We examined the effect of the acidic liquid from carbonized rice hull(ALCRH) treatments to molded fiber packages(MFP) on weight, Haugh unit, pH and microbial activity of egg to extend the shelf life in egg packaging. Higher concentration and surface spray treatment of the acidic liquid extended the shelf life of egg. ALCRH treatment to MFP improved the performance of the packaging for egg in terms of decreased weight loss and retarded microorganism growth of eggs during storage.

Sodium lactateand sodium citrate, traditional food preservatives, were added to extend the shelf-life of the loow-salted Myungran-jeot, and various chemical and microbiological analyses were carried out with Muungran-jeot, and various chemical and microbiological analyses were carried out with Myungran-jeot femented at 1$0^{\circ}C$. pH was decreased in the beginning stage of fermentation and then increased, whereas the content of lactic acid was increased during fermentation. But, lactic acid production of the low-salted Myungran-jeot with preservative were lower than control. The NH$_2$-N content of the low-salted Myungran-jot with sodium citrate was increased in the beginning of fermentation and then decreased. Sodium citrate inhibited the productions of VBN and TMA during the fermentation of Myungran-jeot, whereas sodium lactate inhibited the productions of VBN and TBA. Sodium lactate inhibited the growths of proteolytic bacteris and fungi. The estimated shelf-lives of the Myungran-jeot with control, sodium lactate, and sodium citrate were about 11, 13, and 13 days, respectively.

The propellant has a short shelf-life because of nitrogen oxides that were released from nitrocellulose decomposition. As-received and surface-modified ACFs were applied to remove the nitrogen oxides with intend to extend the shelf-life of propellant. The specific surface area of modified ACFs was slightly decreased but nitrogen function groups such as pyridine, pyridone and pyrrol were created on the surface of ACFs. As a result, the NO removal capacity of the surface-modified ACF by propellant waste increased about twice than that of the as-received ACF. The shelf-life of propellant was extended about 1.25 times by accompanying surface-modified ACF.

In order to extend the shelf-life of red chili pepper, MA and CA technology were used. In MA storage, red chili peppers(Jinmi and Jangkun) were packaged in 0.03 mm PE film bags(3 kg/bag) having two holes(${\sigma}$2~3 cm) at 2~3$^{\circ}$C or 7~8$^{\circ}$C. In CA storage, red chili peppers(Jinmi) were stored on following gas composition; 5 or 10% CO$_2$ in combination with 2 or 5% O$_2$ at 2~3$^{\circ}$C, respectively. The changes of weight loss and decay rates during MA storage were less in Jinmi than in Jangkun and less at 2~3$^{\circ}$C storage(except O$_2$ 5%, CO$_2$ 10% condition) while in CA it decreased after 40 days of storage. Red chili peppers would be stored for 30 days when stored in MA conditions(0.03 mm PE film bag) and for 60 days when srored in CA condition on O$_2$ 2%, CO$_2$ 10% based on overall quality of sensory evaluation.

Five different liquid sugars, invert sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, sorbitol and oligosaccharide were compared to improve the shelf life of sponge cake and to decrease the contamination of microorganisms in the baking plant. Sucrose was used as a control. The use of 40% of liquid sugar was more effective than that of 20% on the staling and softness. Invert sugar showed the lowest water activity and the highest water holding capacity. Oligosaccharide showed the highest water activity and the lowest water holding capacity among loquid sugars used. 20% of replacemint of sucrose with invert sugar decreased the contamination more than 100% of sucrose.

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) was applied to steamed bread added with black rice in 10%. In terms of storage stability, the steamed bread was found to be susceptible to microbial spoilage and could be helped in its preservation and shelf life extension by MAP. According to microbial and sensory quality criteria, the product shelf life was determined as < 5 days for air package, 5 days for 100% $N_2$ package, 8 days for package of 60% $CO_2$/40% $N_2$, and 15 days for 100% $CO_2$ package. Even though MAP condition with $CO_2$ inclusion was effective in extending the shelf life based on microbial quality, it did not affect the staling of the bread.

The effects of the water extracts from thyme(TM) and tarragon(TG) on shelf-life and quality of kimchi were investigated by measuring the changes in pH, acidity, number of total microorganisms, number of Lactobacillii and Leuconostoc during fermentation at 1$0^{\circ}C$, and were tested for antimicrobial activities against Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. TM and TG were extracted with water, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate and ethanol. Water, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts of TM showed antimicrobial activities against Lactobacillus plantarum and did not observed against Leuconostoc mesenteroides. On the other hand, water, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts of TG showed antimicrobial activities against Leuconostoc mesenteroides and did not observed against Lactobacillus plantarum. The decrease of pH and the increase of acidity showed lower in kimchi prepared by adding water extracts from TM than in products from TG. The number of total microorganisms were also detected less in the kimchi prepared by adding water extracts from TM. And, the properties of barkless of kimchi measured instrumentally were higher for kimchi prepared by adding water extracts from TM, also maintaining good crispness. The optimal addition amounts of both TM and TG for good overall and spicy taste of kimchi were 0.03%. The results suggested the possible use of the extracts of TM and TG can be successfully used for the quality and extension of shelf-life of kimchi.

The objective of this study was to investigate the color development and shelf-life effect of low-fat sausages (LFS) during refrigerated storage according to the additions of sodium lactate (SL), chitosan, and lac pigment. The LFS samples had $73{\sim}76%$ moisture, $3{\sim}4%$ fat, and $13{\sim}16%$ protein with a pH range of 6.4-6.6. The addition of chitosan ($MW\;=\;30{\sim}40\;kDa$) to LFS increased most textural properties. Hunter a (redness) values were increased by the addition of 0.05% lac pigment. The microbial growth of Listeria monocytogenes increased with increasing storage time. The addition of 2% SL and 0.3% chitosan with MW higher than $30{\sim}40\;kDa$ effectively inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes. The microbial growth of L. monocytogenes was further reduced with increasing chitosan MW. These results indicated that the combination of SL with chitosans (MW > 30 kDa, 0.3%) and lac pigment (0.05%) improved shelf-life and color development in LFS during refrigerated storage.

CaCl2 and water soluble degraded chitosan mixtures were used as coagulants for extending the shelf life of tofu. Microbial counts, pH, and turbidity in tofu immersion solution were analyzed during the periods of storage at 4oC and physico chemical properties of tofu were determined by rheological properties, color and yield. There was no significant difference in moisture content and yield between tofu made with and without chitosan. Failure stress and stress relaxation values were reduced when chitosan was added to CaCl2, but there was no significant change among contents of chitosan added to tofu. The pH values were decreased at the beginning and then slowly increased after 14 days storage. The changes in turbidity were increased during storage, but the change in 2.0g degraded chitosan mixture with 7.0g CaCl2 coagulant(2.0:7.0 ratio) was lower than others and initial turbidity was lower as much as chitosan added to coagulant. These data showed that the water soluble degraded chitosan had a good anti microbial effect and increases the shelf life of tofu.

Pleurotus eryngii is one of the most widely cultivated and important edible mushrooms. However, the shelf life of the fruiting body is short, which. To solve this problem, a new cultivar, DanBi 5Ho, of Pleurotus eryngii was developed by mono-mono crossing between monokaryotic strains derived from KNR2598 and KNR2610. The optimum temperature formycelial growth was 25 and that forfruiting body development was 15-16. The quality did not change after a period of 40.0 d at 4. This result was significantly different compared to that ofthe control strain Knneuari 2 Ho. Analysis of genetic characteristics of the new hybrid strain DanBi 5Ho revealeda different profile thanthat of the parental and control strains when random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers we used. The results obtained from this study show that DanBi 5Ho is a new hybrid strain, characterized by improved storability after harvesting.
