This study was conducted to investigate change in the quality of white pan bread as affected by various concentrations of Corni fructus powder. Breads were prepared by addition of 0, 1, 2 and 3% of Corni fructus to wheat flour of basic formulation. The moisture content of white pan bread was approximately $37.5{\sim}41.1%$ and decreased with increasing Corni fructus powder concentration. The pH of white pan bread also decreased with increasing Corni fructus powder concentration. In color values, with increase of Corni fructus powder concentration, L, a value decreased and a value increased in the crumb. The weights of bread cooled for 0, 1 hour and 3 hour after baking decreased with increasing Corni fructus powder concentration. The volume and height of dough increased with increasing Corni fructus powder concentration. However, no significant differences in the specific volume and yield of dough were found. The baking loss rate was higher in the breads with Corni fructus powder than in the control. In the texture characteristics, hardness, gumminess and chewiness of bread significantly decreased with increasing Corni fructus powder concentration and adhesiveness, cohesiveness increased. In the sensory evaluation, when compared to the control, the bread added to 1% of Corni fructus powder was superior texture and taste and flavor, while was similar to color.

This study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of electrolyzed oxidizing(EO) water, electrolyzed oxidizing water with 0.5% citron juice and 0.1% aluminium potassium sulfate (APS) solution as the storing liquids to maintain quality and extend shelf life of peeled taro. Water content of peeled taro increased from 80.55% to 82.12∼84.24% after 25 days storage due to moisture absorption. However, there were no significant difference between treatments. In case of color value of peeled taro, L value was slowly decreased and a, b value was generally increased. Texture of peeled taro decreased from initial 4,520$\pm$75 g to 4,160$\pm$80 g after 25 days storage in EO water with 0.5% citron juice, which is the least reduction value in all treatments. Treatment of EO water with 0.5％ citron juice maintained 6.99 mg%(57%) of total vitamin C after 25 days storage which showed highest total vitamin C content between treatments. In most treatments, total sugar was decreased in fast rate for 15 days storage and slowly decreased after 15 days storage. Free sugar content was not changed significantly during storage. In case of sucrose content which is the major portion of free sugar, reduction continued until the midst of storage. and after that it increased to 1.5∼2 times of initial contents. However, there were no differences between treatments and storage days in contents of fructose, glucose and maltose. Major amino acids in peeled taro were aspartic acid and glutamic acid with 1,084.8 and 691.8 mg/100g respectively. At 25 days of storage, aspartic acid content in treatment of EO water was increased about 13.9%. Treatment of EO water with 0.5% citron juice was the most effective in respect to the reduction ratio of total amount of essential amino acids.

Objective of this study was to monitor the hydrogen sulfide production rate and concentration in anaerobic co-digestion of swine manure and food waste for biogas production in order to alternate the petroleum based energy. Anaerobic co-digestion for biogas production was performed in serum bottles at 2% volatile solids (VS) concentration and various mixing ratios of two substrates(swine manure: food waste = 100:0 ~ 0:100). Although hydrogen sulfide production rates were varied with digestion periods at different treatments, it was observed that hydrogen sulfide produced in the swine manure alone was lower at 2.4 fold than that of food waste. For effects of hydrogen sulfide concentration in the different mixing ratios of swine manure to food waste, the higher food waste ratio the higher hydrogen sulfide concentration. Also its average concentrations were varied from 0.1452% in the swine waste only to 0.3420% in the food waste alone. For the composition ratio of bio-gas in their anaerobic co-digestion, it appeared that there was 53.2% of $CH_4$, 23.9% of $CO_2$, 0.3% of $H_2S$ and 22.7% of miscellaneous gases including moisture.

In order to find out physiological effects of diets supplemented with seamustard (Undaria pinnatifida) on the growth, survival rate, body compositions and blood properties of young rockfishes (Sebastes schlegeli) in range of average total length from $2.99{\pm}0.23\;cm\;to\;18.52{\pm}1.07\;cm$ and average body weight from $1.03{\pm}0.18\;g\;to\;120.64{\pm}19.32\;g$, experiments were performed for 140 days by feeding four experimental diets supplemented with $0\%,\;3\%,\;5\%\;and\;7\%$ of seamustard powder. In addition, the tests on tolerance of the fishes against low $O_2$ saturation and starvation were carried out after the feeding experiments. The fishes fed diet supplemented with $5\%$ of seamustard powder revealed the best results in growth of total length and body weight. Crude lipid content in the whole viscera of fishes fed diets supplemented with seamustard powder was higher than that of fishes fed diet without seamustard powder, while the moisture, crude protein, crude lipid and crude ash composition in the dorsal muscle did not show any remarkable differences among diet groups with or without seamustard powder. Hematocrit and mean number of red blood cell in fishes fed diets supplemented with seamustard powder was elevated, despite of no notable changes in mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. The resistance of the fish to low $O_2$ saturation was elevated by feeding seamustard powder. Upon the starvation of fish for 31 days after the feeding experiments, body weight loss of three groups fed diets with seamustard was smaller compared with the group fed diet without seamustard.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of partially substituting meat meal for fish meal on the growth and body composition of juvenile olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus during the winter season. Twenty-five fish (initial body weight, 23 g) were distributed into twelve 250 L flow-through tanks. Four experimental diets were prepared in triplicate: the control, MM20, MM40, and MM60 diets. Sixty percent mackerel meal was used as the primary protein source in the control diet. Meat meal was substituted for 20, 40, and 60$\%$ of the mackerel meal in the MM20, MM40, and MM60 diets, respectively. Survival was not significantly affected by the experimental diets. However, the weight gain and specific growth rate of fish fed the control, MM20, and MM40 diets were significantly higher than those of fish fed the MM60 diet (P<0.05). The feed efficiency ratio of fish fed the control, MM20, and MM40 diets was significantly higher than that of fish fed the MM60 diet (P<0.05). The protein efficiency ratio for fish fed the control diet was significantly higher than that for fish fed the MM40 and MM60 diets (P$\%$ substitution of meat meal for fish meal in the diet could be implemented without a reduction in growth or deterioration of the feed efficiency of juvenile olive flounder during the winter season.

Sorption properties of corn starch(CS) and Soy protein isolates(SPI) in plastic films packaging were investigates for binary system. The mixture were sealed in plastic films of low density polyethylene(LDPE), oriented polypropylene(OPP) and LDPE/OPP coated film and packaging effect on the changes of moisture sorption during storage at $40^{\circ}C$ were studied. The following results were obtained. The water vapor permeability of material films was $32.6g/m^2/24hrs(below\;g)$ for 0.02mm LDPE film, 14.01g for 0.04mm LDPE film, 7.30g for 0.02mm OPP film, 3.37g for 0.04mm OPP film and 4.869 for 0.02mm LDPE/0.02 mm OPP confine film at $40^{\cire}C$ 90%RH, therefore the OPP film was more effective than LDPE film on the resistance of relative humidity. And the OPP film packaging sealed mixture of food samples was also more elective then LDPE film, having same thickness for increase of water vapor permeability during storage at $40^{\cire}C$. A general increase in sorption rate was found more in SPI than CS in the packaged mixtures.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of muffins added with different amounts (0%, 3%, 6%, or 9%) of red ginseng marc powder. The specific gravity of red ginseng marc muffin batter significantly increased with increasing amounts of red ginseng marc powder (P<0.05). Weight and baking loss rate of muffin were not significantly different from those of the control. Volume, height, and pH of muffins significantly decreased when amounts of red ginseng marc powder increased (P<0.05). The moisture contents of muffins added with red ginseng marc powder increased with increasing amounts of red ginseng marc powder. The lightness and yellowness of muffins and dough increased as concentration of red ginseng marc powder increased. Redness decreased as concentration of red ginseng marc powder increased. DPPH radical scavenging activity of muffins increased with an increase in the concentration of red ginseng marc powder. The hardness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased with increasing red ginseng marc powder concentration. Adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, and resilience increased with addition of powder. Sensory test revealed no significant differences in color, texture, and mouthfeel between the muffin samples. Therefore, red ginseng marc powder can be incorporated into muffins up to 6% to improve functional quality of red ginseng marc and minimize changes in quality. Futhermore, this study proposes the possibility of development of various products using red ginseng marc.

Background: For various reasons such as agricultural and economical purposes, land-use changes are rapidly increasing not only in Korea but also in the world, leading to shifts in the characteristics of local carbon cycle. Therefore, in order to understand the large-scale ecosystem carbon cycle, it is necessary first to understand vegetation on this local scale. As a result, it is essential to comprehend change of the carbon balance attributed by the land-use changes. In this study, we attempt to understand accumulated soil carbon (ASC) and soil respiration (Rs) related to carbon cycle in two ecosystems, artificially turned forest into pastureland from forest and a native deciduous temperate forest, resulted from different land-use in the same area. Results: Rs were shown typical seasonal changes in the alpine pastureland (AP) and temperate deciduous forest (TDF). The annual average Rs was $160.5mg\;CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ in the AP, but it was $405.1mg\;CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ in the TDF, indicating that the Rs in the AP was lower about 54% than that in the TDF. Also, ASC in the AP was $124.49Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$ from litter layer to 30-cm soil depth. The ASC was about $88.9Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$, and it was 71.5% of that of the AP. The temperature factors in the AP was high about $4^{\circ}C$ on average compared to the TDF. In AP, it was observed high amount of sunlight entering near the soil surface which is related to high soil temperature is due to low canopy structure. This tendency is due to the smaller emission of organic carbon that is accumulated in the soil, which means a higher ASC in the AP compared to the TDF. Conclusions: The artificial transformation of natural ecosystems into different ecosystems is proceeding widely in the world as well as Korea. The change in land-use type is caused to make the different characteristics of carbon cycle and storage in same region. For evaluating and predicting the carbon cycle in the vegetation modified by the human activity, it is necessary to understand the carbon cycle and storage characteristics of natural ecosystems and converted ecosystems. In this study, we studied the characteristics of ecosystem carbon cycle using different forms in the same region. The land-use changes from a TDF to AP leads to changes in dominant vegetation. Removal of canopy increased light and temperature conditions and slightly decreased SMC during the growing season. Also, land-use change led to an increase of ASC and decrease of Rs in AP. In terms of ecosystem carbon sequestration, AP showed a greater amount of carbon stored in the soil due to sustained supply of above-ground liters and lower degradation rate (soil respiration) than TDF in the high mountains. This shows that TDF and AP do not have much difference in terms of storage and circulation of carbon because the amount of carbon in the forest biomass is stored in the soil in the AP.
