The purpose of this study was to investigate the nutritional composition of native and hybrid pork in Korea. Three different parts (ham, loin and belly) of both native and hybrid pork were used. The results were as follows The moisture content from Korean native pork was about 60.28%, while that from the loin of hybrid one was 69% and decreased in the order of him, loin, and belly The highest protein content of 19.71% was found in Korean native pork loin, and Korean native pork ham had a significant amount of protein of 17.80% and hybrid one had 13.14% (p< .05). The highest crude lipid, 34.44%, was found in hybrid pork belly, Korean native pork ham had a significant amount of 5.43% and hybrid pork had 2.33% (p< .05). The highest carbohydrate content of 13.28% was found in the Korean native pork belly. The amount of ash was in the order of loin, ham and belly in Korean native pork. Among the minerals, K was found the most in Korean native pork ham (654.82mg) and hybrid one (747. 35mg) (p< .05). Fe was higher in the Korean native pork ham (23.03mg), loin (15.86mg) and belly (10.80mg) compared to the hybrid pork ham (19.04mg), loin (11.63mg) and belly (7.61mg). That was significant ham, loin(p< .01) and belly(p< .05). The main free amino acids of the native and the hybrid pork in Korea were alanine, aspartic acid and lysine. While the cholesterol content was found to be high in the order of ham, belly, and loin in the Korean native pork, in the order of belly, fresh ham and loin in the hybrid pork. The cholesterol contents in ham were significantly different between the Korean native pork(789.32$\mu\textrm{g}$) and the hybrid pork (538.84$\mu\textrm{g}$) (p< .01).

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of pork and beef meat according to species (pork: modern genotype pork, Korean native black pork; beef: Holstein, Korean native cattle) and cuts (pork: shoulder, ham, loin; beef: loin, tenderness, round). Methods: The moisture content, protein content, fat content, ash content, fatty acid compositions pH, whater holding capacity, cooking loss, shear force, color, and sensory characteristics were measured in triplicate. Results: The moisture content, pH, cooking loss, and shear force of modern genotype pork were significantly higher than the Korean native black pork; in addition, the moisture content of loin was significantly higher than shoulder and ham. The fatty acid compositions for different parts of pork showed no significant differences. Among the sensory characteristics, the parameters of pork were not significantly different. The moisture content of Holstein was significantly higher than Korean native cattle. The fatty acid composition of beef could not confirm the specific differences. Water holding capacity of Korean native cattle was higher than Holstein, while cooking loss of Korean native cattle was lower than Holstein. Overall acceptability scores of Korean native cattle was higher than Holstein. Conclusion: The study results of several parameters in selected raw meat samples provide useful information for developing new strategies to improve the quality of meat products consumption.

This study was carry out to investigate the quality characteristics of Korean native black ground pork compared with modern genotype ground pork during refrigerated storage. Korean native black pig and modern genotype pig were slaughtered at 75 kg and 105 kg of live weight, and for 240 days and 210 days of feeding periods, respectively. The ground lean pork (M. semimembranosus) was stored for 9 days at 4℃. The crude fat and crude protein contents were significantly (p<0.05) higher in Korean native black pork. The pH value after 5 days of storage was significantly (p<0.05) lower in Korean native black pork than in modern genotype pork. WHC of Korean native black pork was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of modern genotype pork over time. The Korean native black pork maintained black reddish color because it had lower CIE L/sup */ value and higher CIE a/sup */ value than the modern genotype pork. CIE L/sup */, b/sup */, C/sup */ and h/sup O/ values decreased as storage time increased. TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance), POV (peroxide value) and FOX (ferrous oxidation xylenol orange) tended to increase as storage time increased in all of the groups, in particular, those values increased more rapidly in Korean native black pork. Total saturated fatty acid and stearic acid contents had significantly higher in Korean native black pork (p<0.05).

The objective of this study was to compare the physical and sensory characteristics of pork from Korean native black pigs ($78{\pm}7kg$, female) to the pork of crossbred black pigs ($115{\pm}5kg$, female), both of which were reared for the same period on Jeju Island. The Korean native black pig showed a lower $L^*$ value (lightness) and higher $a^*$-(redness) and $b^*$-values (yellowness) than the crossbred black pig. There were no statistically meaningful differences between the two pigs' loins, hams and bellies of the two breeds of pig in terms of water holding capacity, thawing loss, cooking loss, myofibrillar protein extract, and fragmentation index. The crossbred black pigs showed greater significant differences among the physical characteristics of each part, as compared to the Korean native black pigs. The cooked meat of the Korean native black pig had superior hardness to that of the crossbred black pig, whereas the raw meat had a lower hardness, chewiness, and shear force value. Finally, there was no significant difference between the two pigs in terms of palatability.

This study was carried out to compare the quality characteristics of korean native black pork (KNP) and modern genotype pork (MGP) during refrigerated storage after thawing. M. longissimus from 5 Korean native black barrows of 65.3 kg and 5 modern genotype barrows ($Landrace{\times}Yorkshire{\times}Duroc$) of 114.3 kg were frozen at $-80^{\circ}C$ for 1 month and stored at $2{\pm}0.3^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The carcass weight and dressing percentage was significantly lower in pork from Korean native black pigs than modern genotype pigs (p<0.05). The crude fat and sensory quality were significantly higher in KNP than in MGP (p<0.05), and moisture, myristic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, linolenic acid, and cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid levels were significantly lower in KNP (p<0.05). The pH value was significantly higher in KNP than in MGP after 5 days of storage (p<0.05). Drip loss was significantly lower in KNP than in MGP during storage (p<0.05). The TBARS value was significantly higher in KNP than in MGP after 5 days of storage (p<0.05). Overall, KNP had lower moisture and unsaturated fatty acid levels relative to MGP and showed less oxidative stability during storage, however it had higher crude fat content, water-holding capacity, sensory quality and color stability than MGP.

Objective: The present study aimed at comparing the nutritional composition and color traits between two meat types: Horse meat and pork from Korean native black pigs raised in Jeju Island. Methods: After slaughter 24 h, the longissimus dorsi samples were taken from left side carcasses of the 32-mo-old Jeju female breed horses and the 6-mo-old Korean native black pigs (n = 10 each). The samples were then placed into cool boxes containing ice packs and transported to the Laboratory of Meat Science where all visual fats and connective tissues were trimmed off and then the samples were ground. All the samples were analyzed for nutritional composition (proximate composition, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, and amino acids) and color traits. Results: The horse meat contained significantly higher collagen, moisture and protein than the pork (p<0.05). The Jeju horse meat showed more desirable fatty acid profiles such as containing significantly lower saturated fatty acids (SFA), higher polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) contents and PUFA/SFA ratios than the pork (p<0.05). Differences in concentrations of ten amino acids existed between the two meat types in which the horse meat had higher values for all these amino acids, total amino acids (20.33 g/100 g) and essential amino acids (10.06 g/100 g) than the pork (p<0.05). Also, the horse meat showed significantly higher concentrations of Fe (34.21 mg/100 g) and Cu (2.47 mg/100 g) than the pork (Fe, 17.42 mg/100 g and Cu, 1.51 mg/100 g) (p<0.05). All the vitamins detected showed statistical differences between the two meat types in which the horse meat had higher concentrations of vitamin B1 (25.19 mg/100 g), B2 (92.32 mg/100 g), B3 (2,115.51 mg/100 g), and B5 (67.13 mg/100 g) than the pork (p<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results obtained in the study, it is concluded that the two meat types studied are rich in nutrients and the animal species strongly affected the nutritional values and color traits of the muscle tissues.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary oriental medicine refuse(OMR) and mugwort powder on physico-chemical characteristics of Korean Native Pork(KNP). KNP were randomly assigned to one of the three dietary treatments : 1) control (commercial feed) 2) T1 (commercial fed supplemented with 10% OMR powder) 3) T2 (commercial feed with 10% mugwort powder). 15 heads(♂) were feed one of the experimental diets for 5 months and slaughtered. In the proximate composition, moisture content showed slightly high in the T1, however, fat content were tended to be high in the control. The heating loss, shear value, WHC (water holding capacity) were not significantly between control and the treatments group. The T1 showed the lowest pH among treatments (P<0.05). In sensory evaluation, juiciness and tenderness of T1 and T2 were higher compared with that of control. Hunter a* did not show any difference among the treatments group. But Hunter L*, b* in treatment group(T1, T2) were higher than that of the control. Oleic acid, linoleic acid and unsaturated fatty acid contents of T1 and T2 were higher than the control. The total amino acid of the control, T1 and T2 were 18.290, 18.177 and 18.942mg%, respectively.

A totally 178 housewives in Gyeongnam were surveyed on consumer's purchase behavior and perception of branded pork. The degree of consumers' perception and reliance on the branded pork was still low. Consumers' consideration quality factors when buying pent is higher in order of safety/hygiene>taste/tenderness>meat color, In taste, consumer preferred Korean native pig meat when compared to the common meat. But the consumers have a notion that the price of Korean native pig meat was too expensive. The consumer preferred consumer group to government agency as a official approval organ for pork quality assurance. The consumers had different behavior in information channel, purchase frequency and place depending on age, income. In the development of branded pork, further studied are required on consumers' purchase behavior, perception, preference choice and decision-making process of branded pork.

The aim of the study was to investigate pig reference families, generated from Korean native pigs (KNP) that were crossed with Yorkshire (YS) breeds, which were used to evaluate genetic markers to select breeding animals with superior pork quality. A set of five candidate genes (PRKAG3, MC4R, CAST, ESR, and PRLR ) was analyzed for association with pork quality traits. PRKAG3 (I199V) SNP genotypes were significantly associated with muscle moisture, protein, and fat contents. The MC4R D298N polymorphism was significantly associated with meat tenderness and color traits. The CAST polymorphism was significantly associated with muscle moisture and crude protein traits. These three genes have been associated with pork quality traits in other pig populations, and some of our results are consistent with earlier studies. In addition, two reproductive candidate genes (ESR and PRLR ) did not have significant associations. These results suggest that further study is warranted to investigate and develop more DNA markers associated with pork quality in our KNP-crossed pig families.

We attempted to generate a linkage map using Illumina Porcine 60K SNP Beadchip genotypes of the $F_2$ offspring from Korean native pig (KNP) crossed with Yorkshire (YS) pig, and to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) using the line-cross model. Among the genotype information of the 62,136 SNPs obtained from the high-density SNP analysis, 45,308 SNPs were used to select informative markers with allelic frequencies >0.7 between the KNP (n = 16) and YS (n = 8) F0 animals. Of the selected SNP markers, a final set of 500 SNPs with polymorphic information contents (PIC) values of >0.300 in the $F_2$ groups (n = 252) was used for detection of thirty meat quality-related QTL on chromosomes at the 5% significance level and 10 QTL at the 1% significance level. The QTL for crude protein were detected on SSC2, SSC3, SSC6, SSC9 and SSC12; for intramuscular fat and marbling on SSC2, SSC8, SSC12, SSC14 and SSC18; meat color measurements on SSC1, SSC3, SSC4, SSC5, SSC6, SSC10, SSC11, SSC12, SSC16 and SSC18; water content related measurements in pork were detected on SSC4, SSC6, SSC7, SSC10, SSC12 and SSC14. Additional QTL of pork quality traits such as texture, tenderness and pH were detected on SSC6, SSC12, SSC13 and SSC16. The most important chromosomal region of superior pork quality in KNP compared to YS was identified on SSC12. Our results demonstrated that a QTL linkage map of the $F_2$ design in the pig breed can be generated with a selected data set of high density SNP genotypes. The QTL regions detected in this study will provide useful information for identifying genetic factors related to better pork quality in KNP.
