  • Soft rot caused by Rhizopus oryzae occurred on unshiu orange (Citrus unshiu Marc.) sampled from commercial markets in Jinju, Korea, 2010. The first symptom of soft rot on orange is a water-soaked appearance of the affected tissue. The infected parts later disintegrated into a mushy mass of disorganized cells followed by rapid softening of the diseased tissue. The lesion on orange was rapidly softened and rotted, then became brown or dark brown. Optimum temperature for mycelial growth of the causal fungus on potato dextrose agar was $30^{\circ}C$ and growth was still apparent at $37^{\circ}C$. Sporangiophores were $6{\sim}20\;{\mu}m$ in diameter. Sporangia were globose and $40{\sim}200\;{\mu}m$ in size. The color of sporangia was brownish-grey to blackish-grey at maturity. Sporangiospores were sub-globose, brownish- black streaked and $4{\sim}10\;{\mu}m$ in size. Columella were globose to sub-globose and $85{\sim}120\;{\mu}m$ in size. On the basis of mycological characteristics, pathogenicity test, and the ITS sequence analysis, the causal fungus was identified as Rhizopus oryzae. To our knowledge, this is the first report of soft rot caused by R. oryzae on unshiu orange in Korea.

  • This study aimed to compare total phenolic, total flavonoid, and vitamin C contents, antioxidant capacities, and sensory characteristics of jangachi made from green kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward) and golden kiwifruit (A. chinensis cv. Hort16A), which were cured with doenjang and kochujang. Golden kiwifruit had higher total phenolic, total flavonoid, and vitamin C contents, and antioxidant capacities than green kiwifruit. Jangachi of both cultivars of kiwifruit had generally higher total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and antioxidant capacities than fresh kiwifruit. Doenjang jangachi of kiwifruit had higher total phenolic contents and antioxidant capacities than kochujang jangachi. Jangachi made from golden kiwifruit cured with kochujang, following pretreatment with sugar solution, had the highest overall quality on sensory evaluation among jangachies tested herein. Together, our findings suggest that kiwifruit jangachi may serve as a good dietary source of phenolics and antioxidants.

  • Betarich carrots were washed at various hypochloric acid(HCA) concentration and steeping time and packed in PE bag keeping at $8^{\circ}C$ for 12 days, in order eventually to examine microbiology, firmness, surface color, whiteness index(WI) and sensory quality. It was found that total bacterial counts at T-II and T-III with the 3 minute steeping were $4.37{\pm}0.19\;\log\;CFU/g$ and $4.27{\pm}0.13\;\log\;CFU/g$ respectively, showing slight decrease compared to control condition. E. coli was not detected at all treatments but less coliforms were detected at the 8-day treatments of T-II and T-III. Treatment of 3-minute steeping showed smaller reduction in firmness than that of I-minute steeping at 12-days, and T-1 (T-3) had the largest (smallest) reduction among them. It was also found that during the treatment the L-value showed decreasing trend, but the parameter a- and b-value showed increasing trend. WI increased, and its change was small with the increase in HCA concentration. The sensory quality check after 8 day storage showed that evaluation of the off-flavor appeared to be significantly high (p<0.05) at both non-treatment and HCA treatment. On the basis of the results above, it is likely to be more effective to prolong the period of circulation of beta rich carrots if you use HCA over 50 ppm for washing betarich carrots. This study will contribute to improve safety and quality in circulation of beta rich carrots.

  • With the popularization of big data environment, big data have been highlighted as a key information strategy to establish national spatial data infrastructure for a scientific land policy and the extension of the creative economy. Especially interesting from our point of view is the cadastral information is a core national information source that forms the basis of spatial information that leads to people's daily life including the production and consumption of information related to real estate. The purpose of our paper is to suggest the scheme of big data analytics with respect to the articles of cadastral resurvey project in order to approach cadastral information in terms of spatial data integration. As specific research method, the TM (Text Mining) package from R was used to read various formats of news reports as texts, and nouns were extracted by using the KoNLP package. That is, we searched the main keywords regarding cadastral resurvey, performing extraction of compound noun and data mining analysis. And visualization of the results was presented. In addition, new reports related to cadastral resurvey between 2012 and 2014 were searched in newspapers, and nouns were extracted from the searched data for the data mining analysis of cadastral information. Furthermore, the approval rating, reliability, and improvement of rules were presented through correlation analyses among the extracted compound nouns. As a result of the correlation analysis among the most frequently used ones of the extracted nouns, five groups of data consisting of 133 keywords were generated. The most frequently appeared words were "cadastral resurvey," "civil complaint," "dispute," "cadastral survey," "lawsuit," "settlement," "mediation," "discrepant land," and "parcel." In Conclusions, the cadastral resurvey performed in some local governments has been proceeding smoothly as positive results. On the other hands, disputes from owner of land have been provoking a stream of complaints from parcel surveying for the cadastral resurvey. Through such keyword analysis, various public opinion and the types of civil complaints related to the cadastral resurvey project can be identified to prevent them through pre-emptive responses for direct call centre on the cadastral surveying, Electronic civil service and customer counseling, and high quality services about cadastral information can be provided. This study, therefore, provides a stepping stones for developing an account of big data analytics which is able to comprehensively examine and visualize a variety of news report and opinions in cadastral resurvey project promotion. Henceforth, this will contribute to establish the foundation for a framework of the information utilization, enabling scientific decision making with speediness and correctness.

  • Flounder sikhe is one of the traditional Korean fermented foods. Because honey, fucoidan, propolis, aronia berry, and horseradish are well known to have natural antimicrobial properties, we investigated their antimicrobial effects on improving the quality of flounder sikhe. Ethanol extracts of propolis inhibited the growth of Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes. The extracts of aronia berry showed similar effects against Salmonella Typhimurium. We also assessed the total polyphenol and total flavonoid content and 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrythydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity in the extracts obtained from these natural materials. The contents of polyphenols and flavonoids were the highest in propolis, which also showed a high DPPH radical scavenging activity. Therefore, addition of propolis 0.5% to flounder sikhe showed optimal improvement, with a storage stability of 15 days at pH 5.39, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content at 24.73 mg/100 g, and total bacterial count at $1.81{\times}10$ colony forming unit (CFU)/g.

  • In this study, ohmic heating was applied for pasteurization of red pepper pow-der, and investigated its pasteurization effect. After pasteurization, seasoned squid-jeotkal was manufactured by using red pepper powder, and its quality changes were investigated. On com-paring sensory evaluation in squid-jeotkal by pasteurized and conventional red pepper powder during storage at 5, 16 and $25^{\circ}C$, quality changes in squid-jeotkal by the pasteurized red pepper powder. But quality change difference between two products were decrease with increasing stor-age temperature. Viable cell counts in two products stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ were increased slowly until 60 days. Viable cell counts in squid-jeotkal by conventional red pepper powder were increased up to ca. 10$^{8}$ CFU/g at 15, 25 $^{\circ}C$ after 30, 15 days, respectively, but that by pasteurized were ca. 10$^{8}$ CFU/g at $25^{\circ}C$ after 30 days. Changes in pH, VBN and NH$_2$-N in two products were shown difference significantly, but were decreased by increasing storage temperature. In squid-jeotkal by conventional red pepper powder, the main free amino acids were glutamic acid, leucine, glycine, aspartic acid and alanine, and these amino acids held 47.95% of the total free amino acid. But in squid-jeotkal by pasteurized red pepper powder, glutamic acid, glycine, aspartic acid, leucine and Iysine, and these amino acids held 57.58% of the total free amino acids.
