These experiments were conducted to investigate the morphological characteristics, occurrence ecology, host preference, and oviposition of Locusta migratoria to create a forecasting manual in preparation for outbreaks of this species. The sex ratio (female:male) of 274 adult of L. migratoria which occurred naturally in the Muan region of Jeollanam-do was 18.2 : 81.8, 60.9% individuals were of the green type and 39.1% were of the brown type. Body length and body weight were 6.5 cm and 2.8 g for females and 5.0 cm and 1.5 g for males, respectively; body size did not differ between differently colored individuals. Spawning activity in the field was observed from late August to late October. Eggs laid between late September and early October hatched in late May the following year. Female adults fed 3.5 g of corn leaf and male adult was 1.6 g for a day. The host preference of L. migratoria was in the order corn > foxtail millet > millet > silver grass > rice, and preference for silver grass and rice was very low. Pure sand was most favorable for the spawning of L. migratoria, and the cumulative amount of hatching was higher when the soil moisture content was higher after spawning began.

The objective of this study was to analyze the flavor patterns of commercial Korean distilled spirits using a mass spectrometry-based electronic nose and an electronic tongue. Thirteen types of domestic distilled spirits were used for analysis. The flavor patterns of the distilled spirits were clearly identified through discriminant function analysis of the raw materials. The obtained data of the electronic nose analysis showed that the flavor pattern of the distilled spirits aged in oak barrels was not significantly different from that of the general distilled spirits. According to the results of the electronic tongue, the distilled spirits made with rice had a stronger flavor than those made with foxtail millet. Compared to the sensitivity value of each taste sensor, the distilled spirits showed various intensities of sourness and umami. Therefore, an electronic nose and electronic tongue could be successfully used for quality evaluation and new product development of distilled spirits.

Foxtail Millet Takju was treated with heat ($65^{\circ}C/30\;min$) (HT) or high hydrostatic pressure ($27^{\circ}C/400\;MPa/10\;min$) (PT), and changes in microbial count, enzyme activity, and quality were determined during 30-day storage at 10 and $25^{\circ}C$. Total viable cellcount remained constant, while lactic acid bacteria and yeast were not detected in HT and PT Takjus. Relative activities of ${\alpha}-amylase$ in PT Takju significantly increased by 169.7% at 3 days storage, then decreased to 137.7 and 68.7% at 10 and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively, at 30 days. Relative activities of glucoamylase in HT Takju showed reversible change, and were 36.5 and 54.3% at $10\;and\;25^{\circ}C$, respectively, at 30 days storage. Activities in PT Takju increased with storage period, 158.2% at 30 days storage at $10^{\circ}C$. Titratable acidity in untreated Takju increased, while those in HT and PT Takjus remained almost constant during 30 days storage. Reducing sugar content in untreated Takju showed no change, while that in HT Takju increased gradually, reaching 2.9% at 30 days, whereas that in PT increased sharply after 3 days, reaching 4.8% at 30 days. Sensory evaluation showed sourness and bitterness were low, and sweetness and overall acceptance were high in PT Takju after 30 days storage at $10^{\circ}C$.

Hemipteran bugs, which were previously considered as secondary pests, have currently become important pests of numerous crops. Among them, Riptortus pedestris (Fabricius) is a major species that occurs in Korea, Japan, China, and South Asian countries. Riptortus pedestris infests leguminous crops like soybean, vetches, and red clover; fruit trees like persimmon and yuju; and grains like barley, foxtail millet, broomcorn, and sorghum. Riptortus pedestris causes the greatest damage to soybean, as it is the most suitable host for the bug. Feeding damage during pod formation significantly reduces the yield of soybean. Currently, 17 insecticides, including diazinon and etofenprox, are registered for the control of hemipteran bugs in Korea, and growers apply insecticides two to three times on a regular basis. Aggregation pheromone traps are widely used as a monitoring tool and partial control measure. The aggregation pheromone of R. pedestris attracts conspecific adults and nymphs and is used for food exploitation rather than sexual attraction. In addition, the pheromone serves as a kairomone for egg parasitoids such as Gryon japonicum (Ashmead) and Ooencyrtus nezarae Ishii. As a new method of pest management, nonviable host eggs were included in the pheromone trap to catch R. pedestris and propagate parasitoids. As a part of cultural practices, resistant soybean varieties with specific color and size of pod and control of flowering time through the alteration of planting date can be used. For the effective management of R. pedestris in the near future, development of cultural practices that can support natural control factors and the use of multiple control tactics are needed.

The lees of Korean traditional wine called as Jubak or Sul-jigemi in Korea is byproduct from alcohol fermentation industry, which is remnant of fermentation broth after filtration, centrifugation, distillation, or sedimentation during aging. Since, Korean traditional wines are produced from edible plant sources such as rice, foxtail millet, fruits and medicinal herbs with nuruk (a traditional fermentation starter and starch degrader), the Jubak from rice wine (takju), medicinal herb wine (yakju) and fruits wine are considered as safe byproduct and have various useful bioactivity. Considering the recent rapid increased production of Jubak from takju industry, and the reinforcement of dispose of Jubak as waste material in worldwide, the development of efficient reuse process for Jubak is necessary in traditional wine industry. In this review, the status of current industry, research and patent trends in relation with Jubak production, treatment, utilization and renewal was analyzed and different bioactive compounds including phenolic acids from Jubak were provided. Jubak is not any more waste material, and is the source of bioactive functional materials for food, cosmetics and medicinal industry. To develop the efficient and economic renewal technology including recovery process for bioactive substances from Jubak, systematic collaboration and research among the industry, academy and government is necessary.

Salted and then washed flounder muscles with salting levels of 10%, 15% and 20% were mixed with boiled foxtail millet and spices(radish, garlic, ginger and red pepper) and fermented at $15^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The changes of taste constituents of fermented flounder Sikhae, such as sugars, free amino acids and 5'-nucleotides, were investigated. The content of fructose decreased significantly during Sikhae fermentation, but the content of mannitol that was not detected from raw material was estimated to be $6.26%{\sim}8.97%$ in Sikhae. The content of total free amino nitrogen in the 15% salted Sikhae was 290.6 mg% and the highest value with 53.4% of its extract nitrogen. It is believed that leucine, alanine, arginine, glutamine, isoleucine, valine, glutamic acid and lysine may play an important role as the taste constituents in Sikhae. The detected 5'-nucleotides were CMP, UMP, CTP, AMP, ADP and ATP and among them the nucleotide showing the hightest level irrespective of treatment was UMP estimated to be $761.0\;{\mu}g{\sim}849.0\;{\mu}g/g$. ATP and ADP were significantly decreased in Sikhae, but CMP and CTP were significantly increased in the 15% salted Sikhae compared with those of raw material.

This survey was carried out to estimate pesticide residue levels in commercial agricultural products in the year 2009. Residues were examined in 16 commodities (rice, foxtail millet, buckwheat, kidney beans, peanuts, sesame, oranges, grapefruit, kiwifruit, spinach, perilla leaves, leeks, garlic stem, garlic, ginger, and oak mushroom) collected from 22 provinces in Korea. Analyses were performed by multi-methods capable of detecting up to 60 pesticides by LC/MS/MS. A total of 510 samples were collected and analyzed. Of the samples, 96.1% contained no detectable pesticide residues. Detectable residues at or below the MRLs were found in 3.5% of the samples. However, in 0.4% of the samples (spinach and leeks), residue (ethaboxam and fluquinconazole) levels exceeded the MRLs. Furthermore, intake assessments of 7 kinds of pesticide residues were carried out, excluding those exceeding the MRLs. The results showed that the ratios of EDI (estimated daily intake) to ADI (acceptable daily intake) were 0.0001-0.0006%, which indicates that the detected pesticide residues were in a safe range. It is concluded that residual pesticides in agricultural products are properly controlled in Korea.
