This study investigated the effects of pretreatment and storage conditions on the properties of stored chestnuts. Effects on chestnuts of refrigerated storage (RNT) and frozen storage (FNT) with no pretreatment, frozen storage after oxalic acid treatment without blanching (FON) and with blanching (FOB) were examined. Water binding capacity, swelling power, solubility, and viscosity of the starch produced from RNT, FNT, and FON were similar to those of the starch produced from control (CON). FOB showed significant differences in these properties from CON. Textural properties of starch gels prepared from stored chestnuts except FOB also were very similar to those of CON starch gels. The sensory characteristics of steamed FON and FNT were similar to those of steamed CON except in brown color and hardness. Steamed FNT tended to have higher brown color and lower hardness than steamed FON. Steamed RNT showed significant differences in all the sensory properties except in hardness and cooked chestnut flavor. Steamed FOB was significantly higher than steamed CON in water release and off-flavor. Among the storage conditions examined, frozen storage with oxalic acid treatment is recommended for the long-term storage of chestnuts.

The maintenance of continuity on food processing has created a need for the rapid reinstatement of many types of frozen fish to an ambient temperature and good condition. A number of thawing methods are in current use have also several disadvantages in thawing time. discoloration mass loss caused by drying, capital and running cost. These damages are, it is claimed, either eliminated or improves by the vacuum system. An experimental study on the thawing for hair tail and Yellow croaker by the vacuum system were carried out. The Yellow croaker thawing time with this vacuum system took out 170 minutes to reach from $-10.3^{\circ}C\;to\;-0.8^{\circ}C$ at 20mmHg abs. and hair tail thawing time 220 minutes to reach from $-12.2^{\circ}C\;to\;0^{\circ}C$ at 20mmHg abs.

The diet had an effect(P<0.05) on the nutritional contents of ostrich meat during 4 month of frozen storage. As frozen storage increased up to 4 months, pJ, water holding capacity(WHC) and myofibrillar protein solu-bility($\mu$g/$\mu$l) were reduced (P<0.05), how-ever, increased drip loss(DL, %) was found in ostrich muscle from forage fed ostriches, This study suggests that forage fed ostriches, This study suggests that frozedn storage(-2$0^{\circ}C$)up to 4 months in ostrich FCL muscle (outside strip)could be reduced protein functionality, due to increase in DL. decrease in WHC, and markedly decrease in myofibrillar protein solubility($\mu$g/$\mu$l).

In order to investigate the optimal factors for frozen dough production, the freezing and thawing condition such as temperature and time, storage period and the effect of ingredient addition were determined. A pre-fermentation of dough at 30℃ for 120 minutes was appeared to be the best for the production of frozen dough. The dough was frozen at -18℃ and then stored for 7 days. The quality of frozen dough was found to be optimal when thawed at 30℃ for 80 minutes. As ingredient of frozen dough, an addition of 3% of yeast and 4% of butter was good as well as the addition of skim milk and sugar in terms of fermentation capacity after thawing.

As a new practical method for preserving freshness of fish, partially frozen storage has been reported to be useful in terms of K-value, TBA value, sensory evaluation etc. In order to develop a storage procedure to be used in place of cooled or frozen storage for the preservation of precooked fish food, partial freezing for up to two to three weeks was examined using baked mackerel. The criteria for evaluation were made according to the changes in volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, viable bacterial number, pH, color difference and sensory evaluation in fish muscle. The changes in TBA value of baked muscle during storage at $-3^{\circ}C$ differed slightly from those obserbed during cooled ($5^{\circ}C$) and frozen storage ($-20^{\circ}C$). Partial frozen storage ($-3^{\circ}C$) was effective in prolong an induction period of lipid oxidation during early storage. VBN of baked muscle tends to increase slowly while pH value was decrease during storage and there was no observed significant differences among three different storage condition. Viable bacterial number of the baked mackerel muscle stored at $-3^{\circ}C$ showed significantly less than that stored at $5^{\circ}C$, and similar to that stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ (the levels of $10^2/g$). Judging from the results of sensory evaluation and experimental data, partial frozen storage at $-3^{\circ}C$ seems to be effective as means of short-period preserving baked mackerel.

In this study, discrimination of shred of frozen and dried Alaska pollack, shred of dried pollack and shred of cod using electronic nose based on mass spectrometer was carried out. Intensities of each fragment from shred of frozen and dried Alaska pollack by e-nose were completely different from those of dried pollack and cod. Each sample was analyzed, and discriminant function analysis was used for the discrimination of similar products. DFA plot indicated a significant separation of each shred of frozen and dried Alaska pollack, shred of dried pollack and shred of cod ($r^2$= 0.7787, F = 185.2). E-nose based on MS system could be used as an efficient method for discriminant of EMA foods.

The ultrastructure in the beef muscle of the electro-magnetic resonance and air blast freezing during the frozen storage, and the changes in the quality characteristics after thawing were evaluated. The size of ice crystal was small and evenly formed in the initial freezing period, and it showed that the size was increased as the storage period was elapsed (p<0.05). The beef stored by the electro-magnetic resonance freezing showed the size of ice crystal with a lower rate of increase than the air blast freezing during the frozen storage. The thawing loss of beef stored by the electro-magnetic resonance freezing was significantly lower than the air blast freezing during frozen storage (p<0.05), and it showed that the thawing loss of the round was higher than the loin. Water holding capacity decreased as the storage period became longer while the electro-magnetic resonance freezing was higher than the air blast on 8 month (p<0.05). As a result of sensory evaluation, the beef stored by the electro-magnetic resonance freezing did not show the difference until 4 months, and it showed higher acceptability in comparison with the beef stored by the air blast freezing. Thus, it is considered that the freezing method has an effect on the change in the ultrastructure and quality characteristics of the beef.

This study investigated the effect of thawing rate on the physicochemical properties of frozen ostrich meat. Five different thawing rates (0.33, 0.54, 0.61, 0.68, and 0.78 cm/h) were delivered by controlling the air velocity as heat convection at $15^{\circ}C$. The pH value decreased with increasing thawing rate (p<0.05). In color measurement, $L^*$-values of all treatments were lower and $b^*$-values higher than those of control, but $a^*$-values were not significantly different among the treatments except at the thawing rate of 0.33 cm/h. Increasing thawing rate tended to improve the water holding capacity (WHC) of the samples. Thawing loss decreased with increasing thawing rate and significantly higher cooking loss was observed at the thawing rate of 0.33 cm/h. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels of all treatments were significantly higher than that of control (p<0.05). Increasing thawing rate tended to decrease the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) value. These results indicated that a rapid thawing process at $15^{\circ}C$ improved the quality of frozen ostrich meat.

The packaging effect on physicochemical changes in irradiated sausage stored at -2$0^{\circ}C$ was studied. Emulsion-type cooked pork sausage was made with (156 ppm) or without NaNO$_2$ (0 ppm), and packaged in three different conditions such as aerobic, vacuum and $CO_2$ (100%). The samples irradiated at 0, 5 and 10 kGy absorbed dose, and the total number of microorganisms, lipid oxidation, color and texture were analyzed during frozen storage at-2$0^{\circ}C$. Irradiation of the sausage at 10 kGy completely controlled microbial growth during storage. An NaNO$_2$ addition to the sausage significantly reduced lipid oxidation, and the TBARS value of the sausage with aerobic packaging was higher than that with the vacuum and $CO_2$ packaging. The NaNO$_2$ addition increased Hunter color a-value dramatically, but no packaging effect was found (p > 0.05). Irradiation influenced shear values resulting in lower shear values in 10 kGy-irradiated sausages with aerobic packaging, and $CO_2$ packaged sausage showed comparatively lower shear value than other packaging methods. From the results, vacuum or $CO_2$ (100%) packaging were better than aerobic packaging for frozen stored pork sausage, especially far microbial quality and lipid oxidation.

The freezing patterns of commercial frozen foods were characterized by using proton nuclear magnetic resonance ($^1H$ NMR) relaxometry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The liquid-like components like unfrozen water were investigated as a function of temperature (10 to $-40^{\circ}C$) and then compared with the unfrozen water content measured by DSC. The formation of ice crystals and the reduction of water in the foods during freezing were readily observed as a loss of the NMR signal intensity. The proton NMR relaxation measurement showed that the decreasing pattern of the liquid-like components varied depending on the samples even though they exhibited the same onset temperature of ice formation at around $0^{\circ}C$. When compared with the unfrozen water content obtained by the DSC, the NMR and DSC results could be closely correlated at the temperature above $-20^{\circ}C$. However, the distinct divergence in the values between 2 methods was observed with further decreasing temperatures probably due to the solid glass formation which was not detected by DSC.
