In this study, the effect of microwave treatment on physico-chemical properties and microbial changes of beef and pork loin was investigated. Beef and pork were heated in microwave with an adjusted electric output at 500 W and operating frequency 2,450 MHz. The beef and pork samples were treated with microwave for 10 s or 20 s at 50% duty cycle. Drip losses and TBA values of beef and pork samples increased due to the microwave treatment. The samples became darker and more yellowish through microwaves, whereas their redness was unchanged. Microbial content of beef and pork samples declined as the treatment time increased. When pork samples were heated in a microwave oven, organisms were reduced by 2 log cycles in 20 s. It was concluded that a 20 second-long microwave treatment can great1y enhance the microbial safety of the pork sample.

In this study, quality improvement of beef was attempted according to the low temperature treatment and aging period of grade 1 compared to grade 1⁺⁺ beef. The fat content and shear force of beef grade 1⁺⁺ were 13.03% and 114.26N, but beef grade 1 was 3.21% and 149.67N. Meanwhile, after low-temperature treatment of grade 1 beef at -26℃ for 12 hours and low-temperature aging at 0 ℃ for 14 days, the shear force was greatly reduced to 87.85N, improving overall preference, softness, dripping gravy, flavor, and chewing texture. The essential free amino acid content was as low as 22.17mg/100g in grade 1⁺⁺ beef, but the contents were high at 41.31~45.11mg/100g in three samples of grade 1, and there was no change in content according to cold treatment conditions. As a specific component of beef, Taurine was 30.94~34.41mg/100g, and the difference in content was small according to beef grade, but Anserine and Creatine were low at 19.68mg/100g and 70.01mg/100g in beef grade 1⁺⁺ and high at 26.38~31.23mg/100g and 154.09~167.26mg/10g in beef grade 1. The content ratio of oleic acid (c18:1)/stearic acid (c18:0) as an monounsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid ratio was low at 5.29 for grade 1⁺⁺ beef, but high at 6.13~6.78 for grade 1 beef. In addition, there was no trend in the content ratio of these fatty acids according to the low-temperature treatment conditions and aging period in beef grade 1. As a result of this study, it was possible to improve the quality of beef grade 1 by low-temperature treatment at -26 ℃ for 12 hours and then aging at 0 ℃ for 14 days.

To investigate the effects of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) on beef and pork tenderization, freezedried mushroom (whole, cap, and stem) powder and mushroom extracts were prepared. Both fresh and boiled beef and pork had mushroom power and extract powders spread on them, and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature. After that, the hardness and amino nitrogen content of the meats were measured. The hardness of the meat decreased by about 20%~35% after spreading. Also, the amino nitrogen contents increased due to the effect of protease in the mushrooms. The effects were greater in raw beef. The mushrooms showed almost the same effects regardless of which part of the mushrooms were used (whole, cap, and stem).

Stews were prepared by 2 processes and 4 treatments, and stored for 3 different storage periods. The two processes were beef cooked in a stew and stored in a polyethylene container at $5^{\circ}C(P1)$ and in a barrier bag at $0^{\circ}C(P2)$. The four treatments were beef cooked alone (T1), with onions (T2), with carrots (T3) and with onions and carrots (T4). Stews in P1 were stored for 0, 2 and 4 days and stews in P2 were stored for 0, 2 and 4weeks. Cooking decreased the cephalin content by 39%. the lecithin content by 21% and most of the prolipid fatty acid concentrations as well as the fatty aldehyde levels in the phospholipids of beef from stew. Process or storage did not significantly affect the level of either phospholipids. however cooking beef with carrots seemed to exhibit some protection against hydrolysis of cephalin. P1 stews had a higher TBA-value (p<0.05) than P2 stews, and the TBA-value of P1 stews increased linearly during 4 days storage. The TBA-value was not affected (p<0.05) by treatment for any of the stews and did not change significantly during 4 weeks storage in P2 stews.

This study was performed in order to examine the effect of a thermoelectric cooling system combined with plasma on beef. Beef was studied in a box with a thermoelectric cooling system and plasma generation apparatus (TCS-1), a box with thermoelectric cooling system (TCS-2) and a polystyrene box (control). A temperature inside the thermoelectric cooling system was kept below $2^{\circ}C$, and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values of TCS-1 and TCS-2 were 7.72 mg% and 9.20 mg%, respectively. The thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value (0.52 mgMA/kg) of TCS-1 was significantly lower than that (0.91 mgMA/kg) of TCS-2. For volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) value, TCS-1 maintained freshness compared to TCS-2, since the freshness of TCS-1 value (6.98-9.77 mg%) was less than that of TCS-2 (6.98-11.45 mg%) during storage. The microbial counts of TCS-1 and TCS-2 were 4.62 log CFU/g and 7.09 log CFU/g, respectively, on the $7^{th}$ day, which were lower than that (8.45 log CFU/g) of control on the $3^{rd}$ day. Sensory evaluation of TCS-1 showed the highest scores for appearance, color, juiciness, and overall acceptability than the others. In conclusion, TCS-1 was effective for maintaining freshness of beef during storage.

This study was conducted to compare moisture, crude protein, ether extracts, fatty acid composition, and melting point of beef with different origins. Eighty (80) samples of domestic Hanwoo beef with different marbling scores (BMS) of 3, 5, 7, and 9, respectively (20 samples for each BMS) and 30 samples of imported beef (15 samples each of American and Australian beef) were used. Relationship of fatty acid composition with melting point of lipids was also analyzed. Percentages of ether extract of Hanwoo beef with BMS of 3, 5, 7, and 9 as well as American and Australian beef were 11.91, 13.23, 17.03, 23.92, 8.36, and 4.47%, respectively, with the highest value in Hanwoo with BMS of 9 and lowest value in Australian beef. Percentages of oleic acid (C18:1n9), the most abundant monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) in beef, were 44.92, 47.19, 46.23, 47.70, 43.70, and 38.28%. MUFA/saturated fatty acid (SFA) (M/S) ratios were 1.15, 1.25, 1.22, 1.27, 1.10, and 0.86, respectively. The melting point of lipids extracted from beef samples was the lowest ($27.42^{\circ}C$) in Hanwoo with BMS of 9, whereas it was highest ($41.15^{\circ}C$) in Australian beef. SFAs such as myristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), and total SFA in beef samples showed positive (+) correlations (r=0.203, 0.279, 0.807, and 0.880, respectively) with melting points, whereas MUFAs, palmitoleic acid (C16:1), oleic acid (C18:1n9), and total MUFA, showed negative (-) correlations (r=-0.541, -0.857, and -0.906, respectively). In conclusion, as the lipid contents of beef increased, composition of oleic acid (C18:1n9) increased. Furthermore, as BMS increased in Hanwoo beef, M/S was increased.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect cattle material from processed meat products. Seventy-eight different commercial processed meat products were purchased from several big food marts. Among them, 17 products contained cattle material (10 samples contained only cattle, 5 samples mixed with cattle and porcine, 2 samples mixed with cattle, porcine and chicken). The genomic DNA was extracted directly from the processed meat products, and strain-specific primer targeting the 16S ribosomal RNA mitochondrial gene was used. All PCR products were cloned into the pGEM-T easy vector and sequenced. Consequently, the PCR products were amplified from 10 processed meat products, which contained only cattle material in our conditions. Furthermore, PCR reactions showed the same results at mixed samples. The DNA sequence obtained from pGEM-T easy/PCR products showed more than 95% identity with Bos taurus 16S rRNA gene using homology analysis. In conclusion, we suggest that the method using PCR, as performed in this study, could be useful in detecting cattle material in processed meat products. Moreover, our system could be applicable in inspection procedures to improve the verification of correct labeling for import and export processed meat products.

The efficacy of an experimentally designed cold chain container and a currently used styrofoam container was investigated with respect to important factors affecting the quality of fresh beef during storage under different conditions. The temperature in the TEPP-1 container was maintained at $5^{\circ}C$ using a phase change material (PCM) during transport and delivery. During storage in the TEPP-1 container, no significant difference was observed in pH of beef, but color decreased slightly, which does not affect the desire to purchase. After storage for 7 days, the rate of VBN and TBA in the TEPP-1 container, was lower than that in the TEPP-2 container. Drip loss was lower in the TEPP-1 container (0.87%) than in the TEPP-2 container (1.78%). No significant changes were observed in microbal count until 4 days in either of the containers, but after storage for 7 days, the count increased significantly. Microbial count in TEPP-1 was 6.65 log CFU/mL and that in TEPP-2 was 7.62 log CFU/mL. The results of sensory evaluations indicated that the overall acceptability of beef after storage for 7 days was better in the TEPP-1 container than in the TEPP-2 container. The EPS container was inferior in comparison with TEPP-1 and TEPP-2. It was impossible to continue the experiment using the EPS container after 3 days. These results suggest that the experimentally designed TEPP-1 container can be used for beef transport and delivery for 7 days without significantly affecting the quality of beef.
