Food safety is a fundamental requirement for consumers. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the freshness of pork fillets based on freshness index (Ki value) analysis during storage. This study obtained a total of 24 pork fillets. This study was divided into 4℃ and -20℃ temperatures. Again, each temperature was divided into 4 different groups based on storage durations (15d). Each group was obtained in triplicate. The level of malondialdehyde (MDA) value was significantly increased at 4℃ than the -20℃ storage with the duration of storage days. The levels of inosine-5'-phosphate (IMP) in pork fillets were significantly decreased at 4℃ and -20℃. Hypoxanthine (Hx) levels were significantly increased at 15 days than those at 0 days during storage at both temperatures (4℃ and -20℃). Subsequent freezing increased more inosine levels at -20℃ than storage at 4℃. The Ki values were increased during storage days at both temperatures, although after 15d storage, its values at 4℃ were significantly higher than those at -20℃. These results demonstrated that storage period and temperature might affect the freshness of pork fillets via lipid oxidation and nucleotide degradation. This study suggested that the Ki value will be the crucial indicator of measurement of freshness of stored pork fillets.

This article intends to examine main features of revision in relation to the duration of cover in the Institute Cargo Clauses 2009 and the results of analysis are as followings. First, the cover, which had been "warehouse to warehouse", has been extended to what may be called "shelf to unloading". Thus the insurance attaches when the goods are first moved within the warehouse or place of storage at the named place for the purpose of immediate loading for the commencement of transit. Secondly, the new termination Clause 8.1.3 requires an election by the assured, or their employees, to use a vehicle or container, for storage other than in the ordinary course of transit. Thirdly, Clause 10.1, which deals with the assured's voluntary change of voyage, was amended to solve the problem that the words "held covered" could be misunderstood by an assured without specialist knowledge of English marine insurance law to be a guarantee of cover, even where cover would not be commercially available. Finally, Clause 10.2 is designed to solve the so-called "phantom ship problem", arising from the harsh decision in The Prestrioka. The new Clause 10.2 provides protection for an innocent assured in the situation of a phantom ship.

After Disaster Impact Assessment(DIA) Program was particed, the wide variety of hydrological data are estimated by introducing the concept of critical storm duration to calculate the stormwater impoundments as the alternative of increasing runoff due to many developments. Critical storm duration is varied by a lot of hydraulic structures, drainage characteristics, temporal distribution of design rainfall, return period, and runoff models. In this study the methods of estimating the proper volume to design the stormwater impoundments are proposed to determine the required volume by comparing and analyzing the maximum stormwater impoundments in accordance with the impoundment volume and rainfall duration by using the concept of storage ratio presented in the existing studies. The methods of determining the critical storm duration of design rainfall which cause the maximum load from the runoff hydrograph will be studied as analyzing rainfall-runoff using the various runoff models and observed data.

Glucosinolates are hydrolyzed by the enzyme myrosinase and are mainly found in cruciferous vegetables such as Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis). lsothiocyanates (ITCs) are glucosinolate degradation products with reported anticarcinogenic properties. Korean Chinese cabbage in the form of 'kimchi' is a staple part of the Korean diet. In this study, we examined the effects of storage temperature and duration on glucosinolate, ITC, soluble sugar, and organic acid levels in kimchi. Changes in pH and the impact of various parts of the Korean Chinese cabbage being used during the preparation of the dish were also assessed. Extracted ITC levels, analyzed via gas chromatography (GC) and GC/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), were higher in the midrib parts than in the cabbage leaves after storage at both 4 and $20^{\circ}C$. During storage, organic acid levels increased while soluble sugars were depleted. The pH initially increased (after 1 day at $20^{\circ}C$, and 1 week at $4^{\circ}C$), but subsequently decreased over time at both temperatures. Glucosinolate and ITC levels increased in the beginning of storage but then generally fell during further storage. Our data suggest that acidity-related reduction in myrosinase activity during storage may decrease glucosinolate and ITC levels. The changes in these levels depended on the storage conditions and the Korean Chinese cabbage parts used for the kimchi preparation.

During the storage and transport of fruits in the bulk state, significant damage by dead load may occur. To reduce such damage, the prediction model of allowable pile depth, duration and optimum thickness of packaging cushion for fruits was developed in this study. From the preliminary experiment and some assumptions, the derived equations were verified to be a good prediction of the above three parameters.

This study was conducted to establish the in vitro seed germination of Loranthus tanakae. A factorial experiment evaluated the effects of seed storage duration (0, 8, 16 weeks), media (MS, SH, White, WPM), presence of viscin, GA3, gelling agent and concentrations. Seed germinated after one week culture in in vitro condition and produced radicles. In vitro seed germination was optimal when the seeds removed viscin placed on SH medium (69%) and the addition of 0.35% gelrite (75%) in the same medium. As seed storage duration was expanded to 8 or 16 weeks, in vitro seed germination rate was reduced rapidly. Holdfasts were also produced at the side of radicles. The important factors to produce holdfast and haustorium was kind of media as an optimal condition in White medium without any supplements to be shown 98% and 8% respectively. Process of in vitro germination of Loranthus tanakae was followed to radicle elongation, holdfast development and then haustorium formation sequencially.

Mixtures type PCM, $H_2O$-NaOH that has relatively large capacity of the latent heat and long duration of phase change temperature was developed and experimentally analyzed for the low temperature storage of the food and medical products. The results could be summarized as follows; 1. Borax as nucleating agent and acrylic polymer as thickening agent were added to $H_2O$ to prevent the supercooling and phase separation. 2. Phase change (solid$\leftrightarrows$liquid) duration of $H_2O$ added with NaOH was prolonged longer 50% than that of pure $H_2O$. 3. Phase change temperature of the latent heat material, $H_2O$-NaOH was $1.5\sim2^{\circ}C$ the maximum latent Heat was 279 kJ/kg at the NaOH addition of 1.3 wt.%. 4. The specific heat of $H_2O$-NaOH at the solid and liquid state was increased in proportion to the wt.% of NaOH, when NaOH of $1.15\sim1.60$ wt.% was added to $H_2O$, the specific heat of the solid state was increased from 3.19 kJ/kg to 5.84 kJ/kg and that of liquid state from 7.8 kJ/kg to 10.28 kJ/kg. 5. When NaOH of $1.15\sim1.60$ wt.% was added to $H_2O$, the total heat storage capacity composed of sensible and latent heat was $313\sim331.3$ kJ/kg and the maximum heat storage capacity was occurred at NaOH addition of 1.30 wt. %.

This experiment was conducted to improve germination rate of the seed treated duration of storage and $GA_3$ in Celosia argentea. With the seed directly after harvest, as increasing concentration of $GA_3$, ranged from 50ppm to 200ppm, and dipping hour, ranged from 6 to 24 hour, the rate of germination was also increased. The germination of seed dipping in 200ppm $GA_3$ for 24 hours was the highest with $52\%$ compared to the control with $12\%$. As increasing storage duration in $22{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, ranged from 2 weeks to 12 weeks, the rate of germination was also increased showing $84\%$ at 12 week. However, the rate of germination was not increased with the storage of $5^{\circ}C,\;0^{\circ}C,\;and\;-70^{\circ}C$. With the seed storage 16 weeks in $22{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ after harvest, the rate of germination was $84\%$. The rate of germination was increased $94\%\;to\;99\%$ by the $GA_3$ concentration, ranged from 50ppm to 400ppm, and dipping hour, ranged from 6 to 24 hour. The germination was finished 4 days after sowing.

Objective: The study aimed at assessing the effects of frozen storage duration on quality characteristics, lipid oxidation and sensory quality of various horse muscles. Methods: Five representative muscles: longissimus dorsi (LD), gluteus medius (GM), semimembranosus (SM), biceps femoris (BF), and triceps brachii (TB) at 24 h post-mortem obtained from 28-mo-old Jeju female breed horses (n = 8) were used in the present investigation. The muscles were vacuumpackaged and frozen at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 120, 240, and 360 days. All the samples were analyzed for thawing and cooking losses, pH, Warner-Bratzler shear forces (WBSF), color traits, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and sensory traits. The muscle samples analyzed on day 0 of frozen storage (fresh, non-frozen) were used for comparison. Results: Results revealed that thawing and cooking losses significantly (p<0.05) increased in all the muscles after 120 days and then remained unchanged up to 360 days of frozen storage. The TBARS and TVBN contents significantly increased as increasing frozen storage time up to 360 days (p<0.05). While, significant decreases in WBSF values were observed for all the muscles with increased frozen storage time (p<0.05). Frozen storage variously affected the color traits of the muscles for instance; the redness of LD, GM, and BF muscles showed a decreasing tendency during frozen storage while it was not changed in TB and SM muscles. Furthermore, the frozen storage did not produce detrimental effects on sensory quality as it did not cause flavor and juiciness defects whereas it partially improved the tenderness of all the muscles studied. Conclusion: Based on the results obtained from our work, it is concluded that frozen storage could be applied to increase the long-term shelf life of horsemeat while still retaining its sensory quality.

This study was conducted to evaluate optimal storage techniques for bare root plants and container seedlings of Quercus variabilis and Zelkova serrata in order to maintain high quality of seedlings until planting. Refrigerated storage treatments were given at two temperatures (-2℃ [freezing] and 2℃ [cooling]) for nine different durations (0, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, and 360 days after storage). We analyzed total nonstructural carbohydrate (TNC) content and measured shoot moisture content (SMC) during the storage stage and survival rate (SR) and dry weight during the planting stage of seedlings. The TNC content and SMC of the seedlings of the two species decreased with an increase in storage duration. The TNC content of seedlings rapidly decreased after 180~240 days of storage. The TNC reduction rate in the freezing treatment was lower than that in the cooling treatment. Also, with an increase in the storage duration of the two species, the SMC reduction rate in the cooling treatment increased in comparison with that in the freezing treatment. In both the species, the SR after planting decreased rapidly after 60 days of cooling storage and 180 days of freezing storage, respectively. The SR after planting was less than 60% when the TNC content for both the species dropped below 20 mg g^-1. In addition, the SR was lower than 80% when SMC measured before storage decreased by approximately 30% and 20% for Q. variabilis and Z. serrata, respectively. Our results suggest that cooling (1~2℃) storage is recommended for a short-term period (2 months or less), whereas freezing (-2~-4℃) storage is suitable for longer periods (2~6 months). These optimal storage techniques, allied with seedling harvesting and handling systems, will improve the quality of seedling production in nursery stages and increase seedling growth performances in plantations.
