  • Effective storage facilities are required to stabilize the price of agricultural and marine products to preserve their qualities due to the big fluctuation of shrimp price in Korea. It is easy to make the cave because of good conditions of the land configuration, soil and convenient transportation. The cave storage can save the cost about 40% in building site and equipment, and about 50% in maintenance comparing to existing low temperature storage facilities. The cave storage provide to improve the quality of their stored products with the low heat conductivity, the constant temperature and humidity year round. Therefore, more low temperature storage facilities are required because the items are expanded from potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, garlics, apples and chestnuts to tangerines, grapes, cabbages, radishes, and wet ginsengs. The demands of the low temperature storage facilities can be substituted into the cave storage facilities. Thus, studies are conducted to observe the changes of the components of the pure and the seasoned salted shrimps with fermentation period during stored at room temperature in cave and to establish the storing at underground facilities to produce high quality salted fish to make profit.

  • Grapes (Vitis spp. L.) are the third most produced fruit in the world. Crown gall disease caused by Agrobacterium vitis forms galls in the stems of the grapevines and reduces the vitality of the fruit trees, resulting in reduced yields. This pathogen has occurred in vineyards worldwide and caused serious economic losses. It is a soil-borne disease, so Agrobacterium vitis can survive for several years in vineyards and is difficult to control. Additionally, since there is no effective chemical control method, the most effective control method is the breeding of resistant varieties. To make the resistant variety, marker-assisted selection (MAS) enables fast breeding with low cost. In this study, we applied a genome-wide association study (GWAS), by combining phenotyping and genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), for the development of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker set related to crown gall disease using 350 grapevine varieties. As a result of the GBS based genotyping analysis, about 58,635 SNPs were obtained. In addition, the phenotypic analysis showed 35.2% resistance, 73% moderate susceptibility and 16.4% highly susceptibility. Moreover, after confirmation, two genes (VvARF4 and VvATL6-like) were shown to be related to crown gall disease based on the results of GWAS analysis, using the phenotypic data, and GBS. High-resolution melting analysis (HRMA) was performed using the Luna® Universal Probe with real-time PCR to distinguish the melting peaks of the resistant and susceptible varieties. Our data show that these SNP markers are expected to be helpful in evaluating resistance against grapevine crown gall disease and in breeding.

  • The purpose of this study was to apply the microgenetic analysis method for development of information on an individual's change in a certain area during a consistent time period to seek change in scientific questions that elementary school students create. The study subjects were six 6th graders in I elementary school located in Kyunggido with the students conducting 6 sessions of two observational tasks about dry grapes contained in soda pop and candlelight. Information were collected through students' scientific question development paper, record of field observation and interviews. The results of this study are as follows: first, the number of scientific questions that the elementary school students developed showed a tendency for reduction; second, the changes in type of scientific questions bring different results, which depend on a particular characteristic of the tasks; third, By observing pattern changes in scientific questions of each individual, it was found that different results show for each time for the same task, which in other words means that there exists variability within an individual. Also, variability between individuals were shown by confirming that the change pattern for each person were diverse. Thus, the result of this study shows the following implications on education of scientific question development. For students, scientific question development mean more opportunities to increase the process of developing and acquiring knowledge. Therefore, it is important to create situations where one can come up with scientific questions. In addition, analysis in tasks' nature when selecting tasks would be necessary to develop diverse scientific questions.

  • Muscat Bailey A grapes, one of the major grape varieties in Korea, contain 18-20% (w/w) sugars, which is less than the amount required to make red wine. In the present study, fermentation of freeze-concentrated Muscat Bailey A grape juice to $24^{\circ}Brix$ was performed using several industrial wine yeasts, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae $OC_2$, S. cerevisiae Fermivin and S. cerevisiae W-3. During fermentation, changes in the levels of soluble solids, alcohols, and yeast viable counts were monitored. Wine quality parameters including organic acid, minor alcohol, sensory score, etc. were also analyzed. Alcohol contents reached maximal levels after 9 days of fermentation, and were 12.6% (v/v) when Fermivin was used and 13% (v/v) when strains $OC_2$ and W-3 were used. No major difference between strains was apparent, except that Fermivin fermentation was somewhat slower in terms of both alcohol production and sugar consumption. Similar levels of soluble solids and total phenols were measured in wines fermented by each of the three strains. The total acid level of W-3 wine was high, whereas the alcohol content of Fermivin wine was low. Although the wines were variable in terms of acetaldehyde and minor alcohol contents, the levels of these materials were much lower than the limits set by the Korean National Tax Service. Upon sensory evaluation, $OC_2$ wine obtained the highest scores in terms of color, flavor, and overall acceptance. However, the best taste score was awarded to the Fermivin wine, which had the same flavor score as $OC_2$ wine but a slightly lower overall acceptance score.

  • Ellagic acid (EA) is a phenolic compound in fruits and nuts including raspberries, strawberries, grapes and walnuts. Previous studies have indicated that EA possesses antioxidant activity, growth-inhibition and apoptosis-promoting activity in cancer cells. However, macrophage mediated cytotoxicity and immunomodulating effects on cancer cells have not been clarified. In the present study, we show that EA increased effects on macrophage mediated tumoricidal activity and NO production without direct tumor cell cytotoxicity. To further determine whether TLR4 (toll like receptor 4) is involved in anti-tumor activity, cells were treated TLR4 signaling inhibitor, CLI-095 in the presence of EA. CLI-095 treatment partially reduced macrophage-mediated tumoridial activity. EA also has inhibitory effects of NO production induced by LPS, whereas phagocytic activity was not changed. These results suggest that EA induces macrophage mediated tumoricidal activity which is partially related to TLR4 signaling and has a potential adjuvant in cancer therapy.

  • Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound frequently found in grapes. The biological actions of resveratrol have been extensively investigated both in vitro and in vivo. The interactions of resveratrol with commonly-consumed drugs, however, have rarely been studied. In this study, the cytotoxic properties of resveratrol on the hepatic and intestinal cells in the presence of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, including acetaminophen (AAP), aspirin (Asp), and ibuprofen (Ibu), were evaluated. The cytotoxic effects of resveratrol on hepatic HepG2 and colonic HCT 116 cells were not markdely changed in the presence of AAP, Asp, or Ibu. Conversely, the cytotoxicity of OTC drugs was not affected by resveratrol either. Concentrations of resveratrol below 10 mM significantly increased HepG2 cell growth after 48 or 72 hr incubation; however, the growth-stimulating effect was not observed in the presence of AAP. When HCT 116 cells were treated with OTC drugs before or after resveratrol, the cytotoxic effects were not significantly altered. The present study provides basic information for the potential health effects of the interactions between resveratrol and commonly-consumed OTC drugs.

  • In order to investigate some chemical components, higher alcohols, ethyl acetate and volatile compounds of Vitis vinifera red wines were analyzed by HPLC, GC and GC-MS. During the process of ripening for the content of wine and acids were much changed, particurally the content of tartaric acid was decreased largely. Content of total phenolics and phenol flavonoid in wines which manufactured with Malbec varieties as 470mg/L and 245mg/L respectively, was higher than those in Cabernet sauvignon (310mg/L, 135mg/L) and Cabernet franc (425mg/L, 125mg/L) wines, and nonflavonoid was higher in Cabernet franc wine(300mg/L) than in others. Content of acetaldehyde was higher in Malbec wine (33mg/L) than in Cabernet sauvignon (26mg/L) and Cabernet franc (28mg/L) wines. Amount of methyl alcohol, propanol and isoamyl alcohol were higher in Cabernet sauvignon wine than in others, and isobutanol was more in Malbec wine(64mg/L), ethyl acetate was more in Cabernet franc wine as 35mg/L than in Malbec(28mg/L) and in Cabernet sauvignon (23mg/L) wines. Volatile compounds were isolated about 87~91 varieties from concentrates of three red wines by GC, and thirty-five compounds including terpine-4-ol were identified by GC-MS.

  • The Wairarapa Valley occupies a predominantly rural area in the lower North Island of New Zealand. It supports a mix of intensive farming (dairy), dry stock farming (sheep and beef cattle) and horticulture (including wine grapes). The valley floor is traversed by the Ruamahanga River, the largest river in the Wellington region with a total catchment area of 3,430 km2. Environmental, cultural and recreational values associated with this Ruamahanga River are very high. The alluvial gravel and sand aquifers of the Wairarapa Valley, support productive groundwater aquifers at depths of up to 100 metres below ground while the Ruamahanga River and its tributaries present a further source of water for users. Water is allocated to users via resource consents by Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC). With intensifying land use, demand from the surface and groundwater resources of the Wairarapa Valley has increased substantially in recent times and careful management is needed to ensure values are maintained. This paper describes the approach being taken to manage water resources in the Wairarapa Valley and redefine appropriate limits of sustainable water use. There are three key parts: Quantifying the groundwater resource. A FEFLOW numerical groundwater flow model was developed by GWRC. This modelling phase provided a much improved understanding of aquifer recharge and abstraction processes. It also began to reveal the extent of hydraulic connection between aquifer and river systems and the importance of moving towards an integrated (conjunctive) approach to allocating water. Development of a conjunctive management framework. The FEFLOW model was used to quantify the stream flow depletion impacts of a range of groundwater abstraction scenarios. From this, three abstraction categories (A, B and C) that describe diminishing degrees of hydraulic connection between ground and surface water resources were mapped in 3 dimensions across the Valley. Interim allocation limits have been defined for each of 17 discrete management units within the valley based on both local scale aquifer recharge and stream flow depletion criteria but also cumulative impacts at the valley-wide scale. These allocation limits are to be further refined into agreed final limits through a community-led decision making process. Community involvement in the limit setting process. Historically in New Zealand, limits for sustainable resource use have been established primarily on the basis of 'hard science' and the decision making process has been driven by regional councils. Community involvement in limit setting processes has been through consultation rather than active participation. Recent legislation in the form of a National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management (2011) is reforming this approach. In particular, collaborative consensus-based decision making with active engagement from stakeholders is now expected. With this in mind, a committee of Wairarapa local people with a wide range of backgrounds was established in 2014. The role of this committee is to make final recommendations about resource use limits (including allocation of water) that reflect the aspirations of the communities they represent. To assist the committee in taking a holistic view it is intended that the existing numerical groundwater flow models will be coupled with with surface flow, contaminant transport, biological and economic models. This will provide the basis for assessing the likely outcomes of a range of future land use and resource limit scenarios.

  • We compared the physicochemical properties of, and volatile components in various commercial fruit vinegars (made from apples, grapes, and persimmons). Total acidity was highest in grape vinegars. Significant between-sample differences were evident in total and reducing sugar contents. Brownness, turbidity, and overall color difference (the ${\Delta}E$ value) were highest in persimmon vinegars. Free sugars were composed mainly of fructose, glucose, sucrose, and maltose. Major organic acids were present in the (descending abundance) order acetic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, and succinic acid, among-samples difference were negligible. Nine-essential free amino acids were detected in nine types of grape and persimmon vinegars, and in six varieties of apple vinegar. Among 17 types of volatile compounds identified in apple vinegars, 12 in grape vinegars, and 33 in persimmon vinegars, the main volatile components were acetic acid, ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, isovaleric acid, isoamyl alcohol, propanoic acid and phenethyl acetate. Volatile chemicals in commercial fruit vinegars were effectively analyzed using a SAW e-nose.

  • We evaluated the physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics of, bioactive compounds in grape juice prepared from different grape varieties grown in Korea, such as Campbell Early, Steuben, and Muscat Bailey A (MBA), with respect to heating time (30, 45, or 60 min) and temperature ($60^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$, or $90^{\circ}C$). We found that long heating time and high temperature, especially treatment at $90^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, significantly affected the physicochemical properties and bioactive compound levels of grape juice. Among the grape juice varieties, Campbell Early juice had the highest level of bioactive compounds. Sensory evaluation scores showed that heating of musts at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 min was associated with the most preferred sensory attributes for Campbell Early grape juice, whereas the most preferred juices from Steuben and MBA grapes were from musts heated at $70^{\circ}C$ for 60 min and at $70^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, respectively. The bioactive compounds of juice from the three grape varieties were optimal using the above-mentioned processing times and temperatures.
