Since the reservoir of leptospires organism is consisted of a broad spectrum of animals, the best method of prevention is vaccination. The clinical trial of leptospires vaccine conducted on human volunteer for its immunogenicity and safety. Summarized results are as following : 1. The Oral temperature among vaccinated group ranged from $36.7{\pm}0.46^{\circ}C\;to\;37.0{\pm}0.34^{\circ}C$, while in placebo injected group it ranged from $36.4{\pm}0.46^{\circ}C\;to\;36.7{\pm}0.53^{\circ}C$. There was no association between vaccination and fever (p>0.05) 2. Mild local reactions revealed in vaccinees were swelling (50-75% ), Redness($75{\sim}90%$), and induration ($25{\sim}40%$). Placebo injected group revealed only redness in 12.5% in 1st injection and 37.5% in second injection. The duration local reactions on injection site for th vaccinees and place groups disappeared within 48 hours. 3. Generalized Symptoms complained by the vaccinees were myalgia (25%), back pain(15%), headache (15%), pruritus(15%), and abdominal pain(10%), whereas placebo group complained of headache (25%), myalgia(12.5%), back pain(12.5%), pain in eyes(12.5%), abdominal pain(12.5%) pruritus (12.5%) and nausea(12.5%). 4.

The effect of dietary carrot extract on skin pigmentation and non-specific immunity of red seabream was evaluated in a six-week feeding trial compared to that of astaxanthin. Fish were fed different experimental diets supplemented with three levels of carrot extract (30, 100, and 300 mg ${\beta}$-carotene/kg diet or CE30, CE100, and CE300), 100 mg astaxanthin/kg diet (AXT100), or a diet without supplement as control for 6 weeks. Our results revealed that the specific growth rate and feed conversion rate were not significantly (p>0.05) affected by carrot extract or astaxanthin supplementation for 6 weeks. After 3 weeks of feeding, the dietary carrot extract significantly (p<0.05) influenced the redness ($a^*$) and hue ($H^*{_{ab}}$) of fish skin. CE300 showed the highest $a^*$ and the lowest $H^*{_{ab}}$, suggesting that carrot extract increased the redness of skin color. However, after 6 weeks of feeding, dietary carrot extract significantly (p<0.05) increased the values of yellowness $b^*$ at all three levels. In contrast, AXT100 significantly (p<0.05) increased the values of $a^*$ but decreased the value of $H^*{_{ab}}$. Only CE300 significantly (p<0.05) increased the serum lysozyme activity. These findings suggest that dietary carrot extract can be utilized as a natural feed additive to improve skin pigmentation and health condition of fish.

This study investigated the effect of dietary paprika on the skin coloration of red- and white-colored fancy carp Cyprinus carpio var. koi, in two age groups: 0-age ($7.4{\pm}0.1$ g/fish) and 1-age ($164{\pm}2.9$ g/fish). Three isonitrogenous diets were formulated to contain 0, 5, and 10% paprika (Con, P5 and P10, respectively). Three replicate groups of 0-age fish and two replicate groups of 1-age fish were fed one of the experimental diets for 9 weeks. Survival, weight gain, and feed efficiency were not significantly affected by the dietary paprika level (P>0.05) at both fish sizes. The dietary paprika level influenced the redness ($a^*$), lightness ($L^*$), and yellowness ($b^*$) of fish skin. The $L^*$ value of the skin of the fish fed the P5 and P10 diets tended to decrease with feeding period. The skin $a^*$ value of 0-age fish (small) fed the diets containing paprika increased significantly with feeding period and was higher than that of fish fed the control diet after 3 weeks (P<0.05). However, the $a^*$ value of 1-age fish (large) fed the diets containing paprika tended to increase slightly with feeding period. At the end of the experiment, the skin total carotenoid level was increased significantly in fish of both sizes fed the P5 and P10 diets compared to fish fed the control diet. Therefore, 5% paprika powder in the diet increases the skin redness of red- and white-colored fancy carp, especially in small fish.

The use of artificially synthesized inorganic manure for the production of fruits and vegetables gives rise to soil contamination as well as noxious effects against human. Changes in quality of strawberry (SN) cultivated with a natural organic manure developed to solve such problems were studied during storage at 4$^{\circ}$C for 2 weeks. SN showed higher weight/volume ratio and lower weight loss during storage than strawberry (control) cultivated with commercial synthetic mature. Sweetness was higher in SN (9.2 Brix) than in control (8.2 Brix), and decrease in sweetness during storage was smaller in SN than in control. Redness (b) of strawberry was 32.1 in SN and 30.2 in control, and the redness decreased during storage showing 25.2 and 23.0, respectively, after 2 weeks. Hardness was higher in SN than in control, and decrease in hardness during storage was smaller in SN than in control. Vitamin C content was slightly higher in SN than in control, and mineral contents were generally higher in SN than in control.

As a result of testing cream soup prepared by adding variable amounts of freeze-dried perilla leaves, the moisture content was lowest at 86.91 for the cream soup containing 20% perilla leaves, and the pH was highest at 7.26 for the control group. The brightness was highest at 78.08 for the control group not containing perilla leaves, and the redness was lowest at -12.73 for PS20. The redness increased significantly (p>0.001) with increasing amounts of perilla leaves. As the amount of perilla leaves increased, the viscosity of the cream soup decreased gradually. In terms of bacteria, no microorganism was found until day 1. The control group with 0% camellia leaves contained $4.5{\times}10^3$ CFU/mL on day 3 and all groups contained microorganisms on day 5. The control group showed the highest content of microorganisms at $3.1{\times}10^4$ CFU/mL; PS20 containing the largest amount of perilla leaves showed the lowest content of microorganisms on day 7 and on day 10. The DPPH free radical removal activity of cream soup increased significantly (p>0.001) with the increasing amount of perilla leaves. In the sensory test, the color was highest at 5.3 for PS15 containing 15% perilla leaves, and there was no significant difference compared to that of the 10% group. The group with the lowest color was PS20. The fragrance was also highest at 5.6 for PS15, and the taste and after-taste were highest for PS10 containing 10% perilla leaves. Overall, the preference was highest at 5.3 for PS15 and lowest at 3.6 for PS20, with the greatest content of perilla leaves. Considering these findings, the optimal content of perilla leaves in cream soup would be 10~15%. Adding more than 20% perilla leaves would make the soup less preferable to the control group not containing any perilla leaves.

To evaluate the effect of Ulmus davidiana powder on rice dasik, Ulmus davidiana dasik was made after supplementation with Ulmus davidiana powder(0, 3, 6, 9 and 12%(all w/w)). The proximate component of Ulmus davidiana powder was 7.49% moisture content, 2.33% crude protein, 0.84% crude fat, 14.09% crude fiber and 8.50% crude ash. The moisture content of samples were significantly(p<0.05) lower than that of dasiks with Ulmus davidiana powder. The pH values were significantly decreased with increased Ulmus davidiana powder(p<0.05). The lightness(L-value) was significantly decreased as Ulmus davidiana powder increased(p<0.05). Redness(a-value) of dasik with Ulmus davidiana powder was significantly higher than that of the control group. However redness was decreased with the amount of increased Ulmus davidiana powder. The yellowness(b-value) decreased significantly as Ulmus davidiana powder increased(p<0.05). In the mechanical evaluation, hardness in the groups with Ulmus davidiana powder increased significantly(p<0.05). Adhesiveness of the control group was lower than that of the groups with Ulmus davidiana powder. Springness in the control group was lower than that in the groups with Ulmus davidiana powder. But no significant difference in cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness among groups was found. The intensity of color, odor and astringency of dasik with Ulmus davidiana powder significantly increased as the amount of supplementation increased(p<0.05). And the preference of flavor with 12% Ulmus davidiana powder was significantly lower than that of the control group. In conclusion, rice dasik with less than 9% of Ulmus davidiana powder would be most proper in taste and overall acceptability.

The impact of storage temperature on the changes in acid value(AV), peroxide value(POV), color value, total phenolic content(TPC), and antioxidant activity in perilla seed(PS) was investigated. The PS was stored at 25, 35, and 45℃ for four weeks. An increase in the storage temperature resulted in significantly increased AV, POV, redness, and yellowness of the PS. Conversely, TPC, antioxidant activity, and redness of the PS significantly decreased. The changes in the AV and POV followed a first-order kinetic model, and the kinetic parameters such as k, t_1/2, Q₁₀ and Ea were calculated. The k and t_1/2 values decreased with increasing storage temperature and the Q₁₀ values for the AV and POV were 1.56, 1.91, 4.61, and 3.43, respectively. The Ea for the changes in of the AV and POV in the PS were 70.40, 102.63 kJ/mol, respectively. The half-life values for the AV and POV of the PS at 25℃ were 169.52 and 373.18 days, respectively, while the values at 45℃ for those, were 28.47 and 27.93 days, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of low-fat pork patties containing fat replacers. Pectin(PE) and potato starch(PO) were added as fat replacers and physicochemical properties of the patties were evaluated after oven-roasting or pan-frying. Uncooked and cooked pork patties formulated with the fat replacers were higher in moisture and ash content and lower in fat content than those of the control. The cooking yield and reduction in diameter of the patties were significantly improved by the addition of PE or PO and oven-roasting exhibited a higher cooking yield and lower reduction in diameter than pan-frying (p<0.05). Water holding capacity(WHC) and fat retention were highest in the patties formulated with PE, while the control had the lowest WHC when cooked by oven-roasting. The Hunter L (lightness) values were not different among the patties but the Hunter a (redness) and b (yellowness) values of the low fat pork patties were higher than those of the control and oven-roasting produced higher redness values than pan frying. Hardness and brittleness were lowest in the patties with PE, while cohesiveness and springiness showed no difference among the patties (p<0.05). The sensory analysis results showed that the use of PE or PO improved the overall acceptability of the low-fat pork patties. After 30 days of storage at $-20^{\circ}C$, pH and cooking yield decreased slightly, while hardness increased in all the patties.

To develope Hanbang beef jerky as health food, six kinds of beef jerky were prepared by adding sugar (A), licorice (B) and three kinds of spice extracts (clove: C, fennel fruit: D and Chungyang green pepper extract: E) and mixture of all extracts (F). The effects of the drying method and added spice extracts on the quality characteristics of the beef jerky were evaluated. In general, the air-blast dried beef jerky contained $31{\sim}33%$ moisture, $50.0{\sim}51.2%$ crude protein, $7.2{\sim}7.8%$ crude lipid and $3.0{\sim}3.3%$ crude ash. For the mineral content of the air-blast dried jerky, the most prevalent mineral was Na $(1540.08{\sim}1838.17$ mg%), followed by K, P, Mg, and Ca. The Ca content of the beef jerky was highest in the mixed extract group (88.53 mg%), and the lowest content was in sugar-added group (53.12 mg%). For the color properties, the L-value (lightness), a-value (redness) and b-value (yellowness) were higher in the air-blast dried beef jerky than in the hot air dried samples. The drying methods showed their greatest affect on the redness (a) for all six jerkies (p<0.001). For the preference by sensory evaluation, the beef jerky samples with added sugar (A) and licorice extract (B) had significantly higher scores than the beef jerky samples with the added spice extracts, for both of air-blast drying and hot air drying (p<0.05). Preference for the air-blast dried beef jerkies with added clove (C) and fennel fruits (D) were significantly higher, in terms of taste, color, softness and aftertaste as compared to the respective hot air dried jerkies (p<0.01). Considering all the obtained results, we concluded that licorice and spice extracts can be used as natural preservatives in the development of health foods and the air-blast drying method is recommended to improve the quality characteristics of beef jerky.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical and sensory properties of different almond gruels according to the concentration and pretreatment of the almonds. For the physicochemical parameters, pH, sweetness and viscosity decreased with an increasing almond content, while spreadability, lightness, redness, and yellowness increased. In addition, pH, sweetness, spreadability and viscosity decreased by using baked almonds. Also the L(lightness) and a(redness) color values increased by using baked almonds, whereas the b-value (yellowness) decreased. In the sensory evaluation flavor and nutty taste were significantly different(p<.001) among the samples. The overall preference scores also showed significant differences(p<.001) between the different concentrations of almond. The almond gruels containing 40%, 60%, and 80% almond showed higher preferences than the 0 and 20% concentrations.
