In order to utilize Citrus peel as fermentative substrate of microorganisms, enzymatic saccharification of Citrus peel by the crude enzyme of Aspergillus sp. GF 015 isolated and identified from nature was investigated. When the fungus was cultured at $27^{\circ}C$ for 3 days in wheat bran medium containing 0.6% $NH_4NO_3$ and 0.05% $KH_2PO_4$, the maximal production of the enzyme was observed. Optimal conditions for enzymatic reaction of crude enzyme were 15ml(97.5 unit)/g of enzyme solution to Citrus peel powder ratio, pH4.0, $45^{\circ}C$ of temperature and 12 hours of reaction time. As the result of saccharifying Citrus peel under optimum conditions, reducing sugar on the weight of dry matter was formed 60.2% and saccharifying rate was 76.3%. The sugar solution obtained were mainly composed of glucose, xylose and galacturonic acid. Hydrolyzing enzymes produced by Aspergillus sp. GF 015 were pectinase, cellulase and xylanase.

The changes of freshness from the several transportation methods and the effect of low temperature transportation for Satsuma Mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc. Var. okitsu) fruit were investigated to get informations on keeping freshess and good taste. There were 695 lower in fresh weight, 1.91mg lower in vitamin C and 20% higher in sugar acid rate for citrus fruit after room temperature (17$^{\circ}C$) transportation than low temperature transportation (5$^{\circ}C$), respectively. The loss of freshness md tasting was caused by the weight loss of citrus fruit because the sugar acid rate was increased in room temperature (from 16.11 to 21.75). Therefore, it is desirable for citrus fruit to transport in low temperature to keep high quality and freshness.

The acreage of tangerines in the U.S. sharply rose from 19,000 ha in 2009 to 27,000 ha in 2016, an increase of 42% in 7 years. Considering the recent surge in tangerine exports to Japan, the export volume of 6-7 thousand tons is highly likely to increase in the future. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the economic impact of U.S. tangerine imports on the Korean citrus industry under various scenarios. In order to examine the possibility of imports of U.S. tangerines, the unit price of U.S. exports to Japan was used since U.S. tangerines are not imported to South Korea. Citrus fruits are divided into field citrus, house citrus, and late-maturing citrus (including winter season citrus) based on the cultivation method and variety used to analyze. Considering both the field and house seasons, the import volume of U.S. tangerines can be expected to rise from roughly 4,700 tons in 2021 to 10,000 tons in 2027. Imports of U.S. tangerines may be pushed up or delayed depending not only on the harvest method and quality of domestic field and house citrus but also on the harvest of U.S. tangerines. However, it is necessary to note that tangerines could be imported after 2021, when the tariff rate on U.S. tangerines will fall below 50%.

Citrus fruits harvested in 1979 were collected from markets scattered in Jeju and Seogwipo area on Jeju island and also from citrus orchards with five, ten, fifteen, twenty, and thirty years of cultivation history. Organophorous insecticides and organochloro acaricides in the pulp of fruits were analysed by gas liquid chromatograph. It was found that EPN and Kelthane were most significant residues found in the citrus fruits in terms of both level and frequency of occurrence. Among citrus fruits collected from various markets, EPN was detected in 28% of the fruits samples in the range of 0.009 to 0.025 ppm, while Kelthane, at lower level, was found in all citrus fruits in the range of trace to 0.007 ppm. Residue levels of citrus fruits from orchards of various cultivated periods, in general, confirmed those of the fruits collected from commercial markets. However, residues of Kelthane in the citrus fruits tended to increase with orchards having longer cultivation history.

Citrus is an economically important fruit tree with the largest amount of fruit production in the world. It provides important nutrition such as vitamin C and other health-promoting compounds including its unique flavonoids for human health. However, it is classified into the most difficult crops to develop new cultivars through conventional breeding approaches due to its long juvenility and some unique reproductive biological features such as gamete sterility, nucellar embryony, and high level of heterozygosity. Due to global warming and changes in consumer trends, establishing a systematic and efficient breeding programs is highly required for sustainable production of high quality fruits and diversification of cultivars. Recently, reference genome sequences of sweet orange and clementine mandarin have been released. Based on the reference whole-genome sequences, comparative genomics, reference-guided resequencing, and genotyping-by-sequencing for various citrus cultivars and crosses could be performed for the advance of functional genomics and development of traits-related molecular markers. In addition, a full understanding of gene function and gene co-expression networks can be provided through combined analysis of various transcriptome data. Analytic information on whole-genome and transcriptome will provide massive data on polymorphic molecular markers such as SNP, INDEL, and SSR, suggesting that it is possible to construct integrated maps and high-density genetic maps as well as physical maps. In the near future, integrated maps will be useful for map-based precise cloning of genes that are specific to citrus with major agronomic traits to facilitate rapid and efficient marker-assisted selection.

Citrus is an economically important fruit crop widely growing worldwide. However, citrus production largely depends on natural hybrid selection and bud sport mutation. Unique botanical features including long juvenility, polyembryony, and QTL that controls major agronomic traits can hinder the development of superior variety by conventional breeding. Diverse factors including drastic changes of citrus production environment due to global warming and changes in market trends require systematic molecular breeding program for early selection of elite candidates with target traits, sustainable production of high quality fruits, cultivar diversification, and cost-effective breeding. Since the construction of the first genetic linkage map using isozymes, citrus scientists have constructed linkage maps using various DNA-based markers and developed molecular markers related to biotic and abiotic stresses, polyembryony, fruit coloration, seedlessness, male sterility, acidless, morphology, fruit quality, seed number, yield, early fruit setting traits, and QTL mapping on genetic maps. Genes closely related to CTV resistance and flesh color have been cloned. SSR markers for identifying zygotic and nucellar individuals will contribute to cost-effective breeding. The two high quality citrus reference genomes recently released are being efficiently used for genomics-based molecular breeding such as construction of reference linkage/physical maps and comparative genome mapping. In the near future, the development of DNA molecular markers tightly linked to various agronomic traits and the cloning of useful and/or variant genes will be accelerated through comparative genome analysis using citrus core collection and genome-wide approaches such as genotyping-by-sequencing and genome wide association study.

This study is conducted to investigate the effects of anaerobic treatments of swine manure slurry alone and combination of livestock manure slurry and fruit pomace on biogas production. Anaerobic co-digestion was evaluated in mesophilic tank reactors for 96 day-incubation period. The organic matter loading of anaerobic digestion was 1 kg of volatile solids(VS) per $1m^3{\cdot}day$. The highest methane production was achieved from the combination of swine manure slury and mandarin pomace(70:30) treatment, whereas the lowest daily and cumulative methane yields was observed in swine manure slurry alone treatment. More than two-fold increase in bio-gas and methane production was obtained by combination of livestock manure slurry and mandarin pomace treatment, compared to the swine manure slurry alone treatment. The co-digestion of livestock manure and fruits pomace has advantages to enhance the production of methane gas, compared to digestion of swine manure slurry alone.

The purpose of this study is to investigate price transmissions between wholesale and retail markets regarding Jeju tangerines by employing co-integration analysis and vector error correction model. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, the long-run equilibrium relationship was found among wholesale and retail markets in time series for level by distribution channel. Second, a short-run causality relationship was observed between wholesale and retail markets. Third, the long-run causality relationship between wholesale market and retail markets was found bidirectional and feedback effect. These results imply that the wholesale price performs a central role in establishing price in the tangerine market, and the wholesale market influences tangerine price. In conclusion, for the development of a competitive tangerine industry, it is necessary to aggressively promote the policy of supply and demand control of tangerine production through organizing producers.

제주산 감귤생산량은 51만톤(2016년)으로 수확기에 장마 등과 같은 환경적 요인에 의해 결점과의 비율이 24.9% 정도이다. 결점과로 통칭되는 비상품과는 일부 대기업의 쥬스공장에서 수매하는 량을 제외한 대부분은 자체 농장에서 폐기처분되고 있어 많은 감귤 비상품과 처리에 많은 문제점이 노출되어 오고있다. 성주군에서는 결점과 및 비상품과가 시장에 출하되는 것을 방지하기 위하여 자체 수매하여 액비, 발효퇴비, 사료화 가공 등에 많은 비용을 투자하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 당도가 15 Brix에 달하는 고당도 감귤 및 참외의 비상품과를 효과적으로 착즙하여 감귤 착즙액은 생산농자재로 환원하고, 참외 착즙액은 참외조청용 원료로 사용하는 기술을 개발하고자 한다. 착즙장치는 PLATE형 스크류, 테퍼 스크류 하우징, 파쇄된 과즙을 마지막 단계인 압입하는 고깔부 및 동력을 공급하는 구동부로 구성하였다. 개발한 고액분리 착즙장치의 외형은 $W1,000{\times}L2,000{\times}H1,070$이고 사용동력은 0,75kw, 1/30 감속모터를 사용하였다. 일반적인 착즙장치는 1단 분쇄와 동일 원통형의 스크류 압착으로 고액분리를 위한 착즙이 이루어지기 때문에 처리량이 150kg/hr에 불과하지만 개발한 고액분리장치는 2차 분쇄와 원통형과 원추형의 스크류 압착 후 고액분리망을 통과하도록 하여 500kg/hr 이상을 착즙이 가능하도록 개발하였다. 따라서 농산물의 고액분리를 통한 농산물의 가공을 위한 연속 착즙 장치는 2단 분쇄와 원통형 및 원추형 압착 미세망을 이용한 고액분리 착즙기는 기존 착즙기에 비하여 처리량이 3배 이상 증가되었다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 기존 감귤 착즙기의 수율은 60%정도이나 개발 착즙기의 착즙 수율은 66.5%로 나타나 본 연구에서 개발한 착즙기의 수율이 기존 착즙기의 수율보다 약간 높게 나타났다. 기존 착즙기는 원료(농산물의 종류)의 종류나 전처리에 제한이 있어 전용으로 사용하는데 비해 본 연구에서 개발한 고액분리 착즙기는 원료의 종류나 전처리 상태에 관계없이 사용 가능함을 확인하였다.
