The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between measurements of color and water-holding capacity (WHC) in pork loin. A total of 419 pork loins were sampled from crossbred (Landrace$\times$Jeju native black pig) F2 pigs at a commercial slaughter house. Meat color measurements (CIE $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$), chroma ($C^*$) and hue angle (h) were measured with the Minolta Chromameter and WHC was measured by filter paper fluid, drip loss and cooking loss. Also pH, moisture content and crude fat content were measured at 24 hr postmortem. CIE $L^*$, $b^*$ and h values had positive correlation with drip loss (r=0.52, 0.42), but CIE $a^*$ and $C^*$ values were not related to drip loss. Results showed that CIE $L^*$, $b^*$, and h color system was better than CIE $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ color system to predict WHC, especially drip loss. pH was negatively correlated to drip loss (-0.42) and CIE $L^*$ (-0.67). Although CIE $L^*$ and pH were correlated to drip loss, the accuracy of their estimates for drip loss was 27% and 17%, respectively. Consequently, it was confirmed that meat color and WHC were not perfectly related and suggested that CIE $L^*$, $b^*$, and h color space should not be used independently to predict WHC of pork loin.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of pH, drip loss, total plate counts(TPC) and 5. coli for exportation pork during storage at 0$\pm$1$\^{C}$ far 554days. 25 pigs were slaughtered at commercial slaughtering house and 6 portions such as loin, tenderloin, boston butt, knuckle, inner ham and outer ham were separated for each carcass after 24hrs and then storage at 0$\pm$1$\^{C}$ after vacuum packaged. pH were significantly decreased as the storage time increased for all portions. Drip loss of Boston butt was significantly lower than that of the other portions(p<0.05), whereas inner ham had the highest drip loss(p<0.05). TPC and 5. coli were significantly higher than that of the other treatments in Tenderloin and Boston butt(P<0.05).

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 performed to develop the method of differentiation fresh and frozen meat by using the measurement of mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase. The principle of this experiment is based on the fact the enzyme proteins associated with mitochondria membrane could be released by freezing. The methods were studied by measurements of protein concentration of meat press juice, WHC (water-holding capacity), drip loss and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase enzyme activity. Samples were stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ and -18$^{\circ}C$ during storage period, respectively. Protein concentration of meat press juice was ranged from 8.5 mg/mL to 12.7 mg/mL and increased by freezing below at -18$^{\circ}C$(p<0.05). The WHC was not significantly different between fresh meat and frozen chicken meat (p＞0.05). The amount of drip loss of fresh and frozen chicken meat at 4$^{\circ}C$ and -18$^{\circ}C$ was not significantly different (p＞0.05). Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase activity of frozen meat (-18$^{\circ}C$) was significantly higher (p＜0.05) than that of fresh meat. Also, enzyme activity of frozen meat was maintained at the same level after 3 minutes reaction. But fresh meat had not this reaction. From these results, it suggests that mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase can be used as a promising enzyme to differentiate between fresh and frozen meat.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary mugwort and fish oil on meat quality of chicken. Broilers were randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatment: 1) Control (commercial feed) 2) T1 (commercial feed supplemented with 3% mugwort powder) 3) T2 (commercial feed with 4% fish oil) and 4) T3 (commercial feed with 3% mugwort powder and 4% fish oil). They were fed the experimental diets for five weeks and slaughtered. After that, the meat samples were vacuum packaged and stored at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The meat quality were analyzed for meat samples stored over a period of 0, 5, 10 and 15 days. The major fatty acids found in chicken meat were oleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid, stearic acid. However, the fatty acid was not significantly different between control and treatment groups (p>0.05). Palmitoleic acid, EPA, DHA contents were higher in T3 treatment group than the control. The TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) of all treatments significantly increased during the storage periods (p<0.05). The TBARS of the thigh was rather higher than that of the breast. The WHC (water holding capacity) of breast and thigh were significantly increased in both control and treatment groups during storage (p<0.05). WHC of the breast was rather higher than that of the thigh. The drip loss was tended to increase during the storage periods (p<0.05).

This study was investigated the effects of supplementation diets with mulberry leaves powder on pH, TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) and VBN (volatile basic nitrogen) heating loss, WHC (water holding capacity), and drip loss of chicken meat. One hundred sixty broiler were fed diets for five weeks containing 0% mulberry leaves powder (Control), 1% mulberry leaves powder (T1), 2% mulberry leaves powder (T2), and 3% mulberry leaves powder (T3). At the end of this experiment, broiler were slaughtered, and stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 10 d. As storage time increased, all treatment groups resulted in increased pH, TBARS, VBN and drip loss (p<0.05). The TBARS and VBN were significantly decreased by the supplementation of mulberry leaves powder compared to the control (p<0.05). T3 results in much better TBARS and VBN than other treatment groups. Especially, T3 was significantly (p<0.05) more effective in improving self life compared to other treatment groups. Heating loss and drip loss were no significantly different among treatment group. In conclusion, these data indicate that supplementation of 3% mulberry leaves powder were most effective in decreasing TBARS and VBN.

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.

홍삼 부산물의 급여는 거세돈 등심육의 일반성분에 아무런 영향을 나타내지 않았다. 홍삼 부산물의 급여는 거세돈 등심육의 육질 특성에 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, pH와 보수력은 T4 처리구에서 다소 높았고, 육즙 손실은 T3 처리구에서 다소 낮았다. 홍삼 부산물의 급여는 등심육의 주관적 판정 항목에서 대조구와 비교하여 T3와 T4처리구에서 높은 수치를 나타내어 바람직한 경향이었으며, 육색에서는 a값(적색도)의 경우 대조구와 비교하여 T3와 T5 처리구에서 유의적으로 높은 수치를 나타내어 적색의 바람직한 외관을 나타냈다. 관능 특성에서는 대조구와 비교하여 T2와 T4 처리구에서 다즙성과 전체 기호도가 다소 높은 경향이었고, 풍미의 경우 T2와 T4 처리구에서 대조구보다 유의적으로 높은 수치를 나타내어 바람직한 경향을 나타냈다. 이상의 결과에서 홍삼 부산물의 급여는 거세돈 등심육의 육질 특성을 향상시켜 브랜드육으로서의 가능성이 높은 것으로 사료되었다.
