Background : This study was conducted to determine out the effect of storage temperature on the quality of fresh ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) during distribution. Methods and Results : Fresh ginseng was washed, packed in $30{\mu}m$ low density polyethylene (LDPE) film, then stored at 0, -2 and $-4^{\circ}C$. After 4 weeks of storage, ginseng was then stored at $5^{\circ}C$, as a simulation of the distribution process. Ginseng stored at $-4^{\circ}C$ showed higher respiration rate, ethylene production and electrolyte conductivity during the distribution phase than those stored at 0 and $-2^{\circ}C$. Decay and browning rate rapidly increased following 3 weeks of distribution in samples stored $-4^{\circ}C$. However ginseng stored $-2^{\circ}C$, which is below freezing point, for 4 weeks did not show the physiological change or quality deterioration. Ginsenoside contents decreased during storage for all plant, but did not differ significantly between storage temperatures. Conclusions : Storage at temperatures below $-2^{\circ}C$ can negatively affect respiratory characteristics and electrolyte leakage and increase quality deterioration and decay rates during distribution.

Peeled chestnuts were stored at different temperatures($-10^{\circ}C$ and $-20^{\circ}C$) and for different times(0, 10, and 20 min at $90^{\circ}C$) for blanching over a 6 month period. Analyses were conducted for moisture content, total sugar content, browning index, polyphenol compounds, PPO activity, and SEM. Moisture content and PPO activity were increased by storage time. The increments for the samples stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ were lower that for the samples stored at $-10^{\circ}C$. The Browning index was increased by storage time, and increments for the samples stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ were lower that for the samples stored at $-10^{\circ}C$. Scanning electronic microscopy(SEM) studies were performed on peeled chestnuts. Results showed that the wrinkle structure of the cell wall was enhanced by storage time, and the level of enhancement was higher at $-10^{\circ}C$ than at $-20^{\circ}C$.

The quality of Jeung-pyun made with frozen rice batter was evaluated according to variations in the freezing temperature of the batter. The physicochemical sensory and rheological characteristics of Jeung-pyun were analyzed. The rice batter was stored at -20$^{\circ}C$, -40$^{\circ}C$, and -70$^{\circ}C$ for up to 4 weeks. Statistical data analysis was completed using the SAS program. The pH, and brix percentage of Jeung-pyun batter decreased during the fermentation. In carbon dioxide evolution during fermentation, the levels of the sample stored at -40$^{\circ}C$:, and -70$^{\circ}C$ for 3$\sim$4 weeks were significantly higher than that of the sample stored at -20$^{\circ}C$. The Jeung-pyun moisture content was not significantly affected by freezing temperature or storage times. Specific volume of Jeung-pyun made with rice batter stored at -40$^{\circ}C$, and -70$^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks was significantly higher than that stored at -20$^{\circ}C$. In sensory evaluation of the stored sample for 4 weeks, the overall quality of Jeung-pyun was not significantly different between with the control and the -20$^{\circ}C$ sample, and between the control and the -40$^{\circ}C$ sample. Among the rheological properties measured with a rheometer on Jeung-pyun made with batter stored sample for 4 weeks at -20$^{\circ}C$, -40$^{\circ}C$ and unfrozen batter, the hardness was increased over the storage time, but the difference was not significant. In conclusion, the most suitable freezing temperature of the rice batter for the manufacture of Jeung-pyun was proposed to be -40$^{\circ}C$.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of seed storage temperature and pre-treatment on seed germination, seedling quality and vigor index of wild Trichosanthes kirilowii and Trichosanthes kirilowii var. japonica. As a result the highest germination rate of T. kirilowii was the 95% at seed stored in room temperature and then soaking for 24 hours in $dH_2O$. And the highest germination rate of T. kirilowii var. japonica was 96% at seed stored in $2^{\circ}C$ and then soaking for 24 hours in $GA_3$ (100 ppm). But the seed germination rate was non-significance in pre-treatment at seed stored in room temperature $2^{\circ}C$. Seedlings of T. kirilowii and T. kirilowii var. japonica showed not only the best seedling quality but also seedling vigor index in seed stored at $2^{\circ}C$ and then soaking for 24 hours in $GA_3$ (100 ppm). In this research, T. kirilowii and T. kirilowii var. japonica seed were stored in room temperature or $2^{\circ}C$, and then sown in peat moss, seed germination rate was more than 90% and production of superior quality seedlings.

To give some information on the harvest and storage of Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita), the experiment was done to examine the effect of its harvesting date and storage method on tuber weight, tuberrelated characters during the storageor at the end of storage. The yam tubers harvested 4 times at 20 days interval from Oct. 15 were stored with different storage methods(pit, room and cold temperature) and on Mar.15. all the characters were measured. Fresh weight of the tuber harvestedafter Nov. 5 and stored were greater than that done on Oct. 15 while dry tuber weight did not have any difference between the harvesting dates. The fresh weigth done directly from the field on Mar. 15 was higher compared to the other harvesting dates owing to its higher moisture content. The rate of sound tuber stored at room or cold temperature condition was higher than that at the field at which the rate was greater at the harvest after late nov. compared to the earlier harvests. Although the two storages were similar at sound tuber rates and marketable yield, the tuber weight was more reduced when stored at room temperature than when done at cold temperature . Brightness and value 'b' of chromaticaity realted to the tuber coloring and sugar content were higher but moisture content was lowerwhen harvested on Oct. 15 than the other havesting dates. All the characteristics realted to the marketability after storage were nearly same when stored at room and cold temperature. Value 'a' of chromaticity and sugar content were higher when harvest on Mar. 15 than when harvested before Dec. 15 but the 'b' value and mositure content were reverse results.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of high temperature and humidity on the ageing of processed leaf tobacco. Four(1993) or six(1994) grades (Both flued-cured and burley) of processed leaf packed in carton box were stored under the natural and artificial conditions. When the Processed leaf was stored in the controlled mom at 40℃ with 75% R.H.(1993) for 40 days, the leaf pH was decreased. The decreasing rate of leaf pH was similar to that of leaf stored under the natural warehouse condition for 15 months. The degree of lightness and yellowness of leaf also decreased, while the decaying or darkening of the leaf was observed. When the processed leaf was stored in the controlled room at 35℃ with 65% R.H.(1994) for 90 days, the pH of flue-cured was decreased 0.22, which was similar to that of the leaf stored under the natural warehouse condition for 15 months, and the lightness, and redness of the leaf were higher than those of the control. As compared with the leaf stored under the natural condition for 2 years, the smoking quality of leaf stored under this condition was similar or somewhat better. The pH of burley tobacco changed little compared to that of flue-cured during storage in this study.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate changes of the marker compounds and anti-inflammatory effect of Gamisoyo-san decoction (GMSYS) depending on storage temperature and periods. Methods: GMSYS was stored at room temperature or refrigeration for 12 months. According to storage temperature and periods, pH and sugar content of GMSYS were measured. To determine the marker compounds of GMSYS, high-performance liquid chromatography analysis was performed. To estimate the anti-inflammatory effect of GMSYS, LPS-induced pro-inflammatory mediators and cytokines were measured in RAW 264.7 cells. Results: There was no change in pH and sugar content depending on storage temperature and periods of GMSYS. The contents of gallic acid and mangiferin in both of room temperature and refrigerated decoctions reduced with increasing storage periods. Chlorogenic acid was time-dependently decreased in case of stored at room temperature. GMSYS significantly inhibited the LPS-induced production of nitric oxide, prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) and IL-6 in RAW 264.7 cells. These effects equally maintained up to 3 months at both of room temperature and refrigeration. Since 4 months, the inhibitory effect of GMSYS on LPS-induced $PGE_2$ production was time-dependently reduced, and the decrease in $PGE_2$ inhibitory effect of decoction stored at refrigeration was lower than that of stored at room temperature. Conclusions: Our results indicate that the anti-inflammatory effect of GMSYS are maintained up to 12 months, but it shows optimal efficacy up to 3 months. It is recommended to store in a refrigeration for short periods since some components decrease as storage periods becomes longer.

This study was designed to verify the shelf-life of a freeze dried-block type of convenience food for rockfish Sebastes schlegeli seaweed soup product stored at different storing temperatures (25, 35, and 45℃) for 5 months. The polyunsaturated:saturated fatty acid ratio of the product stored at 25℃ was higher than that of products stored at 35℃ and 45℃ for 5 months. The colorimetric assessment indicated a noticeable decrease in the brightness of product color after 5months of storage at 35℃ and 45℃. Increased storage temperature and time negatively affected the product color. The products stored at 35℃ and/or 45℃ for more than 3 months tended to be more yellowish-red in color than those stored at 25℃ for shorter periods. No disease-causing microorganisms, including Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, posing health hazards to the human, were detected on food safety evaluation, regardless of storage conditions. Based on food visual shelf life simulator the shelf life of the rockfish seaweed soup was estimated approximately 22 months, considering the data from yellowness the safety factor of 0.7.

The purpose of current study was to evaluate the oxidative stability of soybean oil after frying according to storage temperature. The soybean oil after 10 times deep fat frying with potato sticks (10% w/w of oil) were stored during 10 days at 30, 60 and $90^{\circ}C$ and chemical properties were determined. The acid value and peroxide value were the highest and the iodine value were the lowest when the oil stored at $90^{\circ}C$. Expecially, the production rate of peroxide was fast at over $60^{\circ}C$. According to the results, frying oil should not be stored for more than 6 days at $30^{\circ}C$ after use. Since the oil used had already produced unstable peroxides, oxidation could proceed relatively quickly even at low temperatures. Therefore, it is desirable to keep the used oil at a temperature as low as possible.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of storage temperature(5$\^{C}$ and 25$\^{C}$) and time(1, 24, 48 and 72hours) on the retrogradation characteristics of mungbean starch gels by using differential scanning calorimeter, rapid visco-analyzer, $\beta$-amylase method, X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope. Endothermic peaks of gels stored at 5$\^{C}$ were shifted to the lower temperature than those stored at 25$\^{C}$ and endothermic enthalpy of gels stored at 5$\^{C}$ was greater than that stored at 25$\^{C}$. DSC thermograms showed that the retrogradation rate of gels stored at 5$\^{C}$ was higher than that shored at 25$\^{C}$. The pasting properties of the gels such as peak viscosity and final viscosity increased with increasing storage time except the gels stored at 25$\^{C}$ for 72 hours and this trend was more apparent at the storage temperature of 5$\^{C}$. The digestibility measured by $\beta$-amylase method decreased with increasing storage time and this trend was more apparent at the storage temperature of 5$\^{C}$. X-ray diffraction patterns of the gels stored at 5$\^{C}$ showed more distinct peak than those stored at 25$\^{C}$, but no difference was detected by the storage time. The microstucture of all the gels showed a well developed three dimensional network The network structure of the gels stored at 25$\^{C}$ formed a thick matrix after 72 hours and those stored at 5$\^{C}$ from the early stage of storage.
