  • Interest in the use of smart packaging systems for food products has increased in recent years. Therefore, food researchers are focusing on the development of new indicator based smart packaging technologies by using anthocyanin-based natural dye. Anthocyanins are one of the plant constituents known as flavonoids and responsible for the bright and attractive orange, red, purple, and blue colors of most fruits, vegetables, flowers, and some cereal grains. Indicators of natural dyes such as anthocyanins could express the quality and shelf life of perishable food products. However, the sensitivity and stability for their use in smart food packaging should be established to reach the market proposals. This review article focuses on recent studies related to use of natural dyes based on anthocyanin for smart food packaging applications. This study offers valuable insight that may be useful for identifying trends in the commercialization of natural dyes or for identifying new research areas. This review also provides food and packaging scientists with a thorough understanding of the benefits of anthocyanin-based natural dyes for shelf life indicator when applied to package material specific foods and hence can assist in accelerating commercial adoption.

  • In this study, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are investigated as a practical solution to the challenge of designing an optimal platform for implementing algorithms in a wireless sensing unit for structuralhealth monitoring. Inherent advantages, such as tremendous processing power, coupled with reconfigurable and flexible architecture render FPGAs a prime candidate for the processing core in an optimal wireless sensor unit, especially when handling Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and system identification algorithms. This paper presents an effort to create a proof-of-concept unit, wherein an off-the-shelf FPGA development board, available at a price comparable to a microprocessor development board, was adopted. Data processing functions, including windowing, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and peak detection, were implemented in the FPGA using a Matlab Simulink-based high-level abstraction tool rather than hardware descriptive language. Simulations and laboratory tests were carried out to validate the design.

  • 본 논문에서는 물품관리의 효율성을 위해 모바일 RFID리더기와 스마트 모바일 기기를 이용한 스마트 선반 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템을 사용하여 관리자는 물품에 부착되어진 태그를 읽어서 실시간으로 물품의 상세정보를 열람할 수 있고, 선반에 부착되어진 태그를 읽어서 물품의 재고나 위치오류 상태를 파악할 수 있다. 이는 각 선반마다 RFID리더기를 부착시킨 형태의 기존의 스마트선반 시스템과 유사한 기능을 수행하면서도 구축비용과 물품 재질에 따른 인식 오류의 해결부담을 줄일 수 있는 효과가 있다.

  • 본 과제는 일반적인 선반 사용에 어려움과 불편함을 겪고 있는 노약자들을 위한 해결 방법으로 제안되었다. 스마트선반을 이용할 경우 스마트폰과 블루투스 연결을 하게 되며 앱과 연동하게 된다. 이때 초음파 센서가 선반과 장애자 사이의 거리를 측정하게 되며 거리 안에 들어오게 되면 스피커 모듈을 통해 알람이 울리게 되며, 시각장애인의 경우 선반의 위치를 알고 그 자리에서 원하는 선반의 층의 버튼을 누르거나 음성인식을 통하여 원하는 층을 말하게 되면 높은 위치에 있는 선반의 물건을 어렵게 꺼내지 않고도 원하는 위치에 올 수 있게 된다.

  • Component-based Development (CBD) is gaining popularity as an effective reuse technology. Especially commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components are mainly for inter-organizational reuse, rather than intra-organizational reuse. One of the essential tasks in CBD is to reuse the right components that provide the functionality and interface required by component consumers. If candidate components provide a limited applicability and customizability, a component consumer cannot reuse the components in application development. To resolve this partial matching problem, we need smart connectors that fill the gap between candidate components and the specification of components required. Previous researches about smart connector describe only connector types to resolve mismatch problems. However, previous researches do not address the identification and design method to resolve the problems. In this paper, we suggest taxonomy of various mismatch problems to identify partial match problems between requirements of the application and components. We identify smart connector types and suggest a systematic process for designing smart connectors using the taxonomy. Therefore, components that have the problems can be used to develop applications.

  • Bread making is based on several simple unit operations, basically kneading, fermentation and baking; however, it is still a quite complex process and bread quality can be strongly affected by minor details. The market of bread production is roughly shared at 50-50 between the industry market and the artisanal market, even though the frontier between these two players is not very easy. Different strategies have been developped by the industry to extend the shelf life of bread or to interrupt the bread making process. Freezing for example has been used form the 50s to extend the shelf life of bakery products. It was first applied to fully baked products and then to frozen dough which appeared as an interesting strategy to interrupt the bread making protocol. This paper presents a review on key issues of the frozen dough technology.

  • Oysters are a highly consumed seafood throughout Korea, but they have a short shelf life because they support rapid microbial growth due to their of high moisture content and fragile muscle tissue. We examined natural food additives including lactic acid bacteria fermentation powder, rosemary extract, and lemon juice for their ability to preserve raw oyster Crassostrea gigas quality. Samples were stored at 4℃, and microbiological and physicochemical analyses were conducted. Among the natural additives tested, lemon juice was the most effective. Lemon juice was thus applied at different concentrations (50-300 ppm) to quantitatively assess its effect on total viable cell count, pH, glycogen, soluble protein, and turbidity. 200 ppm was confirmed to be optimal, and is projected to extend shelf life by 2 days compared to the control group.

  • This study compared the effects of cocopeat and perlite growth media on the storability and quality of sweet pepper fruit stored using modified atmosphere packages (MAP) and carton boxes. The fruits were stored at 8℃ for 35 and 30 days, respectively. Perlite-grown fruits had a significantly lower size at harvest due to the medium's inability to hold plenty of water during the growing stage. Contrary to what is expected for small fruits, the result shows box-stored perlite-grown fruits to have lower weight loss and a longer shelf life than cocopeat-grown fruits, while MAP fruits have indifference. Perlite fruits also had a higher quality in terms of dry matter, soluble solids, and vitamin C, while box-stored fruits had a better visual quality. As expected, respiration and ethylene production rates were high, and fruits had similar after-storage firmness values. Based on the findings, perlite-grown sweet pepper fruits may have a better quality and give preference in a box storage condition.
