In this study, the emission characteristics of volatile and odorant species released from salted meat product (Spam) was investigated as a function of time. Gas samples released from Spam samples were analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and sulfur compounds (RSC) at five different times for the elapsed (E) days of 0, 1, 3, 6, and 9 (E-0 to E-9) by GC/MS and GC/PFPD system, respectively. Results indicated that reduced sulfur, aldehyde, and ketone groups were the dominant odorants. Especially, hydrogen sulfide was the predominant in concentration and odor activity value (OAV) during the fresh stage. Its concentration was 1465 ${\mu}g/m^3$ (60.0% of the total mass) in E-0 and 455 ${\mu}g/m^3$ (28.0%) in E-1, while its OAV was 19.4 (78.3%: E-0) and 6.02 (41.7%: E-1). On the other hand, the concentration of acetone showed the maximum values in the decaying stage (E-3: 451 (43.2%), E-6: 369 (64.2%), and E-9: 1150 ${\mu}g/m^3$ (70.2%)). Furthermore, the concentration of 2,3-butanedione was also detected considerably from decaying sample (E-3: 17.6 (1.68%), E-6: 16.1 (2.80%), and E-9: 179 ${\mu}g/m^3$ (10.9%)). However, OAV of acetone was insignificant (<0.01%) in the decaying stage, while that of 2,3-butanedione was relatively high in the range of 1.14-11.6 (14.5-76.2% of ${\Sigma}OAV$). It thus confirmed that the major odorant groups generated from Spam samples changed with the progress of decay such as sulfur (fresh stage), aldehyde (intermediate stage), and ketone compounds (decaying stage).

This study was conducted to compare the effect of salicylic acid (SA), an ethylene biosynthesis inhibitor, and the 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) fumigation, to prevent fruit quality deterioration and physiological disorders during the shelf-life of Korea's leading export grape variety 'Campbell Early'. The berries treated with SA after 1-MCP fumigation (1-MCP+SA) showed a higher firmness value and titratable acidity than single treatment of SA or 1-MCP. The rate of shattered berry was high as 41.7% for 100ppm ethephon spray, 40.8% for $25{\mu}M$ SA, and 38.2% for 1,000ppb 1-MCP, but showing only 18.7% when the SA was applied after 1-MCP fumigation. The ratio of short brushes less than 1mm was largest at 74.3% for ethephon treatment, while 1-MCP+SA treatment was found to have the longest brush length among all treatments, with a 2-4mm ratio of 22.8% and a 4-6mm ratio of 27.9%. The weight of rachis was found to be the lowest at 2.3g in the ethephon treatment, and the reduction of rachis weight loss per cluster by 1-MCP+SA treatment was evident. In addition, 1-MCP+SA treatment were effective in mitigating stem browning and berry decay during the 16-day storage period at $19^{\circ}C$ in this cultivar, so it is believed that they can be used as a practical post-harvest treatment in grape exportation.

Several domestically consumed sweetpotato derivatives, such as sweetpotato starch for processing raw materials, frozen and refrigerated paste, and powder are dependent on imports. This study was conducted to examine the suitability of sweetpotato cultivars of twelve varieties (powdery-type and viscous type) cultivated in paddy fields, for use in starch, chips, dried products, and beverages. The two-year average yield results of the four cultivars suitable for starch (in order of highest to lowest yield) was as follows: Gogeonmi (4,018 kg/10a); Daeyumi (3,615 kg/10a); Jinhongmi (3,426 kg/10a); Singeonmi (2,837 kg/10a). The starch content was 20.2%, 18.2%, 21.2%, and 20.6% in Daeyumi, Gogeonmi, Singeonmi, and Jinghongmi, respectively. The total amount of starch was higher in Daeyumi (730 kg/10a) and Gogeonmi (731 kg/10a) than that in Singeonmi and Jinghongmi. The yield of Pungwonmi and Shinjami were 4,443 and 3,602 kg/10a, respectively. Powdery-type sweetpotatoes (Daeyumi and Gogeonmi) showed the low decay rates of all cultivars (0.8 and 0%, respectively). The yield of the storage root formation and storage root swelling stages by water-logging treatment decreased by 16.5% and 15.4% for Pungwonmi, and by 17.2% and 10.0% for Shinjami. Drainage management of paddy fields is necessary to reduce the damage caused by water-logging. Our results suggest that cultivation of sweetpotato varieties suitable for processing raw materials in paddy fields will enable stable yields of sweetpotato with a high starch content.

The effects of packaging methods on the storage properities of salted Chinese cabbage were examinined during 3-week storage. The weights of salted Chinese cabbage decreased to 69-77% by water loss and salinities decreased from 2.6% to 2.0%, respectively. The pH decreased from 6.4 to 6.2 for 1- week storage in all cases, but the pH increased to 6.6 in non packaging(Non-P), maintained at 6.2 in PVC container packaging(PVC), and decreased continuously to 5.5 and 5.7 in LDPE packaging (LDPE) and HDPE packaging(HDPE), repectively for 3-week storage. Reducing sugars increased slightly for 1-week storage for the relative concentration effect by water loss, but decreased to 1.8% for 3-week storage because of the microbial fermentation. Cutting force increased in LDPE for the continuous osmosis phenomena but decreased in Non-P for the putrefaction. As the results, LDPE was found to be the most effective packaging method.

The effects of packaging methods on the storage quality of minimally processed (prepeeled) onions were investigated to determine the optimal packing design. Various packaging treatments used for modifying headspace atmospheres included two passive MAP using LDPE and PP films, two active MAP using a gas mixture of 20% $O_2/10%\;CO_2/balance\;N_2$ and an ethylene scavenging sachet, and moderate vacuum packaging (MVP). The quality attributes of onion samples were evaluated periodically in terms of flesh weight loss, color of cut surface, decay ratio, microbial counts, and sensory properties during storage at $10^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. Packaging methods did not significantly influence surface color, weight loss, and microbiological populations of mesophiles, psychrotrophs, and lactic acid bacteria. They did, however, affect sensory characteristics as well as decay occurrence. Results indicated that seal-packaging with a gas-permeable plastic film under a mild vacuum condition could retain better onion quality in terms of microbial decay and visual sensory aspects as compared with the other packages.

This study was established to investigate the effects of Ca application on fruit mineral nutrients, quality, and browning of 'Fuyu' sweet persimmon (Diospyros kaki). Ca foliar application at 40ml/20L/tree had a greater fruit Ca concentration than did control, Ca fertigation (40ml/20L/tree), and Ca foliar application (40ml/20L/tree) coupled with IBA fertigation (40ml/20L/tree). Fruit mineral nutrient concentrations for Mg, B, and Mn were similar or lower in the foliar treatment compared to other treatments. Fruit color was not affected. Ca treatment, whether foliar applied or fertigated, was effective in maintaining fruit firmness and in decreasing the browning symptom in fruit after MA storage at $0^{\circ}C$ for 60 and 100 days. Although Ca foliar application + IBA fertigation treatment improved fruit firmness, the positive effect on the browning and decay occurrences in fruit was not shown.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of chlorine water and plasma gas treatment on the quality and microbial control of Latuca indica L. baby Leaf during storage. Latuca indica L. baby leaves were harvested from a plant height of 10cm. They were sterilized with $100{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ chlorine water and plasma-gas (1, 3, and 6hours), and packaged with $1,300cc{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}{\cdot}atm^{-1}$ films and then stored at $8{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and RH $85{\pm}5%$ for 25days. During storage, the fresh weight loss of all treatments were less than 1.0%, and the carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations in packages were 6-8% and 16-17%, respectively for all treatments in the final storage day. The concentration of ethylene in the packages fluctuated between $1-3{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ during the storage and the highest concentration of ethylene was observed at 6 hours plasma treatment in the final storage day. The off-odor of all treatments were almost odorless, the treatments of chlorine water and 1 hour plasma maintained the marketable visual quality until the end of storage. Chlorophyll content and Hue angle value measured at the final storage day were similar to those measured before storage in chlorine water and 1 hour of plasma treatments. E. coli was not detected immediately after sterilization in all sterilization treatments. After 6 hours of plasma treatment, the total bacteria fungus counts were lower than the domestic microbial standard for agricultural product in all sterilization treatments. The total aerobic counts in the end storage day increased compared to before storage, whereas E. coli was not detected in all sterilization treatments. The sterilization effect against bacteria and fungi was the best in chlorine water treatment. Plasma treatment showed sterilization effects, but within a prolonged period of time. In addition, the sterilization effect decreased gradually. These results suggest that chlorine water and plasma treatment were effective in maintaining Latuca indica L. baby Leaf commerciality and controlling microorganisms during postharvest storage.

우리나라 음식물 폐기물은 수분함량 및 유기물 함량이 높기 때문에 부패와 악취, 침출수의 원인이 된다. 하지만 이를 혐기 소화 처리한다면 구성성분에 따라 60-80%가 생분해되어(한국유기성폐자원학회, 2001) 친환경적으로 처리가능하고, 혐기소화 결과물로 발생한 메탄가스를 대체에너지로 사용할 수 있어 유기물을 효과적으로 처리할 수 있다. 그러나 유기성 폐기물은 계절 및 지역에 따라 구성성분의 비가 다르며, 성분 중 지방 함량이 많을 때 바이오가스 생산이 지연되어 생산효율 감소의 주된 원인이 된다(Kafle and Kim, 2013). 전국음식물 폐기물 중 지방함량이 높은 어육류의 발생량은 3차 조사(환경부, 2008)에 비해 2배 이상 증가하였고, 향후 음식 섭취의 서구화로 인한 육류 소비가 증가할 것으로 예상된다(환경부, 2013). 따라서 본 연구는 지방함량이 높은 유기물의 효율적 처리를 위해 지방산 종류에 따라 포화 불포화 지방산을 포함하는 부산물의 혐기소화 능력 및 바이오가스 생산 성능을 구명하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구 결과, 불포화 지방산 함량이 높은 수준인 부산물의 바이오가스는 629.96-749.14 mL/g VS 이며, 포화 지방산 함량이 높은 수준의 부산물은 560.18-715.43 mL/g VS 였다. 불포화 지방산 함량이 25.31%-46.26%로 많아질수록 초기 순응기간은 13일에서 25일로 증가하였고, 총 바이오가스 생산량의 90%가 생산되는 기간인 T90은 57일에서 72일로 증가하여 바이오가스 생산 속도가 감소한 것으로 판단된다. 포화 지방산은 함량이 24.10-48.74%로 증가할수록 초기 순응기간의 변화는 없었고, T90은 69일에서 62일로 감소하였다. 또한 불포화 지방산이 많은 유기물은 모두 바이오가스 생산 과정에서 2단계의 지연현상을 보였지만, 포화지방산은 함량이 증가하여도 1단계의 지연현상을 보였다. 이러한 차이는 두 지방산에 관여하는 미생물의 차이(Diana, 2007)와 불포화 지방산의 굴곡된 형태가 지방산과 미생물이 상호 작용 방식에 악영향 미치기 때문으로 판단된다(Diana, 2013). 결론적으로, 두 지방산의 소화 방식은 차이가 있으며, 불포화 지방산 함량이 많은 유기물은 탄수화물 함량이 많은 유기물을 10% 이상 혼합하여 지연상을 감소시킬수 있다(Kim, 2017). 포화 지방산 함량이 많은 유기물은 초기 지연 현상 해결을 위한 연구가 추가적으로 요구된다.
