This study was performed to test the feasibility of thermophilic (55oC) co-digestion of municipal sewage sludge and food wastes. The management variables of co-digestion were the mixed ratios of municipal sewage sludge and food waste hydraulic retention times (HRTs). During the operation of thermophilic co-digestion, the reactor pH ranged from 7.0 to 7.5 and the reactor alkalinity remained above 3,200 to 4,000 mg/L as CaCO3. The volatile fatty acids concentration increased as the HRT shortened from 20 days to 10 days and the mixture ratio increased to 1:4, but did not reach toxic levels for co-digestion of sewage sludge and food wastes. Methane productivity increased gradually as the organic loading rate increased. Maximum methane productivity reached 1.03v/v-d at an HRT of 10 days and at the mixture ratio of 1:4. The TVS removal efficiency decreased from 70.6% to 58.3% as the HRT shortened from 20 days to 10 days. TVS removal efficiency ranged from 57.0% to 77% during the entire operation. It is likely that thermophilic co-digestion of sewage sludge and food wastes is a very effective method both to environmentally treat food waste and to economically produce gas for energy.

The objective of this study is to analyze the factors increased use of environmentalfriendly agricultural product in school food service. For this, I surveyed the perceptions on environmental-friendly agricultural product and willingness-to-pay for increasing use to 500 parents of elementary, middle and high school. As a result, the perception of environment and safety is the highest, but health and consumption is the lowest. The average of willingness-to-pay is about 12,136 Won per month. But 14.2 percent of the total respondents said that they did not have a willingness-to-pay, and 62.6 percent said that they would pay an additional 10,000 won or less. The factors affecting the willingness-to-pay were gender, income, health and consumption factors. Despite the low level of parents’ perception of the health and consumption factors for environmental-friendly agricultural products, health and consumption factors affect statistically significant on the willingness-to-pay compared to others. Most of the promotion and education of environmental-friendly agricultural products has focused on safety, but this study suggests that education on the health and correct consumption of environmental-friendly agricultural products is important.

Livestock manure treatments have become a more serious problem because massive environmental pollutions such as green and red tides caused by non-point pollution sources from livestock manures have emerged as a serious social issue. In addition, more food wastes are being produced due to population growth and increased income level. Since the London Convention has banned the ocean dumping of wastes, some other waste treatment methods for land disposal had to be developed and applied. At the same time, researches have been conducted to develop alternative energy sources from various types of wastes. As a result, anaerobic digestion as a waste treatment method has become an attractive solution. In this study has three objectives: first, to identify the physical properties of the mixture of livestock wastewater and food waste when combining food waste treatment with the conventional livestock manure treatment based on anaerobic mesophilic digestion; second, to find the ideal ratio of waste mixture that could maximize the collection efficiency of methane (CH4) from the anaerobic digestion process; and third, to promote CH4 production by comparing the biodegradability. As a result of comparing the reactors R1, R2, and R3, each containing a mixture of food waste and livestock manure at the ratio of 5:5, 7:3, and 3:7, respectively, R2 showed the optimum treatment efficiencies for the removal of Total Solids (TS) and Volatile Solids (VS), CH4 production, and biodegradability.

This study aimed to analyze socioeconomic effect of eco-friendly free school food supply system by Seoul, which has been consistently extended since 2011. To do so, effect of eco-friendly free school food supply system on the beneficiaries, Seoul citizens, was analyzed by using ‘labor & income panel’, while that on rural society was analyzed by using the surveys on the eco-friendly agricultural product supply performance by the ‘Eco-friendly Agricultural Products Retail Center’ as well as for students, school parents, nutrition teachers and nutritionists. The results of analysis showed that eco-friendly school food supply system contributes to income redistribution among the Seoul citizens to a certain extent, provides the eco-friendly agricultural product producers in the rural society with the stable market, and positively influences them to secure stable incomes. In addition, eco-friendly free school food reduced the amount of carbon emissions through the use of environmentally friendly agricultural products resulting in environmental improvements and economic benefits. Considering such effects, free school food supply using the eco-friendly agricultural products needs to be consistently maintained in the future without politic change by political ideology and to be extended to middle school level in medium and short-term.

본 연구에서는 음식물류폐기물 종량제 방식 중에 하나인 RFID(Radio frequency identification, 이하 RFID)기반 음식물류폐기물 관리시스템 중 개별계량방식을 사용하고 있는 공동주택의 음식물류폐기물 배출량을 조사하여 원단위를 파악하고자 본 시스템을 사용하고 있는 2년 이상 된 아파트 3곳을 조사하여 원단위를 분석하엿다. 그 결과, 아파트 2년간 1인당 1일 평균 원단위 발생량은 2016년에서 0.140kg/인/일, 2017년에 0.134kg/인/일로 산출되었으며, 2년 평균은 0.137kg/인/일로 나타났다. 계절별로는 봄<겨울<가을<여름의 순을 보였으며, 1년차보다 2년 차에 더 적은 원단위를 나타내었다. 가구원수가 적을수록 원단위가 높아지는 경향을 나타내었으며, 공급면적이 작을수록 높은 원단위를 보였다. 지금까지 생활수준이 높으면 발생량이 높다는 것과는 반대의 결과이며, 역으로 전술한 것과 같이 1인가구 등에서 발생량이 증가하는 경향과 같다. 본 결과 값들은 RFID 시스템에 기록된 2년간의 실질 데이터를 조사 및 분석한 신뢰성이 높은 데이터로서 향후 음식물류폐기물 정책 수립 시 유용한 기초자료로서 활용되기를 기대한다.

국제적으로 런던협약에 의하여 2013년 이후 음폐수의 해양 투기가 금지되어 육상에서의 처리가 시급한 실정이다. 이에 따라 국내외에서 유기성 폐기물의 혐기성 소화를 통한 부피 저감과 에너지화에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 이에 대하여 독일 등 유럽국가와 중국 등이 유기성 폐기물을 이용한 혐기성 소화가 활발히 진행되어오고 있으며, 해외의 혐기성 공법으로 Dranco, Valorga, SEBAC, Schwarting 공법 등이 있다. 국내에는 이러한 공법을 기반으로 한 혐기성 소화시설이 적용되어 가동 중에 있으나 해외의 인정받은 공법 임에도 국내에 적용된 시설에서의 운전상의 미숙 문제나 유기성 폐기물 성상 차이에 의한 소화 효율의 저하 및 가동 중지 등 운전상에 문제가 발생하고 있어 국내 음폐수 특성에 맞는 공법과 운전 방법에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 음폐수의 처리에 대한 방안 마련을 위하여 혐기성 소화 공법 중 독일의 Schwarting 공법을 응용하였다. 기존 다공판이 설치된 내부 구조에 층 분리 효과를 더 강화하여 혐기성 소화를 촉진하고자 다공판을 추가하여 이중으로 엇갈린 다공판이 설치된 소화조를 설계하여 비교하는 실험을 진행하였다. 실험에 사용된 시료는 D시에서 발생되는 음폐수를 대상으로 하였으며, 혐기성 미생물의 식종은 D시의 혐기성 소화조의 미생물을 활용하여 독일의 Schwarting 공법이 응용된 공법의 효율성을 검토하고자 하였다.

가죽 제조 산업의 현황을 살펴보면 가공에 사용되는 원료피의 50%가 폐기물로 발생되어 진다. 가죽 원료에서 많은 부분이 폐기물로 발생하기 때문에 해당 공정의 폐기물 처리와 함께 자원으로서의 활용적 측면이 함께 고려되어야한다. 하지만 현재 대부분의 피혁폐기물은 주로 매립과 소각 방법으로 처리되고 있어 보다 지속가능하고 환경 친화적인 처리 방법이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에 사용된 피혁폐기물은 가죽 제조 공정 중 탈모공정(Liming) 후에 발생하는 Pelt scrap으로, 주성분이 지질과 단백질로 구성되어 있어 혐기성 소화를 통한 처리 시 효율적인 메탄 생성 기질로 사용될 수 있다. 다만, 피혁폐기물은 pH와 C/N 비가 높아 혐기성 소화 시 메탄 생성 과정에 저해를 줄 수 있어 이에 대한 조절이 필요하다. 일반적으로 피혁폐기물의 pH는 12 부근으로 알려져 있으며, 혐기성소화 공정에서 기질의 pH가 6이하 또는 8.5이상인 경우 메탄 생성에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이에 효율적인 피혁폐기물 처리와 메탄가스 생산을 위해서는 기질의 pH 조절이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 피혁폐기물의 높은 pH를 혐기성소화에 알맞은 중성으로 조절해주기 위해 pH가 낮으면서 생분해도가 높은 음폐수를 통합 기질로 사용해 혐기성소화를 실시하였다. 실험에 사용된 피혁폐기물과 음폐수의 pH는 각각 12.4와 4.2였으며, 이를 VS기준 0.13:0.87의 비율로 혼합하여 혼합기질의 pH를 7.7로 만들었다. 250mL serum bottle에 하수슬러지 100mL를 식종하고 기질 1g VS를 주입하였고 35℃, 150rpm으로 유지되는 항온교반기에서 진행하였다. 기질 pH 조절에 의한 소화 성능 확인을 위해 피혁폐기물과 음폐수 단독소화를 실시하고, 이를 pH 7로 조절한 통합소화 조건과 비교하였다. 이때 소화성능은 유기물 감량과 바이오가스 생산량 및 메탄함량을 통해 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 단독 소화와 비교해 기질의 pH를 조절해 통합소화에서 바이오가스 생산량과 메탄 함량이 증대되는 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로 혐기성소화 시 기질 혼합을 통한 중성 pH 조성은 바이오가스 생산량과 메탄 함량의 증가에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다.

가죽제품 제조 산업으로부터 발생되는 피혁폐기물의 양은 투입되는 원료 가죽의 약 50%를 차지하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이들 피혁폐기물은 적절한 처리 방법이 개발되지 않아 대부분 매립이나 소각을 통해 처리되고 있다. 특히, 매립이나 소각을 통한 처리는 단가가 높아 관련 산업의 경제성을 악화시키고 고형폐기물의 친환경적 처리 관점에서 문제점이 제기되고 있는 실정이다. 최근 화석연료를 대체하기 위한 신규에너지원의 중요성이 높아짐에 따라, 폐기물을 이용한 에너지화에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 피혁폐기물은 주로 단백질과 지질로 구성되어 있는 특성으로 인해 혐기성소화를 통한 바이오가스 생산이 가능한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 일반적으로 알려져 있는 혐기성소화 공정의 최적 C/N 비 (20-30)를 고려할 때, 피혁폐기물의 높은 C/N비 (약 35)는 공정의 제한요소가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 피혁폐기물과 음폐수를 통합하여 혐기성소화를 실시함으로써 기질의 C/N 비 조절이 혐기성소화 효율에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 기질의 C/N 비 조절을 통한 혐기성소화 효율의 변화는 BMP (Biochemical methane potential) test를 약 40일간 진행하였으며, 바이오가스 발생량을 비교하였다. 실험은 경기도 동두천시에 위치한 가죽제품 제조업체로부터 수거된 pelt scrap과 양주시에 위치한 음식물쓰레기 자원화시설에서 발생되는 음폐수를 각각 채취하여 사용하였다. 개별 기질의 C/N 비는 피혁폐기물이 34.1, 음폐수가 13.5로 확인되었으며, 이들의 무게에 따른 혼합비를 조절하여 통합 혐기성소화 기질의 C/N 비를 20, 25, 30으로 맞춰 실험을 진행하였다. 실험결과 기질을 통합하여 C/N 비를 조절한 소화 조건에서 개별 기질의 단독소화 조건보다 많은 바이오가스 생산량이 관찰되었으며, C/N 비 20에서 바이오가스 생산량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 통합 기질의 C/N 비 조절효과와 함께 피혁폐기물에 비해 생분해도가 높은 음폐수 함량이 기질의 C/N 비가 낮을수록 더 많이 포함되었기 때문으로 판단된다.

Background : Schisandrae Fructus (Omija) has been widely used for medicinal herbs because it is known for its various medical functions and antimicrobial activities. This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial activities of extracts from Schisandrae Fructus against six foodborne pathogens (Bacillus cereus, E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus) and figured out the efficient extraction methods. Methods and Results : Traditionally, Schisandrae Fructus is soaked or boiled in water when people drink it like tea. In this study, we extracted Schisandrae Fructus by soaking in water and ethyl alcohol for 24 hours, ultrasonicating in methyl alcohol and water for 60 minutes, and boiling in water for 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes. Each extract used for paper disc test that estimates antimicrobial activities by measuring the inhibition zone. The blank discs that absorbed with extracts were placed on the agar plates that smeared with each foodborne pathogen, then incubated overnight at 37℃ incubator. Then, antibacterial extracts formed clear zones around the disc. In this study, Vibrio parahaemolyticus was the most sensitive to the all kinds of extracts and methyl alcohol extracts that were obtained by ultrasonicating showed the most strong antimicrobial activities against six foodborne pathogens (23, 12, 29, 18, 23, 28 ㎜). Hot water extracts and soaking extracts in water showed the similar results, and the extracts that was boiled for 60 minutes was the best results (13, 8, 21, 10, 13, 17 ㎜) against all the pathogens. Conclusion : The extracts from Schisandrae Fructus inhibited the growth of six foodborne pathogens. Soaking and boiling in water are good methods for drinking Schisandrae Fructus like tea because they showed antimicrobial activities in the paper disc test. According to this study, the best boiling time for effective antimicrobial activity is 60 minutes.

In accordance with the 1996 London Protocol, the marine dumping of wastewater generated from food was totally banned from 2013. Therefore, establishing a food wastewater bio-gasification facility for stable and continuous food wastewater treatment is necessary. The biogas produced from the wastewater can be used as fuel for electricity generation or for heating in power plants and can be sold as gas in cities as well as fuel for vehicles after undergoing a refining process. Thus, the South Korean government is trying to expand the bio-gasification facility of wastewater generated from food. In this study, we try to obtain information about the public value of such an expansion. For this purpose, the household willingness to pay (WTP) for the expansion is determined by applying the contingent valuation (CV) approach. A total of 1,000 South Korean households were involved in the CV survey, which had questions with dichotomous choices. The mean yearly public value WTP for expansion is estimated at 2,564 KRW per household. If this WTP is extrapolated from the sample to the nation’s population, the expansion in the national value is worth 50.1 billion KRW per year. These results indicate that the expansion of food wastewater bio-gasification facility is supported by Korean households.

The cultivation area of rice as staple grains is decreasing in the domestic situation in Korea. Import volume of a duty in foreign rice is 409,000 tons for a year regardless increasing of production per unit area and decreasing of rice consumption. The total stock of rice is increasing cumulatively despite the effort for production mediation of rice. Therefore, maintenance of cultivation area and reduction of production are necessary for national foodstuffs security problems. Development of environment-friendly and low-carbon technology as alternative of global warming and aging of farm labor power is very important responsibility for descendants with creation of sustainable agriculture environment. As alternative for demand and supply stabilization of rice from all angles, first stage: extension of environment-friendly cultivation area as 17% Jeollanam-do level with maintenance of cultivation area under the present circumstances, second stage: extension of environment-friendly cultivation area as 25%, third stage: extension of environmentfriendly cultivation area as 35%. From above mentioned scenario, reduction of rice production (60,000 tons), increases of production cost (59,200,000,000 Won), and reduction of income (201,500,000,000 Won) are estimated in first stage. Reduction of rice production (90,000 tons), increases of production cost (122,100,000,000 Won), and reduction of income (313,700,000,000 Won) are estimated in second stage. Reduction of rice production (380,000 tons), increases of production cost (222,000,000,000 Won), and reduction of income (464,500,000,000 Won) are estimated in third stage. From analysis results for partial tillage in transplanting cultivation complex (10ha), rice production is decreased 1.3~1.5 ton by complex. Production cost of rice is decreased and increases of income cultivation type. Gradual extension of environment-friendly agriculture and low-carbon partial tillage could be expected for environment maintenance of the territorial integrity, confidence of consumer, and high-efficiency of low-cost.

In this study, a lab-scale experiment was conducted to derive the optimal torrefaction conditions for upscaling food waste torrefaction to generate solid fuel. Basic characteristic analyses (a proximate analysis, elemental analysis, calorific value and thermogravimetric analysis) were conducted and further used to develop experimental conditions during upscaling. Based on the characteristics analysis, the experiments were conducted by varying the heating rates by 5, 10 and 15oC/min, varying the torrefaction temperature from 200 to 550oC at an interval of 50oC and varying the torrefaction residence time from 0 to 50 minutes at an interval of 10 minutes. The heating rates were varied and only carried out for the combustion experiments of the torrefied product at a temperature range of 50 to 800oC. The results show that the optimal torrefaction temperature and residence time of food waste torrefaction were 250 ~ 350oC and 30 ~ 40 minutes, respectively.

Purpose – This research examines the short-run and long-run effect of external shocks (oil price and exchange rate) on domestic food price in Indonesia. Research design, data, and methodology – Three variables are used in this research. The variables are food price index, Rupiah’s exchange rate of Indonesia, and crude oil price from 1998 until 2015 using Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Results - The increasing of oil price and the depreciation of Rupiah’s rate push the domestic food price in long-run, but do not impact significantly in short- term . The response of food price to oil prices shock and exchange rate shock are positive and persistent throughout the entire sample period. The exchange rate and oil price shocks have a small proportion explaining for the fluctuations of food price index but increasing over time. Conclusions - The policymaker should concern on solving the problem of oil price increase and depreciation of exchange rate on Indonesia’s food price as they are important factors that can affect the price stability. The government should not rely on food imports because the price is strongly influenced by the movements in the exchange rate.

Biogas is a gaseous mixture produced from the microbial digestion of organic materials in the absence of oxygen. Raw biogas, depending upon organic materials, digestion time and process conditions, contains about 45 ~ 75% methane, 30 ~ 50% carbon dioxide, 0.1% hydrogen sulfide gas, and a fractional percentage of water vapor. To achieve the standard composition of the biogas, treatment techniques like absorption or membrane separation are performed for the resourcing of biogas. In this paper, the experiments are performed using biogas produced in an environmental digestion facility for food waste. The membrane module was imported from overseas, its membrane process has achieved up to 98% of the methane and 99% of the carbon dioxide separated, and it has manufactured and stored pressurized carbon dioxide. The effects of the feed pressures on the separation of CO2-CH4 by the membrane are investigated. A chelate was utilized to purify the methane from the H2S concentration of 0.1%.

As Korean food service franchise companies sought to advance into around 2,000 new foreign markets, the importance of global management was emphasized. They intensively expanded into Chinese and American markets in 2015 and these two markets account for approximately 40% of total food service franchise companies in foreign countries. Although Japan has huge franchise market, Korean food service franchise companies in Japan only account for 5% of total franchise companies in Asian countries. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between food service franchise selection factors, brand loyalty, and revisit intention of Japanese consumers using Korean food service franchise companies in Japanese food service market, and based on the analysis results, draw the implications for the expansion of Korean food service franchise companies into the Japanese market. Food service franchise selection factors is defined as service and cleanliness, taste, safety and reliability, cost and convenience, and professionalism. The study results can be summarized as follows. First, analysis was performed to identify the effects of food service franchise selection factors on the brand loyalty, it showed that five food service franchise selection factors including professionalism, service and cleanliness, cost and convenience had positive (+) effects on the brand loyalty. One of the most important factors influencing the brand loyalty is professionalism. In order to raise food service franchise’s professionalism, it is necessary for the food service franchise companies to establish stronger strategies containing professional operation systems and services compared to general restaurants. Second, analysis was performed to identify the effects of food service franchise selection factors on revisit intention, five food service franchise selection factors, service and cleanliness, safety and reliability, and cost and convenience had positive (+) effects on revisit intention. One of the most important factors influencing revisit intention is safety and reliability. Thus, in order to raise safety and reliability it is important to form trust with consumers by properly utilizing systems of food hygiene and food safety accreditation.
