Changes in chemical, microbiological quality of pan fried oak mushroom and meat, soy sauce glazed hair tail and roasted dodok in wrap packaging, top sealing, vacuum packaging were evaluated during storage 25$^{\circ}C$, 4$^{\circ}C$, -18$^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. The results were as follows: 1) The cases of chilled and frozen storage, there were small increases in the pH from the first day, with no differences between the different packaging methods, with the exception of the vacuum packaging, which was lower. The pH and Aw of the roasted dodok were lower than those of the other foods. The Aw for all three foods at room temperature significantly decreased in the wrap packaging and top sealing on day one, but the rate of reduction was lower when in chilled storage. The VBN increased with increasing length of storage, and temperatures, but the rate of increase was lower in the top sealing and vacuum packaging. The VBN of roasted dodok was considerably lower than with the other foods. The POV increased significantly on the first day or room temperature storage and the rate or increase was low in chilled End frozen storages, and in the vacuum packaging. 2) SPC of the roasted dodok at room temperature increased significantly within five days of storage. but was inhibited within five days in the vacuum packaging with chilled storage. The SPC of the soy sauce glazed hair tail was low in the top sealing and vacuum packaging when in chilled storage. The coliform of the pan fried oak mushroom and meat. on the fifth day of room temperature storage, was close to hazardous conditions for the wrap packaging. From the third day of chilled storage, few coliform were detected in the pan fried oak mushroom and meat, or the soy sauce glazed hair tail, but not in the vacuum packaging, within five days, for all three foods in frozen storage. The S. spp. had exceeded the standard in the wrap packaging and top sealing with the pan fried oak mushroom and meat on the third day at room temperature, but was not detected in the vacuum packaging within five days, and exceeded the standard in the wrap packaging on the fifth day of chilled storage. S. spp. was not detected in the soy sauce glazed hair tail within five days at all storage temperatures. S. spp. was not detected in the roasted dodok within five days of chilled and frozen storage, but was detected from the third day in the wrap packaging. and the fifth in the top sealing, at room temperature, which exceeded the standard. Sal. spp., V parahaemolyticus, E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes were not detected. 3) The Aw was found to be influenced by storage temperature, period and packaging method, while the VBN was significantly influenced by the storage temperature and period. Regarding the SPC, the pan fried oak mushroom and meat was affected by the storage temperature and period, while the soy sauce glazed hair tail was influenced by the packaging method and storage period. The roasted dodok's microbiological quality was influenced by the method of packaging. The chemical, microbiological quality of home-delivered meals were preserved to be five days in the vacuum packaging, at. chilled and frozen storage.

This study was conducted to examine the changes of nutritive substances in the edible potato varieties ('Superior', 'Atlantic', 'Irish Cobbler', 'Dejima') during storage under low temperature condition($4^{\circ}C$, 85-90% RH) from January to May. The items examined in this experiment were moisture, free soluble sugars, starch and vitamin C. The contents of starch and vitamin C decreased with increasing storage period. The rates of decrease in starch and vitamin C contents were high in February and low after that. The contents of moisture and free soluble sugars did not show a constant tendency during storage period. The contents of glucose and fructose were the highest in February and March. Among the four varieties, 'Superior' contained highest vitamin C, free sugar, and moisture, while 'Atlantic' contained the highest starch.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of storage condition, such as temperature and relative humidity (RH), on the change of sensory properties and free fatty acid composition of pre-packed Hanwoo loin (Musculus longissimus) until $21^{st}$ day of storage. The Hanwoo loin was sliced in $1.0{\pm}0.2cm$ thickness and each of the sliced pieces was packed in a foamed polystyrene tray with linear low-density polyethylene (LLD-PE) film to simulate the pre-packed Hanwoo loin sold in retail market, then stored in home-style refrigerator (Con; $5^{\circ}C$, 17%RH), and temperature and RH controled chambers (T1; $5^{\circ}C$, 55%RH, T2; $5^{\circ}C$, 85%RH, and T3; $-1^{\circ}C$, 99%RH), respectively. The sensory characteristics of pre-packed Hanwoo loin during storage in different conditions were measured on raw or after cooking. After 21 days of storage, the loin stored in T3 showed significantly high color and acceptability scores ($7.46{\pm}1.07$, $7.06{\pm}1.36$, respectively) on raw loin, and flavor and acceptability scores ($7.16{\pm}0.90$, $6.90{\pm}0.92$, respectively) on cooked loin than those of others (p<0.05). The concentration of 12 fatty acids of pre-packed Hanwoo loin during storage in different conditions were analysed. The concentration of oleic acid (C18:1, $39.92{\pm}3.22%$), palmitic acid (C16:0, $28.20{\pm}2.42%$), and stearic acid (C18:0, $12.59{\pm}2.79%$) was high in Hanwoo loin on $1^{st}$ day of storage. The concentration of palmitic acid of Hanwoo loin stored in T2 was increased significantly after $4^{th}$ day of storage (p<0.05), and the concentration of myristic acid(C14:0) of Hanwoo loin stored in treated chamber (T1 to T3) was significantly higher than Con after $14^{th}$ day of storage (p<0.05). The concentration of linolenic acid (C18:3) of Hanwoo loin was decreased significantly after $4^{th}$ day of storage in all tested storage conditions (p<0.05). However, there was no significant or consistent change in the concentration of oleic acid (C18:1) during storage period in every Hanwoo loin stored in tested conditions. Although, the concentration of total monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) was decreased in Con and T2 (p<0.05), there was no consistent change in the monounsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids ratio (MUFA/SFA) during storage period (p>0.05). From those results, it was considered that storage condition affects on the sensory acceptability and fatty acid composition of pre-packed Hanwoo loin as storage period was increased.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of freezing rate on aroma retention and to examine the mechanism of aroma retention during freeze drying process. Our experiments were carried out with self-manufactured freeze-dryer. Gelatin gels (2% w / w, 80${\times}$20mm) containing diacetyl(2mg/ml) were frozen unidirectionally (Neumann's model) from the bottom at -45, -30, -20, and -15$^{\circ}C$ and followed with freeze-drying. Under the upper conditions we measured freezing rate and the change of temperature and pressure during freeze drying. Freeze-dried gelatins were cut horizontally into 5 mm thickness from the bottom measured and diacetly contents. Besides, we observed the effect of the relative humidity of the diacetyl contents freeze-dried gelatin during storage. The retained diacetyl content was increased at high freezing temperature and in order of 0∼5, 5∼10, 10∼15, 15∼20 mm section from the bottom of the sample. It was observed that the retained diacetyl content was high in 15∼20 mm section. The retained diacetyl content and freeze-dried gelatin stored in the condition of high relative humidity was decreased significantly but in the low relative humidity case, was it decreased in small amount. The results of our experiment resents that the low temperature freezing and low humidity storing condition is effective for preserving aroma compound in food.

Persimmons suffer from such physiological disorders as flesh softening, peel blackening, and flesh browning, which occur rapidly particularly when exposed to ambient temperature after storage at low temperature, In this study causes of these disorders were examined in terms of respiration and ethylene production of the fruits. Jelly-like flesh softening, considered as symptom of chilling injury, rapidly developed within 3 days of exposure to ambient temperature without modified atmosphere (MA) packaging after low temperature storage. Disorder development was more suppressed at $30^{\circ}C$ than at $20^{\circ}C$; such temperature dependence is closely connected to ethylene production rate of fruits at both temperatures. Inhibition of ethylene production through MA packaging effectively reduced disorder development, which indicates ethylene production is closely related to jelly-like flesh softening disorder. Development of black-staining on peels occurs in fruits exposed directly to ambient temperature, but not in those packaged with thick PE-film. Flesh browning developed only under anaerobic respiration condition of high temperature and MA packaging with thick PE film, and occurred at quick reduction of available oxygen inside MA package at high temperature.

To supply seeds with a good quality as plant materials for herbicide screening and to know whether the germination characteristics could be associated with a differential response to herbicides, germination characteristics and differential responses to herbicides were investigated with 3 species of a genus Setaria ; Yellow foxtail(Setaria glauca P. Beauv, SETGL), Giant foxtail(Setaria faberi Hetrm, SETFA), and Green foxtail(Setaria viridis P. Beauv, SETVI). Degree of dormancy was high in the order of SETGL, SETVI and SETFA. The dormancy of SETGL seed was relatively well removed by room temperature and drying storage, but SETFA and SETVI by low temperature and wetting storage(stratification). For breaking dormancy of SETGL, SETVI and SETFA, it was necessary for being kept under the above storage conditions for at least 2, 4 and 4-5 months, respectively. When the dormancy-breaked seeds were transfered to low temperature($4^{\circ}C$) and drying condition, SETGL showed germination rate of 96% even after 2 month storage. However, SETVI and SETFA showed a decreased germination of 54% and 69%, respectively, with a decreased velocity of germination, indicating that secondary dormancy might be induced. On the other hand, a significant change in germination rate was not observed as the seeds were transfered to room temperature($25^{\circ}C$) and drying condition. The germinability of SETGL seed began to decline from 6th year after storage in room temperature and drying condition. All of 3 species showed relatively high germination rate at alternating temperature of $30^{\circ}C$/$20^{\circ}C$(14hr/10hr) and their germination were not increased by light. All of 3 species exhibited similar responses to cycloxydim, sethoxydim and primisulfuron in greenhouse experiment. In contrast, SETVI and SETFA were relatively susceptible to fenoxapropethyl, SETFA to fluazifop-butyl, SETGL and SETFA to clorimuron-ethyl, and SETGL to EK-2612. The difference in herbicidal response among 3 species was the highest in the treatment of EK-2612. These results suggest that there is no a consistent tendency in responses of 3 species to herbicides which have the same target site. And the relationship between germination characteristics and differential responses to herbicides was not found.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of eight Kimchi cabbage cultivars and the effect of cold storage on the quality of two kinds of cabbage cultivars, such as 'CR-Nongshim', and 'Ryouckgwang'. Early planted and harvested cultivars at July showed that fresh weight was lower than late harvested cultivars at September, because early harvesting time of July was heavy rainy season at highlands of Gangwon province. The firmness was more than 10 N for all cultivars and 'Cheongock', 'Sanjanggoon', and 'Ryouckgwang' cultivars had high value of firmness among them. No differences among the cultivars were found in appearance, freshness, and texture evaluations at harvest. Sweetness and bitterness had statistical differences and showed high value in 'Ryouckgwang' and in 'CR-Nongshim' and 'Sooho'. Two Kimchi cabbage cultivars such as 'CR-Nongshim' and 'Ryouckgwang' were stored at $0^{\circ}C$, $2^{\circ}C$, $5^{\circ}C$, and room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) with more than 90% RH. Significant difference was found in weight loss during room and low temperature storage. In general, weight loss of the Kimchi cabbages at room temperature was significantly increased by 15% within 3 days, whereas it was delayed at low temperature until 3 weeks on all Kimchi cabbage cultivars. Firmness of 'CR-Nongshim' was higher than 'Ryouckgwang' but there was no difference within low storage temperatures. Appearance among the sensory factors was a critical indicator to estimate storage periods. On the point of appearance, storage period at $0^{\circ}C$ was 1 week and $2^{\circ}C$ and $5^{\circ}C$ was 3 weeks and 1 week in 'CR-Nongshim' cultivar, respectively. The storage period of 'Ryouckgwang' cultivar was 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 2 weeks, respectively. Conclusively, storage at $2^{\circ}C$ with more than 90% RH was recommended as optimum temperature to maintain quality in both cultivars.

The percentage of watercore occurrence harvested on Nov. 6 (commercial harvest season) was over 80% but fruits seemed not to reach climacteric stage on the basis of ethylene evolution. The occurrence ratio and severity of watercore gradually decreased with the increase of preshipment storage for 2 months. The level of soluble solids did not show a clear tendency during preshipment storage but flesh firmness, fresh weight, and acidity gradually decreased. Although the overall quality of fruit reduced along with the increase of preshipment storage duration after exposure to retail condition at ambient temperature for 1 week, plastic film wrapping (PE 30 um) as well as plastic film wrapping plus ethylene scrubbing had a benefit on keeping freshness of fruit even after retail condition. Waxed fruit showed excellent appearance but browning disorder was developed. Results indicated that moisture barrier such as plastic film wrapping and ethylene removal have a great potential on keeping freshness of fruit during export which required long-term transport under low humidity environment.

To investigate the feasibility of a new concept of storing Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in a lined hard rock cavern, and to develop essential technologies for constructing underground LNG storage facilities, a small pilot plant storing liquid nitrogen (LN2) has been constructed at the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM). The LN2 stored in the cavern will subject the host rock around the cavern to very low temperatures, which is expected to cause the development of an ice ring and the change of ground condition around the storage cavern. To investigate and monitor changes in ground conditions at this pilot plant site, geophysical, hydrogeological, and rock mechanical investigations were carried out. In particular, geophysical methods including borehole radar and three-dimensional (3D) resistivity surveys were used to identify and monitor the development of an ice ring, and other possible changes in ground conditions resulting from the very low temperature of LN2 in the storage tank. We acquired 3D resistivity data before and after storing the LN2, and the results were compared. From the 3D images obtained during the three phases of the resistivity monitoring survey, we delineated zones of distinct resistivity changes that are closely related to the storage of LN2. In these results, we observed a decrease in resistivity at the eastern part of the storage cavern. Comparing the hydrogeological data and Joint patterns around the storage cavern, we interpret this change in resistivity to result from changes in the groundwater flow pattern. Freezing of the host rock by the very low temperature of LN2 causes a drastic change in the hydrogeological conditions and groundwater flow patterns in this pilot plant.
