We evaluated the microbial safety and quality characteristics of Korean slice beef jerky, and investigated these properties over 28-day and 90-day storage periods at room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) and elevated temperature ($35^{\circ}C$). After microbial counts of all samples, mesophilic bacteria were detected at 1.23 Log CFU/g at day 0. Counts of mesophilic bacteria did not change significantly in all samples, and coliforms and Bacillus cereus were not detected in all samples during storage at either $25^{\circ}C$ or $35^{\circ}C$. TBA values, Aw, and pH were investigated. The Aw of korean slice beef jerky stored at room temperature was 0.71 at day 0, and was reduced to 0.61 after 90 days. The TBA value increased as storage time increased, and its TBA value was 0.48 after 90 days of storage. The pH of all samples did not change significantly. At $35^{\circ}C$ storage, TBA values, Aw, pH were not significantly different than those stored at $25^{\circ}C$. Also, the sensory properties of all samples were not significantly different between two storage temperatures. In conclusion, these results suggest Koran slice beef jerky ould be used as basic study for development of the commercial beef jerky.

An investigation on optimum condition for processing of salted-dried sardine and quality change of the product during the storage was carried out. The fillets of sardine were salted in 5, 10 and $15\%$ NaCl solution for 12, 24 and 36 hours at $9-10^{\circ}C$, respectively and air-blast dried at $24-25^{\circ}C$ with a velocity of 3 m/sec and then stored at room temperature for 30 days. The results were as follows : The optimum condition for the product was salting in $15\%$ NaCl solution for 36 hours as VBN and histamine contents were 27.5 mg/100g and 42.5 mg/100g, respectively, and also showed a good result in sensory evaluation. Histamine, VBN and TMA-N content of the dried fillets immediately after salting in $15\%$ NaCl solution for 36 hours increased to 47.8 mg, 29.5 mg and 5.4mg per 100g of the sample, respectively and increased slowly during the storage. The peroxide value and acid value of the lipid extracted from the product increased from 15.9 meq/kg to 114.0 meq/kg, and 12.6 to 30.5 during the storage. In the fatty acid composition, $C_{22:6}\;and\;C_{20:5}$ acids were decreased during the storage period.

To extend the freshness of late autumn Chinese cabbage, the packaging and loading effects on the quality were investigated during cold storage. Judging from overall quality during storage period, late autumn Chinese cabbage could be stored by 3 months at 0$\^{C}$ cold storage. However, late autumn Chinese cabbage was not acceptable for long-term storage because of its marketability and the storage cost. Among 3 packaging methods(PP-net, carton and plastic container) for stored Chinese cabbage, plastic container and carton were more effective than PP-net packaging for the freshness prolongation. Gas composition in the plastic bags during storage was not significantly different among packaging conditions and O$_2$ and CO$_2$ concentrations were 13∼18% and 0.75∼7.48%, respectively, MAP with plastic film was effective for the quality retention because of low oxygen composition and high humidity condition in the bags.

The effects of storage temperature and periods as pretreatments on direct somatic embryogenesis or shoot development in liquid culture of leaves, stems and petioles of Rehmannia glutinosa and Scrophularia buergeriana were investigated. Proper storage Temperature for Rehmannia glutinosa was $8^{\circ}C$ and the leaf stock could be stored up to 12 weeks. In Scrophularia buergerjana. shoots were developed from the 20 week-stored petiole and stem at $8^{\circ}C$. In general, $8^{\circ}C$ was considered the most effective storage temperature in terms of storage cost.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of initial ripening condition placed within a kimchi refrigerator and this result will be used as basic data for the development of fermentation system of Kimchi refrigerator. Hardness significantly decreased as the storage period longer. Lactic acid and Lactobacillus spp. showed a large amount until 8 weeks, but one without initial ripening contained much lower. The content of lactic acid bacteria increased from 4.50 logCFU/mL to 6.70 ~ 7.47 logCFU/mL and decreased to 5.08 ~ 6.10 logCFU/mL according to storage period. Consumer preferred $15^{\circ}C/52h$ samples rather than others in two weeks. $15^{\circ}C/36h$ and $6^{\circ}C/113h$ samples were significantly preferred during the whole storage period. These results indicate that the initial fermentation conditions affect the taste and fermentation degree of kimchi during the storage period.

Time-temperature indicators (TTI) from three different companies obtained and were attached to food packages materials to evaluate degree of their color change according to storage time and temperature. Five temperature (-10 -5, 0, 5 and 10) was selected to represent standard freezing, refrigerating and room temperature, and evaluated performance by color change based on magnitude of color change and hunter system (L, a, b). Response end point was measured and recorded to find characteristic of each indicator. Comparison and discussion were conducted for accuracy and precision of each time-temperature. More research should be conducted at variable temperature and with various food to determine applicability of TTI on various storage condition.

A spent fuel storage cask is required to prove the safety of a canister under a hypothetical accidental drop condition. A hypothetical accidental drop condition means that a canister is assumed to be a lee drop on to a pad of the storage cask during loading it into a storage cask. A pad of the storage cask absorbs shock to maintain the structural integrities of a canister under a hypothetical accidental drop condition. In this paper a finite element analysis for various pad structures was carried out to improve the structural integrity of a canister under a hypothetical accidental drop condition. A pad of a storage cask was designed a steel structure with concrete. The 1/4 height of a pad was modified with a structure composed of a steel and a polyurethane foam as a impact limiter. The effect of a shape of a steel structure was studied. The effects of the thickness of a steel structure and the density of a polyurethane foam was also studied.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of post-harvest drying method and subsquent storage condition on the quality of garlic bulbs for 10 months from July, 1980 to April, 1981. The 27% weight loss of garlic bulbs by HPHD (hot air post-harvest frying) for 12 days at $40^{\circ}C$ (8hrs/day) was equal to that by NPHD (conventional natural post-harvest drying) for 35 days. But the decay occured 5.5% only in NPHD. During the storage period of garlic bulbs by HPHD, their decay and weight ]oss were less 25.4% and 13.5% in ambient storage, and less 14.2% and 7.5% in low temperature storage than those of NPHD. When garlic bulbs were stored in low temperature, the weight loss and decay were less 20.0% and 22.4% in NPHD, and tess 14.0% and 9.9% in HPHD than those in ambient temperature storage. The Quality of garlic bulbs packed with 0.08mm polyethylene film stored at ambient temperature for 2 months was so poor as to be inedible because of the adverse effect of $CO_2$ and the growth of molds, but in low temperature storage for 10 months it was in good shape showing the weight loss, the decay and the sprouting 2.6%, 3.4% and 26.8%, respectively.

Two hundred grams of fresh jujubes at whitish green maturity was packaged in the film bags of different gas permeabilities and stored at 0 and $5^{\circ}C$. Through the storage package atmosphere and jujube quality were monitored. Package of $30\;{\mu}m\;CPP$ film resulted in anaerobic conditions of $O_2$ content below 1% and $CO_2$ content above 15%, and caused off-flavor at both temperatures within 4 weeks. Package of $60\;{\mu}m\;LDPE$ film also showed potential risk of anaerobic condition development within 5 weeks, because of high $CO_2$ and/or low $O_2$ concentration at 0 and $5^{\circ}C$. Microperforated film packages could preserve quality of jujubes for 10 and 7 weeks at 0 and $5^{\circ}C$, respectively, which were significantly longer than shelf lives for perforated air pack and hermetically sealed packages.
