  • The aim of this work was to make acorn bread containing natural antioxidants as healthy food. The amylographic characteristics, loaf volume, color, texture, and subjective preference of the acorn bread containing 5~25% of acorn flour were measured during storage at room temperature and in a freezer. The results were as follows: The loaf volume decreased with increasing the addition of acorn flour from 5% to 25%. The onset gelatinization temperature and the value at the peak point of the bread decreased according to the amount of acorn flour added. L-value decreased with the increase of acorn flour contents, but the a- and b- values increased. During the storage period at room temperature, the L, a, and b- value decreased, whereas in the freezer, the L-value decreased except for the bread containing 5~11% acorn flour. In sensory evaluation, color and taste achieved high scores at 18% addition, but low scores at 25% addition. The bitter aftertaste showed low scores according to the addition of acorn flour. The softness and chewiness decreased, but the overall acceptance increased according to the addition of acorn flour except for the bread added with 25% acorn flour. The textural measurements showed that the hardness, springiness, gumminess, and brittleness increased significantly during the storage periods. The cohesiveness, gumminess, and brittleness in room temperature storage decreased with the increase of acorn flour contents. In freezer storage, the addition of acorn flour resulted in the increase of hardness, springiness, gumminess, and brittleness during storage periods. On the other hands, the cohesiveness decreased with the addition of acorn flour. Moreover the addition of acorn flour increased significantly the hardness, gumminess, and brittleness during storage periods. As a result, the bread containing acorn flour showed reasonable textural properties during storage periods.

  • Global firms are seeking to implement their global logistics strategies in two ways: the use of centralized inventories and/or postponement of final assembly. These strategies stress the importance of regional logistics centers. In most cases, regional logistics centers are located in or near ports so that changing demands can be met with economy, reliability and flexibility, The port can profit not only from the activities of logistics center itself, but also the increasing flow of cargo through the logistics center. A number of ports respond to this trend by shifting their emphasis from traditional cargo-handling services to value-added services. This paper presents guidelines drawn from the best practices of ports to be successful logistics centers to provide many aspects of value-added logistics services. These include: Effective Planning and Development of Logistics Centers; Institutional Incentive Scheme; Development of Free Trade Zones; Financing Infrastructure related to Logistics Centers; Developing Logistics Service Providers and Logistics Professionals; Development of Information Technology; and Regulatory and Administrative Issues. These guidelines will help managers of ports and policy makers of governments in the East Asian region learn to recognize, analyze and adopt the best practices for use.
