본 연구에서는 외국 브랜드의 현지성 지각이 개도국 소비자의 브랜드 신뢰와 구매 의도에 미치는 영향을 실증 적으로 검증한다. 본 연구는, 사회정체성이론을 바탕으로, 개도국 시장에서는 브랜드 현지성이 내집단 정체성을 소비자에게 신호함으로써, 소비자의 브랜드 신뢰와 구매 의도를 높일 수 있다고 주장한다. 본 연구는 필리핀 소 비자를 대상으로 수행한 한국과 중국 브랜드에 관한 온라인 조사에서, 브랜드 현지성의 긍정적 효과를 실증적으 로 확인한다. 동시에, 브랜드 현지성 효과가 소비자 세계주의 성향이 낮거나 적대감이 높은 소비자에게서 높게 나타나는 점도 발견한다.

본 연구에서는 채소정식을 위한 정식기에 사용하는 생분해성 포트를 개발하기 위하여 생분해성 첨가제의 비율에 따라 포트의 물성 및 식물의 생장 차이를 구명하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 생분해포트의 주원료는 크라프트지와 신문고지였고, 생분해성 포트는 주 배합비에서 내첨첨가제의 함량을 주원료 대비 각 3%, 5%로 제조하였다. 본 실험에서 8주 육묘 후 포트의 물리적 특성과 첨가제에 따른 변화를 알아보기 위해 포트의 인장강도, 두께, 무게 등을 조사하였다. 생분해성 첨가제가 함유된 포트와 일반 PE포트에 식물 생장도 비교하였다. 2주차에서 5주차에는 매주 배추의 생육조사를 진행했고, 5주차에서 8주차에는 고추생육조사를 진행하였다. 식물의 생장은 뿌리신선중(g), 지상부 시선중(g), 옆 장(cm), 옆 폭(cm)등을 측정하였다. 생분해성 포트에서의 식물 생장은 플라스틱 포트에 비해 생육이 저조하게 나타났다. 생분해성 포트의 무게와 두께는 첨가제 함량에 따라 낮은 상관성을 보였지만, 인장강도의 경우 차이를 보여 내첨제의 비율에 따라 생육에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 첨가제는 무게와 두께에는 영향을 미치지 않아 포트의 생분해 능력에는 영향이 없는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 생분해성 식물 포트 개발의 기초자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

Strawberry is a stand-out cultivating fruit in Korea. The optimum production of strawberry is highly dependent on growing environment. Smart farm technology, and automatic monitoring and control system maintain a favorable environment for strawberry growth in greenhouses, as well as play an important role to improve production. Moreover, physiological parameters of strawberry plant and it is surrounding environment may allow to give an idea on production of strawberry. Therefore, this study intends to build a machine learning model to predict strawberry’s yield, cultivated in greenhouse. The environmental parameter like as temperature, humidity and CO2 and physiological parameters such as length of leaves, number of flowers and fruits and chlorophyll content of ‘Seolhyang’ (widely growing strawberry cultivar in Korea) were collected from three strawberry greenhouses located in Sacheon of Gyeongsangnam-do during the period of 2019-2020. A predictive model, Lasso regression was designed and validated through 5-fold cross-validation. The current study found that performance of the Lasso regression model is good to predict the number of flowers and fruits, when the MAPE value are 0.511 and 0.488, respectively during the model validation. Overall, the present study demonstrates that using AI based regression model may be convenient for farms and agricultural companies to predict yield of crops with fewer input attributes.

This paper studies the flow characteristics inside the low-temperature carbonization(LTF) including sealing chamber with labyrinth. The flow behavior inside the furnace was analyzed according to different labyrinth shapes. The effects of labyrinth baffle number, and clearance between upper and lower baffles in the sealing chamber were investigated. The large vortex and stagnation region are generated in the chamber when the gap between the baffle and baffle is small. As a result, the gas discharge flow rate can be increased by 29.4% when the flow space of labyrinth is made 75% of the baffle length.

The oriental plum (Prunus salicina) is one of the most popular fruits in Korea due to its sweet taste and pleasant aroma. The objective of this study was to analyze the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of a puree made using plums stored at low-temperatures. The quality characteristics were determined by estimating total soluble solids (TSS, °Brix), titratable acidity (TA, % citric acid), TSS/TA ratio, pH, colors, sugar content, and sensory profiles. The antioxidant effects were estimated by total polyphenol and flavonoid content and radical scavenging activity. The results showed that the plum puree containing both the flesh and the peel had markedly higher red coloration (a* value) than the puree without the peel, while yellow coloration (b* value) and lightness (L* value) were lower in the puree without the peel than with the peel. The sensory qualities including the plum taste and flavor, texture as well as overall acceptance showed no significant variation between the samples. Meanwhile, the total polyphenol/flavonoid content and radical scavenging activities were significantly improved by the presence of fruit peel and by frozen storage. These findings suggest that frozen plums could be a suitable ingredient for making a puree and concentrate for the food manufacturing industry.

This study investigated the substitution effect of phosphate and isolated soybean powder (ISP) by Allomyrina dichotoma larvae powder (AP) in emulsion sausage. The sausages were prepared for five treatments: 1) positive control (PC): sausages manufactured with sodium pyrophosphate (0.3%) and ISP (1%); 2) negative control (NC): sausages manufactured without sodium pyrophosphate, and ISP; 3) phosphate replacement (PR): sausages manufactured with ISP and AP (1%); 4) ISP replacement (IR): sausages manufactured with sodium pyrophosphate and AP; 5) phosphate and ISP replacement (PIR): sausages manufactured with AP. The 1% AP extract showed DPPH radical scavenging (45.65±2.468%) and metal chelating (22.46±3.559%) activity. The high pH value of AP (8.03) increased the pH of the meat batter of PR, IR, and PIR (p<0.05), but there was no inhibitory effect on cooking loss. Cooking loss of IR was not significantly different with PC due to phosphate. The addition of AP decreased the L* and a* values and increased the b* values, and decreased hardness, chewiness, and springiness of PR, IR, and PIR (p<0.05). AP did not inhibit lipid oxidation in sausages, in contrast to phosphate. In sensory evaluation, the addition of AP resulted in low scores for all sensory parameters of the sausages, although most panels had normal or positive awareness (p<0.05). Aroma was more influential on samples than color. Overall, AP did not replace phosphate and ISP in the sausages. Therefore, processes such as eliminating unique aroma and color and increasing solubility through particle size control are necessary to use AP as a protein source.

본 연구는 개정된 소 도체 등급판정 세부기준이 개정 목표에 부합되는지를 평가하기 위해 실시되었다. 본 연구에서는 기초 데이터를 바탕으로 데이터의 분포를 도출하고, 도출된 분포를 바탕으로 미래 데이터를 추출하여 이를 분석하는 몬테카를로(Monte Carlo) 방법론을 활용하였다. 축산물품 질평가원의 2019년 1월 2일부터 2019년 5월 31일까지 등급판정을 받은 한우 거세 비육우의 도체정보(n=187,279)를 이용하여 각 도체성적의 분포와 상관관계를 도출하였다. @risk 소프트웨어를 이용하여 10만 개의 가상 도체 데이터를 Latin hypercube 방법으로 추출하여 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 실시하고, 각 변수들이 육량지수, 육량등급, 육질등급에 미치는 영향력을 평가하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 육량지수는 현행 등급판정 기준과 개정된 기준에서 모두 도체중량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 각 변수들에 대한 민감도는 두 기준이 유사하였다. 개정된 기준에서는 도축월령이 증가함에 따라 그 정도는 미미하지만 육량지수 및 육량등급이 저하되는 것으로 나타났다(P < 0.001). 현행 등급판정 기준에서는 그 밖의 도체성적이 동일할 때, 육질등급은 배최장근단면적과 도축월령이 증가할수록 개선되고(P < 0.01), 등지방두께와 도체중량은 육질등급에 유의적인 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 개정된 등급판정 기준에서는 육질등급이 모든 도체성적 및 도축월령과 유의적인 관계를 갖는데(P < 0.01), 그 밖의 도체성적이 동일하다면, 도체중량이 클수록, 등지방두께가 얇을수록, 배최장근단면적이 적을수록, 도축월령이 적을수록 육질등급이 개선되는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 새로운 ‘소 도체 등급판정 세부기준’은 도체중량의 증가에 따라 육량등급을 증가시키는 것은 아니나, 현행 기준에 비해 한우의 사육기간을 단축시키는 효과는 클 것으로 기대된다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the quality properties of sausages added with the atmospheric pressure plasma treated extract of Perilla frutescens Britton var. acuta Kudo (red perilla). The lyophilized powder of red perilla extract treated by atmospheric-pressure plasma contained 7.5 g kg-1 nitrite. Sausage samples were manufactured with the addition of sodium nitrite (Control), celery powder (Celery), or plasma-treated extract of red perilla (PTP) to obtain nitrite concentration of 70 mg kg-1. The residual nitrite content was the lowest in PTP during storage for 21 days at 4℃ (p<0.05). The total aerobic bacteria counts were higher in PTP than in Control and Celery during storage at 4℃ (p<0.05). Malondialdehyde content of sausages was significantly lower in PTP than in Control and Celery during storage (p<0.05). PTP showed the lowest L* value and the highest b* value among the tested sausage samples during storage (p<0.05). PTP received the low scores in all the sensory properties of sausages because of its inherent color and flavor. The results suggested that the plasma-treated extract of red perilla was an unsuitable natural nitrite source for cured meat products because of its adverse effect on sensory quality. However, natural nitrite source with increased nitrite content can be produced by the treatment of the natural plant extract with atmosphericpressure plasma.

Recently, redevelopment and reconstruction projects have caused problems such as depletion of natural aggregates, and the use of recycled aggregate is being reevaluated as an optimal alternative. Therefore, in this study, the mechanical and deformation characteristics of Environment-Friendly Recycled Coarse Aggregate (here after, EFRCA) concrete reinforced with para-aramid fiber with high strength and high elasticity are examined. The experimental main parameters were EFRCA replacement ratio (0, 30 and 50%) and para-aramid fiber volume fraction (0, 0.75 and 1.0%). Experimental results show that the EFRCA concrete has lower compressive strength than plain concrete. However, compared with the natural aggregate, the EFRCA concrete, which exhibited low material properties, showed almost the same performance as plain concrete, such as increased flexural strength and improved ductility by incorporating para-aramid fibers. Through the experiment, it is considered that the most suitable para-aramid volume fraction is 0.75%. Based on these results, the experimental results related to the performance degradation of EFRCA concrete containing para-aramid fibers are secured and basic data for determining the reuse possibility and reinforcement method of structures are presented.

Mill scale, an iron waste, was used to separate magnetite particles for the adsorption of phosphate from aqueous solution. Mill scale has a layered structure composed of wustite (FeO), magnetite (Fe3O4), and hematite (Fe2O3). Because magnetite shows the highest magnetic property among these iron oxides, it can be easily separated from the crushed mill scale particles. Several techniques were employed to characterize the separated particles. Mill scale-derived magnetite particles exhibited a strong uptake affinity to phosphate in a wide pH range of 3-7, with the maximum adsorptive removal of 100%, at the dosage of 1 g/L, pH 3-5. Langmuir isotherm model well described the equilibrium data, exhibiting maximum adsorption capacities for phosphate up to 4.95 and 8.79 mg/g at 298 and 308 K, respectively. From continuous operation of the packed-bed column reactor operated with different EBCT (empty bed contact time) and adsorbent particle size, the breakthrough of phosphate started after 8-22 days of operation. After regeneration of the column reactor with 0.1N NaOH solution, 95-98% of adsorbed phosphate could be detached from the column reactor.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of various feeds on body length, width, and weight, and larval mortality of white-spotted flower chafer (Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis Kolbe). The feeds , aloe, apple, banana, persimmon and sweet pumpkin were tested to measure the developmental parameters. The result showed that no any significant effect of feeds on the larval weight in the early. However, as larva get matured, the effects of feeds on the developmental parameters were found significantly varied. Weight of larvae, cumulative increase on body length and width, and body weight were also found increase in case of apple feeding. Lowest increment of developmental parameters were reported in banana feeding. Highest mortality (11.2%) was occurred in aloe, banana, persimmon and sweet pumpkin feeding. Lowest mortality (9.9%) rate was observed in apple. Feeds such as apple, sweet pumpkin, and aloe can be used as a optimum diet for mass rearing of P. brevitarsis seulensis in laboratory.
