Green tea extract(GTE) was added to pall bread, prepared by the straight-dough method, and its effects on shelf-life(moisture, pH, titratable acidity, antimicrobial activity) and sensory quality of pan bread were evaluated. The results of those characteristics for staling indicated that quality of pan bread was significantly extended by addition of GTE. Growth of microorganisms was significantly inhibited by adding GTE to pan bread, and sensory quality on pan bread added GTE was no significant differ in color, flavour, hardness, chewiness and overall-quality than that of control group(0% GTE). These results suggest that the shelf- life of pan bread was extended by GTE.

Intense pulsed light(IPL) has been highlighted as an innovative nonthermal sterilization technology that can kill spoilage or pathogenic microorganisms by using short-duration pulses of intense broad-spectrum electromagnetic radiation. This paper examines the inactivation effects of IPL on Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa inoculated on seafood products such as salmon, flatfish, and shrimps and evaluates the possibility of extending the shelf-life of seafood products. The results indicate that the inactivation of microorganisms increased with an increase in IPL energy density($J/cm^2$) and a decrease in the distance between the sample surface and the lamp. In addition, temperature increases on the fish fillets during the treatments were well controlled within the range of 5.7~$9.8^{\circ}C$. The IPL treatment had a significant positive effect on the storage stability of seafood products at the storage temperature of $4^{\circ}C$ for 12 days. These results suggest that the storage period for fish fillets can be extended from 4 days to 6~8 days through the IPL treatment.

This study was aimed to investigate the physicochemical properties, texture, and antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of regular-fat sausages (RFSs) mixed with 0.25 and 0.5% of oven-dried and freeze-dried grape tomato powder (GTP, 150 ㎛) during storage at 4℃. RFSs were made by six treatments that included: control (CTL), REF (sausages with 0.1% ascorbic acid alone), F1GTPSs (F1) and F2GTPSs (F2) (sausages with 0.25% and 0.5% freeze-dried GTP), and O1GTPSs (O1) and O2GTPSs (O2) (sausages with 0.25% and 0.5% GTP oven-dried at 100℃). Sausages with added oven-dried grape tomato powders (OGTPs) showed decreased pH, lightness (L^⁎), total plate count (TPC), and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) compared to the sausages mixed with freeze-dried GTP (FGTPSs), but also had the highest redness (a^⁎) and yellowness (b^⁎) values among the treatments. With increasing levels of GTP, the hardness and chewiness of the sausages gradually decreased and these were decreased more in the FGTPSs (F) than in the OGTPSs (O). Compared to the FGTPSs, OGTPSs had higher antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, which extend the shelf-life of meat products. Application of OGTP to RFSs resulted in higher lipid antioxidant, antimicrobial activities, improving physicochemical properties and extended the shelf-life.

The studies were carried out to investigate the mixed effects of medicinal herbs, such as Lithospermum erythrorhizon and Glycyrrhiza uralensis(LG), and LG with chitosan(LGC) on shelf-life of kimchi fermented at 1$0^{\circ}C$ for 25 days. During the fermentation, pH was more slowly lowered in LG(1%, 3%) and LGC treatments than in control. Titratable acidity of these treatments was slightly lower than that of control. Viable cells of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria in kimchi added with LG(3%) and LGC showed inhibitory effects about 1.2~1.6, 1.3~1.8 log10 cycle. The sour taste of kimchi added with LG or LGC was changed more slowly than that of control during fermentation for 5 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$. But flavor, color and overall acceptability did not show significant differences(p<0.05) among treatments. The color of kimchi added with LG was improved significantly by adding of 1% chitosan. The shelf-life of kimchi added with LGC was extended about 10 days than control.

This experiment was carried out to find out the effects of packing methods on shelf-life and hy-giene of breast and thigh meats in chicken. The carcass weights were about 1.6 kg per bird, and chilled by air spray method. The breast and thigh meats were packed by either vacuum or atmosphere packing methods. Samples were analyzed at 1, 4, 8, 12 and 16 wk after quick freezing at -45˚C for 35 min. Regardless of packing method. The thiobarbituric acid(TBA) values of thigh meats after 1 wk of storage were higher than those of breast meats. The TBA values of both treatments were increased as storage period extended. In addition, the TBA values of vacuum packed meats were lower than those of atmosphere packed meats. The VBN(volatile basic nitrogen) values, regardless of packing method, at 1 wk of storage were higher than those of breast meats. The VBN contents of breast and thigh meats after 16 wk of storage increased markedly, but failed to show significant difference between the two packaging methods. Total plate counts of breast and thigh meats were increased gradually as storage period extended, and the total plate count of breast meat was higher than that of thigh meat. The coliform bacteria were not detected until 16 wk after storage.

The objective of this study is to determine the effect of soy protein isolate (SPI) film coating on the color, firmness, viscosity and weight loss of Rice Cake stored at 15, 20 and $25^{\circ}C$ (RH 50%) for 30 days. Raw materials mixed with SPI and cocoa powder (10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, w/w) were prepared. After adding sugar and shortening to raw materials, the mixture were refined to 25 micron of particle size. Coating of Rice Cake were carried out at $65^{\circ}C$. SPI coated Rice Cake had higher internal and external firmness comparing to the control at $25^{\circ}C$. SPI coated Rice Cake showed smooth surface morphology and had 0.71-1.01 mm of thickness. SPI coated Rice Cake showed less weight loss for 30 days compared to controls. SPI coating solution was successfully coated on Rice Cake and extended shelf-life over 15 days at room temperature.

Heat treatment is a fundamental processing technology in the dairy industry. The main purpose of heat treatment is to destroy pathogenic and spoilage promoting microorganisms to ensure milk safety and shelf life. Despite the development of alternative technologies, such as high-pressure processing and pulse field technology for microbial destruction, heat treatment is widely used in the dairy industry and in other food processes to destroy microorganisms. Heat treatment has contributed greatly to the success of food preservation since Pasteur's early discovery that heat treatment of wine and beer could prevent their deterioration, and since the introduction of milk pasteurization in the 1890s. In Korea, food labeling standards do not stratify heat treatments into low temperature, high temperature, and ultra-high temperature methods. Most milk is produced in Korea by pasteurization, with extended shelf life (ESL : 125--140℃ / 1-10 s). Classification based on temperature (i.e. low, high, and ultra-high), is meaningless.

Product quality and shelf-life effect of sodium lactate (SL) in combined with chitosans with various molecular weights (MW) in low-fat sausages (LFSs) stored at $10^{\circ}C$ were evaluated. LFSs with SL and chitosans had 75-76% moisture, 1-2% fat, and 15.8-17.1% protein with a pH range of 6.3-6.6. Water holding capacity was decreased, but most textural properties were increased with the addition of chitosan with MW of 30-40 kDa. Hunter a (redness) values were also increased with the addition of sodium lactate and chitosans in combination with laccaic acid at the level of 0.05%, resulting in similar Hunter a value of 150 ppm of sodium nitrite. The combination of SL and chitosans slightly extended the shelf-life of LFSs approximately 3-6 days at $10^{\circ}C$, resulting in inhibition the growth of L. monocytogenes and E. coli O157:H7, as compared to the control. However, the inhibition of microbial growth at $10^{\circ}C$ was not as strong as that at $4^{\circ}C$. Thus, the storage temperature should be as low ($<4^{\circ}C$) as possible to have a maximum antimicrobial activity in LFS containing SL and various chitosans.

The effect of chitosan in a salting step on the shelf-life to kimchi was investigated. Kimchi, prepared by using Chinese cabbages soaked in 10% salt solutions containing 0, 5, 10, 20 or 30% of 0.5% chitosan solution, was examined for taste and texture by sensory and instrumental evaluation during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$ for 20 days. Sensory tests of the control kimchi revealed a strong sour taste with poor crispness and overall taste after 10 days of fermentation. In comparison, the chitosan-supplemnted kimchi, especially that reated with 20 and 30% of a chitosan solution, revealed a sour taste only after 20 days of fermentation, while still maintaining good crispness and overall taste. Properties of hardness and gumminess of kimchi measured instrumentally were higher for the chitosan-added kimchi than for the control products. This increased with increasing volumes of chitosan solution throughout the fermentation periods. These results suggest that the shelf-life of kimchi can be extended approximately 10 days using Chinese cabbage soaked in 10% salt solutions containing 20 or 30% of a 0.5% chitosan solution.

This study investigated the quality of tofu prepared by treating soybean milk with deep seawater as a coagulant. The quality and shelf-life of the tofu prepared using the deep seawater coagulant were determined and compared to those using $CaSO_4$, surface seawater, and intermediate seawater coagulant. The tofu made with the deep seawater coagulant was firmest. In addition, the deep seawater tofu product had more, smaller particles in the microscopic view, compared to the tofu made from surface and intermediate seawater coagulants. The deep seawater tofu product had the lowest viable cell counts and turbidity. In addition, the deep seawater tofu product had a longer extended shelf-life. From these results, deep seawater appears to improve the texture, taste, and shelf-life of tofu when used as a coagulant.
