Selection of stress-tolerant ginseng lines in fields is very difficult because it is almost impossible to control properly the environmental conditions of soil. On the contrary, it can be studied with ease to search for stress-tolerant ginseng lines through in vitro culture because of easy manipulation of stress conditions. This study was conducted for the selection of ginseng pure lines tolerant to salt stress. Murashige ＆amp; Skoog(MS) media with 2.5 folds of KNO$_3$, NH$_4$NO$_3$, MgSO$_4$.7$H_2O$, KH$_2$PO$_4$, and CaC1$_2$.2$H_2O$ was established for the selection of ginseng pure lines tolerant to salt stress in vitro. Among 88 ginseng pure lines bred by Korea Ginseng and Tobacco Research Institute, Punggi Hwangsuk, 78093, 82886, 78135, 86024 and KG104 lines was tolerant to salt stress. For the stable production of quality Korean ginseng, genetic tolerance to salt stress is one of important factors since relatively high salt concentrations in the ginseng nursery soil environment of Korea. Ginseng inbred pure lines were tested for their tolerance to salt stress through in vitro culture technique.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate functional properties of reduced-salt pork meat products made of pre-rigor pork loin treated by different freezing temperatures (-30℃ and -70℃) during storage. Methods: Pre-rigor cured pork loin with 1.0% added salt was compared to post-rigor muscle added with 1.5% salt for pH, color (L^*, a^*, b^*), cooking loss (CL), expressible moisture, warner-Bratzler shear value, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN). Results: Pre-rigor cured pork loins had higher pH and temperature than post-rigor ones as raw meat (p<0.05). pH values were higher for pre-rigor pork loins than those of post-rigor pork loins (p<0.05). Color values did not different among treatments (p>0.05). No color differences were observed during storage period after cooking (p>0.05). The CL (%) of pre-rigor cured pork loins was the lowest when frozen at -70℃. The TBARS and VBN increased from 8 weeks of storage (p<0.05), but no further changed thereafter (p>0.05). Pre-rigor cured pork loins added with 1.0% salt showed similar characteristics to post-rigor pork loins added with 1.5% salt. Conclusion: Cured pork loins could be produced using pre-rigor muscle added with 1/3 of the original salt level (1.5%) and could be stored for up to 4 wks of frozen storage, regardless of a frozen temperature of -30℃ or -70℃ without detrimental effects.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate quality characteristics of reduced-salt pork sausage (PS) using pre-rigor muscle compared to those of regular-salt PS. In addition, effects of freezing on sausage batter with different temperatures (-30℃ vs -70℃) on quality characteristics of both sausage batter and cooked sausages during frozen storage were observed. Methods: Pre-rigor and post-rigor pork hams were used to manufacture low-fat sausages. Sausages using post-rigor (Post) muscle were manufactured at a salt level of 1.5%, whereas those with pre-rigor (Pre) muscle were processed at salt level of 1.0%. After these muscles were made at two salt levels (1.5% salt, Post-rigor; 1.0% salt, Pre-rigor), Sausage batters were stored at two frozen temperatures (-30℃ vs -70℃). During storage for 12 wks, they were measured for physicochemical and textural properties every 4 wks up to 12 wks. Results: pH values and temperatures of sausage batter of pre-rigor muscle were higher than those of post-rigor muscle regardless of the frozen temperature. The lightness and yellowness values of batter at the initial storage were the highest during storage. For PS, there were no differences in most parameters measured among all treatments. However, expressible moisture values (%) of Pre-30 and Pre-70 were lower than those of Post-30 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Regardless of frozen temperature during storage, quality characteristics of pre-rigor PS with salt level of 1.0% salt were similar to those of post-rigor PS with salt level of 1.5%. By using the pre-rigor muscle, salt content could be reduced by one third of the regular-salt level (1.5%) of post-rigor muscle.

In order to observe the factors affecting light utilization efficiency in the canopy of a rice crop grown in reclaimed saline areas in Korea, 22 varieties of rice were cultured at the average salt concentration of 6.05mmhos/cm $25^{\circ}C$, (0.39%) in saline soils and non-saline silty loam soils. The inhibition of tillering ability by salt damage at the maximum tillering stage was greater than to growth in height. A significant direct correlation was observed between both ratios and salt concentration with each variety. In the salty areas the length of the flag leaf of the maturing stage showed a positive correlation with the production of rough rice while other living leaf showed a negative correlation. LAI of maturing stage was less in the salty area than in the non-salty area, while the former showed higher ratio in net assimilation and translocation to head with greater RGR before and after the heading stage.

Aspergillus sp. 101 was isolated from the Korean traditional soybean paste for the production of a salt-tolerant protease. The optimal condition for the production of a salt-tolerant protease was determined with various energy sources such as carbon, nitrogen, and protein, and at different culture conditions such as temperature, pH, incubation time and NaCl concentration. The most favorable organic nitrogen sources were 2% defatted soybean flour (DSF) and soy protein isolate (SPI). Optimal pH and temperature were pH 6.0 and $25{\sim}27^{\circ}C$, respectively. Therefore, Aspergillus sp. 101 protease was a mild acid (or neutral) protease. Protease production was the highest at 0.1% concentration of $CaCO_3,\;K_2HPO_4$ and Arabicgum. Aspergillus sp. 101 could grow in culture medium at 15% NaCl concentration and produce a salt-tolerant protease even at 7% NaCl. The cell mass and protease activity of Aspergillus sp. 101 cultured in a modified medium was comparatively higher in Czapek dox and protease producing media. Hence, Aspergillus sp. 101 protease can be utilized in soy or fish sauce industry as a salt-tolerant protease starter.

When S. fradiae was cultured in S medium, it stavted to produce neomycin in the middle of stationary phase of growth. Antibitoic production is regulated not only by glucose but also by metabolites formed from glucose. A chemically defined minimal salt broth was developen for the study of metabolites activating produition of antibiotic in a neomycin producer. When growth and production or antibiotic in minimal salt broth was examined with a full grown or a vefctativc mycelium, the medium was found not to be good for the growth, but to be good enough for the production of antibiotic with a full grown mycelium. When many carbotlydrates, organic acids, or alcohol were supplmented with instead of glucose in the medium suspcndcn with a full grown mycelium, the amount of antibiotic produced in the medium containing fumaratc was 5 times more than that in the medium with glucose. Further study indicated that the medium is not good also for the growth but good for the production of antibiotic. The antibiotic produced in this medium was identified to be neomycin. The activation of the production of neomycin by fumarate was further confirmed in a complex medium. Fuinarate is suspected to initiate and to activate the biosynthesis of neomycin at the gene level.

In this research, we have developed a manufacturing process for seawater salt by horizontal spray drying technique using the deep ocean water and seaweed(sea tangle). Deep ocean water, strong acidic electrolyzed water and strong alkaline electrolyzed water were used as extraction solvent of seaweed. Sodium content in seaweed extract solution by strong alkaline electrolyzed water was 1.63(mg/g), which was 3.5 times lower than of seaweed extract by strong acidic electrolyzed water. Major mineral content(Na, K, Ca) in seawater salt by deep ocean water were higher than strong acidic electrolyzed water and strong alkaline electrolyzed water. On the contrary, Mg contents in seawater salt by deep ocean water were lower than strong acidic electrolyzed water and strong alkaline electrolyzed water. Based on the results of seawater salt production using seaweed, it is possible to make law-salt efficiently.

This study was carried out to examine the salting and desalting of small casings from hog and to determine the shelf-life during cold storage. The concentration of salt in the casings equilibrated with that of the added salt after 1 day for 10%, after 2 days for 20% after 7 days for 40% salting level. During desalting at 15 and $30^{\circ}C$, residual salt concentrations in the casings decreased to less than 1% after 1 hour for 10% salt, after 12 hours for 20% salt and after 24 hours for 40% salt. The total colony count of the freshly prepared casing was about log10 4.2. The initial microflora of the prepared casings was dominated by lactic acid bacteria. The higher the salting level, the greater the microbial growth was suppressed during 6 months of storage at refrigerator temperature ($4^{\circ}C$). A salt content of 20% is satisfactory if the casings are being stored for less than 1 month before being used.

Rock salt is a near-perfect material for gas storage repositories due to its excellent ductility and low permeability. Gas storage in rock salt layers during gas injection and gas production causes the stress redistribution surrounding the cavity. The triaxial cyclic loading and unloading tests for rock salt were performed in this paper. The elastic-plastic deformation behaviour of rock salt under cyclic loading was observed. Rock salt experienced strain hardening during the initial loading, and the irreversible deformation was large under low stress station, meanwhile the residual stress became larger along with the increase of deviatoric stress. Confining pressure had a significant effect on the unloading modulus for the variation of mechanical parameters. Based on the theory of elastic-plastic damage mechanics, the evolution of damage during cyclic loading and unloading under various confining pressure was described.
