With adding cryoprotectants to red pepper paste and strawberry pulp, the effects of freezing point depression and the energy requirement for storage at $-15^{\circ}C$ were studied. In case of red pepper paste, the freezing point was pressed to $-9.6^{\circ}C$ by adding NaCl(15% w/w) and citric acid after removing stem. And the components of combined cryoprotectants to keep strawberry pulp in the unforzen state at $-15^{\circ}C$ were dextrose(25% w/'w), fructose(17% w/w) sorbitol(8% w/w) and ascorbic acid(0.2%, w/w). Also, when compared with No-treatment, the storage time reduced about 50% and resulted in about $70{\sim}80%$ cut-down in the energy requirement for storage of food products at low-temperature.

Vacuum cooling of crisphead lettuce by pilot-scale vacuum cooling apparatus, transportation under the conventional and cold-chain systems and distribution were carried out for its freshness prolongation and application of cold-chain system for fresh fruits and vegetables. Changes in temperatures of crisphead lettuce were also measured during transportation. $Q_{10}$ value for respiration rate of crisphead lettuce was $1.7{\sim}2.4$ and its initial freezing point was $-0.2^{\circ}C$. Cooling the vegetable to $0^{\circ}C$ was possible in less than 30 minutes by vacuum cooling. The shelf-life was extended by more than 90% by the combination of vacuum cooling and low temperature distribution.

In this paper, we present a particle-grid blending framework based on a geometric approach to efficiently represent opaque ice spheres with air bubbles. The water temperature is diffused through the grid and the air bubbles represented inside the ice through the particles. To solve the problem of previous methods that generate noisy dissolved air fields, we use levelsets to lighten the algorithm, i.e., the number of active particles and the initial amount of dissolved oxygen can be used to efficiently control the termination conditions of heat diffusion. We also extend the previous dissolved air field method, which only computes near air bubbles, to transparent regions to represent realistic ice spheres, and introduce a levelset-based approach to accurately compute the orientation of particles. As a result, the method presented in this paper is about three times faster than the existing methods and shows visually improved visualization of opaque ice spheres, which can be used in the field of representing physical virtual ice forms.

To develop simple and accurate analytical method for freezing time prediction of beef and tylose under various freezing conditions, freezing time (Y) was regressed against the reciprocal $(X_3)$ of difference of initial freezing point and freezing medium temperature, reciprocal $(X_4)$ of surface heat transfer coefficient, the initial temperature $(X_1)$ and thickness $(X_2)$ of samples which should cover most situations arising in frozen food industry. As results of the multiple regression analysis, equations were obtained as follows. $Y_{tylose}=3.45X_1+7642.84X_2+4642.67X_3+2946.89X_4-431.33\;(R^2=0.9568)$ and $Y_{beef}=0.68X_1+7568.98X_2+2430.78X_3+3293.26X_4-299.00\;(R^2=0.9897)$. These equations offered better results than Plank, Nagaoka and Pham's models, shown in satisfactory agreement with models of Cleland & Earle and Hung & Thompson when were compared to previous models, and the accuracy of its was very high as average absolute difference of about 10% in the difference between the fitted and experimental results. Also, thermal diffusivities of beef and tylose were measured as $4.43{\times}10^{-4}m^2/hr$ and $4.39{\times}10^{-4}m^2/hr$ at $6{\sim}7^{\circ}C$, $2.42{\times}10^{-3}m^2/hr$ and $3.32{\times}10^{-3}m^2/hr$ at $-10{\sim}-12^{\circ}C$. Initial freezing points of beef and tylose were $-1.2^{\circ}C\;and\;-0.6^{\circ}C$, respectively. Surface heat transfer coefficients were estimated $20.57\;W/m^2^{\circ}C$ with no-packing, $16.11\;W/m^2^{\circ}C$ with wrap packing and $13.07\;W/m^2^{\circ}C$ with Al-foil packing, and the cooling rate of immersion freezing method was about 10 times faster than that of air blast freezing method.

In order to evaluate the microbiological safety of ice cream products, the total viable bacterial counts were measured in 6 kinds of ice pops, 5 kinds of non-milk fat ice cream, and 5 kinds of milk fat ice cream, sold in local markets. In addition, E. coli, S. aureus, B. cereus, and L. monocytogenes were artificially inoculated in three types of ice cream products and stored at $-5^{\circ}C$, $-10^{\circ}C$, and $-18^{\circ}C$, respectively, and after inoculation, viable cells were measured periodically. As a result of the total viable count, about 1~2 log CFU/mL was detected in 16 kinds of ice cream products. As a result of inoculation with microorganisms at various temperatures, the number of viable cells decreased as the storage period became longer, and the higher the storage temperature, the faster the microorganisms died. Especially, the microorganisms were killed faster in the ice pop products than in the other ice cream products, and the microorganisms were killed relatively slower in the milk ice cream. L. monocytogenes and S. aureus were relatively stable in frozen conditions compared to other microorganisms. The microbial contamination of commercial ice cream was lower than the allowable standard of the Korean Food Code. Microorganisms did not proliferate when the microorganism was inoculated at freezing temperature. Therefore, it is expected that the microbiological safety of frozen foods will be ensured if the sanitary control and disinfection of raw materials are thoroughly carried out during the production of frozen confections and the temperature control during distribution and storage is well maintained.

Insects are known to live at wide range of temperature, but can not survive when they are exposed to over $40^{\circ}C$ or below supercooling point. The larvae of Helicoverpa assulta have been reared at high ($35^{\circ}C$), low (3 to $10^{\circ}C$), and room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$; control). To identify stress-related genes, the transcriptomes of fat body have been analyzed. Genes such as cuticular proteins, fatty acyl ${\Delta}9$ desaturase and glycerol 3 phosphate dehydrogenase were up-regulated whereas chitin synthase, catalase, and UDP-glycosyltransferase were down-regulated at low temperature. Superoxide dismutase, metallothionein 2, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and trehalose transporter have been up-regulated at high temperature. In addition, expressions of heat shock protein and glutathione peroxidase were increased at high temperature, but decreased at low temperature. These temperature-specific expressed genes can be available as markers for climate change of insect pests.

The destruction of tissues by volume increase at food freezing is accepted as one of the factor responsible for quality damage. For this reason, the internal pressure developed in meats were investigated with a pressure transducer during freezing, frozen storage and thawing. Increasement of 6.33% for volume and $942.17\;kg/cm^2$ for density at $-20^{\circ}C$ for beef were shown. In quick and slow freezing of beef, internal pressure reached to highest point after reached to the lowest point at initial of the zone of ice crystal formation. The internal pressure was approximately $8{\sim}10\;psig$ and pressure difference was about 1 psig, which was bigger in immersion freezing than that of still-air freezing. During frozen storage of pork, internal pressure of $1.84{\sim}2.32\;psig$ occurred repeatedly as a function of sample weight at material temperature difference of ${\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The internal pressure during thawing of pork was decreased slowly after rapid increase to the maximum for less than 5min at the beginning of thawing. Internal pressure value at thawing was higher than that at freezing in most cases. Internal pressure of beef with thermal equalized freezing was about $1{\sim}4\;psig$, which was lower than that of non-thermal equalized freezing. Also, freezing time was shortened to $10{\sim}20%$.

다품종 소량 생산에 적합하고 소비자들에게 신선한 제품을 제공할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 노동력을 절감할 수 있는 등 여러 가지 이점으로 인해 냉동 반죽의 사용이 증가되고 있다. 하지만 냉동 중에 효모와 글루텐이 손상되어 냉동 반죽으로 제조한 빵은 부피가 작고 노화가 빠르게 진행되는 단점을 보인다. 따라서 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위한 다양한 방법이 요구되며 그 중 하나로 보수성과 빙결정 생성 억제능력을 가지는 다당류와 단백질을 첨가하여 그 효과를 살펴보고자 한다. 사용된 첨가물은 다당류로 carrageenan(C)과 sodium alginate(A), 단백질로 whey(W)와 casein(C)이었는데 다당류와 단백질을 각각 1:1로 혼합해서 첨가하였다. 정해진 배합비 대로 반죽을 하고 급속 동결시킨 후 일주일 동안 저장하면서 5차례 냉동-해동을 반복한 반죽을 시료로 사용하였다. 냉동 반죽을 해동시킨 후 발효정도를 측정하기 위해 발효팽창력을 측정하였다. 냉동 반죽으로 식빵을 제조하고 빵의 비용적, 색도를 측정하였고 관능적 특성으로 crumb부분의 색, 대칭성, 균일성, crust의 색, 터짐성을 측정하고 맛, 향, 조직감, 전반적 기호도를 측정하여 냉동 반죽의 제빵 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 3일간 냉장저장하면서 texture와 수분함량을 측정하여 시료에 따른 노화도를 측정하였다. 냉동생지의 발효팽창력에서 WK 첨가구가 23.5, WA 첨가구가 24.75로 CK, CA 첨가구에 비해 3∼4정도 큰 값을 보였으며, 모든 첨가구가 대조구 18.5보다 큰 발효력을 보였다. 식빵의 비용적은 WK 첨가구 3.539, WA 첨가구 3.506, CA 첨가구 3.377, CK 첨가구 3.247, 대조구 3.064 순으로 큰 값을 보였는데 비용적은 발효력과 정의 관계를 보임을 알 수 있었다. 제조당일과 냉장고에 3일간 저장한 빵의 수분함량, 경도를 비교해 보면 수분함량 의 경우, 대조구가 43.63%에서 42.31%로 1.32% 줄어 가장 큰 감소율을 보였으면 CK 첨가구가 45.12% 에서 44.30%로 0.815% 줄어 가장 작은 감소율을 보였다. 그 외 첨가구의 경우 변화율은 1.26∼l.3%로 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 대체적으로 수분함량의 감소가 대조구보다 첨가구에서 작은 것은 첨가제의 보수성에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다. 경도의 경우, CK 첨가구가 0.244kg에서 0.558kg로 0.334 kg증가하였으며 대조구는 0.212kg에서 0.530kg으로 0.318kg증가하여 다른 첨가구에 비해 높은 경도를 나타내었다. CK 첨가구의 경우, 저장 중 수분함량의 감소율이 가장 작은 것과 달리 경도에 있어서 가장 큰 값과 증가 경향을 나타냈는데 이는 CK 첨가구의 빵이 다른 첨가구의 빵의 비용적보다 작은 것과 관련이 있다고 판단된다. 빵 내부의 색도를 측정했을 때 명도 L값은 CA 첨가구가 76.162로 가장 컸고 WA 첨가구가 12.822로 가장 작은 값을 나타냈으며 다른 첨가구와 대조구의 L값은 73∼74의 범위로 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 적색도 a값과 황색도 b값에서 모든 첨가구가 대조구에 비해 낮은 값을 보였다. 색도의 결과와 관능적 특성 중 내부 색의 선호도를 비교해 보면 큰 차이는 없지만 대조구보다 높은 명도값과 낮은 적·황색도값을 가지는 첨가구의 선호도가조금 높음이 확인되었다. 그 외 관능적 특성들에서도 대조구와 첨가구의 빵의 선호도 차이는 크게 군별되지 않았다. 결론적으로 실험에 사용된 첨가제는 냉동변성을 억제시켜 반죽의 발효력과 빵의 비용적을 높이고 또한 노화도를 늦추는등 냉동반죽의 제빵성을 높이는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, from January 2006 to February 2009, we observed 107 ice spikes formed in a natural state, and analyzed their environment. We developed an experimental device to reproduce ice spikes in laboratory and successfully made 531 ice spikes. We analyzed the process of the formation and the principle of how those ice spikes grow through videotaped data of the formation in the experiment. In the natural world, when the surface of water and the lower part of a vessel begin to freeze, a vent (breathing hole) develops at the surface where an ice is not frozen; this vent serves as the seed of an ice spike. It is assumed that the volume expansion of ice in the vessel which occurs when water freezes makes the supercooled water go upward through the vent and becomes an ice bar called an ice spike. In the laboratory, however, when distilled water is poured into an ice tray cube and kept in the experimental device for about one and a half hours at a temperature of -12- $-13^{\circ}C$, a thin layer of ice then begins to develop on the surface of the water, the vent is formed, and ice spikes form for about 10-30 minutes. These spikes stop growing when the end becomes clogged. Ice spikes can be described as falling into seven categories of shape, with the apex type topping the list followed by the slant type in the natural state and the vertical type predominating in the laboratory.

To improve muscle quality and prolong freshness of sashimi, the effects of freezing-thawing condition on physicochemical and rheological properties of plaice muscle were investigated. Muscle tested were frozen with quick freezing (liquid nitrogen gas) or slow freezing ($-15^{\circ}C$ air). Transition time of zone of ice crystal formation was within 10 minute for quick freezing and 110 minute for slow freezing. Time required for thawing to $0^{\circ}C$ in muscle temperature by various thawing methods was shortest with $25^{\circ}C$ tap water, followed by $15^{\circ}C$ tap water, $10^{\circ}C$ tap water, $25^{\circ}C$ air, $5^{\circ}C$ tap water and $0^{\circ}C$ cold water. Breaking strength of muscle was higher in quickly frozen sample than in slowly frozen sample. According to sashimi term, changes in breaking strength of muscle did not show any difference in quickly frozen sample, while showed significant difference in slowly frozen sample. The remaining content of ATP was not effected by freezing speed, and ATP content was apt to higher in quickly thawed sample than in slowly thawed sample. IMP was the majority of ATP and it's related compounds of sample after freezing and thawing. Collagen matrix was weakened markedly in slowly frozen sample than in quickly frozen sample.
