The food cold chain refers to a technology and distribution supply chain applied to maintain a constant temperature suitable for the product from production (harvest) to delivery to consumers. In particular, in Korea, the insulation material used in the food cold chain is mostly EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), which is used as a transport container for various food cold chains. However, according to the government's eco-friendly policy, companies charge environmental contributions to the use of EPS, but due to its low price and convenience of handling, it is still used as a container for delivering food. In this study, in order to measure the domestic delivery environment of general refrigerated foods, changes in impact, temperature, and humidity during transport of the EPS packaging system containing foods and ice pack refrigerants were measured. As a result, there were 2?3 sections in which a high impact force of 40 G or more was generated during transport. This can cause damage to the product and EPS container. The difference in temperature and humidity changes by parcel transport routes is more than 30%, so it is necessary to present accurate standards for the domestic cold chain distribution environment. As a result of microbial experiments. the transportation period had a dominant effect on the increase in total viable count and E. coli count.

This study was performed to apply a protein film containing a natural antimicrobial compound to meat packaging and determine quality change of meat during storage. Proteins obtained from the by-products of food processing have been utilized as biodegradable film sources. Porcine meat and bone meal (MBM) is obtained during meat processing, and proteins from the MBM can be extracted and used as a film base material. Previously, an antimicrobial MBM film containing coriander oil (CO) was prepared and its physical properties and antimicrobial activity were characterized. In this study, the antimicrobial MBM-CO film was applied to beef patties packaging, and the microbial population and the degree of lipid oxidation were determined during storage at 4℃ for 15 d. The population of inoculated E. coli O157:H7 in the samples wrapped with the MBM-CO film was 6.78 log colony forming unit (CFU)/g after 15 d of storage, whereas the control had 8.05 Log CFU/g, thus reducing the microbial population by 1.29 Log CFU/g. In addition, retardation of lipid oxidation in the patties was observed during storage for the samples packaged by the MBM-CO film, compared with the control samples. These results suggest that the MBM-CO film can be useful for enhancing the quality of beef patties during storage.

The shelf life of oysters Crassostrea gigas, in two different types of packaging containers, polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), was determined by evaluating the pH, glycogen and soluble protein content, turbidity, and viable cell count. After 7 days of storage, the pH of the packing water in the PE container decreased to 5.88, while the pH in the PET container decreased to 6.03. In the PE container, the glycogen content of the oysters decreased by 0.85 g/100 g and the soluble protein content and turbidity of the packing seawater increased by 1,927.21 mg/100 g and 3.24 McF, respectively. In the PET container, the glycogen content of the oysters decreased by 0.96 g/100 g and the soluble protein content and turbidity of the packing seawater increased by 1,674.75 mg/100 g and 0.98 McF, respectively. The reaction rate constants (K) were as follows: glycogen content, -0.18 (PE) and -0.10 (PET); soluble protein content, 0.29 (PE) and 0.26 (PET); and turbidity, 0.41 (PE) and 0.06 (PET). These results suggested that PET can be used as a new packaging container material for raw oysters because the quality is maintained and it offers more convenient handling during distribution.

구이용 불판인 주방용 기구에 사용되는 황동제에서 Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Sn등 유해 중금속의 용출과 메카니즘에 대하여 연구하였다. 황동을 대표금속으로 선정하여 용출 온도 (30, 60, 80, $95^{\circ}C$), pH (2.5, 4.3, 6.0, 7.0) 및 시간 (30, 90, 180, 360분)에 따른 금속 용출량 조사에서 온도 및 pH 변화에 따른 시험결과, $95^{\circ}C$, pH 2.5인 조건에서 용출이 가장 많았던 반면, 용출 시간별 시험에서는 180분 이후까지 Pb가 용출된 후 평형 상태를 유지하였다. 납이 용출되는 가시적 현상은 SEM을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 황동의 경우, 재질중의 Pb 함량과 용출량과의 관계를 규명하기 위해 Pb 함량별 10종 (0, 0.02, 0.09, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.9, 1.7, 5.4, 9.2%(w/w))의 시편를 제작하여 4% 초산, $95^{\circ}C$, 30분에서 시험한 결과, 용출규격인 중금속이 1.0 ppm (납으로서) 이하가 되기 위해서는 재질중 허용 Pb 함량은 0.2% 이하가 되어야 했다.

Processing steps such as washing and cutting, involved in preparing fresh-cut produce causes tissue damage, leading to rapid quality deterioration. Major defects of fresh-cut produce are discoloration, softening, off-odor development, and microbial growth. Packaging of fresh-cut produce has been changed to reduce these quality problems. Flexible packaging film is widely used to pack fresh-cut produce. Vacuum packaging was the popular packaging method in the beginning of fresh-cut industry in Korea. Vacuum packaging creates high $CO_2$ and low $O_2$ levels to control browning of fresh-cut produce. However, these conditions induce some visual defects and off-odor development. Discoloration problem was also found when fresh-cut produce was packaged with conventional packaging film or plastic tray. Modified atmosphere (MA) packaging is effective for prolonging shelf-life of fresh-cut produce by decreasing $O_2$ and increasing $CO_2$ concentration in the package. Retail MA packaging using different oxygen transmission rate (OTR) film and micro-perforated film has started to be applied to fresh-cut produce in Korea. Proper MA package design that provides optimum range of $O_2$ and $CO_2$ partial pressures is one of the major challenges in the industry. An initial package flushing with $N_2$ or an low $O_2$/high $CO_2$ atmosphere is also used to more rapidly establish steady-state MA condition. Film OTR and $O_2$ flushing affects the fermentative volatile production, off-odor development, electrolyte leakage, discoloration, $CO_2$ injury, microbial population of fresh-cut produce. There is also a demand for convenient packaging to attract consumers. Rigid fresh-cut produce container for retail market has increased since the packaging provides excellent protection from physical damage during transport. Rigid tray used as actual serving vessel for the consumer is increasing in Korea. The tray with flexible lid to wrap or seal fresh-cut produce is more and more gaining popularity. Further practical technology to control quality change and microbial growth for each fresh-cut product has been studied since various fresh-cut items were required. The fresh-cut industry also focuses on searching for more convenient and environmentally friendly packaging.

주로 커피포장에 사용되던 포장용 One-way 가스배출밸브(아로마 밸브)가 최근 발효건강기능식품이나 전자렌지 조리용 즉석식품 포장 등 다양한 영역으로 적용이 확대되고 있다. 포장 식품의 효과적인 신선도 유지와 보존성 향상을 위해서는 대상 식품에 따른 최적의 가스배출 압력을 유지하는 것이 중요하며, 이를 위해 다양한 개방압력(Open Pressure)을 가진 밸브를 개발할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 개발된 링타입 고무막을 이용한 식품 포장용 가스배출 밸브(Degassing Valve)에 대하여 오일의 표면장력, 고무막의 재질특성 및 구조 역학적 특성을 분석하여 개방압력 예측이 가능하도록 수학적 분석 모델을 개발하였다. 직관적으로 보면 오일의 점도가 밸브의 개방압력에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되지만, 이론상으로 점도는 유체 내부의 요인에 의한 특성이고, 표면장력은 서로 다른 상태의 계면에서 발생되는 특성이므로 점도와 표면장력은 서로 무관하다. 이에 대해 본 연구의 실험을 통해 오일의 점도가 표면장력과는 무관하고 결과적으로 밸브의 개방압력과도 무관함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 수학적 모델에 의한 이론값이 재료의 실험값과 유사한 경향의 결과를 확인함으로써 제안한 수학적 모델의 유효성을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, 이 모델을 통해 포장용 가스 배출 밸브의 압력 설계 및 품질 신뢰성 확보를 위한 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This article delves into the current status of various packaging technologies, which are currently being applied or are under development for the shelf-life extension and quality improvement of fresh and processed meat products. Traditional packaging methods include vacuum packaging, modified atmosphere packaging, and air-permeable packaging. Recently, innovative packaging methods have been introduced that utilize technologies such as barrier-films, active packaging, nanotechnology, microperforated films, far-infrared radiations, and plasma treatment. All of these packaging methods have their own merits and drawbacks in terms of shelf-life and quality maintenance. A right choice of packaging system for fresh and processed meat products must be made in accordance with the conditions of the raw material, storage, and distribution in the market and household, and while considering the environmental sustainability and consumer's expectations.

포장방법에 따른 절임배추의 저장성을 알아보기 위하여 25% 소금물에 4시간 절인 배추를 저밀도 폴리에틸렌(LDPE), 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE) 및 PVC 사각용기(PVC)로 포장하여 무포장구(Non-P)와 함께 $4^{\circ}C$(상대습도 95%)에서 3주간 저장하면서 품질변화를 측정하였다. 저장 3주 동안 절임배추의 무게는 탈수로 인해 각각 $69{\sim}77%$로 감소하였고, 염도는 초기 2.6%에서 2.0%로 낮아졌다. pH는 초기 6.4에서 저장 1주째까지는 모두 낮아졌으나, 그후 무포장구에서는 오히려 높아져 저장 3주째에 6.6이 되었고, PVC 포장구에서는 3주째까지 6.2를 유지하였으며, LDPE에서는 젖산발효가 계속 진행되어 3주째에 5.5까지 낮아졌다. 환원당은 초기 2.4%에서 저장 1주째까지는 탈수에 의해 상대적으로 농도가 높아졌으나 그후 발효에 의해 당이 소모되어 3주째에는 1.8% 수준이었다. 절단강도는 삼투현상이 계속된 LDPE에서는 3주째에 크게 높아졌으나 무포장구에서는 부패에 의해 낮아졌다. 실험결과 LDPE 포장방법이 절임배추의 포장방법으로 가장 적합하였다.
