Quality changes of fruit vegetables were investigated during simulated export and marketing to find out the optimum shipping temperature. Fruit vegetables were loaded into a small refrigerated-container and kept for four days at various temperatures, and fruit quality was assayed immediately after harvest, 4 days after storage and 4 days after marketing at ambient temperature. In 'Back Seong Ilho' cucumber fruits, fresh weight loss was further reduced at $13^{\circ}C$ and $11^{\circ}C$ than at $15^{\circ}C$ and room temperature. Soluble solid contents remained at relatively lower levels when cucumbers were stored at $13^{\circ}C$ and $11^{\circ}C$. In 'Chun Ryang' eggplant fruits, fresh weight loss was greatly increased at all the temperatures (room, $12^{\circ}C,\;9^{\circ}C,\;and\;6^{\circ}C$). However, flesh browning, a primary quality factor of eggplant fruit, was most effectively inhibited at $9^{\circ}C$, whereas chilling injury occurred in fruit flesh at $6^{\circ}C$. Water loss of 'Eals Seinu' melon fruits was most inhibited and soluble solid contents at harvest were maintained for the longest period at $4^{\circ}C$. In 'Pe Pe' cherry tomatoes, storage at $10^{\circ}C$ and $7^{\circ}C$ seemed to more effectively inhibit metabolic changes and the incidence of cracking, the severest disorder than room temperature. But the fruits stored at $10^{\circ}C$ contained higher level of soluble solids than those at $7^{\circ}C$. The overall results suggest that the optimum shipping temperature range is 11 to $13^{\circ}C$ for cucumbers, around $9^{\circ}C$ for eggplant fruit, $4^{\circ}C$ for melons, and $10^{\circ}C$ for cherry tomatoes.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the variability of hypocotyl elongation of mungbean varieties. With four mungbean cultivars, which were classified as 4234-697 and Keumsungnogdu(long), Nampyungnogdu(Medium), and Seonhwanogdu(short), hypocotyl elong-ation was measured 4 to 6 days after seeding in paper towel at different temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30, and 35$^{\circ}C$). Hypocotyl elongation of mungbean seed stored at 5$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ for 6 months was compared with of seed stored at room temperature. As the temperature rises, the hypocotyl is longer. The hypocotyl elongation started immediately at high temperature, and longest at the range of 30 to 35$^{\circ}C$. The hypocotyl elongation became longer at the 5$^{\circ}C$ storage plot than at the room temperature plot. Correlation coefficient (r) between 100 seed weight and hypocotyllength are not significant.

현재 가장 범용적으로 사용되는 미생물 배양 용기인 Petri Dish는 배지 제조 후 냉장과 실온 보관 시수분 증발에 대한 보호 효과가 적어 세 달 이상 보관하기 어려운 단점이 있어 즉시 사용 배지(pre-plated media) 개발에 장애가 되고 있다. 본 연구는 미생물 배지의 장기 저장이 가능하도록 고안된 LOP plate의 수분 보호능에 관한 것으로, LB 배지를 표준 배지로 해서 4, 25, 32 및 $37^{\circ}C$ 네 개의 온도영역과 진공 포장 및 비 포장 조건에서 Petri Dish와 비교한 결과, 각 온도 조건별로 LOP의 탁월한 수분 보호능을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 향후 LOP를 이용한 장기 저장과 즉시 사용이 가능한 pre-plated media와 관련된 제품 개발이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The purposes of this study were to develop Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point-based standardized recipe applicable to cook/chilled Broiled Spanish Mackerel in school foodservice operations and to establish reasonable shelf-life limits by assessing food quality during chilled storage period of 5 days. HACCP for the production of menu items was identified in simulation study. At each critical control point, time-temperature profile was recorded and microbiological analysis was done. Also chemical analyses and sensory evaluation were conducted for 5 days of chilled storage. The results of time-temperature measurement of Broiled Spanish Mackerel by each production phase showed satisfactory condition that met the standards. Broiled Spanish Mackerel showed excellent microbiological quality from raw ingredient phase ($TPC:2.58{\pm}0.12\;Log\;CFU/g$) to holding phase ($TPC:2.70{\pm}0.42\;Log\;CFU/g$). Coliform (0.84 Log MPN/g) and fecal coliform (0.84 Log MPN/g) were detected from marinating phase ($TPC:3.82{\pm}0.52\;Log\;CFU/g$). After heating, only few mesophiles were detected ($TPC:1.83{\pm}0.49\;Log\;CFU/g$). No psychrophiles, coliforms and fecal coliforms were detected. In the phases after rapid chilling, during chilled storage and after reheating and distribution, almost none of the above microbes were detected. Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes were not detected in all production phases. The pH immediately after cooking was 6.65 and then increased significantly to 6.81 on the third day of chilled storage (p<0.001). Acid value did not show significant changes while total volatile based nitrogen (TVBN) dramatitically increased during storage periods (p<0.01). In the result of sensory evaluation, general acceptability points had been rated high in the first day of storage, and then, the points were decreased significantly on the third day (p<0.05). General acceptability points ranged from 8.86 to 10.68. Accordingly, Broiled Spanish Mackerel is highly recommendable cook/chill system. Considering the DHSS standards for storage, the ideal shelf-life recommended for Broiled Spanish Mackerel is within 4 days excluding cooking day. For Broiled Spanish Mackerel, critical control points were purchasing and receiving of frozen Spanish Mackerel, heating, chilling, chilled storage, reheating and distribution.

The effects of aging time (1, 8 and 15 days) and endpoints cooking temperature (70, 75 and $80^{\circ}C$) on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of pork neck were evaluated. Pork neck was obtained from the carcass (live weight, 105~110 kg ; grade B) chilled for 24 hours after slaughter. As a aging period became longer, the pH, L value and drip loss became higher while its a value and shear force value (SFV) of raw meat became lower. As a aging period became longer, the cooking loss, hardness, chewiness, SFV became lower, and its tenderness, juiciness and taste became better. However, no difference was observed in the aroma, and the one aged for 8 days in the cooked meat showed the best palatability. Increasing endpoint cooking temperature from 70 to $80^{\circ}C$ increased hardness, SFV and taste, and decreased chewiness, sensory tenderness and juiceness (p<0.05). However, it had no effect on the cohesiveness. Also, the one for which the endpoint cooking temperature became $75^{\circ}C$ in the cooked meat showed the best springiness, aroma and palatability.

We evaluated the quality characteristics of fresh-cut produce (potato, sweet potato, carrot, radish, zucchini, cucumber, and green bell pepper) washed with sodium hypochlorite, which were vacuum packaged, and stored at 4 and 10$^{\circ}C$. The L-values of the fresh-cut potato and sweet potato decreased during storage. Lower PPO activities of potato and sweet potato were observed at 4$^{\circ}C$ than those at 10$^{\circ}C$ and development of potato and sweet potato browning was delayed at 4$^{\circ}C$. Total aerobic count and coliform increased continuously at 10$^{\circ}C$ during storage. Diced zucchini and shredded sweet potato had the greatest reduction in hardness among the fresh-cut produce during storage. Differences in the rate of quality change were observed according to the kinds and cut types of produce. Thus, a quality maintenance period for each type of fresh-cut produce must be determined, which will lead to the safe use of fresh cut produce in foodservice establishments.

Many merchants have dealed in the salted shrimps(Saewoo -Jet) in Kwangcheon. They made the soil cave at headland on beach, so aged Saewoo-Jet in casks in soil cave with fitting temperature($13\~15^{circ}C$ and humidity($85\%$). Kwangcheon where it is gathering and scattering around the country have gained fame in its tastes and the freshness in Korea. Yu Myoun Won made the fresh starts Put it in this cave. Since 1949, the soil cave is used all the time. Ultimately this was getting warehouse business put the salted shimps since 1960. Today, this business is going down, and this warehouse is used for only the aged Period. As the alternative plan, many merchants focus on various fastivals, Saewoo-Jet special area plan, vessel improvement etc, and makes a wish to good sales. Folkway are Guldeagum-Je that they has done before digging the cave, Anteak(sods that care the family dwell in the house) and the October sacrifice have done on Gasin-Je in the soil cave. This cave has used as the refrigator when Saewoo-Jet come in the cave.

Arcobaeter butzleri is one of the aerotolerant Campylobaeter species which cause persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting in human. The aim of this study was to determine the growth and survival of A. butzleri under the heat treatment or freezing storage condition. In heat treatment, two Korean isolates of A. butzleri were treated at 40 to $80^{\circ}C$ for various times. In freeze treatment, two Korean isolates of A. butzleri were kept at 4, -20 and $-70^{\circ}C$ from 1 to 15 d. The survivability of the A. butzleri Korean isolates significantly decreased at higher than $60^{\circ}C$ heating condition but it didn't show any significant difference in $40^{\circ}C$ treated group. Under the cold stress condition, survivability of A. butzleri were significantly decreased at $-20^{\circ}C$ storage. Like other foodborne pathogens, survivability of A. butzleri was controlled by heat and freezing treatment.

A bacteriocin producing microorganism, which inhibits the growth of Lactobacillus sake, was screened and isolated from Kimchi. This microorganism was identified and named as Lactobacillus sp. Oh-B3, The maximum amount of bacteriocin was produced when the isolated microorganism was cultured in MRS media(pH 8.0) for 24 hours at 25℃. The bacteriocin from the isolated microorganism was purified through ammonium sulfate precipitation, dialysis and ultrafiltration. The bacteriocin was stable on the wide pH range of 2.0-9.0, and showed antimicrobial activity on some of gram positive bacteria, not on gram negative. The antimicrobial activity of bacteriocin was mostly removed by treatment of proteolytic enzymes. But, the bacteriocin was very stable on the heat treatment, and more than 50％ of activity was remained at autoclaving. The action mode of the bacteriocin showed bacteriocidal pattern, being same as that of general bacteriocins.

This experiment was carried out to study the optimal chilling period for breaking the physiological dormancy of dehisced E. senticosus seeds and to investigate the critical seeding date in Kangwondo. Storage at $5^{\circ}C$ for 85 days was most effective in breaking dormancy of dehisced seeds, but didn't germinated synchronously. Only 28.1% of undehisced seeds germinated after 125 days of low temperature storage. For improving seedling survival rate in the field, 50% shading was more effective than 30% shading. Delayed seeding date resulted in decreased seedling fresh weight, dry weight, leaf area and root length, but seeding date has no significant affecte on stem length.
