This study was aimed at comparing the pH, color, thiobarbituric acid (TBA), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), textural properties, and sensory evaluations of chicken meat patties containing lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) leaf powder, and assessing their shelf-life at refrigeration temperature ($4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$). In the refrigerated storage, the pH, lightness, yellowness, springiness values, and sensory properties scores of the control as well as all the treated samples decreased as the storage increased. The hardness, gumminess, chewiness, TBA, and VBN-values of control and all the samples treated with lotus leaf increased during refrigerated storage. At the end of the storage period (day 28), chicken patties containing lotus leaf powder had lower pH, redness, yellowness, TBA, VBN, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values than those of control. The results of this study showed that a lotus leaf powder can increase storage stability in chicken meat products.

This study was conducted to observe the association between antioxidant enzyme activity, free iron content and lipid oxidation of Korean native chicken (KNC) meat during refrigerated storage. Four lines of KNC (Yeonsan ogye, Hyunin black, Hoengseong yakdak and Hwangbong) were raised under similar conditions. A total of 16 roosters were randomly sampled and slaughtered at the age of 12 mon. The breast and thigh meats were stored aerobically for 10 d at 4℃. Although thigh meat had higher antioxidant enzyme activity, it was more susceptible to lipid oxidation and released more iron during storage than breast meat. Aerobic refrigerated storage for 10 d significantly decreased the activity of antioxidant enzymes and increased the amount of free iron and malondialdehyde. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were negatively correlated with lipid oxidation, whereas that of catalase was not. The amount of free iron was positively associated with lipid oxidation. We concluded that chicken line did not affect strongly on antioxidant enzyme activity and lipid oxidation in breast meat of KNC. However, the thigh meat of Hwangbong and Hyunin black had higher SOD and GSH-Px activity, respectively, and lower malondialdehyde contents than that of other chickens. SOD, GSH-Px and free iron play significant roles in meat lipid oxidation during refrigerated storage.

The objective of this study was to assess antioxidant activities of leaves and fruit powder of Cudrania tricuspidata (CT) with different particle sizes (crude, 500 ㎛, 150 ㎛), and determine the physicochemical properties and microbial counts of pork patties with various levels of CT fruit powder (CTFP) during refrigerated storage. Total phenolic content of crude leaves had the highest value of 3.54 g/100 g (p<0.05). Overall, CT leaves (CTLP) had higher total phenolic content than CTFP (p<0.05). 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of CTFP was higher than that of CTLP (p<0.05), which showed higher iron chelating ability and reducing power than CTFP (p<0.05). After pork patties were manufactured with 0.5% and 1.0% of CTFP at 500 ㎛, pH, color values, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), and peroxide values (POV) were then measured. The addition of CTFP into pork patties significantly (p<0.05) increased redness and yellowness values of patties. TBARS values of pork patties containing CTFP were lower (p<0.05) than those of CTFP-0 patties after 10 days of storage. Pork patties added with CTFP showed no significant (p>0.05) difference TBARS values among different storage periods. POV values of pork patties containing CTFP were lower than those of the control from 3 days up to the end of refrigerated storage (p<0.05). These results suggest that CTFP could be used as a natural antioxidant to retard lipid oxidation in meat products during refrigerated storage.

Shinseoncho and kale were made into green vegetable juices by building block [shinsenocho branch (SB), shinsenocho leaf (SL), kale branch (KB), and kale leaf (KL)]. Fluctuations in their phenolic contents and antioxidant capacities were analyzed during refrigerated storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. Total polyphenolic contents of leaf parts showed a decreasing tendency after 4 days (SL) or 7 days (KL), whereas branch parts showed fluctuating values during the entire storage period. The 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging capacity was rapidly decreased in SB and in SL at 28 days (P<0.001), whereas KL showed a slightly increasing tendency after 14 days. For the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity, SL showed a sharp fall at 28 days (P<0.001), and KL showed a decreasing tendency after 14 days (P<0.001). SB showed a steady decrease during the entire storage period and KB indicated a nearly zero (0.97%) at 28 days. Pearson's coefficients for the correlation between antioxidant capacities measured by the ABTS and DPPH assays, and the total polyphenolic contents were determined. The results showed that the ABTS assay (r=0.934, P<0.001) was more strongly positively correlated with the total phenolic contents than the DPPH assay (r=0.630, P<0.001). In conclusion, when considering all building blocks, green vegetable juices, including kale and shinseoncho may have kept antioxidant capacities for up to 14 days under refrigeration, and the ABTS assay better reflects a positive correlation with the total phenolic contents when compared to the DPPH assay.

Lipoxygenase, peroxidase and catalase activities were determined in tissues and brines of refrigerated dill pickling cucumbers in response to pickling process, storage and $H_2O_2$. Lipoxygenase was almost inactivated within 1 day exposure to dill pickling brine, and then gradually declined during storage. In contrast, peroxidase activity in cucumber tissue decreased steadily for 4 days after exposure to dill pickling brine. Catalase was present in fresh cucumber tissues, but only slight activity was observed after submerging cucumbers in pickling brine. Lipoxygenase, peroxidase and catalase activities were rapidly inactivated in cucumbers exposed to brine containing $H_2O_2$.

Objective : Authors analyzed clinical outcomes of cranioplasty according to the materials used for covering defects of the skulls. Methods : From January 1997 to February 2000, there were forty one patients undergone cranioplasty at our institution. We used refrigerated autogenous bone flaps in 19 cases(group A) and methyl methacrylate(MMA) in 22 cases(group B). The medical records and plain skull radiographs of the patient were reviewed. Results : There were thirty men and eleven women. Mean follow up period was 12 months(From operation to last Outpatient department follow up). The mean operative time of the group A($136.8{\pm}3$ minutes) was shorter than the group B($172.7{\pm}2$ minutes, Mann-Whitney test, p=0.001). In group A, the degree of satisfaction was good in 8 cases, fair in 10, and poor in 1. In the group B, there were fair in 13 and poor in 9. So the cosmetic result was superior in the group A(Chi-square test, p=0.00). The complications were occured in one case of flap infection in the group A and 6 in the group B(one stitch abscess, 4 infected flaps, one subgaleal hematoma). Conclusion : Cranioplasty using refrigerated autogenous bone flap showed shorter operative time, better cosmetic results, and less complication rate than those using MMA.

Widely used vegetables such as onion, soybean sprout, and carrot in Korean dishes were studied to reduce losses in firmness during cook/chill storage for food service system. Blanching at 7$0^{\circ}C$ affect positively on textural properties of the three vegetables while reheating at the food service practice. Firmness of the vegetables was improved and stabilized with addition of calcium ion in blanching solution during storage at refrigeration temperature. Calcium was effective to improve or sustain firmness during blanching. The effect of calcium on firmness of blanched and cooked soybean sprout was less significant than that of carrot and onion, especially at short period of storage under refrigerated condition. In conclusion, low temperature blanching with calcium ion was effective to maintain firmness of the three vegetables before cooking while refrigerated storage of the cooked vegetables and subsequent reheating for food service system.

Objective: Terminalia arjuna plant, specially its leaves, bark, and roots, are widely used in traditional herbal medicine due to presence of bioactive components and being a rich source of natural antioxidants. But its fruit has not been used for any such purposes despite its potential to retard oxidation. Hence, the antioxidant potential of Arjuna fruit extract (AFE) in retarding lipid and protein oxidation of raw ground pork was evaluated during refrigerated storage for 9 days. Methods: The AFEs were prepared using different solvents viz. ethanol (EH), water, ethanol: water (60:40) and methanol:hot water (60:40). The AFEs were analysed for total phenolic content (TPC), 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and reducing power. Water extract (WE) and ethanol-water extract (EH-WE) were selected and incorporated at 1.0% into freshly minced pork meat and compared with a synthetic antioxidant, in retarding lipid and protein oxidation during storage. Results: The TPC in AFEs using different solvents ranged from 11.04 to 16.53 mg gallic acid equivalents/g and extracts exhibited appreciable scavenging activity ranging from 50.02% to 58.62%. Arjuna extracts significantly (p<0.05) improved the colour score of meat samples by reducing the formation of metmyoglobin during storage. Both the AFEs (WE and EH-WE) significantly (p<0.05) lowered the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value, peroxide formation and formation of protein carbonyls in raw pork than control sample during storage. Upon sensory evaluation of all samples, it was found that AFE treatment could prolong the storage period of meat samples, without influencing the colour and odour score, up to 6 days. Conclusion: AFEs used at 1% improved the oxidative stability, colour and odour score and prolonged the refrigerated shelf life of ground pork up 6 days. Therefore, AFE could be explored as an alternative natural antioxidant in retarding lipid and protein oxidation in meat products.

This study was conducted to investigate the impact of refrigerator type and temperature fluctuations on the quality changes of refrigerated foods. Phycochemical and sensory quality, as well as microbial growth, were measured for various foods stored in open- or door-type refrigerators set at 5℃ during storage. The average temperatures recorded were 11.50±1.14℃ in an open refrigerator, and 6.34±0.97℃ in a closed refrigerator. The average surface temperatures of the food items were 9.60±1.20 and 6.00±0.80℃ for open and closed refrigerators, respectively. Significant changes in color and appearance quality were observed in lettuce, mackerel, ground beef, and cut pineapples when stored in open refrigerators. Ready-to-Eat foods such as gimbap and sandwiches exhibited higher levels of microbiological proliferation when stored in open refrigerators compared to closed refrigerators. Processed foods, such as sterilized milk and packaged tofu, did not show significant differences in quality among various types of refrigerators. The installation of refrigerator doors can effectively minimize temperature fluctuations caused by external factors, thereby reducing variations in food quality. These findings provide essential insights into the quality changes associated with the implementation of refrigerator doors, serving as fundamental data for ensuring optimal food preservation.

In the refrigerated storages of fishery products, the lipid oxidation of the meats had been the major deterioration factor. For the effective utilization of mackerel, Scomber japonicus, and yellow corvenia, Pseudosciaena manchuria, which are major costal fish in Korea, and were studied about oxidative rancidity during the refrigerated storage at $-18^{\circ}C$ and the effect of different temperatures upon the cooked meat. We detected the results followed. 1. The Induction period of refrigerated storages had 20 days for fresh meat and 60 days for cooked meat. 2. Peroxide and TBA value of cooked meats had half amount values In the comparison with those of fresh meats, 3. Values of mackerel had double amount than those of yellow corvenia in peroxide and TBA value as if the different values come from different fish species, 4. The rancidative degree of the different temperatures on the samples had the least amount at $-5^{\circ}C$ among several kinds of storage temperatures.
