This study was carried out to determine the optimum temperature of the jicama pickle solution by evaluating physicochemical and sensory characteristics at various temperatures. The soaking solution of the jicama pickle was prepared at different temperatures (95, 75, 50, and 25℃). During storage, the titratable acidity, Brix, and the salinity of the jicama pickles increased, and these values increased with increasing temperature of the soaking solution. The higher the temperature of the soaking solution, the lower the L and b values. In all samples, the hardness increased rapidly until the 5th day of storage, and then gradually decreased. During storage, the jicama pickles showed a high tendency to harden at soaking solution temperatures of 75 and 95℃. Sensory evaluation indicated that the taste, flavor, crispness, and overall preference of the jicama pickle were higher at a soaking solution temperature of 75℃ and above. The higher the temperature of the soaking solution, the higher the acceptability. Based on these results, we conclude that soaking solution temperature of 75°¦95℃ in the manufacture of jicama pickles had a positive effect on the reduction in tissue softening and the sensory properties of the jicama pickle.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of storage temperature and time on hatch-ability of the commercial Ross broiler breeder eggs. In Trial 1,720 eggs collected in the morning were allotted to four storage time treatments (3, 5, 7 and 9 days), with three replicates per treatment. The storage temperature was fixed at $4^{\circ}C$. In Trials 2 and 3, similar protocol was used as in Trial 1 except that the storage temperature was fixed at $17^{\circ}C$ and $28^{\circ}C$respectively. In Trial 1, hatchability was significantly (P<0.05) reduced when the eggs were stored more than 3 days. In Trial 2, no significant difference was found among all treatments, indicating that, at 17$^{\circ}C$ storage temperature, the eggs could be stored up to 9 days without reducing hatchability. In Trial 3, however, hatchability of eggs stored for 9 days was significantly reduced compared to the other treatments. In conclusion, we found out that optimum hatchability can be achieved with a storage temperature of $17^{\circ}C$ for Ross broiler eggs stored for up to 9 days.

In this research, optimum design of the combined solar collector, geothermal heat pump and thermal seasonal storage system for heating and cooling a sample greenhouse is studied. In order to optimize the system from technical point of view some new control strategies and functions resulting from important TRNSYS output diagrams are presented. Temperatures of ground, rock bed storage, outlet ground heat exchanger fluid and entering fluid to the evaporator specify our strategies. Optimal heat storage is done with maximum efficiency and minimum loss. Mean seasonal heating and cooling COPs of 4.92 and 7.14 are achieved in series mode as there is no need to start the heat pump sometimes. Furthermore, optimal parallel operation of the storage and the heat pump is studied by applying the same control strategies. Although the aforementioned system has higher mean seasonal heating and cooling COPs (4.96 and 7.18 respectively) and lower initial cost, it requires higher amounts of auxiliary energy either. Soil temperature around ground heat exchanger will also increase up to $1.5^{\circ}C$ after 2 years of operation as a result of seasonal storage. At the end, the optimum combined system is chosen by trade-off between technical and economic issues.

Interests on renewable energy are increased due to oil price and environmental problems aroused from the fossil energy usage. In this study, performances of a solar assisted hybrid heat pump system are analyzed by experimental method. The developed system could runs at two types of operating mode. When the storage temperature is higher than the set temperature, the stored hot water in storage tank is supplied to the load directly. On the other hand, when the storage temperature lower than the set temperature, the water inside of the storage tank is used as heat source of the heat pump. In this study, the system control temperature for the alternation of the operating mode is set to $40^{\circ}C$ of the storage tank outlet. As results, it is founded that the COP of the developed heat pump system shows between 3.0 and 3.5. It is resonable performance for the heating system with a renewable energy as secondary heat source. The solar collect used in this study could supplies heat to the storage tank at over 400 W/m2 solar intensity. If the irradiation is lower than the 400 W/m2, the circulation pump stored and it could not supply heat to the storage tank. It is found that the difference temperature between the outlet of the storage tank and collector is $3^{\circ}C$. Even though, the extended study should be conducted to get a optimum performance of the developed system with various operating condition and control strategies.

The storage effects of satsuma mandarin(Citrus unshiu Marc. var. miyagawa) by humidity control during storage; 90% relative humidity (RH) and 85% RH at $3^{circ}C$, and room temperature were investigated. After 98 days' storage, weight losses were 3.40% for 90% RH, 6.92% for 85% RH, and 11.87% for room temperature storage. Decay ratio was increased rapidly from 3.87% on 98 days' to 48.75% on 126 days' storage for 90% RH. Soluble solids and flesh ratio were declined gradually, but the differences were not significantly. Firmness of fruits was continuously reduced during storage, especially on room temperature storage by the softening of the fruits. Acid content and vitamin C were gradually reduced during storage. Coloration was continuously progressed on room temperature, compared to cold storage. In order to keep freshness of the fruits, optimum storage period of early variety of Satuma mandarin was regarded for 100 days at $3^{circ}C$, 85% RH on the basis of sensory evaluation and chemical compositions.

In order to examine the changes of commercial value during storage conditions and shelf-life of Chungkookjang, response surface methodology of SAS program was applied to monitor orgenoleptic properties and color changes to determine optimum storage conditions. Lightness (L) value of vacuum-packed Chungkookjang showed under the 1% significance probability with high influence in all conditions such as sterilized temperature, storage time and storage temperature. Redness (a) value of vacuum-packed Chungkookjang was increased during highly sterilized and storage temperatures, and was individually influenced. One of the generally packed sample also showed that significance value was influenced under 10%, during high storage temperature. Yellowness (b) value of vacuum-packed Chungkookjang showed the significance probability under 1% during storage time and temperature, and under 5% during sterilized temperature. Also, stational point showed saddle type in both packaging samples. In case of vacuum-packed Chungkookjang, compatibility of odor was influenced by sterilized temperature under 10% significance probability. But generally packed samples have an effect on storage time under 1% significance probability effect on storage time, and sterilized temperature under 5%. In case of vacuum-packed Chungkookjang, compatibility of taste was highly concerned with storage time under 1% significance probability, whereas generally packed samples were concerned with storage temperature under 5% significance probability. Overall palatability of vacuum-packed samples showed maximum value of 5.15 on sterilized temperature ($61.92^{\circ}C$), storage temperature ($6.79^{\circ}C$) and storage time (56.48 days) during storage.

This study was intended to investigate the effects of solvents, particle size of a sample, sample to solvent ratio, temperature and time on the extraction of garlic oleoresin. Among eleven solvents used for oleoresin extraction from garlic, the optimal solvent was methyl alcohol. The most appropriate particle size of garlic, extracting temperature and mixing ratio of garlic to methyl alcohol were 20mesh, $25^{\circ}C$ and 1 to 3(w/w), respectively. On the basis of yield in oleoresin extraction, optimum extracting time was about 4 hours. The yield of oleoresin under the above-mentioned conditions was 21.3%. "L" and "b" as color appearance were decreased, whereas "a"was increased slightly during 60 days storage at 5$^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and 4$0^{\circ}C$. Changes in the pyruvate content showed close relation to pH value. During storage pyruvate content of garlic oleoresin was decreased as increasing storage temperature.

This study was carried out to know the characteristics of flowering and bearing fruit, the optimum period, regions and methods for seed harvesting, the optimum temperatures for seed storage and germination, and the optimum period for sowing at nursery bed and seedling transplanting of Valeriana fauriei Briquet. The flowering and bearing fruit of Valeriana fauriei was developed from the before-year root. Optimum period for seed harvest of Valeriana fauriei was from late July to middle August, and optimum areas were the high elevated areas over 500 m above the sea level as Jinbu-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do. Using of net-bag for seed harvesting was the effective method to gather the full ripe seed, and bagging of net-bag was necessary from the season of middle May that was the flowering middle-stage. Germination rates don't show the difference among the different temperatures of storage as approximately 41% at $-20^{\circ}C$, $2^{\circ}C$ or $20^{\circ}C$ of seed storage temperatures. The optimum temperature range was in $15{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ for seed germination at nursery bed. The optimum period for seed sowing at nursery bed was the late February, and the optimum period for seedling transplanting was the middle April.

This study investigated the effects of deep freezing and storage temperature ($-50^{\circ}C$, $-60^{\circ}C$, and $-80^{\circ}C$) on the quality and freshness of lamb. To compare the qualities of deep frozen and stored lamb, fresh control and normal freezing conditions ($-18^{\circ}C$) were adopted. As quality and freshness parameters, drip loss (thawing loss and cooking loss), water-holding capacity (WHC), texture profile analysis (TPA), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) were evaluated during 5 months of storage. Temperature influenced the drip loss and WHC, and deep freezing minimized the moisture loss during frozen storage compared to the normal freezing condition. Lamb frozen and stored at deep freezing temperature showed better tenderness than that stored in normal freezing conditions. In particular, lamb frozen at lower than $-60^{\circ}C$ exhibited fresh lamb-like tenderness. Regardless of temperature, evidence of lipid oxidation was not found in any frozen lamb after 5 months, while TVBN was dependent on the applied temperature. Therefore, this study demonstrated that deep freezing could potentially be used to maintain freshness of lamb for 5 months. From the quality and economic aspects, the freezing and storage condition of $-60^{\circ}C$ is estimated as the optimum condition for frozen lamb.

The acquistion and dyeability of the Gardenia jasminoides were examined to establish the optimum condition for extraction and storage in the process of obtaining the natural dye, Gardenia jasminoides colorant. Also the dyeability and colorfastness of Gardenia jasminoides were investigated. The results of this study are as follows. The optimum part-removed seed. In all experiments, the part of fat-removed seed and pericarp was used. The optimum condition for extraction of Gardenia jasminoides colorant was at 40℃ and for 90 min. in methanol. As storage temperature was higher, the absorbance of colorant extract decreased rapidly. The Gardenia jasminoides colorant exhibited dyeability to cotton, silk, wool, and nylon. The dyeability was the greatest in wool, and then nylon, silk, and cotton. Both wool and nylon had the greatest K/S value at pH3, however, nylon and cotton at pH 6 and pH 8 respectively. In addition, the increase in K/S value corresponded to temperature in wool and nylon, but the silk and cotton had the greatest K/S value at 60℃. Also, the K/S value increased in concomitant with the increased number of dyeing repetition. In the most cases, colorfastness of light was weak but colorfastness of laundry, sweat was relatively excellent.
