  • This study was to investigate the amount of protein and essential amino acid in 19 fast-foods. fast-food samples were freeze dried, then assayed for protein and eight essential amino acids by Kjeldahl and amino acid autoanalyzer method. A.S.(amino acid score) based on FAO/WHO(1973) provi-sional Pattern & C.S.(chemical score) based on whole e99 Pattern(1972) were calculated from the amount of essential amino acid of fast-foods. The 1st limiting amino acid of the tested fast-foods was found to be SAA based on both whole e99 Pattern& FAO/WHO Provisional Pattern.

  • A Tank Model composed of 4 tanks with soil moisture structure was applied to Daecheong Dam and Soyanggang Dam watersheds. Calibration and verification were repeated 332 and 472 times for each watershed using SCE-UA global optimization method for different calibration periods and objective functions. Four different methods of evapotranspiration calculation were used and evaluated. They are pan evaporation, 1963 Penman, FAO-24 Penman-Monteith, and FAO-56 Penman-Monteith methods. Tank model with soil moisture structure showed better results than the standard tank model for daily rainfall-runoff simulation. Two types of objective function for model calibration were found. Proper calibration period are 3 years, in which dry year and flood year are included. If a calibrationperiod has an inadequate runoff rate, the period should be more than 8 years. The four methods of eyapotranspiraton computation showed similar results, but 1963 Penman method was slightly inferior to the other methods.

  • SEBAL (Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land) developed by Bastiaanssen (1995) is an image-processing model comprisedof twenty-five sub models that calculates spatial evapotranspiration (ET) and other energy exchanges at the surface. SEBAL uses image data from Landsat or other satellites measuring thermal infrared radiation, visible and near infrared. In this study, the model was applied to Gyeongancheon watershed, the main tributary of Han river Basin. ET was computed on apixel-by-pixel basis from an energy balance using 4 years (2001-2004) Landsat and MODIS images. The scale effect between Landsat (30 m) and MODIS (1 km) was evaluated. The results both from Landsat and MODIS were compared with FAO Penman-Monteith ET. The absolute errors between satellite ETs and Penman-Monteith ET were within 12%. The spatial and temporal characteristics of ET distribution within the watershed were also analyzed.

  • Physical and chemical qualifies of 13 kinds of pepper imported from South-East Asian countries and Brazil were investigated. These included length and weight of berry, and color of the powder, and the contents of light berry, acid insoluble ash, piperine and volatile oil. While physical qualities of Sarawak special, Sarawak brown and Indian TGEB were the best(berries were larger and weightier, and the content of light berry was lower), those of Lampong ASTA and Lampong FAQ were relatively not good. In the other hand, chemical qualifies of Lampong ASTA, Lampong FAO and Indian TGEB were the best. In terms of color, all the samples were almost similar but that of Sarawak peppers were slightly lighter than the others.

  • The impacts of climate change on yield and evapotranspiration of rice have been modeled using AquaCrop model developed by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Climate change scenario downscaled by Mesoscale Model 5 (MM5) regional model from ECHO-G General Circulation Model (GCM) outputs by Korea Meteorological Research Institute (METRI) was used in this study. Monthly average climate data for baseline (1971-2000) and three time periods (2020s, 2050s and 2080s) were used as inputs to the AquaCrop model. The results showed that the evapotranspiration after transplanting was projected to increase by 4 % (2020s), 8 % (2050s) and 14 % (2080s), respectively, from the baseline value of 464 mm. The potential rice yield was 6.4 t/ha and water productivity was 1.4 kg/$m^3$ for the baseline. The potential rice yield was projected to increase by 23 % (2020s), 55 % (2050s), and 98 % (2080s), respectively, by the increased photosynthesis along with the $CO_2$ concentration increases. The water productivity was projected to increase by 19 % (2020s), 44 % (2050s), and 75 % (2080s), respectively.

  • IDF/FAO Guide to Good Dairy Farming Practice (the second edition) was published last September this year. The objective of the guide for good dairy farming practice is that safe, quality milk should be produced from healthy animals using management practices that are sustainable from an animal welfare, social, economic and environmental perspective. To achieve this objective, dairy farmers should apply good practice in the following areas: animal health, milking hygiene, nutrition (feed and water), animal welfare, environment, and socio-economic management. Although HACCP system has been introduced to some of Korean dairy farms since 2007, the IDF/FAO guide details GAP (Good Agricultural Practice) for dairy farmers emphasizing the production of safe, quality-assured dairy products in a sustainable manner that underpins the future of dairy farming on a local, national and international scale. This paper is to state what good dairy farming practices should be and suggest Korean dairy farmers measures to achieve goals.

  • This study was conducted to compare and evaluate the heavy metal contents of agricultural products in Korea and to compare with relevant international criteria such as the Average Daily Intake(ADI) and the Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake(PTWI) proposed by the joint FAO/WHO Codex Committee on additives and contaminant. Contents of heavy metal in cereals, pulses, potatoes, vegetables and fruits were in the range of $0.010{\sim}0.073$ for Cd, $0.40{\sim}6.45$ for Cu, $0.083{\sim}0.698$ for Pb, $2.45{\sim}16.30$ for Zn, $0.171{\sim}1.378$ for Ni, $0.023{\sim}0.233$ for Cr and $0.026{\sim}0.070$ mg/kg(F.W.) for As. Heavy metal contents of cereals, pulses, potatoes, vegetables and fruits were with natural content levels proposed by FAO/WHO and were similar to value monitored in other countries. Also, average intake of heavy metal from agricultural products was lower than the ADI and PTWI by the joint FAO/WHO Codex Committee on Additives and Contaminants. Therefore, none of the cereals, pulses, potatoes, vegetables and fruits evaluated showed accumulation of such heavy metal high enough to cause health problems to human.
