Among the many packaging materials used in cushion packaging, there is a lack of optimum design for the tray cup pad used in fruit packaging for export and domestic distribution. It causes over-packaging due to excessive material input, and this could be solved by applying various parameters needed to optimize the design of the tray cup pad considering the packaging material and the quantity of fruits in the box. In the case of a tray cup for fruits, the economic efficiency of material and thickness should be considered. Therefore, it is possible to design a tray cup pad depending on the packaging material used by applying appropriate design parameters. The static and dynamic characteristics of the materials used for packaging of pears were analyzed by using the FEM (finite element Method) simulation technique to derive the optimal design parameters. And by applying the appropriate design parameters considering the quantity of fruit and distribution environment, it is possible to design an appropriate fruit tray cup pad. In this study, as a result of simulating the contact stresses between the fruit and the tray cup for the PP, PE, and PS materials used in the fruit tray cup, the material with the lowest contact stress was PP and the value was found to be 398 Pa. The contact displacement between fruit and tray cup using this material was about 0.0463 mm, which was the lowest value compared with other materials. Also the resonance frequency band of tray cup made of PP material was below 36.81 Hz, and the strain energy was below 12.20 J. The resonant frequency band of the pear is more than 80 Hz and it could be applied to all the tray cup materials as compared with the resonance band of 38.81 Hz or less which is the resonance band of all tray cup pads for packaging. Finally, PP is the most suitable material for the tray cup pad.

During handling unitized products, they are subjected to a variety environmental hazards. Shock and vibration hazards are generally considered the most damaging of the environmental hazards on a product, and it may encounter while passing through the distribution environment. A major cause of shock damage to products is drops during manual handling. The increasing use of unitization on pallets has been resulted in a reduction in the manual handling of products and with it a reduction in the shock hazards. This has caused and increasing interest in research focused on vibration caused damage. the use of pallets as a base for unitizing loads, aids in the mechanical handling, transportation and storage of products. Besides aiding in the handling, transportation and storage of products, a pallet also acts on and interface between the packaged goods and the distribution environment. The determination of the impact deformation of the cushioning materials such as tray cup (polymeric foam) and corrugated fiberboard pad must be carried out to design the proper packaging system providing adequate protection for the fruit, and to understand the complex interaction between the components of fruit when they relate to expected transportation vibration inputs. In this study, the theoretical analysis of impact deformation for cushioning materials by dynamic vibration. The impact deformations of SW and DW corrugated fiberboard pad in acceleration amplitudes of 0.25 G-rms and 0.5 G-rms that were usually generated in transport vehicles during distribution environments were very small compare with the thickness of corrugated fiberboard pad. The maximum of vibration acceleration level of tray cup by vibration impact was about 3.2 G-rms. The theoretical allowable acceleration (G-factor) of the pear was 0.7102 G-rms, and the maximum dynamic deformation estimated within G-factor was about 1 mm.

The characteristics of vibrational stress (shock and vibration) during transport and the possibility of damage to the packaged pears by functional PLA tray were investigated. And this study was conducted to analyze how environmental conditions by simulated transport environment affect quality factors such as weight loss (%) and soluble solid content (SSC, %), and firmness (bioyield strength, kPa) of packaged pears by PLA tray and Expanded PET foam pad (Group 1), EPE cushion cup pad and net (Group 2) for exporting. Pears with or without vibration stress were stored for 30 days at low temperatures (5 ± 0.8℃, 80 ± 5% relative humidity). There was the statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) between pears with and without vibration stress for weight loss, soluble solid content, and firmness (bioyield strength) after 30 days storage. Vibration stress accelerated pear quality deterioration during storage, resulting in increased weight loss, soluble solids content, and reduced hardness. The firmness (bioyield strength) and weight changes of pears with PLA trays were smaller than those of conventional packaging box systems. It was determined that the firmness of agricultural products was a quality factor closely related to the storage period and that PLA could be applied.

The purpose of this study was to research the effects of vocalization on upper extremity motion during occupational performance and to compare non-meaning and meaning vocalization. Experiments were performed on 30 subjects. They had no medical history of neurological problems with their upper extremities. Using a tea cup, a tea tray, and a tea spoon, they set a table during vocalization. We used meaning and non-meaning vocalization with the subjects. An example of meaning vocalization would be naming something, and an example of non-vocalization would be saying, "Ah." We used a 3-D analysis system called CMS-HS. We analyzed the motion in the angular velocity and acceleration of the elbow while recording performance time. The results of this study showed that vocalization enhanced the angular velocity and acceleration of the elbow, and also enhanced performance time. In short, vocalization improved upper extremity motion by making it faster and smoother. There were no significant differences between meaning and non-meaning vocalization.

Physical damage on fruits and vegetables caused by shock degrades the value of product in the fresh market. In order to design a product/package system to protect the product, the peak acceleration or G force to the product that causes shock damage needs to be determined. Shock cushion packaging is applied to protect goods of all kinds. It can be adapted in their shape to any product to be packed, so that its shock absorbing properties is determined by geometry of the product. The shape of a cushion can be adapted to the expected shock loads. To analyze the response properties of cushion materials for packaging of the pears for optimum packaging design during transportation, shock tests were carried out. Shock acceleration that is happened in pears were appeared very high by $25{\sim}30G$ in the input shock acceleration of 14.1618 G that was measured in transportation road. This means that the pears receive the shock acceleration more than maximum double itself and the damage by this can happen and the shock acceleration increase in case use PE tray cup and PE net in fruits, the use of corrugated fiberboard pad may become one method that it can reduce the damage by the shock in packaging of fruits.

Due to the rapid increase in cyber shopping mall of agricultural products, the parcel delivery service industry also increased, making it necessary to design an optimum packaging for agricultural products. And Due to the recent increase in strawberry consumption, there is also a need for a packaging system for parcel delivery service. In order to establish the criteria for optimum cushioning packaging design of strawberries, the bioyield strength of strawberries by storage time was measured through the ASABE test standards, and the peak acceleration in the resonance frequency and resonance frequency bands of strawberries was measured through the vibration test regulated in the ASTM test specifications. Tray cup pad and corrugated fiberboard box of delivery strawberries were designed using FEM theoretical analysis of contact stress and resonant frequency. In addition, an optimum packaging system was developed with a cushioning and vibration design considering the impact characteristics when distributing agricultural products. Through the performance evaluation and on-site evaluation of the optimum packaging system of strawberries for parcel delivery service, the random PSD test results of the delivery showed a 74% reduction in the acceleration level, and the actual distribution test of the delivery showed that the damage rate of strawberries was not more than 6.7%, indicating that it was possible to use the optimum packaging of strawberries for delivery.

Fruits we subjected to complex dynamic stresses in the transportation environment. During a long journey from the production area to markets, there is always some degree of vibration present. Vibration inputs are transmitted from the vehicle through the packaging to the fruit. Inside, these cause sustained bouncing of fruits against each other and container wall. These steady state vibration input may cause serious fruit injury, and this damage is particularly severe whenever the fruit inside the package is free to bounce, and is vibrated at its resonant frequency. The determination of the resonant frequencies of the fruit may help the packaging designer to determine the proper packaging system providing adequate protection for the fruit, and to understand the complex interaction between the components of fruit when they relate to expected transportation vibration inputs. The vibration characteristics of the pears in corrugated fiberboard container in transit were analyzed using FEM (finite element method) modeling, and the FEM modeling approach was first validated by comparing the results obtained from simulation and experiment for the pear in the frequency range 3 to 150 Hz and acceleration level of 0.25 G-rms and it was found that between simulated and measured frequencies of the pears have a relatively good agreement. It was observed that the fruit and vegetables in corrugated fiberboard container could be analyzed by finite element method. As the elastic modulus of the cushion materials of corrugated fiberboard pad and tray cup decreased, the first frequencies of upper and lower pears increased and the peak acceleration decreased.

안전한 급식을 위해서는 식중독사고와 연관성이 있는 미생물의 위해요소들이 실시간적으로 모니터링 되고 통제되어야 한다. 선진국에서는 실시간 위생 모니터링 도구로 ATP (adenosine triphosphate) Luminometer를 활용한 사례가 여러 건 보고되었다. ATP analyser는 ATP bioluminescence (생물발광성)의 원리를 이용하여 RLU (relatively light unit) 값으로 위생수준을 간접적으로 측정할 수 있게 해준다고 알려져 있다. 이에 국내 급식산업에서도 이를 활용할 수 있도록 조리도구들을 대상으로 일반세균수 (aerobic plate count; APC)와 RLU 간에 상관성이 존재하는지를 확인 할 필요성이 제기 되었다. 본 연구는 급식소의 조리도구 표면에 사전 처리없이 ATP (RLU)와 APC (CFU)를 측정하여 상관관계 존재 여부 파악 및 이들 관계의 최적인 모델을 찾아보고자 하였다. 이들에 대한 분석 결과를 조리도구별로 요약하면 다음과 같다. 도마, 칼, 국그릇 (스텐), 식판 (카보) 자료는 1차 변환의 로그변환이, 컵 자료는 2차 변환의 제곱근-역변환 (혹은 역-제곱근변환)이, 국그릇 (카보) 자료는 2차 변환의 제곱근-제곱근변환이 표준화 회귀계수 및 결정계수 $R^2$가 가장 좋게 나타났으나 식판 (스텐) 자료는 원자료, 1차 변환 및 2차 변환 모든 경우에서 정규성을 만족하지 못하여 이번 자료에서는 최적인 경우를 찾을 수가 없었다.

APC 지정시설과 APC 미지정시설의 선별대와 작업자, 공중낙하균을 대상으로 하여 미생물 오염도를 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 선별대의 경우 일반세균과 대장균군 모두 높은 수준으로 오염되어 있었고 S. aureus와 Salmonella도 검출되었다. 특히 모든 시료에서 S. aureus 의 오염이 매우 높아 제품으로의 직접적인 교차 오염이 우려되었다. 이와 같이 APC 지정시설과 APC 미지정시설간의 미생물 오염도 차이가 거의 없는 것은 기존의 APC 시설이 미생물학적 개념이 없이 단순히 저장의 용도로만 설치되었기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 하지만 GAP제도를 도입 운영하기 위하여 APC 시설은 단순한 농산물 저장의 기능뿐만 아니라 2차 오염이 발생할 수 없는 구조를 갖추어 위생적인 선별 및 유통이 이루어져야 하고, GAP 운영의 연장선에서 관리 운영해야 할 것 이다. 아울러 일정한 기간마다 시설에 대한 위해요소 분석을 하여 APC시설의 미생물학적 측면에서의 적절한 유지, 보관 여부를 모니터링 하고, 그 결과를 문서화 하여야 할 것이다.
