We studied new product presentation strategies for cheongyang Lycium chinense, and the attributes of consumers purchasing cheongyang; this is a popular herbal medicine. Attributes are characteristics or properties of a product, and generally refer to features regarded as evaluative criteria during decision-making. The key phrases found on data analysis were "free from disease" and "health". Makers or producers must conduct research and development to promote consumer demand for Lycium chinense, and they must overcome any consumer-held negative images of Lycium chinense attributes.

Solvent-extracted volatile components from dry powder prepared from Citrus unshiu products such as immature Citrus unshiu (PCU), mature Citrus unshiu (MCU), Citrus unshiu peel (CUP), and citrus juice processing wastes (CJPW), were examined. Also, solvent-extracted volatile components from mushroom mycelia of Pycnoporus coccineus (PC), Lentinus edodes (LE), Pleurotus eryngii (PE), Hericium coralloides (HC), Panellus serotinus (PS), and Ganoderma lucidum(GL), all cultivated using citrus pulp solid media, were assayed. Twenty-nine volatile components were identified in dry powder prepared Citrus unshiu and 18 volatile components were characterized from mushroom mycelia. Of these, ${\beta}-elemene$, germacrene-D, and ${\delta}-cadinene$, were derived from CJPW, but caryophyllene, hexadecanoic acid, decanoic acid, and tetradecanoic acid were synthesized by mushroom mycelia.

The purpose of this research is to develop bellflower (Platycodon grandiflorum) root and lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) root Jeonggwa as a health food. The quality characteristics of Jeonggwa to which 0-8% (w/w) of Omija (Schizandra chinensis Baillon) water extract was added were investigated. The moisture contents of bellflower root Jeonggwa were 14.9-18.0%, where as that of lotus root Jeonggwa was 6.9-8.4%. The acidity of bellflower root Jeonggwa was 0.477-0.585% and that of lotus root Jeonggwa was 0.513-0.572%; values increasing levels of Omija extract. The lightness (L) and yellowness (b) values of bellflower root Jeonggwa decreased with increasing amounts of Omija extract, and the lightness (L), redness (a) and yellowness (b) values of lotus root Jeonggwa decreased with increasing Omija extract concentration (p<0.05). In mechanical tests with bellflower root Jeonggwa, the highest values of hardness and strength were seen at 2% (w/w) extract, of cohesiveness were seen with 4-8%, of springiness with 2-6%, of gumminess with 6-8%, and of brittleness with 4-6% (all p<0.01). In mechanical tests with lotus root Jeonggwa, the highest values of hardness and springiness were at 0 and 6% extract, respectively, whereas strength, gumminess and brittleness were at 6-8% Omija extract (all p<0.01). In sensory evaluation, the highest acceptability of bellflower root Jeonggwa was seen with 4% extract and that of lotus root Jeonggwa was seen with 2% extract.

This work measured the approximate levels of chemical components in the fleshpeel of unripe peaches picked at different times. The unripe samples were divided into two groups. Group I was picked on April 20 and Group II on May 2. Both samples were analyzed for organic acids, free sugars, Brix values, acidity, amino acids, and minerals. The major organic acid contents in Group I and Group II samples were oxalic acid> citric acid> malic acid> tartaric acid. The order of major free sugarin Group I and Group II samples were arabinose> sucrose in flesh and arabinose> glucose> sucrose in peel. The order of amino acid levels in all samples was aspartic acid> proline> glutamic acid> serine> leucine> lysine. The Brix values, acidity levels, and pH values of all samples were in the ranges of $7.6-9.8^{\circ}Brix$, 0.50-0.55 % and 4.13-4.17, respectively. The order of mineral content in all samples was K> Ca> Mg> Na.

This paper focused on the detection of the genetically modified soybean (Glycine max L. MERRILL) samples to search for the speedy analysis methods. We have identified the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) assay with a newly developed technique called DHPLC (denaturing high performance liquid chromatography) to screen the GMO in soybean. The DHPLC is i1s ability to directly detection specific sequences of DNA by using column. With these characteristics. the DHPLC assay had the advantage of simplicity, rapidty could obtain result within 20 minutes. Whereas $15{\times}10^{-4}ng/{\mu}L$ concentration could be detected with the PCR analysis, $15{\times}10^{-5}ng/{\mu}L$ concentration could be detected with the DHPLC method. Therefore, DHPLC method was considered to be a simple, fast and sensitivity screening method rather than PCR analysis for GMO detection in soybean.

The antimicrobial properties of methanolic extract (PML) from Prunus nune byproducts after liquor manufacturing weremeasured using various putrefactive and food spoilage microorganisms. PML showed remarkable antimicrobial effects against various putrefactive and food spoliage microorganisms when used at 500g/mL. The antimicrobial properties were stable for 30 min at 100C and at pH 3 11. PML seems to be a natural antimicrobial agent with high effectiveness, and shows both thernal and pH stability. In addition, the mode of antimicrobial action suggests that the active components may synergistically perturb microbial membrane functions.

The purpose of this research is to develop bellflower (Platycodon grandiforum) root Jeonggwa as a health food. The Omija (Schizandra chinensis Baillon) water extract with 0-8% (w/w) Jeonggwa added was stored at $25^{\circ}C$ for 12 weeks. The quality characteristics of Jeonggwa during storage were investigated. The Jeonggwa showed a lower pH and a higher acdity as the amount of Omija water extract that was added increased. The moisture content of Jeonggwa were rose from 15-18% to 16-22% within 2 weeks of storage, and remained at that level up to the end of storage. The total viable cells of bellflower root Jeonggwa were 2.1~2.3 log CFU/g and increased in number during storage but never exceeded 4 log CFU/g. The shelf life of the Jeonggwa was extended when the Omija extract was added. The lightness (L), redness (a) and yellowness (b) of the Jeonggwa during its storage at $25^{\circ}C$ were highest in control samples, and the values decreased with the increase in the Omija extract concentration (p<0.001). The mechanical evaluation of the Jeonggwa showed that various tested parameters fell during the storage at $25^{\circ}C$. The hardness and strength of the Jeonggwa significantly decreased as the Omija extract concentration rose (p<0.05). In the ensory evaluation tests, the acceptability of the Jeonggwa was optimal when 4~6% of Omija extract was added to it.

The effects of dip treatments of chemicals (ascorbic acid, cystein, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, histidine: 1% solution) and medicinal herbs (Pueraria thunbergiana, Angelica gigas, Dioscorea japonica, Lindera strychifolia, Cnidium officinale, Astragalus membranaceus: 1% extracts), heat shock ($40-60^{\circ}C$ water), and edible coating (albumin, dextrin, sucrose poly ester, whole soy flour: 0.5-4% solution) on the browning degree of fresh-cut 'Fuji' apples were studied. Among the each treatment methods, the surface browning of fresh-cut apples was best retarded by calcium chloride dip, Astragalus membranaceus dip, $45-50^{\circ}C$ heat shock, coating with 3% dextrin or 1% whole soy flour. The results suggest that the treatments of medicinal herbs extracts, heat shock, and edible coating can be used as alternative for the use of chemical agents for the antibrowning of fresh-cut apples.

England's green belt policy as it delivered its framework to designating the development restriction zones(DRZ) in Korea is the key to address issues which try to change green belt boundary or/and housing development. Therefore it should necessarily be reviewed on the understanding of how England has been formulating a national policy to deal with the issues focusing on opportunities for housing development and recreation. This study explored the discourse and framework of England's green belt policy as well as driver changes of housing development and recreation. Results show several characteristics of England's green belt policy which are civil society consensus on conservation and management, limited small-scale housing development through management of release rates, a systematic procedure for application and approval, open-recreation space expansion and utilisation under the premise of conservation of natural green areas, and management structure by the involvement of NGO organisations. Therefore, five suggestions can be delivered to developing Korea's DRZ frameworks: first, preceding social consensus on the preservation value of development-restricted zones, second, addressing housing shortages in different alternatives e.g.) environmental-friendly small-scale housing, third, institutionalising the total proportion of release, fourth, establishing an open-recreation space, fifth, introducing expanded public-private partnerships. Ultimately securing the legitimacy of the nation's development-restricted zone system can contribute positively to the environment preservation and human health by promoting public leisure activities in terms of the recent increase in external activities caused by the Covid-19 crisis. Concluding remarks are here that the understanding of England's green belt policy can be delivered to and help formulate domestic policy addressing current issues.
