| * Research Concerning the Features |
| 1)The Sedative Effects of Stress by Essential Oils Purified from Softwoods : |
| The essential oils from Pinus Koraiensis and Chamaecyparis obtusa have the sedative effect of stress by lowering the concentration of cortisol in mice induced by electric stimuli.

| 2) The Effects of Conifer Needle Odor and White Noise on P200 during Visual-spatial Detection Tasks : |
| The behavioral task performance in white noise condition was more accurate than that in control condition.
In white noise condition, behavioral performance was increased. P200 evoked in conifer needles and white noise were interpreted as early information processing or attention.

|
| 3) The Antifungal Activity of Coniferous Needle Oil : |
| The vapor of pine needle oil exhibited comparatively high antifungal activity. After minimization of the vapor effect, the activity of Chamaecyparis obtusa needle oil mixed in PDA was equal to those of copper sulfate.
Dept. of Forest Chemistry, Forestry Research Institute, Korea
|
| 4) The Availability of Essential Oils from 7 Conifer Needles as an Air Freshener: |
| Every testee in the sensory evaluation test for the essential oils felt strong naturability, but there were significant differences in the sensitivity between sexualities.
Particularly, the essential oil from Pinus thunbergii and Chamaecyparis obtusa were evaluated as an excellent air freshener.
|
| 5) Fragrance Release and Sound Purification : |
| The release of a pleasant fragrance into the air has been proven to increase performance by increasing alertness as well as to help counter the effects of stress.
Disturbing noise can impede productivity by as much as 25% to 35%.
The sound purifier shields against distracting noise through the use of modified white noise, which masks external noise by emitting sound pattens which counter the energy contained in the sound waves of noise.
