When the food garbage of general hospital was dried by the rapid steam drying process, the water content was changed to 1.3% from 77.8~82.8%. In this experiment, weight reduction rate was 80%, and electricity consumption was 2.4Kwh. Dried compost from this rapid steam drying process was brown pellets, which was consist of 27.77% crude protein and 3.19% crude fiber. Even though these pellets were slightly short of crude fat and crude ash content, these were analysed as a possible supplementary feed for pig. On the condition of drying food garbage mixed with 5% pulverized chaff, the necessary drying time was shortened by 1 hour, weight reduction rate was 76%, and reduction rate of electricity consumption was 42%. But contents of crude fiber and crude ash were increased to about 2 times. In case of adding new food garbage continuously to the composted food garbage mixed with 3.4% pulverized chaff, weight reduction rate and contents of crude fiber and crude ash were decreased gradually, but contents of crude protein and crude fat were increased. In case of composting food garbage from buffet, both drying time and electricity consumption were reduced, and ingredients of compost were higher than that of assorted feed for pig in the market.

TMR (total mixed ration) feed was developed by adding mugwort and was fed to Korean black cattle. The effects on the physicochemical properties of the Korean black cattle, when fed mugwort, were investigated, as was the feasibility of producing beef with high quality and functionality. Korean black cattle were reared by using basal TMR (control) and basal TMR supplemented with mugwort of middle fattening 4.6% and late fattening 6.5% (treatment). The content of total catechin in Korean black cattle fed with the control and treatment was 0.262 and 0.379 mg/kg, respectively, while the content of epicatechin was 0.042 and 0.059 mg/kg, respectively, both of which were a significant increase from feeding the cattle TMR with mugwort ($p$ <0.05). There was no significant difference between the control and treatment in terms of $L^*$ (lightness), $b^*$ (yellowness), pH, VBN (volatile basic nitrogen) content, bacterial counts, water-holding capacity, freezing loss, thawing loss, cooking loss, cohesiveness, chewiness, shear force, and sensory score. TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and springiness for the control were significantly higher than the treatment ($p$ <0.05). The $a^*$ (redness), EDA (electron donating ability), hardness, and gumminess for the treatment were significantly higher than for the control ($p$ <0.05). These results suggest that the feed containing mugwort can be used to improve color and increase antioxidant ability as functional feed.

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 conducted to evaluate the effects of a high protein diet containing barley on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs. A total of fifty six [(Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire${\times}$Duroc)] pigs (85.08 kg in average initial body weight) were used for a 6-week study. Dietary treatments included 1) Basal diet (CON) and 2) High protein diet with barley 5% (HB5). During the entire test periods, there were no significant differences in Average daily gain (ADG), Average daily feed intake (ADFI) and gain/feed ratio between treatments (p>0.05). The b value of M. logissimus dorsi muscle color was significantly increased in CON fed pigs compared to pigs fed the HB5 diet (p<0.05). The water holding capacity (WHC) was higher in HB5 than CON fed pigs (p<0.05). Also, drip loss was significantly decreased in HB5 compared to CON fed pigs (p<0.05). Backfat thickness, live weight, cold carcass weight, dressing, and carcass grade were not significantly affected by either treatment (p>0.05). In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that a high protein diet with 5% barley affects meat color, WHC and drip loss in finishing pigs.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of mulberry leaves and dandelion extracts on performance, proximate composition, heating loss, drip loss, and blood characteristics of chickens. One hundred sixty broiler chicks were fed diets for five weeks containing 1% mulberry leaves extracts (T1), 2% mulberry leaves extracts (T2), 1% dandelion extracts (T3), and 2% dandelion extracts (T4). At the end of five week feeding experiment, broiler were slaughtered, and stored at $4^{\circ}C$. T2 resulted in much better weight gain and feed conversion than other treatment groups. As storage time increased, all treatment groups resulted in increased heating loss and drip loss (P<0.05) but no significant difference were observed among the treatment groups. In blood composition, GOT (glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase), GPT (glutamic pyrubic transaminase), total cholesterol, and triglyceride were significantly decreased by the supplementation of mulberry leaves and dandelion extracts compared to the control (P<0.05). Especially, T4 was significantly (P<0.05) more effective in improving blood composition compared to other treatment groups. However, no significant difference (P>0.05) were found in LDL-cholesterol among all treatment groups. In conclusion, these data indicate that compared to other treatments, supplementation of 2% dandelion extracts (T4) were most effective in decreasing total cholesterol and triglyceride and increasing HDL-cholesterol.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in the physicochemical properties of five muscles from low-fat pork cuts during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 14d. As the chilled-storage time increased, the moisture and fat contents and the pH of the muscles did not significantly (p>0.05) change, but the water-holding capacity of the supraspinatus, semitendinosus, and longissimus dorsi muscles significantly (p<0.05) improved. The purge loss of the five muscles significantly (p<0.05) increased with the increase in the storage time, but their cooking loss and hardness did not significantly (p>0.05) change as the chilled-storage time increased. It can be seen from these results that the physicochemical properties of the five muscles do not changes greatly during the 14-day cold storage. Therefore, it is possible to distribute such five pork muscles to fresh-pork-meat retail stores or shops without meat quality degradation.

Disposal of food garbage in most large cities is very troublesome task. To date, microbiological treatment has been received an attention as a garbage decomposition process. In this study, the inoculation effect of some cellulase, amylase and protease-producing bacteria and photosynthetic bacteria on food garbage treatment was examined. They were added into a treatment reactor specially designed in this study together with food garbage and incubated in various conditions for 15 days and the removals of food garbage and foul smell produced during the treatment were analyzed. Average decomposition percentages of the inoculated food garbage in treatment reactor were 11 and 18.8% under intermittent aeration (once in a day) and continuous aeration conditions (2 L/min), respectively, and these were higher than removal percentages in the corresponding uninoculated reactors,3.4 and 13.8%. Optimal pH and temperature for food garbage decomposition by inoculated bacteria were pH 7.0 and $30^{\circ}C$. Maximal decomposition percentage in the inoculated food garbage was 35% under the optimal condition (pH 7, $30^{\circ}C$, and continuous aeration). The malodor compounds generated from food garbage treatment such as complex foul smell and sulfur compounds were effectively reduced about 84% and 25.5%, respectively, with a biofilter composed of purple nonsulfur bacteria trapped in sponge. This decomposing capability of food garbage by these bacteria can be utilized for the rapid and efficient treatment of food garbage.

This study carried out an experiment in order to compare thermal characteristics after collecting dust generated in the process of disposing of waste tire, plywood flour in the process of manufacturing plywood, salicylic acid dust in the process of manufacturing functional soap, and dust in the process of manufacturing wheat powder, which has potential fire and explosion hazard. According to the results of experiment, the analysis showed that all samples subject to the experiment were in the condition where heat flux decreased and temperature decreased as the quantity of added talc was increased. This shows that decomposition rate decreased, and hazard decreased. However, in all of samples subject to the experiment, as heating rate increased, endothermic onset temperature moved to the low-temperature part, and the amount of absorbed heat was largely increased. This showed that the decomposition hazard of sample increased as heating rate increased, according to the analysis. Besides, TGA experiment results showed that thermal stability was secured because total weight loss decreased as the amount of talc was increased for all samples subject to the experiment regarding the ratio of weight loss. It is expected that the continuous research and supplementation of dust explosion mechanism in the future will contribute to the establishment of measures for the effective dust explosion prevention.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of feeding illite(yellow soil component) on meat quality of pork. 40 pigs were fed with commercial formulated feed (control group) and 1% illite added feed(treatment group). Pigs grown up to 100~110kg of weight were slaughtered in commercial abattoir. After chilling for 24hours, samples were collected from M. longissimus dorsi muscle, and stored at $4\pm$$1^{\circ}C$ for analyses. The physico-chemical properties was determined during storage days as follows. Ultimate pH was not significantly different between control and treatment(pH 5.58 and 5.60, respectively). Water-holding capacity measured using filter paper press method of the treatment group was slightly higher than that of the control group. Cooking loss of treatment group were significantly lower than that of the control group at 1 and 7 days(p〈0.05). Shear force between control and treatment group was not different. L*- and a*-value were not significantly different between the two groups(p〉0.05), but b*-value of treatment group was lower than that of the control group(p〈0.05). The drip loss of all samples was increased with storage days, and that of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control at 1 and 3 day storage. Meat color measured using NPPC pork quality standards was not significantly different between the two groups(p〉0.05), but marbling content of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group(p〈0.05). Sensory characteristics of, flavor taste and tenderness did not show significant differences(p〉0.05), but juiciness of the treatment group showed higher value than that of the control group(p〈0.05)

In order to investigate the rheological properties of myofibrillar protein (MP) mixed with tapioca starch (TS; 0, 1, and 2%) at various salt concentrations (0.1, 0.3, and 0.45 M), viscosity, gel strength, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) were measured. Viscosity of MP increased with increasing salt concentrations (p<0.05), but not with the addition of TS. The addition of TS improved gel strength and cooking yield at all salt concentrations (p<0.05). DSC results demonstrated that the starting peak of TS gelation was observed at $55^{\circ}C$, however, no differences in peak were observed with various salt and TS levels (p>0.05). SDS-PAGE profile also showed no differences in protein bands for pork myofibrillar protein with various salt and TS levels. Based on the model study, pork model sausages with various levels of tapioca (0, 1, and 2%) and TG (1%) were manufactured. The pork model sausages with 2% TS increased pH and water holding capacity (p<0.05), while those with TGase (1%) increased most textural properties, regardless of the addition of TS. Thus, the combination of 1% TG with 2% TS improved the gel strength and water holding capacity in the meat products.
