Effects of aqueous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) treatment on the microbial growth and the quality of iceberg lettuce during storage were examined. Lettuce samples were treated with 0, 5, 10, and 50 ppm of $ClO_2$ solution and stored at $4^{\circ}C$. Aqueous $ClO_2$ treatment significantly decreased the populations of total aerobic bacteria, yeasts and molds, and coliforms on the shredded lettuce. Fifty ppm $ClO_2$ treatment reduced the initial populations of total aerobic bacteria, yeasts and molds, and coliforms by 1.77, 1.34, 1.10 log CFU/g, respectively. Aqueous $ClO_2$ treatment caused negligible changes in the Hunter color L, a, and b values during storage. Sensory evaluations exhibited that there were no significant changes among treatments. These results indicate that the aqueous $ClO_2$ treatment can be useful in improving the microbial safety of the iceberg lettuce during storage and extending the shelf life.

The level of fat and salt can affect the product quality and storage stability of processed meats. Additionally, consumers' demands require dietary guidelines for developing low-fat/salt functional foods. Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase), which enhances textural properties by catalyzing protein-protein cross-linkages, was introduced to develop healthier lowfat/salt meat products. The potential possibilities of low-fat/salt processed meats were reviewed under optimal conditions for functional ingredients from several previous studies. The addition of non-meat protein (e.g. sodium caseinate and soy protein isolates), hydrocolloids (e. g. konjac flour, carrageenan, and alginates), and MTGase alone or in combination with other functional ingredients improved textural and sensory properties similar to those of regularly processed meats. When MTGase was combined with hydrocolloids (konjac flour or sodium alginate) or other functional ingredients, gelling properties of meat protein were improved even at a low salt level. Based on these reviews, functional ingredients combined with new processing technologies could be incorporated into processed meats to improve the functionality of various low-fat/salt meat products.

Effect of aqueous chlorine dioxide treatment on the microbial growth and quality changes of strawberries during storage was examined. Strawberries were treated with 5, 10, and 50 ppm of chlorine dioxide solution, and stored at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. Total aerobic bacteria in strawberries treated at 50 ppm of chlorine dioxide were increased from 1.40 to 2.10 log CFU/g after 7 days, while increasing in the control from 2.75 to 4.32 log CFU/g. Yeasts and molds in strawberries treated at 50 ppm of chlorine dioxide were increased from 1.10 to 1.97 log CFU/g after 7 days, while the control was increased from 2.55 to 4.50 log CFU/g. The pH and titratable acidity of strawberries were not significantly different among treatments. Sensory evaluation results showed that chlorine dioxide-treated strawberries had better sensory scores than the control. These results indicate that chlorine dioxide treatment could be useful in improving the microbial safety and qualities of strawberries during storage.

Soybean is an important source of protein and for a wide range of agricultural, food, and industrial applications. Soybean is being affected by Xanthomonas citri pv. glycines, a causal pathogen of bacterial pustule disease, result in a reduction in yield and quality. Diverse microbial communities of plants are involved in various plant stresses is known. Therefore, we designed to investigate the microbial community differentiation depending on the infection of X. citri pv. glycines. The microbial community's abundance, diversity, and similarity showed a difference between infected and non-infected soybean. Microbiota community analysis, excluding X. citri pv. glycines, revealed that Pseudomonas spp. would increase the population of the infected soybean. Results of DESeq analyses suggested that energy metabolism, secondary metabolite, and TCA cycle metabolism were actively diverse in the non-infected soybeans. Additionally, Streptomyces bacillaris S8, an endophyte microbiota member, was nominated as a key microbe in the healthy soybeans. Genome analysis of S. bacillaris S8 presented that salinomycin may be the critical antibacterial metabolite. Our findings on the composition of soybean microbiota communities and the key strain information will contribute to developing biological control strategies against X. citri pv. glycines.

Changes in microbial community and physicochemical traits of chicken summer sausage made from spent layer thigh added with different level (0%, 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% w/w) of ground chopi (Zanthoxylum piperitum) during manufacture were analyzed. The microbial community was profiled and analyzed by sequencing 16S rRNA gene using Illumina MiSeq. Samples were taken from raw sausage batter, after 15 h of fermentation, 8 h of cooking including cooling down, and 7 d of drying. The final pH of the sausage was reduced by the addition of ground chopi. However, no clear effect on water activity was observed. Ground chopi inhibited the development of red curing color after fermentation as it exhibited antimicrobial effect. However, the effect on species richness and microbial composition after cooking was unclear. Ground chopi delayed lipid oxidation during manufacture and the effect was dependent on the addition level. Fermentation reduced the species richness with a dominancy of lactic acid bacteria. The profile of microbiota in the raw batter was different from other stages, while the closest relationship was observed after cooking and drying. Proteobacteria was predominant, followed by Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes in raw samples. Firmicutes became dominating after fermentation and so forth, whereas other predominant phylum decreased. At genus level, unclassified Lactobacillales was the most abundant group found after fermentation and so forth. Therefore, the overall microbial composition aspects were mainly controlled during fermentation by the abundance of lactic acid bacteria, while bacterial counts and lipid oxidation were controlled by cooking and the addition of ground chopi.

Calliandra calothyrsus preserved in silage is an alternative method for improving the crude protein content of feeds for sustainable ruminant production. The aim of this research was to evaluate the quality of silage which contained different levels of C. calothyrsus by examining the fermentation characteristics and microbial diversity. Silage was made in a completely randomized design consisting of five treatments with three replications i.e.: R0, Pennisetum purpureum 100%; R1, P. purpureum 75%+C. calothyrsus 25%;, R2, P. purpureum 50%+C. calothyrsus 50%; R3, P. purpureum 25%+C. calothyrsus 75%; and R4, C. calothyrsus 100%. All silages were prepared using plastic jar silos (600 g) and incubated at room temperature for 30 days. Silages were analyzed for fermentation characteristics and microbial diversity. Increased levels of C. calothyrsus in silage had a significant effect (p<0.01) on the fermentation characteristics. The microbial diversity index decreased and activity was inhibited with increasing levels of C. calothyrsus. The microbial community indicated that there was a population of Lactobacillus plantarum, L. casei, L. brevis, Lactococcus lactis, Chryseobacterium sp., and uncultured bacteria. The result confirmed that silage with a combination of grass and C. calothyrsus had good fermentation characteristics and microbial communities were dominated by L. plantarum.

PCR 산물을 이용한 시퀀싱방법 중 Illumina 플랫폼으로 시퀀싱을 수행하면 100개 이상의 인위적인 시퀀스가 생겨나며, 그러한 인위적으로 형성되는 시퀀스에 의해 Operational taxonomic units를 기반으로 한 미생물생태 변화 및 네트워크 분석에 영향을 미친다. 이러한 문제점이 있음에도 불구하고 분변미생물생태를 분석하는데 Illumina에서 제공하고 있는 시퀀싱을 주된 방법으로 사용하고 있으며, 또한 그러한 시퀀스 기반의 분변미생물 생태분석 결과는 분변샘플상태(i.e., 분변 보관 기간, 분변양, 분변의 신선도)에 따라 상이하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 분변샘플의 동결건조가 시퀀스 데이터의 퀄리티를 향상시키는지 관해 조사하였으며, 이를 통해 분변샘플에 동결건조처리는 전체적인 미생물생태구조를 변화시키지는 않지만 인위적으로 형성되었을 가능성이 있는 시퀀스의 수를 감소시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서, 분변으로부터 DNA를 추출하기 이전에 동결건조처리하는 방법을 Illumina 기반의 분변미생물생태분석에 사용하는 것을 권장한다.

대관령 농업지역의 연 평균기온은 $6.4^{\circ}C$, 1월 평균 기온은 $-7.6^{\circ}C$, 7월 평균 온도는 $19.1^{\circ}C$이었으며 강수량은 1717.2 mm, 안개 현상일수는 133일, 서리 현상일수는 59일 이었고, 특히 6월 8월 사이에 100 mm 이상의 집중 강우가 많았으며, 잦은 안개와 일조시간의 부족으로 병해충의 발생 및 작물생육이 불량한 것으로 관찰되었다. 수질모니터링 결과 작물재배시기에 T-N, T-P 등 영양물질의 수질오염도가 높았으며, 7월~8월의 강우에 의한 토양유실로 영양물질의 오염도가 높게 관찰되었다. 배추재배지에서 T-N 농도는 평균 $9.4mg\;L^{-1}$ (7.4~11.3)로 감자재배지의 평균 $4.4mg\;L^{-1}$ (3.1~7.2)의 2배 정도 높았고, T-P의 경우도 배추재배지에서 평균 $0.084mg\;L^{-1}$ ($0.061{\sim}0.10^1$)로 감자재배지 평균 0.036 (0.019~0.056) mg $L^{-1}$의 농도보다 약 2배 정도 더 높았다. 부유물질 경우는 배추재배지가 평균 $18.3mg\;L^{-1}$ (3.0~53.0)로 감자재배지 평균 $1.9mg\;L^{-1}$ (0.5~3.0)로 무려 9배나 높았다. 이처럼, 배추재배지가 감자 재배지보다 수질 오염도가 높은것은 대관령 지역에서 배추는 감자보다 생육기간이 짧고 또한 피복율도 작기 때문에 토양유실이나 양분유실이 많았던 것으로 판단된다. 경작중에 고랭지 작물재배지 토양을 분석한 결과, 작물별로 토양화학성의 차이는 작았으며, pH는 5.6~6.8사이, EC는 $0.67{\sim}1.13dS\;m^{-1}$, 유기물은 $18.0{\sim}42.4g\;kg^{-1}$, 유효인산은 $316{\sim}658mg\;kg^{-1}$, 치환성 칼륨은 $0.41{\sim}0.88cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$, 치환성 칼슘은 $3.7{\sim}7.1cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$, 치환성 마그네슘은 $1.2{\sim}1.9cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$ 범위였다.
