Abstract

In this study, the effects of the chilling process after thawing on pork quality were investigated by comparing the physiochemical properties and palatability of the samples just after thawing(0-TP) and the other chilled at $2^{\circ}C$ for two days after thawing (2-TP). The samples used for this study were obtained from vacuum packaged frozen loin from crossbred black pigs reared on Jeju island, and frozen at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 1 month and 12 months, and then thawing them at $4^{\circ}C$ for 20 hours. In the case of loin that was thawed after freezing for 1 month, 2-TP showed a higher water holding capacity and myofibril fragmentation index, lower hardness and chewiness, as well as better juiciness and palatability than 0-TP. However, effects of chilling after thawing were not significant in the case of loin that had been frozen for 12 months.

개량흑돼지(105~110 kg)를 도축한 후 약 18시간 냉장하고 등심육을 분할하여 진공 포장하고 $-20^{\circ}C$에서 1개월 및12개월 동결한 후 각각 $4^{\circ}C$에서 20시간 해동하였다. 해동 직후의 것(0-TP)과 해동 후 $2^{\circ}C$에서 2일간 냉장한 것(2-TP)의 물리화학적 및 기호적 특성을 비교하여 해동 후 냉장이 품질에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 개량흑돼지 등심육을 1개월간 동결하여 해동한 경우, 해동 직후의 0-TP보다 해동 후 냉장한 2-TP가 보수력 및 근원섬유 소편화 정도가 높아지고, 경도 및 씹힘성이 낮아졌으며, 가열육의 다즙성 및 종합적 기호도가 향상되었으나(p<0.05) 12개월 동결한 등심육은 해동 후 냉장에 의한 효과가 유의적으로 크지 않았다.
