It was attempted to find a method to prevent greening of crushed garlic. The storage conditions and heat treatments before crushing were tested for the prevention of greening in crushed garlic. 'Namhae' garlic (sub-tropical type), 'Seosan' and 'Danyang' garlic (traditional) type for cool area) were stored in room temperature(20${\pm}5^{\circ}C$, low temperature(0$^{\circ}C$), and CA(O$_2\;3%,\;CO_2$ 5%) storage for five months, and their samples were crushed. The crushed garlic had no significant differences in greening according to the cultivars. Greening did not occur for the crushed garlic from bulbs stored either in room temperature or CA storage. Greening was the unique symptom observed in crushed garlic from bulbs stored in low temperature. For the prevention of greening, heat treatment was conducted at 40, 35 and 30$^{\circ}C$ prior to make the crushed garlic from bulbs which were stored in low temperature. The effective duration of heat treatment before crushing was 7 days at 30$^{\circ}C$, 3 days at 35$^{\circ}C$, and 1 days at 40$^{\circ}C$ Greening was most effectively prevented in 1 day at 40$^{\circ}C$ treatment. During the heat treatments, changes in enzymatic pyruvic acid content and sprouting rate were slightly observed in garlic bulbs treated at 40$^{\circ}C$ for 1 day.

The quality characteristics of the traditional Korean snack Yut-gang-jung with Perilla, and the changes that occur during storage were investigated. The water and protein content of a fresh sample were 9.67％ and 10.83％, respectively. The water content in the sample stored at 20$^{\circ}C$ changed slightly, but that of the sample stored at 60$^{\circ}C$ showed larger changes from 9.33 ％ to 4.33％. The acidity of the sample stored for 8 days was significantly higher. The hardness of the sample stored at 60$^{\circ}C$ for 4 days was increased significantly. Results of the sensory evaluation indicated the sample stored at 60$^{\circ}C$ had a significantly decreased roasted perilla flavor. The rancid flavor of the sample stored at 20$^{\circ}C$ increased slightly, while that of the sample stored at 60$^{\circ}C$ showed a drastic increase during storage. Therefore, a one week storage of the Yut-gang-jung with Perilla at room temperature is recommended for a product to have a shelf-life with similar physicochemical and sensory properties to fresh samples.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is any typical deformation pattern existing in complete denture when it was dried by using the 3D scanner and surface matching program. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 28 denture bases were fabricated with heat curing acrylic resin (each 14 upper and lower denture bases), and 14 denture bases (each 7 upper and lower denture bases) were stored in the water bottle (water stored), and another 14 denture bases were stored in the air (dry stored). Each specimen was scanned at $1^{st}$ day after deflasking, $14^{th}$ day after deflasking, and $28^{th}$ day after deflasking, and digitalized. Three dimensional deformation patterns were acquired by comparison of the data within storage group using surface matching program. For evaluating differences between groups, these data were compared statisticallyusing Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney-U test (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. When evaluating 3D deformation of denture base, obvious deformations were not found in maxillary and mandibular water storage group. However, in dry stored group, typical deformation pattern was detected as storage time passes. It occurred mostly in first two weeks. Major deformations were found in the bilateral posterior area in both maxillary and mandibular group. In maxillary dry stored group, a statistical significance was found. CONCLUSION. It was proved that in both upper and lower denture bases, dry storage caused more dimensional deformation than water storage with typical pattern.

An experiment was conducted to develop the simple methods of ginger storage which decrease the weight reduction and maintain good quality of ginger during the cellar storage. The stored boxes with volume of 0.03㎥ and ventilator diameter of 3, 4, 5cm was hurried under the ground(60, 80, 100cm) in the green house. During the cellar storage at the 100cm depth the average temperature and relative humidity in the stored box were remained in 11.7~16.3$^{\circ}C$ and 73%, respect. The higher storage amount and smaller size of ventilator size increased the CO2 concentration in the stored box, and the concentration in the stored box with 50% storage quantity rate and 3cm ventilator diameter size was more than 10% for about 2 months from early Feburary. The decay rate of ginger during the cellar storage increased with higher amount of storage quantity and smaller size of ventilator. The CO2 concentration was low and remained relatively constant with the deeper location of stored box under the ground, and the decay rate was lower in the deeper stored box. Germination rate increased with the deeper location of stored box, and with the lower storage quantity and larger ventilator size. The germination rate was low in the higher decay rate box. Weight loss, total sugar and moisture contents of ginger were decreased, while crude fiber and ash were increased during the storage.

Actomyosine prepared from Yellowtail fish(seriola quinqueradiata) were stored at $0^{\circ}C$(ice-cooling) -3.5$^{\circ}C$(partial freeaing) and -2$0^{\circ}C$(freezing) Another actomyosin samples were prepared from the fish previously stored at the temperatures for a week as the maximum .Remaining activity of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}}-and {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}}- dependent adenosine triphosphatase(ATPase) activity was measured fronm the actomyosin preparations. Specific activity of {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}}-ATPase of actomy-osin before storagew was 0.253$\mu$ mole pi/min/mg of protein and it was 1.5 times higher than that of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}} -ATPase. The enzyme activities were markedly decreased during early period of storage. However no significant differences in the enzyme activity were revealed among the samples stored at different temperature. The enzyme of actomyosin prepared from the fish previously stored at the temperatures for a week revealed an acitivity of 2-3 times higher than that of freezing. Apparent denaturation constant of {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}} -ATPase of actomyosin was between 0.810-1.139 per day and it was about 1.5 times hgiher than that of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}} -ATPase. But the constant of {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}} ATPase of actomyosin extracted from the fist stored for a week at each temperature was between 0.176-0.356 per day. This constant was 4 times higher than that of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}}- ATPase in frozen stored fish. It was presumed from these results that denaturation of ATPase is largely accorded to the structural changes of actomyosin.

This study was carried out to determine the optimal storage conditions by examining the effects of the storage conditions on the quality of red pepper powder during storage in households. Red pepper powder was stored at room temperature ($20^{\circ}C$), refrigeration (2 and $-1^{\circ}C$) and frozen (-5 and $-20^{\circ}C$) for 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. The ASTA color value, capsanthin content and redness ($a^{\ast}$) of the red pepper powders stored at -5 and $-20^{\circ}C$ were not decreased significantly depending on the storage temperatures until 9 months. The pH of red pepper powder stored at $20^{\circ}C$ decreased significantly until 9 months and increased at 12 months. The microbiological quality of the red pepper powder stored at -5 and $-20^{\circ}C$ was more stable during long-term storage. In the sensory evaluation of red pepper powder stored under all conditions, the overall freshness, redness, hot flavor, moisture release, and edibility decreased with increasing storage period from the control to 12 months. Moisture release increased from 3 months to 12 months. Overall, red pepper should be stored at low temperatures (2, $-1^{\circ}C$) for up to 6 months, and frozen (${\geq} -5^{\circ}C$) for 6 to 9 months. The optimal temperature for long-term storage (${\geq}9$ months) was $-20^{\circ}C$.

In this study, the physicochemical properties of buckwheat flour and quality characteristics of brown-rice doughs containing various concentrations of buckwheat flour stored at $-18^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks and fermented were studied. The total polyphenolic contents, electron donating ability (EDA) of 0.5%, gelatinization onset temperature (To), gelatinization peak temperature (Tp), and gelatinization conclusion temperature (Tc) of buckwheat flour were 1,920.10mg%, 6.95%, $70.11^{\circ}C$, $78.21^{\circ}C$, and $84.05^{\circ}C$, respectively. There were no significant differences in the amount of yeast between brown-rice Jeung-pyun dough samples containing different levels of buckwheat flour and stored for different time periods. The amounts of carbon dioxide gas evolved from the brown-rice doughs were increased by increasing the concentration of buckwheat flour. The pH of brown-rice dough samples decreased with increasing storage period. Therefore, frozen brown-rice dough containing 6-15% buckwheat flour and stored for 3 weeks were the most desirable.

Seed morphology, physiology and environmental conditions have influence on germination of any tropical seeds and their appropriate handling, processing and handling enhances seeds emergent. This study therefore investigated effects of storage durations under different temperatures on germination of Bombax costatum seeds from different provenances. Fresh 25 seeds of B. costatum in four replicates were collected from four different provenances (Aponmu, Oluwa, Ibadan and Oyo). They were surface sterilized, thoroughly washed in distilled water and stored at four different temperature regimes: 28℃, 21℃, 5℃ and -17℃. Samples were taken every 2 months for germination test for 18 months. Germination assessment was carried out daily and recorded. The experimental design was 4×4×10 factorial in 4 replicates. Data were subjected to percentages and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results showed that there were significant differences among storage temperatures, storage durations and provenances on germination percentage. Freshly collected seeds from Aponmu and Oyo had the highest mean germination of 100% followed by seeds from Ibadan (89.3%). Seeds from Oyo provenance stored 5℃ had germination of 94.0%, 88.70% and 78.7% at 2nd, 4th and 6th month respectively. Seeds from Ibadan and Oyo stored at 28℃, 21℃ recorded 0.0% starting from 8 months of storage. Germination of B. costatum seeds from the four provenances decreased with increase in storage duration at different temperatures.

Purpose: Treatment of diabetic foot infection due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains challenging. Applying vancomycin-impregnated cement is one of the best methods of treatment. Vancomycin-impregnated cement has been used worldwide; however, to date, there is a limited number of studies regarding its use. We evaluated the duration of antimicrobial activity of vancomycin-impregnated cement stored at room temperature after manufacturing. Materials and Methods: The vancomycin-impregnated cement was manufactured by mixing 1 g of vancomycin with 40 g of polymer and adding 17.90 g of liquid monomer. The cement dough was shaped into flat cylinders with diameter and height of 6 mm and 2 mm, respectively. Another cement of the same shape without mixing vancomycin was prepared as the negative control. All manufactured cements were sterilized with ethylene oxide gas and stored at room temperature. Each cement was placed on Mueller Hinton agar plate lawned with standard MRSA strain. Standard vancomycin disk and gentamicin disk were placed together. After 24 hours, the diameter of inhibition zone was measured, and if the diameter was less than 15 mm, vancomycin-impregnated cement was regarded as a loss of antimicrobial activity. The study was repeated every 2 weeks until vancomycin-impregnated cements lost their antimicrobial activity. Results: Vancomycin-impregnated cement stored for a duration of 16 weeks created a 14 mm inhibition zone, while vancomycin disk created a 15 mm inhibition zone. Vancomycin-impregnated cement stored for a duration of 17 weeks created 7 mm and 9 mm inhibition zones, while vancomycin disk created 16 mm and 15 mm inhibition zones, respectively. Conclusion: We found a decrease of antimicrobial activity in vancomycin-impregnated cements after 16 weeks. After 17 weeks, they showed definite loss of antimicrobial activity. Therefore, we recommend not using vancomycin-impregnated cement spacers that has been stored for more than 16 weeks at room temperature.

In order to know properties in rice starch during storage of rice, rice starch from stored rice(stored at $5^{\circ}C$, R.H. 65% and $30^{\circ}C$, R.H. 85%, for 16 weeks) used in this experiment. Water binding capacity of rice starch increased for 8 weeks, and then it decreased. As the storage period took longer, swelling power and solubility, optical transmittance, blue value, total amylose content and soluble amylose content decreased. For the same periods, changes in rice starch from stored rice$(30^{\circ}C$, R.H. 85%) were made more than those in rice starch at $5^{\circ}C$, R.H. 65%. The granule shape of rice starch, irrespective of storage periods and conditions, didn't make a significant difference. The relative crystallinity of the rice starch by X-ray diffraction didn't distinctly changed till the second week. But, at the fourth week, that by X-ray diffraction significantly decreased, and then slightly decreased. As the storage period took longer, gelatinization temperature, melting temperature and melting enthalpy measured by DSC got higher, but gelatinization enthalpy got lower. For the same storage period, gelatinization temperature, melting temperature, gelatinization enthalpy and melting enthalpy of rice starch stored at $30^{\circ}C$, R.H. 85% made changes more than those of rice starch stored at $5^{\circ}C$, R.H. 65% did.
