Purpose: Tomatoes, an important agricultural product in fresh-cut markets, are sometimes a source of foodborne illness, mainly Salmonella spp. Growth cracks on tomatoes can be a pathway for bacteria, so its detection prior to consumption is important for public health. In this study, multispectral Visible/Near-Infrared (NIR) reflectance imaging techniques were used to determine optimal wavebands for the classification of defect tomatoes. Methods: Hyperspectral reflectance images were collected from samples of naturally cracked tomatoes. To classify the resulting images, the selected wavelength bands were subjected to two-band permutations, and a supervised classification method was used. Results: The results showed that two optimal wavelengths, 713.8 nm and 718.6 nm, could be used to identify cracked spots on tomato surfaces with a correct classification rate of 91.1%. The result indicates that multispectral reflectance imaging with optimized wavebands from hyperspectral images is an effective technique for the classification of defective tomatoes. Conclusions: Although it can be susceptible to specular interference, the multispectral reflectance imaging is an appropriate method for commercial applications because it is faster and much less expensive than Near-Infrared or fluorescence imaging techniques.

Animal muscles are stored for specific period (aging) at refrigerated temperatures, during and after which the living muscles start to convert into meat and thus, attain certain superior properties in the final product. Proteolysis, lipolysis, and oxidation are the major biochemical processes involved during the postmortem aging of meat that affect the tenderness, juiciness, and flavor, as well as sometimes may introduce certain undesirable traits. This review analyzes the role of pre- and post-mortem factors that are important for aging and their effect on the chemical and physical changes in the “dry- and wet-aged meat.” Thus, if the meat processing manufacturers optimize the effects of aging for specific muscles, the palatability, color, and the shelf life of the aged meat products could be significantly enhanced.

Purpose: Methods for non-destructive estimation of product quality have been reported in various industrial fields, but the application of ultrasonic techniques for the agricultural products of potatoes, pears, apples, watermelons, kiwis and tomatoes etc. have been rarely reported since the application of a contact-type ultrasonic transducer in agricultural products is very difficult. Therefore, this study sought to determine the firmness of apples using non-contact ultrasonic techniques. Methods: For this experiment, an ultrasonic experimental tester using a non-contact ultrasonic transducer was created, and a signal processing program was used to analyze the acquired ultrasonic reflected signal. Also, a universal testing machine was used to measure firmness parameters of the apples such as bioyield strength, a firmness factor, after the ultrasonic tests had been performed. Results: Six distance correction factors were calculated to obtain consistent values of ultrasonic properties regardless of the distance between the transducer and the surface of the subject. We developed prediction models of the bioyield strength using the distance correction factors. Conclusions: The optimum prediction model of the bioyield strength of apples using a non-contact ultrasonic technique was a multiple regression model ($R^2=0.9402$).

Generally, because individual agricultural product possesses its own distinctive characteristics and shows different characteristics at each stage of the agricultural supply chain, it is necessary to develop a proper enterprise architecture for managing information system. In this paper, we propose an enterprise architecture based on RFID/USN technology that can be used as a reference enterprise architecture for u-IT application in the agriculture sectors, which is called the u-Farm enterprise architecture with taking heterogeneous characteristics of agricultural products into account for. In addition, we also developed the RFID/USN middleware platform as a core infrastructure technology. Fo evaluation of the performance of the proposed u-Farm architecture and the RFID/USN middleware platform, the field-trial evaluation at the apple Agricultural Processing Center (APC) has been executed and the results shows that the proposed architecture and platform perform well in terms of information integration over the whole SCM process from the farming stage to delivering statge to the customers. It is expected that the proposed u-Farm enterprise architecture can be utilized as a standard information architecture, and the RFID/USN middleware platform can be a infrastructure platform for future u-IT based information technology applications and services in the agricultural environment.

Chicken broth has a taste of umami, and the stewing time has an important effect on the quality of chicken broth, but there are fewer studies on the control of the stewing time. Based on this, the study was conducted to analyze the effects of different stewing times on the sensory, small molecular metabolites, free fatty acids, and volatile flavor compounds contents in chicken broths by liquid chromatography-quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, headspace solid-phase microextraction, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Eighty-nine small molecular metabolites, 15 free fatty acids, and 86 volatile flavor compounds were detected. Palmitic and stearic acids were the more abundant fatty acids, and aldehydes were the main volatile flavor compounds. The study found that chicken broth had the best sensory evaluation, the highest content of taste components, and the richest content of volatile flavor components when the stewing time was 2.5 h. This study investigated the effect of stewing time on the quality of chicken broth to provide scientific and theoretical guidance for developing and utilizing local chicken.

본 연구는 식물성 유산균 발효액(LFS)이 천연 항균제로서 계육 가공품에 이용 가능 여부를 확인하기 위하여 부분정육으로 유통되는 닭 가슴육에 식물성 유산균 발효액 첨가후 함기 포장하여 9일 동안 $4^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 미생물 및 이화학적 품질 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, LFS 첨가에 의해 총 호기성 미생물의 증식이 효과적으로 억제됨이 확인되었다(P<0.05). 하지만 LFS 첨가는 닭 가슴육의 pH 감소와 함께 육색의 변화, 지질 산패의 증가 및 관능적 품질 저하의 결과를 보였다. 따라서 LFS를 천연 항균제로서 계육 가공품에 이용하기 위해서는 육색 변화 방지, 지질 산패 증가 억제 및 관능적 품질 저하를 막기 위한 병용 처리 및 첨가량 조절이 필요할 것으로 사료되며, 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Objective: This study was performed to determine effects of different curing salts on the quality of salamis and to assess feasibility of using NaCl-alternative salts. Methods: Various types of curing salts (KCl or $MgCl_2$) as well as NaCl (sun-dried or refined) were incorporated for processing of salamis. The proximate composition, fatty acids, nucleotide-related compounds, and free amino acids of the salamis were analyzed during 40 days of ripening. Results: The substitution of NaCl by KCl caused higher fat and ash content, but lower moisture content of the salami after 20 days of ripening (p<0.05). Compared with the sun-dried NaCl, use of KCl in salami also led to greater inosine 5'-monophosphate whereas refined NaCl had more inosine (p<0.05). KCl-added salami also had a higher C12:0, C17:1, and C20:0 than other types of salami (p<0.05). $MgCl_2-added$ salami had higher content of free amino acids compared to the other salamis (p<0.05). Conclusion: Alternative curing salts such as KCl and $MgCl_2$ could substitute NaCl in consideration of quality factor of a fermented meat product. Especially replacement of NaCl with KCl will be a suitable strategy for developing relatively low sodium salami products without compromising product quality.

적산 온도는 작물 재배 의사결정 지원을 위해 대상지역 주변 기상 관측소의 자료를 활용하여 산정되어 왔다. 한편 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 자료로부터 공간적인 온도 자료를 바탕으로 특정 지점의 적산 온도 자료를 생산할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 MODIS 자료를 처리하는 도구를 개발하고 이를 바탕으로 작물의 고온 피해도 및 시설의 냉방 요구도 분석에 활용될 수 있는 냉방도일을 계산하고자 하였다. R 스크립트를 사용하여 특정지역의 MODIS 기온자료를 생성하는 모듈들을 작성하였다. 해당 스크립트들은 격자자료의 좌표계 변환과 자료들의 공간적인 통합 기능들을 가지고 있었다. 온도 수직 분포 자료로부터 지표 기압에 해당하는 온도를 추출하는 기능은 rgdal과 RcppArmadillo등의 패키지를 활용하여 구현되었다. 또한 냉방도일 및 일평균온도 추정을 위해 MODIS 기온 자료, day of year, 및 위도를 입력 자료로 사용하는 random forest (RF) 모형을 남한 지역의 24개 지점에 대하여 훈련하였다. 인공위성 자료 별로 훈련된 RF 모형을 사용하여 한반도 지역의 일별 냉방도일을 계산하였다. 특히, 북한지역에 24개 지점에 대해 검증한 결과, MODIS 자료를 바탕으로 추정된 지역별 평균 연간 냉방도일은 관측값 변이의 96%를 설명할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 MODIS 자료로부터 유효적산온도 및 난방도일 등 다른 농림 기상 모형의 입력자료 생산을 지원할 수 있다는 것을 암시하였다.

스마트 농산물산지유통센터(APC) 도입에 따라 인력 작업 체계를 기계화하고, 양파 수확 작업의 저비용 및 고효율화와 장기 저장을 위해 그물망 대신 톤백(TB)과 와이어메쉬파레트(WMP)로 포장하고 적재하여 저장하는 동안 양파의 수분함량, 경도, 색도, 가용성 고형분 함량, 관능 검사 등 저장성을 비교 분석하였다. 대조군과 비교했을 때 TB와 WMP를 사용한 경우 수분함량, 가용성 고형분 함량, 경도, 색도에서 유의적 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 외관 변화에 있어 TB는 CON과 비교 시 큰 차이가 없음을 확인하였다. 이는 그물망을 대체하여 TB로 양파를 포장하고 적재 및 저장하는 것이 양파 수확 작업 시 저비용 및 고효율화하고 스마트APC의 공정 개선에 효율적으로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 검토되었다.
