Fresh pasta was packaged in a modified atmosphere of 22% $CO_2$/78% $N_2$ and compared with a control air package for its quality changes during storage at 8$^{\circ}C$. The modified atmosphere packaging suppressed the microbial growth of total aerobic bacteria and yeasts/molds with a concomitant reduction in the rates of physical and chemical quality changes, and thus successfully extended the shelf life of fresh packs from 20 days of air packs to 40 days based on microbial criterion of 10$^{6}$ cfu/g. The shelf life extension was greater when the initial microbial quality of the product was better.

To delay the fermentation of Kimchi during storage and handling, adipic acid, was selected due to its low acid dissociation constant. Sensory evaluation was conducted to find maximum dosage of adipic acid which does not influence the raw taste of Kimchi and 0.12%(wt. of adipic acid/wt. of Kimchi) was selected. At $10^{\circ}C$, the optimum and maximum shelf life was respectively 3.2 and 2.3 times longer than that of control. At 15 and $20^{\circ}C$, extension of shelf life was as follows: maximum shelf life with adipic acid was extended about 2.3-2.7 times and optimum shelf life was 1.3-1.5 times.

The service life extension of the missile can reduce the replacement cost of the missile, maintain the combat power, and consist of the lifetime assessment of the shelf-life(energetic) items, the maintenance of the missile and upgrade of the related components. This technology should be developed together with the missile system and advanced sustainedly. It is a converging technology that combines various fields of expertise and long-term experiences and databases.

Nitrogen oxide gases which were produced by spontaneous reaction of nitrocellulose (NC) in the single base propellant accelerate the decomposition of propellant, and result in the reduction of shelf life, The amount of nitrogen oxide was reduced by the addition of $0.3wt\%$ CaCO3 to conventional stabilizer(DPA) which extended the shelf life of the single base propellant as much as twice compared with commercial propellant.

Starter cultures were developed for the extension of the shelf life of bread. Lactobacillus plantarum and Bifidoacterium longum were selected as the mixed culture with Propionibacterium freudenreichii. P. fredenreichii with B. longum and L. plantarum produced 2.261% and 1.715% total acid, and pH value of cultured solutions was near 3.95. Propionic acid was produced 14 ~16 mg/ml by P. freudenreichii with L. plantarum and B. longum during 17 days, which was more than that of L. brevis. The pH values of the bread were 4.83 and 4.89 in respect to B. longum and L. plantarum when the fermented products were used to make the bread. Mold was not found for 10 days of storage of the bread at room temperature when the fermented products of B. longum were used for making bread. 37$^{\circ}C$, pH 6.0 and the lowest agitation were optimum conditions for the production of propionic acid in the scaled up fermentation.

The rapid deterioration of fermented rice-wine, called Tak Joo and Yak Joo, is one of the serious problems for brewing and marketing in Korea. In this study the biochemical and microbiological investigations have been performed for extension of shelf-life of the rice-wine by the method of combined heat and radiopasteurization. Major microflora in this wine is proved as Saccharomyces cereoisiar, which is destroyed by h-at treatmznt ($70^{\circ}C$, 10 min.) combined with gamma-irradiation of 240 K, rads doses. The changes of chemical constituents of them were investigated during the storage period at room temperatures of summer days($33^{\circ}C$). The results of sensory test for gamma-irradiated rice-wine with lower doses show no significant unfavourable off-odor nor color change compared with the fresh rice-wine. Therefore, it is revealed that the combined process makes possible extension of shelf-life of fermented rice-wine in markets without any deterioration and loose of its particular tastes at least for three weeks.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in combination with BN/PE film on the shelf life and quality of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce during cold storage. The total mesophilic population in the sample packed in BN/PE film under MAP conditions was dramatically reduced in comparison with that of PE film, PE film under MAP conditions, and BN/PE film. The $O_2$ concentration in the BN/PE film under MAP conditions decreased slightly as the storage period progressed. The coloration of the iceberg lettuce progressed the slowest when it was packaged in BN/PE film under MAP conditions, followed by BN/PE film, PE film, and PE film under MAP conditions. The shelf life of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce packaged in the BN/PE film under MAP conditions was extended by more than 2 days at $10^{\circ}C$ as compared with that of the BN/PE film in which the extension effect was more than 2 days longer than that of PE, PET, and OPP films.

In this study, we have attempted to characterize the effects of encapsulated mustard oil with regard to the extension of the shelf life of kimchi. The quantity of mustard oil or encapsulated mustard oil added to the brined cabbage in this study was 0.05%(w/w). Overall, the fermentation processes in the encapsulated mustard oil-added kimchi (EMO) and mustard oil-added kimchi (MO) occurred at a slower rate than in the controls. The periods during which the MO and EMO kimchi samples were edible were prolonged for more than two weeks, according to measurements of pH, total acidity, and microbial changes. The overall acceptability of EMO was superior to MO throughout the entirety of the fermentation period. Sensory evaluation verified that EMO yielded a more favorable product than the MO and control varieties. Encapsulated mustard oil can be employed as a natural food additive to prolong the shelf life of kimchi, via an induced delay of the fermentation process.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of cocoon silk fibroin hydrolyzate(CSFH) on shelf-life extension of kimchi. CSFH was added in kimchi in the concentration of 0.3%(w/w), 0.6% and 0.9%. Kimchi with CSFH showed higher pH and lower titratable acidity than control and it was supposed that the growth of lactic acid bacteria was inhibited by CSFH. In model system, for complex lactic acid bacteria, CSFH showes antimicrobial activity.
