 80.23%, and 78.72%for supercritical fluid extract, 70% ethanol extract, and mixed solvent extract, respectively. Tyrosinase inhibitory activities in 1,000 ㎍/mL extract were 24.54%, 36.55%, and 15.23% for supercritical fluid extract, 70% ethanol extract, and mixed solvent extract, respectively. Elastase inhibitory activities in 1,000 ㎍/mL extract were 15.62%, 22.56%, and 26.64% for supercritical fluid extract, 70% ethanol extract, and mixed solvent extract, respectively. Skin astringent activity (81.23% with 5000 ㎍/mL extract) was only detected in the 70% ethanol extract. Supercritical fluid and mixed solvent extracts showed no such activity. Our analysis of Pinus koraiensiscone scale extracts show that the highest aggregate activity was found in the 70% ethanol extract, followed by mixed solvent and supercritical fluid extracts. Therefore, our results oppose the hypothesis stating supercritical extract has the highest total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity.

This study was intended to provide basic data for a health functional food study by exploring antioxidant activity of reflux extract according to the concentration of ethanol and the extract of ultrasonic waves extracted and reflux extracted under the same solvent conditions. In the same solvent condition, the reflux extract ($75.10{\pm}1.99mg$) showed a higher total phenol content than the ultrasonic wave extract ($51.74{\pm}2.28mg$). Flavonoids also had a higher reflux extract ($25.05{\pm}1.53mg$) than did ultrasonic extracts ($16.23{\pm}1.95mg$). Reflux extract according to ethanol concentration was found to have a higher phenol content than the 70% ethanol extract ($40.60{\pm}1.49mg$) in 60% ethanol extract. Flavonoid content was also similar to phenol content in reflux extract as determined by ethanol concentration from 60% ethanol ($25.05{\pm}1.53mg$) to 70% ethanol extract ($6.60{\pm}0.46mg$). In addition, the antioxidant activity (DPPH, TEAC, FRAP, ORAC) of the reflux extract in the same solvent conditions tended to be higher than that of ultrasonic extracts. Also, 60% ethanol extract had better antioxidant activity than 70% ethanol extract. However, an analysis of phenolic acid content through HPLC showed that the ultrasonic extract had a higher content in the same solvent condition than did the reflux extract. Not only the presence of phenolic acid, but also those of other compounds are believed to be attributed to the activity of antioxidants. Therefore, further studies are needed to clarify this phenomenon.

Antioxidant activities of grape seeds extracted with various solvents were evaluated by measuring total phenol and flavanol contents, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) following lipid peroxidation, 2-deoxyribose degradation, SOD-like activity, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthizaoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical-scavenging ability, and electron-donating ability using 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycryl hydrazil (DPPH) method. Total phenol and flavanol contents of mixted-solvent extracts were higher than those of single-solvent extracts, with the mixing ratio of 17:3 (ethyl acetate: water) (EW) showed the highest contents. Antioxidant activities (%) of TBARS following phosphatidylcholine peroxidation were 14, 45, 45, 7, 4, 25, 21, 23, and 20% for ascorbic acid (AA), butylated hyroxytoluene (BHT), quercetin (Q), acetone extract (AT), ethyl acetate (EA) extract, methanol (MeOH) extract, 4:1 (EA) extract, 9:1 (EW)-extract, and 17:3 EW extract, respectively. Antioxidant activities for 2-deoxyribose degradation were 5, 80, 87, 78, 56, 73, 64, 60, and 75% in AA, BHT, Q, AT, EA, MeOH extract, 4:1 EW extract, 9:1 EW extract, and 17:3 EW extract, respectively. MeOH grape seed extract showed distinctly stronger electron-donating activity than other solvent extracts.

This study explores the antioxidant activities of solvent extracts from Rhus verniciflua, and the results were as follows. Total phenolic compound and flavonoid contents of Rhus verniciflua were $4.32{\pm}0.17$ mg/100 g and $0.16{\pm}0.02$ mg/100 g, respectively. Electron-donating abilities of solvent extracts from Rhus verniciflua proportionally increased with concentration, and ethyl acetate extract ($95.4{\pm}0.4%$) showed higher activity than that of BHT ($93.3{\pm}1.7%$) at a concentration of 1,000 ${\mu}L$/mL. Reducing power of the solvent extracts from Rhus verniciflua was the highest in ethyl acetate extract ($2.45{\pm}0.03$) at a concentration of 1,000 ${\mu}L$/mL. Nitrite scavenging ability of the solvent extracts from Rhus verniciflua (pH 1.2, 1,000 ${\mu}L$/mL) was the highest in ethyl acetate extract ($95.5{\pm}0.7%$). Therefore, ethyl acetate extract from Rhus verniciflua has similar antioxidant activity as that of BHT.

The antioxidant activity of solvent extracts isolated from barley leaves was investigated by measuring peroxide value. The fractions of methanol extract obtained from preparative TLC was also studies, with UV-Visible spectrum, total phenol contents and hydrogen donating ability(HDA) The antioxidant activity of various solvent extracts was, in decreasing order, methanol> ethyl ether> methylene chloride $\geq$ ethyl acetate $\geq$acetone> hexane. The antioxidant activity of the fractions of methanol extract was, in decreasing order, fraction 2> fraction 3> fraction 1 and their activity was all superior to that of tocopherol at 500 ppm level. All fraction(1, 2 and 3) exhibited a strong UV absorption at 280 m which would be specifically produced by phenolic compound. UV absorption at 280 m of fraction 2 was greater than those of fraction 1 and 3. In the visible spectrum of these fractions, the maximum .absorption wavelengths of fraction 1, 2 and 3 were 660, 460 and 460 m, respectively. Antioxidant activity of barley leaves seemed to be due to the flavonoids containing phenolic group by UV spectrum and total phenol content.

Recovery of aromatics in extract phase which was obtained by batch equilibrium extraction between light cycle oil(LCO) and dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO) solution as solvent was investigated by re-extraction. To select the most suitable re-extraction solvent for recovery of aromatics in extract phase, distribution equilibrium was measured between extract phase and solvents. The solvents used were benzene(B), toluene(T), m-Xylene(mX), n-hexane(Hx) and n-hexane(Hx) and n-Octane(Ot). From the distribution coefficients and yields of aromatics, Hx seemed to be the most suitable. Furthermore, effects of operation parameters for re-extraction of aromatics in the extract phase were studied by batch equilibrium re-extracion with Hx as solvent. Yields of aromatics were found to increase with increasing solvent/feed (extract phase) mass ratio(S/F), while distribution coefficients of aromatics were fixed irrespective of S/F used. Operating temperature did not affect distribution coefficients and yields of aromatics. Distibution coefficients and yields of naphthalene group(carbon numer : 10~12) increased with increasing cabon number. Mass transfer rates of aromatics were also measured with a batch stirred vessel.
