Various sterilization temperatures $(110^{\circ}C,\;120^{\circ}C,\;130^{\circ}C)$ and air volumes (air, 31ml, half-vacuum; 13ml, vacuum; -0.7ml) within the retort pouch were tested for the development of the simple retort rice processing techniques in which the pouch were filled with rice and water, and then sterilized. Water content of retort rice was found to be 59.0-63.3% resulting from mixing the rice and water in the ratio of 1:1.1. The most uniform water content was obtained from retort rice sterilized at $130^{\circ}C$ and packaged under vacuum. The larger water content differences were observed with the increase in internal air volumes within the retort pouch. Spreading degree of retort rice was geater than that of general cooked rice, was lower in upper layer than in low layer, and became lower with the larger air volume and higher sterilization temperature. a degree of rice became higher with the Increase of sterilization temperature but that was not affected by the internal air volume of the pouch. The higher sterilization temperature and the lower the air volume, the higher the whiteness was. The highest whiteness was obtained by packaging under vacuum and sterilizing at $130^{\circ}C$. Intact degree was much higer in packaging under air than vacuum. In sensory evaluation the retort rice of vacuum pack was good in color and spreading degree but not in appearance because of blocking and deforming, but that of air pack was good in texture on the contrary. The best quality was obtained by packaging under half-vacuum and sterilizing at $130^{\circ}C$.

Kimchi vacuum packaged in PET/AI/PE pouch was stored at $0^{\circ}C\;and\;10^{\circ}C$ to evaluate the effect of vacuumizing conditions on quality changes. The quality of kimchi during storage was investigated in terms of pH, titratable acidity, color, viable counts of lactic acid bacteria including Leuconostoc and Lactobacilli and sensory properties. Titratable acidity and pH were not significantly different for the vacuum degrees. Color index (L b/a) values of crushed kimchi juice decreased exponentially and remained constant during storage, but the resulting color change was not affected by the vacuum degrees. Viable counts of lactic acid bacteria and sensory scores exhibited no significant difference among the kimchi of different vacuum degrees. Consequently, the vacuum degree in packaging of kimchi seemed to influence little on quality of kimchi. For enhancing the commercial value of vacuum packaged kimchi products, it would be appropriate to produce a slight vacuum, eliminating the head space, within packages.

The effect of irradiation and packaging methods (vacuum vs aerobic) on microbial growth, electron donating ability, and lipid oxidation in marinated beef rib (Galbi) was investigated. The total aerobic bacteria in Gazlbi reduced significantly with the increase of irradiation dose, and the effect was more significant in the Galbi with vacuum packaging, The pH showed a decreasing trend during storage and this change was more significant in the Galbi with aerobic packaging. Electron donating ability of Galbi was reduced by irradiation in aerobic packaging but no difference was found in vacuum packaging except 7 days. The 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value of Galbi increased by irradiation in aerobic packaging during storage time, but that of vacuum packaging was maintained an initial value. Results indicated that irradiation coupled with vacuum packaging may enhance the microbial safety of Korean traditional meat products, Galbi, with minimum quality changes during storage.

Scallop, Pectinopecten yessoenis(Jay), cultivated in the cold east coast of Kwangwon region, Korea, is expected be to produced about 50, 000 tons in the year 2000. Scallop, first of all should be exuviated to process for new goods. In this study, vacuum and nitrogen packagings were applied to extend the shelf-life of exuviated scallop boiled with steam for 10 min. Vacuum and nitrogen packagings retarded the decrease in pH, whereas inhibited the production of $NH_2-N, $ VBN, TMA, and TBA of exuviated scallop stored at $5^{\circ}C.$ They also inhibited the microbial growth. But, there was no significant difference in the bacteriostatic effects between both packaging methods. The estimated shelf-lives of boiled and exuviated scallops for control, vacuum, and nitrogen packagings were about 30, 36, and 36 days, respectively.

Shelf-life of pork packaged under $CO_{2}$ was observed and the optimal volume of $CO_{2}$ gas was determined. High gas barrier film, EVOH($CO_{2}$ permiability; 1 $cc/cm^{2}{\cdot}24\;h{\cdot}atm$) was used as packaging material and the volume ratios of sample to $CO_{2}$ of 1 : 1, 1 : 3 and 1 : 5 were tried using the control of vacuum packaged pork. To ev.3luate quality of pork cuts, total plate counts, TBA, color and sensory score were monitored during the storage at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 31 days. TPC of vacuum packaged pork increased up to $4.6{\times}10^{6}\;CFU/cm^{2}$ in 24 days while that of $CO_{2}$ gas packaged pork $4.5{\times}10^{5}\;CFU/cm^{2}$ at the same storage period, and it took 7 days more for gas packaged pork to reach the same TPC count. There was no significant difference in TBA value between vacuum packaged and gas packaged pork. In the color L and a values were not affected by treatment but vacuum packaged pork cuts showed higher b value than gas packaged pork. According to sensory evaluation, gas packaged pork showed less off flavor, better flavor and freshness than vacuum packaged one (P<0.05).

This study was investigated the changes in quality of heat treated fresh-cut lotus roots using various packaging materials. Lotus roots were purchased from Daegu, Korea. Lotus roots were washed, peeled and sliced with a sharp ceramic knife. The prepared peeled and sliced lotus roots were dipped for 45 sec in water at $55^{\circ}C$. After air-dried at room temperature, the slices were packaged with polyethylene films, polyethylene terephthalate tray+wrapping, vacuum packaging and then stored at $4^{\circ}C$. Changes in weight loss, color, firmness, microorganisms and sensory characteristics were measured. In general, the weight loss rate was increased slightly in vacuum packaged lotus roots. Application of heat treatment delayed browning of lotus roots, and especially vacuum packaged lotus roots were the most lowest ${\Delta}E$ value. However, L and ${\Delta}E$ value of PE film packaged lotus roots were increased highly during storage. The heat treated and vacuum packaging inhibited the growth of microorganisms effectively. The organoleptic quality of vacuum packaged lotus roots showed the best by sensory evaluation.

This study investigated the effects of 3% ground fresh paprika (FP) and 5% freeze-dried paprika powder (FDP) on lipid oxidation inhibition and warmed-over flavor (WOF) development in cooked ground pork (CGP; meat:fat = 70:30), using two packaging methods (atmosphere packaging and vacuum packaging) during 8 days at $4^{\circ}C$ and 4 months at $-26^{\circ}C$. In the CGP containing FP with atmosphere packaging, at both $4^{\circ}C\;and\;-26^{\circ}C$, peroxide formation increased sharply, and was similar to that of the CGP without paprika. Peroxide formation, in both the CGP without paprika and with FP and packaged with vacuum packaging, repectively, was much lower than that found with atmosphere packaging. Vacuum packaging was superior to atmosphere packaging for lipid oxidation inhibition. In the CGP containing FP with vacuum packaging and stored at $-26^{\circ}C$, peroxide formation almost didn't occur, which was similar to the CGP containing FDP. The peroxide value and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value did not increase in the CGP containing FDP over the storage periods ($4^{\circ}C\;and\;-26^{\circ}C$) for both the atmosphere and vacuum packaging. Therefore, FDP was the most effective for lipid oxidation inhibition during refrigerated storage, regardless of the packaging method. Both FP and FDP with vacuum packaging during frozen storage showed similar antioxidant activities. The development of WOF in the CGP containing FDP with vacuum packaging was delayed until 7 days at $4^{\circ}C$ and 3 months at $-26^{\circ}C$, respectively. WOF was highly correlated with TBA value in the CGP stored at $-26^{\circ}C$ with vacuum packaging (r = 0.88, p<0.05). The oxidative stability of the lipid in the CGP containing FDP with vacuum packaging was excellent.

Rice cakes were prepared by the addition of yellow soybean flour or peanut flour and packaged with $CO_2$-modified packaging(CMP) or vacuum packaging(VP), and their physical characteristics were monitored by sensory evaluation and mechanical measurement while storing for 6 days. For VP samples, yellow soybean rice cake showed little changes in cohesiveness, moistness and chewiness for 6 days of storage, while pure rice cake and peanut rice cake showed an increase in strength and hardness from the 4th day of storage. In case of CMP, yellow soybean rice cake hardly showed a difference in cohesiveness, moistness and chewiness for 6 days, while pure rice cake and peanut rice cake showed a significant difference from the 4th day in sensory evaluation. For rheometer measurement, yellow soybean rice cake with CMP or VP showed little changes in strength or hardness for 6 days, while peanut rice cake and pure rice cake showed a drastic decrease in cohesiveness from the 2nd day and adhesiveness from the 4th day of storage. As there was no remarkable difference or deterioration for 6 days of storage in yellow soybean rice cake between CMP and VP, the ingredients of rice cake appeared to be more important than the type of packaging in terms of the quality deterioration of rice cake.
