The aim of this research was to develop predictive models for the growth of spoilage bacteria (total viable cells, Pseudomonas spp., and lactic acid bacteria) on frankfurters and to estimate the shelf-life of frankfurters under aerobic conditions at various storage temperatures (5, 15, and $25^{\circ}C$). The primary models were determined using the Baranyi model equation. The secondary models for maximum specific growth rate and lag time as functions of temperature were developed by the polynomial model equation. During 21 d of storage under various temperature conditions, lactic acid bacteria showed the longest lag time and the slowest growth rate among spoilage bacteria. The growth patterns of total viable cells and Pseudomonas spp. were similar each other. These data suggest that Pseudomonas spp. might be the dominant spoilage bacteria on frankfurters. As storage temperature increased, the growth rate of spoilage bacteria also increased and the lag time decreased. Furthermore, the shelf-life of frankfurters decreased from 7.0 to 4.3 and 1.9 (d) under increased temperature conditions. These results indicate that the most significant factor for spoilage bacteria growth is storage temperature. The values of $B_f$, $A_f$, RMSE, and $R^2$ indicate that these models were reliable for identifying the point of microbiological hazard for spoilage bacteria in frankfurters.

모델 현장으로 야외 임시 생선 판매장을 설치하여 TTI가 부착된 고등어 및 명태의 판매 중 TTI의 색 변화와 생선품질을 모니터링하였다. 생선은 스티로폼 박스 위에 얼음을 깔고 그 위에 진열되었고, 주기적으로 얼음을 채워서 신선도를 유지시켰다. 일정 시간 간격마다 고등어, 명태, TTI를 채취하여 TTI의 색 변화와 냉장생선의 품질 정도를 측정하였다. 품질 인자로 VBN과 Pseudomonas spp.를 고등어와 명태 각각에 대하여 적용하였다. 부패 시점은 VBN과 Pseudomonas spp.이 특정 수준에 도달했을 때로 간주하였다. 그 결과 온도가 높은 날에는 생선이 부패되기 시작하였고 그 시점에서 TTI 색이 종료점(제품 특성에 따름)에 도달하였다. 따라서 생선의 부패 시점을 TTI의 색 변화를 관찰함으로써 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to examine the microbiological quality indicators (total bacterial count and coliform count) and physicochemical quality indicators (pH, redness, volatile basic nitrogen [VBN] content) of meat according to various storage temperatures (-20~15℃) and packaging methods (wrap, vacuum). Based on these results, we proposed a safe consumption period. Redness, pH, and VBN content were not considered appropriate for setting the expiration date, as the redness and pH of the meat after spoilage were better than the standard values for both vacuum and wrap packaging (p<0.05). Additionally, the VBN content at 2 and 4℃ increased slightly (fresh level) until the initial time of spoilage (1.0×10⁶ colony-forming unit [CFU]/cm²) and then increased rapidly thereafter. Therefore, the results were not consistent with microbial spoilage. When the decay point was evaluated based on the presence of microorganisms, vacuum packaging extended the storage period approximately 2.5-fold when compared with wrap packaging, and the meat could be stored at 2 or 4℃ for 40 or 23 days, respectively. Therefore, to evaluate meat quality, microbial indicators should be considered first. The microbiological standards proposed in this study can be used for safety management during the distribution of meat. However, to ensure meat safety, additional investigations of appropriate indicators of freshness must be conducted.

A bacteriological survey for 20 large grocery stores (M 1 to M20) in Korea was investigated for one year. The average detection rate of Esherichia coli was $22\%$ (166/763) for 7 kinds of ready-to-eat food through the year, where each grocery store and each type of food showed different detection rates. Eleven grocery stores showed lower detection rates, while 9 grocery stores showed a higher than average rate. Especially, M3 showed a rate that was twice as high as the average and one which was 7 times higher than M14, which had the lowest rate of $6\%$ E. coli detection. The detection rate for each type of food was: $38\%$ (41/109) for Kimbop, $31\%$ (34/109) for vegetable salad, $19\%$ (21/109) for bean-curd, $18\%$ (20/109) for the cooked materials used in making Kimbop, $17\%$ (19/109) for Hoe (sliced raw fish) and Sushi (Japanese vinegared rice delicacies), and $11\%$ (12/109) for cooked pork hock. During the summer, the E. coli detection rate averaged $43\%$ (71/166), which was twice as high as other seasons. Most (89/100) of the food contacting surfaces contained more than the critical limit $(1.3\;log_{10}\;CFU/10cm^2)$ of aerobic viable cell counts (AVC). The $log_{10}$ AVC and $log_{10}$ coliform count (CC) of 218 meat samples (beef, pork, and chicken) ranged between 4.6-7.1 CFU/g and 1.9-6.4 CFU/g, except for 41 meat samples $(19\%)$ which were found to contain no coliform. There was a definite correlation between the $log_{10}$ AVC and $log_{10}$ CC, and the values of $log_{10}$ CC made a more accurate straight than the $log_{10}$ AVC, which are variable. From these results, it is suggested that a detection rating of less than 2.1 CFU/g of $log_{10}$ CC (correspond to 5.0 CFU/g of $log_{10}$ AVC) is the critical point of freshness, and a rating of more than 6.3 CFU/g of $log_{10}$ CC (correspond to 7.0 CFU/g of $log_{10}$ AVC) can be considered an initial spoilage point.

Ginseng was stored at a temperature lower than the freezing point after a treatment of freezing point depressing agents to extend its freshness. Respiration rate at freezing point of ginseng, -1.7${\pm}$0.1$^{\circ}C$, was inhibited 92% and 97% compared with those stored at 5$^{\circ}C$or 20$^{\circ}C$ , respectively. Sorbitol solution chosen as a freezing point depressing agent lowered the freezing point of ginseng to about -3.0$^{\circ}C$. Ginsengs treated with the sorbitol solution and packaged with 0.06mm LDPE was stored at -2$^{\circ}C$ , and the quality change was then compared with ginsengs stored at 0$^{\circ}C$ and 5$^{\circ}C$. Weight loss of ginsengs stored at -2$^{\circ}C$ for 100days was 1.5%, which is about 2.6times less than those stored at 5$^{\circ}C$. However, there were no significant difference between the ginsengs stored at -2$^{\circ}C$ and at 0$^{\circ}C$(1.9%). Spoilage rate of the ginsengs was 100% after 50 days of storage at 5$^{\circ}C$ and 25% after 100days at 0$^{\circ}C$respectively. but that of ginsengs stored at -2$^{\circ}C$ was 13%, which was half than that of ginsengs stored at 0$^{\circ}C$. Firmness and amount of monoscaccharides in ginsengs were decreased during storage at 5 or 0$^{\circ}C$ but ginsengs stored at -2$^{\circ}C$ showed better firmness and an increase in monosaccharides such as fructose and glucose. From above, when ginseng treated with freezing pont depressing agents were stored at -2$^{\circ}C$, the shelf life was extended to 2 or 3 times longer than those that were stored at 5 or 0$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Potential applications of irradiation technology inpostharvest handling of agricultural products have been documented over the past five decades. The biological effects of ionizing radiation on food were demonstrated to have the potential both of reducing the storage losses by controlling spoilage microoraganisms, insects, to have the potential both of reducing the storge losses by controlling spoiliage microorganisms, insects, sprouting and ripening, and of improving the hygienic quality of raw and processed products. Food irradiation is recognized as a physical and cold process using gamma-rays from radioisotope sources and electron-beam from the accelerator. As one of the technologies or techniques for preserving and improving the safety of food, irradiated technology has been approved in some 40 countries for more than 200 individeual items of foods and of these about 30 countries including Korea are commerically utilizing this technology. Although limited quantities of irradiated foods are available in the market now, the proper uses of this renewed technology will offer great possibilities not only for increasing the availability of postharvest agricultural products, thereby contributing to price stabilization in the off-season, but also for reducing reliance on chemicals used for sanitary and quarantine requirements. This paper deals with biological actions of ionizing radiation and its potential applications in the agri-food industry from the international point of view.

A bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacterium, which strongly inhibited the Lactobacillus plantarum recognized as an important acid spoilage microorganism in kimchi fermentation, was isolated from kimchi. From morphological, physiological, sugar fermentation, biochemical tests, and l6S rDNA sequencing results, the isolate was identified as an Enterococcus sp. and designated as Enterococcus sp. K25. The bacteriocin produced by Enterococcus sp. K25 inhibited several Gram-positive bacteria, including Lb. plantarum, whereas it did not inhibit Gram-negative bacteria and yeasts. Optimal temperature and pH for the bacteriocin production were $25^\circ{C}$ and 5.5, respectively. Enterococcus sp. K25 was applied to kimchi manufacturing alone and together with other preservatives (i.e., chitosan and fumaric acid). In addition, growth of lactic acid bacteria, pH, and titratable acidity (TA) were measured during aging at $5^\circ{C}$ and $10^\circ{C}$. Inoculation of Enterococcus sp. K25 together with fumaric acid showed the most synergistic effect on extension of kimchi shelf-life. Compared to control (no addition), the treatment prolonged the kimchi shelf-life up to 6 days, whereupon the eight-point TA value recognized as the edible limit was reached.

TTI 상용제품인 Fresh-check을 명태의 냉장유통 중 품질예측에 사용할 때 그 성능이 항상 최적화되어 있을 수 없다는 가정하에서, TTI를 냉장유통의 어느 시점에서 부착하는 것이 가장 바람직한지를 수학적으로 분석하였다. TTI 부착시점으로 크게 '어획 후 선상에서, '부산국제수산물도매시장에서', '마트에서'의 세 경우로 나누었다. 먼저, 등온 실험을 통하여 TTI의 색 변화와 명태의 Pseudomonas spp.에 관한 kinetic과 Arrhenius 온도의존성 모델 식을 완성하였다. 얻어진 모델 식을 사용하여 냉장유통에 해당하는 dynamic 온도조건에 대하여 수리적으로 TTI의 색 변화와 명태의 품질변화를 계산하였다. 그 결과, 마트에서 부착했을 때 TTI 색 변화가 종료 점에 도달한 시간이 명태의 부패시간과 가장 일치하였다. 따라서 상용 TTI 제품을 사용할 경우 부착시점의 선택이 중요함을 알 수 있었다.

계육을 이용한 가공식품개발의 필요성에 의하여 원료육의 전처리 과정중 부패에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 미생물의 증식을 억제하고자 NaOCl과 succinic acid를 병행사용하여 미생물의 증식억제 효과 및 저장기간의 연장등을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. NaOCl의 농도증가에 따라 미생물의 증식억제효과도도 증가하였다. 200ppm 처리시 50ppm의 경우보다 1/1000로 생존균체가 더 감소하였다. 2. 탕지 처리시 6$0^{\circ}C$에서 염소의 소실도 적었으며 규체억제 및 계육표피의 보전성에서도 양호한 결과를 얻었다. 3. NaOCl에 유기산 검가시 pH 3 부근에서 급격한 균체 억제작용을 보였다. Acetic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid 등 유기산 첨가시 succinic 효과가 pH 3.12, 0.51%의 농도에서 균체억제 효과가 가장 좋았다. 4. 200ppm NaOCl ＋0.5% succinic acid로 30분간 침지한 계육을 5$^{\circ}C$와 -18$^{\circ}C$에 명명 저장시저장기간의 연장은 무처리군보다 5$^{\circ}C$의 경우 2일간 더 연장되었다.

변패성 식품의 하나로서 양념돼지불고기의 미생물적 저장수명을 실시간적으로 제어하는 방법으로서 포장 내 $CO_2$ 농도의 측정을 이용하는 방법을 고안하고 동적온도조건에서 그 적용가능성을 확인하였다. 식품으로부터의 $CO_2$ 생산 속도 혹은 포장 내 $CO_2$ 농도변화가 증가하기 시작하는 시점이 미생물적 한계품질에 해당되었고, 이를 저장수명의 결정의 지표로 사용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 또 특정 $CO_2$ 농도에 도달되는 시점, 즉 $CO_2$ 농도변화의 유도기와도 일치하였다. 제안된 logic은 $CO_2$ 농도를 실시간으로 측정하고 무선으로 데이터를 전송할 수 있는 sensor 시스템에 의하여 가능성이 확인되었다.
