This study investigated the processing characteristics of soybean (HaePum) sprouts based on temperature (5, 15 and room temperature), period (0, 6 and 12 mon) and relative humidity (20, 40, 60, and 80%) during storage. The initial germination rate of soybean sprouts was 76.02±6.32%, which significantly reduced to 57.18±8.51%, and 0% as the storage temperature of soybean increased for a period of 12 mon. The germination rate of soybean sprouts with 30 ℃ and 80% RH decreased after 4 mon of storage to 4.94%. The yellowness of cotyledon of soybean sprouts was not significantly changed during the 12 mon period of storage at 5 ℃, whereas, soybean sprouts stored at 15 ℃ and room temperature demonstrated decreased yellowness. However, the stress of cotyledon decreased with an increase in both storage temperature and time, and the hardness of hypocotyl decreased with an increase of storage time. The stress of cotyledon affected by high temperature (30 ℃) and humidity (80%) during 4 mon was reduced to 44.39±9.38 g/㎟. The asparagine content of soybean sprouts showed a similar result with the germination rate due to the amount of hypocotyl. Therefore, lower temperatures and shorter storage times are suitable for soybean sprout processing. The first order kinetic model and Arrhenius equation (activation energy =29.56 kJ/mol) were able to predict the yield of sprout at various storage temperatures and periods.

This paper is concerned with the development of a new method for making and separating ice in-water and saving floated ice by installing an evaporation panel in an ice storage tank. The new method shows very good heat transfer efficiency than that of the convectional method. It is because the evaporation panel is directly contacted with water in the storage tank. The experiments were performed by varying inlet and outlet refrigerant temperatures of its evaporator. From the experimental results, the operating characteristics of in-water harvest-type ice storage system were investigated by measuring temperature and pressure at each point of the ice storage system and power required to operating compressor respect to the changes of the inlet and outlet refrigerant temperature of evaporator. It can be think that defrost frequency decreased and heavy ice created as the refrigerant temperature of evaporator outlet and defrost setting temperature is low so gotten result can effect to release efficiency. Also, consumption power, condensing heat quantity, refrigerating capacity and performance efficiency decreased as time goes by. Therefore, these results provide the basic data for system optimization, performance improvement and the possibility of application to other fields.

Response surface methodology(RSM) was used for monitoring the quality change of muskmelon beverage with storage temperature and time. Muskmelon beverage was prepared with the ratio of liquid fructose($11\%$), muskmelon vinegar($3\%$), concentrated muskmelon juice($1\%$) and refined water($84\%$). To examine physicochemical properties of muskmelon beverage, various factors such as color, brown color intensity and sugar content were determined using physicochemical methods. Physicochemical properties of muskmelon beverage were more affordable with the increased storage temperature. While, organoleptic properties decreased with the increased storage time and temperature. The result of this study indicated that the quality of muskmelon beverage was mostly influenced by the storage temperature. Muskmelon beverage showed the good score under $60^{\circ}C$ as a storage temperature.

Spring sowing of ginseng seeds often results in failure of seedling establishment. Storage condition during winter, sowing time, and seed treatment might effect on germination. Here we tested effects of temperature regimes of seed storage on spring sowing. Dehisced wet or dry ginseng seeds were stored at $2^{\circ}C$, $-2^{\circ}C$, $-3.5^{\circ}C$, or alternating temperature: at $2^{\circ}C$ until December, $-3.5^{\circ}C$ in January, and $2^{\circ}C$ in February, and sowed in March. In overall, emergence rate was dependent on storage temperature, and $-3.5^{\circ}C$ resulted poorest emergence than other conditions. Storage of wet seeds in alternating temperature resulted highest emergence rate. Seed dry also affected on emergence rate, while it was dependent on the storage temperature. In terms of growth, storage at $2^{\circ}C$ as wet seed resulted highest growth, and dried seeds resulted poorer growth than wet seeds. As a modification of alternating temperature, seeds were stored at $2^{\circ}C$ at first, then transferred to $-3.5^{\circ}C$ at Nov 30, Dec 20, and Jan 10, each. When transfer date was delayed, emergence rate was increased. We suggest that seed storage temperature for ginseng should not be decreased below $-2^{\circ}C$, and alternative temperature regime for successful spring sowing could be useful.

The peak demand of electricity in summer season mainly comes from the day time cooling loads. Ice thermal Storage System (ITSS) uses off-peak electricity at night time to make ice for the day time cooling. In order to maximize the use of cold storage in ITSS, the estimation of day time cooling load for the building is necessary. In this study, we present a method of cooling load estimation using 5 years of normalized outdoor temperature, relative humidity, and the building construction data. We applied the hourly-based estimation to a general hospital building with relatively less sudden heat exchange and the results are compared with the measured cooling load of the building. The results show that the cooling loads estimation depends on the indoor cooling design temperature of the building.

The changes in water uptake rate, cooking property, color of rice grain, gelatinization property of milled rice during storage were studied. The water uptake rate constant of milled rice during storage at $4{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ for 3 months decreased, which was more pronounced at elevated storage temperatures. The activation energy of water uptake was different below and above $25^{\circ}C$ of storage temperature. The activation energy after storage for 3 months below and above $25^{\circ}C$ was 608 and 1269 cal/mole, respectively. The rice grain became harder and the cooking time was prolonged by $3{\sim}8$ minutes upon storage. The cooking rate constant was linearly decreased as a function of storage time. The activation energy of cooking after 1 month of storage was 235 cal/mole, which was increased by 1.7 times after storage of 1.5 months and thereafter by 1.2 times with the increase of 0.5 month. There were no significant changes in color of milled rice grains during storage at $4^{\circ}C$, but the increase of b value was observed at higher temperatures. The Initial pasting temperature of rice flour remained essentially unchanged during storage, but the peak viscosity consistently increased with the increase of storage time and temperature. The gelatinization temperature of rice flour by differential scanning calorimetry was not changed but enthalpy of gelatinization was decreased during storage.

The effects of sucrose fatty acid ester (SE, 1% w/w) and glycerin (GL, 1% v/w) additions, storage temperature$(0,\;20\;and\;70^{\circ}C)$, and time $(0{\sim}6\;day)$ on texture properties, hardness(H), cohesiveness(O), chewiness(C) and rheological property(R) of Baikseolgi were studied. The H of Baikseolgi increased sharply in the early stage of storage at 0 and $20^{\circ}C$, while increased gently at $70^{\circ}C$ with increasing storage time. After 6 days of storage, the H of Baikseolgi at $20^{\circ}C$ had a little lower than that at $0^{\circ}C$. However, the H of Baikseolgi at $70^{\circ}C$ was 10.7% of that at $0^{\circ}C$. The addition of GL had greater effect on the reduction of H than that of SE. The H of control, SE and GL additions were 336, 216 and $$174\;g_f, respectively, after 6 days at $70^{\circ}C$. The O of Baikseolgi at $70^{\circ}C$ were higher than those at $0^{\circ}C$. The O of GL added Baikseolgi had the highest value and the second and the third were SE added and control, respectively. The O of Baikseolgi decreased with increasing storage time. The C of Baikseolgi of increased with increasing storage time, which had similar curve patterns to the H of Baikseolgi. Instantaneous stress and equilibrium stress of Baikseolgi decreased with increasing storage temperature. The affection of viscous element increased and that of elastic element decreased with increasing storage temperature.

Over the past four years, as the COVID-19 pandemic has struck the world, cold chain of COVID-19 vaccination has become a hot topic. In order to overcome the pandemic situation, it is necessary to establish a cold chain that maintains a low-temperature environment below approximately 203K (-70℃), which is the appropriate storage temperature for vaccines, from vaccine suppliers to local hospitals. Usually, cryocoolers are used to maintain low temperatures, but it is difficult for small-scale local distribution to have cryocooler due to budget and power supply issues. Accordingly, in this paper, a cryogenic TSU (Thermal storage unit) system for vaccination cold chain is designed that can maintain low temperatures below -70℃C for a long time without using a cryocooler. The performance of the TSU system according to the energy storage material for using as TSU is experimentally evaluated. In the experiments, four types of cold storage materials were used: 20% DMSO aqueous solution, 30% DMSO aqueous solution, paraffin wax, and tofu. Prior to the experiment, the specific heat of the cold storage materials at low temperature were measured. Through this, the thermal diffusivity of the materials was calculated, and paraffin wax had the lowest value. As a result of the TSU system's low-temperature maintenance test, paraffin wax showed the best low-temperature maintenance performance. And it recorded a low-temperature maintenance time that was about 24% longer than other materials. As a result of analyzing the temperature trend by location within the TSU system, it was observed that heat intrusion from the outside was not well transmitted to the low temperature area due to the low thermal conductivity of paraffin wax. Therefore, in the TSU system for vaccine storage, it was experimentally verified that the lower the thermal diffusivity of the cold storage material, the better low temperature maintenance performance.

In order to investigate the changes of rice qualities during 4 years storage of paddy in warehouse of normal temperature condition. As storage period go by, head ratio was deduced and broken rice was increased according as a change of temperature during the long term storage. A color of rice was became more dark gray than that of entering time as L value was decreased from 64.07 to 61.62 a 4 years late. As a results of studies on the cooking quality of milled rice, water uptake ratio and expanded volume were increased in proporation to storage period, wherease total solids and iodine blue value were decreased. In the characteristic of texture of cooked rice, viscosity/hardness ratio(-H/H) had a decreasing tendency, while adhesiveness and cohesiveness increased with increased storage time. The qualities of cooked milled rice studied were sensory attributies of odor, taste, stickiness and appearance which were evaluvated by multiple comparsion method. The sensory results showed that all of descriptions were deterirated with a increased storage period. The taste and stickiness were changed from good score to bad score a 2 years later.
