This study investigated the effect of the simulated refrigerated distribution environment on the quality characteristics of green lettuce and ground meat. The simulated refrigerated distribution conditions were as follows: (A) the door was not opened while storing the product in the refrigerator, (B) the door was opened for 20 s every 10 min, and (C) the door was opened for 1 min every 10 min (C). In A, B, and C conditions, the bottom temperature was higher, and the average temperature and temperature deviation of the inside of the packaging box, green lettuce, and ground meat increased according to door opening time. According to simulated refrigerated distribution conditions, food qualities such as browning index, total chlorophyll content, and vitamin C content in green lettuce, moisture content, water holding capacity, and volatile basic nitrogen in ground meat were changed.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of emulsion-type chicken breast sausages containing black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) powder. The chicken breast and BSFL powder were added at various mixing ratios (C:chicken breast 56% and BSFL powder 0%, 1%:chicken breast 55% and BSFL powder 1%, 2%:chicken breast 54% and BSFL powder 2%, 3%:chicken breast 53% and BSFL powder 3%). The pH, moisture content, and water holding capacity of the sausages increased with the powder amount. In the instrumental color evaluation, the L* and b* values were significantly different among the samples (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in a* value (P>0.05) with the amount of powder added. Volatile basic nitrogen and acid value tended to increase with the amount of BSFL powder. The total phenolic content tended to increase, but the value of IC50 according to DPPH radical scavenging decreased as the amount of powder increased. This study concluded that BSFL powder can be used in meat products processing as a substitute for meat protein and may also improve antioxidant activity.

고추를 비롯한 채소작물에 심각한 피해를 야기하는 흰비단병의 생물학적 방제제를 개발하기 위하여 시설재배 토양에서 분리한 세균 중에서 흰비단병균인 Sclerotium rolfsii의 균사생장을 강하게 억제하는 균주를 선발하였다. 선발된 균주는 형태적, 생리적 분석과 16S rRNA 분석결과를 바탕으로 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens로 동정하였고 최종 선발균주를 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KBC1009로 명명하였 다. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KBC1009의 배양특성을 조사한 결과 배양온도 30℃, pH 7의 조건에서 72시간동안 배양했을 때 배양 효율이 가장 우수하였으며, 배양에 적정한 영양원은 탄소원 glucose, 질 소원 yeast extract를 사용했을 때 가장 높은 균수를 나타내었다. 포장에서 고추 흰비단병에 대한 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KBC1009의 방제효과를 검정하기 위해 흰비단병원균을 토양에 접종하고 B. amyloliquefaciens KBC1009 배양액(5×108 cfu/ml)을 500배로 희석하여 10일 간격으로 3회 관주 처리한 결과 무처리대비 66.7%의 방제효과를 나타내었다.
