Rinse & Chill^® technology (RCT) entails rinsing the vasculature using a chilled isotonic solution (3℃; 98.5% water and a blend of dextrose, maltose, and sodium phosphates) to rinse out the residual blood from the carcass. Infusion of pre-chilled solutions into intact animal carcasses immediately upon exsanguination is advantageous in terms of lowering the internal muscle temperature and accelerating chilling. This technology is primarily used for purposes of effective blood removal, favorable pH decline, and efficient carcass chilling, all of which improve meat quality and safety. Although RCT solution contains some substrates, the pre-rigor muscle is still physiologically active at the time of early postmortem and vascular rinsing. Consequently, these substrates are fully metabolized by the muscle, leaving no detectable residues in meat. The technology has been commercially approved and in continuous use since 2000 in the United States and since 1997 in Australia. As of January 2022, 23 plants have implemented RCT among the 5 countries (Australia, US, Canada, New Zealand, and Japan) that have evaluated and approved RCT. All plants are operating under sound Sanitation Standard Operation Procedures (SSOP) and a sound Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) program. No food safety issues have been reported associated with the use of this technology. RCT has been adapted by the meat industry to improve product safety and meat quality while improving economic performance. Therefore, this review summarizes highlights of how RCT technically works on a variety of animal types (beef, bison, pork, and lamb).

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) extracts from sweet potatoes (SP) and watermelon (WM) on the oxidative stability of perilla seed oils (POs) over the existing ones. A comparison was done between the oxidative stability of perilla oil (PO) after the addition of 0.1% of SP, and WM extracts and PO without extract. The oxidative stability was measured based on the viscosity, acid value (AV), peroxide value (POV), antioxidant (DPPH) activity, p-anisidine value (p-AV), and fatty acid composition. The viscosities ranges were: PO without extract, from 53.99±0.99 to 74.38±1.61 cps, PO with SP extract, from 53.99±0.10 to 58.73±0.8 cps, and PO with WM extract, from 53.98±0.10 to 56.00±0.70 cps. While the PO containing the SC-CO₂ extracts had significantly lower AV, POV, and p-AV, their antioxidant activity was approximately 10 times higher than that of the PO without extract. There were no significant differences in fatty acid composition between SC-CO₂ extracts added groups and PO without extract (p<0.05). The findings of this study confirmed that the SC-CO₂ extracts from sweet potatoes and watermelon enhanced the oxidative stability of perilla seed oils, and are potential natural antioxidants for use in the food industry.

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a systematic preventative approach for food safety and is generally used in food industry to identify potential food safety hazards. Recently, the Korean Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries planed to applicate HACCP programs as an effective approach to food safety and protecting public health at the aquaculture farm of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. For the purpose, it need to identify what kinds of hazards are in the aquaculture farm. In the present study, we established Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP), which addresses sanitation conditions and practices in the aquaculture farm. SSOP is essential prerequisite programs of HACCP to reduce or eliminate the risk of the hazards being realized. We anticipate that the HACCP programs of aquaculture farm will contribute to supply foods in safety to consumers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the recent development of meat analog, industrialization, and the related legal changes worldwide. Summarizing the current status of the industrialization of meat analog, studies on plant-based meat, mycoprotein, and edible insects were mainly conducted to investigate their sensory properties (texture, taste, flavor, and color resembling meat), nutritional and safety evaluations, acquisition method of meat alternatives, and commercialization. Cultured meat is mainly studied for developing muscle satellite cell acquisition and support techniques or materials for the formation of structures. However, these technologies have not reached the level for active industrialization. Even though there are differences in the food categories and labeling between countries, it is common to cause confusion or to relay false information to consumers; therefore, it is important to provide accurate information. In this study, there were some differences in the food classification and food definition (labeling) contents for each country and state depending on the product shape or form, raw materials, and ingredients. Therefore, this study can provide information about the current research available on meat alternatives, improve regulation, and clarify laws related to the meat analog industry, which can potentially grow alongside the livestock industry.

This study aims to subdivide consumers by attributes determined mainly by consumers of fresh ginseng. It is to compare and analyze the characteristics by cluster, and to deduce the implications on distribution and marketing. For this study, a survey was conducted targeting 250 consumers of fresh ginseng. The factors were deduced through performing the exploratory factor analysis on the results of the survey, and the consumers of fresh ginseng were classified through cluster analysis. As a result of the study, the attributes considered for the purchase of fresh ginseng were condensed to the three factors: physical characteristic factor, safety factor, and cultivation indication information factor. With these as the standard, the consumers of fresh ginseng were subdivided into the three clusters: safety-oriented consumption type, label-centered consumption type, and high involvement consumption type. It was found that there were differences in demographic characteristics and attributes considered for purchase of fresh ginseng by cluster analysis. This study suggests the implications for revitalization of the fresh ginseng industry by subdividing consumers of fresh ginseng and suggesting the characteristics by cluster.

최근 환경친화적 농업정책의 흐름에 따라 친환경 유기농자재 중에서 농업용 키토산에 관한 제품 등록이 토양개량제, 작물생육용, 병해충방제용 등 다양한 형태로 표시되고 있으나, 천연고분자물질인 키틴 원료를 이용한 제품 등록은 미미한 실정이다. 다만 키틴 기질을 함께 이용할 수 있는 키틴분해 미생물에 관한 유기농자재는 일부 등록되어 있다. 현재 국내 키틴·키토산 제조업체는 게껍질에서 산처리와 알카리처리에 의해서 얻어진 키틴 원료를 그대로 판매할 경우 매우 낮은 수익을 얻게 됨으로 탈아세틸화 단계 과정을 거쳐 제조되는 키토산 형태로 판매하거나 산처리와 효소처리에 의한 분자량을 달리한 키토산올리고당 형태로 제품화 하는 경우가 대부분이다. 실제 농업 현장에서는 토양개량을 위해 게껍질을 그대로 이용하는 경우가 있다. 하지만 게껍질에 포함된 40~50%의 탄산칼슘의 분해는 유기산 생성미생물에 의해 분해되어야 한다. 따라서 산업체에서 생산된 탄산칼슘을 제거한 키틴의 사용이 매우 효율적이다. 따라서 키틴생산 산업체에서는 식품용, 의료용 등의 고품질 고비용보다 농업용의 키틴을 저품질 저비용으로 생산함으로써 경쟁력을 가져올 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 농업용 유기농자재 대부분 제품에서 키토산이 약산에 녹여진 상태인 액상임으로 실제적인 키토산의 농도는 1~5% 범위로 매우 낮은 수준이다. 일부 제품의 경우 첨가물로 미량의 키토산올리고당 또는 키토산아제가 포함되어 있는 경우도 있다. 작물이 생산되는 농가 토양내 키틴분해와 키토산분해를 할 수 있는 다양한 토양미생물이 존재함으로 키틴과 키토산을 기질로 하여 토양개량, 작물생육 향상, 병해충 방제 목적으로 적합하게 농업 현장에 잘 적용함으로써 천연에서 얻어진 고분자 키틴·키토산 농자재가 농가의 환경보전 및 농가소득 향상에 매우 의미 있는 역할을 가질 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구보고문에서는 국내 주요 키틴·키토산 생산업체의 소개와 이들 업체의 주요 생산품을 살펴보고, 국립농산물품질관리원의 유기농업자재정보시스템에서 키틴·키토산 원료를 이용한 친환경 유기농자재 업체별 등록현황에 대한 비교·분석을 통하여 국내 키틴·키토산의 농업적 활용 범위를 더욱 확대할 수 있는 기회를 마련하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to organize research trends by analyzing healing studies using emotional insects, and to suggest future research directions. As a result, only six emotional insect species were used for healing purposes, and most of the age groups of the test subjects were elementary school students and the elderly. As for the type of research, field application of the healing program was dominant at 76.5%. Effectiveness verification was mainly conducted through questionnaires before and after participating in the healing program. In some cases, stress-related salivary hormones were used as indicators or clinical tests were conducted by medical staff. Based on the results of this analysis, future strategies such as finding new emotional insect species, developing various types of healing program models, and expanding and subdividing the target subjects were suggested to promote the growth of the healing industry using emotional insects in the future.

Interest and investment in cultivated meat are increasing because of the realization that it can effectively supply sufficient food resources and reduce the use of livestock. Nevertheless, accurate information on the specific technologies used for cultivated meat production and the characteristics of cultivated meat is lacking. Authorization for the use of cultivated meat is already underway in the United States, Singapore, and Israel, and other major countries are also expected to approve cultivated meat as food once the details of the intricate process of producing cultivated meat, which encompasses stages such as cell proliferation, differentiation, maturation, and assembly, is thoroughly established. The development and standardization of mass production processes and safety evaluations must precede the industrialization and use of cultivated meat as food. However, the technology for the industrialization of cultivated meat is still in its nascent stage, and the mass production process has not yet been established. The mass production process of cultivated meat may not be easy to disclose because it is related to the interests of several companies or research teams. However, the overall research flow shows that equipment development for mass production and cell acquisition, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as for three-dimensional production supports and bioreactors have not yet been completed. Therefore, additional research on the mass production process and safety of cultivated meat is essential. The consumer's trust in the cultivated meat products and production technologies recently disclosed by some companies should also be analyzed and considered for guiding future developments in this industry. Furthermore, close monitoring by academia and the government will be necessary to identify fraud in the cultivated meat industry.

The initiative to determine farmland use has been transferred to local side under the decentralized government system in Korea. New Land Act and Rural Development Act support it. Changes in external and internal environments of Korean agriculture require to diversify farmland use. Lpcal development plan may be implemented when specific farmland use plan is prepared. However, (armland use planning has not been prepared by the local governments yet. This study aims to identify problems encountered in current farmland use and suggest directions of effective and reasonable farmland use planning relevant to local conditions. Questionnaire method was used to prove topographical differences of community land demand, Statistical analyses show that farmers desire to utilize marginal farmland for income increase. Growing grass(42.0%) and cash crops(41.7%) was greatly demanded by them. They were generally eager for developing touristic farm (52.1 % ). By topographical characteristics, the eager was greatest in coastal areas, on the contrary, it was relatively low in mountainous areas. There were more farmers who want to expand their farmland in rice farming(48.4%) or rice-horticulture farming(46.9%) areas. Potential retirer among farmers were most in suburban areas, However, it was expected that there would be the highest retirement rate in rice farming areas because of the high rate of aged farmers. Farmland use planning should be incorporated into food production policies and community people's needs for income increase and life improvement. Agriculture promotion areas must be maintained for scale optimized farming and cash crop farming as much as possible. However, minimum portion for other uses in each village or farming community unit should be adopted. Less favored areas will have to be utilized for both agriculture and non-agriculture uses. Priority can be put into touristic resorts as a non-agriculture use. Furthermore, such areas can be used for sustainable agriculture as well as for residence, industry, animal breeding.
