The objective of this study was investigated to apply the fucoidan and laminarin extract from low-grade Undaria pinnatifida to real food product, a pork patty. Pork patties added with fucoidan and laminarin showed lower lipid oxidation and the inhibition against lipid oxidation was shown to be dependent on the irradiation doses. The Hunter color values of pork patty added with fucoidan increased significantly with an increase of irradiation dose. The hardness profiles of the patties with fucoidan and laminarin was decreased, but the amount of water in the patties was increased. Also, the combination of gamma irradiation and addition of fucoidan and laminarin was shown to be effective for the microbiological control. These results suggested that gamma irradiation and fucoidan and laminarin treatment showed the positive effect on microbial stability and quality of the pork patty.

Antioxidant activities of ethanol extracts of Rumex crispus (RC) were investigated in vitro. Contents of total polyphenols and total flavonoids in RC ethanol extracts were $108.24{\pm}3.29\;{\mu}g/mg$ and $33.06{\pm}2.24\;{\mu}g/mg$, respectively. The antioxidant capacities of RC extracts were high. The RC extracts were capable of directly scavenging DPPH free radicals by acting as reducing agents. This study was also conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of seasoned pork treated with RC extracts during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 21 days. Seasoned pork was produced containing 0, 1, and 3% RC extracts and 0.1% BHA. The DPPH scavenging effect of the seasoning sauces was increased by the addition of RC extracts. The total bacteria and TBARS values of seasoned pork with RC extracts were decreased compared to control, whereas coliform bacteria were not detected after longer storage periods. With regards to sensory evaluation, seasoned pork treated with 1% RC had stronger odor, juiciness, and tenderness compared to seasoned pork. These results suggest that it is possible to manufacture seasoned pork with RC extracts for the improvement of shelf-life and quality.

Experiments were carried out to investigate on the effect of cryoprotectants to the quality changes of pork and beef muscles during frozen storage . Beef and pork muscles were mixed with various cryoprotectants and stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ in a chest freezer for 12 weeks. Samples were analyzed for pH changes, TBA value, free atty acid contents, water and salt soluble protein extractability. The results obtained are summerized as follows. The pH value in all of cryoprotectants added samples were increased up to 0.25-0.5 as in non-treated samples . The TBA value, free fatty acid contents were increased with storage time as compared with the non-treated sample. Cryoprotectant effect on water soluble protein extractability was greater in pork than in beef muscle during frozen storage, especially in pork muscle treated CP-B, mixture of sorbitol, sucrose and sodium tripolyphosphate, as compared with non-treated sample. Cryoprotectant effect on salt soluble protein extractability during frozen storage was more pronounced in the beef muscle treated with CP-A which was mixture of sorbitol, mono sodium glutamate and sodium tripolyphosphate, and in the pork muscle treated with CP-B, mixture of sorbitol, sucrose and sodium tripolyphosphate than in the non-treated sample.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the microbial safety of raw pork used to produce Korean pork jerky. The raw pork samples harbored large populations of microorganisms. In particular, mesophilic bacteria were found to be most numerous $(3.9{\times}10^2-3.9{\times}10^5cfu/g)$ in the samples. Spore-forming bacteria and coliforms were not detected below detection limit. Yeast and molds were detected at $3.8{\times}10^1-5.1{\times}10^2cfu/g$ in the raw pork. Ten samples of raw pork were analyzed for the presence of pathogenic bacteria. Bacillus cereus was isolated from samples B and J and Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from sample B. The B. cereus isolates from raw pork samples were identified with 99.8% agreement and S. aureus isolate was identified with 97.8% agreement according to the API CHB 50 kit.

Ground pork was packaged(purged) with modified atmosphere (n$_2$ and CO$_2$) and irradiated with the electron beam in order to find out whether modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) inhibit the microbial growth and lipid oxidation development caused by electron beam irradiation. After packaging and irradiation, ground pork was stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 6 days and -15$^{\circ}C$ for 3 months, and periodically the microbial counts and the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) for the determination of lipid oxidation were measured. The inhibition of growth of total aerobic bacteria and mesophiles was confirmed when the ground pork was irradiated with the electron beam dose of 1.5 and 3.0 kGy. The N$_2$ or CO$_2$ purging alone was also effective in reducing the development of lipid oxidation of ground pork during storage at 4 and -15$^{\circ}C$. The combination of electron beam irradiation(1.5 and 3.0 kGy) with MAP (N$_2$ or CO$_2$) was effective to inhibit the growth of total aerobic bacteria and mesophiles, and retard the lipid oxidation of ground pork during storage at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 6 days and -15$^{\circ}C$ for 3 months.

Antimicrobial resistance of foodborne pathogens is an important food safety issue worldwide as well as in Korea. In this study, exposure to antimicrobial resistant (AMR) Stapylococcus aureus was assessed from the consumption of pork based food dishes prepared in food service operations using the Monte Carlo simulation. Thirty five isolates of S. aureus were obtained from 124 semi-processed pork products and their antibiotic resistance patterns were determined. The highest resistance was observed for penicillin (76.7%) followed by ampicillin (70.0%). Two isolates were resistant to oxacillin (6.7%) and no vancomycin resistance was observed. Dietary exposure to penicillin resistant S. aureus as the most frequently observed AMR S. aureus from pork-based dishes was estimated based on contamination data as well as compliance to guidelines for time and temperature controls during food service operations. The mean level of penicillin resistant S. aureus in pork dishes during preparation was below 1 Log CFU/g. As a conservative approach, 95th percentile estimated level of penicillin resistant S. aureus was below the level for toxin production. The estimated probability of staphylococcal intoxication by AMR S. aureus was very low using currently available data.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the addition of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) root and leaf powder on the quality characteristics of pork patties. The pork patties were of four types: nothing added (CTL), 0.5% lotus root powder added (LRP), 0.25% lotus root and 0.25% lotus leaf powder added (LRLP), and 0.5% lotus leaf powder added (LLP). There was no significant difference in $L^*$ value (whiteness), cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, water holding capacity, VBN content, and total bacterial amount. The moisture was highest in CTL, protein was highest in LRLP, fat was highest in LRLP and LLP, and ash was highest in LRLP (p<0.05). The total polyphenol content of the CTL, LRP, LRLP, and LLP were 3.34, 3.64, 3.90 and 3.90 mg/100 g, respectively. The $a^*$ value was highest in CTL, and the $b^*$ value of LRLP and LLP were higher than those of CTL and LRP (p<0.05). The hardness of CTL and LRP were higher than those of LRLP and LLP, and springiness was lowest in LLP (p<0.05). The cooking loss, thickness change, diameter changes, and pH were highest in CTL (p<0.05). The TBARS was highest in CTL, and was lowest in LLP (p<0.05).

Quality properties of pork restructured jerky manufactured using various concentrations of black rice powder were examined. The moisture contents and pH of samples increased with an increase in concentration of black rice powder. On the other hand, the protein and fat contents of samples decreased with an increase in concentration of black rice powder. Lightness, redness, and yellowness values of uncooked and cooked samples showed a downward trend with an increase in concentration of black rice powder. Water holding capacity and cooking yield of the samples containing 3% and 5% black rice powder were higher than those of the control and 1% black rice powder samples (p<0.05). Samples containing 3% black rice powder showed a lower shear force than that of the control (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation of color, flavor, tenderness, and overall acceptability were enhanced with an increase in concentration of black rice powder. These results show that supplementation added with black rice powder in pork restructured jerky enhances its quality properties.

This study was carried out to compare the quality properties of pork loin from pigs fed different levels of pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.) powder. Twenty female pigs (Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire${\times}$Duroc) were fed either a control (commercial diet, based on corn and soybean meal) or the control diet supplemented with 2, 5 and 7% of pumpkin powder for 30 days. Dietary supplementation with pumpkin powder resulted in significantly higher moisture and fat contents in pork loin compared to the control (p<0.05). Dietary supplementation with pumpkin powder led to increased redness, pH and decreased shear force value and cholesterol levels in pork loin (p<0.05). In fatty acid composition, dietary supplementation with 2% or 5% pumpkin powder increased the palmitoleic acid (C16:1) in pork loin. These data suggest that supplementing pig diets with pumpkin powder can produce pork loin with low cholesterol levels and can enhance quality properties because pork loin fed a pumpkin powder-supplemented diet had better moisture, fat contents and tenderness.

To investigate the effects of conjugated linoleic acid added diet feeding on CLA accumulation and quality characteristics of pork meat. The CLA used to add in diet was chemically synthesized by alkaline isomerization method with corn oil. Pigs were divided into 5 treatment groups(4 pigs/group) and subjected to one of five treatment diets(0, 1.25% CLA for 2 weeks, 2.5% CLA for 2 weeks, 1.25% CLA for 4 weeks and 2.5% CLA for 4 weeks, CLA diets; total fed diets) before slaughter. Pork loin were collected from the animals(110 kg body weight) slaughtering at the commercial slaughter house. Pork loin meat were aerobic packaged and then stored during 2, 5, 8, 11 and 14 days at 4$^{\circ}C$. Samples were analyzed for shear force value, texture, TBARS, fatty acid composition, cholesterol and CLA content. CLA treatment groups showed significantly(p〈0.05) higher shear force value compared to those of control group at 11, 14 days of cold storage. All treatments were decreased significantly as the storage period passed. There was a not significantly difference in texture between control and CLA treatment groups. All CLA treatment groups showed significantly(p〈0.05) lower TBARS value than the control. TBARS value was increased significantly during storage in all treatment. CLA treatment groups showed significantly(p〈0.05) lower cholesterol content compared to those of control group. As dietary CLA was increased in feed, the content of CLA was increased, but the control was almost not detected. The contents of CLA were not significantly changed during chilled storage for 14 days. In the change of fatty acid composition, the contents of oleic, linoleic and arachidonic were decreased by dietary CLA-supplementation, whereas the increase level of CLA-supplementation resulted in the higher palmitic and stearic acid. In all results, CLA could be accumulated in pork meat and its antioxidant capability has been indicated. It was suggested that dietary CLA-supplementation could be produced high quality pork.
