This study investigated the effects of conventional predrying and modified atmosphere (MA) on the head quality and storability of Chinese cabbage 'Norang' cultivar. Immediately after harvest, heads were predried for 2 days and MA stored in $50{\mu}m$ PE film packages at $4^{\circ}C$. MA packaging restrained Hunter L and b values of Chinese cabbage more effectively than non-packaging during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. But there was little change between the two treatments. Fresh weight decreased less in heads treated with predrying and MA than non-treatment during storage. Predried Chinese cabbage heads kept a high level of soluble solids in 4 weeks of storage, while non-packaging maintained high contents of soluble solids for 6 weeks of storage period. Chinese cabbage heads contained 7.0 mg/gFW glucose, 6.3 mg/gFW fructose, and 0.6 mg/gFW sucrose as major soluble sugars at harvest. The content of sugars decreased immediately after predrying and increased steadily after 2 weeks storage. It was found inappropriate to assess head quality of Chinese cabbage by investigating was investigated by Hunter a, firmness, dry matters content, pH, and soluble sugars after predrying and MA package. Marketability of Chinese cabbage was lost when heads were stored at room temperature in 2 weeks. It showed poor appearance of heads stored at $4^{\circ}C$ in 7 weeks. Decay occurred in Chinese cabbage stored in MA under excessive relative humidity. Predried head showed good appearance during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 7 weeks. As a result, Chinese cabbage heads can be successfully stored for at least 7 weeks with predrying and MA storage.

Physicochemical properties were evaluated for stored garlic bulbs during 9 months under different conditions, such as low-temperature condition (3${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$, 80${\pm}$5% RH, LT), pit-temperature condition (9${\pm}$6$^{\circ}C$, 80${\pm}$5% RH,PT) and ambient-temperature condition (14${\pm}$11$^{\circ}C$, 67${\pm}$5% RH, AT). The internal sprout development was more significant in pit and ambient conditions than in low temperature and thus certain means for sprout control is required for long-term storage of garlic bulbs under such conditions. The rates of rotting and weight loss were appreciable especially after 7 months of storage (next March) in the order of PT, AT and LT, when external sprouts were observed in PT and AT. Moisture content of stored samples were relatively constant in LT until next May, but that in W and AT was significantly reduced after next January. Total sugars showed a decreasing tendency with the prolonged period, whereas an apparent increase was found in the contents of reducing sugar and vitamin C along with external sprouting of garlic bulbs from the 7th month of storage (next March). Based on the results that around March is a limiting point in garlic storage at such conditions from the physiological and physicochemical points of view, improved storage condition should be applied to overcome the storage barrier.

벼 저장에 영향을 주는 중요한 인자는 벼의 수분함량, 온도 및 습도이고, 이 이외에 생리적 현상으로서 곡물 자체의 호흡작용으로 인한 발열현상과 생물학적 요인으로는 해충, 미생물, 쥐 등이 있다. 따라서 저장성을 높이고 고품질로 유지하기 위해서는 저장 시 환경조건이 중요하며 현재 국내 환경에 적합한 벼 저장시설을 개발하기 위한 연구가 다각도로 진행되고 있다. (Kim 등, 1999, Keum 등, 2000) 일본의 경우 북해도 지역에서 자연냉기로 벼를 냉각시켜 곡온을 저온으로 유지하면서 고품질로 장기간 콘크리트 사이로에 저장하는 기술을 개발하여 보급하고 있다. (천촌주삼, 2000) (중략)

This study was carried out to determine the storage, cryotolerance, heat and drying resistance, when Lactobacillus acidophilus CT 01 isolated from preweaned piglet feces growing at suboptimal temperature. L. acidophilus CT 01 suboptimal temperature incubated for 48 hours had the slowest growth rate at 22℃ but the highest viable cell number after 36 hours at 22℃, with 1.3×10/sup 9/ CFU/mL. In case of 4 and 20℃ storage, the suboptimal temperature incubated groups had a viability higher than the control (p<0.01). The cryotolerance of suboptimal temperature incubated L. acidophilus CT 01 was a higher than the control (p<0.01). When L. acidophilus CT 01 was heat treated at 60℃ for 15 minutes and 30 minutes, the suboptimal temperature incubated L. acidophilus CT 01 at 22℃ had a viability higher more than the control (p<0.01). L. acidophilus CT 01 incubated suboptimal temperature was inoculated by 30% to the carrier, and dried at 50℃ for 12 hours had the highest viability in the suboptimal temperature incubated L. acidophilus CT 01 at 28℃.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of mature stages on quality of Rafito tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) during storage at low temperature. Tomatoes grown in greenhouse were harvested at three different mature stages (turning, pink, and red), packaged with a 30-${\mu}m$-thick polyethylene film, and then stored at 5 and $10^{\circ}C$, respectively. The changes in firmness, soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), colour, lycopene content, decay, and chilling injury were measured on a weekly basis. After three weeks of storage, chilling injury and decay were found to have individually occurred at 5 and $10^{\circ}C$, respectively. As there was little change in quality at $5^{\circ}C$, it was concluded that red tomatoes could maintain their good quality for two weeks. The normal postharvest ripening was inhibited in the turning and pink tomatoes during storage at $5^{\circ}C$. The turning and pink tomatoes showed improved quality after two-week storage at $10^{\circ}C$. In particular, the turning fruits showed the highest firmness throughout the storage period. Furthermore, the red colour, SSC/TA, and lycopene content of the turning fruits reached the same levels as with the red fruits after two-week storage at $10^{\circ}C$. These results suggest that red tomatoes should be stored at $5^{\circ}C$ to inhibit decay, and that the optimum temperature for early-harvested tomato (turning and pink) is $10^{\circ}C$ for the ripening process after harvest.

The effect of chitosan and cacium treatment on the quality of satsuma mandarin(Citrus unshiu Marc. var. miyagawa) during storage were investigated. Citrus fruits treated with 2000-folds diluted iminoctadime-triacetate solution or 1.5% chitosan with 0.5% CaCl$_2$ solution were stored at 4$\^{C}$ and 87$\pm$3% relative humidity, and room temperature without humidity control. Decay ratio of chitosan and calcium treated fruits were lower than the ones with no treatment from the mid of February. Also, citrus fruits treated with chitosan and calcium treated less in weight loss, that seems it was derived from restraining of fruits' transpiration. Soluble solids were maintained higher level in chitosan and calcium treated fruits than with no treatment during the storage. Acid contents were decreased gradually lower in cold storage than in room temperature storage, and there was not showed consistent trend among treatments. 26 kinds of free amino acids among 45 standards such as glutamic acid, threonine, serine, alanine γ-amino buryric acid, aspragine and etc were detected in Citrus unshiu Marc. var. miyagawa. As the storage time was prolonged, free amino acid was disappeared more or less, and the deccreasing extent was less in 4$\^{C}$ than in room temperature storage.

Livestock manure is a significant source for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, and a huge amount of GHG emission is generated during its storage. In the present work, lowering temperature was attempted to mitigate methane ($CH_4$) emission from cattle manure (CM) with high solid content. CM was stored for 60 d at $15-35^{\circ}C$ ($5^{\circ}C$ interval). $CH_4$ emission reached $63.6{\pm}3.6kg\;CO_2\;eq./ton\;CM$ at $35^{\circ}C$, which was reduced to $51.6{\pm}1.8$, $24.1{\pm}4.4$, $14.9{\pm}0.5$, and $3.7{\pm}0.1kg\;CO_2\;eq./ton\;CM$ at 30, 25, 20, and $15^{\circ}C$, respectively. After storage, 30% of COD reduction was observed in the CM stored at $35^{\circ}C$, while the COD removal decreased to only 6% at $15^{\circ}C$. It was found that only 3-11% of COD removal was done by anaerobic process, while the rest of COD removal was done by aerobic biological process. Methanobrevibacter and Methanolobus were found to be the dominant species in the CM, and the dominance of Methanolobus psychrophilus increased at lower storage temperature. Specific methanogenic activity test results showed that the inhibition by low temperature was temporal.
