Abstract

The pork loin used in this study was obtained from carcass chilled for 24 hours after slaughter and divided into 2 pare. The first part was air packaged and the other part was vacuum packaged, both of which were chilled at $4^{\circ}C$. After 2 days of slaughter, the qualities of air packaged loin chilled for 1 day showed lower drip lose, higher water holding capacity and better sensory texture than the vacuum packaged port (p<0.05). On the other hand, the air packaged loin chilled for 2 days showed lower drip loss and shear force value(SFV), higher Hunter's $a^*$ value, higher amount of taurine and alanine, and better taste, texture, juiciness and palatability than the vacuum packaged pork (p<0.05). However, the air packaged loin chilled for 3 days showed lower hip loss, chewiness SFV, higher amount of VBN $(12.37\;mg\%)$ and total plate count $(2.6\times10^4\;CFU/cm^2)$ than the vacuum packaged pork chilled for the same day (p<0.05). for the same chilling period, there was not significant difference between air and vacuum packaged pork in pH, TBA value, $L^*$ value, $b^*$ value, cooking loss, hardness, springness, cohesiveness, gumminess, total free amino acid contents and cooked meat aroma (p>0.05). Considering all these results, it is recommended that the way of air packaging for the pork with a short storing period should be reconsidered to cut down expenses.

도축 후 24시간 냉장한 지육에서 양쪽 등심을 분할하고 한쪽은 진공포장, 나머지 한 쪽은 함기포장하여 $4^{\circ}C$에 냉장하였다. 그리고 냉장 1, 2 및 3일째의 물리화학적 품질을 비교하였다. 냉장 1일(도축 후 2일)째의 함기포장한 육은 진공포장한 육에 비하여 육즙 감량이 적은 반면 보수력과 관능적 조직감 평가 점수가 높게 나타났다(p<0.05).냉장2일째의 함기포장육은 진공포장육에 비하여 육즙 감량이 적고 전단력이 낮은 반면 적색도가 높고, taurine과 alanine 함량이 많으며, 기호도가 우수하게 나타났다(p<0.05).냉장 3일째의 함기포장육은 진공포장육에 비하여 육즙감량이 적고, 저작성 및 전단력이 낮은 반면 VBN 함량 $(12.37\;mg\%)$이 높고 일반 세균수$(2.6\times10^4\;CFU/cm^2)$가 많았으나(p<0.05), 신선도가 유지되고 있었다. 냉장 기간이 같은 경우, 함기포장육의 pH, 지방 산패도, 명도, 황색도, 가열 감량, 경도, 탄력성, 응집성, 뭉침성, 유리 아미노산 함량 및 가열육 향은 진공포장육에 비하여 유의적 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 이러한 결과들을 종합해 볼 때에 도축 후 유통 기간이 짧은 돈육의 경우 경비 절감을 위하여 진공포장 방법을 재고할 필요가 있겠다.
