The fermentation and quality characteristics of kimchi, made by adding different types of red pepper (semi-dried red pepper, fresh red pepper, dried red pepper) according to drying conditions, were examined for 15 days at $10^{\circ}C$ fermentation. The initial pH was approximately 5.65~5.72 in all groups, and the pH decreased with increasing fermentation time. The color value of a/b showed the highest in kimchi that made with semi-dried red pepper (SDRP-K). The color value of A remained at the initial level for 9 days, regardless of treatments. The color value had a tendency to decrease after 9 days. The lactic acid bacteria increased rapidly during 6 days of storage, but showed no difference among groups. The initial contents of malic acid and succinic acid were in 3.23~4.52 and 6.12~7.97 mg/mL and decreased during fermentation in all groups. The lactic acid and acetic acid were not contained in the beginning, but increased with increasing fermentation periods. The vitamin C content of SDRP-K was 5.20 mg/g, which was significantly higher compared with kimchi that made with dried red pepper (DRP-K), but which did not show any significant difference to kimchi that made with fresh red pepper (FRP-K). As a result of antioxidant activity in optimally ripened kimchi, both $DPPH^+$ and $ABTS^+$ scavenging activities were higher in SDRP-K than any other groups. As a result of the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was highest in SDRP-K.

In order to establish the standard method for the preparation of processed Aconiti Tuber, Aconiti Tubers were processed under various conditions and the amount and the composition of alkaloids were determined by HPLC. The ratio of sum of benzoylhypaconine and benzoylmesaconine over the sum of acinitine, mesaconitine, benzoylmesaconine and benzoylhypaconine was used as a detoxification index ((BM+BH)${\times}$100/MA+AC+BM+BH). The adequate value of index was obtained from Japanese 'ka-gong bu-ja' which has been used in Japan. The processing procedure was largely devided into two categories. First is heat treating at $120^{\circ}$ and 1. 2 lbs for 60 min. Second is treatment with various kinds of alkaline solutions followed by heat treatment at $120^{\circ}$ and 1. 2 lbs for 60 min. Among the source of processed Aconiti Tubers, dried bu-ja and yom bu-ja, dried bu-ja was more adequate than yom bu-ja because yom bu-ja has the lower value of index than dried bu-ja and lost active components through the desalting periods. Dried bu-ja whish was treated with alkaline solutions followed by heat treatment has the detoxification index, 50% and dried bu-ja which was treated only with hear has 71. 8%. Compared to the value of index of Japanese 'ka-gong bu-ja', 72%, the dried bu-ja treated with heat at $120^{\circ}$ and 1, 2 lbs for 60min was the most adequate. The $LD_{50}$ value of the processed bu-ja was higher than 15 g crude drugs/kg, p.o. in mice.

Effects of cooking and drying methods on the lipids content and neutral lipid component of shrimp, Metapenaeus joyneri, were investigated. Total lipid content of the fresh shrimp was 6.0%(dry basis), which was not changed significantly depending on the cooking and drying methods. Lipid of the fresh shrimp was composed of 36.8% of neutral lipids, 21.5% of glycolipids, and 41.7% of phospholipids. Freeze dried shrimp was substantially higher in neutral lipid contents but lower in glycolipid and phospholipid contents than hot air dried one. Main components of the neutral lipids were triglycerides, free sterols, free fatty acids and esterified sterols. Freeze dried shrimp contained higher triglycerides contents than hot air dried shrimp, whereas free fatty acids content in hot air dried shrimp was greater than that of freeze dried one due to the decomposition of triglycerides to free fatty acids during hot air drying. Major fatty acid composition of the total lipid were palmitoleic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, and that of neutral lipid were palmitic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in fresh shrimp.

Dried-red pepper, whole and powdered types, was subjected to a storage-study by investigation the effects of packaging methods (polycloth & polyethylene/polycloth, whole dried-red pepper; nylon/polyethylene-lam-inated film, red pepper powder), temperature (ambient, $5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$) and gamma irradiation doses (0-10 kGy). After 6 months storage in polyclith sack at ambient temperature, all whole dried-red pepper showed quality deterioration, such as weight change, insect infestation, discoloration and chemical changes, After 2 years storage in combined packaging with polyethylene/polycloth sack of 5-7.5 kGy irradiated whole dried-red pepper at ambient temperature, however, quality deterioration was not observed. Gamma-irradiated red pepper powder (7.5-10kGy) showed a good quality in hygienic, physicochemical and organoleptic evaluation after 2 years of storage at ambient temperature.

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the effect of irradiation dose and storage time on the free radical concentrations in gamma-irradiated dried seasoning powder. Seasoning powders of dried squid flavor, shrimp flavors, kimchi flavor, spicy beef soup flavor and soy sauce flavor were irradiated with doses of 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 kGy at room temperature using a Co-60 irradiator. Characteristic signals of free radicals were observed in all the irradiated samples of this experimental while these signals were not detected in non-irradiated samples. Since the free radical concentrations linearly increased with the applied doses (1~9 kGy), highly positive correlation coefficients ($R^2$ = 0.9285~0.9965) were obtained between irradiation doses and free radical concentrations during all the storage times. Free radical concentrations of the irradiated flavored seasoning powder did not change even at 16 weeks of storage at room temperature, while those of dried squid, shrimp and spicy beef soup flavors decreased until 2 weeks of storage after irradiation with 5 kGy or over, and these of soy cause flavors slowly decreased until 8 weeks of storage after irradiation with 3 kGy or over. Although the free radical concentrations decreased with storage times, the characteristic signals of the irradiated seasoning powders of dried squid, shrimp, spicy beef and soy sauce flavors were observed even after 16 weeks of storage at room temperature.

Secondary amines are known as one of the precursors of nitrosamines which are potent carcinogenic compounds for human being and animals. In this study, trimethylamine and dimethylamine contents of salted, hot-air dried and sun dried samples of two commercial fishes, mackerel pike and seerfish were analyzed and quantitatively compared at three different temperature conditions. The formation of both secondary amines was more rapid at$10^{\circ}C\;and\;15^{\circ}C\;than\;at\;2^{\circ}C$. Residual amounts of trimethylamine oxide of salted samples were relatively higher than those of the other samples. Trimethylamine contents of hot-air dried mackerel pike and sun dried seerfish were relatively higher than those in the other samples, while those of salted samples were comparatively lower than those of others. Dimethylamine contents of hot-air dried samples were higher than those of the other samples, whereas those of salted samples were comparatively lower than those of the other samples.

The study was performed to investigate the degrees of gelatinization at various processing steps during the preparation of Dangmyuns using sweet potato, potato, corn and tapioca starches, and also determined the rehydration of the freeze dried sweet potato Dangmyun. The degrees of gelatinization after extrusion cooking showed higher value than other processing steps. The degrees of gelatinization after extrusion cooking were 63.5% in sweet potato, 80.0% in potato, 82.3% in corn, and 86.5% in tapioca Dangmyuns. The degree of gelatinization in Dangmyuns after extrusion cooking step decreased as the processing steps, such as cold storage, freezing, thawing, and sun drying, progressed. L values of color in Dangmyuns decreased in the order of corn>tapioca>potato>sweet potato Dangmyuns. The cooking loss decreased in the order of tapioca>corn>potato>sweet potato Dangmyuns. The percentage of weight gain was the highest in sweet potato Dangmyun followed by corn, potato, and tapioca Dangmyuns. The water absorption rate constant was the highest in sweet potato Dangmyun followed by corn, potato, and tapioca Dangmyuns. In the rehydration of freeze dried Dangmyuns, freeze dried sweet potato Dangmyun showed better than the others. An increase from 60% to 70% of the added amount of water in the mixing step resulted in an increase of the degrees of gelatinization after extrusion cooking from $63.4{\sim}70.7%$ to $73.8{\sim}75.0%$. An increase of the added water in the mixing step and a decrease of diameter in the extrusion cooking step slightly improved the rehydration in the boiled water of freeze dried sweet potato Dangmyun.

Mycotoxins produced by molds isolated from discolored sun-dried red pepper fruits were determined and the toxicity to animals was also tested by feeding mold-grown unpolished rice to rats. Among the mold species tested, only Alternaria alternata was toxic to experimental animals, while other mold species belonging to the genera of Colletotrichum, Diaporthe, Diaporthopsis, Botryosphereia, Aspergillus and Fusarium were not. Rats fed Alternaria-grown rice lost weight and died within two weeks of feeding period. Succumbed rats during the process of feeding study showed extreme cases of enlargements of stomach, small intestine and liver. Among the 17 Alternaria isolates, 8 species produced considerable amount of tenuazonic acid along with small amounts of other toxins including alternariol and monomethyl ether derivative of alternariol in both red pepper homogenate and unpolished rice. It is therefore advised that red pepper fruits infested by molds during the sun-drying process be discarded to avoid unnoticeable health hazards.

A practical study on a drying and fermentation system equipped with a stirring machine operated mechanically, of pig manure was conducted to prove the efficiency of and practicability to an ordinary pig farm. The type of the drying bed was a round-shaped (r=3m) concrete structure and the stirring machine was adopted to stir and transfer dried pig manure to the fermentation tank. The dried pig manure was put into a fermentation tank ($V=18m^3$), which was aerated from pipe lines installed at the bottom. While water content of pig manure passing through a drying bed was remarkably reduced than before drying, the drying efficiency of this system decreased in winter. However, the temperature of pig manure piled up in the fermentation room in winter reached over $60^{\circ}C$ and excess water of pig manure was removed during the fermentation process. The reduction rate of water content of pig manure, to which dried pig manure was added as bulking material on the drying bed, was 52.1%, but when dried without bulking material it was only 19.7%. Although the content of $P_2O_5$ of dried pig manure was slightly higher than that of fresh pig manure, progressive changes in chemical composition between fresh and dried pig manure made no great difference. Among the contents of minerals of fresh and dried pig manure, CaO was the highest and the rest were in the decreasing order of $K_2O$, MgO, and $Na_2O$. Population density of E. coli and Streptococci of dried pig manure was reduced by 142 and 236 times that of fresh pig manure, respectively. The installation cost of this drying and fermentation system was 4,185,630 won (approximately 5,232 US $) and operating cost per year was 190,000 won (237.5US $) on the basis of self-labor condition.
