Causal factors related to the skin disorder such as black stains during cold storage of 'Niitaka' pear fruit are of great importance to solve the postharvest disorder problems. The morphological and biochemical changes observe of pear skin affected by different harvest times and storage environments. Occurrence rate of black stain in 'Niitaka' pear fruit was the highest in newspaper bagging with 75% among various bagging materials at harvest time because of the high relative humidity within the double layer paper bags. During cold storage, the rate was 54～100% in 30 $\mu\textrm{m}$ polyethylene (PE) film packaging. As the harvest time was postponed, the rate increasedduring cold stoinge. The into was 1.5 to 2.4 times higher in pears harvested in late September than in those harvested in early and mid October. There was no significant difference in occurrence of black stain fruit between the 30 and 50 $\mu\textrm{m}$ PE film bags. The causal fungus of the black stain pear was assumed as Gloeodes pomigena (Schweintz, 1920). The treatment of 0.1～0.5 ppm ozone gas prevented the occurrence of the pear fruit black stain until 180 days after cold storage. The ozone treatment on the affected fruit was also effective in preventing the progress of the black stain.

The change in physicochemical and sensory properties and bioactive compounds of Campbell grape juice has been investigated for 30 days at $-5^{\circ}C$. The pH and sugar/acid ratio of the cold stabilized juice increased, while titratable acidity and soluble solids decreased as cold stabilization period is prolonged. Juice samples became lighter, yellowish to brownish and lesser red in color as can be observed with the increasing $L^*$ and $b^*$ values, and decreasing $a^*$ value, respectively. The juice cold stabilized for a shorter period of time showed higher levels of bioactive compounds and radical scavenging activity, and was more preferred by the panelists than the juice cold stabilized for a longer period of time. These results suggest that cold stabilization period affected the quality characteristics of grape juice.

We investigated the quality characteristics of Dombaegi after drying, with respect to salt concentration (1%, 2%, 3% all w/v) and salting temperature ($4^{\circ}C$, $18^{\circ}C$), to establish optimum salting conditions. Changes in moisture and salt content, water holding capacity, water activity, color, and textual properties of salted Dombaegi were measured. The moisture content was highest in Dombaegi prepared with 3% (w/v) salt at 4C. The salt content of Dombaegi rose as salt concentration and temperature increased. The water holding capacity was greatest after salting with 3% (w/v) salt at $4^{\circ}C$. Color and texture were superior after preparation at higher salt concentrations and lower salting temperatures. Thus, the quality of Dombaegi was optimal when dry salting was performed at the highest salt concentration (3%, w/v) and the lower salting temperature ($4^{\circ}C$).

Potential of consumer unit packaging was investigated for quality maintenance during export simulation in king oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii). Mushrooms were harvested in late May, precooled to $4^{\circ}C$ within 6 hours, and then packaged for shipping in two ways: 2 kg bulk packaging in a polyethylene (PE) bag or three types of unit packaging methods such as 400 g in polypropylene film bag (PPB), 200 g on styrofoam tray + PE shrinkage film wrapping (STW), and 200 g in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers (PETC). For local distribution of bulk-packaged commodity, mushrooms were sorted again and packaged into 3 consumer units in the same way as for the initial shipping packages. Simulation of refrigerated container shipping was performed in a walk-in type pilot storage at $0.5^{\circ}C$ for 5 weeks, while local marketing simulation was carried out on the shelf at $7^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. During the shipment simulation, creation of modified atmosphere (MA) was substantial in 2 kg bulk packages with low $O_2$ below 2% and high $CO_2$ over 15% whereas, in PPB and PETC unit packages, relatively higher $O_2$ concentrations were observed. On the shelf at $7^{\circ}C$, $CO_2$ concentrations rapidly increased in PPB and PETC packages despite the short marketing period. Overall marketability evaluated by off-flavor, browning, and texture rating was maintained at excellent level when 2 kg bulk packaging in PE or unit packaging in PPB and PETC were used for shipment. In contrast, establishment of MA was very slight in STW packages during shipment and local distribution resulting in poor quality after export simulation. The results suggested that shipment using adequate consumer unit packaging is more practical and economically beneficial than using bulk packaging in the export program consisting of 5-week shipment and 7-day local distribution.

This study was carried out to measure and analyze the storage condition, distribution route, and packaging method of four selected agricultural products(small tomato, cabbage, peach, and carrot) in the cold chain system. It was shown that dew-forming phenomenon by fruits and vegetables deteriorates the agricultural product quality and physical properties of corrugated fiberboard box during the cold chain system. The compressive strength deterioration in corrugated fiberboard boxes was much greater for single wall(SW) corrugated fiberboard containers than for double wall(DW) in low temperature-high humidity condition. To reduce the deterioration of box and dew-forming phenomenon, water-repellency treatment should be over $R_6$. However, water-resistant treatment of corrugated fiberboard containers would be effective under high relative humidity conditions more than 75% RH. It was suggested that functional corrugated fiberboard box packaging would be an optimum method to reduce the deterioration of agricultural products quality by. It was also achieved controlling the relative humidity and temperature during the storage and physical distribution process.

Maintaining steady and low temperature during distribution process is a key technique to inhibit microbial growth, one of the most important factors in determining the shelf life. It is possible to provide high-quality fresh products to consumers only when precise and adequate temperature control is guaranteed throughout the entire distribution process for fresh seafood. This study investigated the shelf-life of packaged fresh flounder (Paralichthys Olivaceus) in order to learn the feasibility of super-chilled distribution of fresh seafood. To estimate the shelf life, weight, number of bacteria such as E. coli, pH, sensory test and volatile basic nitrogen were investigated. As a result of the study, the difference in shelf life of 6 days at the super-chilling temperature (0±1℃) and 1 day at the general refrigeration temperature (8±2℃) (based on volatile base nitrogen) showed the market possibility of super-chilling distribution. Through additional empirical studies such as packaging methods and economic feasibility, it is expected to promote commercialization of super-chilling containers and packaging system developed in the future and secure customer reliability.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of CA(4% $O_2$ and 7.5% $CO_2$) storage on the quality characteristics and chilling injury in 'Nanko' prunus mume fruits at 1, 5, and $9^{\circ}C$. CA storage reduced production of $CO_2$ and $C_2H_4$ significantly. Hue values of fruit skin were significantly higher in fruits stored at $1^{\circ}C$ and $5^{\circ}C$ than $9^{\circ}C$. Weight loss was much lower in fruits stored under CA storage. Soluble solids content (SSC) titratable acids (TA), and firmness were maintained and electrolyte leakage was lower in fruits stored under CA storage. Ratios of chilling injury and decay were increased faster at $5^{\circ}C$ and $9^{\circ}C$ than $1^{\circ}C$. The chilling injury was suppressed in fruits of CA storage compared with control fruits during cold storage. These results indicate that CA storage at $1^{\circ}C$ of prunus mume fruits extended the storage life up to 30 days without quality deterioration. effectively.

This study was carried out to examine the of quality on the dried Omija according to its package materials and storage plates. The changes of moisture contents, anthocyanin content, molds damage rates, and color values were measured during storage. In the sealing up by the P.E file, the moisture contents of the dried Omija had just a little differences among the storage places, but in the gauze bag remarkably as the storage period goes on, especially in this case, 8 months later since the storage in the cool chamber, the damage rates of the dried Omija by the mold was 9.0%, twice as much as in the indoor bag packaging it was increasand after 10 months, that was lather high in the indoor and warehouse. The anthocyanin content of the dried Omija after the storage of 10 months was the highest at 0.05mm black P.E film package in the cool chamber, which was 55.7 mg/100g, but in the indoor and warehouse 39.7, 45.0mg/100g, respectively. These results show thats the storage conditions had an important effect on the quality of the dried Omija during the long-term storage.
