Cultivated tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in the fresh water were acclimated to the sea water to improve palatability of the fish meat. Physicochemical properties in the rigor mortis of those fish meats were investigated during storage at $0^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. The faster onset of rigor mortis was occurred in acclimated meat than fresh water cultivated meat. Both meats stored at $0^{\circ}C$ showed faster figro mortis than at $10^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. Significant difference was not observed between the breaking strength and the rigor index. The breaking strength reached maximum over 12hrs after death and then gradually declined, and the rigor index was slowly increased and reached maximum over 18hrs after postmortem. Low temperature and acclimation to the sea water affected the degradation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), accumulation of inosine monophosphate (IMP) or lactate. These results suggest that the palatability of tilapia muscle cultivated in the fresh water could be improved by acclimation to the sea water which induces the prerigor at the early state of postmortem and the physical changes of fish muscle.

The thermal expansion and mechanical properties of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) with mercaptan hardeners were studied by a comparative method with an amine-adduct type hardener. Thermal expansion and dynamic mechanical properties were measured by thermo mechanical analysis (TMA) and dynamic mechanical ananlysis (DMA), respectively. The $T_g$ and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of epoxy/amine-adduct type hardener system were $82.6^{\circ}C$ and 71.2 $ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively. As the number of -SH functional group of mercaptan hardener increased, the $T_g$ rapidly decreased and gradually increased up to ca. $80^{\circ}C$ and the CTE under the $T_g$ rapidly increased to ca. 200 $ppm/^{\circ}C$ from 80 $ppm/^{\circ}C$ and decreased to ca. 100 $ppm/^{\circ}C$. The crosslinking density of epoxy with amine-adduct type hardener was ca.1.5 $mol/cm^3$, while that of epoxy with mercaptan hardeners increased from 1.0 to 1.7 $mol/cm^3$, as the number of -SH functional group increased. The storage modulus can increase up to 2700MPa at $30^{\circ}C$.

LNG plant projects tend to be implemented in overseas owing to its characteristics, so their project management scheme is somewhat different from those of general projects. Value chain in a LNG plant project includes exploration/production of gases, physical liquefaction/chemical conversion processes, transportation and storage. Key factors in the chain include liquefaction process (including ultra-low temperature liquefaction) to convert natural gas into liquid materials or fuel, and Front End Engineering Design (FEED) package, as well as Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) technology comprising control, operation and construction. Success of a complex LNG plant project implemented in overseas depends on decision-making process in project management. Accordingly, to develop a decision-making model in of plant construction, the study extracted none factors in project management by EPC stage and assessed importance of each factor. The result showed that items in both project management and project risk management are important. Especially, the study developed a decision-making model in the construction stage of a LNG plant project based on the project management factors and importance assessment. The developed decision-making model would lay groundwork in building a decision-making system in construction stage of project management.

This experiment was conducted to determine germination ability, life cycle, regrowth ability of Portulaca oleracea L. The newly harvested seeds from P. oleracea flowered before July 15 were able to germinate, but percent germination decreased markedly as the flowering time was later than July 15, showing no germination of seed collected at Sept. 12 which were flowered at August 30, 76.5% of seeds can be germinated in the light as seed stored in room condition for 90 days, but in dark condition, it needed 2 years of seed storage for germination. Low temperature treatment at $2^{\circ}C$ for 5 days enhanced seed germination of P. oleracea in both light and dark conditions. The maximum vagetative growth was observed at 30 to 75 days after seeding. The late seeding time such as July 1 shortened the period of vegetative growth. However, regardless of the seeding times, the first flowering was observed at about 40 days after seeding. Leaf numbers, shoot lengths, fresh and dry weights were greatly affected by the seeding dates, showing that the earlier seedings produced significantly higher shoot length, fresh and dry weight, leaf numbers and branch numbers than those of the late seedings. When all branches were removed on 68 days after seeding, their regrowth ability was 50.3% and cuttaged branches showed 78.1% regrowth as compared to intact plant.

National plant quarantine inspector of exporting country should inspect agricultural products according to the quarantine requisites of counterpart country when the commodities are shipped. Export of pear fruits was held because quarantine pests including Conogethes punctiferalis were found at the point of entry in Canada. In order to examine the problems in detail, the inspected pear fruits were stored at a low temperature for 43 days, almost the same period necessary for fruit sorting, quarantine procedures, and transportation by ship. Dead larvae of fruit moths, C. punctiferalis and Grapholita molesta were found during cold storage. Quarantine pathogens were not found, but non-quarantine ones such as Penicillium sp. was infected through wounds by bruises and stabs resulted from sorting procedures. Because of the wounding problem during export procedures, pear fruits with thin exocarp, such as fruits of P. pyrifolia Nakai cv. Whangkeumbae, are required more careful handling during fruit sorting and conveyance.

Effects of medicinal herbs and bee propolis on pork quality were assessed using formulae A (control), B (boiling water extraction with propolis), and C (boiling water extraction without propolis). Seasoning sauce was made with medicinal herb, spices, total flavonoid, and soy sauce with/without 0.4% propolis (21.8 mg/g), mixed with pork, and stored at low temperature $(4{\pm}1^{\circ}C)$ for 20 days. In formula B peroxide value and thiobarbituric acid content increased with increasing storage period. Formula B showed highest Volatile Basic Nitrogen (VBN) and lowest microbial counts, followed by formulae C and A, receiving higher scores for taste and fragrance.

We developed a quantitative microbial risk assessment model for determning the effect of seasoning on Clostridium perfringens behavior in beef jerky under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. C. perfringens was not detected (<0.5 log CFU/g) in beef jerky samples (n=275), regardless of storage conditions or the presence of seasoning. Survival models of C. perfringens on beef jerky were developed as a function of temperature (10, 17, 25, and $35^{\circ}C$). Risk of C. perfringens due to the consumption of beef jerky was estimated with @RISK and FDA-iRISK. The probability of foodborne illness due to C. perfringens through consumption of seasoned, vacuum packed beef jerky was estimated to be $2.77{\times}10^{-16}$ per person per day. Overall, the risk of contamination of beef jerky with C. perfringens is very low.

In this study, the nutritional properties of sterilized and non-heat-pressed raw perilla oil (SRPO) were studied and its potential as a functional food was evaluated. The copper, cobalt, and calcium levels were high in sterilized and SRPO. The total polyphenol content and ABTS radical scavenging activity were the highest in SRPO, whereas nitrite scavenging activity was the highest in 45℃ cold pressed perilla oil (CPPO). The above results confirmed that sterilized and non-heat-pressed perilla oil had high mineral and total polyphenol contents, as well as ABTS radical scavenging activity and nitrite scavenging ability. The peroxide value of SRPO decreased as the storage period increased, and the acid value of low-temperature pressed perilla oil over 65℃ (LPPO) significantly increased. This work also provided an opportunity to develop a new method for manufacturing perilla oil, and it is hoped that these experiments will form a basis for the commercialization of perilla oil.

Onion is a perennial herb of the lily family that has a long history and has long been widely used throughout the world as it is one of the most important condiments in our diet, along with chili peppers and garlic. It has been used for cooking and processing food with its unique flavor and aroma. Because of the nature of onions, long-term storage can lead to spoilage. Research was done to increase profits through processing and expand various onion products. A low temperature extraction method was used to study the physiological activation effect and onion processing method of flavonoid component weak to heat.

Amid the rapidly changing logistics environment and demand changes in the post-corona-19 era, the importance of the cold chain logistics sector is being highlighted. The scope of cold chain is not limited to food, but is expanding to various fields such as pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and flowers. The demand on the storage and transportation of corona vaccines is rapidly increasing. The rapid increase in domestic low-temperature facility construction and renovation may lead to the saturation of the cold chain related industry in the future and slow growth. In preparation for this, it is necessary to accumulate infrastructure know-how using IT technologies, and to consider entering into the UN procurement market as a potential niche market, by taking advantage of Korea's recent global status. The demand for cold chain in the UN procurement market is increasing mainly in underdeveloped countries, and it is expected to continue to grow. In this paper, the capabilities of domestic cold chain related companies were analyzed, domestic and overseas cold chain logistics market trends and overseas market entry status were investigated. An in-depth survey was conducted to present strategies for domestic cold chain logistics related companies to enter the UN procurement market.
