The quality changes of strawberries packaged using low density polyethylene (LDPE) film filled with 3% silver-coated ceramic (WC30) and filled with it and 0.1% chitin (CWC) were investigated during storage at 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. In gas composition within film bag, CWC and WC30 kept higher CO2 concentration than LDPE without silver-coated ceramic and chitin (CO) did during 5 day storage. The weight loss of strawberries during storage was the smallest in WC30 and the largest in CWC in 5 days. Hardness of strawberries was the highest in WC30 and the lowest in CO during 5 day storage. pH of strwberries was increased a little until 1 day and was not changed after 1 day storage, and soluble solid content was not changed during storage. Vitamin C content was decreased significantly until 2 day storage and decreased a little after 2 days. There is no differences in the change of vitamin C content among the packaging materials. In color measurement, lightness was the highest in WC 30 and in sensory evaluation, all characteristics also had the highest scores in WC30. In conclusion, better quality of straberries was shown in WC30 than in CWC and CO during storage.

Microbiological and sensory evaluations of chicken wings treated with acetic acid and trisodium phosphate(TSP) during retail(1${\pm}$2$^{\circ}C$) and refrigerated storage(4$^{\circ}C$). Chicken wings(average weight of 15${\pm}$2g per leg) were treated with 0.5∼2% aerobic plate counts(APC) on the surface of chicken wings for storage of 16 days at 4$^{\circ}C$. During storage of 12 days at retail store(1${\pm}$2$^{\circ}C$), the treating chicken wings with 7.5∼10% TSP solutions for 10 min showed significantly inhibitory effect in preventing the growth of aerobic microbes. For odor and appearance scores, chicken wings treated with 0.5∼2% acetic solutions resembled untreated wings for storage of 16 days at 4$^{\circ}C$. However, both odor and appearance scores of chicken wings treated with 2.5∼10% TSP solutions were similar to those of untreated wings for storage of 4 days, and a higher in the storage of beyond 8 to 12 days at retail store.

Dynamic rheological properties of hot pepper-soybean paste (HPSP) samples mixed with guar gum and xanthan gum were evaluated at different storage temperatures (5, 15, and $25^{\circ}C$) by using a dynamic rheometer. Magnitudes of storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G"), and complex viscosity (${\eta}^*$) in the HPSP-gum mixtures increased with an increase in storage temperature from 5 to $25^{\circ}C$. After 3-month storage at 5 and $15^{\circ}C$ there were no significant changes in dynamic rheological properties. The increase in dynamic moduli (G', G", and ${\eta}^*$) with storage temperature is less pronounced at HPSP-xanthan gum mixtures in comparison to HPSP-guar gum mixtures. The slopes of G' (0.16-0.18) of HPSP-guar gum mixtures at 3-month storage were much higher than that (0.10) at 0-month storage, indicating that the elastic properties of the HPSP-guar gum mixtures can be decreased after 3-month storage. However, there were not much differences between the slopes of G' in HPSP-xathan gum mixtures. Xanthan gum was observed to be better structure stabilizer for HPSP during storage.

The effect of irradiation of heat treatment either alone or in combination on the shelf-life of mixed mountain edible herb drinks (MMEHD) was investigated during storage. The MMEHD made from fresh Spuriopinella bracycarpar, Ligularia fischeri and Aster scaber was gamma -irradiated at doses of 0.1 kGy to 1 kGy. Microbial population, color change, vitamin C content, and sensory quality were evaluated during storage at 4, 25 and 35oC. Heated MMEHD induced the growth of total counts, mold and yeast as compared to the non-heated MMEHD. While some reduction in the microbial growth was observed in 1kGy-irradiated groups of both with or without heating. In both groups, L and b values decreased, but a value increased during storage. Also, heating drinks showed increased L and b values and reduced a value, compared to the non-heating drinks. Non-heated drinks showed 82% loss of vitamin C, whereas 25% loss of vitamin C was occurred in the irradiated drinks during storage at 4oC for 4days. In the meanwhile, non-irradiated heating drinks showed 99% loss of vitamin C, but irradiated heating drinks showed 58-65% reduction of vitamin C. Non-irradiated drinks without heating showed more bright color than irradiated ones, but irradiated drinks showed more enhanced brightness during storage. Also, irradiated drinks showed better falvor, sensory quality, and overall acceptability than non-irradiated drinks.

The Storage efficiency of concentric evacuated tube solar collector is tested for one year from January 1st to December 31st under the real sun condition. The testing equipment is operated continuously for three days without cooling the storage tank. Daily storage efficiency is obtained from dividing stored energy in the storage tank by solar insolation on the solar collector for each day. Daily averaged temperature of the storage tank is lowest in January and highest in August. Monthly averaged storage efficiency is also lowest in November and highest in June. Therefore, it can be said that the storage temperature and the storage efficiency are roughly proportional to outdoor temperature. Furthermore, the daily storage efficiency is reversely proportional to $(T_s-T_a)/I_c$ where $T_s$ and $T_a$ are daily averaged storage temperature and outdoor temperature from sunrise to sunset, and $I_c$ is total insolation on the solar collector for a day.

This study was conducted to analyze the acidity and turbidity changes of immersion solutions as well as changes in aerobic bacteria, E. coli, anaerobic bacteria, yeast and mold counts of mulberry leaf soybean curds during storages at $4^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ in different immersion solutions such as distilled water, grapefruit seed extract (300 ppm) and alkaline ionic water. The acidities of immersion solutions of distilled water, grapefruit seed extract and alkaline ionic water after 18 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ were 0.021, 0.008 and 0.002%, respectively. After 5 days of storage at $25^{\circ}C$ were 0.042, 0.029 and 0.009%, respectively. The turbidities of the above mentioned immersion solutions were 0.50, 0.29 and 0.21 after 18 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and 0.38, 0.34 and 0.27, respectively, after 5 days of storage at $25^{\circ}C$. The acidity and turbidity changes of immersion solutions were sensitive to storage temperatures. The aerobic bacteria count of mulberry leaf soybean curds after 18 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ was still below $10^7\;CFU/g$, the beginning point of soybean curd putrefaction; in contrast, this value was reached within one day in distilled water at $25^{\circ}C$ and between 2 and 3 days in alkaline ionic water. Grapefruit seed extract and alkaline ionic water had a better preservative effect at $4^{\circ}C$ than at $25^{\circ}C$ storage temperature.

The hydrogen storage vessel having a good heat conductivity along with a simple structure and a low cost for these alloys was designed and manufactured, and then its characteristic properties were studied in this study. The various parts in hydrogen storage vessel consisted of copper pipes and stainless steel of 250 mesh reached the setting temperature after 4~5 minutes, which indicated that storage vessel had a good heat conductivity that was required in application. And also the storage vessel had a good property of hydrogen transport considering that the reaction time between hydrogen and rare-earth metal alloys in storage vessel was found to be within 10 min at $18^{\circ}C$ under 10 atmospheric pressure. It showed that the average capacity of discharged hydrogen volume was found to be $120{\ell}$ for $MmNi_{4.5}Mn_{0.5}$ under discharging conditions of $40^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ at a constant flow rate of $5{\ell}$/min. It was found that the optimum discharging temperature for obtaining an appropriate pressure of 3atm was determined to be $60^{\circ}C$ for $MmNi_{4.5}Mn_{0.5}$ hydrogen storage alloy.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of quality preservatives on minimally processed white radish for Kkakttugi, hot radish Kimchi, preparation during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. The firmness of minimally processed white radish decreased during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. However 1% $CaCl_2$ and 2% NaCl+2% sucrose treatments were effective to maintain the firmness of cut radishs. For color, Hunter L values decreased more in the samples stored at $20^{\circ}C$ than at $4^{\circ}C$, while a values showed a slight increase at both storage temperatures. The b values (browning index) showed a notable increase during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. Vitamin C content decreased during storage at both temperatures by 10.4% ~ 95.9%. At both storage temperatures, vitamin C content was highest in the samples treated with 1% NaCl+1% sucrose. For organic acid, while the content of malic acid decreased those of lactic and acetic acid increased during storage.

The Pacific saury, Cololabis saira Kwamaegi, is a traditional local food of the Eastern sea area, centered around Pohang. It is well-recognized as being both tasty and nutritious. Nevertheless, bacterial contamination, excessive dryness, and compositional changes render this fish edible only during the winter months. Thus, to improve its storage capabilities, this study assessed the effects of storage material, type, temperature, and duration on compositional changes in Kwamaegi. The assessed samples were Kwamaegi which had been naturally dried for 15 days. The storage materials included an A-film, a self- developed multi-film made of polyethylene, polyamide, EVOH, and polyethylene, and a B-film made of polyethylene, nylon, polyethylene, nylon, and polyethylene. The B films were utilized after pressing and lamination. The storage types included one whole fish(1G), or 2 divided fish(2G), to increase eating convenience. The 2G type was the muscle portion divided vertically after discarding the jowl, skin, and internal organs. The storage temperatures were 0, -15 and $-30^{\circ}C$, and the storage durations were 2, 4, and 6 months. Among the lipid rancidities, acid value and peroxide value showed the highest level of initial rancidity at a storage temperature of $0^{\circ}C$ for 2 months. We noted no significant differences between storage materials. The lower the storage temperatures, the less acid and peroxide were generated. Between the storage types, 1G evidenced lower less acid values than 2G. The TBA values revealed a dramatic increase at a storage temperature of $0^{\circ}C$ for 2 months, whereas this rapid progress was not observed at storage temperatures of -15 and $-30^{\circ}C$. Along with the acid value and peroxide value, the samples stored at 0, -15 and $-30^{\circ}C$ evidenced significantly lower TBA values. The B-film evidenced a slightly lower TBA value than was observed in the A-film, but no significant differences were observed.
