Low-fat, precooked high quality Wanjajun was prepared by treating natural antioxidant herbs and hydrocolloids for quantity production of cook/chill system in foodservice. The proposed Wanjajun was formulated under the consideration of flavor and fat level. Wanjajun was prepared with hydrocolloid such as sodium alginate, car-boxymethyl cellulose (CMC), carrageenan and xanthan gum. Cooking yield, fat retention and water holding capacity of Wanjajun containing hydrocolloidal gums were higher than those of control. L-value of raw product was low in comparison with cooked product, but a-value was higher than that of other cooked product. Colors of raw and cooked products were not different among five kinds of products. pH value of cooked product was higher than that of raw product pH range of cooked products revealed to 6.10~6.23. There was no considerable change in pH value during storage. The coliform group and Staphylococus aureus were not detected during storage. Total bacteria1 counts were close to microbial guidelines for safe condition. Hardness, springness, cohesiveness, gumminess and brittleness of low-fat products were generally lower than those of control product. Hardness, gumminess and brittleness of reheated products were higher than those of preheated products. Flavor, tenderness, juiciness and overall quality were not different between precooked and reheated products. Textural characteristics of products were superior in the order of sodium alginate, xanthan gum, CMC, carrageenan and control product.

'Shingo' pears were seal-packaged in polyethylene (PE) film with different thickness of 0.04. 0.06, 0.07, and 0.08mm and stored for five months in an experimental storehouse with the temperature varyine 0 to $7^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity varying 86 to 89%. The atmosphere in PE film bags was modified to 5-l4% oxygen with 3-5% carbon dioxide depending on the film thickness and the storage period. Packaging of pears with PE film effectively reduced the weight loss, which resulted in good appearance after 5 months' storage, while non-packaged pears showed a slight wilt. Decay occurrence was not significantly different among the treatments. but role browning occurred a little more in packaged lots than in non-packaged lot. The sensory panel rated the pears front 0.07mm-thick bag highest in flavor, texture, and juiciness, which might be due to the high sugar content and low titratable acidity. The firmness of pear flesh decreased with the stogare time and its change was found to be highly correlated with that of cellulase activity (correlation coefficient= -0.946). Thisresult indicated that cellulase might be one of the enzymes responsible for the softening of pear fruit during storage.

This study used glucomannan as a fat substitute to produce low-fat patties with chicken meat, of which consumer consumption is increasing. In the case of a cooked meat patty, the crude fat content of the group treated with glucomannan was higher than that of a control when cooked. The cooking loss and reduction rate in the diameter of the control patties were higher than those of the group treated with glucomannan. Cohesiveness and chewiness of the group treated with glucomannan were higher than those of the control. As a result of sensory evaluation, there were no significant differences in the tenderness, color, odor and overall taste among the patties, but the juiciness of the group treated with glucomannan was lower than that of the control. There were no big differences in the pH of the patties during the frozen storage period. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content of all of the types of patties gradually increased up to 7.97-8.56 mg% at the fourth week of storage, but these VBN values are hygienically safe. From these results, there was no large quality difference between a low-fat chicken patty to which glucomannan was added and a control. Therefore, it was confirmed that a good quality low-fat chicken patty can be made by controlling the fat and glucomannan content.

This study was conducted to compare the growth performance and carcass evaluation of Jeju native cattle (JNC) and its crossbreds (CBK = 25 JNC: 50 Charolais: 25 Brahman and BCBK = 62.5 JNC: 25 Charolais: 12.5 Brahman) fed for a short fattening period. Eight male calves each of JNC (80.$40{\pm}10$), CBK ($113.50{\pm}12.3$), and BCBK ($100.3{\pm}9.5$) were weaned at 4 month of age and were fed similar diets for 18 months of their age. All animals were fed a growing ration until 12 months of age and thereafter switched to a fattening ration for a period of 6 months. Final body weight (BW) and BW gain were significantly higher in CBK and BCBK compared with JNC. The CBK and BCBK gained 27.42% and 25.99% more BW, respectively, compared with JNC. The CBK and BCBK animals consumed significantly less DM than JNC to gain a unit of BW. Body weight gain, DM intake and feed conversion efficiency were similar between CBK and BCBK. Weight of hot and cold carcass, ribs, boneless meat and Longissimus dorsi muscle area were significantly different among JNC and its crossbreds. The heaviest carcass was observed in CBK followed by BCBK and JNC. Carcass, chest and femur lengths were greater in CBK and BCBK compared with JNC. Chest width, chest depth and hip width were similar in JNC and its crossbreds. Femur width was significantly greater in CBK compared with BCBK and JNC. Femur depth and chest girth were significantly greater in CBK and BCBK compared with JNC. Weight and fat yield in different carcass cuts were greater in crossbreds compared to JNC. Percent moisture, crude ash, and crude protein of meat were similar in JNC and its crossbreds. Percent crude fat in beef was significantly greater in JNC compared with its crossbreds. Beef shear force value, percent water holding capacity, juiciness and tenderness were significantly greater for JNC compared to its crossbreds. In conclusion, CBK and BCBK have shown greater growth rates and produced heavier carcasses with good degree of fatness when compared with JNC.

Antioxidant and antibacterial activities of Phlomis umbrosa Turcz. (PU) ethanol extracts were investigated in vitro. Total polyphenols, flavonoids and FRAP values of PU extracts were $57.32{\pm}2.30{\mu}g$/mg, $21.44{\pm}2.52{\mu}g$/mg and 0.26 mmol $Fe^{2+}$/g, respectively. The PU extracts also showed strong DPPH scavenging activity and antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, the DPPH scavenging effect of the seasoning sauces was increased by the addition of PU extracts. This study was also conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of seasoned pork treated with PU extracts during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 21 days. Seasoned pork was produced containing 0, 0.5, and 1% PU extracts and 0.1% BHA. The total bacteria and TBARS values of seasoned pork added with PU were decreased compared to the control, whereas coliform bacteria were not detected after longer storage periods. With regards to sensory evaluation, seasoned pork treated with 0.5% PU had higher juiciness, flavor and overall acceptability compared to seasoned fork. These results suggest the possibility of manufacturing seasoned pork with PU extracts for the improvement of shelf-life and quality.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of adding wine on the quality and palatability of pork patties. Pork patties were prepared by four types: pork patty without wine (control), pork patty containing wine 1% (WP-1), pork patty containing wine 3% (WP-2), and pork patty containing wine 5% (WP-3). Moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, Hunter's $a^*$ value, calorie, water holding capacity, VBN content, total bacterial counts, amino acid composition, fatty acid composition, flavor, texture, and juiciness were not significantly different among the pork patties. The $L^*\;and\;b^*$ values of the control patty was higher than those of the WP-1, WP-2, and WP-3 (p<0.05). The pH and TBARS value of the WP-2 and WP-3 were lower than those of the control patty and WP-1 (p<0.05). The total amino acid content of the control patty, WP-1, WP-2, and WP-3 were 18.29, 17.83, 17.85, and 17.37%, respectively. Palmitic acid was the most abundant among saturated fatty acids while oleic acid was the most abundant unsaturated fatty acid in the four groups. The taste and palatability of the WP-2 and WP-3 were superior to the control patty and WP-1 (p<0.05).

In this study, the effect of probiotic supplementation on growth performance, blood metabolites, and meat quality of Hanwoo steer was investigated. A total of 32 Hanwoo steers (15-17 months, average body weight $462{\pm}37.9kg$) were randomly allotted to 4 dietary treatments (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% mixed probiotics), with four Hanwoo steers per pen (two replicates per treatments), and reared for 12 months. There were no differences among treatments in growth performance of Hanwoo steer (P>0.05); however, feed intake decreased linearly with increasing levels of mixed probiotics. Growth hormone and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) levels responded linearly with increasing levels of dietary mixed probiotics (P<0.05), but not insulin and blood glucose did not. In particular, total cholesterol was significantly lower for the 1% mixed probiotic treatment in comparison with that of the other treatments (P<0.05). The pH, Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS), cooking loss, and meat color were influenced by increasing levels of mixed probiotics (P<0.05), but the carcass characteristics and shear force were not. Regarding sensory evaluation, the addition of mixed probiotics resulted in significant difference in meat color, tenderness, aroma, off-flavor, juiciness, and marbling score, but not in overall acceptability. In addition, fatty acid profiles indicated no differences between control and mixed probiotic treatments. In conclusion, mixed probiotic treatment at 1% levels can enhance consumer preferences possibly by reducing cholesterol and TBARS.

Two experiments using growing and finishing pigs (Landrace$\times$Duroc$\times$Yorkshire) were conducted to determine the effects of different levels of vitamins and trace minerals (VTM) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics and meat quality of growing-finishing pigs, and to evaluate the suitability of vitamin-mineral levels commonly used in the swine industry in Korea. A total of 120 three crossbred (Landrace$\times$Duroc$\times$Yorkshire) growing (Experiment I: 20.90 0.44 kg average initial body weight) and finishing (Experiment II: 53.55 0.97 kg average initial body weight) were used in 6 and 9 weeks feeding trials, respectively. Pigs were allotted on the basis of sex and weight to 5 treatments with 6 replications per treatment with 4 pigs per pen in a completely randomized block design. Treatments were: 1) control, 2) fat soluble vitamin 200% vs. control, 3) water soluble vitamin 200% vs. control, 4) trace mineral 50% vs. control, 5) trace mineral 200% vs. control. In experiment I, during the overall experimental period (0 to 6 weeks, 21 to 54 kg body weight), ADG of the 200% trace mineral supplemented group was significantly higher than that of the 50% trace mineral supplemented group. There were no significant differences among other the treatments. Digestibility of crude protein was lowest in mineral 50% supplemented group (p<0.05). Calcium digestibility was significantly higher in the 200% fat soluble vitamin supplemented group than in the other treatments (p<0.05). In experiment II, during the overall experimental period (0 to 9 weeks, 54 to 106 kg body weight), growth performance was not significantly affected by dietary vitamin and trace mineral levels. However, increasing level of water soluble vitamins at the level of 200% compared to control had a tendency to improve the overall growth performance. Overall carcass characteristics except for carcass length did not differ among pigs fed the dietary treatments. Loin eye area, pH, drip loss and shear force of meat were not affected by dietary vitamin and trace mineral levels. There was a trend for less fat content (%) in pork when the level of vitamin and trace mineral was increased, but the difference was not significant. Flavor score was the lowest in control and highest in the 200% fat soluble vitamin supplemented group (p<0.05). Juiciness of muscle was lower in the 200% fat soluble vitamin supplemented group than other dietary treatments, except for trace mineral 50% supplemented group (p<0.05). Based on these results, it is suggested that "typical" commercial levels of vitamin and trace minerals used by feed companies in Korea are sufficient to meet requirement for the maximum growth of growing-finishing pigs. Our results suggests that a reduction in trace mineral levels in commercial diets could be considered to reduce feed cost and nutrient excretion with economic and environmental benefits.

This study was designed to estimate effect of wood vinegar on meat quality in old Layer which was low production and low economic value. The old layer chickens were used to resource for income increase of layer farm and protein supply. Two hundred forty Isa Brown chickens were assigned with control(Broiler feed), Treatment 1 (Broiler feed with addition of domestic wood vinegar $0.8\%$) and Treatment 2(Broiler feed with addition of foreign wood vinegar $0.4\%$). Feed intake of control group was lower 3g than other treatments. This is the reason of result that what organic acid in wood vinegar of treatment groups affect to feed digestibility, The different of chicken production was depended on ingredient and included value of wood vinegar in domestic and foreign. Foreign wood vinegar have organic acids which that functionally act sexual Pheromone so that promote endocrine matter. This is reason that old Layer chicken increase to egg production rate. Treatment 2 group effect to thigh meat rather than breast meat and improve to value of crude fat and meat color. The Meat quality and sensory test of thigh meat of foreign wood vinegar was better appraise rather than that of domestic wood vinegar. Because foreign wood vinegar make to fine of meat tissue and to decline cooking loss and also to increase juiciness and tenderness on sensory test.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of immersion period after tumbling on the physicochemical properties of boiled pork loin with soy sauce. After the samples were tumbled for 30 min with soy sauce (1.5% salt concentration), they were immersed for 1, 5 or 10 days. Boiled pork loin was cooked at an internal temperature to $75^{\circ}C$. Cooking yields of boiled pork loin were significantly increased with increasing immersion period. The reduction in diameter and thickness for pork loin were significantly decreased with increasing immersion period, but moisture content and water holding capacity were increased. Shear force in the immersed samples after tumbling was significantly lower than in the control. In sensory evaluation color, flavor, texture, and juiciness of boiled pork loin immersed after tumbling should higher ratings than those of control.
