This study was conducted to examine the microbiological quality indicators (total bacterial count and coliform count) and physicochemical quality indicators (pH, redness, volatile basic nitrogen [VBN] content) of meat according to various storage temperatures (20~15oC) and packaging methods (wrap, vacuum). Based on these results, we proposed a safe consumption period. Redness, pH, and VBN content were not considered appropriate for setting the expiration date, as the redness and pH of the meat after spoilage were better than the standard values for both vacuum and wrap packaging (p<0.05). Additionally, the VBN content at 2 and 4oC increased slightly (fresh level) until the initial time of spoilage (1.0×106 colony-forming unit [CFU]/cm2) and then increased rapidly thereafter. Therefore, the results were not consistent with microbial spoilage. When the decay point was evaluated based on the presence of microorganisms, vacuum packaging extended the storage period approximately 2.5-fold when compared with wrap packaging, and the meat could be stored at 2 or 4oC for 40 or 23 days, respectively. Therefore, to evaluate meat quality, microbial indicators should be considered first. The microbiological standards proposed in this study can be used for safety management during the distribution of meat. However, to ensure meat safety, additional investigations of appropriate indicators of freshness must be conducted.

Black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) has been noted as an excellent feed ingredient. However, there is limited information on rearing and processing technology. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the substrates for rearing BSF and the optimal processing method for BSF performance. Study separated as 2 experiment, BSF rearing and drying method(Exp 1.) and EP-processing method(exp 2.). During the study, 30 clutches were reared, with 10 per substrate. Three substrates, namely food waste (FW), tofu by-product (TF), and vegetable waste with two drying methods, namely hot air dry (AD) and microwave dry (MW) at expanding (EP) ratios of 5:5 and 7:3, were examined by evaluating their rearing performance, nutrient contents, in vitro digestibility and lipid oxidation stability during storage (0, 14 and 28 days). In experiment 1, the rearing substrates and drying methods were evaluated. Compared with that of conventional methods (FW, AD), the TF substrates and MW method showed higher dry matter contents (3.43%) and in vitro digestibility (1.62%) but lower ether extract contents(3.53%; p<0.05). However, the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration under MW treatments decreased during storage (5.77%, 4.69% and 3.24%; p<0.05). In experiment 2, compared with that of the 7:3 EP-BSF ratio, the 5:5 EP-BSF ratio showed higher in vitro digestibility (2.70%) and lower MDA concentration during storage (19.19%, 7.96% and 6.42%; p<0.05). In conclusion, the optimal conditions for BSF rearing and ensuring product quality were TF substrates, MW methods and a 5:5 corn:BSF ratio. Therefore, the optimal conditions for producing EP-BSF can present an excellent feed ingredient alternative for swine feed.

마늘은 백합과 알리움속에 속하는 작물로 약용, 양념채소로 많이 소비되어져 왔다. 마늘은 6월에 수확하여 1개월 간의 건조과정을 거치게 되는데 보통 장마기와 겹치게 되어 연평균 부패율은 5%이상으로 높다. 마늘의 저장중 병해충은 뿌리응애, 마늘혹응애, 마른썩음병 등으로 섭식에 따른 부패를 유발하며, 건조시기를 단축하고 효율적인 건조를 통하여 감모율을 줄이는 것이 중요하다. 마늘의 병해충 피해를 줄이기 위해 개발한 열풍 흡기식 건조장치를 포함하여 관행, 열풍 건조기, 흡기식 건조 등 4가지 방법으로 마늘을 건조하였으며, 방법별 건조소요 일수, 부패율 등을 조사하였다. 연구결과 열풍-흡기식 건조장치의 순환 공기의 온습도는 외기대비 7.8℃ 높았고, 28.6% 낮았으며, 건조 소요일수는 관행건조 대비 31% 수준으로 우수하였다. 또한 병해충 피해 양상은 관행 건조 대비 4.4%p낮아 건조 기간 및 정상품율이 관행 대비 우수하여, 관행 건조를 대체 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

As regulations on carbon emissions increase, the interest in renewable energy is also increasing. However, the efficiency of renewable energy generation is highly low and has limitations in replacing existing energy consumption. In terms of this view, nuclear power generation is highlighted because it has the advantage of not emitting carbon. And accordingly, the amount of spent nuclear fuel is going to increase naturally in the future. Therefore, it will be important to obtain the reliability of containers for transporting safely and storing spent nuclear fuel. In this study, a method for verifying the integrity and airtightness of a metal cask for the safe transportation and storage of spent nuclear fuel was studied. Non-destructive testing, thermal stability, leakage stability, and neutron shielding were demonstrated, and as a result, suitable quality for loading spent nuclear fuel could be obtained. Furthermore, it is meaningful in that it has secured manufacturing technology that can be directly applied to industrial field by verifying actual products.

This study investigated the changes in fruit quality characteristics and how they correlated with the storage conditions and storage period. The firmness of peaches stored in cold storage decreased rapidly after 14 days (13.0 N), but the firmness of peaches stored in CA storage remained high for 28 days (20.9 N). The titratable acidity of peaches stored in cold storage decreased rapidly from 0.23 to 0.26% after 21 days, but there was no change until 7 days for peaches stored in CA storage, and then it decreased to 0.23% after 28 days. The soluble solid content increased significantly as the storage period elapsed under cold storage, but there was no notable difference for CA storage. After 28 days of storage, the weight loss rate of peaches stored in CA storage(8%) was lower than peaches stored in cold storage( 23%). The was significant background color for peaches stored in cold storage after 7 days, and changed to a completely different color after 28 days of storage. As for the correlation between the quality characteristics of peach fruits stored at low temperatures, weight loss rate, sunny side ΔE value, background color lightness, background color redness, and ΔE value showed high correlations, and CA storage showed high correlations with weight loss rate and coloration. In conclusion, according to our study results, 'Kunika' peaches can be stored for 14 days in low-temperature storage and up to 28 days in CA storage, and it is thought that the weight loss rate, firmness, and coloration during storage can be used as factors for quality prediction.

2016년에 쌍별귀뚜라미는 식품의약품안전처 식품공전에 등록된 식품원료로 가장 큰 장점은 월동 없이 연중 대량 사육이 가능하다는 것과 60% 이상의 단백질 함량이다. 본 연구에서는 사육공간, 인건비 등의 문제로 인하여 귀뚜라미 사육이 불가능할 때를 대비하여 저장조건을 설정하 였으며, 산란율이 높은 산란처 선발과 알의 동종포식률을 조사하였다. 산란은 상토 산란처에서 가장 선호도가 높았으며(p < 0.05), 알의 동종포식 률을 보았을 때 10 L 당 종령 약충 62마리 이하, 1일 동안 산란을 받는 것이 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되었다(p < 0.05). 알의 저온 저장을 하였을 때는 28℃에서 10일간 보관 후 16℃에서 10일간 저온 저장했을 때 부화율이 가장 높았고, 저장을 하지 않았을 때와 비교하였을 때 12~14일 부 화를 연장할 수 있었다(p < 0.05). 쌍별귀뚜라미의 산란처, 산란 방법 및 알 저장조건을 설정함으로써 효율적인 생산방법을 제시하였다.

This study aims to investigate the food preservation methods adopted by the Joseon Dynasty, which existed before the 17th century. A total of 232 food preservation methods were discovered in 25 books, and could be classified by their targeted food types: vegetables (84), sea foods (60), meats (41), fruits (37), and others (10). Depending on the preservation method applied, they are classified as food drying, soaking, mud cellar preservation, and other preservation. Food drying is further classified into 8 sub-types: drying, sun-drying, shadow-drying, wind-drying, dry heat, combined drying, smoking, and others. Soaking could be sub-divided into using salt, ash, dry sand, bran, fermented paste, wet distillers grains, oil, and others. Mud cellar preservation is sub-classified into installing shelf inside the mud cellar, making the mud cellar for food preservation, and making hole or underground tunnel for food preservation. Other food preservation methods include minimizing moisture loss by applying beeswax on a section of the vegetable stem, and cutting the vegetables or fruits with their branches and leaves for food preservation.

Edible insects have gained recognition worldwide as complementary protein sources. Recently, four edible insects were newly allowed to be used as food materials in Korea: the mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), the cricket (Velarifictorus asperses), the white-spotted flower chaffer beetle larva (Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis), and the rhinoceros beetle larva (Allomyrina dichotoma). In this study, we evaluated the oxidative stabilities of these four edible insects during cold storage. The insects were sacrificed by blanching for 3 minutes in boiling water. The blanched insects were then stored at 4℃ in an incubator for 42 days. The color values, titratable acidity, peroxide values, acid values, TBARS, contents of VBN, and total plate counts of the insects were measured at days 0, 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42, respectively. Blanching decreases oxidative stresses during storage. At day 0, the white-spotted flower chaffer beetle larva showed the highest values for acid value, TBARS, VBN, and microbial counts. Most of the oxidative indicators were significantly changed at day 14 in all four insects, possibly related with the growth on all microbial plates. Based on microbial safety and the oxidative stabilities of lipids and proteins, optimal storage conditions for the cricket, the white-spotted flower chaffer beetle larva, and the rhinoceros beetle larva were 10~14 days at 4℃. Likewise, the mealworm showed rapid oxidation after day 14, but poor qualities were not observed until day 28.

Quality changes of carrots thermally processed in a large size (5 kg) retort pouch during 52 weeks of storage were investigated under different packaging methods and package shapes. To improve the efficiency of thermal processing (121.1oC, 0.15 MPa), the carrot (i.e., solid) and the broth (i.e., liquid) of the carrot soup were separately packed and sterilized. The quality changes of carrot packed without liquid were compared with those with liquid. Two different package shapes such as rectangular parallelepiped and cube were also evaluated to figure out the efficiency of the heat penetration rate for a large-sized pouch. The TTT (F0-values = 6) were 27, 54, and 114 min from the rectangular parallelepiped, cube, and solid/liquid mixed groups, respectively. In the mixed groups, the hardness and chewiness of solids (carrot) were significantly smaller than those measured in the other groups as TTT increased. Carrots treated in the rectangular parallelepiped shape showed a significantly higher texture than the cube shape. The CV of hardness and chewiness in the rectangular parallelepiped and the cube shape were calculated as 7.56 and 47.19, and 29.16 and 65.28, respectively. This demonstrated that a more uniform quality can be obtained from the rectangular parallelepiped shape.

Quality changes of carrots thermally processed in a large size (5 kg) retort pouch during 52 weeks of storage period were investigated upon different packaging methods and package shapes. To improve the efficiency of thermal processing (121.1°C, 0.15 MPa), the carrot (i.e., solid) and the broth (i.e., liquid) of carrot soup were separately packed and sterilized. The quality changes of carrot packed without liquid were compared with those with liquid. Two different package shapes such as rectangular parallelepiped and cube were also evaluate to figure out the efficiency of the heat penetration rate for the large size of pouch. The location of cold points and the total thermal processing time (TTT) were different upon the treatment. Fo-values, satisfying the TTT to at least 6 min, were 27, 54, and 114 min from the rectangular parallelepiped, cube and solid/liquid mixed group, respectively. In the mixed groups, the hardness and chewiness of solids (carrot) was significantly smaller than that measured in the other groups as TTT increased. Carrots treated in the rectangular parallelepiped shape showed a significantly higher texture than the cube shape for both immediately after the thermal treatment and during the storage period. Coefficient of variation (CV), which indicates the quality variation within the same treatment, of texture properties obtained from the outside and the center of the sample were compared to evaluate the quality variation within the same treatment. The CV of hardness and chewiness of the rectangular parallelepiped and the cube shape were calculated 7.56 and 47.19, and 29.16 and 65.28, respectively. This demonstrated that more uniform quality could be expected from the thermal treatment in the rectangular parallelepiped shape

포장방법에 따른 저장 중 신선편이 더덕의 전체적인 휘발성 향기성분의 변화를 질량분석기를 기반으로 한 전자코를 이용하여 향기성분의 패턴변화를 판별함수로 분석함으로써 품질변화를 판단하였다. 저장기간이 경과됨에 따라 향기성분이 변화하면서 휘발성 성분이 증가하고 저장 초기에는 DF1값에 큰 영향을 받았으며 저장 6일 째에는 DF2의 값에도 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. PE 필름으로 포장한 경우 저장 2일째부터 DF1의 음의 방향으로 급격히 이동되어 급격한 향기 성분의 패턴 변화가 일어났으며, PP 필름으로 저장한 경우에는 저장 4일에서 6일째에, 진공포장의 경우에는 저장 6일째에서 11일 째에 향기 패턴의 급격한 변화를 보였다. PP 필름으로 포장한 경우와 진공포장의 경우 저장 14일째까지 DF1에 의한 kinetics를 이용하여 품질 예측 가능에 이용할 수 있었다.

전통식품에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있는 현재 최근 막걸리에 대한 개발이 지속적으로 이루어지고 있다. 특히, 막걸리의 경우 유통 중 발효현상에 따른 저장 안정성이 중요하게 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 막걸리 저장을 위한 안정성에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 저장 시료로는 대조구 및 원심분리를 하여 얻은 상층액(SS), 침전물(SD)로 하였다. 저장 실험은 10oC에서 30일 동안 시행하였으며, 저장기간에 따라 취한 시료에 대해 이화학 분석 및 미생물 실험을 하였다. 그 결과 모든 시료군에 대해서 환원당은 10일째부터 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 산도 및 색도 경우 저장기간에 따라 지속적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 특히, 침전물 부분은 yellowness value가 저장 초기보다 2배 정도 증가하였다. 미생물의 경우 유산균은 저장기간이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 효모는 저장 15일 이후 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나 그 유의차는 크지 않았다. 이러한 변화는 원심분리한 후 저장한 시료군에 대하여 비교적 적게 나타났다. 따라서 분리저장 방법이 저장 유통 중 막걸리의 품질변화 개선 효과에 대해 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 향후 막걸리 제품에 대해 분리형 포장 기법이 막걸리 유통 안정성에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.

추출방법에 따른 기능성 성분을 분석한 결과 양파 착즙액의 경우 100oC에서 열수 추출한 시료에서 총 phenol, flavonoid, quercetin의 함량이 가장 높게 검출되었으며, 에탄올 추출 시 100oC에서 추출한 시료와 거의 유사한 농도의 기능성 성분이 검출되었다. 양파 추출액의 quercetin 함량은 총 flavonoid의 80-90%로 quercetin이 flavonoid의 대부분을 구성하는 것으로 확인되었다. 양파분말의 경우 착즙액과 비교하여 추출된 flavonoid와 quercetin 함량이 약간 높았지만, thiosulfinate는 약 40% 낮은 농도를 나타내어 동결건조 과정이 황화합물의 손실을 초래하는 것으로 나타났다. 양파 껍질은 육질에 비하여 60배 이상 높은 quercetin을 함유하고 있는 것으로 나타났으나, thiosulfinate는 껍질에서 검출되지 않았다. 양파 추출액의 살균조건에 따른 기능성 성분을 분석한 결과 60, 80, 105, 121oC의 열처리는 살균 전과 비교하여 기능성 성분의 함량에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 양파 추출액의 저장동안 총 phenol, flavonoid, quercetin 함량은 저장기간과 온도에 상관없이 안정적으로 유지되었으나, thiosulfinate는 저장 기간이 길어질수록 감소하였고 25oC에 저장한 경우 4oC에서 보다 급격히 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다.

김치를 10℃에서 8일간 숙성시켜 산도 0.6~0.7%로 숙성된 김치를 -70℃와 -20℃로 냉동하여 -20℃에서 저장하면서 배추 조직의 elasticity, hardness, 세포 조직의 변화, 드립양을 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. -70℃에서 급속 동결한 것과 -20℃에서 완만동결한 냉동 김치중 배추조직의 elasticity는 냉동저장 15일까지 감소하다 일정하게 유지되었고 hardness는 거의 변화가 없었으며 냉동 방법에 따른 변화도 거의 나타나지 않았다. 투과 전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과 control의 경우 세포벽이 매우 두꺼우며 세포의 모양들이 잘 보존되어 있는 것을 볼 수 있었고 -20℃로 냉동 처리하여 해동시킨 세포벽들은 많이 손상되어 있음을 볼 수 있었으며 -70℃로 급속 냉동 시료의 경우 세포벽의 손상 정도가 -20℃로 냉동 처리한 시료보다 덜 파괴되어 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 한편 냉동 저장기간 동안 드립의 손실량의 변화는 -70℃로 냉동 처리한 시료의 드립양은 3~4%정도로 -20℃로 냉동 처리한 시료의 5~6%에 비해 적은 것을 알 수 있었다.

In order to promote the prevention of microbial and enzymatic spoilage and to retain the freshness, sweet persimmons harvested in Gyeongsangnam-do were treated with grapefruit seed extract(GFSE)-CaCO₃ mixture and stored in the proper packaging conditions. A low concentration of GFSE showed effective growth inhibition of plant pathological bacteria and fungi, Enterobacter pyrinus and Fusarium sp., which were involved in the decay of fruits and vegetables. GFSE was stable to heat treatment; its antimicrobial activity was not changed by heat treatment upto 100℃. However, when the temperature was raised to 120℃, about 90% of total activity was retained within 30 min. GFSE was also highly stable to broad pH changes; its activity was not changed in the range of pH 2.0 to pH 12.0. The physiological function of cell membrane in the spores of Bacillus cereus and the hyphae of Fusarium sp. was destroyed by treating with GFSE. It was observed that treating sweet persimmons with GFSE mixture and storing them in strech-wrapped packages could prolong the freshness of sweet persimmons and reduce quality deterioration.

For improved preservation of boiled-dried anchovies, the current preservation method of corrugated-cardboard box packaging and freezing below - 18℃ was compared to the nylon/polyethylene(NY/PE) packaging along with cooling temperature ranging from 5℃ to 10℃ as well as ambient condition for eight months by determining physicochemical quality of stored samples. Lipid oxidation of stored anchovies and their browning increased with storage time. The phenomenon was delayed under the conditions of lower temperature and air-tight packaging. As quality-indicative criteria of stored anchovies, carbonyl value(r=-0.989), browning (r=-0.949) and color a value(r=-0.989), browning(r=-0.965), Hunter's color b value (r=-0.949) and color a value(r=-0.940) showed a highly-negative correlations with organoleptic qualities of the samples. Based on the above results, air-tight packaging in a laminated film and subsequent storage at cooling temperature was found to be a possible alternative to the current freezing-storage of boiled-dried anchovies from the physicochemical point of view.
