This study was carried out to establish a suitable method for liquid spawn production from Lentinula edodes. The optimum production of liquid spawn (OLS) was achieved using soybean meal medium (SMM) with 0.3% of 850 um oak powder and 10-day incubation period and 0.6 vvm aeration volume. OLS showed activities of laccase on ABTS agar plate and carboxymethyl cellulase (CM-cellulase) on CMC agar plate. In case of liquid spawn, fruiting-body development period was delayed approximately 1 day compared to that of sawdust spawn, however, the yield of 153 g per 1.2 kg polypropylene bag was similar to that of sawdust spawn.

Vacuum-packed and seasoned-dried products of filefish, Navodon modestus, caught in large quantities in the coasts of Japan and Korea, were prepared tentatively and stored at $35^{\circ}C$ for $3\sim4$ months to test their keeping quality. Headed, eviscerated, ana skinned filefish were purchased from Tokyo central wholesale market and filleted. The fillets were seasoned with the seasoning powder prepared from sugar, sorbitol, salt, glutamate, 5'-ribonucleotide, and either beef flavor (Flava-Beef, Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co. Ltd.), red pepper, or smoke flavor (Smok-EZ, Alpha Foods Co. Ltd.). After seasoning, the fillets were dried at $39\sim41^{\circ}C$ for several hours, vacuum-packed in the bag of plastic film, and cooked in water of $80^{\circ}C$ for 40 min. Two kinds of products different in moisture level were prepared : one containing moisture of $26\sim29\%$ and the other $40\sim46\%$. The moisture level, water activity, color value (L,a, and b values), texture, and viable counts of bacteria of these products were determined during storage at $35^{\circ}C$. From the results obtained, it became clear that the products could be preserved in good condition for $3\sim4$ months at $35^{\circ}C$, though they slightly decreased in the softness with decrease of moisture content and developed a pale brown during storage. Judging from organoleptic evaluation on the flavor, the products containing beef flavor as a seasoning was most desirable.

A vacuum-packed seasoned-dried product of sea mussel, Mytilus edulis, caught in the southern coasts of Korea, was prepared and stored at $35^{\circ}C$ for 70 days to test quality stability. Sea mussel, purchased from Jagalchi fish market in Busan, was steamed, shucked and eliminated byssus. The sea mussel meat was seasoned with the seasoning solution prepared with sugar, salt, sorbitol, glycerol, monosodium glutamate, 5'-ribonucleotide and smoke flavor (Smoke-EZ, Alpha Foods Co., Ltd.). After seasoning, the meat was dried at $52-58^{\circ}C$ for three hours, vacuum-packed in the laminated plastic film bag($14{\times}15cm$), and finally sterilized at $120^{\circ}C$ for 26 minutes in hot water circulating retort. The moisture, water activity, color value(L, a and b value), texture, TBA value and viable bacterial count of the products were determined during the period of storage at $35^{\circ}C$. From the results obtained, it became clear that the product could be preserved in a good quality for 70 days at $35^{\circ}C$, though a slight decrease in moisture content and development of a pale brown color was resulted. Judging from the sensory evaluation on flavor, the products containing smoke flavor were most desirable.

For the purpose of obtaining basic data which can be applied to processing of retort pouched shell-fishes, retort pouched seasoned baby clam was prepared. After sand and mud were removed, and then steamed baby clams were shucked. Baby clam meats were seasoned with the mixed seasoning powder containing $3\%$ of sugar, $2.5\%$ of salt, $12\%$ of sorbitol, $0.5\%$ of monosodium glutamate and $10\%$ of smoke flavor, and then dried at $35-40^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. After dried, the meats were vacuum packed in plastic film bag (polyester/nylon/unoriented polyproylene; $12{\mu}m/15{\mu}m/50{\mu}m,\;15{\times}17cm$), and sterilized for 12 minutes in a hot water circulating sterilzer at $120^{\circ}C$, The factors such as pH, VBN, moisture content water activity, color value (L, a, b), texture, TBA value and viable bacterial count of products were determined during storage at room temperture ($20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$). The results showed that the product could be preserved in a good condition for 120 days at $20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$. Judging from the scores of sensory evaluation on flavor, the product added smoke flavor as seasoning was the most desirable.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in some physicochemical properties, including pH, moisture and ash content, Ca, Na, Mg, K, crude saponin and codonoposide, of cultivated Codonopsis lanceolata, which were packed with woven polypropylene(WP) or low density polyethylene(LDPE, thickness 0.04 mm) bag and stored at $4^{\circ}C\;or\;20^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. pH of the juice of fresh Codonopsis lanceolata was 5.3 and decreased significantly during storage. Storage temperature exerted more influence upon the content of moisture and ash than package materials. The concentration of Ca, Mg, Na and K were 427.3mg, 203.4mg, 10.2mg, and 619mg per 100g dry matter respectively. The contents of Ca and Na were not changed significantly, but the contents of Mg and K were decreased during room temperature storage. It was revealed that the juices of stored sample had darkened and redness and yellowness were somewhat deeper than those of fresh sample. 1g of the cultivated Codonopsis lanceolata had 29.3mg of crude saponin and 3.78mg of codonoposide, and the changes of them during storage at various conditions were not significant.

The effects of packaging treatments with either low density polyethylene (LDPE) or polypropylene (PP) films on the quality of leaf lettuce were evaluated. It was also stored within a plastic bag (LDPE and PP films) with 4 pelf orated holes (6mm diameter). Changes in weight loss, color difference, anthocyanin, chlorophyll, water content, and general appearance (shape of lettuce) ware investigated Total weight of leaf lettuce packaged within non-pelf orated films decreased slowly over the storage periods at 5 and $20^{\circ}C$. The weight loss of leaf lettuce showed no significant difference between non-pelf orated and perforated films at $20^{\circ}C$. General appearance in leaf lettuce stored at $20^{\circ}C$ was not significantly affected by packaging treatments with LDPE and PP films. The shelf life of non-packaged leaf lettuce at $5^{\circ}C$ was 8 days, whereas packaging treatments with LDPE and PP films showed freshness in leaf lettuce for 30 days of storage. Total chlorophyll and water contents of leaf lettuce packaged within pelf orated and non-pelf orated films decreased gradually during storage. However, no remarkable changes in color difference, levels of chlorophyll and anthocyanin, and water contents were observed in leaf lettuce packaged within perforated and non-pelf orated films. In this experiment, leaf lettuce packaged within LDPE or PP films without any punching holes at $5^{\circ}C$ was the most desirable for extending the quality. These results suggest that non-pelf orated packaging treatment in combination with low storage temperature could be effective in prolonging the shelf life of leaf lettuce

The effects of hydrocooling and packaging type on the quality attributes of fresh-cut crown daisies (Chrysanthemum coronarium var. spatiosum) were investigated by examining weight loss, respiration, vitamin C content, total chlorophyll content, microbial load, and sensory properties during storage at 4 and 10$^{\circ}C$. Fresh crown daisies were trimmed and washed with cold water (1 and 5$^{\circ}C$) as well as tap water (10$^{\circ}C$) 3 times each for 30 sec. They were then packaged in PP (polypropylene) film bags or PETE (polyethylene terephthalate) trays, and stored for 9 days at 4 and 10$^{\circ}C$, respectively. In general, weight loss was reduced as a result of the washing and packaging. The respiration rate increased slowly during storage at 4$^{\circ}C$, and the vitamin C and total chlorophyll contents of the crown daisies packaged in PETE trays decreased gradually during storage. Finally, the treatments consisting of hydrocooling and then packaging in PETE trays resulted in approximately 1-2 log CFU/g reductions in microbial load.

Master packaging system consists of an inner individual package and secondary outer package. During the stages of chilled transport and distribution, the combination of primary individual package and secondary package was used to maintain a modified atmosphere for shiitake mushrooms. During the retail stage at higher temperature ($25^{\circ}C$), the primary individual package was exposed to display conditions after dismantling of the secondary packaging. The master packaging system was constructed to contain eight individual $30-{\mu}m$ thick polypropylene film bags of 500 g shiitake mushrooms inside a $40-{\mu}m$ low-density polyethylene bag. Carbon dioxide absorbent material [$Ca(OH)_2$] and/or moisture absorbent (superabsorbent polymer) were designed in their required amounts based on respiration characteristics and then applied to the outer secondary packaging in sachet form. Gas concentration of the packaging, temperature, and humidity were monitored throughout transport and storage. The quality of shiitake mushrooms was measured at the retail stage to determine the packaging effect. During the distribution stage of 108 h, $O_2$ and $CO_2$ concentrations in the master packaging system were maintained at 9~11% and 1~4% in the inner packaging, respectively, which are good for quality preservation. Compared to the control, the master packaging with $CO_2$ and/or moisture absorbents improved mushroom preservation and particularly reduced decay.

Potential of consumer unit packaging was investigated for quality maintenance during export simulation in king oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii). Mushrooms were harvested in late May, precooled to $4^{\circ}C$ within 6 hours, and then packaged for shipping in two ways: 2 kg bulk packaging in a polyethylene (PE) bag or three types of unit packaging methods such as 400 g in polypropylene film bag (PPB), 200 g on styrofoam tray + PE shrinkage film wrapping (STW), and 200 g in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers (PETC). For local distribution of bulk-packaged commodity, mushrooms were sorted again and packaged into 3 consumer units in the same way as for the initial shipping packages. Simulation of refrigerated container shipping was performed in a walk-in type pilot storage at $0.5^{\circ}C$ for 5 weeks, while local marketing simulation was carried out on the shelf at $7^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. During the shipment simulation, creation of modified atmosphere (MA) was substantial in 2 kg bulk packages with low $O_2$ below 2% and high $CO_2$ over 15% whereas, in PPB and PETC unit packages, relatively higher $O_2$ concentrations were observed. On the shelf at $7^{\circ}C$, $CO_2$ concentrations rapidly increased in PPB and PETC packages despite the short marketing period. Overall marketability evaluated by off-flavor, browning, and texture rating was maintained at excellent level when 2 kg bulk packaging in PE or unit packaging in PPB and PETC were used for shipment. In contrast, establishment of MA was very slight in STW packages during shipment and local distribution resulting in poor quality after export simulation. The results suggested that shipment using adequate consumer unit packaging is more practical and economically beneficial than using bulk packaging in the export program consisting of 5-week shipment and 7-day local distribution.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of packaging materials on quality characteristics of washed potatoes such as Hunter's a value, chlorophyll and potato glycoalkaloids (PGA) content during their storage for 15 days. Packaging methods were evaluated into five ways: no packaging (NP, positive control), paper bag (PB, negative control), onion net (ON), transparent oriented to polypropylene without hole (TP), opaque oriented polypropylene with 4 holes (OP). Hunter's a values of washed potatoes showed minus in NP and TP after 12 days storage, whereas all plus values were observed in those of PB, ON, and OP. Total chlorophyll content of washed potatoes was the highest in no packaging at 15 days after storage. The PGA content of washed potatoes showed low levels in flesh part (below $5mg/100g{\cdot}FW$) as well as in peel part ($4.5-9.3mg/100mg{\cdot}FW$) in all packagings up to 15 days after storage.
