Consumption of chicken feet has been increasing recently, thus it was necessary to produce good quality of bone less chicken feet. In the process of bone removal during chicken feet production, feeding, conveying, cutting and bone removing process takes about 90% of overall labor. Therefore, the development of a chicken feet-bone remover was necessary to reduce the cost of labor. There has been few research on the chicken feet bone removers so far in Korea as well as worldwide. So the main objective of this study was to develop a chicken feet-bone remover which is suitable for domestic circumstances. The average length of chicken feet was 113.3 mm with maximum and minimum lengths of 135.8 mm and 92.2 mm, and the average diameter of chicken leg was 12.5 mm, average width of the toe was 56.2 mm and the average weight of chicken feet was 26.4 g with maximum and minimum weight of 39.3 g and 16.9 g, respectively. Also, the average moisture content was 64.7% (w.b). The average cutting force of little toes was 15.6 N for the size ranges of less than 3.5 mm, 22.5 N, 3.5~6.0 mm and 30.3 N for larger than 6.0 mm in diameter, respectively.

In the process of bone removal during chicken feet production, feeding, conveying, cutting and bone removing process takes about 90% of overall labor. Therefore, the development of a chicken feet-bone remover was necessary to reduce the cost of labor. The main objective of this study was to make and test of chicken feet-bone remover. The optimum vibration level of feeder wes 8, and the optimum conveyor speed was 3.6 m/min. The feeding speed of feeder were 0.18 m/s, 0.13 m/s and 0.19 m/s for the weight ranges of chicken feet of >20 g, 20~30 g and 30 g< respectively. The sensing success rates of chicken feet were 100%, 98% and 96% for the conveyor speeds of 3.0, 3.6 and 4.2 m/min respectively. The slips of chicken feet were 1.0 mm, 1.9 mm and 3.2 mm for conveyor speed of 0.8, 1.9 and 4.2 m/min respectively, with the average moisture content of 65% (w.b). The incision accuracy rates of the chicken leg were 46%, 95%, 97% for the size ranges of >15 mm, 15~18 mm, 18 mm< respectively with the velocity of cutting blade 3.9 m/s. The removal rates of the chicken feet bone were 98%, 96%, 88% for toes diameter >10 mm, 10~15 mm, 15 mm> respectively with the velocity of cutting blade 11.8 m/s.

This study investigated the nutritional components of jokpyun. Jokpyuns made with cow feet and two kinds of jokpyun were added 30% of chicken and dry codfish to 70% of cow feet, respectively. There was no difference in moisture contents among three jokpyuns. Crude protein content was higher in jokpyun made with cow feet than in those added chicken and dry codfish. Contents of lipid and ash in jokpyuns added chicken and dry codfish were higher than those of jokpyun made with cow feet. The ratio of unsaturated fatty acid in jokpyun added dry codfish was the highest, but, that of linoleic acid was the highest in jokpyun added chicken than the others. Amino acid contents were higher in the order of glycine, proline, alanine, glutamic acid and composition of essential amino acid was similar to soupstock made with beef shank and leg bone. The contents of glycine and alanine in jokpyun added codfish and that of glutamic acid in jokpyun made with cow feet were the highest. Especially, among essential amino acids lysine was the highest in all jokpyuns. Methionine and valine were higher jokpyun added chicken and jokpyun made with cow feet than the others. Calcium and phosphorous were higher in jokpyun added chicken than in others. From these results, jokpyun, especially added chicken, was seemed to be more nutritious than other jokpyuns.
