The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary mugwort on the proximate composition, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) and fatty acid in chicken meats. One hundred sixty broiler chicks (1 d old) were assigned to one or four dietary groups: Control; commercial feed supplemented with 1% mugwort (T1); commercial feed with 3% mugwort (T2) and commercial feed with 5% mugwort (T3). After 42 d, broilers from each group were slaughtered and meat samples were vacuum packaged and stored at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ over a period of 0, 1,2,3, and 4 wk. Chicken breast was not influenced by all treatments in moisture, crude protein and crude fiber, while crude fat was lowered (p<0.05) in chickens fed with the T2 and T3 diets compared to the control and T1 diets. All treatments with mugwort diets tended to have decreased VBN values for chicken breast and thigh compared to control. As storage time increased, VBN was increased for all chickens (p<0.05). No significant differences in TBARS were observed among all treatments at 0 wk. TBARS values were reduced with the T2 and T3 diets and initially increased from 0 through 3 wk, then abruptly decreased at 4 wk. Dietary mugwort supplementation resulted in increased stearic acid (excepted T2) and oleic acid and decreased linoleic acid. Stearic acid in thigh meat was decreased in the T1, T2 and T3, however linoleic acid levels tended to increase with mugwort powder supplementation. It is concluded that dietary mugwort has a positive effect on increasing unsaturated fatty acid contents and decreasing saturated fatty acids.

As the application of quantitative risk assessment (QRA) to food safety becomes widespread, it is now being questioned whether experimental results and simulated results coincide. Therefore, this paper comparatively analyzed experimental data and simulated data of the cross contamination, which needs summation of the simplest calculations in QRA, of chicken by Monte Carlo simulation and fuzzy math computation. In order to verify summation, the following basic operation was performed. For the experiment, thigh, breast, and a mixture of both parts were preserved for 24 hr at $20^{\circ}C$, and then the cell number of Salmonella spp. was measured. In order to examine the differences between experimental results and simulated results, we applied the descriptive statistics. The result was that mean value by fuzzy math computation was more similar to the experimental than that by Monte Carlo simulation, whereas other statistical descriptors by Monte Carlo simulation were more similar.

The root powder of Angelicae gigantis Radix (RPAGR) is known to he beneficial for liver and blood circulation. In a 6-wk broiler feeding trial, the RPAGR was added at levels of 0, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0%, respectively. The RPAGR was found to be palatable as birds consumed moreof the test diets than the control(0% RPAGR) diet. The BW gain of 1.0% RPAGR group was higher than the control group. The feed efficiency(F/G) was improved significantly(P<0.01) by feeding 1.0% RPAGR. The RPAGR also caused beneficial effects in various carcass characteristics, i.e., carcass weight, dressing percentage, breast muscle, and thigh meat production. There was no consistent trend in various organ weights by the addition of RPAGR. Also, no consistent trend was found in abdominal fat weight. The serum cholesterol level tended to decrease as the BW increased. No consistent trend was detected in serum triglyceride contents.

In this study, the effects of Doenjang powder (DP : Korean traditional fermented soy bean paste) addition on the quality and shelf-life of chicken sausages during storage were evaluated. The chicken sausages were manufactured with 60% of chicken breast meat, 20% of chicken skin and other ingredients. The sausages were divided into four treatments according to DP addition level such as 0, 2, 5 and 8%. The sausages were vacuum packed and stored at a refrigerator ($5^{\circ}C$) for 4 weeks. pH of sausage was in creased with DP addition after 2 weeks storage (p<0.05). The addition of 2% and 5% DP decreased the lipid oxidation (TBARS) value (p<0.05) and addition of 8% DP seemed to promote the protein deterioration (VBN) over the storage (p<0.05). In the instrumental color, the chicken sausages with 5% and 8% DP showed higher redness and lower lightness value than sausage with 0 and 2% DP (p<0.05) over the storage. The hardness and gumminess of chicken sausages added with 5% DP were significantly lower than those of other treatments during the storage (p<0.05). The addition of DP detained the growth of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria counts after 2 week of storage (p<0.05), but no significant difference was found by DP addition level (p>0.05). In conclusion, 5% DP could be used as ingredient of chicken sausage to enhance sensory quality and retard lipid oxidation.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and canola oil on the quality traits of chicken nuggets. The nuggets were prepared from the breast meat of 75-week-old Hy-line old layer. Experiment 1 was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding different levels (0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%) of STPP addition (w/w). It was found that moisture content and cooking yield were significantly increased by the addition of STPP (P<0.05). STPP addition significantly increased hardness and Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) value (P<0.05). Thereafter, STPP addition was fixed at 0.3% (w/w) and another experiment was performed to investigate the effect of canola oil addition (w/w) at different levels (5%, 10%, and 15%). There was no difference in pH depending on canola oil content. However, emulsion capacity, fat loss, and total water loss increased with the increase in canola oil content (P<0.05). Hardness and WBSF value showed significant decreases as canola oil content increased (P<0.05). Texture and overall acceptance were significantly increased with the increase in canola oil content in a test based sensory evaluation. In conclusion, adding 0.3% STPP and 15% canola oil to chicken nuggets made from the old layer could produce a product with an acceptable quality.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary activated carbon(0.9%) and fish oil(0, 1, 2, 4%) addition on the feed efficiency, blood-cholesterol, proximate composition, pH and minerals in breast and thigh of chicken meat. Broilers were randomly assigned to one of the five dietary treatment: 1) Control (commercial feed) 2) T1(commercial feed supplemented with 0.9% activated carbon) 3) T2 (commercial feed with 0.9% activated carbon and 1% fish oil) 4) T3 (commercial feed with 0.9% activated carbon and 2% fish oil) 5) T4 (commercial feed with 0.9% activated carbon and 4% fish oil). They were fed with one of the experimental diets for five weeks and slaughtered. After that, the meat samples were vacuum packaged and stored over a period of 10 days at 4$\pm$1$\^{C}$. When broilers were fed with dietary activated carbon and fish oil, the feed efficiency of birds were higher compared with that of control diet. The blood cholesterol was tended to decrease in dietary activated carbon and fish oil(p<0.05). However, effects of diets containing graded levels of activated carbon and fish oil on proximate composition were not found(p>0.05). The pH of all treatments significantly increased during the storage periods. The activated carbon and fish oil diet increased the calcium, potassium and sodium content of chicken meat, and tended to increase total mineral contents.

The effects of different packaging methods such as aerobic, vacuum, and wrap packaging, on quality characteristics of fresh chicken breast meat during cold storage were investigated. The results show that crude fat content in aerobic packaging method was significantly (P<0.05) higher compared to the others, whereas moisture, protein and ash contents were not significantly different. pH in wrap packaging was increased with storage time and reached the highest values at 10 days. Both lightness and redness of the meat were increased with storage time, but lightness was significantly (P<0.05) higher in wrap packaging than in the others. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values were increased in all treatments at 10 days. VBN at 5 days were over 20 mg%, and TBA values at 10 days were between 0.82~1.05 mg malondialdehyde/kg meat. TBA showed significantly (P<0.05) lower in vacuum packaging compared to the other methods. Therefore, our results suggested that vacuum packaging decreases lipid oxidation of chicken breast meat, thereby enhancing the shelf life, compared to aerobic and wrap packaging methods.

In this study, the effects of feeding citrus byproducts on nutritional components of Korean native chickens were investigated. Two samples of Korean native chickens were used for this study: T0 (chickens fed with only feed for laying hen until they became 39 weeks old, not with citrus byproducts) and T1 (chickens fed with citrus byproducts). The feed for T1 was the same as T0 for the first 16 weeks, and then was made by adding 4% of citrus byproducts to the feed for T0 between $17{\sim}39$ weeks. The chicken used for the experiment was obtained by chilling them for 2 days after slaughter. There was no significant difference between T0 and T1 regardless of feeding citrus byproducts, in terms of their breast/thigh's calorie, contents of moisture, protein, fat and ash, total structural amino acid, total free amino acid and composition of saturated/unsaturated fatty acids. The breast's cholesterol amount of T0 and T1 were 48.4 mg/100 g and 47.6 mg/100 g, respectively, while that of thigh for T0 and T1 were 75.7 mg/100 g and 72.8 mg/100 g, respectively, which implies that T1 showed lower amount of cholesterol than T0. T1 showed significantly higher amount of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and vitamin B2 for thigh than T0 (p<0.05).

This study aimed to confirm the applicability of the new nitrogen (N₂) gas stunning method in the broiler slaughtering process by comparing the meat and small intestine quality following different stunning methods (electrical, carbon dioxide (CO₂), N₂, and halal). Four treatments were compared: (i) electrical stunning (Elec), (ii) 80% CO₂ gas stunning (CO₂-gas), (iii) 98% N₂ gas stunning (N₂-gas), and (iv) the non-stunning method (halal). N₂ gas stunning (98%) and the halal method were conducted at the pilot plant abattoir of the national institute of animal science, Korea, and electrical and 80% CO₂ stunning were performed on the nearest commercial slaughter house. Meat pH_24h, color (lightness, redness and yellowness), proximate composition, water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss, and Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) were measured, and in the small intestine, pH_24h, color, thickness, and WBSF were measured. The Elec treatment showed high lightness, yellowness, and low redness in both meat and the small intestine, indicated by a pale color; the CO₂-gas treatment showed high redness, low lightness, and low yellowness, and the coloration of meat from the N₂-gas treatment was intermediate between Elec and CO₂-gas. For other quality traits, the N₂-gas showed good results and was between Elec and CO₂-gas. Additionally, severe stress (low pH in both meats), low WHC in meat, and cracked small intestine with numerous apertures were observed in the CO₂-gas, and pale colored hemorrhagic breast meat was found in the Elec. Therefore, in view of animal welfare and quality traits of meat and the small intestine, 98% N₂ gas can be considered in broiler stunning.
