This study was performed to measure the pH, proximate composition, physicochemical properties, changes of protein bands, Hunter color values and endpoint cooking temperature of chicken leg and breast muscles during cooking from 64 to 74℃ with 2℃ increments. Chicken leg had higher pH, moisture and fat contents (%) and lower protein solubility(P<0.05) than chicken breast. Although the cooking losses(CLs, %) of chicken muscles increased with increased cooking temperature, the addition of 2% salt did not affect CL. The redness values of chicken leg without 2% salt were higher than chicken breast, however, the addition of 2% salt reduced the differences of the redness. Protein solubility decreased with increased cooking temperatures and were not affected by the addition of salt, and no further changes were observed higher than 68℃. Protein bands having the molecular weights of 66 and 54kDa were disappeared in the chicken leg at the cooking temperatures of 66～70℃, whereas 66, 54 and 34kDa in the chicken breast. These protein bands could be used potential indicators to determine the endpoint cooking temperature in chicken muscles.

The current study was conducted to determine the effect of suspension method on satisfaction level of Korean consumers and objective meat quality traits in Hanwoo longissimus dorsi(LD), triceps brachii(TB) and semimembranosus(SM) muscles. Eighteen Hanwoo steers were slaughtered and alternative sides were hung either by pelvic bone(TS) or Achilles tendon(Al). Sensory characteristics, WB-shear force, sarcomere length, water-holding capacity, saroomere length and cooking loss were determined after a 7-d chiller ageing. Higher carcass quality grade received significantly(p < 0.05) greater eating quality for LD, but the grade did not affect eating quality for both TB and SM. TS did not influence objective and subjective meat quality for TB, but that significantly(P < 0.05) improved eating quality for LD and SM. The most noticeable result was that when SM was tenderstretehed, eating quality was equivalent to that of nonna1ly hung LD. In relationship between objective and subjective meat quality assessments, eating qualty for LD had a significant(P < 0.05) relationship with intramuscular fat content, while that for SM was greatly(P < 0.05) related to saroomere length. The current study indicated that pelvic hanging was an effective way to improve eating quality both LD and SM, and carcass quality grades did not greatly reflect eating quality of SM and TB. The data also implied that instnunental measurements poorly estimated the satisfaction level of Korean conswners.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of various temperatures of electro-magnetic resonance and air blast freezing methods on the physicochemical quality of meat. Beef (loin and round), pork (belly and ham) and chicken (breast and leg) were purchased at a commercial market, and the meat was frozen using three methods: air blast freezing ($-20^{\circ}C$ and $-45^{\circ}C$) and electro-magnetic resonance quick freezing. Changes in the physicochemical properties of meat were analyzed by drip loss, cooking loss, water holding capacity (WHC) and proximate compositions. In comparison, regardless of the animal species and cuts of meat, electro-magnetic resonance quick freezing (2 h) resulted in a completely frozen product in a much shorter time than $-20^{\circ}C$ and $-45^{\circ}C$ air blast freezing (24 h and 8 h, respectively). Drip loss of loin which had underwent electro-magnetic resonance quick freezing were significantly (p<0.05) lower than those of the other two treatments, but cooking loss and water holding capacity were the highest at 43.7% and 60.7%, respectively (p<0.05). Characteristics such as crude protein, crude fat and moisture compositions showed significant differences, depending on the cuts and freezing methods (p<0.05). The fat composition of electro-magnetic resonance quick frozen loin and round were significantly low (p<0.05). However, moisture content was the highest compared to other freezing methods, as 67.1% and 71.9%, respectively (p<0.05). Electro-magnetic resonance quick freezing was an appropriate way to reduce the deterioration of meat quality due to freezing, and the drip loss was least for the part with low moisture, low protein, and high fat.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of the fermented beef rib sauce (FBS) on the change of quality characteristics and sensory properties of aged and seasoned beef rib with FBS. The FBS was manufactured by fermentation with Zygosaccharomyces rouxii Y-80 yeast in raw sauce ingredients. The decreasing changes of pH of seasoned beef rib with FBS showed a similar pattern as compared with seasoned beef rib by non-fermented beef rib sauce (NFBS) during aging periods. The cooking loss of the seasoned beef rib with FBS and NFBS exhibited minor changes, respectively. Water holding capacity of the seasoned beef rib with FBS was nearly unchanged, but that of the seasoned beef rib with NFBS increased from 83% to 91% after 5 day aging. Shear forces of the seasoned beef rib with FBS were lower than those of the seasoned beef rib with NFBS. The yellowness and lightness of the seasoned beef rib with FBS decreased as compared with the seasoned beef rib with NFBS, but redness of the seasoned beef rib with FBS was more stable than that of the seasoned beef rib with NFBS. The sensory evaluation indicated that color, aroma and overall acceptability of the seasoned beef rib with FBS were scored relatively higher than those of the seasoned beef rib with NFBS.

Changes of Physicochemical compositions in domestic broiler chickens of different marketing standard range from 5ho (Korean traditional weight unite for chicken) to 16ho were assessed. The moisture contents of chicken breast were 74.00 ∼ 76.15% and there were no significant trend with weight difference. The chicken breasts of the light weight range(5ho∼8ho) contained high fat contents of 2.35∼2.78%. The chicken breasts of the heavy weight range(12ho∼16ho) contained low fat contents of 0.47 ∼0.66%. The chicken breasts of the heavy weight range had more protein contents than those of the light weight range. The chicken breast of the light weight range showed low Warner Braztler shear force (WBS) values when compared to those taken from chicken of the heavy weight range. However. there was no significant differences in water ho1ding capacity (WHC ) and cooking loss(p>0.05). In meat color the L* values (lightness) were 61.83∼71.33 and there were no significant differences for samples in different weight range except 5ho and 13ho. The b* valuers (yellowness) were 1.73 ∼6.79 and the values decreased with increasing chicken weight. In mineral composition. calcium and iron contents were decreased with increasing chicken weight. Phosphate, potassium and magnesium contents increased as weight ranges increased. The thigh meat separated from 11ho to 16ho had a similar tendency. In chemical composition(%). WBS, WBC. cooking loss, meat colors and mineral contents, compacted to breast in the same weight ranges. The results from this study would provide a basic information for establishment of marketing standard of chicken.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality change of pork patties containing silkworm powder and vegetable worm (Paecilomycis japonica) stored for 9 days at $5^{\circ}C$. pH values were higher in treatment groups than that in controls by storage day 6. L (lightness) and a (redness) value were decreased with increasing addition of silkworm powder and vegetable worm powder in pork patties (p<0.05). However, b value (yellowness) was increased with increasing addition amounts of the silkworm powder and the vegetable worm powder (p<0.05). Water holding capacity (WHC) of pork patties was not affected by the silkworm powder and the vegetable worm powder, while pork patties containing 0.4% silkworm powder (T2) showed low cooking loss (p<0.05). Pork patties containing either silkworm powder and vegetable worm alone or a combination of them showed lower lipid oxidation value than that of control (p<0.05). Sensory preference of pork patties was decreased with increased of storage days. The overall acceptance was higher in treatment groups than at control groups at the initial day (p<0.05), yet no significant difference was found during storage. From these results, 0.4% silkworm powder decreased not only cooking loss but also lipid oxidation of pork patties. Also, no adverse effect was found in water holding capacity (WHC) and sensory preference of pork patties. Therefore, the silkworm powder and the vegetable worm powder could be useful to pork meat product industry as additives.

This study investigated the effect of different electrical stunning methods on pH, water holding capacity(WHC), cooking loss(CL), meat color and blood spot rate in broilers. One-hundred and forty broiler chickens were slaughtered by 50, 65 and 90 voltage with the same electrical frequency(255 Hz) and stunning time(5 sec) in commercial abattoir. The ultimate pH of leg muscle and WHC of breast muscle decreased with increasing the stunning voltage. However, there were no significant differences in ultimate pH, WHC and CL of breast muscle, and ultimate pH of leg muscle. Lightness(L*) and yellowness(b*) values of leg muscle stunned with 90V, 255 Hz, 5 sec were higher than those stunned with 50V, 255 Hz for 5 sec(p<0.05). But there were no significant differences in color value on skin, breast and wing muscle. Our experiments showed that change of stunning voltage affected some broiler meat quality parameters. However, further research is necessary to examine the effects of stunning condition on broiler meat quality.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of glucomannan (GMN), carrageenan (CAR), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and transglutaminase-B (TGB) on the quality and storage properties of pork patties manufactured with pork skin connective tissue during 21 d of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Results showed that CIE color values like lightness, redness and yellowness did not differ significantly among the pork patties. Sensory attributes also did not differ between the treatments (P>0.05). However, cooking loss was significantly lower in the group with added GMN, CAR, CMC, and TGB compared to the control at 21 d of storage. The shear force value of GMN and TGB were lower than the control at 21 d of storage (P<0.05). The pork patties added with GMN and TGB had lower thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values than the control at 1 or 21 d of storage (P<0.05). Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values of all treatment samples was lower than the control at 21 d of storage (P<0.05). Therefore, result of cooking loss suggested that the decrease in shear force in GMN and TGB were due to higher moisture retention. Also, the pork skin connective tissue with added GMN and TGB decreased lipid oxidation of pork patties.

Effects of fermented food waste feeds on meat quality and physico-chemical characteristics of fully grown pigs were investigated. Two treatments were tried in this study; commercial feed (control) and fermented food waste feed(FFWF). Except for much thicker backfat of control, carcass traits, carcass weight, dressing percentage, carcass grade, cooking loss, shear force, water-holding capacity, drip loss, NPPC meat color, and marbling score of commercial feed(control)- and fermented food waste feed (FFWF)-fed pigs were not significantly different. Primal cut weights and meat percentages were significantly different (p<0.05) between control and FFWF. pH of FFWF loin was significantly lower (p<0.05) than that of control. FFWF loin showed higher L*-value and lower a*-value compared to control.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Jeju island's indigenous pork fed with citrus byproducts. Samples were the Jeju island's indigenous pork loin without citrus byproduct (JNP-0) and the Jeju island's indigenous pork loin fed with 8% and 15% citrus byproducts during growing and fattening periods (JNP-1). The pH, VBN content, bacterial counts, L* value, frozen loss, thawing loss, water boiling loss, hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and shear force value were not significantly different between JNP-0 and JNP-1 (p<0.05). The TBARS, a* value, b* value, water holding capacity, and pan boiling loss of JNP-0 were significantly higher than those of JNP-1 (p<0.05), but the gumminess of JNP-1 was significantly higher than that of JNP-0 (p<0.05). For sensory characteristics, taste, flavor, juiciness, and palatability were not significantly different between JNP-0 and JNP-1, but tenderness of JNP-1 was sig-nificantly higher than that of JNP-0 (p<0.05).
