  • Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of biogas slurry application on biomass production and the silage quality of corn. Methods: A field experiment was conducted in which corn was grown using different biogas slurry application rates. The effect of 25% to 500% biogas slurry nitrogen replacement (T1 to T14) on the yield and quality indices of corn were studied by field plot experiments. Results: The results revealed that biogas slurry application improved the stem diameter and relative feed value of corn silage in treatments T13 and T11. Moreover, the fermentation quality of corn silage was improved due to an increase in lactic acid content; in comparison with the chemical synthetic fertilizer (CF) group. The crude protein contents of corn silage had no obvious change with increasing biogas slurry application. However, the forage quality index of acid detergent fiber was decreased (p<0.05) in the T11 group compared with the CF group. In addition, higher (p<0.05) 30 h in vitro dry matter digestibility and 30 h in vitro neutral detergent fiber digestibility were observed in the T11 and T13 groups than in the CF group. Conclusion: Based on these results, it was concluded that the optimum biogas slurry application rate for corn was approximately 350% to 450% biogas slurry nitrogen replacement under the present experimental conditions.

  • The national management and retrieval service of the national scholar Content DB are very important. High quality content can improve the user's utilization and satisfaction and be a strong base for both the citation index creation and the calculation of journal impact factors. Therefore, the system is necessary to check data quality effectively. We have closely studied and developed a webbased data quality checking system that will support anything from raw digital data to its automatic validation as well as hands-on validation, all of which will be discussed in this paper.

  • The fatty acid composition of Hanwoo beef was investigated by different quality grades and cuts. Five cuts (strip loin, loin, chuck roll, top round, brisket) were obtained from 15 Hanwoo beef cattle [bulls and steers, 24-30 mon old]. For each quality grade of $1^{++}$, $1^+$, 1, 2, 3, three animals were selected. The contents of C18:0 in chuck roll, strip loin, brisket, top round and loin were significantly higher in 3 quality grades than those of the other grades respectively (p<0.05). The C18:1n9 content in the chuck roll was not significantly different among the different grades, but those of strip loin, top round, brisket, and loin were significantly higher in $1^{++}$ quality grade than those of 3 quality grade (p<0.05). The C18:3n3 content was significantly higher in brisket of $1^{++}$ quality grade and loin of 3 quality grade than the other grades for the same cut (p<0.05). However, those of strip loin, top round and chuck roll were not significantly different (p>0.05) among the different grades. The C18:3n6 content in chuck roll and loin was significantly higher for 2 quality grade than in those of the other grades (p<0.05). For five cuts, total SFA contents for 3 quality grade were significantly higher than in other cuts. The total MUFA content of $1^{++}$ quality grade was significantly higher than in 3 quality grade (p<0.05). The total n-3 PUFA content was not significantly different in chuck roll, strip loin and top round; however, those of brisket were significantly higher in $1^{++}$ quality grade (0.15%) and those of loin were significantly higher in 3 quality grade than in the other grades (p<0.05). The total n-6 PUFA content was significantly higher in 3 quality grade than in those of the other grades (p<0.05).

  • Objective: The objective of this research was to study the electrical properties and quality of frozen-thawed chicken breast meat and to investigate the relationship between these parameters at different times of frozen storage. Methods: Thawed samples of chicken breast muscles were evaluated after being kept in frozen storage at $-18^{\circ}C$ for different periods of time (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 months). Results: The results showed that water-holding capacity (WHC) and protein solubility decreased while thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances content increased with increasing storage time. The impedance module of samples decreased during 8-month frozen storage. Pearson correlation coefficients showed that the impedance change ratio (Q value) was significantly (p<0.05) related to pH, color, WHC, lipid oxidation and protein solubility, indicating a good relationship between the electrical properties and qualities of frozen-thawed chicken breast meat. Conclusion: Impedance measurement has a potential to assess the quality of frozen chicken meat combining with quality indices.

  • Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important food crops in the world. The eating quality of cooked rice is the most important trait japonica rice breeding in Korea. Rice varieties that produce kernels that are firm and fluffy after cooking are generally favored in countries such as India, Pakistan, and Indonesia. Whereas varieties with kernels that maintain its shape, glossiness, savory odor, stickiness, and tenderness when cooked are preferred in Korea. This study analyzed the major physicochemical components of rice grain associated with the eating quality of 20 japonica rice varieties. Physicochemical components such as the amylose content, protein content, amylographic characteristics of polished rice, and texture of cooked rice were tested using a Tensipresser as alternative indirect methods in determining rice eating quality. Evaluation of eating quality of cooked rice using sensory test was conducted with 20 well trained members. The 20 rice varieties in different eating quality showed amylose contents of 17~20%. The amylose content of rice varieties had negative correlation with peak viscosity, however positive correlation with setback viscosity was observed. The stickiness and adhesiveness of cooked rice showed correlation with the amylose content and amylopectin chain length distribution. Rice varieties with good eating quality showed less retrogradation of cooked rice and higher hot viscosity of rice flour in amylogram.
