The effects of packaging materials, Ny/PE, PET/PE/Al, PET/PE/LDPE/CPP, and PET/Al/Ny/CPP, and packaging methods, atmospheric and vacuum packaging on physicochemical properties of onion Kimchi and rosemary-onion Kimchi were investigated. The maximun swelling days of packaging materials were increased more in rosemary-onion Kimchi than in onion kimchi, and they were in the order of PET/Al/Ny/CPP, PET/PE/Al, PET/PE/LDPE/CPP, and Ny/PE. The pH and reducing sugar contents of onion Kimchi and rosemary-onion Kimchi were decreased during storage. and those of lion Kimchi and rosemary-onion Kimchi packaged in PET/Al/Ny/CPP were higher than those in different packaging materials. Titratible acidity and vitamin C content of rosemary-onion Kimchi were lower than those of onion Kimchi, but there were no differences in the L and b values between two groups.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of packaging materials (Ny/PE, PET/Al/PE, PET/PE/LDPE/CPP, PET/Al/Ny/CPP films, and bottle) and packaging methods (atmosphere and vacuum) on the physicochemical properties of Onion Kimchi and Rosemary-onion Kimchi stored at $5^{\circ}C$. Reducing sugar contents and pHs of Onion Kimchi and Rosemary-onion Kimchi decreased, whereas levels of titratible acidity and vit C contents increased with increasing the storage time. The fermentation of Rosemary-onion Kimchi was slower than that of Onion Kimchi. PET/PE/LDPE/CPP film was the most effective for Onion Kimchi packaging among all packaging materials tested.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in combination with BN/PE film on the shelf life and quality of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce during cold storage. The total mesophilic population in the sample packed in BN/PE film under MAP conditions was dramatically reduced in comparison with that of PE film, PE film under MAP conditions, and BN/PE film. The $O_2$ concentration in the BN/PE film under MAP conditions decreased slightly as the storage period progressed. The coloration of the iceberg lettuce progressed the slowest when it was packaged in BN/PE film under MAP conditions, followed by BN/PE film, PE film, and PE film under MAP conditions. The shelf life of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce packaged in the BN/PE film under MAP conditions was extended by more than 2 days at $10^{\circ}C$ as compared with that of the BN/PE film in which the extension effect was more than 2 days longer than that of PE, PET, and OPP films.

The influence of packaging methods(0.03mmPE, 0.05mmPE, 0.1mmPVC, VACUUM) and marketing temperatures(2$0^{\circ}C$, 1$0^{\circ}C$) on the shelf-life and quality were investigated in yam(Dioscorea). Respiration, weight-loss and rotting-rate was reduced in polyethylene film packaging in the order of VACUUM, 0.1mmPVC, 0.05mmPE, 0.03mmPE and the effect was more outstanding at 1$0^{\circ}C$ than 2$0^{\circ}C$. The ethylene concentration of PVC packaging group was higher than that of other packaging methods, which was related with sprouting. firmness was higher in low-temperature than in room-temperature. PPO activity was lower in vacuum than in other packaging methods, which was associated with browning. The shelf-life of yam was the longest in vacuum Packaging, 3 weeks at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and more than 4 weeks at 1$0^{\circ}C$.

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) was assessed in terms of extending the shelf life of Solidago virgaurea spp. gigantea. In June 2005 Solidago virgaurea spp. gigantea were harvested from Ulleung Island, packaged in $30\;{\mu}m$ PP, $30\;{\mu}m$ Antifogging-OPP, $30\;{\mu}m$ LDPE, $18\;{\mu}m$ Macroperforated-HDPE, $60\;{\mu}m$ nylon/PE, or $85\;{\mu}m$ PVC/PE film, then stored at 4, 10 or $20^{\circ}C$ for up to 14 days. The $O_2$ concentration decreased to $9{\sim}10%$ in the PP and A-OPP packaging, to $12{\sim}16%$ in LDPE packaging, and to 2% in nylon/PE and PVC/PE packaging at $10^{\circ}C$. The $CO_2$ concentration increased to 5% at $10^{\circ}C$ in PP, A-OPP and LDPE packaging, but increased consistently in the nylon/PE and PVC/PE packaging. Weight loss was markedly reduced by all MAP films except M-HDPE, and which was enhanced with decreasing storage temperature. The soluble solids and pH were not affected by the packaging material at $4^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$, but were affected at $20^{\circ}C$. The highest score for sensory qualities (appearance, color and overall acceptability) was obtained for vegetables stored at $4^{\circ}C$ in PP films. Our results show that MAP using PP films and $4^{\circ}C$ storage can effectively maintain the quality of Solidago virgaurea spp. gigantea.

To improve freshness of onion(Allium cepa), it was packed with various packaging films and stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ until 52 days. During the storage, internal gas composition, weight loss, spout ratio, decay ratio, surface color were determined. The used packaging films are two-perforated LDPE (control), LDPE, CPP/OPP/PE, Nylon/PE and Ag-zirconium filled LDPE. Onions were prepared by peeling or dipping in GFSE(grape fruit seed extract) and packed under vacuum or atmosphere with the selective films. Anaerobic condition was shown in the Nylon/PE package after 4 days and, thus weight loss, sprout ratio and color were considerably poor. All onions in the vacuum package after 15 days were spouted. Onions in CPP/OPP/PE and functional film(Ag-zirconium filled LDPE) package showed aerobic respiration until 52 days. Thus, the quality of onions in these packages was superior to the control.

Physical and chemical changes of black rice cake were investigated to determine its packaging material during storage. Black rice cake was packaged with polyethylene(PE) or polypropylene(PP) film and stored in RH 65% at 20$^{\circ}C$ for 5 months. There were no differences between PP and PE films for color, hardness and rancidity during storage, while weight change and water activity were slightly different between two films. Weight and water activity of black rice cakes packaged with PE or PP were increased during storage. Weight change and water activity of PE were slightly higher than those of PP. In conclusion, quality changes of black rice cake packaged with flexible packaging materials were little different between PP and PE during storage.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of pretreatment and different packaging methods on the physicochemical properties of cold vacuum-dried peaches. All the dried peach samples were stored such as $N_2$ gas substitution, vacuum and passive packaged with polyethylene (PE) film and oriented polypropylene (OPP)/aluminum (Al)/PE film at $40^{\circ}C$ for 50 days. The weight change, pH, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, soluble solid-acid ratio (SS/TA), delta E, browning degree and phenolic compounds were analyzed. The weight change and pH were lower in the 0.1% vitamin C-treated group and were significantly lowest in the vacuum-treated OPP/AL/PE. The soluble solids content and the SS/TA were higher in the non-treated groups than in the vitamin C-treated groups. According to the packaging methods, the $L^*$ values were higher in the vacuum, $N_2$ gas and passive package, in that order. In addition, the browning degree and the delta E value were lower in the pretreated groups and significantly lowest in the vacuum-treated OPP/AL/PE with 0.1% vitamin C group. The phenolic compounds were high for the pretreated groups, according to the packaging methods (vacuum > $N_2$ gas> passive), and the OPP/AL/PE was significantly higher than the PE. These results suggest that different packaging materials and pretreatment methods affected the quality of the dried peaches, and the vacuum-OPP/AL/PE film packaging group showed a high quality.
