This study investigated the nutritive quality of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus fed either moist pellet (MP) or moist pellet mixed with mushroom extract (MPME) for 6 months. There was no significant difference in crude protein or extractive nitrogen in the muscle of flounder fed MP versus MPME (P > 0.05). The total amino acid content in the muscle of flounder fed MP was $15.22{\pm}5.24$ g/100 g, compared to $19.90{\pm}2.90$ g/100 g for flounder fed MPME. Essential amino acid content was $7.04{\pm}2.21$ g/100 g in the muscle of flounder fed MP versus $8.94{\pm}2.50$ g/100 g for MPME. Total amino acid content was higher in the muscle of olive flounder fed MPME, while essential amino acid content was higher in flounder fed MP. The ratio of non-essential amino acids to essential amino acids was $0.86{\pm}0.07$ for flounder fed MP and $0.81{\pm}0.08$ for flounder fed MPME. There was no significant difference in free amino acid content and fatty acid composition. The breaking strength of muscle of olive flounder fed MP was higher ($1.44{\pm}0.51\;kg/cm^2$) than in flounder fed MPME ($1.29{\pm}0.30\;kg/cm^2$). There was no evidence that dietary additives, such as mushroom extract, increase growth rate or nutritive quality of olive flounder.

Fatty acid compositions of Setaria italica, Panirum miliaceum and Sorghum bicolor were determined with total lipids extracted. Total lipid content of Setaria italica, Panium miliaceum and Sorghum bicolor were 3.9%(w/w), 2.7%(w/w) and 2.3%(w/w), respectively. Total lipids were fractionated into neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids by the silicic acid column chromatography. Neutral lipids were the most abundant component. Among fatty acids separated by GC, linoleic acid was determined as a major fraction in Setaria italica, Panicum miliaceum and Sorghum bicolor. Palmitic acid and oleic acid were also separated as second major components. In Setaria italica, behenic acid was separated from the phospholipid fraction and myristic acid from the neutral lipid fraction. Linolenic acid was not detected in all the samples.

In this study, we investigated the effects of ostrich extract combined with Korean herb medicine(OEKHM) on the serum parameters in carageenan induced paw edema in rats. Carageenan causes enhanced edema formation which contributes to the pathophysiology of inflammation. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. There were four groups of treatments: OEKHMs and the control. After treatment with oral doses of 3 mL/180 g BW. 3 kinds of OEKHMs were processed which were ostrich bone with flesh meat with herb medicine(BFH), ostrich bone with flesh meat(BF), and ostrich bone with internal organs(BI). The contents of crude fat of the BFH was lower, but crude protein and crude ash of the BFH were significantly higher than those of the BF and the BI. In case of the levels of minerals(Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Cu and Zn ) of the BFH were significantly higher than those of BF and BI. And the heavy metals(Pb and Cd) were not detected in the OEKHM. The serum level of triglyceride in the BFH treated group decreased compared to that of the edema induced group. The serum levels of HDL-cholesterol concentration in the BFH supplemented group increased compared to that of the other groups. The serum levels of minerals(Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu and Zn) of the BFH treated group significantly increased than those of other groups(p<0.05).

In this study, muffins were made with the addition of 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% of Chungkukjang powder and, the quality characteristics, such as volume, height, appearance, chromaticity and moisture contents, were measured using SEM (Scanning Electronic Microscope) measurement, texture tests and sensory tests. In the regards to volume, as the added amount of added Chungkukjang increased, the volume also increased. There was no significant difference in the height and moisture content of the muffins at the different Chungkukjang powder concentrations. Using SEM, it was shown that as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased, the gluten content decreased, which in turn caused the formation of thick cell membranes and rough pores and reduced gluten composition capacity. Luminosity L value in Chungkukjang muffin decreased as the amount of added Chungkukjang powder increased. There was significant difference in the red chromaticity a value and yellow chromaticity b value among the samples (p<0.05). The results of the texture test showed that the hardness of the Chungkukjang muffin decreased as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased. In addition, as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased, the adhesiveness decreased. There was no significant difference in springing, chewiness and gumminess among the samples. There was a significant difference in the cohesiveness among all other samples in cohesiveness (p<0.05). The results of the sensory test showed that the wave form of the Chungkukjang muffin decreased as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased. The pore of the muffin increased as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased. The color quality of the muffin decreased as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased. In terms of overall acceptability, 6% Chungkukjang was shown to result in the highest preference level.

The study was carried out to evaluate the quality of commercial pork and beef jerky at a market in Korea. The amount of food additives, place of origin, meat content, microbiological and physicochemical characteristics were investigated in 46 different jerky samples. Meat contents of pork and beef jerky were 75.2~94.0% and 80.0~95.6%, respectively. Food additives, including sodium nitrite, potassium sorbate, and sodium erythorbate were mainly used in jerky. Pork jerky was processed from domestic pork, and beef jerky was mostly processed from imported beef from the USA, Australia, or New Zealand. Pork jerky contained $23.82{\pm}5.74%$ moisture, $37.86{\pm}7.05%$ crude protein, $6.16{\pm}4.91%$ crude fat, and $4.6.87{\pm}1.76%$ crude ash. Beef jerky contained $26.64{\pm}5.21%$ moisture, $41.36{\pm}3.50%$ crude protein, $4.67{\pm}3.46%$ crude fat, and $7.21{\pm}1.91%$ crude ash. Water activity (Aw) of pork jerky was $0.73{\pm}0.09$ while that of beef jerky was $0.78{\pm}0.08$. Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content to jerky was 7.1~36.0 mg/100 g. There was no significant difference in the physicochemical composition of meat type (p<0.05). Coliform, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were not detected in pork or beef jerky, whereas yeast and molds were detected below $1.2{\times}10^1CFU/g$ in beef jerky samples.

This study was conducted to investigate alterations of seaweed composition upon Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) fermentation as well as potential anti-inflammatory effects and mechanism (s) of water extracts and fermented water extracts of Laminaria japonica (LJ) and Hizikia fusiforme (HF) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Total polyphenol, total sugar, and reducing sugar contents were measured in LJ and HF water extracts before and after fermentation by LGG. Alterations of inflammatory cytokine levels in cell culture media were measured by ELISA, and levels of phosphorylation of c-jun NH2-terminalkinase (JNK) and extra cellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) were examined by Western blot analysis. LGG fermentation of LJ and HF altered total polyphenol and sugar contents in water extracts of LJ and HF. LPS-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ was significantly reduced by HF-f compared to control in RAW264.7 cells. Consistent with reduction of anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ levels by HF-f, HF-f also significantly reduced phosphorylation of ERK and JNK in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. In addition, LJ-f and HF also significantly reduced phosphorylation of JNK and ERK induced by LPS in RAW264.7 cells. Overall, our result suggests that HF-f among the four tested seaweed extracts is the most potent anti-inflammatory agent, and its mechanism of action is partially mediated by reduction of JNK and ERK phosphorylation as well as IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of added nutriprotein and rice powder as a plasticizer on physicohemical property, texture property of Backsulgi. In the physicochemical property, the content of proximate composition of nutriprotein was measured as 6.1% of moisture, 3.6% of carbohydrate, 84.3% of crude protein, 0.6% of crude lipid, 5.4% of ash. The raw material of rice powder was measured as 9.6% of moisture, 83.7% of carbohydrate, 6.0% of crude protein, 0.4% of crude lipid, 0.3% of ash. Swelling power and pore ratio of the control were 78.53% and 72.42%, and tended to increase as the amounts of nutriprotein and plastic rice powder increased. Aging by Avrami eguation retarded in Backsulgi added 10% plastic rice powder than rice powder Backsulgi. All the samples added 2, 4, 6, and 8% nutriprotein at the temperatures of 20 were more effective than others on aging. In texture properties, cohesiveness and springiness were not significantly changed by adding nutriprotein and not significantly changed during the storage period in all samples. Hardness and gumminess decreased by adding 2∼8% nutriprotein and increased during the storage period in all samples. Springiness and gumminess decreased by adding 40% plastic rice powder and increased during the storage period in all sample. Cohesiveness and hardness decreased by the increase of plastic rice powder. The texture characteristics by rheometer showed that Backsulgi with nutriprotein and plastic rice powder exhibited lower in hardness than the control, indicating that nutriprotein and plastic rice powder were effective in retarding retrogradation, which is better when storage time became longer.

The pine mushroom is recognized as a valuable functional food and is considered the first kind of mushroom. One of the product development plans for the pine mushroom is a Teriyaki pickle. The physical properties and sensory evaluation of this product were measured, as well as sensory evaluations and microbe tests after a storage period. 9 types of high pressure-cooking conditions with Teriyaki seasoning were tested. The Teriyaki seasoning was heated from $110^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours, 1 hour or by the traditional method. Based on our testing and evaluations, the pine mushroom Teriyaki pickle heated from $110^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours or 1 hour had the highest preference and color ; Odor and overall preference increased with longer storage periods. Also, from the 21st day, the microbe levels in the traditional method Teriyaki seasoning measured less than those in 30 others. But, until storage 28th day, no microbes were detected in Teriyaki seasoning liquid from the high pressure-cooking condition. As a result, the high pressure-cooking condition was a simpler manufacturing process than the traditional method. The salinity of Teriyaki seasoning liquid from the high pressure-cooking condition was relatively lower than that from the traditional method. Therefore, the pine mushroom pickle prepared with Teriyaki seasoning under high pressure-cooking conditions will be considered for commercialization. The pine mushroom Teriyaki pickle heated from $110^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours was preferred the most, so this method is suitable for the Teriyaki seasoning.

The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the quality of beef jerky made with Korean beef meat, Korean beef cattle and imported beef meat from Austria and New Zealand. The beef jerky qualities were evaluated by sensory evaluation, measurement of crude lipid, fatty acid composition of lipid, and acid value and peroxide value, and of surface observation with a microscope. According to the preference test, whereas beef jerky made with Korean beef meat showed the highest score in color, glaze, palatability, and softness, while that of made with New Zealand beef meat did received the lowest score. The crude lipid content of jerky made with Korean and Austrian beef meat was higher than that of made with Korean cattle and New Zealand beef meat. Surface of jerky made with Korean and Austrian beef meat was gappier than that of made with Korean cattle and New Zealand beef meat, and the. The acid value of jerky made with Korean and Austrian beef meat was lower than that of made with Korean cattle and New Zealand beef meat. The peroxide value of jerky made with Korean cattle meat showed higher peroxide values from the initial storage time. However, the peroxide value whereas that of jerky made with Austrian beef meat was the lowest at initial storage time, it increased remarkably with storage time and showed the highest value after the 15th day of storage. We found that the change in quality of jerky made with Korean and Austrian beef meat was less than that those made of Korean cattle and New zealand beef meat. And it could be suggested that Korean cattle and New Zealand beef meat are not suitable in making jerky.
