This study was carried out to investigate the quality comparison of M. longissimus from 4 crossbred wild boars(wild boar ♂×Duroc ♀, 113kg, 1 barrow and 3 gilts, CWB) reared outdoor, 5 Korean native black pigs(64kg, 5 barrows, KNP) and 5 modern genotype pigs(Landrace×Yorkshire×Duroc, 114kg, 5 barrows, MGP) reared indoor. The samples were stored at 2±0.2℃ for 12 days and utilized in the quality measurement. The moisture content was significantly higher in CWB than in KNP(p<0.05), however crude fat content was significantly lower in CWB than in KNP(p<0.05). The pH value of CWB was significantly lower than that of MGP during 12 days of storage(p<0.05). Therefore the CWB showed significantly lower water-holding capacity than MGP(p<0.05). The L*, a*, b* and C* values of CWB were significantly lower than those of KNP during 12 days of storage(p<0.05), however those of CWB were significantly higher than those of MGP after 3 and 6 days of storage(p<0.05). In fatty acid composition, the CWB had higher unsaturated fatty acid including linoleic acid, arachidonic acid and lower saturated fatty acid. However, the lipid oxidation of CWB was delayed during storage compared with KNP and MGP. The aroma patterns by principal component analysis(PCA) from electronic nose was discriminately different among 3 different pork at 0 and 12 day of storage.

An wild boar species which has been known as an extinct species on Jeju Island, was recently observed in the surrounding areas of Mount Halla. Based on the molecular techniques, this study examines whether they are crossbred with domesticated pig breeds. Intraspecific genetic relationships with other wild boar populations and molecular sexing were examined as well. Total of four molecular markers on mitochondrial DNA(control region and ND2) and nuclear DNA(MC1R and KIT) were applied to test crossbreeding between with domesticated pig breeds, such as Landrace, Large White, Berkshire, Hampshire, and Duroc. All individuals of wild boar population had identical mtDNA control region(CR) sequences. In addition, the sequences were the same as those of some native pig breeds which are distributed in Northeast China, but different from those previously reported from the Korean Peninsula up to date. These results suggest that this population may have originated from a genetic lineage had been not previously studied and genetically related to Chinese native pig breeds. Molecular sexing results show that there are twice as many females as male. Thus the population is under expansion and its size will dynamically increase if not controlled.
