The purpose of this study was to identify sector-wise issues that need to be improved for the overall development of the mushroom industry and to prioritize these tasks based on an analysis of the current state of this industry in Korea. To this end, we classified the domestic mushroom industry into four sectors: production, processing, marketing, and export and distribution, and identified major tasks for the improvement of each of these sectors. A total of eleven issues that could be improved were selected, including three each in the production, marketing, and export and distribution sectors, and two in the processing sector. An analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was utilized to identify the issues in each sector that would need to be handled on a priority basis. A questionnaire-based survey was also conducted to gain relevant insights and suggestions from 32 experts in this industry. The present study is significant because it highlights sector-wise priority areas that could be supported by policies and legal measures for the overall development of the mushroom industry.

Effects of onion peel (OP) components (quercetin and rutin) in press ham on TBARS, pH, redness (a*) and flavor (panel test) were investigated during cold storage. TBARS in OP samples of high concentration was significantly (P〈0.05) lower than control during cold storage. This result suggests that OP components have an antioxidant activity in press ham. Also, redness of OP samples was significantly (P〈0.05) higher than control after three weeks of cold storage. Cured ham redness could be improved through lower pH of OP samples compared to that of control. However, flavor score of OP samples was not significantly (P〉0.05) different with control during cold storage. It could be possible that OP components plays role as an antioxidant without any negative effects on plavor of press ham.

In order to investigate the rheological properties of myofibrillar protein (MP) mixed with tapioca starch (TS; 0, 1, and 2%) at various salt concentrations (0.1, 0.3, and 0.45 M), viscosity, gel strength, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) were measured. Viscosity of MP increased with increasing salt concentrations (p<0.05), but not with the addition of TS. The addition of TS improved gel strength and cooking yield at all salt concentrations (p<0.05). DSC results demonstrated that the starting peak of TS gelation was observed at $55^{\circ}C$, however, no differences in peak were observed with various salt and TS levels (p>0.05). SDS-PAGE profile also showed no differences in protein bands for pork myofibrillar protein with various salt and TS levels. Based on the model study, pork model sausages with various levels of tapioca (0, 1, and 2%) and TG (1%) were manufactured. The pork model sausages with 2% TS increased pH and water holding capacity (p<0.05), while those with TGase (1%) increased most textural properties, regardless of the addition of TS. Thus, the combination of 1% TG with 2% TS improved the gel strength and water holding capacity in the meat products.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of baked rice cake added with maltitol syrup. The hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness of baked rice cake significantly decreased (P<0.05) according to the level of added maltitol syrup. Hunter's color values of baked rice cake did not differ significantly according to the level of added maltitol syrup. Sensory evaluation indicated that appearance, moistness, chewiness, hardness, and overall acceptance of baked rice cake prepared with added maltitol syrup were improved compared to those of baked control rice cake. Hunter's color values and texture properties of baked rice cake added with 10% maltitol syrup were compared with those of baked control rice cake during storage at room temperature for 3 days. Hunter's color L values of baked rice cake decreased during storage, whereas a and b values increased. The rate of hardness increase in baked rice cake with maltitol syrup was lower than that in baked control rice cake during storage. The Avrami exponents (n) of baked control rice cake and baked rice cake added with 10% maltitol were 2.418 and 2.098, respectively. The time constants (1/k) of the former and latter were 43.860 and 60.976, respectively. Overall, addition of 10% maltitol syrup improved the texture, sensory properties, and retarding retrogradation of baked rice cake.

Effects of persimmon peel powder on physico-chemical properties in 60 pigs was investigated. The pigs were randomly assigned to one of the four dietary treatments: 1) Control (commercial feed) 2) T1 (commercial feed supplemented with 1% persimmon peel powder) 3) T2 (commercial feed supplemented with 3% persimmon peel powder) 4) T3 (commercial feed supplemented with 5% persimmon peel powder). In proximate composition, moisture of pork from treatment groups were decreased by addition level increased than that of control but crude fat was increased (p<0.05). Crude protein and crude ash was no significantly difference. The total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride of treatment groups was higher than that of control.. LDL-cholesterol of control was higher than that of treatment groups. The WHC (water holding capacity) of control was higher than treatment groups and shear value was higher in treatments group (p<0.05). pH was not significantly different between control and treatment groups. The hardness, juiciness and flavor of sensory evaluation were improved by treatments, especially in T3 (p<0.05). The meat color of treatment group showed whiter and redder than that of control owing to higher L/sup */, a/sup */ and b/sup */ value. In fatty acids, stearic acid contents of treatment groups were higher than that of control. The unsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid ratio of the control, T1 T2 and T3 were 1.78, 1.71. 1.69 and 1.66, respectively and control had higher than the treatment groups. The hardness, juiciness and flavor of sensory evaluation were improved by treatments, especially in T3 (p<0.05).

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the packaging method on the lipid and protein oxidation, and color in aged top round from Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) for 14 d at $4^{\circ}C$. Catalase activity was the highest (p<0.05) in vacuum packaging (VP) treatment during storage, and was higher (p<0.05) in 50% Ox-MAP and 50% Ox-MAP+vacuum skin packaging (VSP) treatments than in other treatments at d 14. Superoxide dismutase activity was higher (p<0.05) in VP, 50% Ox-MAP, and 50% Ox-MAP+VSP treatments than in other treatments at d 14. During storage, total antioxidant activity was the highest (p<0.05) in VP treatment and was higher (p<0.05) in 50% Ox-MAP+VSP treatment than in 80% Ox-MAP treatment. TBARS value was the lowest (p<0.05) in VP treatment during storage and was lower (p<0.05) in 50% Ox-MAP and Ox-MAP+VSP treatments than in 80% Ox-MAP and Ox-MAP treatments, respectively. Carbonyl content was the lowest (p<0.05) in VP treatment from 10 d. From 7 d, the $a^*$ value was the highest (p<0.05) in VP treatment and was higher (p<0.05) in 50% Ox-MAP and 50% Ox-MAP+VSP treatments than in other treatments. The $b^*$ value was the highest (p<0.05) in VP treatment from 3 d, and was higher (p<0.05) in 80% Ox-MAP+VSP, 50% Ox-MAP, and 50% Ox-MAP+ VSP treatments than in 80% Ox-MAP treatment at d 14. Therefore, VP improved the oxidation and red color stabilities in stored-aged top round compared with Ox-MAP. In addition, 50% Ox-MAP improved the lipid oxidation and red color stabilities compared with 80% Ox-MAP, and its inhibitory effect on lipid oxidation was enhanced by combination with VSP.

The study was conducted to develop a rapid method for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in foods via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique using hemolysin gene (hlyA) primers. Specificity and sensitivity of PCR, optimal conditions for PCR and application of hlyA gene primers for the detection of L. monocytogenes from milk and beef were investigeted. Each of the 20 L. monocytogenes strains gave a single 713 bp band, but other Listeria sup. and other bacteria did not show any bands. As few as 1 pg of L. monocytogenes DNA or 2.4$\times$10$^4$L. monocytogenes cells could be detected with hlyA gene primers. PCR product was most improved at 20~30 cycle in terms of removal of tailing and sensitivity. Also, the sensitivity was significantly improved by the further 10~15 cycle after 20 cycle PCR amplication. Milk (10 mL) and beef (10 g) samples were inoculated with L. monocytogenes at the concentrations ranging from 0 to 10$^{7}$ CFU/mL or g to determine the best sensitivity of PCR for the rapid detection of L. monocytogenes. PCR assay could detect 2 cells in milk with repeating PCR amplication and 2.6$\times$10$^2$cells in beef sample after 24 hr enrichment growth at 35$^{\circ}C$ in LEB.

The purpose of this study was to analyze women's consumption and preferences of the Korean traditional drinks. For this purpose, 205 women aged between teens and 60s living in Seoul were sampled randomly for a questionnaire survey conducted from August 21 to 27, 2003. The results of this study were summarized as follows: The percentile of age groups accounted for 15.6% of the subjects in their teens, 19.5% in 20s, 18.0% in 30s, 20.5% in 40s, 13.7% in 50s, and 12.7% in 60s, respectively. On the other hand, those who graduated from colleges accounted for most (49.8%) of the subjects, those employed by companies for most (23.9%) and those earning 2 million wons or more for most (40.5%). Subjects' preferences about the traditional drinks were as follows: The most popular traditional drink across all age groups was Sikhe (29.8%: fermented rice drink), followed by Sujonggwa (10.7%: dried persimmons punch) and green tea (8.8%). Most of those in their teens and 60s consumed the drinks to relieve from the thirst, while those between 20s and 50s to be healthy. The majority (31.7%) of the subjects were consuming the traditional drinks once or twice per week. Those in their teens and 40s consumed the drinks between 3 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, while those in their 20s, 30s and 50s as they want, and those in their 60s after exercise and as they pleased. 63.4% of the subjects across all age groups bought the drinks at supermarkets, and 60.5% of them were consuming 200ml each time. The reasons of subjects' preferences of the traditional drinks were as follows: The most important factor perceived by all age groups was taste (61.0%), followed by nutrition (15.6%). The most preferred point of taste was 'light' (51.7%). Those in their teens preferred the drinks without grains, while the other age groups preferred the drinks with some grains. Those in their teens preferred canned drinks, while the other age groups preferred the bottled drinks. Consumers' desire for improvement of traditional drinks were as follows: Those in their teens and 20s were satisfied with the current prices of the drinks, while the other age groups hoped for lower prices. On the other hand, those in their 50s answered that the drinks should not be sweet, while the other age groups hoped that the tastes of the drinks would be improved in diverse ways. 53.2% of the consumers hoped that the flavors of the traditional drinks would be diversified. 67.3% of them hoped that the traditional drinks would be improved to be functional drinks, while 54.6% of them hoped that the drinks would be processed in a more hygienic way.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of chitosan addition on shelf life of bread. Four different molecular weights (MW) of chitosan, 1 kDa, 5 kDa, 30 kDa, and 120 kDa were used. The growth of spoilage bacteria was inhibited depending on MW and concentration of chitosan, and most inhibited conditions were 0.1% of 30 kDa and 120 kDa of chitosans. But the growth of yeast and mold showed very weak inhibition. This showed that yeast would grow normaly in the fermentation process of bread. Shelf-life of bread was improved depending on concentration of chitosans at WM 30 kDa and 120 kDa. Antioxidative effect of chitosan was increased with the larger molecular weight and the higher concentration during storage. The preservation of bread by adding chitosan was improved.

This study investigated the effects of vitamin C supplementation on the nutritional iron status of 31 adolescent girls, aged 12-15 years, with low hemoglobin levels. They were randomly divided into four groups, and for two groups daily150mg or 900mg of L-ascorbic acid(AsA) was given in three equal doses at three meals during 9 weeks. To another group daily 60mg iron as ferrous sulfate was given in the same way as AsA. The control group was given sugar placebo. Body iron status was monitored through the determination of Hb, Hct, MCHC, and serum ferritin concentrations. Dietary AsA and iron intakes were measured from food consumption surveys performed by 3-day 24-hour recalls. The amount of absorbed iron was estimated from the model of Monsen et al. The average amounts of food iron for four groups were 12.3- 15.0mg and 11.1 - 18.9mg at initial and at final period of the supplementation trial, respectively. The tentatively estimated amount of absorbed iron was significantly increased in the 900mg AsA and iron supplementing groups, but not in the 150mg AsA and placebo groups. Both Hb and MCHC were improved to above normal levels in all groups except the placebo group. Hct was elevated only in the AsA 900mg group whose Hct was relatively lower than the other groups. Serum ferritin concentrations of the four groups, which were as low as 8.50 - 14.39ng/mL on average at the intial periods, augmented significantly to 20.18ng/mL and 26.63ng/mL in the 900mg AsA and iron groups, respectively. Serum ferritin was not elevated in either the AsA 300mg group or the placebo group. The above data indicated that the daily supplementaion of 150mg AsA to the meals containing 12-15mg iron per day promoted Hb levels of adolescent girls with low Hb, and the 900mg AsA supplementing improved not only Hb level but also body iron store. A supplementation of 60mg iron per day appeared to be slightly more effective in improving the iron status in comparison to the 900mg AsA supplement.
