Physicochemical properties of onion powder as influenced by drying methods were investigated. Moisture contents of onion powder were 13.29%, 12.99%, and 10.78% for samples dried using hot-air dryer, freeze dryer, and vacuum dryer, respectively. There were no significant differences in crude fat, crude protein, and crude ash content (p>0.05) depending on the drying methods. Samples prepared by freeze drying showed a significantly higher L-value as compared with those prepared by hot-air and vacuum drying (p<0.05). Scanning electron micrographs showed that freeze drying produced smaller particle-sized sample which in turn resulted in the higher porosity of the sample. Freeze dried samples revealed significantly lower degree of rehydration than other samples (p<0.05) probably due to small particle size of the sample. Water solubility of freeze dried sample appeared to be higher than that of other drying methods while the swelling ratio of the same sample appeared to be lower than that of the others. Browning index was significantly lower in samples prepared by freeze drying (p<0.05) but not significantly different between samples dried by hot-air and vacuum drying. Vitamin C content was higher in freeze dried onion powder due to the lower temperature applied to the sample. Freeze dried onion powder contained significantly lower amount of total polyphenol and higher amount of total sugar as compared to other samples (p<0.05).

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of equilibration time, precooling and straw loading method on the post-thaw survival rates of mouse embryos cryopreserved by vitrification method. The effect of the vitrification procedure on the damage of the embryos was also examined by the straining of nuclei using Hoechst 33342. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The equilibration in Medium-1 for 10 minutes was considered to be the optimum equilibration time. Embryos equilibrated in Medium-1 for 10 minutes(81.0%) showed significantly(P<0.05) higher survival rates than those equilibrated for 5 minutes(40.0%) or 15 minutes(74.1%). 2. The survival rate of embryos cryopreserved using the double Medium-2 column(81.0%) was significantly(P<0.01) higher than that using the single Medium-2 column, whish was considered to be due to the double Medium-2 column method being more reliable for preventing contamination of diluent solution of 1M sucrose. 3. The survival rate of compacted morula stage embryos cryopreserved with the precooled and non-precooled Medium-2 was not significantly(P<0.05) different. 4. The number of blastomeres of embryos at late blastocyst stage after culture of mouse morulae for 24 to 28hours was significantly(P<0.05) decreased by freezing embryos using vitrification(53.3${\pm}$1.6 vs 41.4${\pm}$1.5), which was considered to be due to the damage of embryos during vitrification and the delay of embryo development by handling in vitro. 5. The vitrification procedure is considered to be a very simple and efficient method for cryopreservation of embryos at early developmental stage.

The antioxidative effect and quality characteristics of different drying methods (hot air drying, far-infrared radiation drying, vacuum freeze drying) from Schizandra Chinensis Baillon were investigated. The moisture contents and water activity(Aw) contents each 4.46% and 0.38 values of the vacuum freeze drying were lower than those of other samples. A significant not difference in pH values occurred in all samples (p<0.05). The highest content $^{\circ}brix$ vacuum freeze drying was $6.60^{\circ}Brix$ respectively. The turbidity values of the samples were hot air drying 8.24 T%, far infrared radiation drying 0.32 T%, vacuum freeze drying 71.85 T%. The Hunter's L, a and b values of vacuum freeze drying were higher than those of other samples. The order of the free sugar content was glucose>fructose>sucrose, and that of the total free sugar contents were vacuum freeze drying (6.33 g/100 g) > far infrared drying (5.01 g/100 g) > hot air drying (3.73 g/100g). Antioxidant acitivy (DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical scavenging) and total phenol, total flavonoid, and total tannin content was highest in vaccum freeze drying than other different drying methods except nitrite scavenging ability.

In this study, to increase the survival rate of frozen/thaw rooster semen, standard protocols of semen thawing procedures were tested by computer-assisted sperm assay (CASA). We tested 4 different thawing protocols for frozen semen, $5^{\circ}C$ for 2 min, $35^{\circ}C$ for 30 s, $54^{\circ}C$ for 13 s, and $70^{\circ}C$ for 7 s. The pooled semen from 5 to 8 Ogye rooster line was diluted in the HS-1 diluent and frozen in 8% methylacetamide (MA) in liquid nitrogen vapors. To determine standard thawing method, straws were plunged into different temperatures and times. The resulting motilities were recorded by the CASA system. The results of this study showed that the best viability of the spermatozoa was shown by exposure at $5^{\circ}C$ for 2 min. Moreover, the longevity test of thawed sperm at $5^{\circ}C$ for 2 min also supported the higher viability under low temperature preservation of $17^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. Further research is needed to increase the motility of thawed rooster semen for field application. In addition, the in vivo tests for different rooster lines are also needed for the establishment of avian genetic resource bank.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the freezing and thawing resistance of the existing drainage system for leakage treatment of underground concrete structures operating in cold regions. The freezing and thawing test was conducted on 4 types of drainage system specimens to evaluate the freezing and thawing resistance of the drainage system. The freezing and thawing resistance was evaluated on 4 types of Hotty-gel, as a waterproofing material, connection methods and on two methods to fix the drainage board with Hotty-gel on the surface of cement concrete specimen. One cycle of the freeze-thaw testing was 48 hours (24 hours of freezing and 24 hours of thawing), and the temperatures of freezing and thawing were at $-18^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$, respectively. Among the 4 types of Hotty-gel connection methods, leakage occurred after 28 cycles (8 weeks) of freeze-thawing only in the Hotty-gel connection method with the 'V' groove applied to the corner of the drainage board. No leakage occurred in the 3 types of Hotty-gel connection methods. In two fixing methods, leakage occurred in the method of fixing the drainage board on the cement concrete specimen using the washer, screw and plastic wall plug. Leakage occurred at one point after 10 cycles (3 weeks) of freezing and thawing. After 28 cycles (8 weeks) of freezing and thawing, leakage point increased to 5 points. As time passed, the leak point was not increased, but the amount of leakage was increased at each leak point. The Hotty-gel connection method with cross-sectional diagonal shape was evaluated to be the highest in the production efficiency considering the production time and manufacturing method of the Hotty-gel connection shape. In the construction efficiency considering the construction time and construction method, the fixing method of air nailer, fixed nail and washer was superior to that of the washer, screw and plastic wall plug.

Evaluation of the asphalt mixture modified with crumb rubber modifier(CRM) was performed to estimate possibility of using it as a paying material. OACs(optimum asphalt content) of CRM modified asphalt mixtures by dry process and wet process were determined by Marshall mix design and Wheel tracking test and moisture susceptibility test by freezing and thawing were carried out with CRM modified asphalt mixtures at OACs. The results from these tests, resistance of permanent deformation of CRM modified asphalt mixtures were superior to one of AP-5 while showing very low resistance of moisture sensitivity by freezing and thawing. This means that CRM modified asphalt mixtures are very sensitive to freezing and thawing. However, CRM modified asphalt mixture with anti-stripping material showed high improvement to resistance of moisture susceptibility by freezing and thawing. Therefore, it is recommended that when CRM mixtures were used in domestic, CRM modified asphalt mixtures should be with prevention against freezing and thawing resistance by moisture susceptibility.

The present study was undertaken to determine the changes of physicochemical and antioxidant activity using leaf and root in hot air-dried Allium hookeri (HA) and freeze-dried Allium hookeri (FA). The leaf of HA was higher level of moisture and crude fat compared with those of the leaf of FA. The crude fat content in root of HA was higher than that in FA. However, moisture, crude ash, crude protein and carbohydrate did not show any differences between two different drying methods. The organic acid contents of Allium hookeri root including oxalic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, formic acid, acetic acid showed the differences between hot air-drying and freeze-drying methods. The major minerals were Ca, K and Mg, which were higher level of the leaf of HA compared with those of FA. The leaf of HA showed the highest vitamin C content (801.65 mg/100 g). The content of vitamin E in the leaf of FA was higher than that of HA. The contents of total polyphenol and total flavonoid in the FA leaf were higher than that in HA. The DPPH radical-scavenging activity in leaf of HA (65.73%) was significantly higher than that of FA (57.73%).
