Aerodynamic forces and moments have been used to control rocket propelled vehicles. If control is required at very low speed, Those systems only provide a limited capability because aerodynamic control force is proportional to the air density and low dynamic pressure. But thrust vector control(TVC) can overcome the disadvantages. TVC is the method which generates the side force and roll moment by controlling exhausted gas directly in a rocket nozzle. TVC is classified by mechanical and fluid dynamic methods. Mechanical methods can change the flow direction by several objects installed in a rocket nozzle exhaust such as tapered ramp tabs and jet vane. Fluid dynamic methods control the flight direction with the injection of secondary gaseous flows into the rocket nozzle. The tapered ramp tabs of mechanical methods are used in this paper. They installed at the rear in the rocket nozzle could be freely moved along axial and radial direction on the mounting ring to provide the mass flow rate which is injected from the rocket nozzle. In this paper, the conceptual design and the study on the tapered ramp tabs of the thurst vector control has been carried out using the supersonic cold flow system and schlieren system. This paper provides the thrust spoilage, three directional forces and moments and distribution of surface pressure on the region enclosed by the tapered ramp tabs.

Multilayer edible coatings was applied to lemon with beeswax-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (BW-HPMC), soybean oil-carboxymethyl cellulose (SBO-CMC), and carnaubawax-shellac-locust bean gum (CW-SL-LBG), respectively. The multilayer was composed of two layers of the same material, but the outer layer only contained vitamins C and E as antioxidants. Coating amounts built on lemon peel were measured to be large in the order of CW-SLLBG> BW-HPMC> SBO-CMC. The coated lemons were stored at 30${^{\circ}C}$ for 12 days. CW-SL-LBG showed the least change during the storage in weight loss, rotten rate, firmness, and browning. Whereas SBO-CMC had the least change in pH, soluble solid amount, and titratable acidity. In a sensory test, CW-SL-LBG was evaluated to be the best in the attributes such as spoilage, glossiness, color, firmness, and flavor. Overall CW-SL-LBG was judged to be the best for multilayerd coating with vitamin C and E on lemon.

This study investigated the efficacy of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation in enhancing the quality of raw bovine milk by targeting microbial populations and lipid peroxidation, both of which are key factors in milk spoilage. We categorized the raw milk samples into three groups based on initial bacterial load: low (<3 Log 10 CFU/mL), medium (3-4 Log 10 CFU/mL), and high (>4 Log 10 CFU/mL). Using a 144 W thin-film UV-C reactor, we treated the milk with a flow rate of 3 L/min. We measured the bacterial count including standard plate count, coliform count, coagulase-negative staphylococci count, and lactic acid bacteria count and lipid peroxidation (via thiobarbituric acid reactive substances assay) pre- and post-treatment. Our results show that UV-C treatment significantly reduced bacterial counts, with the most notable reductions observed in high and medium initial load samples (>4 and 3-4 Log 10 CFU/mL, respectively). The treatment was particularly effective against coliforms, showing higher reduction efficiency compared to coagulase-negative staphylococci and lactic acid bacteria. Notably, lipid peroxidation in UV-C treated milk was significantly lower than in pasteurized or untreated milk, even after 72 hours. These findings demonstrate the potential of UV-C irradiation as a pre-treatment method for raw milk, offering substantial reduction in microbial content and prevention of lipid peroxidation, thereby enhancing milk quality.

This study was conducted to evaluate microorganism contamination of food utensils and service facilities in school and to prevent hazards by food poisoning occurrence. As a result, the highest number of microorganism growth plate ($12.3{\pm}2.6$) was detected in total bacteria test plate, and also observed $10.3{\pm}3.9$ growth plates in Staphylococcus aureus test plate and $9.5{\pm}3.9$ growth plates in E. coli and coliform bacteria test plate. But we could detect to the lowest number of growth plates ($1.5{\pm}1.0$) in Vibrio test plate. We also assessed that floors were appeared to the highest microorganism contamination rate in food utensils and service facilities. Therefore, $4.5{\pm}0.6$ growth plates was detected in pre-operation floor and $4.3{\pm}1.0$ growth plates in floor. And high level of microorganism contamination also observed in tables as $3.3{\pm}1.0$ growth plates in cooking table and $3.0{\pm}0.0$ growth plates in dining table. The level of microorganism contamination of food utensils such as kitchen knife, cutting board, and food tray were lower than that in food service facilities. We analysed microorganism contamination according to purpose of use in kitchen knifes and cutting boards. The microorganism contamination rate in fish kitchen knife ($2.0{\pm}0.8$) and fish cutting board ($1.3{\pm}1.5$) were slightly higher than that of others purpose of use. As a result of microorganism identification, various strains of microorganism were contaminated in food service facilities and some strains could detected more than two times. Especially, Staphylococcus aureus was repeatedly identified in cooking table, trench, and kitchen knife. Bacillus cereus was identified in kitchen knife, and then Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were also detected in food utensils and service facilities as known to food spoilage microorganisms. Klebsiella pneumoniae was detected four times repeat, which widely distribute natural environment as normal bacterial flora but sometimes cause acute pneumonia. These results suggest that food utensils and service facilities are contaminated with not only major food poisoning microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, but also food spoilage microorganisms. Taken together, strict personal hygiene control and efficient food service facilities management will be needed to enhance food safety in school feeding and to improve student health.

The effects of $SO_2$ treated pads ($SO_2$ 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg) on the quality of dried persimmons slices were investigated. The $SO_2$ treated pads for storage did not affect to weight, moisture loss rate, and soluble solid contents of dried persimmons slices. The color change after storage for 12 weeks was the highest (value = 3.5) in control ($SO_2$ 0 g/kg), whereas that was the lowest (value = 2.0) under $SO_2$ 2 g/kg condition. When we measured the browning degree after 12 weeks, they showed O.D. 0.24, 0.22, 0.20, and 1.7 in serial dilution treated pads with $SO_2$ 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg, respectively. The decaying rate was the highest (7.0%) in control after 12 weeks storage, whereas it did not show any spoilage in $SO_2$ 1 g/kg and 2 g/kg treated condition for whole storage period. The concentration of residual $SO_2$ in dried persimmons slices was detected within a safe range of 20.3~40.3 ppm. Therefore, the shelf-life of dried persimmons slices was lengthened in $SO_2$ treated pads (especially in $SO_2$ 2 g/kg) for inhibiting of browning and decaying.

The effects of $SO_2$ generating pads ($SO_2$ 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg) on the quality of dried persimmons slices were investigated. The $SO_2$ generating pads for storage did not affect to weight, moisture loss rate, and soluble solid contents of dried persimmons. The color change(E) after storage for 12 weeks was the highest (value = 3.5) in control ($SO_2$ 0 g/kg), whereas that was the lowest (value = 2.6) under $SO_2$ 2 g/kg condition. When we measured the browning degree after 12 weeks, they showed O.D. 0.15, 0.14, 0.10, and 0.05 in serial dilution treated pads with $SO_2$ 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg, respectively. The decaying rate was the highest (9.0%) in control after 12 weeks storage, whereas it did not show any spoilage in $SO_2$ 2 g/kg treated condition for whole storage period. The concentration of residual $SO_2$ in dried persimmons was detected within a safe range of 3.3~97.0 ppm. Therefore, the shelf-life of dried persimmons was lengthened in $SO_2$ generating pads (especially in $SO_2$ 2 g/kg) for inhibiting of browning and decaying.

According to changes in population, economic conditions, life-stile and eating habits, the frui ts and vegetables market wi 11 be shi fted from processed (i. e. , canned) to fresh. Undressed fresh produce, consisting of washed, disinfected and peeled fruits and vegetables that either sliced or grated, are currently increased in demand by retail and institutional market which use them as salad components or in ready-to use foods, Main attributes of minimally processed fruits and vegetables are convenience and fresh-like quality. Minimally processed Products readily deteriorate in quality, especially color and texture, as a result of endogeneous enzyme enhanced respiration and microorganisms which lead to reduced shelf Iife.

Undressed fresh produce, consisting of washed, disinfected and peeled fruits and vegetables that either sliced or grated, are currently increased in demand by retail and institutional market which use them as salad components or in ready-to use foods, Main attributes of minimally processed fruits and vegetables are convenience and fresh-like quality. Minimally processed Products readily deteriorate in quality, especially color and texture, as a result of endogeneous enzyme enhanced respiration and microorganisms which lead to reduced shelf Iife. Thus. to prevent these undesirable changes , val'ious techniques such as controlled atmosphere (CA) storage, modified atmosphere OIA) storage, including vacuum packaging have been receiving considerable attention, Although milch research has been done to find optimal conditions for whole intact frui ts and vegetables, only limi ted information is avai lable on fresh cut. and other minimally processed products. 81 iced frui ts exhibi t increas~d ethylene production and respiration compal'ed to whole f, 'uits during distribution in response to tissue damage. As a result, accelerated senescence and enzymatic browning OCCUI', Recent l'esearch on minimally processed fl'uits and vegetables has mainly focused on methods to inhibit browning, due to ban on use of sulfur dioxide, In order to retard or prevent these physiological changes, val'ious al ternatives, reducing agents. acidulants, chelating agents and inol'ganic sal ts have been evaluated for use on fresh cut fl'ui ts. Al though some agents were effective replacement for sulfur dioxide. consum$\textregistered$I'S demandless use of chemical on such products. Shel~ life of minimally processed products has been extended by inhibition of metabolic reactions associated with loss of quality and by inhibition of aerobic spoilage caused by wide variety of microorganisms. Appl ication of ~I.-\ packaging, including vacuum packaging, retards the rate of respiration, prevents growth of aerobic spoilage organisms, inhibits oxidation and color deterioration. Tissue softening is another major problem in minimally processed products because enzymes re 1 a ted to ce 11 wa 11 degrada t i on are not inactivated. Various treatments have been investigated for retardation of the softening of sliced products. Some studies have concentrated on the application of an active packaging system with ~I, l. packaging and calcium infi 1 tration as possible measures to retain firmness of processed products. In my opinion, one important step for production of minimally processed frui ts wi th favorabl e color of cut surface and firm texture is the selection of better cultivar. As the view, changing tendency of fresh color by apple cultivars and relationship between the tendency and PPO activity will be discussed in the seminar. In addition to the topic, research result on quality enhancement of fresh apple slices by heat shock treatment will be introduced.

Changes in the various quality characteristics of hamburg steak depending on the packaging methods were investigated during storage at $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for up to 15 days. Three packaging treatments including vacuum packaging (VAP), air-containing packaging (AC), and oxygen scavenger packaging (OS) were applied in this experiment. The initial total aerobe bacteria counts were identical at 2.3 log CFU/g in all treatments, but the growth rate of total aerobe bacteria in the AC samples was significantly faster than the VAP and OS samples during storage. The changes in the TBA and VBN values over the storage time showed that lipid oxidation and protein spoilage developed fastest in the AC sample, followed by OS and then VAP samples. The instrumental color and texture profiles were not significantly differ between treatments during storage (p>0.05). After 12 days of storage at $5^{\circ}C$, evaluation of the samples' sensory attributes showed that the AC samples had become unmarketable with a score of less than 5.0 points for all sensory properties, whereas the VAP and OS samples were still marketable.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of fermenting temperature on the applicability of Lactobacillus plantarum for production of fermented sausages as starter cultures, and its applicable efficiency was also compared with those inoculated with commercial starter culture or non-inoculated control. The L. plantarum isolated from a naturally-fermented meat, identified by 16S rDNA sequencing and again identified by de novo Assembly Analysis method was used as a starter culture. Six treatments: 3 with L. plantarum at different fermenting temperatures (20, 25 and $30^{\circ}C$), and other 3 treatments (1 with commercial starter culture, 1 with its mixture with L. plantarum and 1 non-inoculated control) fermented under the same conditions ($25^{\circ}C$) were prepared. Results revealed that the fermenting temperature considerably affected the pH change in samples added with L. plantarum; the highest pH drop rate (1.57 unit) was obtained on the samples fermented at $30^{\circ}C$, followed by those at $25^{\circ}C$ (1.3 unit) and $20^{\circ}C$ (0.99 unit) after 4 days fermentation. Increasing the temperature up to $30^{\circ}C$ resulted in significantly lower spoilage bacteria count (5.15 log CFU/g) and lipid oxidation level in the products inoculated with L. plantarum. The sensory analysis also showed that the samples added with L. plantarum at $30^{\circ}C$ had significantly higher odor, taste and acceptability scores than those fermented at lower temperatures. Under the same processing condition, although the L. plantarum showed slightly lower acidification than the commercial starter culture, however, it significantly improved the eating quality of the product.

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of vacuum, 60% $N_2/40%$ $CO_2$, 100% $N_2$ and 100% $CO_2$ were examined to preserve fried fish cakes and extend their shelf life. When product packages in air were stored at 5, 10, and $15^{\circ}C$ with measurement in quality attributes, aerobic bacterial growth was found to be primary quality factor to determine the shelf life of the product. Huang's model was adopted to obtain the parameters for use in shelf life determination for a variety of packaging and storage conditions. Temperature dependence expressed in Arrhenius equation showed activation energies of 139.4 and 41.8 kJ/mol for inverse of lag time and growth rate of the microbial spoilage, respectively. MAP of 100% $CO_2$ could double the product shelf life at $10^{\circ}C$ compared to air package. High $CO_2$ concentration MAP at low temperature was found to be effective to prolong the shelf life.
