This study was performed to investigate change of quality characteristics on traditional dried Persimmons from Sangju varity regions (sun-dried, Namjang and Bokryong). Moisture contents on drying were decreased and constant at from 7th to 14th days drying periods and its periods were recognized to constructing second peel of dried persimmons. Constructed second peel were affected on quality characteristics of traditional dried Persimmons. Also, in case of semi-dried persimmons were processed at 45∼55% level of moisture content. Final products of semi -dried persimmons were estimated in 25th from initial drying periods. Changes of water activity were increased reducing speed at time of water content decreased, second feel constructing during drying persimmons were introduced to decreasing of water activity. Weights of dried Persimmons were quickly decreased in 21th drying periods and slowly decreased after that time. Weight changing and water evaporation of dried persimmons at the Namjang and Bokryong were slowy decreased and controled after 7∼14th in periods of constructing second feel of dried persimmons. Change of brix in dried persimmons have had in 18∼27% value at initial drying periods and quickly increased after 7∼14th in drying periods and have in high value of 40∼50% at 21th drying periods. At the texture of dried persimmons, hardness were decresed after 7∼14th in periods and effected on decreasing of water content, increasing of drying times. Sensory score of dried persimmons were highest score of color, sweetness and texture at dried persimmons of Namjang. Score of astringency, sourness and mold smell were highest at dried persimmons of Bokryong. Value of highest overall acceptance score was at dried Persimmons of Namjang.

Mulberry fruit is common to keep a frozen storage because of the very high water content. Because freezing-storing cost is generated before the processing or sales, farmers of mulberry fruit production are weighted in financial burden. In addition, mulberry fruit has difficulty in expanding consumption by made in the simple processed products like the mulberry jam, mulberry juice, mulberry enzyme, alcohol, etc. Recent, frozen fruits including frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, frozen mango, frozen rich, frozen mulberry fruit has been started to sell in the large discount stores and convenience stores. However, there is restricted sales in only special place that have the frozen distribution facilities. So, for the income improvement and consumption promotion of mulberry farmers facing these difficult situations, we developed the processing method of semi-dried mulberry fruit using the vacuum freezing dryer. The frozen mulberry fruit which was stored below $-40^{\circ}C$ is to dry in a vacuum freeze dryer, at $30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$, 23 ~ 24 hours. Semi-dried mulberry fruit seperated respectively. It had soft texture, and maintained shape, size and flavor. In particular, semi-dried mulberry fruit can be stored at room temperature.

Extracts from bay leaves, Chongbaek (Allium fistulosum L.), Hutgae (Hovenia dulcis Thunb.) fruit, and green tea, using Soju (Korean alcohol, $30^{\circ}$) as a solvent were analyzed for their antioxidative properties. The eels were evenly coated with the extract concentration equivalent to 2% of their total weight and dried for 15 hours at $35^{\circ}C$ using an air blower. The DPPH radical scavenging effect, acid value and peroxide value of semi-dried eel, and linoleic acid peroxidation of eel oil were investigated. The highest level of DPPH radical scavenging was found in green tea extracts, followed by Hutgae fruit extract and bay leaves extract (p<0.05). The acid value and peroxide value of Hutgae fruit extracts coated eels refrigerated for 21 days were the lowest followed by the green tea extract coated eels. During the 20 days reaction period, all four kinds of extracts analyzed were found to effectively decrease linoleic acid peroxidation. Among them, Hutgae fruit and green tea extracts decreased the peroxide content of eel oil steadily and for a longer period when compared to other extracts. In conclusion, pre-application of Hutgae fruit and green tea extracts on eels before drying was found to be effective in delaying peroxidation in eels during the drying process and refrigeration.

Antioxidative polyethylene films for food packaging were experimentally prepared by fortification of TBHQ(tertiary butylhydroquinone) and dl-a-tocopherol at the weight ratio of 0.05, 0.2 and 0.5%, respectively and laminated with nylon. TBHQ and tocopherol contents in the PE/nylon film were analyzed and the antioxidative effects of film were investigated on the lipid oxidation of semi-dried squid during storage at 5℃ and l5℃. TBHQ contents of TAP 1(TBHQ 0.05%), TAP 2(TBHQ 0.2%) and TAP 3(0.5%) were 38, 146 and 365 mg/100g, respectively. Tocopherol contents of DAP l(tocopherol 0.05%), DAP 2(tocopherol 0.2%) and DAP 3(tocopherol 0.5%) were 33, 139 and 356 mg/l00g, respectively. TBA value and POV during storage of semi-drid squid were affected both by storage temperatures and packaging films. Lipid oxidation during storage was retarded by anti-oxidative films, as TBA value of TAP 3 and DAP 3 revealed about 50% of control after storage at 5℃ for 20 days and similer effects in POV were also observed.

This study examined the optimal salting drying method and processing conditions (salt concentration, curing time, dry temperature, and drying time) for preparing salted semi-dried common gray mullet (SSD-CGM) Mugil cephalus based on the moisture content, salinity, and overall acceptance using response surface methodology (RSM). The moisture content, salinity, and overall acceptance of SSD-CGM prepared with different salting methods revealed that dry salting was the optimal salting method for preparing high-quality SSD-CGM. The optimal drying method for preparing high-quality SSD-CGM based on the drying velocity and sensory color was hot air-blast drying. The results of the RSM program indicated that the optimal independent variables ($X_1$, salt concentration; $X_2$, curing time; $X_3$, dry temperature; $X_4$, drying time) based on the dependent variables ($Y_1$, moisture content; $Y_2$, salinity; $Y_3$, overall acceptance) for high-quality SSD-CGM were 5.6% for $X_1$, 2.7 h for $X_2$, $47.0^{\circ}C$ for $X_3$, and 8.5 h for $X_4$ for uncoded values. The predicted values of $Y_1$, $Y_2$, and $Y_3$ for SSD-CGM prepared under optimal conditions were 54.4%, 4.2%, and 6.3, respectively, while the experimental values were $55.2{\pm}1.0%$, $4.1{\pm}0.3%$ and $6.7{\pm}0.8$. The actual and predicted values did not differ.

This study reviewed the effect of the drying conditions on the production of biogenic amines and lipid oxidation in semi-dried Pacific saury Cololabis saira or Guamegi. The moisture content of the Guamegi ranged from $32.71{\pm}2.37$ to $45.9{\pm}2.60$ g/100 g. The respective ranges of the acid value (AV) and peroxide value (POV) were $1.39{\pm}0.40$ to $15.79{\pm}0.47$ mg KOH/g and $76.14{\pm}2.19$ to $282.84{\pm}2.34$ meq/kg on drying for 3 days. The AV and POV increased for up to 3 days of drying and the values differed according to the amount of sunlight and temperature. However, lipid oxidation was reduced in Guamegi manufactured using a cold-air drying method. The fatty acid composition and the biogenic amine content in Guamegi during drying did not differ significantly with the drying method or drying date. The main saturated, monoene and polyene fatty acids were palmitic acid, eicosenoic & erucic acids, and eicosapentaenoic & docosahexaenoic acids, respectively. At 16.67 to 71.89 mg/kg, the histamine content was higher than that of other biogenic amines and it increased significantly during drying. In conclusion, this study showed that the packaging and drying conditions of Guamegi products need to be improved to inhibit lipid oxidation and biogenic amine formation.

This study evaluated the effects of rice bran fiber (RBF) on the quality of semi-dried pork jerky (SDPJ). SDPJ was supplemented with RBF at levels of 0 (control), 1, 2, and 3%. The addition of RBF at various levels affected the composition of SDPJ except for the fat content (p>0.05). The addition of RBF at a level higher than 2% increased the protein and ash contents of SDPJ (p<0.05). The addition of RBF at various levels also affected the physiochemical properties of SDPJ (p<0.05) except for water activity (p>0.05). Increased level of RBF increased the pH. The rancidity of SDPJ was increased (p<0.05) regardless of the RBF level, whereas the metmyoglobin content (%) of SDPJ was increased at a level higher than 2%. Increased level of RBF decreased the shear force (p<0.05) and the increased processing yield of SDPJ (p<0.05). Jerky made with 2% RBF scored highest for sensory properties, including color, tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptability (p<0.05). These results indicate that SDPJ containing 2% RBF had the most acceptable quality characteristics, but further study is required to reduce the rancidity induced by the addition of RBF.

To evaluate microbiological and aflatoxin safety on traditional dried persimmon, a total of 315 samples were collected from 105 farms. The collected samples were assessed on aflatoxin and microorganisms (Aerobic plate count, coliform count, Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus). The the APC of sliced dried persimmon, dried persimmon, and semi dried persimmon were $3.93{\pm}0.96$, $2.12{\pm}0.93$, and $1.50{\pm}1.08{\log}\;CFU/g$, respectively. S. aureus was detected in 40.0% of sliced dried persimmon, 29.5% of dried persimmon, and 23.5% of semi dried persimmon. E. coli recovered from dried persimmon and semi dried persimmon was 6.6%, and 2.9%, respectively. However, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., and L. monocytogenes were not detected. According to the result of aflatoxin by ELISA and UPLC, aflatoxin was not detected in any sample. These data suggested that safety management system should be introduce to the farms producing traditional dried persimmon to enhance the safety of traditional dried persimmon.
