Drip irrigation system is a low energy cost method which can efficiently save and supply water by dropping water slowly on the crop's root zone during crop growth. In the drip irrigation system, disk filters take an important role to physically remove impurity (inorganic and suspended organic) particles present in agricultural water which can cause emitter clogging. For the purpose, both top-and-bottom surfaces of the disk are grooved in micron size flowing from outside to inside. However, many congested flow paths in disk filter media incur higher head loss of inflow water resulting in relatively decreasing velocities depending on operation time than sand and mesh filters. Therefore, it is important to optimize the structure of disk filter in micro irrigation system. The head loss of disk filter media takes also charge of more than 60 % of total head loss in whole disk filter. This study is to find the appropriate cross-sectional shape of the disk groove to minimize the head loss by executing the experiment. The experiment used three disk filters that have similar filter body but have a half-elliptic and two kinds of triangular cross sections. The experimental results showed that the disk filter with half-elliptic cross sections of disk grooves have less head loss than the disk filter with regular triangular one.

The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics on the thermal denaturation of free drip released from pork loin during chilled storage using DSC(differential scanning calorimetry). DSC thermogram of drip released from normal pork(NORD) was characterized by a minor peak and two major peaks with temperature maxima at $61.5^{\circ}C$, $71.7^{\circ}C$ (associated with sarcoplasmic proteins) and $84.3^{\circ}C$ (associated with protein-protein interaction and aggregation). In the denaturation temperature of drip released from PSE pork (PSED), the peak(Tmax) at $59.0^{\circ}C$ was reduced by $2.5^{\circ}C$. When the thermograms were divided into segments correponding to the three peaks, $\Delta$H2 was shown to be reduced by 10% in PSED as compared to NORD. With the decrease in the solubility of sarcoplasmic proteins in PSE muscle, there was a corresponding increase the drip loss during the storage.

The present study was ,conducted to evaluate the effects of condensed phosphates on the refeezing damage of Alaska pollack muscle. The fillets were dipped in such solution as 5 and $10\%$ sodium polyphosphate, 1 and $5\%$ mixture of sodium polyphosphate and sodium pyrophosphate (1:1, w/w) for 1 and 5 minutes, respectively, before refreezing. And fillets were frozen at $27^{\circ}C\~28^{\circ}C$ and stored for 15 days at $-18^{\circ}\~-20^{\circ}$. The degree of denaturation was estimated by determining amounts of drip relased, content of total solids, nitrogen, and DNA in the drip an cooking-weight-loss. Phosphorus absorbed in the muscle was also determined. Phosphorus absorbed in the fillets treated with loft solution of sodium polyphosphate for 5 minutes amounted to 101 mg/100g muscle as $P_2O_5$. The absorption was dependent on tile concentration of treating solution rather than on the dipping time. The increase of phosphorus absorption seemed to affect to reduction of drip. Among the treating conditions, $10\%$, 5 minutes and $10\%$ 1 minute with sodium polyphosphate appeared most effective ones on drip reduction. The effect of $5\%$, minutes with the mixture of sodium polyphosphate and sodium pyrophosphate did not show so benefitable effect in refrozen fillets. As a tendency total solids, nitrogen, and DNA in tile drip varied proportionally to the amount of drip released. And the content of DNA was lower than the amount. Treatment, at higher the concentration and longer the dipping time, resulted in the lower cooking-weight-loss and the better quality on organoleptic test of thawed fillets.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of pH, drip loss, total plate counts(TPC) and 5. coli for exportation pork during storage at 0$\pm$1$\^{C}$ far 554days. 25 pigs were slaughtered at commercial slaughtering house and 6 portions such as loin, tenderloin, boston butt, knuckle, inner ham and outer ham were separated for each carcass after 24hrs and then storage at 0$\pm$1$\^{C}$ after vacuum packaged. pH were significantly decreased as the storage time increased for all portions. Drip loss of Boston butt was significantly lower than that of the other portions(p<0.05), whereas inner ham had the highest drip loss(p<0.05). TPC and 5. coli were significantly higher than that of the other treatments in Tenderloin and Boston butt(P<0.05).

Swine industry in Korea plays an important role in providing the meat for domestic consumption, and the number of pigs in Korea was about 9.72 million heads as of June, 2010. Meat quality is used to describe any traits which impact the consumer acceptability of fresh meat products. Meat color, firmness, water holding capacity, ultimate muscle $pH_{24h}$ (measured 24 hours post-mortem), shear force, and intramuscular fat percentage (IMF) are generally accepted as important indicators of meat quality and ultimately, consumer acceptance of fresh pork. The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for meat quality traits in Berkshire pigs. The heritability estimates for muscle $pH_{24h}$, lightness (CIE $L^*$), NPPC marbling were 0.61, 0.56 and 0.57, respectively, The heritability estimates for drip loss, cooking loss, shear force were 0.51, 0.66 and 0.56, respectively. The phenotypic correlations between $pH_{24h}$ and lightness (CIE $L^*$), drip loss, cooking loss were negative, ranging from -.45 ~ -.13. The genetic correlations between muscle $pH_{24h}$ and lightness (CIE $L^*$), drip loss were negative, ranging from -.35 ~ -.32. Genetic parameters obtained herein indicate that genetic improvement of muscle $pH_{24h}$ is not related to the NPPC marbling of meat, but rather to improved lightness(CIE $L^*$) and drip loss. Genetic trends of meat quality traits showed increased muscle $pH_{24h}$ and decreased cooking loss and drip loss.

The effects of type (high and low voltages) and time (3, 40 and 60 min postmortem) of stimulation on drip loss and meat color at 24 h post-mortem were determined on M. longissimus dorsi of 38 crossbred steers and heifers. In addition, the effect of pH early postmortem (70 min postmortem) on the rate and extend of meat tenderization was examined. Either high or low voltage stimulation at 3 min showed a tendency for faster pH decline (p=0.052) and higher drip loss (p=0.08), and improved the color dimensions of L*, a* and b* (p<0.01), compared to stimulation at 40 min. This was equivalent to approximately one unit of an AUSMEAT color chip. On the other hand, although there were significant differences in pH decline between high voltage stimulation at 40 and 60 min, and between low voltage stimulation at 40 min and control sides, drip loss and meat color did not differ significantly (p>0.05). The results suggested that early application of stimulation, regardless of type of stimulation, improved overall meat color at 24 h postmortem through its effect on faster glycolysing rate. However, if the pH decline was moderate, the benefit of electrical stimulation on meat color was not apparent. An intermediate pH decline resulted in the lowest shear force. Due to differential ageing rates the optimum pH at 70 min postmortem increased with ageing time from 5.96, 6.07, 6.12 and 6.14 for 1, 3, 7 and 14 days postmortem, respectively. This implied that a small difference in the rate of pH decline was important, especially carcasses stimulated for very early postmortem, and the optimum rate of pH decline varied with intended ageing period. The study suggests that the beneficial or adverse effects of electrical stimulation on drip loss, meat color and tenderness is determined by the rate of pH decline, rather than by stimulation treatment and time of application per se.

Treating pork loins with lactic acid cultures (Lactococcus lactis subsp. ATCC 11454 grown in 10% milk solids) during storage at 4$^{\circ}C$ were studied. 2-Thiobarbituric acid (TBA), color. and drip loss evaluations of refrigerated pork loins were assessed. Pork loins were immersed in solutions containing 0∼10% individual lactic acid cultures for 0∼5 min. Pork loins treated with 3.96 log units of lactic acid cultures after storage of 1 days as 4$^{\circ}C$ had no significant difference (P > 0.05) TBA values compared to those of controls. Pork loins treated with 3.96 log unitss of lactic acid cultures during storage of 9 days at 4$^{\circ}C$ had no significant difference (P > 0.05). Hunter color L* and b* values compared to those of controls. However, pork loins treated with 4.10 and 4.23 log unitss of lactic acid cultures after storage of 1 and days at 4$^{\circ}C$ had a significant difference (P < 0.05) Hunter color a* values compared to those of controls. Pork loins treated with 4.10 and 4.23 log unitss of lactic acid cultures after storage of 4 days at 4$^{\circ}C$ had a significant difference (P < 0.05) drip loss values compared to those of controls.

Short-bowel syndrome is functionally defined as a state of malabsorption following loss of small bowel, which comprises the sequelae of nutrient, fluid, and weight loss. The proximal segment of the bowel of a patient with intestinal atresia is usually grossly distended and atonic. In contrast, distal segment is smaller. For this reason, anastomosis of the proximal and the distal segment is technically difficult and may cause no propulsion even when they are anastomosed. We experienced that continuous drip ileostomy feeding with the secretions from the proximal stoma stimulated the distal bowel to accommodate and resolved many sequelae following loss of small bowel in a patient with short-bowel syndrome due to IIIa ileal atresia.

The study aimed to evaluate pork loin quality after short-term (ten-day) storage in a supercooling refrigerator. Pork loin samples were stored for 10 days in a traditional refrigerator (control) and a commercially available supercooling refrigerator (SC). Pork quality measurements included meat pH, meat color, water holding capacity (drip loss and cooking loss), tenderness (hardness), and a sensory evaluation. Temperature changes of 0.45 ± 0.2℃ and 0.02 ± 0.25℃ occurred in the control and the SC, respectively, during 10 days of storage. The temperature in the SC chamber did not remain below freezing point, failing to meet expectations. Regarding the pork quality measurements, only the drip losses in the control and the SC were significantly different (4.45% vs. 2.59%, p < 0.01) after 10 days of storage. There were no significant differences between the two types of refrigerator in terms of the other measurements. Additionally, the overall acceptability of the pork loin did not vary significantly between the control and the SC when the sensory evaluation was performed. Therefore, a commercial SC could prove beneficial in terms of water holding capacity during the short-term storage of meat. Further research should be performed to evaluate quality changes that occur during long-term storage of meat in SC s and evaluate a wide range of meat, such as beef and chicken.
