Four types of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor arrays were used to observe the aroma and spoilage odor emitted during the ripening process of plum & banana fruits. All gas sensors showed a high correlation (R=0.82~0.90) with the olfactory. The TGS 2603 sensor showed a high correlation of 0.90 between the odor generated and sensory perception of smell in the process of ripening and decaying fruits. In addition, it showed a very high correlation of 0.91 with the decay rate of the plum sample, and the significance probability through one-way ANOVA was also less than 0.05, which confirmed it as an optimal gas sensor (TGS 2603). Principal component analysis was performed using all the data. The cumulative variability was 99.54%, which could be explained only by two principal components, and the first principal component was 95.11%, which was related to the freshness of the fruit. It was analyzed as fresh fruit in the negative(-) direction and decayed fruit in the positive(+) direction.

The purpose of this study was to develop a functional senior mixed soymilk for seniors and to provide functional senior-mixed soymilk to prevent disease outbreaks. The isoflavone content of senior soymilk was 0.15±0.01 mg/g. The β-glucan content of senior soymilk was 9.82±0.01 mg/g. The weight gain of mice were significantly higher in the high-fat diet group than in the other groups. The serum triglyceride content was high at 102.67±40.61 mg/dL in the high-fat diet group, but significantly lower at 83.00±42.43 mg/dL in the 20% senior soymilk group. Thus, the results of this study comprehensively suggest that food intake should be ingested for each life cycle with reference to the dietary reference intakes for Koreans. In particular, the elderly in their 50s and older are deficient in protein and weakened immune capacity, so it is imperative that they maintain their health through various foods such as soymilk, which is evenly nutritious.

본 연구는 국내의 고온다습한 하절기에 산란계에 음용수 온도가 생산성, 호르몬 농도 및 혈액성상에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 실행하였다. 52주령 하이라인 갈색종 산란계 432수를 3개 처리구와 8반복으로 반복당 18수씩 케이지 사육장(550 cm2/수)에 배치하였고, 처리구별로 14.5, 24.0 및 32.5℃의 음용 수를 4주간 급수하였다. 산란계의 생산성은 산란율과 난중을 매일 조사하여 계산하였고, 호르몬, 혈액 성상 및 계란품질은 사양실험 종료 후 채집하여 분석하였다. 본 연구결과 산란율과 1일 산란양은 14.5℃ 의 급수구에서 유의적으로 개선되었고(p<0.05), 사료섭취량과 난중은 14.5와 24.0℃ 급수구에서 32.5℃ 에 비하여 현저히 증가하였다(p<0.05). 계란의 난백높이와 호우유닛은 음용수 온도에 따른 처리구간 통계적 차이가 없었다. 난각강도는 14.5℃ 급수 처리구에서 증가하였고(p<0.05) 난각두께도 개선되는 경향을 보였지만 처리구간에 통계적 차이는 없었다. 또한 혈청과 간의 GH와 IGF-I 농도는 32.5, 24.0 및 14.5℃ 급여구 순서로 증가하였고(p<0.05), 코티코스테론은 감소되었는데 14.5℃에서 가장 개선되었다(p<0.05). 이외에도 혈중 AST와 콜레스테롤은 14.5℃의 음용수 처리구에서 24.0과 32.5℃에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하였고(p<0.05), HDL콜레스테롤, 단백질 및 글루코오스는 처리구간에 통계적 차이가 없 었지만, 혈중 중성지방은 14.5℃처리구에서 현저하게 감소되었다(p<0.05). 그러므로 여름철 14.5℃의 음용수를 급여하면 산란계에서 고온스트레스를 저감하므로서 생산성, 계란품질 및 혈액성상을 개선하였다.

마늘은 우리나라에서 가장 중요한 조미채소이지만 생산비용의 증가와 인력부족으로 재배 면적이 줄고 있다. 마늘 생산과정에서 노동력이 가장 많이 투입되는 작업은 파종작업으로 단 기간에 많은 시간과 노 력을 필요로 하는데 이런 문제점을 줄일 수 있는 마늘파종기의 개발은 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연 구는 세 가지 마늘크기에 대해서 일정한 간격으로 2립 파종이나 결주를 최소화 하여 점 파종을 할 수 있는 마늘파종기를 설계·제작하고자 수행하였다. 그 결과, 선별기를 통해서 마늘을 크기 별로 선별한 후 각 종자 크기에 맞는 배종 버킷을 부착하여 파종을 진행한다면 파종 성능을 높일 수 있을 것으로 나 타났다. 파종 성능 시험을 통해 중간 크기의 버킷을 부착하여 농가에서 종자용으로 가장 많이 사용하는 중간 크기의 마늘을 파종할 때 가장 낮은 결주율은 6.2%로 나타났다.

The changes in the aroma and spoilage odor emitted from eleven ‘Hongro’ apples during ten weeks’ storage were investigated using six types of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor arrays. The gas sensors used in the evaluation were sensitive to apple-emitted aroma or spoilage odor, and a high reproducibility of 5% relative standard deviation or less was confirmed. Significantly, the change in apple-emitted aroma or spoilage odor was easily distinguished by the optimal gas sensor and a significant correlation (r=0.992) between decay rate and sensitivity change was observed. The results of a principal component analysis of the signal patterns obtained by data standardization using the optimal gas sensor showed a clear classification between decayed sampler groups and undecayed sampler groups.

This study was designed to assess the odor characteristics of paprika with metal oxide gas sensors. Non-decayed paprika and decayed paprika were assessed by sensor array system comprising 10 kinds of sensors. Three representative sensors were selected from among the 10. Selection was based on a correlation analysis between sensors from the results of the sensor array assessment on non-decayed paprika. It was found that the odor variation characteristics of paprika can be assessed by metal oxide gas sensors and that the odor variation characteristics of paprika are different depending on the type of gas sensors. The odor characteristics of paprika were different according to the color, the presence or absence of decay, the location of decay, the type of sensor, and the passage of time. Regardless of decay, the sensor response value of orange paprika was the highest, with the 2611 sensor yielding the highest response value. The SB-AQ1 sensor could not identify the difference in odor characteristics depending on the location of decay, while detection was possible by both SB-41 and 2611 sensors.

The purpose of this study was to investigate eating habits and dormitory foodservices’ satisfaction in university students using dormitory foodservice in the Jeollabuk-do Iksan area. Self-administered questionnaires were completed by 195 students (86 male, 109 female). Many students (58.5%) ate less than two meals per day and spent around 30 min eating meals. The results show that snack and midnight meals were the main reasons (37.9%) for unhealthy eating habits. Main source of nutritional knowledge and information were TV and the Internet (58.5%), followed by friends and people (25.1%), nutrition books (10.3%), elective courses (4.6%), and newspapers and magazines (1.5%). Men had significantly higher satisfaction scores for nutrition, taste, diversity of menu, as well as hygiene of dormitory food court compared to women (p<0.05). Salty taste was the most important factor in evaluation of taste satisfaction, whereas sour taste was opposite. The reason for taste dissatisfaction in the dormitory food court was not salty enough, and it may be related with their eating habits. The results show that students need education for adequate knowledge and information about the relationship between health and nutrition.

The correlation analysis between odor sensor and air dilution olfactometry method with odor emission facilities was performed for the real-time evaluation of odor emitted from the 13 facilities. The total correlation was less significant for all facilities due to various emission characteristics of odor. The correlation for the individual facility, however, showed a higher correlation coefficient (R=0.7371~0.9897). Especially, the strong correlation (above 0.9) was observed for the industry type with the odor characteristics like tobacco, styrofoam, acetic acid, and burning smell. The repeated odor measurements using the odor sensor showed good reproducibility with the mean relative standard deviation of 5.06%. The odor sensor could be useful tools for identifying and evaluating odor with an olfactometry in field, if the use and proofreading of the odor sensor are improved by a standardized method.

This study was carried out to recommend the recycling technology from the organic wastes generated in the neighborhood of a dam in Kroea. The order of production of the organic wastes without the suspended materials and energy corps are Chungju-dam(649.9 ton/day), Daechung-dam(525.1ton/day), Hapcheon-dam(485ton/day), Namgang-dam(478ton/day), and Soyang-dam(246.4ton/day). Because livestock excretions and nightsoil were composed of 72 to 93% of the total organic wastes, they should be proferly reflected in the plan of recycling. It was investigated that the biodegradability was 40~80%, biogas production, 0.22~1.70m3/kg VS, methan production, 0.15~1.07m3/kg VS, and methan contents, 63~79%, respectively, in case of the livestock excretions, which constituted over than 50% of organic wastes. Therefore, the appropriate technology for the recycling of organic wastes can be considered anaerobic co-digestion; this technology can create high added value because of using the fuel for new regeneration enery. SCFMR(Semi-Continuously Fed and Mixed Reactor) for an anaerobic digestion reactor was suited for the treatment of organic wastes because the retention time was relatively constant, compared to CSTR(Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor), power consumption was small, and operation and management of reactor was easy and economical.

Recently, the market share of local vegetables is decreasing due to the high price in Korea. Futhermore, rising personnel expenses, aging population and declining in the rural population are affecting on cultivation as unfavorable factors. To promote and maintain enacted by the vegetable promotion law those only agricultural products. Cultivation of vegetables needs many of the labor because the work should be conducted shade installation, planting, weeding and crop-dusting. Especially, planting work needs many of the labor that its working periods are very short and it should be planted an angle of the 45 degrees. On account of many working hours, it needs the mechanization of vegetable processing. All phased working hours are 298.6 hours(1 time of 4 years)/10a that planting hours are 60 hours/10a which is to need many work times. When developed multi planting machine operated in the laboratory, it was electronically controlled and has operational mechanism planting device. However, it malfunctioned in the bare ground. So it needs to be changed to mechanically controlled. Therefore, for vitalizing of the transplanting work, we are analyzing multi-planting machine that is mechanically controlled.

Recent growing about global warming has led to increase the need for low-carbon, green growth policy at the agricultural sectors and interest in the environmental-friendly and organic products. Therefore, Korea government has decided to reduce the use of chemical fertilizer at the farm field up to 40% and in order to attain this goal, promoting to grow green manure crops has been taken into positive consideration in terms of maintaining soil fertility and preventing soil loss. To this result, the acreage to cultivate green manure crops has been sharply increased from 4,000ha in 1998 to 225,000ha in 2012. Regarding environment-friendly agriculture, bulk of rice straw should be incorporated into the paddy just after harvest as soil cover materials and also green manure crops, such as chinese milk vetch, rye, Hairy vetch and so on have been recommended to be grown annually as soil cover crops. General sowing process of a certain seed crop at the farm field consists of plowing, harrowing, seeding, covering up seeds with soil in order. This process at the field has been known to take relatively long time and even not to be equal at the seeding depth. For this reasons, new seeding technology has been continuously required by farmers. Partial-tillage seeder consisting of dressing furrow and seeding parts enable to overcome germination barriers. Two soybean cultivars, ‘Taekwang’ and ‘Shingi’ were used to test the performance of newly-developed seeder and its establishment rate showed around 70 ~ 90% with given interval of embedded soybeans. Furthermore, the partial tillage technology applicable to the soybean field could reduce labor cost by 69% as well as 22% of the fuel consumption and also promote soybean productivity per unit area.

Soil column experiments were evaluated effects of silver nanoparticles (i.e., 0, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/L) on the microbial viability which is strongly associated with the degradation of organic matter, pharmaceutically active compounds(PhACs) and biological oxidation of nitrogenous compounds during river bank filtration. The addition of silver nanoparticles resulted in almost no change in the aqueous matrix. However, the intact cell concentration decreased with addition of silver nanoparticles from 2.5 to 10 mg/L, which accounted for 76% to 82% reduction compared to that of control (silver nanoparticles free surface water). The decrease in adenosine triphosphate was more pronounced; thus, the number and active cells in aqueous phase were concurrently decreased with added silver nanoparticles. Based on the florescence excitation-emission matrix and liquid chromatograph - organic carbon detection analyses, it shows that the removal of protein-like substances was relatively higher than that of humic-like substances, and polysaccharide was substantially reduced. But the extent of those substances removed during soil passage was decreased with the increasing concentration of silver nanoparticles. The attenuation of ionic PhACs ranged from 55% to 80%, depending on the concentration of silver nanoparticles. The attenuation of neutral PhACs ranged between 72% and 77%, which was relatively lower than that observed for the ionic PhACs. The microbial viability was affected by silver nanoparticles, which also resulted in inhibition of nitrifiers.
