This study was carried out to investigate the effects of various thawing methods on the physical and microbiological properties of frozen pork. The frozen pork was thawed using four methods: refrigerator, cold water, room temperature, and microwave oven. Changes in physicochemical properties of thawed pork were analyzed by measuring color, pH, thawing loss and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values. Changes in the microbiological properties of thawed pork were analyzed by counting total aerobic bacteria and coliform group. L values of thawed pork were significantly increased by all thawing methods for normal thawing time except the uncooked portion of thawed pork via a microwave. However, the a value decreased in pork thawed by all thawing methods. pH values significantly increased in the pork thawed by microwave and by applying two times the normal thawing time. After thawing, thawing loss was highest in the pork thawed at room temperature for two times the normal thawing time. In addition, TBARS values also increased in the pork thawed in a refrigerator and at room temperature for two times the normal thawing time. The total aerobic bacteria count significantly increased in the case of microwave thawing for normal thawing time and it also increased in the pork thawed in a refrigerator and at room temperature for two times the normal thawing time. These results demonstrate that refrigeration and cold water thawing are the most suitable for frozen pork, and that excess thawing should be avoided.

In order to establish the optimal thawing condition of frozen fork, hot-air thawing and microwave thawing were evaluated at various conditions. In hot-air thawing, the higher the air temperature and the lower the meat surface temperature, the grater the thawing rate was. In microwave thawing, the grater the power and the lower the meat core temperature, the faster the thawing rate was. Comparing the two methods, microwave thawing was found to be significantly faster than hot-air thawing. TBA value and cooking loss were higher in hot-air thawing than that of refrigeration thawing or microwave thawing. Total extractable protein tended to be lower in hot-air thawing than that of the other two thawing methods. WHC decreased with the increase of hot-air and meat surface temperature whereas no significant difference was observed in microwave thawing regardless of the thawing conditions. Total microbial counts of thawed meat by the hot-air or microwave thawing were lower than that of refrigeration thawing.

As livestock consumption in Korea has been gradually increasing, the quality of the final products has been improved to meet this increased demand. In particular, maintaining the water holding capacity (WHC) and minimizing the drip loss during the thawing of frozen meat are of utmost importance. This study investigated the physicochemical properties of frozen pork subjected to thawing under different conditions: at room temperature (20℃, under air), at a low temperature (4℃ refrigerator, under air), under water (20℃, under water in a vacuum bag), under microwave (microwave-thawing, 260 W), and under low-pressure tumbling (20℃, 0.015 bar, tumbling). The shortest thawing time for frozen pork was recorded upon low-pressure tumbling thus indicating a fast heat transfer. The lowest drip loss (0.2%) and highest WHC (94.5%) were also recorded under this condition. A significantly higher drip loss was observed upon microwave- (1.0%) and water-thawing (1.2%), which resulted in the lowest WHC in microwave thawing (87.2%). The highest total count of aerobic bacteria and coliform group were observed upon room temp thawing while the low pressure tumbling and thawing resulted in the lowest aerobic bacteria (1.90 log CFU/g) and coliform (0.78 log CFU/g) count. Consequently, thawing by low pressure tumbling afforded the best food quality.

본 시험은 냉동 및 해동 방식에 따른 토종오리 고기의 이화학적 특성을 조사하기 위해 수행하였다. 처리구는 8주령 오리육을 대조구(Control)로 하고 처리구는 냉동방식 2가지(급냉, $-50^{\circ}C$; 완냉, $-20^{\circ}C$)과 해동방식 2가지(완해동, $4^{\circ}C$ 냉장해동; 급해동, $13^{\circ}C$ 유수해동;의 $2{\times}2$ 복합요인으로 하여 총 5처리구, 처리구당 3반복, 반복당 3점(2수/점)으로 나누었다. 공시재료는 각 처리구에서 발생된 8주령 토종오리 수컷을 처리구당 18수씩 선별하여 도압하고 1개월간 저장 후 분석에 이용하였다. 명도는 완냉시키거나 완해동할 때에 대조구와 유의적인 차이가 있었으나(P<0.05), 적색도와 황색도는 처리구간 유의차가 없었다. 가열감량과 보수력은 급냉시키거나 급해동시킬 때 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났으나(P<0.05), 전단력은 대조구에 비해 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 가열감량, 전단력, 보수력은 냉동 처리구 사이에서는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 가열감량은 급해동과 완해동 사이에 유의차가 나타났다(P<0.05). 수분, 지방, 단백질, 조회분의 함량은 냉동 처리구와 대조구 사이에서 유의차가 없었으나, 수분함량은 급해동 처리구에서 완해동 처리구에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며(P<0.05), 단백질 함량은 완해동 처리구에서 대조구에 비해 높게 나타났으나(P<0.05) 해동 처리구간에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 지방과 단백질 함량은 해동 처리구 사이에서 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론적으로, 본 시험에서는 냉동과 해동 방식에 따른 오리고기의 특징을 보여주고 있으며, 이런 결과들은 토종오리 산업과 오리육 생산 산업에 큰 도움이 될 것이라 사료된다.

본 연구는 Ohmic heating system을 이용하여 돈육을 해동하여 해동에 의한 식육의 손상을 최소화하고 신선육과 유사한 해동육을 얻기 위해 최적 해동 속도에 대한 기초 자료를 마련하고자 실시하였다. 각각의 ohmic power intensity(AC, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 Volt)에 따른 돈육의 해동속도는 기하학적으로 중심부 변화에서 가장 빠른 해동속도는 40V에서 1,582 cm/h로 산출되었고 OV의 0.307cm/h에 비하여 약 5배 정도 빠르게 나타났으며 power intensity가 증가할수록 해동속도가 증가하였다. 이와 같이 ohmic intensity(X: volt)와 해동속도(Y: cm/h)변화를 수학적으로 나타내었는데 다음과 같다; lnY=-0.8971+$1.0345{\cdot}X$ $R^2=0.9968$. 각각의 ohmic power와 비교에서 대조구인 신선육의 보수력이 가장 높았고 해동시료인 처리구간 비교에서 power가 상대적으로 높은 30V, 40V에서 보수력이 가장 좋게 나타났다. Cooking loss에서는 power intensity에 따른 유의적인 변화는 발견되지 않았다. Colo에서는 b-값의 경우 ohmic power intensity가 증가함에 따라 다소 감소하는 경향을 보여 주었다. 해동시 power intensity가 증가할수록 pH는 다소 낮아지는 경향을 보여주었다. 또한 육의 TBA가는 이와 반대로 ohmic thawing은 육의 TBA가를 증가시키는 요인으로 작용하였는데, power intensity에 따른 변화는 유의적인 차이를 보여주지 않았다. 그러나 VBN가에서는 신선육에 비해 해동육의 VBN은 증가하였지만 해동방법에 따른 차아는 발견되지 않았다.

본 연구는 풍속을 다양하게 적용하여 냉동 타조육을 해동시킨 뒤 육의 이화학적 상태 변화를 조사함으로써 타조육 본연의 품질을 유지할 수 있는 최적의 해동조건을 찾고자 실시하였다. 타조 신선육의 pH는 5.87로서 일반 원료육의 pH 범위인 $5.8{\sim}6.2$내에 있었고 해동속도가 빠를수록 타조육의 pH는 감소했다. 타조육의 thawing loss는 해동속도가 빨라질수록 감소했다. 해동속도에 따른 WHC는 대부분 신선육의 경우와 비슷했으나, 자연대류인 0.3027cm/h와 강제대류 중 0.6787cm/h의 경우에는 신선육보다 $4{\sim}7%$ 보수력이 낮게 나타났다. 해동온도에 따른 color의 변화는 조건별로 거의 차이가 나지 않았다. 또한 해동육의 경우 신선육에 비해 TBA 값이 큰 폭으로 상승했고, 특히 강제대류 중 해동 속도가 가장 느린 0.3261cm/h의 경우 가장 높았다. VBN 값은 해동속도에 상관없이 $12{\sim}13mg%$대였으며 동결육은 신선육보다 2.5배나 높은 값을 나타내었다.

This study examined the effects of freezing and thawing conditions on quality of Hanwoo bottom round. The beef samples were frozen by air blast freezing at $-20^{\circ}C$ or ethanol immersion freezing at $-70^{\circ}C$ and then stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. After 10 days of storage, the frozen samples were thawed with air blast thawing at $4^{\circ}C$ or water immersion thawing at $4^{\circ}C$ and subjected to subsequent analyses of drip loss, water holding capacity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), total aerobic bacteria, and microstructure. Drip loss significantly increased in samples treated with air blast freezing compared to ethanol immersion freezing, whereas freezing and thawing processes had no significant impact on water holding capacity of the samples. Thawing conditions had a much stronger influence on the TBARS and VBN of the samples than freezing conditions. There was no significant difference in the population of total aerobic bacteria among the four samples subjected to one freeze-thaw cycle. In addition, to analyze the effects of freeze-thaw cycle on the quality of beef, three freeze-thaw cycles were performed during storage. Multiple freeze-thaw cycles increased drip loss, TBARS, and VBN and decreased water holding capacity, accelerating microstructural damage. These data indicate that Hanwoo bottom round can be rapidly frozen and thawed by using ethanol immersion freezing and water immersion thawing methods with minimal impact on meat quality.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of ultrasonic thawing on physicochemical characteristics of frozen pork sirloin. To determine the velocity of an ultrasonic thawing machine, $-80^{\circ}C$ frozen pork sirloins were thawed using 132, 580, and 1,000 kHz ultrasonic thawing machines, and the physicochemical properties of pork sirloin thawed with $15^{\circ}C$ tap water and those using the ultrasonic thawing machines were compared. As a result, thawing speed by ultrasonic thawing was three times faster than that of tap water, but drip weight loss rate is increased by about 5% during ultrasonic thawing compared to that during thawing in tap water. However, biochemical properties, such as pH, volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid, and total aerobic bacteria, were not improved by ultrasonic thawing. Hunter values, such as total color change and redness, improved slightly after 580 kHz ultrasonic thawing. The hardness and chewiness of the pork sirloin decreased significantly after 580 kHz ultrasonic thawing; however, springiness was not changed. These results indicate that ultrasonic thawing is faster than thawing in tap water, but the physicochemical characteristics of frozen pork sirloin was not significantly improve by ultrasonic sound.
