Most of the domestic cold storage rooms are inefficient for agricultural products because of temperature gradients inside the storage rooms. Temperature gradients are developed mainly by improper airflow pattern inside the storage room, which is a main cause of the spoilage of the agricultural products. There proper airflow pattern is essential to minimize these temperature gradients and the spoilage. The performance and characteristics of a cold storage room were determined as a function of airflow pattern and temperature distribution in forced circulation cold storage room. A commercial CFD(computational fluid dynamics) code was used to simulate 3-D airflow in the cold storage room. Solving the flow equations for the storage room, a standard k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model was implemented to calculate steady state turbulent velocity distribution. The CFD prediction results were compared with temperature measurements inside the cold storage room. In case of pallet storage, Temperature gradients inside pallet storage was reduced because the contact area of cold air expanded through an alley of airflow in storage. But is case of bulk storage, the last temperature of storage considerably rose more than the initial temperature of storage. The reason was that bulk storage didn't include any alley of airflow in storage.

Egg has been considered as one of the most important food sources in both nutritionally and economically. However, because the hazards of egg flow chains' complexity from producers to consumers and the insufficiency of cold chain systems in Korea are still remained, preventive measures for egg safety should be established. This experiment was carried out to investigate the changes of egg qualify during storage in order to find out the proper storage condition and eggshell treatment. Eggs were stored at cold condition $(5^{\circ}C,\;relative\;humidity;\;RH:\;65\pm3\%)$ and room Condition $(1st: Sep\; 6\~Nov\; 15,\;2001,\; 10\~30^{\circ}C,\;RH\;41\~86\%,\;2nd;\; Dec\;13,\;2001\~Feb\;21,\;2002,\;4\~23^{\circ}C,\;RH\;36\~89\%)$ after eggshell treatment (unwashed, washed and coated egg) during'10 weeks and examined weight loss and interior quality periodically. Weight loss was in decreasing order room washed > room unwashed > cold washed > cold unwashed > room coated > cold coated egg. And, Haugh unit was decreasing order room washed > room unwashed > room coated > cold washed > cold unwashed > cold coated egg. Our findings show that both coated eggs and refrigeration reduces the rate of decline in Haugh units and egg weight. And, washed eggs had lower average Haugh units and a higher weight loss than any of the eggshell treatment in both storage conditions. Conclusively, for washing eggshell, 150 ppm of sodium hypochlorite, regular exchange and temperature control of water should be consistent and also eggs should be dried immediately after washing. Also, national guidelines for temperature and moisture of storage places, transportation and expiration data should be established to keep quality and weight loss of eggs. Storage temperature that is a critical factor in the quality and safety of eggs should be kept under 12'c and labelling of expiration date should be obligatory.

Three spring potato varieties (Atlantic, Chubaek, and Superior) were cultivated for 80, 90, and 100 days and compared in terms of their total and marketable yields and specific gravities. Subsequently, changes in the quality parameters (weight loss, sprouting rate, disease incidence, dry weight, and specific gravity) of potatoes cultivated for 100 days were monitored during two-month storage in improved and semi-underground warehouses at 4℃ and room temterature. The productivities of Atlantic, Superior, and Chubaek were maximized at cultivation periods of 100, 100, and >90 days, respectively. In all cases, cold storage resulted in <5.3% weight loss and no marketability loss. However, two-month room temperature storage resulted in pronounced marketability loss due to weight loss (6.2, 7.3% and 10.9% for Atlantic, Superior, and Chubaek, respectively) and sprouting (in ~13%, >75%, and 99% of Atlantic, Superior, and Chubaek tubers, respectively). The marketability of Atlantic, Superior, and Chubaek during cold storage was maintained for >2, ~2, and <2 months, respectively. All varieties were characterized by rapid sprouting, low dry weight and specific gravity, and rapid marketability loss during storage.

Low temperature storage method is to increase the value of agricultural products by reducing quality loss and regulate consignment time by controlling respiration rates of agricultural products. Respiration rate of agricultural products depends on several factors such as temperature, moisture, gas composition and a microbe inside the storage room. Temperature is the most important factor among these, which affects respiration rate and causes low or high temperature damage. Fuzzy logic was used to control the temperature of a storage room ,which uses information of uncertain facts and mathematical model for room temperature control . Room temperature was controlled better by using fuzzy logic control method rather than on-off control method. Refrigerant flow rates and temperature deviations were measured for on-off system using TEV(temperature expansion valve) and for fuzzy system using EEV(Electrical Expansion Valve) . Temperature of the Storage room was lowered faster by using fuzzy system than on -off system. Temperature deviation was -0.6~+0.9$^{\circ}C$ for on-off system and $\pm$0.2$^{\circ}C$ for fuzzy system developed. Temperature deviation and variation of temperature deviation were used as inout parameters for fuzzy system. The most suitable input and output value were found by experiment. Cooling rate of the storage room decreased while temperature deviation increased for the sampling time of 20 sec.

온실을 이용한 상온 저장시설의 실용화 가능성을 예측해보고 '창녕대고'와 '터보' 양파의 저장성을 비교해 보고자 3개월간 저온과 상온조건에서 품질변화를 조사하였다. 중량 감소율은 저장기간 동안 지속적으로 증가하였으며 저온저장시 3개월 후 약 2% 정도 감소하였고 상온저장의 경우 약 4% 감소를 나타내었다. 저장 전후의 경도를 비교한 결과 저장 조건 및 품종 간에 따른 유의한 차이는 인정되지 않았으나 수확직후의 경도에 비해 3개월 저장 후 경도가 두 품종 모두 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 양파 외피의 착색정도를 나타내는 Hunter a 값은 두 품종 모두 상온저장한 양파가 저온저장 처리에 비해 높은 값을 나타내었으며 이는 상온저장한 양파의 외피가 건조되면서 착색된 것으로 사료된다. Hunter L 값은 저장조건에 관계없이 저장일수에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 부패율은 상온저장시 창녕대고에 비해 터보 품종이 7.8%로 현저히 낮았으며, 저온 저장시 두 품종 모두 2% 미만의 부패율을 나타났다. 따라서 온실을 이용하여 상온저장 할 경우 저장 가능기간으로는 3개월 이내가 적당할 것으로 예측되며 저장성이 강한 품종을 이용할 경우 저장기간을 더 연장할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Temperature is the most influential environment parameter which affects the quality change of agricultural products in cold storage. Therefore, it is essential to keep the uniform temperature distribution in the storage room. This study was performed to analyze the air movement and temperature distribution in the forced recirculating cold storage facility and to simulate optimum storage method of green groceries using 3-D CFD(three dimensional computational fluid dynamics) computer simulation which applied the standard $textsc{k}$-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model and FVM(finite volume method). The simulation was validated by the experimental results for onion storage and the simulation model was used to simulate the temperature and velocity distribution in the storage room with reference to the change of storage method such as location of storage, no stores, bulk storage, and pallet storage. In case of no stores, internal airflow was circulated without stagnation and consequently air movement and temperature distribution were uniform. In case of bulk storage, air movement was stagnated so much and temperature distribution of onion was not uniform. Furthermore, the inner temperature of onion roses more than the initial temperature of storage. In case of pallet storage, air movement and temperature distribution of onion were so uniform that the danger of quality change was decreased.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the changes of egg qualify during storage in order to find out the proper storage condition. Fresh eggs were stored at cold condition ($5^{\circ}C$, relative humidity ; RH :$65\pm$3%) and room condition($25^{\circ}C$, RH :$40\pm$3%) during 10 weeks and examined microbiological quality, weight loss and interior quality periodically. Weight loss was indicated 17.93% at room condition and 2.56% at cold condition. The pH of egg white and yolk were increased from 7.94 to 9.03(average 13.72%) and from 6.16 to 6.57(average 6.65%) at cold condition and from 7.94 to 9.54(average 20.15%) and from 6.16 to 6.90(average 12.01%) at room condition respectively. But pH of egg white and yolk did not showed significant difference between before molting and after molting. Haugh unit was decreased from 82.0 to <30 at room condition after 3 weeks. The most frequent bacteria isolated were E coli, Staphylococcus leutus, S saprophyticus, Citrobacter freundii, Klebsiella oxytoca, Providencia rettgeri, and Pontoea spp. It was recommended that shelf life of unrefrigerated eggs would not be longer than 21 days at room temperature in summer.
