The differences in the proteolytic patterns and shear force of pork and beef during aging were evaluated. Pork and beef semitendinosus muscles were obtained at 24 and 48 h postmortem, respectively, and aged at 4℃ for 0 (Day 0), 7 (Day 7), and 14 days (Day 14). Changes in the electrical conductivity were observed in pork on Day 7 and beef on Day 14. The calpain activity increased in pork (p<0.05) after 14 days of aging, whereas that of beef decreased on Day 7 (p<0.05). The cathepsin B activity in pork and beef increased between Day 7 and 14 (p<0.05). The content of α-amino group in the 10% trichloroacetic acid-soluble fraction increased between Day 7 and 14 in pork (p<0.05), but increased steadily in beef throughout aging (p<0.05). The electrophoretogram of the myofibrillar proteins revealed a 30 kDa protein band only in the beef lane on Day 14. The cooked pork had no significant changes in the shear force during aging periods (p>0.05), while the gradual decrease in the shear force with the increasing aging periods was shown in the cooked beef (p<0.05). Circular dichroism analysis of myosin extracts from pork and beef revealed thermal denaturation temperatures of 55℃ and 58℃, respectively. This study highlights the different post-mortem proteolytic patterns and thermal denaturation temperatures of myosin in pork and beef semitendinosus muscles, which contribute to distinct changes in the shear force during aging between pork and beef.

Paeksulkis(Korean rice cake) containing 0-0.5% chitosan were prepared for test the quality of microbiological, mechanical and sensory characteristics. The pH of Paeksulkis was 5.65 without chitosan and that was about 7.0 with 0.05-0.5% level of chitosan. In Hunter's color values of Paeksulkis of control, the lightness(L) was 84.28, redness(a) was -1.56 and yellowness(b) was 7.68. The lightness(L), redness(a) and yellowness(b) were increased with increasing concentration of chitosan in Paeksulkis. In mechanical characteristics of Paeksulkis, cohesiveness and springiness were the highest in control group while strength, hardness, gumminess and brittlenes were higher in chitosan added group than control group. In sensory evaluation of Pasksulkis, control group obtained the highest score in color, texture, after swallowing and overall quality(p<0.05) but chitosan added group obtained higher scores in moisture than control(p<0.05). Total bacterial counts(TBC) of Paeksulgis immediately before storage were 4.2∼9.2$\times$10$^2$CFU/g and those of control increased for 2 weeks, reached at 7.4$\times$10$\^$5/ CFU/g and then decreased about 1 log cycle for 2 weeks during storage at 5$\^{C}$. TBC of Paeksulgis added 0.3∼0.5% of chitosan were 2 log cycles lower than that of control at the end of storage at 5$\^{C}$. TBC of Pasksulgis control increased to 10$\^$8/ CFU/g during storage at 20$\^{C}$ but that of 0.5% chitosan added group was 1 log cycle lower than control at the end of storage. Shelf-life extension of Paeksulkis by chitosan was more effective during storage at 5$\^{C}$ than at 20$\^{C}$.

The followings describes the result of making doenjang with added licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) powder. and investigating its sensory characteristics and physicochemical quality. General preference was high at 20% salinity and 2% licorice (LD204), and 16% salinity and 2% licorice (LD162). The moisture content was unchanged in the control group, while it was reduced in LD204 and LD162 in the first week of fermentation, but showed little change after then. pHs were all in the range 5.90~5.97 on day 0, but decreased from 5.90 to 5.72 in the control group in the fifth week. LD204 changed from 5.95 on day 0to 5.42 in the first week, and then it gradually increased again and became 5.93 in the fifth week, which was similar to that of day 0. LD162 was 5.97 on day 0 and showed cyclic slight increases and decreases in the first week. It increased to 6.32 in the fifth week, which was higher than that of day 0 that is, its pH was higher than that of LD204. The acidity showed a difference right after it was made. In the control group, lactic acid content gradually increased from 0.16% on day 0 to the highest, 0.59%, in the fourth week. It slightly decreased in the fifth week. LD204 slowly increased from 0.25% on day 0 to a maximum, 0.50%, in the fourth week. It also slightly decreased in the fifth week, quite similarly to that of the control group. LD162, gradually increased from 0.22% on day 0 to the highest, 0.49, in the third week, and decreased after the fourth week. Salinity was 29.5%, 22.0%, and 18% in each of the control group, LD204, and LD162 on day 0 but increased to 34.0%, 29.0%, and 26.0% in the fifth week. Soluble solid was $32^{\circ}Brix$, $28^{\circ}Brix$, and $26^{\circ}Brix$ in each of the control group, LD204, and LD162 on day 0, but slightly increased to $40^{\circ}Brix$, $32^{\circ}Brix$, and $30^{\circ}Brix$ on the fifth day. It is thought that because of the sweetness of licorice, the higher-salinity doenjang earned a higher sensory test score than that of traditional doenjang. If its salinity is lowered a little, it could be used as a sauce, even possibly having medical effects as well.

Purpose: The Nutrient intake during the growth period is a critical factor for the development of the vision. In this study, we have analyzed the nutrient that has a correlation with the decrease of induced visual impairment. In addition, we investigated visual acuity and correlation of the nutrient in the higher-income youth and low-income youth. Methods: We used the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010 document. The Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey didn't show the clear standard of carbohydrates and fats, so we used the data from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety standards with each 330 g, 51 g. In order to compare the correlation of nutrients and refraction, Nutrients has been classified macronutrients(energy, dietary fiber, protein, carbohydrate, fat), fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A), water-soluble vitamins (vitamin C, riboflavin, niacin), trace minerals (iron), minerals (calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium) and water. Results: We investigated the correlation between refraction and nutrients on average about 328 subjects belonging to the high-income group. The fat intake was $54.21{\pm}32.60$ g, and it was about 2~10 times less than the recommended daily intake (112-540 g). Refractive power and fat intake showed a statistically significant correlation (O.D:p=0.033, O.S:p=0.029). We investigated the correlation between refraction and nutrients on average about 309 subjects belonging to the lowincome group. The phosphorus showed higher ingested by the $1118.75{\pm}501.98$ mg, and the sodium showed intake more than three times recommended intake by the $3705.24{\pm}2089.42$ mg. In addition, unlike other macro mineral it showed that was a correlation on the refraction by the 0.031. Conclusions: A broad variety of taking nutrition and good eating habits at the time of growth seems to have an effects to the good growth and vision and the senescence inhibition of vision.ave an effect to the good growth, the good vision and the senescence inhibition of vision.

The present study was conducted to establish an effect and a proper concentration for treatment with gibberellic acid ($GA_3$) and thidiazuron (TDZ), resulting with increase berry size and yield in Gaeryangmeoru grapes. Berry size was increased by treatment with $GA_3$, and the fruit clusters obtained for the groups treated with $GA_3$ concentrations of 100 and $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ were bigger. The berry number was also enhanced in $GA_3$ treated groups, but the soluble solid content and acidity was not significantly different. Damage caused by $GA_3$ treatment, such as peel pollination and berry shatter, was observed in the group with $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. The berry size was larger in group treated with a high concentration of $GA_3$ and TDZ respectively than in those treated with low concentrations in the treatment mixed $GA_3$ and TDZ; however, fruit with low soluble solid content and high acidity was harvested after $GA_3$ and TDZ treatment due to delay of berry ripening. The pericarp tissue layers were not changed, but the distance from the epidermis layer to vascular bundle tissue was increased as a result of $GA_3$ and TDZ treatment. Therefore, $GA_3$ and TDZ did not affect an cell division but not cell size, resulting in an enlarged berry size. It is necessary to treat plant growth regulators 2~3 times and immediately after berry set to enhance berry set rate, because the period of berry set is short. This study suggests that the proper concentration for enhancing berry size and set were up to $100mg{\cdot}L^1$ $GA_3$ or $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}GA_3+1.25mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ TDZ, and it is necessary to pay attention to harvest mature fruits because of the delay of ripening caused by the usage of TDZ.

The quality characteristics of Goami by-product under the mixed enzyme treatment condition of $\alpha$-amylase and cellulase have been compared, and found the highest amount of soluble solids and reducing sugars at the $\alpha$-amylase treated group (A), and the contents revealed to show gradual decrease with the increase of cellulase content. The amounts of total dietary fiber and total sugars did not show large difference by both of enzyme concentration. The result of sugar analysis revealed the presence of all $G{\sim}G5$ in all treatment groups, and the content of malto-oligosaccharide recorded the highest content of 2,200 mg% at the $\alpha$-amylase treatment group (A). When the quality characteristic of the hydrolyzed powders manufactured by the optimum hydrolysis condition was compared, no significant color difference was found between samples. Among the contents of dietary fibers, insoluble dietary fiber was found to present in the lowest content of 6.95% at the Goami flour (GF) and the Goami by-product powder (GBPP) and Goami by-product hydrolysate powder (GBPHP) resulted the similar content around 14% and the highest soluble dietary fibers content was found in Goami by-product hydrolysate powder (GBPHP), which was followed by in the order of Goami by-product powder (GBPP) and Goami flour (GF), but the content variation was not large. The free amino acid was found to be highest in Goami by-product hydrolysate powder (GBPHP) followed by in the order of Goami by-product powder (GBPP) and Goami flour (GF). In the sugar analysis, the Goami by-product hydrolysate powder (GBPHP) was found with all $G{\sim}G5$ sugars by showing the highest amount of 1,800 mg% At the Goami by-product powder (GBPP), $G{\sim}G2$ sugars were detected with about 66 mg% and malto-oligosaccharides were not detected at the Goami flour (GF). Based upon the results, the functionality of Goami by-product hydrolysate powder (GBPHP) was found to be enforced compared to Goami flour (GF) and Goami by-product powder (GBPP), which allow us to expect it to be used as the various rice processing food source.

For the production of Yakhobak (Cucurbita maxima subsp. maxima) paste under various heating conditions, we steamed Yakhobak for roughly 20 min, followed by heating under high pressure treatment for 0 min (HHP0), 20 min (HHP20), 40 min (HHP40), and 60 min (HHP60). The physicochemical and sensory characteristics were subsequently investigated. Generally, no significant difference was observed in organic acid content and sensory characteristics score between Yakhobak paste treated with and without high-pressure heating. However, there was a significant difference in color value, soluble solids, and free sugar content. The L value for color of the group HHP0, untreated control Yakhobak paste (no high-pressure heating), decreased as time increased from 20 min to 60 min, with L values of 44.33, 44.25, and 42.86, respectively. The b value for the color of Yakhobak paste also decreased, showing a significant difference. Soluble solids and free sugar (fructose, glucose, sucrose) contents of the high-pressure heat-treated groups HHP20, HHP40, and HHP60 decreased compared with untreated group HHP0. Organic acid composition of Yakhobak paste included citric acid, malic acid, and fumaric acid, and the major organic acid was malic acid. Sensory score of HHP40 was the highest among all experimental groups in terms of overall preference, but there was no significant difference.

In the silage quality, the process of fermentation and use of micro-organism as starter cultures are crucial. The present study investigated the effect of homo and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria as a starter culture strain on the silage quality and its aerobic stability using meta-analysis. Total 19 studies were used in the analysis. According to the strains of lactic acid bacteria used, experimental groups were assigned to heterofermentative (HEL), mixture of hetero and homofermentative (HHO), homofermentative (HOL) and various homofermentative (HOM). In each experimental group, standardized result of the treatment (with inoculant) was compared with the control (without inoculant) using risk ratio calculation method. The effect of experimental group was also compared. Different starter culture strains did not influence on silage pH and propionic acid production. However, lactic acid and acetic acid production were significantly (p<0.05) influenced by the start culture strains. HOM showed the greatest lactic acid production and HEL was the lowest. In contrast, HEL showed the greatest in acetic acid production and HOM and HOL were the lowest. In terms of ammonia nitrogen, HHO produced more (p<0.05) than the rest of the treatment. In crude protein and water soluble carbohydrate contents, there were no significant effects among treatments. Different strain of lactic acid bacteria significantly influenced on the effect of aerobic stability (p<0.05). Use of heterofermentative showed greater aerobic stability and the use of homofermentative lactic acid bacteria.

Many enzymes catalyze a primary reaction and/or secondary reaction. Dextransucrase usually synthesize dextran from sucrose as a primary reaction. The secondary reaction of dextransucrase is the transfer of glucose from sucrose to carbohydrate accepters. We have reacted dextransucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-742CB with sucrose and starches; granule or gelatinized starches, and Small or Potato starches. The yield of modified starch was ranged from 46% to 72%(s.d.<${pm}$5%) of theoretical depends on various reaction conditions. Modified products were more resistant against the hydrolysis of ${alpha}$-amylase, isoamylase, pullulanase and endo-dextranase than those of native starch. Based on the reactions from enzyme hydrolysis and methylation followed by acid hydrolysis modification of granule starch was more efficient than the modification of gelatinized starch. After modification of granule starch with dextransucrase, there produced a soluble modified starch. After modification the starch granules were fractionated to small size. The positions of glucose substitution of the modified products were determined by methylation followed by acid hydrolysis and analyzed by TLC. The products were modified by the addition of glucose to the position of C3, C4 and C6 free hydroxyl group of glucose residues in the starch.

The effects of calcium concentrations of coating bag treatment to reduce berry cracking were investigated through the changes of pericarp structure and berry cracking rate in 'Kyoho' grape. The soluble solids and anthocyanin contents in harvested grapes were highest at $18.1^{\circ}Brix$ and $2.56{\mu}g{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ in non bagging group compared with those of calcium coating bag treatments. The firmness of pericarp was lowest in non bagging group ($1.18kg{\cdot}5mm^{-1}{\O}$) compared with bagging treatments (1.23, 1.24, 1.27, $1.35kg{\cdot}5mm^{-1}{\O}$) which increased effectively in proportion to calcium concentration. As a result of histological observation of the fruit skin, the bagging with higher calcium concentration developed thicker epidermal and sub-epidermal layer of cell wall than that of non bagging. Moreover, the strengthened berry skin of calcium treatments effectively decreased berry cracking rate under critical turgor pressure. However, the 9% calcium coating bag treatment which was the most effective for cracking reduction seriously decreased marketability of harvested grape with white color staining on berry skin caused by eluted calcium from the coated paper bag. Based on our results, we recommend that 6% calcium coating bag be available for berry cracking reduction and higher quality production.
