To make an automated system for a salt field, it is necessary to measure the salinity and water level of the evaporation site. In this paper, a method to simultaneously measure the salinity and water level by measuring the buoyancy forces of two fixed buoyancy bodies is proposed. The proposed measurement method measures the buoyancy of the main part and reference part when the measuring device is immersed in the salty water, and simultaneously measures the salinity and water level through the sum and difference of the two buoyancy forces. Since there is no mechanical movement in the measurement of buoyancy, measurement errors and maintenance needs can be reduced in the mudy environment of salt field. By applying the proposed method, we developed a system that can simultaneously measure salinity and water level remotely at the evaporation site of a salt field. Through a measurement experiment using a reference salty water having various levels of salinity, the results of a salinity error of 0% and a water level error of 2mm were obtained, and the effectiveness of the proposed salinity and water level measuring device was verified. When an automated system is constructed using the developed salinity and water level measuring device, labor reduction, work environment improvement, and productivity improvement are expected.

An immersion-type on-line refractometer useful for the in-situ measurement of salinity and temperature of sea water is developed, and its performance is examined by applying the refractometer to known salt solution having salt concentration between 2 and 4 % similar to practical sea water salinity. Since refractive index and temperature are measured simultaneously, it is possible to compensate the effect of temperature for fast and direct measurement. The outcome of salinity measurement for the different concentrations of salt solution indicates that the device is suitable for the salinity measurement by yielding stable and reproducible reading.

This study was conducted to demonstrate the manufacturing process for producing high-quality solar salt. The design criteria of the manufacturing process, which was studied in a previous study, was applied to an actual manufacturing system to evaluate its performance. The design factors applied were the drying air temperature and the temperature of the washing water. They were 100℃ or less and 10℃ or less, respectively. Two standards were applied to the process performance evaluation. Standard (I) was the international food standard for solar salt, and standard (II) was the quality standard for high-quality solar salt production. The main quality evaluation items were the moisture content and salinity, and the color characteristics were also measured (p<0.05). The manufacturing process of solar salt consisted of five steps, and the quality change was measured for each step. The measured quality was appropriate to the standard (I) from the third-step process. In addition, the quality of the high-quality solar salt was suitable for the standard (II) from the fourth-step process. Therefore, the performance of the proposed solar salt production process met international standards. The improvements in the production of high-quality solar salt will improve international competitiveness in the future.

An on-line refractrometer made of easily obtainable materials is built to determine the salinity and temperature of sea water, and its performance is examined by applying the refractometer to known salt solution. Since refractive index and temperature are measured simultaneously, it is possible to compensate the effect of temperature for accurate measurement. The outcome of salinity measurement for the different concentrations of salt solution indicates that the device is suitable for the salinity measurement by yielding stable and reproducible reading.

The effects of bamboo salt on quality of traditional Jeju fermented fish, $Jari-Jeot$ were investigated. Bamboo salt suppressed the activity of microorganism more effectively than salt. pH of $Jari-Jeot$ prepared with both of salt and bamboo salt increased gradually during storage. During fermentation there were little changes in color between salt and bamboo salt fermented $Jari-Jeot$. Salinity did not show obvious differences between samples. Water content increased in salt and bamboo salt fermented $Jari-Jeot$ due to the decrease of salinity. Hypoxanthine was the major component of ATP-related compounds in both salt and bamboo salt fermented $Jari-Jeot$. In $Jari-Jeot$ fermented with salt or bamboo salt, lysine, glutamic acid, proline, alanine, leucine, isoleucine, arginine and histidine were dominant amino acids which marked 69%~74% of total free amino acids, while trace amounts of taurine were detected.

Mineral contents of various salts were determined by the ICP-OES method. Bamboo salt (baked 9 times) contained more potassium, calcium, magnesium, and manganese, compared to purified and solar salts. Bamboo salt had a pH of 11.04, higher than those of purified (6.29) and solar (9.13) salts. Contents of [$OH^-$] were measured by using the FT-IR spectra. Bamboo salt exhibited higher reduction potential and contained more OH groups than purified and solar salts. The reduction peak of bamboo salt was observed to be about three times broader than that of solar salt in terms of redox potential amperometry. At a salt concentration of 25%, bamboo salt showed higher radical scavenging activities (81.4%) than solar (5.0%) and purified (2.0%) salts, as evaluated by DPPH assay. Bamboo salt revealed alkaline property, more OH groups and antioxidative activity.

As a basic study to develop low-salted fermented anchovy, rates of salt penetration into anchovy muscle, patterns of protein degradation and changes in water activity and transfer was analyzed after brining at various salt (NaCl) concentration. The salt penetration curves followed first order. kinetics. The rate constant (k) increased from 0.018 (10% NaCl solution) to 0.051 (saturated). Water activity was reduced from 0.93 (10% NaCl solution) to 0.77 (saturated). Protein degradation during brining was Somewhat occurred in 10% NaCl solution but not in satutrated solution. Water content of anchovy muscle were 74% (w/w), 65% and 58% when 10%, 20% and saturated NaCl solution were used, respectively. This result indicated that as NaCl content of brining solution was increased, the amount of water transfer also occurred. Weight of anchovy increased at 10% NaCl solution and decreased at 20% and saturated NaCl solution. The loss of anchovy solid mash during brining was calculated as 30% after 36 hr brining.

작물의 최대 수확을 위한 관개계획은 작물의 수분장력 스트래스와 삼투스트래스를 최소화 시킬 수 있도록 언제 얼마의 물을 어떤 속도로 공급해 줄 것인가를 결정하는 것이다. 이는 토양, 작물 및 대기의 여러 가지 요소를 측정하여 결정할 수 있다. 관개속도는 주로 토양의 투수계수에 의하여 결정되지만 관개시간과 양은 토양함수량과 경우에 따라서는 토양염도에 의하여 결정된다. Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)는 한 개의 탐침으로 토양 함수량과 토양염도를 동시에 측정하는 새로운 기법이다. TDR의 측정원리와 상업용 TDR장비에 대하여 자세히 설명하였다. TDR 탐침의 간격, 직경 및 길이의 제한요소를 토양함수량과 전기전도도의 함수로 나타내었다. 토양 columm 및 현장에서의 TDR 전극 삽입과 케이블테스터의 신속한 분리기법과 토양층에 TDR 탐침을 영구히 설치하는 기법에 대하여 자세히 설명하였다.
