The effects of gamma irradiation on microbiological and physicochemical qualities in raw ingredients (thirteen kinds of cereal grain and their by-product) of mixed feeds were investigated. The total aerobic bacteria counts in the samples were $10^2\;to\;10^6/g$. They were sterlllzed to a undetectable level by 5 to 7 kGy irradiation. Coliforms were contaminated in high levels in all sample, ranging from $10^2\;to\;10^6/g$. They were radiation-llensitive and completely eliminated by irradiation with 3 to 5 kGy. Total fungi, ranging from $10^2\;to\;10^4/g$, mainly osmophiles were identified as Aspergillus and Penicillium. They were eliminated below identification limit by 5 to 7 kGy irradiation. Seven kinds of species, including Aspergillus IkrlJUB. were identified as a potential mycotoxin producers. Physicochemical qualities, such as total amino acid content, total sugar content. TBA value and color difference showed that an optimum dose of irradiation was less detrimental than ethylene oxide fumigation.

For the effective utilization of cellulosic biomass, conidial protoplast fusion between Aspergillus niger MAN-831(${\beta}-glucosidase$) and A. wentii MAW-538(CMCase and avicelase), which produced potently cellulolytic enzymes was carried out. Optimal conditions for formation and regeneration of protoplast were conidiospore age-5 dyuas. $2-DG-30\mu\textrm{g}/ml$, preincubation time-4 hours, osmotic stabilizer-0.7M KCl, novozyme(7mg/ml)＋driselase(2.5mg/ml) and reaction time of enzyme-5 hours. Optimal conditions for protoplast fusion were obtained by treatment of protoplasts with 15mM CaCl2 and 25% polyethylene glycol 4000(pH 6~7) as fusogenic agent at $36^{\circ}C$ for 25~30 minutes. The frequency was then $7.94{\times}10^{-4}$. CMCase, avicelase and ${\beta}-glucosidase$ activity of fusant F-208 strain was 1.5, 1.3, 1.2 times higher than those of parental strains, respectively.

Vitellogenesis, an important reproductive process in oviparous animals, includes the processes of hormonally regulated synthesis of yolk precursor protein, vitellogenin (Vg), and their deposition in ovarian oocytes as a vitellin which is an important energy source as well as buoyancy regulator of the egg. Vg genes consist of a gene family that encompasses a large number of lipoproteins and produce different Mr. Vg proteins in liver. The expression of Vg is largely dependent on the estrogen, and both reproductive cycle and temperature also influence Vg synthesis. Synthetic estrogens or estrogenic pollutants was sufficient to induce Vg in both sexes of oviparous vertebrates. Therefore, the estrogenic induction of vitellogenesis in male has been used for biological marker in the screening of estrogenicity of certain endocrine disrupting compounds and the monitoring the world-wide contamination of estrogenic compounds in wild life. In the studies on the biological hazard and influence of endocrine disrupting chemicals using the Vg induction in oviparous males, it is important to consider the reproductive cycle, zoogeography and biodiversity of the wild life animals in Korea.

The effects of packaging methods on the storage properities of salted Chinese cabbage were examinined during 3-week storage. The weights of salted Chinese cabbage decreased to 69-77% by water loss and salinities decreased from 2.6% to 2.0%, respectively. The pH decreased from 6.4 to 6.2 for 1- week storage in all cases, but the pH increased to 6.6 in non packaging(Non-P), maintained at 6.2 in PVC container packaging(PVC), and decreased continuously to 5.5 and 5.7 in LDPE packaging (LDPE) and HDPE packaging(HDPE), repectively for 3-week storage. Reducing sugars increased slightly for 1-week storage for the relative concentration effect by water loss, but decreased to 1.8% for 3-week storage because of the microbial fermentation. Cutting force increased in LDPE for the continuous osmosis phenomena but decreased in Non-P for the putrefaction. As the results, LDPE was found to be the most effective packaging method.

Ethylene oxide (E.O) fumigation and gamma irradiation were applied to comparative researches on the sterilizing effect and physicochemical quality of sound red and black peppers. The microorganisms contaminated in the sample, including total bacteria, aerobic spores, acid tolerant bacteria, fungi, osmophilic molds and coliforms were sterilized with irradiation doses of 7 10 kGy, while E.O fumigation in a commonly used condition proved insufficient for the destruction of them. Both treatments affected more or less chemical components of the sample, such as pungent principle, pigment, essential oils and volatile flavors, but the gamma irradiation at the doses for radurization and radicidation was shown to be safer than E.O fumigation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is conducting of predictive models that considered multicollinearity of independent variables in order to carry out more efficient and reliable predictions about differential pressure in seawater reverse osmosis. Methods: The main variables of each RO system are extracted through factor analysis. Common variables are derived through comparison of RO system # 1 and RO system # 2. In order to carry out the prediction modeling about the differential pressure, which is the target variable, we constructed the prediction model reflecting the regression analysis, the artificial neural network, and the support vector machine in R package, and figured out the superiority of the model by comparing RMSE. Results: The number of factors extracted from factor analysis of RO system #1 and RO system #2 is same. And the value of variability(% Var) increased as step proceeds according to the analysis procedure. As a result of deriving the average RMSE of the models, the overall prediction of the SVM was superior to the other models. Conclusion: This study is meaningful in that it has been conducting a demonstration study of considering the multicollinearity of independent variables. Before establishing a predictive model for a target variable, it would be more accurate predictive model if the relevant variables are derived and reflected.

The Quality characteristics of pH, ginsenosides, fatty acid, phenolic compounds were studied for their changes during growth of Candia parapsilosis. The yeast growth not only scarcely affected the total amount of saponins and ginsenosidvs of recd ginseng tail root extract, but also was not affected by the saponin C. pnrapsilosis did not utilize the ginsenosides as a carbon source. Glucose, fructose and free sugars were utilized in the initial phase of growth, whereas sucrose and maltose were used as the growth continued and completely redured after 43 hours of incubation. Unsaturated fatty acids were significantly reduced with cell growth, showing a relationship between unsaturated fatty acid content and the yeast growth, whereas the amount of saturate[1 tatty acids in red ginseng extract was not affected by the yeast growth. Generally, there were no changes in major organic acids and phenolic compounds (vanillie acid , m-coumaric acid) except the 50% reduction in maltol and ferulic acid in the ginseng extract. The amounts of amlno acids were gradually decreased, but that of arginine was remarkably reduced.

전북 서해안 새만금 지역에 조성되는 간척지 면적 28,300ha의 30%인 8,400ha 정도가 농업용지로 사용되는 계획이 확정됨에 따라 해당 용지를 효율적으로 사용 할 수 있는 다양한 활용 방안이 요구되고 있다. 대단위 농업지구가 들어설 예정지인 새만금 광활 간척지는 네덜란드와 유사하게 토양의 대부분이 미사질 양토로 이루어져있어 적용 가능한 화훼류를 적절히 선발하고 적합한 재배기술을 도입한다면 대규모 화훼제배 단지로서의 성장 가능성이 충분할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 전북 농업기술원에서는 2004년부터 7년에 걸쳐 새만금 간척지의 농업적 활용도 제고와 경관농업 육성을 통한 관광자원화 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 72종의 원예작물 적응시험을 실시하였으며 22종의 자생식물과 튤립, 아이리스, 수선화, 히아신스, 참나리 등 5종의 구근 화훼류를 적합 화훼류로 선발하였다. '08~09년에는 내염성과 저온 및 풍해 저항성이 있는 아펠톤, 골든아펠톤, 네그리타, 프랑소와즈, 키스네리스 등을 간척지적용 가능 주요 튤립 품종으로 선발 하였는데 선발된 품종들을 대상으로 높은 염농도 하에서의 체내축적 무기성분을 조사한 결과, K와 Mg은 증가되는 경향이었으나 Ca은 감소되었으며, Cl이온은 현저하게 증가하였다. 또한 튤립체내의 산도 및 전기전도도와 항산화효소의 활성이 증가하였는데 스트레스 반응결과 유해산소가 체내에 축적되고, 이를 중화시키기 위하여 수소이온을 소모함으로써 체내의 산도는 상승된 것으로 추정되며 염분함량이 높을수록 삼투압에 의하여 뿌리에서 흡수는 양분이 적은 반면 잎 줄기의 증산작용은 동일하기 때문에 상대적으로 체내의 농도가 높아져 전기전도도가 상승된 것으로 판단된다. 식물 스트레스의 지표물질로 사용되고 있는 proline 함량도 토양내의 염도가 상승되면서 증가되었으며 엽록소 함량은 감소되는 경향을 보였다.

Kochujang-gulbi, a traditional food in Chonnam province of Korea, was prepared with kochujang and dried gulbi slices. The crude lipid contents of kochujang and gulbi in the product were 3.08% and 15.6% at 0 day, respectively. After 7 days, the lipid contents were changed to 8.15% and 9.72%. The moisture content and VBN of kochujang and gulbi in the product were reached to the equilibrium after 7 days. In the kochujang-gulbi product, the TBARS value in gulbi was reduced because the lipid from gulbi permeated into kochujang, while the value in kochujang was increased. To prevent the growth of microorganisms and lipid oxidation from the kochujang-gulbi, 0.5% (w/v) garlic extract, citron essential oil, or ethanol was added to the product. The garlic extract and ethanol were very effective to inhibit the growth of mold and yeast at 2$0^{\circ}C$. The products treated with the garlic extract and citron oil were shown significantly lower microbial number than control for 30 days storage. The addition of citron oil to kochujang-gulbi showed lower TBARS value than other treatment.
