The biggest Problem of low-salted Jeot-gal is the reduction of its shelf-life. Chitosan, glucono $\delta-lactone, $ and sykeeper were added to extend the shelf-life of low-salted Myungran-jeot, and various chemical and microbiological analyses were carried out during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C.$ Sykeeper inhibited the increase in pH, and production of lactic acid, VBN, TMA, TBA, and the microbial growth, whereas enhanced the production of amino-N. But, chitosan and glucono $\delta-lactone$ had no significant difference from the control. The estimated shelf-life periods of low-salted Myngran-jeot fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ for control, chitosan, glucono $\delta-lactone, $ and sykeeper were about 14, 12, 16, and 19 days, respectively.

Although the mackerel is an excellent food, there are disadvantages of its own smell and its shelf-life. So this study aimed to examine the quality assessment, shelf-life and acceptability of mackerel marinated with different amounts of thyme extract through the salinity, pH, texture, change of color, and sensory evaluation for reducing the smell of it and improving the shelf-life and acceptability of it with the thyme of various physiologic activities. The salinity of mackerel marinated with different amounts of thyme was a lower 2% than that of the existing salted mackerel, 5%, when producing the salted mackerel in the experimental method of this study, reducing the intake of salt. The shelf life of the existing salted mackerel was up to 4 weeks, while that of the salted mackerel marinated with thyme extract was up to 5 weeks. The change in pH during storage showed that the salted mackerel marinated with thyme extract after 5 weeks were within the initial decomposition of dark-fleshed fishes, pH 6.2-6.4, which the shelf life was extended due to the preservative effect of antioxidant content. The acceptability test showed that T 1 marinated with 1% thyme extract was ideal in all flavor, taste and general acceptability.

In order to develop a rapid predicting method of the shelf-life of moisture sensitive foods and establish their proper packaging methods, the qualify changes and shelf-life of dired laver as a model food were studied by the computer simulation. A mathematical model of the relationship between the rate constants of chlorophyll a and water activity was established at $10^{\circ}C,\;25^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$. Computer simulation to predict water activity and chlorophyll a was developed by considering the simultaneous influence of storage conditions such as water content of products, storage temperature and relative humidity, packaging materials. Simulated quality changes of dried laver was in good agreement with the experiment data. Chlorophyll a and sensory score decreased as the water activity increased. And correlation coefficient between the sensory scores and the contents of chlorophyll a was very high as 0.991. The critical water activity by sensory evaluation was around 0.55. The shelf-life of dried laver packaged with plastic films could be predicted from the above results in various storage conditions.

To develop a predictive model for the shelf-life of fish cake, fish cake was stored at 30, 35, or $40^{\circ}C$ and populations of total aerobic bacteria were determined during storage. Gompertz model parameters were determined and their dependence on temperature formulated as a quadratic equation for applications toward shelf-life prediction. The predicted shelf-life values for fish cake used in this study were 6.9, 5.5, and 3.8 days at 0, 4, and $10^{\circ}C$, respectively. The shelf-life prediction equation was appropriate based on statistical analyses that reveal accuracy and bias factors. These results suggest that our prediction model is applicable for estimating the shelf-life of fish cake.

Objective: In most retail centers, primal pork cuts for sale are usually prepared into retail-ready slices and overwrapped with air-permeable plastic film. Also, meat of Korean native black pig (KNP) is reputed for its superior quality, however, its shelf life during retail display has not been studied. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate shelf life of prepackaged retail-ready KNP belly and shoulder butt slices during refrigerated display. Methods: Bellies and shoulder butt obtained at 24 h post-mortem from finishing KNP were used. Each belly or shoulder butt was manually cut into 1.5 cm-thick slices. The slices in each cut type were randomly taken and placed on white foam tray (2 slices/tray) overwrapped with polyvinyl chloride film. The retail-ready packages were then placed in a retail display cabinet at 4℃. Shelf life and sensory quality of the samples were evaluated on day 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 of display. Results: The shoulder butt reached the upper limit (20 mg/100 g) of volatile basic nitrogen for fresh meat after 9 days while, the belly remained within this limit throughout the display time (15 days). Both the cuts reached a thiobarbituric acid reactive substances level of above 0.5 mg malondialdehyde/kg after 9 days. The a^* (redness) values remained unchanged during first 9 days in both cuts (p>0.05). After 9 days, off-flavor was not found in either cut, but higher off-flavor intensity was found in shoulder butt after 12 days. The shoulder butt was unacceptable for overall eating quality after 12 days while, belly still was acceptable after 12 days. Conclusion: The belly showed a longer shelf life compared to the shoulder butt, and a shelf life of 9 and 12 days is recommended for the prepackaged retail-ready KNP shoulder butt and belly slices, respectively.

The danger of self-ignition of single base propellants will increase with time. Therefore, a good prediction of the safe storage time is very important. In order to determine the remaining shelf-life of the propellants, the content of stabilizer is determined. The propellants stored under normal storage conditions about 10 to 18 years were investigated and accelerated aging test was carried out by storing propellant sample at higher temperature. Finally, we analyzed the results by various methods in order to show the best way to predict the realistic shelf-life. The safe storage life of the propellants will be 24 years, at least 15 years. In case of applying Arrhenius's law, using the reaction rate constant at 28$^{\circ}C$ to 30$^{\circ}C$ to predict the shelf-life by accelerated aging test is reasonable for a good prediction.

This study was designed to verify the shelf-life of a freeze dried-block type of convenience food for rockfish Sebastes schlegeli seaweed soup product stored at different storing temperatures (25, 35, and 45℃) for 5 months. The polyunsaturated:saturated fatty acid ratio of the product stored at 25℃ was higher than that of products stored at 35℃ and 45℃ for 5 months. The colorimetric assessment indicated a noticeable decrease in the brightness of product color after 5months of storage at 35℃ and 45℃. Increased storage temperature and time negatively affected the product color. The products stored at 35℃ and/or 45℃ for more than 3 months tended to be more yellowish-red in color than those stored at 25℃ for shorter periods. No disease-causing microorganisms, including Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, posing health hazards to the human, were detected on food safety evaluation, regardless of storage conditions. Based on food visual shelf life simulator the shelf life of the rockfish seaweed soup was estimated approximately 22 months, considering the data from yellowness the safety factor of 0.7.

One of the biggest Problems in making jeotkal is the reduction of its shelf-life when lowering the salt content from 20-30% to below 10%. Therefore, in order to extend the shelf-life of the low-salted jeotkal, prior to setting the minimum allowance value of sulfiting agents as food additives for fermented fish products, the preservative effects of sulfite salts on the low-salted myungranjeot (soused roe of Alaska pollack) were studied through various chemical and microbial analyses. The pHs of the low-salted Myungranjeot treated with bisulfite and metasulfite salts rapidly decreased in the biginning of fermentation, while the lactic acid contents increased constantly. Sodium bisulfite and metasulfite enhanced the production of $NH_2-N$ after 10 day-fermentation, whereas they inhibited the production of VBN, TMA and TBA, and the growth of microorganisms including fungi during fermentation. The estimated shelf-lives of low-salted myungranjeot treated with control, sodium sulfate, sodium bisulfite, and sodium metasulfite on the basis of VBN 50 mg% were about 16, 14, 20 and 24 days, respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of packaging methods on the shelf-life of refrigerated chicken parts at $4^{\circ}C$. The microbial and physicochemical changes of chicken parts during storage periods were also examined to determine the shelf-life. The shelf-life of chicken parts dipped in 7.5% potassium sorbate with different packaging methods such as conventional packaging, vacuum packaging and modified atmosphere packaging was determined. The shelf-life of conventional packaged chicken parts dipped in 7.5% potassium was $19\pm3$ days and the shelf-life of vacuum packaged chicken parts dipped in 7.5% potassium sorbate was $30\pm5$ days. The shelf-life of 10% $CO_2$ and 90% $N_2$ gas contained packaged chicken parts dipped in 7.5% potassium sorbate was $26\pm4$ days while 20% $CO_2$ and 80% $N_2$ gas contained packaged chicken parts dipped in 7.5% potassium sorbate was $30\pm5$ days.
