This study is in order to the effect of 1-methlycyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment and film package as modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the changes in fruit quality factors of 'Daehong' peaches during cold storage. The concentrations of 1-MCP were treated at 1μL·L-1 and 2μL·L-1, and peaches in film package were stored for 28 days in cold storage at 5±1°C and 85±5% RH. The fruits stored carton box were used as a control of MAP, and 1-MCP free fruits were used as the control of both packages. Rate of fresh weight loss during storage was not significantly different between groups with and without 1-MCP treatment, but was higher in the box package than in the MAP. The control group had a higher incidence of both gases with the 1-MCP treatment group showing statistically significantly low. Carbon dioxide in the package was lowered by about 12% compared to the non-treated group, and the ethylene concentration was maintained at 1μL·L-1, showing a significance low compared to other treated groups. As the storage period elapsed, the firmness of 1-MCP and MAP treated fruits remained significant at 5-9% compared to the control group. Regardless of the packaging method Hunter a* values of exocarp and mesocarp were significantly higher in fruit treated with 1-MCP 1μL·L-1 treatment than in the control group, and anthocyanin was significantly higher in the fruit during the storage period, especially high in MAP. In summary, fruits of MAP group with 1-MCP 1μL·L-1 had rate of lower respiration and ethylene production, and little changes in firmness, Hunter a* values of exo-carp and meso-carp, and anthocyanin, which is considered the most suitable method for preserving postharvest quality of the peach cultivar during the storage.

Long-term safe storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) determines sustainability of the current light water reactor (LWR) fleet. In the U.S., SNF is stored in stainless steel canister in dry cask storage system (DCSS) after spending several years in wet pool storage system while there is no DSCC in Republic of Korea. The SNF storage time in DSCC is expected to be multiple decades since no permanent geological repositories are identified in both countries. One limiting factor for extended storage of SNF in DSCC is chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) in the welded regions of the stainless steel canisters. The propensity for the occurrence of CISCC has warranted the development of the mitigation and repair technologies to ensure the safe and long-term storage for both present and new canister although no CISCC failure was reported yet. This study investigates cold spray deposition coatings of 304 L and 316 L stainless steels on prototypical stainless steel canisters such as sensitized flat and C-ring samples. The cold spray technology has been identified as the most promising approach by Extended Storage Collaboration Program (ESCP) driven by Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). The talk includes microstructural characterization, adhesion strength measurement, residual stress evaluation, and corrosion behavior of the coated materials in boiling MgCl2 solution and electrochemical corrosion tests in NaCl solution. In addition, the capability of repair of cracks on the canister surface using the coating technology will be presented.

This study was conducted to evaluate quality and anthocyanin content of ‘Tarocco’ orange fruit in order to support early harvest. Harvest times were set at 280 days after anthesis (DAA), 300 DAA, and 320 DAA (conventional harvest). The fruits were classified as those having an intense reddish color or a yellowish orange color in the rind. The fruits were stored during 45 days at 8oC, for low temperature storage, or 18oC, for room temperature storage in winter. The changes in the fruit quality were measured at 15-days interval. The reddish rind fruit had slightly higher sugar content than the orange fruits with yellowish rind, but had similar acidity. A sugar content of 13.0 oBrix or more was recorded for fruits harvested 280 DAA with 45 days of low-temperature storage. A similar finding was recorded after 15 days of low temperature storage for the fruits harvested 300 DAA with 30 days for the conventional harvest. The anthocyanin content was higher for fruits with later harvest time (37.8 mg·L-1) and longer storage period in both low and winter room temperatures (25.2-53 mg·L-1 and 10.3-51.9 mg·L-1, respectively). For all harvest periods, the peel and juice color intensity increased after 15 days of low temperature storage and remained constant regardless of the storage temperature. The result indicated that the fruit quality and anthocyanin content of fruits harvested 300 DAA was better than fruits harvested 320 DAA (conventional harvest), stored 15 days at 8oC or 30 days at 18oC after harvesting 300 DAA.

The development of technology related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the growth of the online market due to pandemic are continuing the growth of the logistics market for product delivery. If it is difficult to deliver the product directly to the customer during delivery, storage and delivery using the unmanned courier box are being carried out. However, existing storage boxes are not actively used due to lack of usability even though they have the advantage of storing goods and delivering non-face-to-face. In addition, existing courier boxes are not prepared for cold chain transportation. The unmanned delivery storage device with ICT cold chain technology should be developed to prepare for the transition to non-face-to-face society, to improve logistics efficiency and meet user's requirements. Also, it is necessary to consider the measures to reduce the safety problems that may occur during the use and maintenance of the automatic system.This study conducted a model-based analysis for the development of unmanned delivery storage devices with ICT cold chain technology, and conducted a study to derive the system development specifications that meet the requirements and secure safety and apply them to the development process.

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.

This research aimed to investigate the effects of the inoculation method and diverse ingredients on the quality properties and probiotics viability of pudding with milk and/or soymilk. The probiotic strain (Lactobacillus acidophilus, LA-5) was inoculated into the yogurt base and fermented until the pH is 5.10 ± 0.05. The fermented yogurt was added into pudding base (yogurt inoculation), or LA-5 was directly inoculated (direct inoculation). During the storage of the puddings at 4±1oC for 4 wks, the quality characteristics (pH, acidity, texture) and the probiotics viability of pudding were measured and compared. As a result, the puddings with yogurt inoculation showed significantly lower pH and higher acidity than those with direct inoculation. In texture properties, including hardness, chewiness, and gumminess, the addition of rice powder increased those in milk pudding more but the addition of inulin in the milk-soymilk pudding more. The addition of rice powder increased probiotics viability more than inulin in milk and milk-soymilk puddings. Therefore, adding rice and/or inulin can potentially improve the probiotics viability and quality characteristics of pudding.

In this study, we investigated the effects of cooling rate during storage on spring kimchi cabbage from an economic perspective. For long-term storage, kimchi cabbage (KC) should be maintained at a low temperature immediately after harvest; however, a sudden change in temperature during storage may lead to chilling injury in KC. The optimal cooling rate is important for the long-term storage of KC. To identify the optimal cooling rate, KC was cooled at different cooling rates (1oC, 2oC, 4oC, 6oC, 8oC, and 24 oC/day), and then stored at 1oC for 90 days. Thereafter, weight, trimming, total loss, pH, free sugar content, and total bacterial count changes were measured. Spring KC stored at the cooling rate of 6 oC/day presented a lower total loss and better sensory properties than KC stored at other cooling rates; thus, 6 oC/day is an appropriate cooling rate for long-term storage of KC.

Ammonium (NH4 +-N) and nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) fertilizers were spread 30 kg/10a and 60 kg/10a, respectively, as additional fertilizers in nitrogen fertilization to investigate their effects on spring kimchi cabbage's physiological disorders during cold storage. The initial weight of spring kimchi cabbage after harvesting was 3.80 kg with two-fold NO3-N, whereas it was 3.22 kg with one-fold NO3-N. After 90 days of cold storage, the total loss ratio became lower as the nitrogen fertilizer ratio increased. The pH increased, reducing sugar content decrease during the storage. Black speck occurrence became higher as the nitrogen fertilizer increased. Mid-rib brown stain and soft rot were observed slightly in kimchi cabbage regardless of the nitrogen fertilizer ratio. Two-fold NO3-N fertilization showed a positive effect on increasing weight and reducing kimchi cabbage loss, but it exhibited a negative effect on the black speck. The method and content of nitrogen fertilization of spring kimchi cabbage may be adjusted according to the usage and storage periods.

This study investigates the physicochemical and sensory properties of the soy-based patties using κ-carrageenan (CG) and methyl-cellulose (MC) as binders. Soy-based patties were prepared using 0%-2% of κ-carrageenan and methyl-cellulose in proportion, and the quality change of soy-based patties was measured by storing them at 4oC for 4 weeks. During the storage periods, the water holding capacity of ‘MC 1.5%+CG 0.5%’ showed high values. As the MC content increased, the weight loss and cooking loss tended to decrease, and both values increased significantly during the storage period. As the MC content increased, the lightness and redness tended to decreased. The hardness and chewiness of soy-based patties tended to increase as the MC content increased. During the storage period, the total aerobic bacteria and the coliforms tended to increase. The VBN content was showed 14.6-17.5 mg%/100g in first week, since then, the VBN content has continued to increase. As a result of sensory evaluation, the springiness, taste and overall acceptability of soy-based patties with ‘MC 1.5%+CG 0.5%’ and ‘MC 2.0%’ showed the highest value.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of the microbiological contamination levels, pH, acidity, solid contents, total phenol contents, and color difference of cold-brew coffee products during 4 weeks at room and cold temperatures. The 17 sample coffees were purchased from regional cafes in Jeonju. Each coffee was self-blended by the cafes. Esherichia coli was not detected in all the samples, but bacteria were detected in 1 sample and yeast and molds were detected in 4 samples. Of the samples stored at room temperature (25oC) after 4 weeks, general bacteria were detected in 4 samples (3.0×101 cfu/ml-1.7×103 cfu/ml), and yeast and molds were detected in 11 samples (1.3×101 cfu/ml - 3.1×105 cfu/ml). In the case of the samples stored at cold temperature (4oC), general bacteria were detected in 3 samples, and yeast and molds were detected in 6 samples although the level of contamination was lower than that at room temperature. pH and acidity decreased during the storage period, but the total phenol content did not change. In the case of chromaticity, redness and yellowness tended to decrease.

본 연구는 미얀마에서 생산된 상추, 아스파라거스, 오이, 오크라, 토마토의 선도유지기간 향상을 위한 저온저장 및 유통 체계 구축의 필요성을 제사하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 상온, 10oC, 4oC에서 8주 동안 저장하면서 각각 채소들의 품질변화를 조사하였고 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 미얀마에서 채소 품목을 상온 유통 할 경우 수분감소 및 부패 발생으로 유통기간이 매우 짧아짐을 확인하였다. 2. 중량감소율을 모든 처리에서 저장기간이 길어질수록 증 가하는 경향이었고, 상추, 아스파라거스, 오크라의 중량감소율은 저온 저장(10oC 및 4oC) 2~3주 만에 약 50% 까지 증가하였다. 3. 10oC 저온저장을 통해 상추, 아스파라거스, 오이, 오크라, 토마토의 선도유지기간을 상온저장에 비해 각각 4주, 2주, 3주, 2주, 3주가량 향상시켰다. 4. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 10oC 이하의 온도조건에 저장했을 때 상온 저장에 비해 유통기간이 연장됨을 확인하였으나, 대부분의 채소 품목의 저장성은 온도조건 뿐만 아니라 상대습도를 포함한 다양한 외적 요인에 영향을 받기 때문에 품목에 따른 차이가 매우 컸다. 5. 따라서 향후 각 품목별 최적 저장 온도 설정 및 상대습도에 따른 저장기간 구명 등 저장성 향상 및 유통기간 연장을 위한 다양한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 레드비트 분말의 첨가가 냉장 저장중 비가열 돈육패티의 품질특성에 미치는 효과를 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. 실험구는 다음과 같이 구분하였다. 대조구: 아질산염 0.01%, T1: 아질산염 0.005%+레드비트 분말 0.1%, T2: 레드비트 분말 0.1%, T3: 레드비트 분말 0.3%, T4: 레드비트 분말 0.5%. 레드비트 분말을 첨가한 비가열 돈육패티의 품질특성에서 모든 처리구들이 수분, 보수력, pH에서 유사한 수준을 나타냈으나 (p>0.05), 가열 후 감량은 레드비트 분말의 첨가가 증가할수록 높아지는 결과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 레드비트 분말의 첨가는 돈육패티의 조직특성과 관능평가에 큰 영향을 나타내지 않았으며, 레드비트 분말의 첨가가 증가할수록 적색도가 증가하는 결과를 나타내었다. 15일간의 냉장저장 중 레드비트 분말의 첨가는 비가열 돈육패티의 저장특성에 부정적인 영향을 나타내었으나 비가열 돈육패티의 외관을 크게 향상시킬 수 있는 우수한 착색제로서 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

콜레마니진디벌 머미는 처리한 온도조건(6, 8, 10 및 12 ± 1℃) 중, 8℃에서 저장 10일 까지 50% 이상의 우화율을 보였다. 머미 우화율이 가장 높았던 8℃에서 콜레마니진디벌 머미의 저장기간에 따른 기생된 기장테두리진딧물 머미 수를 조사한 결과, 저장 후 진딧물 기생율이 급격히 떨어지는 것이 확인되었으며, 13일 이상의 저장할 경우 평균 기생율이 20%를 넘지 못하였다. 머미 상태로 저장기간 3일부터 10일까지는 기생율의 차이를 보이지 않았다. 콜레마니진디벌 성충은 3일 이상의 저장은 생존율이 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보여 성충태로의 저온저장은 불가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 고치 형성 후 2일차 된 예쁜가는배고치벌 고치를 6, 8 및 10 ± 1℃ 에서의 저장 기간에 따른 우화율을 조사한 결과, 8℃에서 가장 높은 우화율을 나타냈으며 최대 63일까지 저장이 가능하였다. 8℃ 조건에서 저장기간이 길어질수록 산란기주인 담배거세미나방 2, 3령 유충의 치사율과 고치 형성 수가 급격히 감소하는 경향이었으며, 최적 저장기간은 2주 정도인 것으로 판단되었다.

참딱부리긴노린재의 약충과 성충 모두 5℃ 조건에서 30일 이상 50%의 누적생존율을 나타내며 저장이 가능하였다. 생존율이 가장 높았던 저장 온도인 5℃에서의 저장기간별 참딱부리긴노린재의 산란수는 저장기간이 길어질수록 감소하였으나, 4주까지의 저장은 산란수에 영향을 주지 않았다. 3주간의 저온저장된 참딱부리긴노린재 성충은 담배가루이 4~5령 약충을 포식하는데 포식량에 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서 참딱부리 긴노린재 약충과 성충은 5℃ 조건에서 3주간의 저장이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 갈고리뱀잠자리붙이 성충은 꿀물을 제공하며 5℃에서 저장하 였을 때 20주(140일)까지 50%의 누적생존율을 나타내며 저장이 가능하였지만, 2주 이상의 저온저장은 산란력에 부정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 저온저장기간이 길어질수록 갈고리뱀잠자리붙이의 진딧물 포식량은 감소하였으나. 5주까지의 저온저장은 진딧물 포식량에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 참딱부리긴노린재와 갈고리뱀잠자리붙이 두 종 천적의 단일 저온저장이 가능할 것으로 보여 생물학적 방제의 유용한 도구로 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

육제품에 사용되는 합성 항산화제를 대체할 천연물질에 관한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 냉장 저장 중 아스타잔틴(AX)의 첨가가 유화형소시지의 산화 안정성 및 품질 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 무첨가구인 대조구, 500 mg/kg BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene), 및 80 mg/kg AX으로 처리하였다. AX의 첨가는 유화형소시지의 pH, 유화 안정성 및 가열 수율에 유의적인 영향을 미치지 않았다(p>0.05). 그러나 육색의 경우 아스타잔틴 첨가구의 초기(day 1) 색상유지력은 합성 항산화제인 BHT와 동일하였고, 적색도는 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 항산화 능력에서, 처리구간 단백질 산화는 유의 적인 차이가 없었다. 지질 산화의 경우 저장 종료시(day 14) BHT 처리구에서 가장 낮은 값을 나타냈으나 AX 첨가구 또한 무첨가구인 대조구보다 매우 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 한편, 경도는 저장 초기에 비해 저장 종료시 BHT와 AX 처리구들에서 대조구에 비해 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 그러므로 천연물질인 아스타잔틴은 기존에 사용되는 합성 항산화제인 BHT를 대체하여 항산화제의 역할뿐만 아니라 육제품의 색상 증진제로도 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Among them, AHRI's international standard is the most advanced standard, so test methods and conditions are matched. Finally, the performance evaluation technology and the performance evaluation technology for the refrigerator unit suitable for the domestic situation using the analyzed method were proposed.

It was available to store both nymphs and adults of Geocoris pallidipennis at 5℃ for 3 weeks without negative effects on their survival, fecundity, and Bamisia tabaci nymph predation. Up to 140 days, it was also possible to store Micromus angulatus adults at low temperature, showing approximately 50% cumulative survival rate, but over 2 week cold storage was not suitable for their fecundity. With the increase of cold storage duration, the aphid predation by M. angulatus decreased, but it could be possible to cold store until 5 weeks without a significant effect on their aphid predation. Thus, short term cold storage of G. pallidipennis and M. angulatus could be useful for inundative biological control.
