In order to study bread properties utilizing extracts of pine needle, various mixing percentage were applied to select appropriate ratio between water and extracts. Dough pH, dough pH after first fermentation, dough volume, bread volume and baking loss rate were tested to investigate bread properties after adding extracts of pine needle to bread. The results were summarized as follows; The effects of extracts percentage on pH value of dough according to preparation method were the lowest in the method of hot air drying of pine needle powder. After first fermentation, dough pH was tended to have a the same tendency as above. Dough volume and bread volume were tended to be increased as extracts percentage of pine needle were increased. The percentage of baking loss tended to be a little increased as addition level of extracts was increased. Strength of hardness were increased as storage time passed away. In conclusion, the taste and texture of bread were tended to be decreased as storage time goes, but the strength of pine needle flavour were tended to be increased as addition level of extracts were increased, irrespective of preparation method.

The garlic juices were extracted and concentrated by heating at $90^{\circ}C$, by using a rotary vacuum evaporator at $45^{\circ}C$, or by freezing at $-50^{\circ}C$ until the volume was reduced to 70% of the original volume. The concentrated juices were kept at $4^{\circ}C\;or\;25^{\circ}C$ for 60 days and the changes of bacteria and color were monitored every 10 days. Flavors of the raw garlic juices, concentrated garlic juices, and garlic powder by hot-air drying were analyzed monthly using GC and GC/MS. The CFUs/mL of mesophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria in the garlic juice concentrated at $90^{\circ}C$ were lower about 1 to 2 log cycles than those of other concentrated juices. Hunter L, a, and b values in the raw garlic raw juice and the juice concentrated at $-50^{\circ}C$ significantly increased at the beginning of storage, in particular, when they were stored at $25^{\circ}C$. The garlic juice concentrated at $45^{\circ}C$ showed relatively low L value but the juice concentrated at $90^{\circ}C$ showed high a value. The main peaks in chromatograms of volatile components identified by GC/MS were 3,3'-thiobis-1-propene, di-2-propenyl disulfide, 3-(methylthio)-1-propene in the raw garlic juice and the concentrated juices, and the juices concentrated at $45^{\circ}C\;or\;-50^{\circ}C$ showed relatively high preservation of garlic flavor.

In order to optimize microbial safety and preservation in quality retention of rice flour, commercial hot-air dry (HT, 65/15 min) and microwave dry (MT, 700 watt/30 sec) treatments were developed, and in this study, natural microflora present in rice flour exposed to different storage temperature and periods were monitored. Changes in color (E) appeared to be less on the MT rice flour than on the rice flour. Effectiveness of the MT treatment showed reduction rates for total aerobic bacteria (2.62 log CFU/g), yeasts, and molds (0.37 log CFU/g). Total aerobic bacteria showed similar growth patterns of all the treatments during storage; however, the MT treatment inhibited the growth of this organism in rice flour. In conclusion, the MT treatment was found to be a suitable drying method to substitute the HT treatment in terms of quality of rice flour and microbial safety.

Fly ash (FA), byproduct from power plant has been actively used as mineral admixture for concrete. However, since bottom ash (BA) is usually used for land reclaim or subbase material, more active reuse plan is needed. Pond ash (PA) obtained from reclaimed land is mixed with both FA and BA. In this study, 6 PA from different domestic power plant are prepared and 5 different replacement ratios (10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, and 70%) for fine aggregate substitutes are considered to evaluate engineering properties of PA as fine aggregate and durability performance of PA concrete. Tests for fine aggregate of PA for fineness modulus, density and absorption, soundness, chloride and toxicity content, and alkali aggregate reaction are performed. For PA concrete, durability tests for compressive strength, drying shrinkage, chloride penetration/diffusion, accelerated carbonation, and freezing/thawing are performed. Also, basic tests for fresh concrete like slump and air content are performed. Although PA has lower density and higher absorption, its potential as a replacement material for fine aggregate is promising. PA concrete shows a reasonable durability performance with higher strength with higher replacement ratio. Finally, best PA among 6 samples is selected through quantitative classification, and limitation of PA concrete application is understood based on the test results. Various tests for engineering properties of PA and PA concrete are discussed in this paper to evaluate its application to concrete structure.

Volatile flavor components of garlic and factors which influence on its flavors were reviewed. Growth, storage and processing conditions influence on the flavor intensity of garlic. To intensify garlic flavors, it is desirable that sufficient sulfate nutrition be supplied to the soil of growing garlic and that the suggested proportions of mineral composition and water content be considered. And to maintain the flavor intensity of post harvested garlic, flavor losses taken place during over inter storage mainly due to respiration, sprout and decay, have to be minimized. Among the various storage methods, combination method of post harvest hot-air drying and low temperature ($0^{\circ}C$), low humidity (RH 70-75%) is useful. The flavor of processed garlic is very much decreased as compared with that of fresh, and the decreasing rate of flavors depends on processing method. The synthetic garlic flavors were obtained by three types based on intermediate thiosulfinate, S-alk(en) yl-$\small{L}$-cyteine sulfoxlde-alliinase fission products and $\small{L}$-5-alk (en)yl thiomethylhydantoin ${\pm}$ S-oxides. These synthetic garlic flavors may be promised to be applied to food additives.

Changes on physicochemical properties of fresh Korean ginseng during repeated 9 times steaming processes, steaming $90{\sim}95^{\circ}C$ for $1{\sim}3\;hr$ followed by hot air-drying at $50^{\circ}C$ for $36{\sim}48\;hr$, were investigated. The water contents decreased from 73.4% of fresh ginseng to 13.7% finally. The final yields in bases of total weights and dry matter were 21.0% and 79.0%, respectively. As the times of steaming processes increased, lightness (L value) decreased and redness (a value) increased in color of ginseng powder. Browning index also rapidly increased after 3 times of steaming process in particular. Total water soluble sugar contents decreased from 55.4% in fresh to 38.6% in final processed ginseng, but acidic polysaccharide contents increased by about 50% with increasing times of steaming process. Total phenolic compound contents significantly increased with repeated steaming processes especially after 5 times of steaming processes and crude saponin contents also increased in some degree. In the case of major ginsenosides, the contents of $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, $Rg_1$, Re (representative ginsenosides in fresh ginseng) decreased, but those of $Rg_2$, $Rh_1$, $Rg_3$ (unique ginsenosides in red ginseng) increased after especially 5 times of steaming processes.

Samples of Siberian chipmunks (Tamias sibiricus borberi ) from Korea were analyzed by multivariate, air-drying , and blot-hybridization methods in order to determine the degree of variations of morphological characters, chromosomal karyotype, and mtDNA restriction fragment patterns, respectively, Moreover, morphometric characters of samples of Siberian chipmunks from Manchuria(T.sibiricus orientalis) were also analyzed in order to clarify the taxonomic status of the subspecies barberi. Siberian chipmunks from six localities in Korea were in morphometric characters more or less similar with one another and Siberian chipmunks from Manchuria were not so distinct enough to from a subgroup. Siberian chipmunks from Four localities in Korea were identical in their karyotypes (2n=38) : samples from three localities in Korea were nore or less similar in their mtDNA fragment patterns. Siberian chipmunks from Korea appeared to be a omogeneous population and as noted by Corbet (1978) subspecies barberi is the synonym of subspecies orientalis. The scientific name of Siberian chipmunks from Korea and Manchuria is T. sibiricus orientalis, although systematic studies with the samples from North korea, Manchuria and China will be necessary for their taxonomic reconsideration.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of pre-treated sub-ingredients and deodorization materials on the smell intensity of Kimchi during fermentation.Among the various sub-ingredients of Kimchi, garlic, ginger and green onion have comparatively strong smell. The smell intensities of the sub-ingredients, which were pre-treated with various patented methods were examined using the sensory evaluation method and AromaScan. The results showed that the good methods to reduce the smell of sub-ingredients were hot air drying and soaking with heating treatment. The pH, titratable acidity and the number of microorganism of Kimchi prepared with pre-treated sub-ingredients were not different among samples during fermentation. The smell intensity of the Kimchi with pre-treated sub-ingredients was weaker than that of control until ten fermentation days, but the smell intensity after 10 days of fermentation was not different among samples. The addition of ${\alpha}-cyclodextrin\;and\;{\beta}-cyclodextrin$, which are known to have deodorization effect, at a level of 0.1% respectively, to Kimchi resulted in no difference in the pH, titratable acidity and smell intensity during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$ compared to those of control Kimchi. However, the addition of deodorizer reduced sulfide classes such as methyl allyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, allyl sulfide, methyl propyl disulfide up to 50%.

For the effective utilization of the fish resource in coastal regions, an investigation on optimum processing conditions and meat quality textured fish protein concentrate (FPC) was carried out with the fish meat of filefish and sardine. Optimum pH and sodium chloride content of fish meat were 7.5 and 1.0 %, respectively. The most effective soaking conditions were as follows ; soaking time, 30 min ; temperature of ethanol, 5 to $20^{\circ}C$ ; amount of added ethanol, 3 times the weight of the fishmeat paste ; repeated number of soaking in ethanol for filefish and sardine, 2 and 4, respectively. The ethanol remaining is meaty textured FPC could be removed effectively by forced-air drying. Yields of the product to the minced meat weight and the contents of protein lipid in meaty textured from filefish were 21.1, 77.6 and 0.2 % and those from sardine were 24.3, 75.8 and 3.6 %, respectively. Contents of essential amino acids in meaty textured FPC of filefish and sardine were not inferior to those of beef, textured soybean protein and FAO pattern. Beef meat could be substituted with the meaty textured FPC up to 50 % in the processing of typical meat balls and hamburger without any significant loss in its taste, odor and texture.

Hydrogen penetration into a metal leads to damages and mechanical degradations and its content measurement is of importance. For a precise measurement, a sample preparation procedure must be optimized through a series of studies on sample washing and drying. In this study, two-step washing with organic solvents and thermal soaking in inert gas were tried with a rod-shaped, API X65 steel sample. The samples were machined from a steel plate and then washed in acetone and etyl-alcohol for 5 minute each and dried with compressed air. After then, the samples were thermally soaked in a home-made nitrogen gas chamber during 10 minute at different heat gun temperatures from 100 to $400^{\circ}C$ and corresponding temperature range in the soaking chamber was from 77 to $266^{\circ}C$ according to the temperature calibration. Hydrogen residue in the samples was measured with a hot extraction system after each soaking step; hydrogen residue of $0.70{\pm}0.12$ wppm after the thermal soaking at $77^{\circ}C$ decayed with increase of the soaking temperature. By adopting the heat transfer model, decay behavior of the hydrogen residue was fitted into an exponential decay function of the soaking temperature. Saturated value or lower bound of the hydrogen residue was 0.36 wppm and chamber temperature required to lower the hydrogen residue about 95% of the lower bound was $360^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, a thermal desorption spectroscopy was done for the fully soaked samples at $360^{\circ}C$. Weak hydrogen peak was observed for whole temperature range and it means that hydrogen-related contaminants of the sample surface are steadily removed by heating. In addition, a broad peak found around $400^{\circ}C$ means that parts of the hydrogen residue are irreversibly trapped in the steel microstructure.
