We investigated physico-chemical properties of hard wheat flours for frozen yeast-raised breadmaking and freezing stability of frozen dough prepared by the straight no-time method. The general Composition of wheat flours were : moisture ; 14.0%, ash ; 0.48%. protein ; 13.15%, and dry gluten ; 13.43%. In farinograph data, development time and water absorption were 5.5 mimutes and 62 %, respectively. Amylograph maximum viscosity was 500 BU. Resistance to extention increased with the time and their extensibility decreased in the extensigraph data. From these results obtained from these physico-chemical properties, it was confirmed that the used wheat flours were most suitable for bread-baking. Considering effect of gassing power on cold storage period and fermentation time, it was effective that dough temperature should be adjusted to $20^{\circ}C$ in order to decrease freezing injury and maintain freezing stability.

The characteristics of unfrozen water content in frozen soils significantly impact the thermal, hydraulic, and mechanical behavior of the ground. A thorough analysis of the unfrozen water content characteristics of the target subsoil material is crucial for evaluating the stability of frozen ground. This study conducted indoor experiments to measure the freezing point and unfrozen water content of sandy soil while considering pore water salinity. Utilizing the experimental data, we introduced a novel empirical model to conveniently estimate the unfrozen water retention curve. Furthermore, the validity of the unfrozen water retention curve was assessed by comparing the experimental data with the results of a simulation model that utilized the proposed empirical model as input data.

Processing conditions of fish steaks and the effect of soybean protein on quality during frozen storage were investigated. Added to the fish meat were 1.0% of table salt, 0.5% of sodium bicarbonate, 0.2% of polyphosphate, 0.2% of monosodium glutamate, 2.0% of sugar, 0.2% of red pepper powder, 0.2% of white pepper powder, 0.2% of garlic powder and 0.2% of nutmeg. The mixture was minced with stone mortar and then stored at $-3^{\circ}\;to\;-5^{\circ}C$ for two days prior to frozen storage. The beneficial effects of adding soybean protein(5%) to the fish steaks were the control of color change, free drip, oxidative rancidity and in texture that exhibited the improvement of quality. The quality of frozen mackerel steaks, by sensory evaluation, was not inferior to that of hamburger on the market.

To improve the stability of frozen yeast raised dough for doughnuts, amounts of sugar, sodium steroyl lactylate(SSL) and $KBrO_{3}$ to be added to the premix were optimized, using the fractional factorial design with 3 variables and 3 levels, by a RSM computer program. The optimum sugar, SSL and$KBrO_{3}$ levels to be added to the premix were 2%, 0.3% and 25 ppm for a desired doughnut volume, and 2%, 0.4% and 10 ppm for a desired doughnut texture, and 2%, 0.4% and 20 ppm, respectively, for an overall optimum quality of doughnuts. The frozen stored yeast raised dough prepared without floor time resulted in better doughnut volume and texture than that with floor time. The yeast raised dough prepared with the formula for overall optimum quality, was formed to ‘plain ring’ type doughnuts and stored at $-18^{\circ}C$ for 5 weeks. Volume and texture of fried doughnuts were comparable to those of control for 2 weeks of storage, and then deteriorated noticeablly from 3 weeks of storage.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of freezing and storage temperature (-18℃, -50℃, and -60℃) on the physicochemical properties of pork neck and chicken leg meat in home-scale deep freezers. Pork neck was cut into a thickness of 3 cm (9×9×3 cm, 150 g), individually packed in air-containing packages, and stored at different temperature (-18℃, -50℃, and -60℃) for 6 months. Chicken leg meats were prepared (10 cm long, weighing 70 g) and packed in the same manner. Frozen samples were thawed at 2℃. Physicochemical properties such as thawing loss, cooking loss, water-holding capacity, color, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were evaluated. The samples frozen by deep freezing (-60℃) was favorable with respect to thawing loss, color, and VBN. Samples frozen at -60℃ had lower values of thawing loss and VBN than those frozen at -18℃ for all storage periods (p<0.05). Color parameters were more similar to those of fresh meat than to those of samples frozen at -18℃ for 6 months. The TBARS of all samples were below 0.3 mg malondialdehyde/kg, thereby indicating oxidative stability of lipids. Consequently, deep freezing at -60℃ may be acceptable for maintaining the quality of fresh pork neck and chicken leg meat for 6 months without deterioration.

Brine leakage is a common phenomenon during construction facilitated by artificial freezing technique, threatening the stability of frozen wall due to the continual thawing of already frozen domain. This paper takes the frequently encountered soft clay in Wujiang District as the study object, and remolded specimens were prepared by mixing calcium chloride solutions at five levels of concentration. Both the deformation and pore water pressure of frozen specimens during thawing were investigated by two-stage loading tests. Three sections were noted from the changes in the strain rate of specimens during thawing at the first-stage load, i.e., instantaneous, attenuated, and quasi-stable sections. During the second-stage loading, the deformation of post-thawed soils is closely correlated with the dissipation of pore water pressure. Two characteristic indexes were obtained including thaw-settlement coefficient and critical water content. The critical water content increases positively with salt content. The higher water content of soil leads to a larger thaw-settlement coefficient, especially at higher salt contents, based on which an empirical equation was proposed and verified. The normalized pore water pressure during thawing was found to dissipate slower at higher salt contents, with a longer duration to stabilize. Three physical indexes were experimentally determined such as freezing point, heat conductivity and water permeability. The freezing point decreases at higher salt contents, especially as more water is involved, like the changes in heat conductivity. The water permeability maintains within the same order at the considered range of salt contents, like the development of the coefficient of consolidation. The variation of the pore volume distribution also accounts for this.

In this study, samples of wheat flour and dough were prepared by adding of 1, 3, or 5% branched dextrin, which is produced from the amylopectin of waxy corn starch using a cyclization reaction with a branching enzyme. The samples were then evaluated qualitatively in terms of farinogram, viscogram, and extensogram characteristics. The fermentation power of dough expansion, extensogram characteristics, specific volume, baking loss, external/internal surface appearance, and sensory qualities were also examined after 4 weeks of storage at -20$^{\circ}C$ to determine the effect on freeze-thaw stability and quality improvement of branched dextrins in the soft roll bread formulation. Furthermore, the samples along with a control were compared regarding their quality characteristics, including changes in moisture content, water activity, color, and textural characteristics during a storage period of 4 days at 20$^{\circ}C$ to determine the effect on preventing retrogradation of the branched dextrin. As the branched dextrin content increased, area and extensibility increased, whereas water absorption, fermentation power of dough expansion, resistance/extensibility ratio, baking loss, and brownness of the crust decreased. However, the control group presented significantly higher peak viscosity, resistance, specific volume, taste, overall acceptability, moisture content, water activity, springiness, cohesiveness, and resilience values than those of the branched dextrin samples, whereas lightness, hardness, and chewiness showed the reverse effect. As the storage period increased, lightness, hardness, and chewiness increased, whereas cohesiveness decreased. In conclusion, the results indicate that adding 1~3% branched dextrin into a soft roll bread formulation from frozen dough had no positive effect on freeze-thaw stability or preventing retrogradation but may provide good nutritional properties.

An attempt was made to elucidate the stability of serum metabolites and enzyme activities in blood samples taken from rockfish(Sebastes schlegeli), Israeli carp(Cyprinus carpio) and rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss) under different storing conditions. The concentrations of total protein(TP), albumin(ALB), triglyceride(TG), cholesterol(CHOL) glucose(GLC), phosphorus(P) and sodium(Na), and the activities of alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST) in serum were investigated for 16 days at $15^{\circ}C$(room temp.) and $4^{\circ}C$ (refrigerative) condition, or frozen at $-20^{\circ}C$ for period of 30 days. Though there was a little difference between fish species, the concentrations of TP, ALB, GLC, P, Na in serum were stable at all storing temperatures, while those of TG, CHOL, ALT and AST were not stable, particularly even at the normal temperature. In general, serum components were more stable at refrigerative and frozen conditions than at room temp. storing. However, it was noticeable that the stability of CHOL in rockfish serum was found to be more unstable at $-20^{\circ}C$ than kept at $15^{\circ}C$ or$4^{\circ}C$.
