In this study, a nanatural fermentation starter formulation was developed for manufacturing bread products by substituting baker's yeast with naturally fermented raisin extract and sourdough. Four experimental groups containing 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10% naturally fermented raisin extract per 2,000 g of flour were compared based on quality characteristics, including the fermentation power on dough expansion, specific volume, baking loss, water activity, color, textural characteristics, and internal surface appearance. The activities of the naturally fermented raisin extract were examined in terms of pH changes, total titratable acidity, brix, and viable yeast counts. The raisin extract, which was cultured for 7 days at 30$^{\circ}C$, smelled of alcohol and produced $CO_2$. Yeast were also found in the extract after separation. As the incubation time of the raisin extract and sourdough increased, pH decreased, while total titratable acidity increased. The brix of the raisin extract increased until the $2^{nd}$ day of fermentation, and viable yeast counts increased until the $5^{th}$ day however, these gradually decreased by the $7^{th}$ day. The fermenting power on dough expansion increased in the bread with increasing incubation time. The bread samples containing 7.5% and 10% raisin extract had significantly higher specific volumes than the other samples. Baking loss was minimal with the 2.5% extract substitution. In analyzing the crumb, water activity, redness, and yellowness were highest in the 10.0% raisin extract bread samples, and lightness was maximal in the 5.0% group. In terms of textural characteristics, hardness was lowest with the 2.5% extract substitution. Gumminess, springiness, and chewiness were not significantly different among the bread samples. Cohesiveness was highest at the 7.5% extract substitution level, and resilience was lowest at the 10% level. In conclusion, based on the results, a natural fermentation starter formulated with 2.5% naturally fermented raisin extract (1 part raisins and 1.5 parts water) and 70% sourdough (1 part rye flour and 1 part water) has high potential as a baker's yeast substitute for making naturally fermented bread.

A new condensation process for manufacturing N-acyl taurates which generates less pollutant and produces more than 60 % yield in comparison with the conventional process has been developed in this work. Its optimum process conditions are at $210{\sim}230^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature and 6 ~ 9 hour of reaction time when Parasol 123 of petroleum refired oil is employed as process solvent and mixed catalysts of sulfonic acid and phosphoric acid are utilized as process catalyst. And the qualities of N-acyl taurates produced by this new process are similar to or better than those of imported product judging from their acid value, amine value and color. Thus, it can be said that the newly developed process for manufacturing N-acyl taurates in this work is better than the conventional process. The physical properties of N-acyl taurates produced in this work such as surface tension, foaming power, foaming stability, hard water stability, and emulsifying power etc. were compared with those of commercially available anionic surfactants. And the experimental results show that N-acyl taurates shows good physical properties and that they can be alternative to conventional anionic surfactants.

Different packaging methods and storage temperatures were tested to determine the storage stability of beef dry-aged for 21 days based on microbial, physicochemical, and sensory qualities. After completion of the dry aging, the dried surface of beef sirloin was trimmed off, and the beef was packaged using two different methods (oxygen-permeable wrap or vacuum packaging) and stored at different temperatures ($3{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ or $-23{\pm}2^{\circ}C$) for 0, 7, 14, or 21 days. Lipid oxidation and the sensory quality of the dry-aged beef were not affected by the packaging method and storage temperature during storage. No microbial growth was observed over the storage period in the vacuum-packaged dry-aged beef, regardless of the storage temperature. However, dry-aged beef in the oxygen-permeable wrap packaging showed microbial spoilage with 8.82 log CFU / g at day 7 of the refrigerated storage. The vacuum-packaged dry-aged beef showed the lowest values (p < 0.05) in $a^*$ and chroma at days 14 and 21 at $3^{\circ}C$, and days 7 and 14 at $-23^{\circ}C$, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended that dry-aged beef with wrap packaging stored in refrigerated conditions should be consumed as quickly as possible due to microbial growth. For long-term storage, dry-aged beef should be frozen because freezing can extend the color stability up to day 21 of storage without adverse effects on the hygienic or meat quality aspects of dry-aged beef.

The Korea Institute of Oriental White Stork Rehabilitation Research (KIOWSRR) is breeding oriental white storks for residential rehabilitation in South Korea. Three oriental white storks were referred with anorexia and depression. Two storks were died before examinations and one stork was died after 1 day of fluid therapy. On necropsy, salmon-colored subcutaneous and visceral fats were examined in all storks. Multiple focal necroses on liver surface were also examined. In gizzards, many gravels and grasses were severely tangled; therefore, it produced a large mass that blocked digestive system of the storks. Small intestinal segments of the stork, which was dead after the fluid therapy, were severely adhesive. On histopathology, diffuse necroses with/without inflammation were examined in the liver, gizzard and intestine in all storks. Bile stasis was additionally examined in the liver. According to the results of the examinations, all storks were diagnosed as gizzard impaction caused by parorexia.

This study was conducted to investigate the change in quality attributes of fresh-cut potatoes with heat and browning inhibitor treatment (CW: dip in the cold water for 30 sec at $4^{\circ}C$, HW: dip in the water for 60 sec at $55^{\circ}C$, AA: dip in the 0.1% solution of ascorbic acid for 60 sec at $4^{\circ}C$, HA: dip in the 0.1% solution of ascorbic acid for 60 sec at $55^{\circ}C$) during storage at $5^{\circ}C$. During storage, fresh-cut potatoes treated with HA showed the lowest value in surface color. PPO and PAL activities of fresh-cut potatoes treated with HA were gradually increased during storage. Hardness, weight loss, soluble solids content and moisture content had no significant difference between the treatments. In sensory acceptance, fresh-cut potatoes treated for HA marked the best quality. Conclusively, heat and browning inhibitor treatment showed the positive effect on browning inhibition while maintaining the quality of fresh-cut potatoes.

In order to compare physicochemical properties of aqueous extract in 3 beans (small red bean, mung bean, black soybean), proximate composition, free sugars, free amino acids, minerals, absorbance and surface refractance color were investigated. Regardless of raw materials composition, the 3 beans extracts had similar proximate compositions. Free sugar analysis showed that fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, raffinose and stachyose were varied among the extracts. Raffinose and stachyose were the major sugar and fructose was measured only in black soybean and glucose was merely found in small red bean. Seventeen free amino acids in beans extract were analysed in the extracts. Among the free amino acids, arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and serine were the main amino acids. Black soybean extract had maximum absorbance at 460 nm and 540 nm. L value of black soybean extract was lower than those of small red bean and mung bean.

To investigate pertinent packaging treatment of fresh-cut potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), potato cubes were subjected to passive, gas exchange, and vacuum packaging conditions. Low density polyethylene film (LDPE), polypropylene film (PP), anti-fogging film (AP), and perforated film (PF) were used as passive packaging treatments. Mixed gases of 5% $CO_2/5%\;O_2$ (MA1) and 10% $CO_2/5%\;O_2$ (MA2) were applied as gas exchange packaging. Packs filled with cubes were kept at $5^{\circ}C$, and changes in weight loss, surface color, vitamin C content and sensory quality of cubes were analyzed during storage. Respiration rate of cubes was 2.11 times higher than that of intact raw potatoes at $5^{\circ}C$. Gas concentrations in passive packaging was maintained at 1-2% $O_2$ and 4-14% $CO_2$ after 7 days. Gas levels changed depending on films used. Cubes packed in PP and MA2 showed lowest weight loss and browning during storage. Firmness of cubes was not affected by packaging treatment. Vitamin C content was highest in cubes packed with AF. Cubes packed in MA2 showed highest quality upto 10days storage, followed by those packed in PP and AF.

Optical properties were studied at the fishing ground of anchovy in the southern part of Korea based on seven oceanographic stations from May to August and November to December, 1977. Submarine daylight intensity was measured at intervals of 1m depth in the upper 30 m layer by the underwater luxmeter (Toshiba # 9). The absorption coefficient of the sea water ranged from 0.066 to 0.619 (mean 0.21) for six months. The transparency ranged from 2.6 to 16 meters (mean 8.4m). The relationship between absorption coefficient (n) and transparency (D) was k=1.70/D. The mean water color in this area was 4.8 $(3\~10)$ in Forel scales. The rates of light penetration for daylight at four different depths were computed with reference to the surface light intensity. The mean rates of light penetration were $69.38\%(25.43\~88.10\%),\;30.35\%\;(4.38\~59.46\%),\;12.53\%\;(0.75\~33.51\%),\;5.7\%(0.18\~20.27\%)$ at depths of 1, 5, 10 and 15 m respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate the influences of hydrocolloids on suppression of retrogradation in the Korean rice cake. Hydrocolloids were influenced to the textural characteristics of the Korean rice cake. In particular arabic gum and carrageenan had the effect of suppressing the retrogradation. Cohesiveness of the Korean rice cake added with hydrocolloids was shown to be high compared to control in organoleptic characteristics. Hydrocolloids exhibited slightly effective in retarding surface color change of the Korean rice cake. Onset temperature of gelatinization in thermal characteristics showed somewhat low in case of addition of arabic gum into the Korean rice cake and was followed by carrageenan, guar gum, gelatin and locust bean gum in onset temperature of gelatinization order. All samples added with hydrocolloids had low values in change of melting enthalphy and their range was 12.8 ∼ 17.7 J/g. The Korean rice cake added with arabic gum was lowest in melting enthalphy. The recrystallinity of the Korean rice cake added with arabic gum was greatly low compared to rice cake without hydrocolloids. Melting spreadability of the Korean rice cake added with arabic gum or carrageenan was superior in thermal characteristics. The value of exponent of Avrami was 0.97 ∼ 1.12 in study of Avrami equation. In conclusion carrageenan and arabic gum would have a suppressive effect of retrogradation in the Korean rice cake.
