This study was designed to estimate the effect of ethanol addition on shelf-life extension and changes in growth of total aerobic bacteria in fresh wet noodles. The wet noodle was made with addition of 0, 1 and 2% ethanol. During the storage at $10^{\circ}C$, wet noodles were monitored changes in the total numbers of aerobic bacteria. A 6 log cfu/g was applied as a standard for microbiological quality of foods. As a result, the shelf-lifes of wet noodle with addition of ethanol at the standard were 9.17 days at no ethanol, 15.02 days at 1% ethanol and 27.03 days at 2% ethanol. The respective percentage increases in the shelf-life observed at both 1 and 2% ethanol addition were 63.8% and 194.8% comparing with no ethanol treatment. Consequently, addition of ethanol into fresh wet noodle inhibited growth of total aerobic bacteria and extended shelf-life.

The goal of this study was to provide shelf-life of Gugija-Liriope tuber raw makgeolli. After we prepared Gugija-Liriope tuber raw makgeolli by using Gugija, Liriope tuber, nuruk, cooked rice and Saccharomyces cerevisiae C-2, changes of its quality and physiological functionality were investigated during the storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. Ethanol contents was decreased from 8.3% to 7.2% for storage of 9 days at $4^{\circ}C$ and 6 days storage at $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. Antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity of Gugija-Liriope tuber makgeolli was increased from 63.1% to 66.0% after storage for 9 days at $4^{\circ}C$. Total acceptability of 9 days storage makgeolli at $4^{\circ}C$ was still good. In conclusion, shelf-life of Gugija-Liriope tuber raw makgeolli was 9 days at $4^{\circ}C$ in this respect of ethanol contents, antihypertensive action and total acceptability.

We conducted a study to select a suitable natural antioxidant from tocopherol, rosemary extract, and green tea extract to be added to commercially-available palm oil to extend the shelf life of non-dairy cream. The green tea extract (400 ppm added) was the most effective of the 3 antioxidants added to the palm oil, increasing OSI time by a factor of 2.3. By examining the correlation coefficients among parameters for storage period, the sensory score indicated that the non-dairy cream was suitable. The shelf life of the TE (green tea extract, 400 ppm) and TEA (TE plus 0.002% ascorbic acid) oils was extended to 24% and 51% more than that of the control at $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. At $20^{\circ}C$, the shelf life of the TE oil was 2.5 months and that of the TEA oil was 5.5 months, increases of 28% and 62.5%, respectively, over the control.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the depuration process (artificial seawater sterilization using UV light) for extending the shelf life of raw oyster Crassostrea gigas and maintaining food quality. To confirm the effects of depuration, microbiological (viable cell count) and several physiochemical analyses (pH and glycogen levels in shucked oyster and pH, soluble protein, and turbidity in filling water) were carried out during the storage of raw oysters. The results showed that depuration could effectively extend the shelf life (2-3 days) of raw oysters with minimal change in food quality, including pH and glycogen content. Thus, the depuration process proposed in this study could successfully be applied to processing practices for other shellfish to extend their shelf life and contribute to the management of seafood safety issues.

In order to extend the shelf-life of the low-salted Myungran-Jeot, before immersing alaska pollack roe, the salt solutions was adjusted to pH 7.0 and 4.7, respectively. pH during ripening was somewhat constant, whereas the content of lactic acid was slightly increased, and especially, that of pH 4.7 Myungran-Jeot was increased rapidly in the begining of fermentation period. $NH_2-N$ content of pH 4.7 Myungran-Jeot was increased with increasing fermentation period, whereas those of control and pH 7.0 decreased except the begining of fermentation period. The contents of TMA, TBA, and VBN of pH 4.7 were lower than those of control and pH 7.0. In addition, the mirrobial growth was significantly inhibited in pH 4.7 Myungran-Jeot. The estimated shelflives of control, pH 7.0, and pH 4.7 Myungran-Jeots were about 12, 12, and 16 days, respectively.

Traditional food soybean curd was prepared using the fresh fruit juice of Schizandra chinensis RUPRECHT(Omija) and Prunus mume(maesil), and investigated the optimal preparative conditions(water addition ratio, heating time of mashed soybean and fresh fruit juice concentration), physical properties, sensory evaluation and shelf-life. Soybean curd coagulated with 0.9% Omija juice showed the highest yield at $85^{\circ}C$, 12.5 times water addition and 5 min heating. For soybean curd coagulated with 1.5% Maesil juice showed the highest yield at $85^{\circ}C$, 10 times water addition and 5 min heating. The physical properties (hardness, adhesiveness, chewiness and gumminess) of soybean curd coagulated with juices of Omija and Maesil showed lower values for hardness, adhesiveness, chewiness and gumminess. However sensory scores of both were evaluated higher than those of coagulated with $CaSO_4$. The shelf-life of soybean curd prepared from Omija and Masil juices and then soaked in 0.1% acetic acid was better than that of coagulated with $CaSO_4$ or soaked in distilled water.

The shelf-life of fresh mushrooms is notably limited because their browning, texture change, and decay are too fast after immediately harvest. Especially, the best management for extending golden needle mushroom's shelf-life is modified atmosphere packaging under pressure vacuum at cold storage. In this study, three types of films, $20{\mu}m$ polyethylene+polypropylene (PE+PP), oriented polypropylene (OPP), and low density polyethylene (LDPE) were tested to extend the shelf-life of golden needle mushrooms. Mushrooms were packed under pressure vacuum and stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks. The golden mushrooms in LDPE film as a commercial packaging, were highly perishable and immediately proceed deterioration as browning, elongation, fluctuation of respiratory quotient (RQ) and softening within 7 days after packaging. On the other hand, the mushrooms in OPP and PE+PP film shown that shelf-life were extend to 14 days from 7 days, causing delay breakup of vacuum and maintenance of color, length, and RQ during storage. The breakup of vacuum in PE+PP film was faster few days than OPP film packaging. This present study indicated that the golden needle mushrooms by OPP packaging under pressure vacuum treatment might be extended the shelf-life until approximately 14 days during cold storage.

Foodborne diseases occur frequently and have various being related to the intake of contaminated foods. Seafood products are susceptible to contamination due to higher water content and microorganisms, which combine to give them a short shelf-life. Various approaches have been applied to overcome this problem. Edible coatings that are also biodegradable and biocompatible have been discussed as one of the applicable solutions. These coatings can actually help to maintain seafood quality by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and delaying the loss of moisture. This paper presents the effects of various natural bio-polymers, antimicrobial substances and physical sterilization techniques such as gamma irradiation, ultraviolet (UV) sterilization, and light-emitting diode (LED) sterilization on seafood coatings.

In order to understand the effects of a single or combined treatments of 1-MCP($1{\mu}L/L$) and $CO_2$(100%) on the firmness of melting type peach fruit(cv. Chunjungdo), fruit were harvested at commercial maturity and examined physiological changes including flesh firmness during 10 days of shelf-life. Firmness loss of fruit was delayed by both single and combined treatments of 1-MCP and $CO_2$. The treatment of 1-MCP was more effective than $CO_2$ treatment but no additive effective on firmness retention was found in the combined treatment. The upsurge of ethylene evolution occurred 5 days of shelf-life in air treated control but ethylene evolution gradually increased in fruit treated by 1-MCP and 1-MCP+$CO_2$. The suppression of ethylene evolution seemed stronger in $CO_2$ treatment. The respiration of fruit significantly inhibited up to 10 days except control where climacteric increase of respiration was found at 10 days of shelf-life. A molecular shift of pectic polymers(an increase of chelator soluble pectins and decrease of water soluble pectins) was induced by both 1-MCP and $CO_2$ treatments. An increase of water soluble pectins was coincident with firmness loss. The delay of firmness loss seemed to be associated with the migration of calcium to wall matrix, especially pectins, resulting in the increase of wall bound calcium. The polygalacturonase activity was significantly reduced by 1-MCP alone 1 day after treatment and increased to similar level of activity 5 days after treatment compared to other treatment except air treated control whereas pectin methylesterase activity seemed not to be affected by both 1-MCP and $CO_2$ treatments. Thus, the molecular shift of pectic polymers appeared not to be related with pectin methylesterase. Further study is required to clarify the softening mechanism associated with molecular shift of pectic polymers and the inter- or intra-cellular movement of calcium ions induced by postharvest treatments of 1-MCP and $CO_2$.
