This research investigated the effects of the plant growth regulators (PGRs) on fruit characteristics and storability of ‘Shine Muscat’ grapes. The objective was to identify effective PGR treatment methods for high-quality production and efficient storage. The characteristics of ‘Shine Muscat’ fruits were more affected by the secondary treatment applied 14 days after full bloom than by the primary treatment applied at full bloom. The fruits treated with thidiazuron (TDZ) in the secondary treatment showed higher weight. However, the forchlorfenuron (CPPU) treated fruits exhibited lower acidity and higher soluble solids content, which led to a higher sugar-to-acid ratio. Additionally, it had higher firmness, contributing to a good texture and a brighter yellow-green skin color, thus indicating better quality. The storage period for ‘Shine Muscat’ varies depending on the storage method: up to 60 days in cold storage and up to 110 days in Controlled Atmosphere (CA) storage. Like other kinds of fruits, CA storage was more effective for long-term storage. Furthermore, considering that the quality characteristics manifested during the prestorage PGR treatment were maintained during CA storage, secondary treatment with CPPU was deemed effective for optimal quality and storage.

Understanding changes in fermentation characteristics and microbial populations of forage silage during ensiling is of interest for improving the nutrient value of the feed for ruminants. This study was conducted to investigate the changes in fermentation characteristics and bacterial communities of whole crop rice (WCR) silage during the ensiling period. The chemical compositions, pH, organic acids and bacterial communities were evaluated at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months after ensiling. The bacterial communities were classified at both the genus and species levels. The dry matter content of WCR silage decreased with the length of storage (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference in crude protein and NDF contents. Following fermentation, the pH level of WCR silage was lower than the initial level. The lactic acid content remained at high levels for 3 to 6 months after ensiling, followed by a sharp decline at 12 months (p<0.05). Before fermentation, the WCR was dominated by Weissella (30.8%) and Pantoea (20.2%). Growth of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (31.4%) was observed at 3 months after ensiling. At 6 months, there was a decrease in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (10.2%) and an increase in Levilactobacillus brevis (12.8%), resulting in increased bacteria diversity until that period. The WCR silage was dominated by Lentilactobacillus buchneri (71.2%) and Lacticaseibacillus casei (27.0%) with a sharp reduction in diversity at 12 months. Overall, the WCR silage maintained satisfactory fermentation quality over a 12-month ensiling period. Furthermore, the fermentation characteristics of silage were found to be correlated to bacterial microbiome.

최근 국내에서 개발된 송풍식 양파 줄기절단기를 수확기 양 파 엽 절단에 활용할 경우 적정 작업 조건을 구명하기 위해서 이 실험을 수행하였다. 처리구 중 식물체 엽 건조가 가장 많이 진행된(엽 건조 정도 : 66.3%, 엽 수분함량 : 50.5%) 6월 20일 엽 절단 처리구에서 평균 잔여 엽장은 6.7±3.5cm로서 작업 후 적정 잔여 엽장에 해당되는 범위인 4－10cm에 포함되므로 기계 엽 절단 성능이 처리구 중 가장 우수한 것으로 판단된다. 줄기절단기 이용 양파 엽 기계 절단 시 평균 작업 속도는 0.17m·s-1였는데, 이는 인력 엽 절단 처리구의 평균 작업 속도 인 0.05m·s-1보다 3.4배 정도 빨랐으며, 이를 통해 해당 기종 을 이용하여 10a 면적을 작업할 경우에는 인력 작업(1인 기준) 에 비해 2.6시간 정도를 절감할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 기계 엽 절단 처리구에서의 손상구 발생률은 1.3%로서 인력 엽 절단 처리구의 0.0%에 비해 높았는데, 이로 인해 기계 엽 절단 처리구가 인력 엽 절단 처리구보다 저장 중 양파 구 부패 율이 평균적으로 높았던 것으로 판단된다. 처리별 저장 특성 을 살펴보면, 저장 8개월 후 구 부위(기부, 정부)별 부패율은 기계 엽 절단 후 잔여 엽장이 5.0cm 미만인 처리구에서 잔여 엽장이 5.0cm 이상인 처리구보다 높았다. 이는 잔여 엽 길이 가 5.0cm 미만인 처리구에서는 5.0cm 이상인 처리구보다 저 장 중 구 부패를 유발하는 병원균의 감염이 쉬우므로 장기 저 장 시 부패율이 높은 것으로 생각된다. 본 실험 결과와 실험 기 종의 성능 목표(작업 후 잔여 엽장 : 5cm) 및 양파 수확 시 적정 잔여 엽장에 관한 기존의 연구결과 등을 종합적으로 고려할 경우, 본 실험에 사용된 줄기절단기 이용 양파 엽 절단 시 양파 의 적정 잔여 엽장은 5－10cm 정도일 것으로 판단된다.

Physicochemical properties and storage stability of plant-based alternative meat prepared with low-fat soybean powder (LPAM) treated by supercritical-CO2 and those of full-fat soybean powder (FPAM) were compared. Ash and crude protein contents were higher in LPAM than in FRAM. Water absorption capacity and oil absorption capacity were significantly higher in LPAM than in FPAM. Water binding capacity was higher in LPAM than in FPAM during a 20 days storage period at 5℃ and pH was significantly lower in LPAM than in FPAM after a 5~10 days storage period. Hardness, gumminess and chewiness significantly increased with the increase in the storage period, and the three were significantly higher in LPAM than in FPAM after 10 days and 20 days of storage. The acid value showed no remarkable difference according to the storage period in LPAM; however, it was significantly higher in FPAM than in LPAM after 20 days of storage. The peroxide value and TBA value were significantly increased according to the storage period, and were significantly lower iin LPAM than in FPAM during all the storage periods. Therefore, the use of low-fat soybean powder may be effective in improving oxidative stability during storage in the production of plant-based alternative meat.

The no-treatment sample had a fungus of 814.5±72.8 mm2 in size on day 0 and the fungus the largest fungus was 6,362±636.7 mm2 on day 30. In the case of water treatment, the fungus was 286.4±31.5~4,836.4±484.6 mm2 in size. The results of the study confirmed that washing yuzu with ozone water has a sterilizing effect.

수경 재배한 멜론의 생육과 수확 후 모의유통 시 품질 차이를 검토하였다. ‘루비볼춘추계’의 수경재배 된 멜론을 이용하여 저장 온도를 2℃와 5℃, 10℃, 20℃하여 모의유통 시 특성과 가용성고형물(SSC), 경도, 생체중 변화, 외관 등의 변화를 조사하였다. 멜론을 상온으로 유통하는 조건 하에서 저온저장에 따른 과실 특성을 본 연구에서 확인하였다. 멜론 저장 시 가용성고형물, 경도, 생체중, 외관이 저장온도에 따라 차이를 보였다. 가용성고형물은 멜론을 저온(2~5℃)에서 저장하여 모의유통 된 것이 상온(20℃)에서 다른 온도처리보다 높은 수준인 것으로 나타났다. 외관과 경도는 모의유통 중 저장 온도에 따른 영향이 지속적이지는 못하였지만 유통초기 저온(2~10℃) 저장이 외관 지수 및 경도 수치가 높은 경향이었다. 저장 온도에 따른 영향이 모의유통 시 계속 효과를 유지하지 못하여 국내 유통 시 이를 고려하여야 할 것이다. 본 연구 결과, 저장 온도에 따른 모의유통 중에 미치는 영향은 저장 직후 짧은 단기간에만 효과를 유지하여, 국내 유통 하에서 저장할 경우에는 바로 소비할 수 있도록 유도해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activities, quality characteristics, and storage stability of perilla oil mayonnaise (PM) with different levels of onion powder (OP) from 0 to 3%. As the amount of OP increased, the L, a, and b values increased, but pH decreased (p<0.05). The addition of OP raised viscosity (p<0.05). The addition of OP to PM proportionally increased the total phenolic content, and antioxidant activities as measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity, and FRAP assay. When compared to PM without OP, PM that contained OP had a peroxide value that was almost 1.94 times lower. The emulsion stability was between 97.62 to 94.92% in the PM without OP and PM with OP groups was 99.60% for 12 weeks. This study showed that the inclusion of OP in PM has the potential to inprove its quality, antioxidant activities, and storage stability.

To predict the quality of Fuji apples, this study investigated the characteristics and correlations of their fruit quality according to storage method and storage period. Fuji apples were stored in cold storage at 0oC for 250 days with no treatment, with 1-MCP treatment, and under controlled atmosphere (CA) storage. According to the storage method, the weight loss was the lowest in the CA-treated group (3.43%) until 250 days, and the change in fruit firmness was the least in the 1-MCP group. The titratable acidity remained above 0.2% for 1-MCP and CA storage until 250 days and decreased to 0.1% for cold storage. The principal component analysis showed a difference in quality between the 1-MCP group, CA group, and cold storage group after 200 days of storage. Six types of volatile components were commonly detected in all storage methods, while three types of independent components with a low threshold were detected in 1-MCP. Weight loss, titrable acidity, and firmness were highly correlated with physicochemical quality, and CA storage was judged to be a long-term storage technology that satisfies consumers’ tastes by maintaining excellent flavor and quality.

In this study, kombucha was prepared by adding 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of Orostachys japonicus as a natural functional source to broaden its usage and obtain valuable data for fermented beverage research. The kombucha’s pH and sugar content decreased during the fermentation period, but its acidity level increased during the same period. Additionally, its L value increased after decreasing, its a value decreased after increasing, its b value continued to increase, and its sugar reduction increased and then decreased. In the sensory characteristic strength evaluation, its color, fermented odor, and sour taste became stronger, but its sweetness became less. As a result of preference evaluation, fragrance and swallowing capability stood the highest in the 25% addition group, color and taste were the highest in the 50% addition group, and overall preference was highest in the 50% addition group. Total flavonoids, total polyphenols, DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging ability, and reducing power increased until the third day of the experiment and decreased afterward. Therefore, the study determined that fermenting kombucha with 50% Orostachys japonicus extract for 9 days would increase its quality characteristics and provide the most palatability.

Recently, consumers’ awareness of the importance of the intestinal action of lactic acid bacteria and intestinal microbes is increasing, as well as interest in yogurt. In this study, yogurt was prepared with three mixed strains (lactic acid bacteria combination, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp., and Bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilussei, 1:1:1) by adding oats flour, and the quality characteristics of yogurt were investigated, while stored at a storage temperature of 4℃ for 12 days. According to the storage period, the control as wel as the oat yogurt showed slight decrease in pH, and no significant change in acidity. Sugar content slightly increased. and brightness decreased, in the control and the oat yogurt. Visible cell numbers increased during storage, and decreased on the 12th day. Viscosity in the oat yogurt was 7,580 cP, which was approximately eight times higher than that of the control group, and decreased gradually according to the storage period. Antioxidant activity (DPPH) was approximately two times higher in the oat-added yogurt, and slightly increased with the storage period, decreased on the 12th day of storage, and β-glucan was detected only in oat-added yogurt.

본 연구는 기능성 물질인 알로에를 종류별로 첨가함에 따라 유화소시지의 이화학적 특성과 저장성, 그리고 관능성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 알로에 베라(AV구)와 알로에 사포나리아(AS구)는 각 3%씩 첨가하였으며, 모든 처리구들은 냉장온도 4±1℃에서 4주간 저장하면서 주 1회 간격으로 실험이 진행되었다. pH는 AV구와 AS구가 대조구보다 유의적(p<0.05)으로 낮았고, 저장기간의 경과함에 따라 대조구 및 모든 처리구는 증가하였다. 보수성에서 AS구는 대조구와 AV구보다 유의적(p<0.05)으로 높은 값을 나타냈으며, 저장기간의 경과함에 따라 대조구 및 모든 처리구는 유의적(p<0.05)으로 감소하였다. 적색도는 AS구가 대조구 및 AV구 보다 낮은 값을 나타내었고, 황색도는 AS구가 대조구, AV구보다 높은 값을 나타내었다. 전단가는 AS구가 대조구보다 낮은 값을 나타냈으며, AV구와는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 지방 산패도에서 AS구는 유의적 (p<0.05)으로 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었고, 관능 평가의 색은 AV구가 가장 높은 값을 나타냈으며, 선호도는 AV구가 대조구보다 높은 값을 나타냈고 AS구와는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 이는 알로에 사포나리아의 첨가가 높은 보수성, 알로에 베라 첨가보다 낮은 지방산패도, 유사한 관능성을 나타내 기능성 소시지의 개발에 충분한 경쟁력을 가지고 있으며 향후 알로에 사포나리아를 첨가한 육제품의 일반화 및 대량생산 체계의 확립에 긍정적인 영향을 준다고 판단된다.

This research aims to investigate pudding with grain-added yogurt for its quality characteristics and viability during cold storage. The yogurt was fermented until its pH was 5.10±0.05 after inoculating the probiotic strain (Bifidobacterium lactis, BB-12) into the milk base containing grains. The yogurt was added to prepare probiotic puddings. During cold storage of the puddings at 4±1oC for 4 week, the quality characteristics (pH, acidity, texture) and the viability of BB-12 in pudding were determined and compared to control (only milk base). As a result, MR had a significantly lower pH and higher acidity than those of other samples. In texture properties, including hardness, gumminess, and chewiness, MSIR showed the significantly highest value, and the pudding with inulin was significantly higher than rice flour in all textures. For the viability of BB-12, pudding with milk was significantly lower than pudding containing milk and soymilk, suggesting that soymilk helps maintain viability. MR showed significantly higher viability than MI in the milk-based pudding, indicating that rice flour is more effective than inulin. Therefore, the addition of soymilk, inulin, and rice can maintain quality characteristics and viability of BB-12 in the pudding.

흑타리 UV-B조사시간에 따른 저장특성과 에르고스테 롤함량의 변화를 조사하였다. 중량감모율은 조사시간이 길어질수록 중량의 감소율이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. CO2/O2 조성의 경우 UV-B 조사시간이 길어질수록 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. ΔE는 Lightness와 Redness에서 30분처리와 무처리에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만, Yellowness에서 무처리가 15분처리보다 2.7, 30분처리보다 1.6 높은 값이 나온 것을 확인할 수 있다. 경도에서도 마찬가지로 UV-B 조사시간이 길어지면 빠르게 물러지는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 에르고스테롤의 함량변화의 경우 30분처리가 무처리보다 약 2배 정도 높은 값이 나온 것을 볼 수 있었다. 전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과 UV-B조사시 간이 길어지면 길어질수록 세포벽이 부서지는 경향을 나타냈으며, 30분처리에 비해서 15분처리의 세포벽이 좀 더 양호한 것을 볼 수 있었다. 전체적인 결과로 보았을 때 UV-B 조사시간이 길어지면 저장특성이 나빠지며, 세포벽이 파괴되지만, 에르고스테롤의 함량이 증가하는 것으로 보인다. 하지만, 30분처리의 저장특성에 비해 15분처리의 저장특성이 높았으며, 에르고스테롤의 함량 차이가 크게 나지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서, UV-B 30분처리를 하게 되면 에르고스테롤의 함량은 증가하지만, 중량의 감소율이 증가하며, 색차값이 달라지며, 세포벽이 많이 부서지는 경향을 나타내었다. 추후 UV-B의 적정조사시간에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 저장 온도를 달리하여 높은 상대습도의 환경에서 건조 감자를 저장하였을 때 발생하는 품질변화를 관찰하였다. 저장기간 및 건조온도가 증가함에 따라 L* value 는 감소하였고, a* 및 b* value는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 수분활성도는 높은 습도 조건으로 인해 10일차부터 급격히 증가하였으며, 환원형 비타민 C 함량은 급격히 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. pH 값은 저장기간 동안 완만하게 감소하였으며 40oC에서 저장했을 때 큰 폭으로 감소하였다. 저장기간 동안 대장균군은 검출되지 않았으며, 일반 세균 수는 저장 온도가 증가함에 따라 많이 검출되었다. 전체적으로 20oC와 30oC에서 저장한 시료 간의 차이는 크지 않았으나, 40oC에서 저장한 시료의 경우 큰 품질변화를 나타내었고, 밀봉된 상태로 저장한 대조구의 경우 품질변화가 적게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 종합해 볼 때, 밀봉하여 산소와 수분을 차단한 상태로 저장하는 것이 제품 고유의 특성을 유지하는데 가장 효과적이며, 높은 습도의 환경일 경우 낮은 온도로 저장하는 것이 품질 변화를 지연시키는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
