흰점박이꽃무지(Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis) 유충을 사육상자(가로 543 × 세로 363 × 높이 188 mm) 안에서 뽕나무 발효톱밥 기반 사료 를 이용하여 집단으로 사육할 때(25°C, 16:8 L:D), 투입될 수 있는 갓 부화한 유충의 밀도를 검토하였다. 100-175마리 투입구는 90일후 생존율 이 80% 이상으로 사육밀도 사이에 차이가 없었다. 그러나 200마리 밀도에서는 생존율이 약 10% 이상 감소하였다. 100-150마리 밀도에서 유충 평균 무게는 처리 밀도 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 175마리와 200마리 밀도에서는 100마리 밀도에 비해 유충 무게가 유의하게 낮았다. 사 육밀도가 낮을수록 유충 무게가 더 빨리 증가하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 100-150마리가 처음 투입밀도로 적절하다고 판단하였다. 두 번째 실험으로, 종령 유충을 저온에 보관하는 조건을 검토하였다. 종령 유충을 4개의 무게 집단(1.8-2.0, 2.0-2.3, 2.3-2.5, 2.5 g 이상)으로 구분하여 4, 8, 10°C에 보관하였을 때, 4°C에서는 70일 보관된 유충들은 무게에 관계없이 모두 사망하였다. 그러나 8°C에서는 70일 보관집단에서 약 80%의 유충이 생존하였다. 보관하는 유충의 무게가 무거울수록 생존율이 높았다. 4°C 보관에서는 무게가 2.3 g 이상인 유충을 50일까지 보관한 후 우화 한 성충들만 적은 수의 산란을 하였다. 8°C와 10°C 처리에서는 유충 무게에 관계 없이 모두 산란을 하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 무게가 2.3 g 이상 인 흰점박이꽃무지 종령 유충을 8°C에서 30-50일 범위에서 저장할 수 있다고 판단하였다.

본 연구는 ‘스마트꿀’ 참외를 수확 후 ascorbic acid (AA) 및 salicylic acid (SA) 침지 처리와 PE film 처리가 저온저장(10℃) 중 과골 갈변 발생과 과실품질 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 참외 과실의 저장기간 동안 과골 갈변 발생 정도는 무처리 과실의 경우 저장기간 동안 꾸준히 증가하여 저장 15일후 3.8 수준으로 증가하였으나, PE film 처리 과실은 저장 15일후 2.7 수준으로 낮은 과골 갈변 증상을 보였다. 참외 과실의 고유색을 나타내는 황색 과피의 황색도(b*)의 경우, 무처리 과실은 저장 15일 후 38.1로 감소하였으나, PE film 처리 과실은 저장 15일 후에도 39.8로 높은 황색도를 보였다. 흰색 과골 명도(L*)는 무처리 과실은 저장 15일 후 67.9로 감소하였으나, PE film 처리 과실은 72.9로 높게 유지되었다. 그리고 흰색 과골 적색도(a*)의 변화는 무처리 과실의 경우 저장 15일 후 1.0으로 증가하였나, PE film 처리 과실은 저장 15일 후에도 –1.4 이었으며, AA 처리 과실 역시 –0.5로 적색도 변화를 효율적으로 억제하였다. 가용성 고형물 함량은 무처리 과실은 저장기간 동안 점차 감소하였으나 PE film, AA 및 SA 처리 과실들은 거의 변화가 없었다. 그리고 과실 중량감소율은 무처리 과실은 저장 15일 후 1.98%이었으나, PE film 처리 과실은 1.33%로 가장 낮은 중량감소율을 나타내었다. 따라서 ‘스마트꿀’ 참외를 저장 및 유통할 때 과골 갈변 발생과 과색 및 품질의 변화를 억제하는데 PE film 처리가 효과를 보여 처리방법에 대한 효율적인 적용 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다고 판단되었다.

본 연구는 정수압 처리와 초음파 처리가 20일 숙성기간 동안 돈육의 삼겹살과 목살 부위의 품질특성에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 다양한 품질특성을 관찰한 결과 정수압에서 숙성하고 초음파 처리한 돈육은 부위별로 효과의 차이는 있지만, 품질향상에 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며 또한, 초음파 처리했을 때 특히 고기의 연도와 관계가 있는 pH, 보수력, 경도 품질을 높이는 것으로 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서 이용한 저온 정수압 숙성 및 초음파 처리공정은 낮은 온도에서 돈육을 빠른 시간안에 숙성하는데 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Effect of 6kg large unit with the carton box (20% open ratio) and MA box (10,000cc·m-2·day-1·atm-1 oxygen transmission rates modified atmosphere package), and the 100g small unit with MA film on asparagus sensory quality were evaluated. The CO2 concentration depended largely on the packing unit and maintained at around 3% in small MA packages, whereas in the MA box increased to 12%. Ethylene concentration rapidly increased until after 3 days of storage in MA packages and then decreased to maintain 5μL·L-1. Unrelated to the unit size, the lower weight loss was obtained in MA packages. A significant difference in visual quality was shown since the 15th day, the best and worst were the MA box and small MA package on the finish day. Off-odor was the highest in small MA packages and the lowest in the carton box (< 3.0). Although there was no significant difference in firmness among all treatments, the packages showed the highest firmness in tips and stems, respectively. The sugar content and hue angle decreased during storage, but there was no statistical difference in all treatments. EL was lowest and highest in small MA package and carton box, respectively. On the 10th day, the total aerobic bacteria was lowest in small MA packages, but no significant difference on the 20th day. E. coli was not found in all treatments on the 10th day, while it was the lowest in the MA box on the 20th day. The mold and yeast were not observed during the whole storage. Based on the above results, the carton box packaged with 10,000cc OTR film was more effective in maintaining the quality of green asparagus with the suitable CO2 concentration for asparagus cold storage.

In this study, pH, oBrix, salt concentration, sodium content, color, hardness, and sensory evaluations were measured during storage at low temperatures for 21 days after making tongue sole Jangajji with different types of Gochujang sauces. The pH was higher than those of samples not containing Maesil fermented liquor at all storage periods. The oBrix of the Maesil fermented liquor added samples was higher than that of the samples not added at the early stages of storage. On the other hand, there was no significant difference between the samples with and without Maesil fermented liquor at the later stages of storage. The sodium content was lower than that of the samples not containing Maesil fermented liquor. The lightness (L) was lower in the early stages of storage than those of the Maesil fermented liquor. In the late stage of storage, however, the lightness was higher than those of the samples not containing Maesil fermented liquor. The redness (a) of the GRWO sample group showed the highest value at all storage periods compared to the other sample groups. The yellowness (b) of the GRWO sample group was high at the early stages of storage. On the 21st day of storage, however, the GRW sample group was significantly higher (p<0.01). The hardness results showed that the value of the later storage period was lower than that at the initial storage stage. The sensory evaluation showed that the Maesil fermented liquor reduced the spicy, salty, bitter, and unpleasant taste. As a result of the acceptance test, the GRWO and GRW samples were evaluated as the acceptance group with color, aroma, texture and overall acceptability compared to the brown rice Gochujang sample group.

본 연구는 UVc 처리, 열수처리와 고 CO2 처리가 저온저장으로 인해 발생하는 저온장해 현상에 미치는 영향을 비교하고, 소량으로 다른 작물과 혼합 선적할 때 유지되는 5oC 이하의 저장 유통에 적용할 수 있는지 알아 보기 위해 수행하였다. 각각의 처리 후 20일간 저온저장 후 상온에 5일간 저장하였다. 생체중은 MAP 조건이었던 고 CO2 처리구를 제외한 나머지 처리구에서 상온 저장후 급격히 감소하였으며, 에틸렌은 주기적으로 3% 내외의 수치를 보였다. 고 CO2 처리구는 저장 종료일인 25일에는 약 33%의 고 CO2 농도를 나타냈다. 저장 최 종일에 측정한 경도는 통계적 유의성은 없었으나, 저온 장해 현상이 완화되었던 열수처리에서 높았다. 저온장해 정도의 지표가 되는 전해질 용출량은 저온장해 발생온도 인 4oC에서는 고 CO2 처리구에서 가장 높았으며, 열수 처리와 UVc처리구에서 가장 낮았는데, 비저온장해 대조 구(7oC)와 유사한 수준이었다. 또한 저장최종일에 측정한 호흡률에서는 열수처리가 가장 낮아 저온장해가 완화 되었음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 저온장해 완화 효과를 보인 열수처리와 UVc 처리는 소량으로 다른 작물과 혼합 선적할 때 유지되는 5oC 이하의 저장 유통에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Fresh oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) were gamma-irradiated at 0, 1, 2, and 3 kGy. The effects on various quality attributes were determined during storage at . Color changes were more prominent in the cap region than the stem part. At the start of storage increase of Hunter's L-value (lightness) was observed in the caps of 2 and 3 kGy-irradiated samples. The L-value was higher in the all irradiated samples during storage. The trend was different in the case of stem region, where L-value decreased upon irradiation, but remained high throughout storage. The -value declined, whereas the b-value increased following irradiation. Irradiation showed a dose-dependent effect on the firmness, which was clearer during storage, but the samples irradiated at 1 kGy maintained an overall better texture than other irradiated samples. The weight loss was also higher in the all irradiated samples during storage. The samples irradiated at 1 kGy showed good physical appearance without any fungal attack at the end of storage; however color change in cap region was quite apparent. The ultra-structural drastic effect of irradiation was understandable using scanning electron microscopy. E-nose analysis demonstrated a clear change in the volatile profiles of all irradiated samples. Although the effect of irradiation on quality characteristics was quite clear but the all irradiated samples were free from fungal attack that was observed in the case of control sample.

느타리버섯의 생육단계에서 재배온도 및 상대습도를 조절하여 선도 유지 기간을 연장하기 위해 수행한 결과, 생육온도별 저장기간에 따른 버섯의 수분함량은 상대습도가 낮은 처리에서 다소 낮았다. 생육조건별 중량감모율은 저장기간이 길수록 증가하였으며, 처리간 큰 차이 없었고, 갓신장율은 저온생육시에는 상대습도 95±5% 처리에서 저장 21일에 가장 높았으며, 대조구에서는 상대습도 80±5% 처리에서는 저장 24일에 가장 높았다. 버섯의 물성을 분석한 결과, 경도와 탄성은 저장기간이 길수록 낮아지는 경향이었으며, 상대습도 및 생육온도에 의한 차이는 거의 없었다. 따라서, 느타리버섯을 발이유기 후 생육온도 13℃, 상대습도 80%이상으로 조절하여 생육하여 250~300g 랩포장하여 4±1℃에 저장 했을때 24일까지 신선도를 유지할 수 있었다.

This study was carried to investigate the suitable conditions of Pleurotus eryngii through precooling for the more long-term freshness. The time to be same temperatures between P. eryngii and storage room through precooling at 0℃ and 4℃ were showed 2 hours and 5.5 hours, respectively. P. eryngii was cooled within 6 hours and 18 hours at 0℃ and 4℃ with two type, forced air cooling and pressure cooling. After precooling, P. eryngii was packed 400±10g with anti-fog film, and then stored at 4±1℃. In all treatment of precooling, the weight loss was peaked at 25 days and hardness of P. eryngii were decreased at 10 days during storage. There were no significant freshness differences between precooling type and conditions. It was found that the optimum stored period of P. eryngii at 4℃ after precooling was estimated to be 30~35days. Consequently, it is necessary to elucidate efficient and economic precooling conditions.

In order to establish an indoor-rearing system for A. Alcinous, the effect of temperature and pupal diapause was investigated. Temperature has been suggested as an important factor in determining the developmental rate, Lifespan and mortality in invertebrates. As temperature increase, the developmental period was gradually reduced. The developmental period of A. alcinous larvae was 12.9 days and 25.8 days at 30℃ and 20℃, respectively. And we investigated the effect of different chilling days on diapause termination. Under longday condition(LD 16:8h, 20℃) oxygen consumption gradually increase. But oxygen consumption on the first day of pupa was the highest and rapidly fell down the next day and attained lowest point after 7days, with average value of 1.92mol/min/g under shortday condition(LD 8:16h). Diapause pupae were chilled for 60, 75, 90, 105 days at 8℃ and thereafter subjected to LD 16:8h at 25℃. And emergence rate at 60~90days was 57.1~80.7%.

This study was conducted to investigate effect of low temperature and ripeness stages on fruit quality of chilli pepper (cv. Nockgwang) during storage at 5, 7, and 10 . Fruits ℃ at three ripeness stages were selected based on uniform fruit size and three maturities on peel color: S1 (fully developed fruit just before the onset of ripening), S2 (fruits in the onset of color change), and S3 (fruits in completely red in color). Lower temperature attributed to increase fruit weight loss (WL) and WL was higher in S2 than the other ripeness stages. The highest respiration rate and ethylene production was found at S2 fruit while those of fruit in green and red showed similar and remained lower level during storage. Electrolyte leakage (EL) was higher as storage temperature decreased. After 28 d storage, EL rates of fruits at 5℃ were 43, 36, and 17% in S1, S2, and S3 while those at 10℃ were 17, 19, and 14%, respectively. These results show that chilli pepper fruits are tended to lose more water at lower temperature partially associated with increased EL. Thus, threshold storage temperature must be considered for avoiding chilling during storage and for extending the storage life of fresh pepper fruits.

A commercial egg parasitoid, Trichogramma sp. Nabis101, was released into agricultural cultivating areas in Korea due to its wide host spectrum against insect pests. Moreover, an application technique has been recently developed to enhance its control efficacy by mixture treatment with a microbial control agent. Despite its expansion of commercial availability, any genetic identification on this commercial strain was not determined. Also, to meet inconsistent demands from consumers, the live parasitoids need to be stored without significant loss of their survival and parasitic activity. This study determined nucleotide sequence of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the wasp species. The identified ITS sequences indicate that this wasp species is most similar to T. brasiliensis. Optimal storage condition of this wasp required young parasitized stage at 10℃. Under these conditions, survival, sex ratio, longevity, and parasitic behavior were not much impaired for 5 weeks.

In this study we attempted to analyze the change of protein and mycelial activity during low temperature storage progressed. At first, esterase and peroxidase isozymes were detected at third and fourth subculture in Pleurotus ostreatus and peroxidase isozymes in Pleurotus eryngii were detected at first and second subculture but esterase isozymes showed almost same band patterns subculture advanced. The decolorization ratio of media color including indicator were decreased according to subculture advanced in P. ostreatus and P. eryngii. However there were not significantly difference of mycelial growth, fruit body yield, esterase isozyme band pattern and laccase activity of P. eryngii according to storage periods at low temperature. Therefore, it was possible to store sawdust spawn of P. eryngii at 4℃ for 120days.
