The paper explores a tri-trophic food chain model with density dependent mortality of intermediate predator. To analyze this aspect, we have worked out the local stability of different equilibrium points. We have also derived the conditions for global stability of interior equilibrium point and conditions for persistence of model system. To observe the global behaviour of the system, we performed extensive numerical simulations. Our simulation results reveal that chaotic dynamics is produced for increasing value of half-saturation constant. We have also observed trajectory motions around different equilibrium points. It is noticed that chaotic dynamics has been controlled by increasing value of density dependent mortality parameter. So, we conclude that the density dependent mortality parameter can be used to control chaotic dynamics. We also applied basic tools of nonlinear dynamics such as Poincare section and Lyapunov exponent to investigate chaotic behaviour of the system.

Climate changes from global warming and reduction in agricultural land result in volatility of prices of agricultural products, causing a imbalance of food market in Korea. It is necessary to develop a transnational food industry cooperation system among Korea, China and Russia that directly or indirectly affect food industry in terms of the whole industrial network. This study analyzes the value chain and linkage in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries in three nations. The unit structure and the industrial patterns of three nations were derived using the World Input-output Table (WIOT) from 2004 to 2014 every five years. This paper is expected to contribute to develop food security cooperation in the northern part of the Korean peninsula and to promote the mutual growth of food industry through industry linkage and cooperation.

Vacuum cooling of crisphead lettuce by pilot-scale vacuum cooling apparatus, transportation under the conventional and cold-chain systems and distribution were carried out for its freshness prolongation and application of cold-chain system for fresh fruits and vegetables. Changes in temperatures of crisphead lettuce were also measured during transportation. $Q_{10}$ value for respiration rate of crisphead lettuce was $1.7{\sim}2.4$ and its initial freezing point was $-0.2^{\circ}C$. Cooling the vegetable to $0^{\circ}C$ was possible in less than 30 minutes by vacuum cooling. The shelf-life was extended by more than 90% by the combination of vacuum cooling and low temperature distribution.

The global halal market is forecast to grow at an annual average of 5.2 percent from 2017 to $3.07 trillion in 2023 due to the high growth rate of the world's Muslim population, the spread of halal-certified food consumption and the economic growth of the Muslim world. Through this study, the difficulty of obtaining halal certification can be overcome through accurate understanding of the general supply chain and other halal supply chain. Also, by examining the trends and requirements of halal logistics standards in countries with advanced halal logistics systems, halal logistics certification agencies, and halal port logistics, we can help establish our own halal logistics system by finding areas that can be benchmarked in Korea and differentiated from those that can be found. For the safe supply chain management of halal products between logistics Supply Chain, an integrated logistics system shall be developed to manage customs and customs as one-stop, while maintaining a complete halal condition on a series of logistics processes such as storage, transportation, customs clearance, etc. Korea, entry into the halal logistics market through halal integrity guarantee solution or platform development can also be considered, taking advantage of the strength of IT and packaging.

In this paper, the traceability system for rice which is based on RFID technology is introduced. The traceability system plays an important role in the quality management for rice and rice-related food since this system can provide the information of all food chain (production, treatment, distribution and sales etc.) and more quickly identify the cause of the rice and rice-related accident. The main result of the this paper is the basic structure for the traceability system based on RFID technology. To show the implementation case based on this basic structure, the effectiveness of the traceability system is verified. In addition, the prerequisites condition for effective implementation is proposed.

This study analyzed the current status of registered patents related to food tech in Korea and Japan. Using the patent information search services of Korean and Japanese Patent Offices, patents registered during the past 10 years from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2015 were searched with the following key words/phrases: "food or meal or diet" and "program or information system". A total of 669 patents (539 for Korea and 130 for Japan) were finally selected and analyzed. Based on Porter's value chain theory, the patents were categorized into three dimensions related to "manufacturing/processing/distribution", "sales & marketing", and "consumer support". The results showed that in Korea, 41.7% of the total patents were related to sales & marketing followed by consumer support (37.3%) and manufacturing/processing/distribution (21.0%). In Japan, patents related to consumer support accounted for 56.2% followed by manufacturing/processing/distribution (32.3%), and sales & marketing (11.5%). In the area of manufacturing/processing/distribution, "food quality management system" in Korea, and "food manufacturing and processing management system" and "food safety control and hazard analysis system" in Japan tended to show a significantly higher proportion of patents registered (p<.05). Under sales & marketing, patents in the categories of "food purchase and delivery service system" in Korea and "restaurant information sharing system" in Japan tended to be more frequently registered (p<.05). Finally, in the area of consumer support, "kitchen facility and cooking device control system" in Korea and "menu and nutrition management system" in Japan tended to account for a significantly higher proportion of patents registered (p<.001). The results are expected to provide useful insights into the development of new patents and markets for food tech in the future.

Cold storage and transportation facilities play major roles in the implementation of fishery cold chain systems. Most fishes are more easily perishable than other food products such as agricultural products and livestock products. Therefore, fishery cold chain systems were earlier introduced than other food clod chain systems. It is acknowledged that a reefer ship as a component of cold chain systems was used in the fishery transportation in the Joseon Dynasty. But researchers disagree on the introduction time of a fishery reefer ship. This study investigated the introduction time of a fishery reefer ship by some conditions including the number of private cold storage facilities, the magnitude of fishing vessels, and the plenty catch of fish species. According to reviewing the introduction conditions of fishery reefer ships, it was estimated that fishery reefer ships were introduced in 15th century. Therefore, the introduction time of a fishery reefer ship is more advanced about 300 or 400 years than as we know.
