The study was designed to investigate the influence of feeding Eosungcho(houttutnia cordata Thunb) on the meat quality of porks. Experimental groups were divided into control group(C), 5%(T1) and 10%(T2) Eosungcho powder feeding group, and than administered for 12 weeks. And then pork's loins were storaged at $4^{\circ}C$, for 23 days after vaccum packed. TBARS was increased(P<0.05) during storage days in all samples, while it's contents were lower Eosungcho feding groups than control group. Total cholesterol contents of pork's loin, were $48.9{\pm}0.2\;mg/100\;g$ in control group, $39.1{\pm}0.2\;mg/100\;g$ in T1 group and $37.8{\pm}0.3\;mg/100\;g$ in T2 group. 4 kinds of cholesterol oxides($7{\beta}-hydroxycholesterol$, 19-hydroxycholesterol, ${\alpha}-$ and ${\beta}-epoxide$) detected in pork's loin. Cholesterol oxides concentration of pork's loin was increased during storage and lowest in T2 group.
