식품동결에 의한 품질손상에 있어 크게 영향을 미치는 인자 중의 하나가 체적변화에 의한 조직 파괴이므로 식육 및 과채류의 냉동시 내부압력에 따른 조직파괴를 방지하기 위한 기초연구로 다양한 동결방법에 따른 내부압력 변화에 대하여 조사한 결과, 급속 및 완만동결시 우육의 내부압력 변화 경향은 동결 직전에 급격히 상승한 후 동결 초기부터 최대빙결정생성대를 통과하는 동안은 급격히 감소하다가 다시 온도가 내려감에 따라 압력변화는 증가와 감소를 반복하여 상승하는 경향을 보여 주었고, 동결시의 내부압력 크기는 약 8~10 psig 수준이며, 내부압력의 변화 경향은 정지공기식보다 침지식에서 약 1 psig 정도 크게 나타났다. 냉동냉장시에 일어나는 내부압력의 상하변화는 돈육의 품온차가 ${\pm}1^{\circ}C$일 때, 시료중량에 따라 1.84~2.32 psig 정도의 내부압력 차가 반복적으로 발생됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 돈육의 해동시 내부압력은 해동 개시 후 급격히 상승하여 5분 이내에 최고압력에 도달한 이후에는 서서히 하강하였으며, 해동시에 발생한 내부압력의 값은 동결시의 내부압력 값보다도 대부분 크게 나타났다. 또한, 균온처리한 우육의 동결시 내부압력 값은 약 1~4 psig 수준으로 균온처리하지 않은 우육에 비하여 매우 적게 나타났으며, 동결소요시간도 약 10~20% 정도 짧게 나타났다. 그리고 균온처리 및 다양한 동결방법에 따른 동결식육의 조직과 냉동냉장 중의 품질변화를 비교 검토한 결과, 동결방법에 따른 드립손실율은 우육의 경우 정지공기식으로 처리한 시료는 타 처리구에 비해 계속 높게 나타났으며, 돈육은 우육에 비해 상대적으로 드립손실량이 적게 나타났으나 송풍식으로 처리한 시료에서 저장 40일째, 7.39%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 동결 우육 및 돈육의 pH변화는 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내지 않았으며, VBN 및 TBA값에 있어서는 균온 처리한 시료가 완만 및 급속동결 처리한 타 시료에 비해 저장 200일까지 가장 변화가 없었다. 동결저장온도의 상하변동에 있어서는 온도변동 횟수가 증가할수록 pH 및 수분함량은 뚜렷한 변화가 없었으나 드립손실율, VBN 및 TBA값은 온도 변동횟수가 증가할수록 서서히 증가하는 경향을 보여 주었다.

This study analyzed effects of packaging materials and storage temperature on the shelf-life of Korean grinded yam. For experimental measurement, experimental groups were used $PET(12{\mu}m)/Al(9{\mu}m)/LLDPE(60{\mu}m)$ as opaque barrier packaging material and $PET(12{\mu}m)/PE(20{\mu}m)/VM-PET(12{\mu}m)/PE(25{\mu}m$) and barrier $NY(15{\mu}m)/LLDPE(60{\mu}m$) as transparent barrier packaging material. Control group were used normal $NY(15{\mu}m)/LLDPE(65{\mu}m)$. The grinded yam stored at refrigeration temperature ($5^{\circ}C$) and room temperature ($20^{\circ}C$C) for 8 days. Changes in color, pH, viscosity, microorganisms and sensory characteristics were measured. In the grinded yam L and ${\Delta}E$ value were not changed rapidly at refrigeration temperature. However L and ${\Delta}E$ were rapidly changed in all of packaging materials at room temperature. In two temperature condition, pH and viscosity were decreased during storage but pH was increased at $5^{\circ}C$ after 4 days. PET/Al/LLDPE and PET/PE/VM-PET/PE inhibited the growth of microorganisms effectively. PET/AL/LLDPE which is a high barrier packaging material showed the best in two temperature condition.

Studies were carried out to develope the most economical and practical methods of packaging and preservation of kimchi, so commercialization of kimchi manufacture could proceed rapidly. The results obtained may be summarized as following. (1) It is generally established that the acceptable range of lactic acid content of kimchi is between 0.4% and 0.75%. Based on sensory evaluation, kimchi having lactic acid content below 0.4% and above 0.75% was not edible, and the time of optimum taste corresponded to the vicinity of 0.5% of lactic acid content. For the refrigeration storage with or without preservatives, the packaging kimchi in plastic film must be done at the lactic acid content of 0.45%, for lactic acid fermentation will continue slowly after the packaging. However, for the heat sterilized kimchi the packaging should be done at the 0.5% of lactic acid content for the best because lactic acid fermentation is completely stopped after the packaging. (2) Polyethylene, polypropylene, and polycello were chosen as suitable packaging materials. Polyethylene is cheapest among them but kimchi packaged in this film was damaged frequently in handling process and gave off kimchi flavor. On the other hand polypropylene also gave off kimchi flavor, but its higher mechanical strength gave better protection to kimchi and it had superior display effect due to the transparancy. Therefore polypropylene made much better packaging material. Polycello proved to be the best packaging material from the standpoint of physical characteristics but its price is higher than that of other plastic films. To be effective, the thickness of plastic films for packaging kimchi must exceed 0.08mm. (3) Keeping property of kimchi appeared to be excellent by means of freezing. However, by the time the frozen kimchi was thawed out at room temperature, moisture loss due to drip was extensive, rendering the kimchi too stringy. (4) Preservation of kimchi at refrigerated temperatures proved to be the best method and under the refrigerated condition the kimchi remained fresh as long as 3 months. The best results were obtained when kimchi was held at $0^{\circ}C$. (5) In general, preservatives alone were not too elective in preserving kimchi. Among them potassium sorbate appeared to be most effective with the four fold extension of self-life at $20^{\circ}C$ and two fold extension at $30^{\circ}C$. (6) In heat sterilization the thickness of packaged kimchi product had a geat effect upon the rate of heat penetration. When the thickness ranged from 1.5 to 1.8cm, the kimchi in such package could be sterilized at $65^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes. Kimchi so heat treated could be kept at room temperature as long as one month without apparent changes in quality. (7) Among combination methods, preservation at refrigerated and heat sterilization could be favorably combined. When kimchi was stored at $4^{\circ}C$ after being sterilized at $65^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes, it was possible to preserve the kimchi for more than 4 months.

In this study, we examined the conditions for an auto-aging system placed within a kimchi refrigerator for optimal fermentation, and to prolong the storage time of kimchi. Various characteristics of kimchi fermented at different temperatures ($5-23^{\circ}C$) were compared. We observed that the higher the fermentation temperature, the less desirable the overall acceptability of the product. To establish the time point in which to convert the fermentation mode to the storage mode, kimchi was stored at $-1^{\circ}C$ for 1 week once it reached the designated acidity (0.4, 0.6, and 0.8%). The results indicated that the lower the kimchi acidity, the higher the sensory score. The storage temperature of $-1^{\circ}C$ was not low enough to retard microorganism growth completely; however, the kimchi stored at $-2{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ became frozen. Accordingly, $15^{\circ}C$ and $-2{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ are suggested as the fermentation and storage temperatures for the kimchi refrigerator, respectively. A kimchi acidity of 0.4% can be used as an index for the time point to convert fermentation to storage. Subsequently, the time required for the fermentation course can be calculated based on this.

The UHT treatment and consequent storage effect on nutritional value of milk are discussed. Compared with the conventional sterilization the UHT treatment of milk represents a relatively small thermal stress. During UHT processing, nutritive value of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fat-soluble vitamins and minerals are generally unaffected. Nutritive value of some water soluble vitamins and protein are adversely affected in a small degree during storage. It has been recommended that UHT milk has best nutritional and organoleptic qualities on storage under refrigeration. Some unsolved future problems are also suggested.

본 연구는 단기 숙성형 생햄의 식중독균 오염 상태와 냉장 및 실온 저장 중 미생물 및 관능학적 품질 변화를 살펴보기 위하여 실시되었다. 생햄의 초기 총균수는 3.06 log CFU/g이었으며 저장 말기까지 균 수 증가는 미미하였다. 주 종균은 유산균과 Staphylococcus 균이었다. 10과 $25^{\circ}C$의 저장 온도에서 생햄의 저장 수명은 각각 75와 45일 정도로 예상되었다. 본 실험에서 생햄 원료 및 저장 중 단지 $25^{\circ}C$에서 21일 저장된 시료에서 C. perfringens가 검출되었고 다른 시료에서는 비가열육제품의 위생 기준으로 명시된 6가지 식중독균은 검출되지 않았다. 종합적으로 판단하건데 현실적으로 비가열 제품의 경우 국내 식중독 미생물에 대한 음성 기준을 만족시키기는 어렵고 외국 기준에 비하여 너무 엄격하므로 관련 기준의 완화가 요구된다.

A diffusion absorption refrigerator is a heat-generated refrigeration system. It uses a three-component working fluid consisting of the refrigerant (ammonia), the absorbent (water) and the auxiliary gas (hydrogen or helium). In this study, experimental investigations have been carried out to examine the effects of charging conditions of working fluids on the evaporating temperature for diffusion absorption refrigerator. Experimental parameters considered in the present experiments are charging concentration, solution charge and system pressure determined by auxiliary gas charged. As a result, in the charging condition of 35% of concentration and 20 kg$_{f}$cm$^2$ of system pressure, the system has the lowest evaporating temperature. It was found that there exists a minimum value of solution charge for the operation of diffusion absorption refrigerator.r.

An invistigation was carried out to study the effects of heat treatment of garlic and storage temperature of garlic extracts on functional properties of garlic extracts. The garlic was heated at 40, 60, 80, 100, $120^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes and extracted with 50% ethanol. The extracts were stored at 4, 25 and $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 days, and then electron donating ability(EDA), nitrite-scavenging effects(NSE) and total thiosulfinates contents were determined. Among the functional properties, total thiosulfinates were rapidly reduced as the heating and storage temperature increased. The total thiosulfinates in the extracts were not detected for those heat-treated at 100 and $120^{\circ}C$. The EDAs were also decreased to almost half of their initial level by heat treatment of garlic at higher temperature than $80^{\circ}C$ while NSE was decreased a little. As the storage temperature increased, EDA and thiosulfinate contents decreased. Particularly the thiosulfinates were ditected none after 11 days of storage at $25^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$. Therefore, mild heat treatment of garlic at lower temperature than $60^{\circ}C$ and storage at refrigerated condition are recommendable for preparation and storage of garlic extracts.

In this paper, the thermoacoustic refrigerating system was implemented and its operation was experimentally verified. The system is composed of several parts ,4 inch midrange speaker, speaker housing, chamber, stack housing, stack of plates, heat exchangers, thin pipe and cavity. The system is filled with He gas at 10 bar and contains T-type thermocouples and condenser microphone for measuring the temperature and pressure inside, respectively. In addition, cooling water is used for protecting speaker from thermal destruction and cooling down the hot heat exchanger. For the experimental verification of the implemented refigerating system, electrical impedance and resonance characteristics were measured. The results showed that it was most efficient to drive the system at 340 Hz. When operated at 340 Hz, $30^\circ{C}$ environments and 50 electical watts, the temperature of the cold region decreased by $16^\circ{C}$. The dissatisfaction mainly comes from the incomplete thermal insulation of the cold region. We also pointed out some guidelines to improve the performance for later study.
