The purpose of this study is to examine changes in the pesticides residues in pepper powder by storage conditions. Analysis of pesticide residues was performed using multiresidue analytical methods and the number of pesticides detected from 60 pepper powders was 7 pesticides such as cypermethrin, fenvalerate, kresoxim-methyl, chlorpyrifos, chlorfenapyr azoxystrobin, tebuconazole. The concentrations of cypermethrin and tebuconazole were exceeded their maximum residue limits (MRLs). The degradation patterns of pesticides at $-5^{\circ}C$ were compared to those at $20^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$. Without reference to storage temperature, degradation rates of azoxystrobin and fenvalerate were above 80%. Degradation rate of chlorpyrifos was 47% at storage $4^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and 34% at storage $-5^{\circ}C$. During each storage peroid, the degradation patterns were more lower at $-5^{\circ}C$ than at $20^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$.

Purpose Plasma renin activity (PRA) test is important for the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism. PRA is an easily deformed substance in vitro and affected by temperature changes. Laboratory of ASAN medical center has consistently found that there was a difference between the initial and re-experimental results. We compared and analyzed the differences in PRA test results according to the sample storage status. Materials and Methods The measurement of PRA was performed by using the radioimmunoassay. From August to September 2020, 43 PRA re-test samples were tested with different sample storage condition. The first group was re-examined by freezing the plasma-separated samples at -18℃, and the second group was re-examined with refrigerated EDTA sample. Also, additional tests were conducted on 13 PRA samples to verify the effect on thawing temperature differences in plasma-separated samples. The same samples were divided into two parts and stored frozen at -18℃, respectively, and thawing samples in room temperature and those in refrigerator were were conducted. Each result was compared and analyzed based on the initial experimental results. Results The results of re-examination after frozen storing plasma separation samples showed a lower correlation than the results of re-examination with EDTA plasma samples in refrigerator. When calculating the percentage based on the initial test results, the average percentage of each was 404.9% and 133.8%. The correlation coefficient was also R=0.8501 and R=0.9966, respectively, showing a higher correlation between plasma in the refrigerated sample EDTA tube. In comparison experiments with differences in thawing temperature, average percentage of the results of initial test and room temperature thawing was 94.3% and the average percentage of the results of refrigerated thawing was 88.0%. After again freezing the sample, the average percentage of the second room temperature thawing result is 107.5%, and the second refrigerated thawing group is 112.7%. Both groups showed an increase from first thawing. Conclusion A comparative analysis of retesting according to differences in sample storage methods in PRA tests showed a higher correlation between the results of retesting of the refrigerated EDTA plasma. And repeated freezing and melting of plasma separation samples, regardless of temperature during defrosting, has been shown to affect results. Therefore, retest of PRA should re-collect plasma from original EDTA plasma to increase reproducibility.

Staling rates of cooked rice from Akibare (Japonica) and Milyang 23 (Indica) stored at $21^{\circ}C$ and $72^{\circ}C$ were analyzed using the expression ${\theta}={\exp}\;(-kt^n)$, where ${\theta}$ in the fraction of uncrystallized material remaining after time t. The values for the rate constant (k) indicated that the firming process for both rices was not dependent on the variety, but was dependent on the storage temperature. The Avrami exponent (n) was found to be unity at two temperatures, suggesting that the staling of cooked rice is characterized by instantaneous nucleation followed by rod-like growth of starch crystals.

This study is to investigate the issues on how to secure stability during the purification process for the production of recombinant protein A. The final recombinant protein A is produced by passing through the cation exchange column (SP) and the anion-exchange column (Q) during the production process, for which the samples produced by the step-by-step processes can be exposed to trouble in securing stable storage in case the next process cannot be taken within the proper time period. Accordingly, this study aims to evaluate the proper storage conditions and length of time when storing samples produced in the production process. That is, in this study, how to store fair samples, how long the storage period should be set up, and how to evaluate the security of its quality depending on time are dealt with. The items to be experimented with were enodotoxin, SDS-PAGE, HPLC purity and concentration. Experimental results showed that after passing the cation exchange column, when stored at $4^{\circ}C$ or room temperature, SDS-PAGE showed a major band, endotoxin is 5.0 Eu/mg or less, and concentration is on average of 8.21 to 8.24 mg/mL and RSD% 0.10~0.62%. In addition, HLPC purity showed somewhat stable results; at the HPLC purity 214 nm, the average is 99.24% to 99.37% and RSD% is 0.22~0.29%, while the average is 89.72% to 89.80% and RSD% 0.62~1.26% at 280 nm. On the contrary, after passing the anion exchange column, when stored at $4^{\circ}C$ or room temperature, SDS-PAGE revealed the major band, endotoxin is 0.5 Eu/mg or less, and concentration is on average of 5.59 mg/mL and RSD% 0.03~0.10%. when it comes to HLPC purity, the result showed that at the HPLC purity 214 nm, the average is 99.74% and RSD% is 0.10~0.11%, while the average is 96.16% to 96.85% and RSD% 0.72~1.13%. In conclusion, the stability of fair samples of recombinant protein A during the manufacturing process could be obtained without substance decomposition for 7~8 days at $4^{\circ}C$ or 20~21 days at room temperature.

It is assumed to be an efficient method for keeping a germinability of weed seeds as long as possible, if a secondary dormancy is not induced by transferring the seeds of which dormancy was broken in wetting condition into drying condition. To investigate its validity, two experiments were carried out on seeds of 9 weed species ; to find out the most effective storage condition in breaking the dormancy of each weed species and to know whether there is a decrease in the germinability by transferring into drying storage condition. The dormancy of Chenopodium album and Stellaria aquatica was released well under the drying condition, but that of Echinochloa crus-galli var. oryzicola by soaking in water. Other weed species were released from dormancy by storage in wetting condition. When the seeds stored in the wetting or soaking condition, are air-dried and then restored at room or low temperature, a decreasing tendency of germinability which might cause a trouble in using them practically, was not observed except on the seeds of Persicaria vulgaris. In the case of Persicaria vulgaris, the low germination since 3 month-storage seemed not to be caused by drying, because a decrease of its germinability was observed with increasing storage period in all of the storage conditions. In contrast, high germination was induced as the seeds of Echinochloa crusgalli var. oryzicola, which were not germinated during the storage in low temperature and wetting condition, were transferred into the room temperature and drying condition. These results suggest that this approach can be one of the efficient methods for keeping a good germinability as long as possible in most weed seeds.

Natamycin, produced by Streptomyces natalensis ATCC27448, is a polyene macrolide antibiotic, is widely used in the food industry in order to prevent mould contamination. This study carried out to develop an efficient purification process of natamycin from fermentation broth. The stability of natamycin in fermentation broth during storage period was investigated at 4$^{\circ}C$ and room temperature. After the storage of fermentation broth for 14 days at 4$^{\circ}C$, residual activity of natamycin was about 80% but decreased by 27% at room temperature. As solvent to extract natamycin from fermentation broth, methanol was the most efficient. A developed purification procedure includes methanol extraction and Diaion HP-20 column chromatography. Approximately 2.9 g of natamycin was obtained with a final yield of 69.1% and purity of 96.6% from 1.8 l of fermentation broth by this developed purification procedure.

Sucrose in chiffon cakes was replaced with different levels of sorbitol (0, 30, 50, 70, and 100%), and the effects on the physical properties and storage stability of the cakes were measured. The specific gravity and viscosity of the batter, as well as the volume and moisture content of the cakes, decreased with increasing sorbitol content. The hardness of the cakes slightly decreased as the amount of sorbitol increased, whereas the lowest cohesiveness was observed in the cakes with equal amounts of sucrose and sorbitol. Storage for one day slightly increased the hardness of the cakes and decreased their cohesiveness. Although the amount of mold and total microbial count increased with increasing storage days at room temperature, the replacement of sucrose with 70 or 100% sorbitol was effective in suppressing microbial growth. In sensory tests, the formulation with 70% sorbitol substitution in the chiffon cakes was the most acceptable.
