To replace the traditional drying method with improving the qualities of dried squid, warm air drying method was investigated comparing with natural drying method. In respect of drying rate, about 12 hrs were taken to obtain 25% moisture content -which was considered as proper moisture content to control microbial and quality degradation- by warm air drying at 35$^{\circ}C$. However, 120 hrs were taken to obtain such moisture content by natural drying. The squid dried by warm air showed little color difference and was seemed to be raw squid meat color. TBA values were more rapidly increased but final values were lower, inversely. Free amino acid contents were higher, and cholesterol content was lower in warm air drying.

This study investigated the effects of NaCl replacers (KCl, $CaSO_4$, and $MgSO_4$) on the quality and sensorial properties of pork patty. In the characteristics of spray-dried salt particles, KCl showed the largest particle size with low viscosity in solution. Meanwhile $CaSO_4$ treatment resulted in the smallest particle size and the highest viscosity (p<0.05). In comparison of the qualities of pork patties manufactured by varying level of Na replacers, $MgSO_4$ treatment exhibited low cooking loss comparing to control (p<0.05). Textural properties of KCl and $MgSO_4$ treatments showed similar pattern, i.e., low level of the replacers caused harder and less adhesive texture than those of control (p<0.05), whereas the hardness of these products was not different with control when the replacers were added more than 1.0%. The addition of $CaSO_4$ also manifested harder and less adhesive than control (p<0.05), but the textural properties of $CaSO_4$ treatment was not affected by level of Ca-salt. Eventually, sensorial properties indicated that KCl and $CaSO_4$ influenced negative effects on pork patties. In contrast, $MgSO_4$ showed better sensorial properties in juiciness intensity, tenderness intensity as well as overall acceptability than control, reflecting that $MgSO_4$ was an effective Na-replacer in meat product formulation.

The effects of electron-beam irradiation on the microbial and sensory qualities of pork loins were studied. The pork loins were aerobically packed in polyethylene films and exposed to absorbed doses of electron-beam at 0, 0.5, 1 and 2 kGy in ambient temperature. All samples were stored at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. As an irradiation dose increased, decontaminating effects increased in terms of total microbial count, lactic acid bacteria and psychrotrophs during storage. All difference degrees in the triangle test were very low levels. In the descriptive analysis, Low dose irradiation did not affect aroma, off-flavor and acceptability in fresh and cooked meats.

This study aimed to determine the optimal ratio of natural calcium powders (oyster shell and egg shell calcium) as synthetic phosphate replacers in pork products. Ground pork samples were subjected to six treatments, as follows: control (-) (no phosphate added), control (+) (0.3% phosphate blend added), treatment 1 (0.5% oyster shell calcium powder added), treatment 2 (0.3% oyster shell calcium powder and 0.2% egg shell calcium powder added), treatment 3 (0.2% oyster shell calcium powder and 0.3% egg shell calcium powder added), and treatment 4 (0.5% egg shell calcium powder added). The addition of natural calcium powders resulted in an increase in the pH values of meat products, regardless of whether they were used individually or mixed. The highest cooking loss was observed (p<0.05) in the negative control samples, whereas the cooking loss in samples with natural calcium powder added was similar (p>0.05) to that in the positive control samples. CIE $L^*$ values decreased as the amount of added egg shell calcium powder increased. CIE $a^*$ values were higher (p<0.05) in samples containing natural calcium powder (treatments 1, 2, 3, and 4) than in the positive control. The combination of oyster shell calcium powder and egg shell powder (treatment 2 or 3) was effective for the improvement of textural properties of the pork products. The findings show that the combined use of 0.2% oyster shell calcium and 0.3% egg shell calcium should enable the replacement of synthetic phosphate in the production of cooked pork products with desirable qualities.

Physico-chemical qualities of pyunyuk depending on the cooking time were evaluated to produce high quality and to reduce labor and processing time. Pork headmeat divided into two parts was cooked for 1~4hrs, trimmed and pressed with 110kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$(gauge pressure) for 3.5hrs at 1$0^{\circ}C$. The contents of general nutrients, yield, texture, color, fatty acid composition, gel structure, and sensory evaluation were observed. Deboning time was very dependent on cooking time. Optimum cooking time observed in this study was 2~2.5hrs for efficiency of deboning and yield. Excess cooking time resulted in low yield and working efficiency. Yield variation depending on the cooking time was 14.3~26.0% and it was reduced by increasing the cooking time. The content of moisture was 53.5~54.8% which was not significantly different by cooking time. The content of crude fat was 14.2~26.0% which was decreased by increasing the cooking time. The contents of crude protein(21.1~26.3%) and mineral(1.4~2.7%) were increased by increasing the cooking time. The color of pyunyuk was significantly different by cooking time(p<0.05). In the texture, hardness and chewiness of the pyunyuk cooked for 2hrs were significantly higher than others processed in this study(p<0.05). However cohesiveness and springiness were not different among pyunyuks. With sensory evaluation, hardness was similar among the pyunyuks cooked over 2hrs. The pyunyuk cooked for 1hr showed higher value in juiciness than the pyunyuk cooked for 3~4hrs(p<0.05). The % of saturated fatty acids was decreased by increasing the cooking time, and gel structure of pyunyuk cooked for 2hrs was the most compact among treaments. In conclusion, 2hrs was proper as a cooking time concerned with working efficiency and physico-chemical quality of pyunpyk.

This study was carried out to evaluate changes in the characteristics of the fermented pork using a Korean traditional seasonings. Biceps femoris were cut to cube(7 ${\times}$ 12 ${\times}$ 2 em) and three Korean traditional seasonings such as soybean paste(Tl), garlic paste(T2), red pepper paste(T3), were seasoned by the proportions of meat to each seasonings(l: 1), respectively. The seasoned samples were fermented at 0 $\pm$ 1 $^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. Sensory evaluation did not significantly differ between all treatments. The highest pH among treatments were shown in T2, wheres T3 showed the lowest value. The highest saccarinity was shown in T2, followed by T3. Salinity was shown to be higher in all treatments. Shear force value was the highest in T2 and T3. VBN and TBARS increased during storage. The total bacterial counts was highest of storage 21 days. E. coli. was higher in the order of T2 > T3 > TI. Lactobacilli spp. was higher in the order of T2 > T1 > T3.

This study was conducted to compare the physicochemical traits of dry-cured hams made from two different pig breeds: Berkshire and $Landrace{\times}Yorkshire{\times}Duroc$ (LYD). Pigs were slaughtered at a live weight of approximately 110 kg and cooled at $0^{\circ}C$ for 24 h in a chilling room. Then, the ham portion of the carcasses were cut and processed by dry-curing for physicochemical analyses. The dry-cured hams from Berkshire contain higher crude protein, fat, and ash level than those from LYD, whereas the hams from LYD had higher moisture contents than those from Berkshire(p < 0.05). The pH values of the hams from Berkshire were lower than those from LYD (p < 0.05). The hams from Berkshire had lower $L^*$ and $b^*$ values than those from LYD (p < 0.05). Palmitoleic acid (C16:1), oleic acid (C18:1), elaidic acid (C18:1t), monounsaturated fatty acids, and ratio of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids (n-6/n-3) in the ham from Berkshire were higher than LYD (p < 0.05). Free amino acids such as aspartic acid, threonine, serine, asparagine, glutamic acid, and lysine in hams from Berkshire were higher than those from LYD (p < 0.05). The microbial population had no significant difference between Berkshire and LYD dry-cured ham. The cross sections of dry cured ham showed difference from different breeds using scanning electron microscope and indicates some differences in texture. Considering the meat quality parameters of ham, hams from Berkshire could provide variety of ham for consumer who are seeking various different qualities and stories.

This study investigated the changes in the physicochemical properties of soybean sprout, radish, and pork loin during frozen Bibimbab production. The qualities of soybean sprout were affected by the blanching, thawing, and cooking processes, with the blanching process particularly regarded as an important process to attribute the overall quality of the soybean sprouts in the final product. High weight loss of radish was found in the thawing and cooking processes, while the weight loss was relatively lower than that of soybean sprout. However, mixing with hot rice can be attributed for the steep decrease in shear force of the radish. For pork meat, normally thermal treatment such as mixing with hot rice and cooking manifested quality deterioration. Based on the results, mixing process appeared to be the most important process which affected the final quality of the materials. To improve the quality of final frozen Bibimbab, therefore, it was recommended to freeze the food ingredient separately from rice prior to packaging, which warranted the follow up exploration.

This study investigated the effect of transglutaminase (TGase) and polysaccharide kappa carrageenan on the texture, chemical, and microbiological qualities of refrigerated unmarketable rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Gel strength increased substantially in TGase-treated samples, and was adding kappa carrageenan resulted in no significant difference. SDS-PAGE results confirmed that the myosin heavy chain band with a molecular weight of 205-250 kDa was weakened in trout meat treated with 1% TGase, which led to cross-linking reactions between proteins. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) increased in all samples during storage at 4℃ for 10 days; however, the samples treated with 0.5% and 1% kappa carrageenan had the lowest VBN. The viable cell count increased in all samples treated with TGase and kappa carrageenan; however, an increase in TGase enzyme and kappa carrageenan concentration successfully hindered total bacteria growth. Thus, adding 1% TGase and 1% kappa carrageenan to refrigerated unmarketable rainbow trout formulations can optimize quality characteristics.

Simulation studies were carried out to investigate the responses of selection for three carcass traits (longissimus muscle area: EMA, fat thickness: BF, and marbling score: MS) based on either adjusted phenotypes (APH) or estimated breeding values (EBV) in multivariate animal model with different breeding schemes. Selection responses were estimated and compared on six different models with respect to breeding schemes using either carcass measurements or real time ultrasonic (RTU) scans generated by Monte Carlo computer simulation supporting closed breeding population. From the base population with 100 sires and 2000 dams, 20 sires and 1000 dams by each generation were selected by either APH or EBV for 10 generations. Relative economic weights were equal of three traits as EMA(1): BF(－1) : MS(1) for standardized either APH or EBV. For first two models which were similarly designed with current progeny-test program in Korean cattle, three carcass traits with records either only on male progenies (Model 1) or on male and female progenies (Model 2) were used for selecting breeding stocks. Subsequently, generation intervals on males were assumed as 6${\sim}$10 years in these two models. The other two models were designed with tools of selection by RTU rather than carcass measurements with genetic correlations of 0.81${\sim}$0.97 between RTU and corresponding carcass traits in addition to whether with records (Model 4) or without records (Model 3) on female. In these cases, generation intervals on males were assumed as 2${\sim}$4 years. The remaining last two models were designed as similar with Models 3 and 4 except genetic correlations of 0.63${\sim}$0.68 between RTU and corresponding carcass traits with records (Model 6) and without records (Model 5) on females. The results from 10 replicates on each model and selecting methods suggested that responses indirect selection for carcass traits in Model 4 were 1.66${\sim}$2.44 times efficient rather than those in Model 1. Otherwise, in Model 6 with assuming moderate genetic correlations, those efficiencies were 1.18${\sim}$2.08 times with comparing to responses in Model 1. However, selection response for marbling score was the smallest among three carcass traits because of small variation of measurements. From these results, this study suggested that indirect selection using RTU technology for improving high meat qualities in Korean cattle would be valuable with modifying measuring rules of marbling score forward to large variation or modifying relative economic weight for selection.
