Quality of fresh-cut tomato slices was compared during cold storage under various modified atmosphere packaging conditions. Chilling injury of slices in containers sealed with Film A was higher than with Film B; these films had oxygen transmission rates of 87.4 and 60.0 ml h-1 m-2 nun-1 at $5^{\circ}C$ and $99\%$ RH, respectively. While slices in containers with an initial atmospheric composition of air, $4\%$ CO2 + 1 or $20\%\;O_2, \;8\%\;CO_2+1$ or $20\%\;O_2$, or $12\%\; CO_2+\;20\%\;O_2$ showed fungal growth, slices in containers with $12\%\;CO_2 +\;1\%\;O_2$ did not. Low ethylene in containers enhanced chilling injury. Modified atmosphere packaging provided good quality tomato slices with a shelf-life of 2 weeks or more at $5^{\circ}C$. Experiments were conducted to compare changes in quality of slices of red tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. 'Sunbeam') fruit from plants grown using black polyethylene or hairy vetch mulches under various foliar disease management systems including: no fungicide applications (NF), a disease forecasting model (Tom-Cast), and weekly fungicide applications (WF), during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ under a modified atmosphere. Slices were analyzed for firmness, soluble solids content (SCC), titratable acidity (TA), pH, electrolyte leakage, fungi, yeasts, and chilling injury. With both NF and Tom-Cast fungicide treatments, slices from tomato fruit grown with hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) mulch were firmer than those from tomato fruit grown with black polyethylene mulch after 12 days storage. Ethylene Production of slices from fruit grown using hairy vetch mulch under Tom-Cast was about 1.5- and 5-fold higher than that of slices from WF and NF fungicide treatments after 12 days, respectively. The percentage of water-soaked areas (chilling injury) for slices from tomato fruit grown.

0%, 3%, 5%, and 7% chrysanthemum powder was added to plain bread to investigate its effect on the quality and preservation of bread. The properties of dough, physical changes, and sensory evaluation of plain bread with chrysanthemum powder added were analyzed during storage at room temperature. Volumes of dough and bread were decreased by addition of chrysanthemum powder. Also, the pH and Hunter L (lightness) in bread with chrysanthemum powder were lower than those of the control bread, while its redness, yellowness, and hardness were higher. In sensory evaluation, when more than 5% chrysanthemum was added to bread, aftertaste and overall acceptability were rapidly decreased. In contrast, the addition of chrysanthemum minimized the drop of flavor caused by storage time. In conclusion, chrysanthemum powder added to plain bread improved flavor, which declines with storage time.

Prunus mume extract showed antimicrobial efface remarkably against the wide spectrum of putrefactive and food spoilage microorganisms above 250 ppm of concentration. Their thermal and pH stabilities were effective under the range of temperature $(40^{\circ}C{\sim}120^{\circ}C)$ and $pH(3{\sim}11)$. Prunus mume extract seemed to be a natural antimicrobial ideally with the view of their effectiveness and thermal & pH stabilities. In addition, their action modes suggested that their hydrophillic components would perturb the fucntions of microbial cell membranes synergistically.

Objective : We tried to seek for conflicts of views among the contents in Sasang Constitutional Medicine and Traditional Medicine based on Huangdi's Internal Classic, and to study about the Range of Lee Je-Ma's Works, therefore finding out the limit of Sasang Constitutional Medicine in view of learning contents and practice of theory. Method : Through the texts of Longevity and Life Preservation in Eastern Medicine, such subjects will be investigated as Lee Je-Ma(李濟馬)'s comments on Huangdi's Internal Classic and views on the herbal medicine, the relations among five viscera(五臟), taeguk(太極), four-constitution(四象), etc. Result : Lee Je-Ma's Sasang Constitutional Medicine does not goes well in harmony with the traditional physiology which is based on the functional five zang system developed in Huangdi's Internal Classic, and is hard to understand because of its four division method rooted in confucius academy. Conclusion : Lee Je-Ma's view of medicine is one of the practical and valuable parts of Korean Medicine, however, its extreme four-division structure theory could be difficult to be accepted as its whole form. This is because he studied himself as a confucian, so that his work might rather be confucian than medical. When he fully devoted himself to Sasang Constitutional Medicine, he already took his age much.

Vitamin E has been applied as a dietary supplement or post mortem to meat cuts to preserve meat quality and extend shelf life. This study was conducted to determine the effects of supplementation of the diet of Hanwoo steers with Economas $E^{(R)}$, a less expensive alternative to vitamin E, on meat quality preservation. To accomplish this, 36 Hanwoo steers were randomly allotted into three treatment groups ; no additive (control), Economas $E^{(R)}$(T1) and vitamin E (T2). Vitamin E and Economas $E^{(R)}$ were included in the diets at 500 mg/head and 200 mg/head, respectively, for 5 months. Evaluation of carcass performance parameters immediately after slaughter revealed no treatment effects (P>0.05). Samples collected from the loin area and stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for up to 9 days showed that T1 and T2 preserved pigment and lipid stability as indicated by significantly (P<0.05) higher CIE $L^*$ and lower CIE $a^*$ and CIE $b^*$ values and a less rapid increase in thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) relative to the control. However, treatments had no effect (P>0.05) on cholesterol and fatty acid content in meat. Based on these findings, Economas $E^{(R)}$ provided at 200 mg/head is as effective as vitamin E applied at 500 mg/head at preserving Hanwoo meat quality over a 9 day storage period at $4^{\circ}C$.

This study is aimed at the necessity application in 'Prototype' general concept on discovering cultural identity landscape of our national characteristics landscape research. Accordingly, It is considered landscape, fundamental concept, the prototypal landscape concept from previously researches that have been used. At the same time, the concept of prototypal landscape has been established by commenting a point of view which is defining previous researches that controverted prototypal landscape, then establish concept of prototypal landscape and derive attribute by comparing and considering similar terminology of prototypal landscape. Previously, research prototypal landscape in depth by applying defined concept of prototypal landscape and considering inherence ideological and environmental background prototypal figure and structure. Formation pattern of the prototypal landscape is classified in both philosophical formative primary factor from philosophy, religion and environmental formative factor of human that accumulated cultural life from a region and life. Examples of forming the prototypal landscape by philosophical formative factor are classified as 'Feng-Shui(the theory of divination based on topography)', 'Yin-Yang theory', 'Confucian idea theory' 'Philosophical Taoism', 'Buddhism theory' and 'Nature theory' then environmental formative factor are interpreted by 'Taekliji(determining of advantageous land)', 'Imwon(forest) economical geography', 'land use', 'topography' and 'terrain' as examples. This study is anticipating a new point of view and an establishment of reliable preservation to our characteristic of the prototypal landscape by considering concept of prototypal landscape and formative factor as studying limits of prototypal landscape and researching concentrated origination of the prototype.

The distribution of the Mankyua chejuense was restricted to the northeast region of Jeju Island. It grows in the isolated pit crater-like swamp areas of various extent and shape, where the height is lower compared to the adjacent areas, and the adjacent regions contained a evergreen broad-leaved forests, a shrubbery, and a grassland vegetation. It contained 147 taxa of 61 families, 112 genera and 147 species in the habitats. The life form of the flora showed that the habitat of M. chejuense is different from the surrounding others, in particular, the ratio of the Therophytes and the Hydrophytes appeared highly. Preservation of habitat conditions is very important for stable maintenance the flora, and the surrounding area including habitats has to be designated a protection area for habitat preservation.

'Ooishiwase' plum (Prunus salicina L.) fruits were harvested at three pre-climacteric stages of ripeness (stages 1, 2, and 3) and treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP, $1\;{\mu}L/L$) for 24 hours at $10^{\circ}C$ before storage to evaluate the effectiveness of 1-MCP in extending shelf-life at $10^{\circ}C$. Ethylene production and respiration rates were significantly lower after 1-MCP treatment compared to those of control fruit, throughout the entire storage period. Also 1-MCP delayed plum softening and color changes. However the chemical 1-MCP had no effect on fruit soluble solid content changes, the preservative 1-MCP is an effective tool for quality improvement in plums, and extension of shelf life of the fruit and plums can safely be harvested at stage 3 of ripening, at which time the most desirable organoleptic attributes have been developed.

The antibiotic and antioxidant effect of botanical antimicrobial agent-citrus product(BAAC) prepared from citrus fruits were investigated by using fishmeats made from pollack and ascidian fillet. We inoculated Salmonella typhi into fishmeats that were aferwards treated with BAAC varying the concentration level (50-500ppm) including the control not-treated with BAAC. While specimens were stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for designated period, we measured changes of total number of bacteria, peroxide level and textural properties. In addition, we performed organoleptic examination, focusing on appearance, texture and odor for fishmeats treated with BAAC and stored for designated period. For pollack and ascidian fishmeats, the initial total number of bacteria were 3.7${\times}$l0$^4$CFU/g and 7.5${\times}$l0$^4$CFU/g, respectively. After they were treated with 250 ppm of BAAC solution and stored for 5 days at 5$^{\circ}C$, the figures reduced to 2.5${\times}$l0CFU/g and 8.4${\times}$10CFU/g. No bacteria were found in fishmeats treated with above 500 ppm of BAAC, which remarkably proved antibiotic effect of BAAC solution. Furthermore, all the BAAC-treated specimens exhibited notable antioxidant effect. Fishmeats which were previously treated with 500 ppm of BAAC solution and stored for 30 days at 5$^{\circ}C$, showed the lower peroxide level of 16.5 meq/kg than 68.9 meq/kg in the control of pollack and 21.2 meq/kg than 80.7 meq/kg in the control of ascidian. In the results of texture and organoleptic evaluation we could also observe good effects of BAAC on maintaining the freshness of fisher products.
