Fresh mushrooms are vulnerable to browning and tissue changes after harvest. This study monitored the external appearance, physicochemical quality indicators, and nutritional and functional components of a white beech mushroom (Hypsizygus marmoreus) variety (EG2020) newly developed in Korea during cold storage for up to 42 days. Two existing varieties of white H. marmoreus, namely H6 from Korea and HKT from Japan, were used for comparison. The mechanical texture of EG2020 was superior to H6 and HKT due to the increasing hardness of the pileus with time. Browning, in terms of the total color difference during storage, was found to be the most severe in HKT. In terms of composition, EG2020 had the highest total free sugar content, a large amount of organic acids, and higher sugar content than H6 and HKT. EG2020 also contained the largest amount of 𝛽-glucan, and its amount increased during storage. In sensory evaluation, EG2020 received higher scores than HKT in flavor, taste, appearance, and texture. Therefore, the EG2020 variety is more stable than HKT during storage and distribution.

This study was conducted to investiagte influences of cold aged dough on the quality of bagutte. After 2 hours fementing, the dough was divided 2 parts and they were stored in the refrigirated adjusted 1∼-1$^{\circ}C$. The cold aging time was 24, 48 hours respectivley. After 2 hourse fermentation, the dough's pH was 5.45 and 24, 48 hours cold aged dough were 4.99, 4.81. During cold aging, the difference of pH was not significant. The main organic acids in the baguette were lactic acid, acetic acid and malic acid, Among these organic acids, the acetic acid was the largest quantity regardlessly in different fermentation and the cold aging acids, time. Right after baking, the enthalphy of all samples were almost same even thought in different cold aging time, but during different storage periods they showed the difference of retrogradation by the increase of the enthalphy. 24 hours cold aging baguette had the best taste, aroma and texture in bread's score sheet.

Cold cuts were prepared from the pork and chicken with polyphosphate salt and spices. Microorganism was more proliferated and acid value was more decreased In pork cold cut rather than chicken cold cut. Otherwise TBA value of chicken cold cut was more increased than that of pork cold cut. Textures of springeness and cohesiveness were not significantly different in both cold cuts. From sensory evaluation, color, appearance and odor were significantly different, but texture, flavor and total acceptability were not significantly different. From these results, if we could study some antioxidants furthermore. we think it possible to manufacture cold cut from chicken.

To obtain the basic data for the preservation of river puffer (Takifugu obscurus) sperm, experiments were carried out on the physico-chemical properties and cold storage of milt. The average number of sperm and spermatocrit in milt stripped were $1.13\pm0.34\times10^{10}/ml$ and 64.8$\pm$1.4, respectively. Osmolality of seminal fluid was 266$\pm$2 mOsm/kg, Total protein and total lipid from sperm were higer than that from seminal fluid. $Ca^{2+}$ and $Na^{+}$ concentrations were higher in the seminal fluid than in the sperm, while $Mg^{2+}$ and $K^{+}$ concentrations were lower in the seminal fluid. When sperm of river puffer were preserved in $0\pm0.5^{\circ}C$ with various diluents for 16 days, fertilization rate was $0\~0.7\%$. It suggested that cold storage of river puffer sperm was detrimental to sperm fertility.

Experimental study was performed to understand the real operation conditions of a showcase working usually in a convenient store and discount store. The purpose of this study was to show the possibility for practical use of cold-heat storage systems being operated for the showcase. To do that, evaporator and condenser temperatures were measured and the compressor electric power consumption were measured simultaneously. To use the ice storage system, the ice making process was typically operated during midnight being not needed the cooling of the showcase through the continuous running of the condenser unit. And then, the refrigerant was subcooled using the stored cold-heat after being discharged from the condenser during daytime. So, the cooling performance was increased with the sub-cooling of refrigerant during daytime,hence the actual running time of the compressor could be effectively decreased. Through the experiments, this study showed that the compressor electric power consumption during daytime could be transferred to nighttime for applying the refrigerant sub-cooling. So, for the convenient store, the maximum load transfer rates for each working cooler and showcase were estimated about 31.1% and 19.9% respectively. And for the discount store, the maximum load transfer rates for each refrigeration and freezing showcase were estimated about 34.1% and 49.0% respectively.

Quality changes of winter Chinese cabbage with different packing and loading methods were investigated during cold storage at 0$\^{C}$. Judging from the marketability of stored Chinese cabbage, winter Chinese cabbage could be above 4 months at 0$\^{C}$ cold store. Four Chinese cabbages were packed with 0.3mm polyethylene film and then loaded vertically in plastic container. During storage at 0$\^{C}$, gas composition in the plastic bags was indicated by 8.2∼19.5% O$_2$ and 0.35∼8.58% CO$_2$, respectively. Compared to the conventional storing method, packed with polypropylene net, the fresh1ess of Chinese cabbage was prolonged nearly 10 to 20% by MAP.

The distribution channel of meat by-products from the pig farm to the final consumer can include a meat processor, wholesale market, wholesaler, retailer, and butcher shop. Bacterial contamination at any of these steps remains to be a serious public health concern. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution channel and microbial characteristics of pig by-products in Korea. Upon evaluation of pig by-products in cold storage, we found that the small and large intestine were significantly (p<0.05) higher in pH value compared to the heart and liver. The total plate counts were not significantly different among offals until cold storage for 7 d. The coliform count after 1 d of cold storage was significantly (p<0.05) higher in small and large intestine than in the other organs. The coliform count of heart, liver, and stomach showed a higher coliform count than small and large intestine until 7 d of cold storage. As determined by 16S rRNA sequencing, contamination of major pig by-products with Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., and other bacterial species occurred. Therefore, our results suggest that a more careful washing process is needed to maintain quality and hygiene and to ensure the safety of pig by-products, especially for small and large intestine.

The performance of the cold latent heat storage is investigated by experiment and by a simplified analytic approach. The heat storage tank has eight horizontal circular tubes and one path of refrigerant evaporating tube. The phase change material in the heat storage tank is water which is frozen by evaporating refrigerant of refrigeration system and melts by the warm air in the heat storage tank. In the experiment, the performance has been studied by the various conditions including the initial water temperature on solidification and flow rate and temperature of air. The rate of recovered heat has been simulated by a simplified model and the results shows a good agreement. In solidification process, initial water temperature causes time delay corresponding to the sensible heat and it is found that the shape of evaporator is important. In melting process, the recovered heat rate from the heat storage tank is proportional to $Re^{0.8}(T_{bi}-T_f)$ of air where $T_{bi}$ and $T_f$ indicate temperatures of inlet air and phase change, respectively. And the deminishing rate of the recovered heat is higher for the higher heat rate.

To determine the optimal shelf life for maintaining the high quality of kohlrabi, the changes in the physiological and secondary metabolites of kohlrabi stems during storage were investigated. The results showed that the kohlrabi maintained its marketable quality for two weeks at room temperature and for two months in cold storage ($4^{\circ}C$). Interestingly, the total phenol and flavonoid contents sharply declined along with the quality deterioration after two-week storage at room temperature. Moreover, insignificant changes in these compounds were observed for two months during the cold storage. The secondary metabolites of the kohlrabi were also influenced by its storage condition. The total phenol and total flavonoid contents of the kohlrabi significantly increased with the storage periods at low temperature, and significantly decreased with the storage periods at room temperature. In terms of the packaging, no significant difference in the total phenol content of the kohlrabi was found between the packaged and non-packaged types of storage. However, the flavonoid content of the packaged kohlrabi was higher than that of the non-packaged kohlrabi at the end of their storage. The content of glucosinolates, an anti-cancer ingredient was maintained during the storage, so the vegetables remained good sources of these compounds when stored in cold storage even for a long period. This study showed a close correlation between the secondary metabolites and the change in the quality of kohlrabi during storage. The results also suggested that secondary metabolites such as phenolics can be considered quality indicators of the shelf life of kohlrabi.
