In order to investigate the applicability of ohmic heating in the blanching and heat sterilization process of vegetable foods, various electrical properties and heating characteristics were studied using intact potato. The electrical conductivity of potato with cell structure was 0.025 S/m, which was lower than that of starch and protein gel, and was increased linearly with increasing temperature. The temperature of ohmic heating was sharply increased from 8 min at 60 V, reaching 90°C after 10 min. The temperature rise was rapid at 60°C which was due to the increase of current flow by structural change related to the gelatinization of starch. The increase of temperature was faster when the frequency was increased, such as from 500 Hz to 1000 Hz. When potato was heated by ohmic heating at 60- 90 V and 40-120 Hz, rapid and uniform heat generation was possible. Thus, commercial utilization of ohmic heating can be applied for various types of vegetable foodstuff with ohmic heating was observed.

A study on the decolorization method of salt-fermented anchovy sauce using activated carbon was carried out. The anchovy sauce filtered with a diatomaceous membrane after heating at 85℃ for 20 min was reacted with 3.0% (w/w) activated carbon with pH 4.5 at 55℃ for 2 hr. The color difference value and turbidity related to the decolorizing effect showed excellent improvement results with a difference of 23% and 88%, respectively. The overall taste and color preference of decolorized anchovy sauce were significantly increased in shrimp sauce by 0.4-0.5 points (p<0.05). In order to minimize the precipitation of amino acid during storage, 1% silicon dioxide or gelatin was mixed and filtered after the activated carbon reaction. Turbidity, as index of sedimentation, was improved by 15% at 30℃ for 2 weeks. The recycle system with activated carbon coated membrane filter reduced the processing time and cost on decolorization of anchovy sauce. When the concentrated anchovy sauce was recirculated, the amount of total protein as an indicator of taste compounds was increased by 125%, which is 1.8% compared to the conventional 0.8%, indicating that it is highly useful as a liquid seasoning.

The background of this study is to establish a systematic development process for SSD(Solid State Drive) which is being watched as the next generation auxiliary memory device and to make stable production. In order to do so, we select the two products that have been developed and classify and analyze all defects generated in each product by type and process of defects. The root cause of the fault and its background were reflected in the contradiction matrix of TRIZ's technical contradiction, and the improvements suggested in the 40 inventive principles were reflected in the test case design methodology of each process. Finally, this study suggests a process optimization method for systematic development.
