Survial and emergency food packets were developed for use by people isolated in adverse circumstances. These products are made from cereals suchasrice, barley and wheat, and from nutritionally defined products, such as glucose, sodium caseinate, powdered milk, hydrogenated vegetable fat and so on. The caloric distribution of the survial packet was adjusted to 55% carbohydrate, 33% fat, and 12% protein for maximum body water retention. The raw materials were mixed thoroughly and then compressed into bars at 4,000 psi (survial) and at 7,000 psi (emergency). Compressed bars of the emergency packets were coated with edible coatings for protection from insects and microorganisms and prevention of cracking. These products are 4.0-4.4 Cal. per gram and 4.2-4.9 Cal. per cubic centimeter. The texture of the bars makes them convenient to carry and eat.

To isolate new antioxidants from twelve edible seaweeds, mixed methanol and chloroform extract of marine algae was fractionated into several subfractions and their antioxidant activities were measured by using AOM and 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Especially the aqueous-methanol soluble fractions of brown and red algae showed a considerable antioxidant effect. Their antioxidant activities were stronger than synthetic antioxidants such as BHA, BHT, under the same concentration. Further fractionation of the aqueous-methanol soluble fractions using silica gel column chromatography yielded five subfractions. Among them methanol fraction exhibited high DPPH quenching activities. Also, it was confirmed to be benzene-derivative substances of two compounds by UV, HPLC, GC/MS analysis. Its each molecular weight was about 181, 238. These results suggested the existence of two effective natural antioxidant compounds in three edible marine algae.

The accuracy of reference point of VLBI antenna is mandatory to perform collocation of different space geodetic techniques. In this study, we evaluated the optimal methods for the 3D circle fitting to enhance the accuracy of the reference point of VLBI antenna. Two kinds of methodologies for the orthonormal coordinate system with translation of planar observation point and the unitary coordinate transforamation were suggested and their fitting accuracies were evaluated where the orthogonal distance was calculated by residual between observation point and fitting model and the recursive calculation was performed to improve the accuracy of 3D circle fitting. Finally, we found that the methodology for the unitary coordinate transformation is highly appropriate to determine the optimal equation for azimuth-axis and elevation-axis of VLBI antenna. Therefore, the reference point of VLBI antenna with high accuracy can be determined by the intersection of the above two axises (azimuth-axis and elevation-axis). This result is expected to be utilized for a variety of researches for connection between VLBI observation results and the national control point.

A Jeju local variety of Italian millet (Setaria italica Beauvois) was grown at five seeding rates (6, 9, 12, 15 and 15 kg/ha) from May 1 to August 25, 2003 at Jeju to determine influence of seeding rate on agronomic characters, forage yield and quality. Days to flowering increased from 89 to 96 days as seeding rate increased from 6 to 18 kg/ha. The plant height increased from 128 to 148cm as seeding rate was increased from 6 to 12 kg/ha and then decreased to 131cm at a rate of 18 kg/ha. With increasing seeding rate, stem diameter, number of leaves, number of nodes, leaf width and weight per plant decreased but leaf length had the same trend with plant height. As seeding rate increased from 6 to 12 kg/ha, fresh furage, dry matter, crude protein, and total digestible nutrients (TDN) yield increased from 35.93 to 54.83 MT/ha, 10.49 to 17.43 MT/ha, 0.94 to 1.79 MT/ha and 5.33 to 9.27 MT/ha, respectively, and then decreased with further increased seeding rates. Crude protein, either extract, nitrogen free extract, and TDN content increased 9.0 to 12.01％, 1.3 to 1.8%, 45.6 to 47.8% and 50.8 to 55.0%, respectively, but crude fiber content decreased 35.2 to 30.0% and crude ash declined 5.8 to 8.4% as seeding rate increased from f to 18 kg/ha. The optimum seeding rate to obtain the highest forage yield was estimated to be 12 kg/ha.

Recently, the market for ready-to-use vegetables has increased largely due to consumer demands, which led to the production of minimally-processed frozen crushed garlic products. This study was designed to determine the effect of electron beam irradiation (0-7 kGy) on microbial decontamination, bioactive compounds, and antimicrobial activities of frozen crushed garlic obtained from Korea and China. The microbial counts (total bacteria, yeasts & molds) were reduced from log 3-4 CFU/g to non-detectable levels as a result of irradiation at 4 kGy. Irradiation treatment at 4 kGy did not affect the amount of alliin, allicin, total pyruvate, and total thiosulfinate of crushed garlic, however, this dose induced insignificant changes in antibacterial activities against pathogenic bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Yersinia enterocolitica. Therefore, electron beam irradiation less than 4 kGy can be considered suitable to improve the microbial decontamination without altering the biological activity of frozen garlics.

In order to improve forage characteristics of Italian ryegrass by genetic transformation, an efficient callus induction from mature seed and optimal plant regeneration system were established using a domestic cultivar 'Kospeed'. Addition of 5 mg/L of 2,4-D showed highest frequency of embryogenic callus induction from mature seeds. N6 medium showed higher frequency of both callus induction and plant regeneration as compared with MS and SH medium. The highest plant regeneration frequency 67% was obtained when embryogenic calli were transferred to N6 medium containing 1 mg/L 2,4-D and 5 mg/L BA. Supplementation of regeneration medium with sucrose at 30 g/L level maximized regeneration frequency as compared to the other concentrations. These data would be very helpful for molecular breeding of domestic Italian ryegrass cultivar through genetic transformation.

This study attempted to determine whether Photostimulated Luminescence (PSL) is applicable for the detection of post-irradiated foods by measuring the PSL photon counts of unirradiated and irradiated dried spices and herbs. A total of 19 dried spices and herbs was irradiated with a $^{60}Co$ $\gamma$-ray source at 1, 5 and 10 kGy followed by measurement of PSL photon. The photon counts of unirradiated samples below 700 correspond to negative. Fifteen samples irradiated over 1 kGy showed photon counts of more than 5,000, indicating irradiation treatment. Intermediate counts (photon count 700-5,000) were observed in irradiated white/black pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon bark at 10 kGy. These results suggest that it is possible to detect whether dried spices and herbs were irradiated by analyzing PSL, with the exception of white/black pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon bark. Irradiated white/black pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon bark containing low levels of minerals were not sensitive to PSL. Therefore, further investigation is sugguested to be performed by Thermoluminescence (TL) analysis or another validated or standardized method.

The antioxidant and alcohol-degrading enzyme activities of soybean sprout sugar solutions (oligosaccharide and sucrose, $50^{\circ}Bx$) were characterized under different soaking conditions. The ratio of sugar solution to sprout content was 25%, 50%, and 75% (w/w), and the soaking times studied were 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. Higher 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity was detected in case of the oligosaccharide solution, compared to the sucrose solution. A similar tendency was observed for alcohol-degrading enzyme activity. When the ratio of sugar solution to sprout content was 50% (w/w), the total phenol and flavonoid contents were found to be higher, compared to those observed at 20% (w/w). However, we did not observe a significant difference between 50% and 75% (w/w). Soaking time did not significantly affect the antioxidant and alcohol-degrading enzyme activities of the solutions. As a result, when oligosaccharide solution was used for soaking soy sprouts at a ratio of >50% (w/w), higher antioxidant and alcoholdegrading enzyme activities were observed.

To improve the standardized quality of gochujang produced by major companies, the quality characteristics of 29 gochujang samples produced by regional small- and medium-scale manufacturers were determined. The average moisture content, crude protein content, pH, acidity, and salinity of gochujang from regional manufacturers were found to be 34.32-45.53%, 5.07-5.68%, 4.61-4.92, 3.30-3.72%, and 9.93-16.14%, respectively. The contents of reducing sugar, amino type N, and capsaicinoids were found to be 16.81-29.81%, 191.72-660.55 mg%, and 32.49-79.58 mg/kg, respectively, and the ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-amylase activity were 2.52-4.15 and 26.36-36.47 U/g, respectively. These values varied significantly across regional manufacturers. In addition, overall, gochujang had a range of 23.93-55.64% moisture content, 4.01-7.30% crude protein content, 105.47-1092.00 mg% amino type N content, and 8.74-181.50 mg/kg capsaicinoid content. These results indicate that the quality characteristics of gochujang showed a wide distribution but met the Korean Industrial Standards. Therefore, these data can be used for quality control of gochujang.
