In this part of the studies on dielectric dehydration of foamed fish-starch paste, qualify stability and shelf-life of the product of which the preparation formula and processing conditions were described in previous report (Lee et al, 1982) were determined by means of accelerated reaction test. The product was stored for 50 days under the conditions of temperatures at 35, 45, and $55^{\circ}C$ in steady state and various water activities of 0.44, 0.52, 0.65, and 0.75, respectively. The loss of available lysine, extent of TBA value, and development of browning during the storage were measured and reaction kinetically analysed to assess quality stability and shelf-life of the product for the storage at room temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. Extent of browning was accelerated with the increase of water activity and temperature marking the time to reach a limit of color and flavor deterioration, or to reach brown color density of 0.17 O.D./g at 420 nm, 106 days at aw=0.44, $35^{\circ}C$, and 41 days at aw=0,65, $55^{\circ}C$, These reaction rates resulted in a prediction of shelf-life, 130 to 110 days in the storage at aw=0.44 to 0.75, $25^{\circ}C$. The quality limit assessed by TBA values and sensory evaluation of rancidity was 87 days at aw=0.44, $35^{\circ}C$, and 30 days at aw=0.75, $55^{\circ}C$ which gave a predicted shelf-life, 128 to 113 days . at aw=0.44 to 0.75, $25^{\circ}C$ storage.

In order to investigate the index component and basis for the shelf-life of the grain share improved Meju, the effect of the storage time and package on the quality of Meju and soy sauce were studied during 90 days storage at $30^{\circ}C$. Also, sensory evaluation for the soy sauces from Meju with various storage time were carried out. During the storage period, moisture content, amylase and protease activity were decreased, on the other hand, the contents of amino-nitrogen and ammonia-nitrogen were increased. Among these components, protease activity was found the major index component for quality control because it was the most important component for soy sauce fermentation and the most changeable component of Meju during the storage period. According to the sensory test, the quality of soy sauce was agreed well with the protease activity of Meju, and the soy sauce from longer storage Meju was inferior organoleptic quality to that from shorter Meju. By the storage quality test, protease activity showed the highest value in 15 days storage Meju and decreased gradually with storage time passed. The basis of protease activity for quality control was 200 (O.D. at 660 nm/g). which was 50% of the initial activity And it was known that the shelf-life of the grain shape improved Meju was about 90 days . It was also shown that the storage in package did not affect noticeably to prolong the shelf-life of Meju on this study.

Fresh sea squirt meat requires a modified processing and preservation process because it has a short shelf life due to its high moisture content and strong proteolytic enzyme activity. In this study, bottled sea squirt meat prepared in vegetable oil (BSMO) to enhance the consumer acceptability was exposed to ${\gamma}$-ray (Co60, 10 kGy/h) irradiation to extend the shelf life without the use of a heating process. Response surface methodology was used to determine the optimal mixing ratio of BSMO containing 5% dehydrated fresh meat. Texture analysis and nutritional evaluation were also performed on a control and BSMO samples. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content and total cell count were measured to determine the shelf life of irradiated BSMO products during chilled storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. According to a panel of 10 trained tasters (aged 20-29 years), the optimal mixing formulation was 80 g meat in 60 mL of mixed vegetable oil (30 mL of olive oil and 30 mL of sesame oil). The highest rated formulation, according to a panel of nine trained tasters (aged ${\geq}30$ years), was 80 g meat in 60 mL of mixed vegetable oil (42 mL of olive oil and 18 mL of sesame oil). Moisture, ash, and protein contents in BSMO did not change significantly (P < 0.05) compared with the control. A higher lipid content ($0.84{\pm}0.23$ to $2.13{\pm}0.61$; P < 0.05) was observed due to the presence of vegetable oil on the surface of BSMO. The vegetable oil raised the hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and resilience of BSMO. BSMO products remained edible after 50 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ based on the VBN content (BSMO 1: $27.92{\pm}0.96$ mg/100 g, BSMO 2: $24.84{\pm}1.95$ mg/100 g) and total cell count (BSMO 1: $4.60{\pm}0.80$ log CFU/mL, BSMO 2: $3.65{\pm}0.20$ log CFU/mL) when compared with standard levels of VBN (25.00 mg/100 g) and total cell count (5 log CFU/mL), respectively. The results showed that irradiated BSMO products could help to expand the processed seafood market and increase the popularity of seafood among the younger generations.

As a series of studies on the preservation methods for boiled-dried anchovies, determination of sorption properties and shelf-life prediction were made for the samples. Dried anchovies, which were gamma-irradiated at pre-established dose (5 kGy) after packaging in both a polyethylene film (PE, 0.1 mm) and a laminated film $(nylon\;15\;{\mu}m/polyethylene\;100\;{\mu}m,\;NY/PE)$, were subjected to a quality evaluation during 4 months at different storage conditions, such as $15^{\circ}C/68%\;RH,\;25{\circ}C/75%\;RH,\;and\;35^{\circ}C/84%$ RH. The sample showed 5.47% of BET monomolecular layer moisture content and the corresponding water activity, 0.15. The velocity constants of browning reaction and organoleptic changes in the sample were in proportion to storage temperature, and $Q_{10}$, values were ranged from 2.17 to 2.40 in a given packaging and irradiation conditions. In the shelf-life prediction of the stored sample at $25^{\circ}C$, non-irradiated groups packaged in PE and NY/PE were 84 days and 125 days. While 5 kGy-irradiated groups in the same packaging were 126 days and 138 days, respectively. This finding proved the efficacy of laminated-film packaging and irradiation treatment in preserving the quality of dried anchovies.

This study was carried out to estimate the effects of glucono-$\delta$-lacton (GDL) on prolongation of shelf-life on Kimchi. Final concentration of added GDL was determined 0.3% according to the result of sensory evaluation. Chemical characteristics and microbiological parameters were monitored during fermentation at 1$0^{\circ}C$. GDL Kimchi showed the initial sharp decrease in pH and gradually increase of pH due to osmotic pressure and then the pH of GDL Kimchi was slowly decreased compared with that of control Kimchi during fermentation. The acidity of control Kimchi was markedly increased around pH 4.5 by growth of microorganism. Otherwise, GDL Kimchi showed that t]le formation of organic acids was slow and little amount compared with that of control Kimchi. HPLC analysis showed oxalic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, malic acid and succinic acid appeared by fermentation. The production of lactic acid changed a lot in control Kimchi, where as little in GDL Kimchi. Growth of L. mesenteroides at initial stage of Kimchi fermentation was remarkably inhibited by adding 0.3% GDL. It retarded also the growth of L. Plantarum and L. breuis at late stage of Kimchi fermantation and led to reduce the softening of texture and retard over ripening of Kimchi. Tn sensory evaluation of Kimchi, GDL Kimchi showed the similar characteristics to the control Kimchi. This result suggested that GDL can be successfully used for the prolongation of shelf-life and sensory evaluation on Kimchi.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in the quality characteristics of mackerel fish fillet under freezing storage conditions. The changes in product quality were determined by measuring pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN); thiobarbituric acid (TBA), lightness ($L^*$), redness ($a^*$), yellowness ($b^*$) values, shearing force, and microbiological evaluation (Total Plate Count, TPC) during 21 days of storage at -20, -5, and $-1^{\circ}C$, and their shelf-lives were established. TPC as an effective quality indicator was used to estimate the shelf-life via linear regression analysis. The TPC increased steadily with increasing storage periods at every temperature (p<0.05) and showed a significant relationship with temperature at $-1^{\circ}C$ (r=0.949), $-5^{\circ}C$ (r=0.919), and $-20^{\circ}C$ (r=0.905). Therefore, based on TPC, the shelf life of the mackerel fillet was noted to be 32 days when stored at $-1^{\circ}C$, more than 51 days when stored at $-5^{\circ}C$, and about 2 months when stored at $-20^{\circ}C$.

ASRP(Ammunition Stockpile Reliability Program) Data is stored and operated in the field of evaluating the ammunition is not only the only field data but also the ammunition performance-oriented data can determine objectively the power of the artillery. However, ASRP has been used as a yardstick to judge the status of ammunitions stockpiled in the field. On the other hand re-evaluation of the accumulated data and in-depth research have not been carried out. A Study on the Effective Management of Artillery Ammunition using ASRP data suggests how to utilize the ASRP data to analyze and manage existing artillery forces whose focus is centered on increasing the performance of artillery ammunitions through setting the test intervals of deployed stockpiled ammunitions, forecasting the shelf-life of ammunitions, and analyzing the effectiveness of the military strength through modelling and simulation.

Calcium lactate has been known extending shelf-life of several lactic acid fermented foods through buffer action with lactic acid and binding of calcium and pectic polysaccharides in the tissue. But, the effects in kimchi during storage and distribution has not been observed. Calcium lactate is tasteless, nontoxic compounds commonly used in a number of food products. Recent observations have indicated the potential usefulness of calcium lactate as food additive which has anticariogenic-, antimicrobial-, anticalculus, anti- carcinogenic effects and enhancement of bone mineral density. In this work we determined the effects of calcium lactate(CaL)-treatment(0, 1, 2 and 3% against salted Chinese cabbage) on the pH, acidity, microbial counts, content of alcohol insoluble substance and calcium texture, color, scanning electron microscopic observation of kimchi tissue and sensory test during storage. pH of CaL treated kimchi were higher(3.78∼3.92) than that of control products(3.58). Total microbe(TM) of CaL treated kimchis were lower but ratio of lactic acid bacteria against TM was higher than those of control products, respectively. Calcium content of treated products were 3-5 times higher than control products. The hardness and crispy taste of treated products were remarkably higher than those of control products evaluated by SEM observation AIS analysis, sensory and textural analysis. Moreover, evaluation on the pH, acidity and sensory test showed the shelf-life of treated kimchi(CaL 2%) to be 25-30 days, which was 13-15 days longer than that of control products.

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.
