  • Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) was investigated to determine whether it was an effective binding agent for the processing of low-quality pork loins. MTGase especially promoted the coagulation of myosin heavy chain (MHC). However, the effect of MTGase on MHC from low-quality meat was less than that from the normal meat when the reaction time was not enough. The breaking strength of the heat-induced gel made of myosin B from low-quality meat with MTGase was lower than that of normal meat. Sausage made with low-quality meat with MTGase did not exhibit improved hardness, as compared to that made with normal meat. Results of this study indicated that use of low-quality meat in the manufacture of sausage was feasible to get textural property equal to that of normal meat sausage, when a half or more of the raw material was normal meat and MTGase was used in the sausage.

  • The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-$CO_2$) treatment on meat quality and sensory evaluation of marinated pork. Meat marinated in two traditional Korean marinades, soy sauce and hot-pepper paste, and raw marinated meat were then treated with 7.4, 12.2, or 15.2 MPa $CO_2$ at $31.1^{\circ}C$for 10 min. The SC-$CO_2$ treatments had no effect on the meat pH (p>0.05) or Warner-Bratzler shear force (p>0.05). There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the total loss (sum of treatment loss and cooking loss) between the control and SC-$CO_2$ treated samples at 15.2 MPa (soy sauce marinated pork: 21.78 vs. 18.97%; hot-pepper marinated pork: 21.61 vs. 18.01%). After the SC-$CO_2$ treatment, lighter surface colors were observed in the treatment samples compared to those of the control samples (p< 0.001). However, tasting panelists were unable to distinguish a difference in color or in overall acceptability of the control and treatment (p>0.05). In the case of soy sauce marinated pork, when SC-$CO_2$ applied at 15.2 MPa and $31.1^{\circ}C$for 10 min, treatment samples showed a tenderer meat than the control samples. Therefore, the SC-$CO_2$ treatment conditions had no adverse effects on the sensory quality characteristics of the marinated meat products.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the effect of addition of mugwort powder and carcass grade on the quality characteristics of pork patty. Pork patties prepared from A patty(grade B pork patty), B patty(grade B pork patty containing mugwort powder), C patty(grade E pork patty) and D patty(grade E pork patty containing mugwort powder). The chemical composition, calorie, residual nitrite, surface color, textural properties, water holding capacity and sensory evaluation were evaluated. Moisture contents(%) were not different among patties, and crude fat(%) and calorie values of patties prepared from grade B pork meat were higher than those of patties prepared from grade E pork meat. Crude ash contents(%) were not different among patties, and residual nitrite contents(ppm) of patties containing mugwort powder were lower than those of patties without mugwort powder. Hunter L and b values of patties prepared from grade B pork meat were higher than those of patties prepared from grade E pork meat, and Hunters a values of patties prepared from grade E pork meat were higher than those of patties prepared from grade B pork meat. Hardness, cohesiveness and chewiness values of patties prepared from grade B pork meat were lower than those of patties prepared from grade E pork meat. Aroma, taste, texture, juiciness, color and palatability values were not different among patties.

  • Objective: To develop healthier comminuted meat products to meet consumer demand, the gel properties, rheological properties, microstructure and water distribution of pork meat batters formulated with various amounts of bamboo shoot dietary fiber (BSDF) were investigated. Methods: Different levels of BSDF (0% to 4%) were added to pork batters, and the pH, color, water-holding capacity, texture and rheological properties of pork batters were determined. Then, pork batters were analyzed for their microstructure and water distribution using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR). Results: Compared with the control, BSDF addition into meat batters showed a significant reduction in L*-value and a significant increase in b*-value (p<0.05). BSDF addition of up to 4% reduced the pH value of pork batters by approximately 0.15 units; however, the cooking loss and expressible water loss decreased significantly (p<0.05) with the increased addition of BSDF. The hardness and gel strength were noticeably enhanced (p<0.05) as the content of BSDF increased. The rheological results showed that BSDF added into pork batters produced higher storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") values. The SEM images suggested that the addition of BSDF could promote pork batters to form a more uniform and compact microstructure. The proportion of immobilized water increased significantly (p<0.05), while the population of free water was decreased (p<0.05), indicating that BSDF improved the water-holding capability of pork batters by decreasing the fraction of free water. Conclusion: BSDF could improve the gel properties, rheological properties and water distribution of pork meat batters and decrease the proportion of free water, suggesting that BSDF has great potential as an effective binder in comminuted meat products.

  • This study aimed to compare meat quality traits between Berkshire and crossbreed (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc), and to investigate the relationship between meat quality traits and fatty acid composition. 20 Berkshire and 20 crossbreed pigs were used to compare pork loin quality and to determine the relationship between measured variables. 23 variables were measured including proximate composition, pH, drip loss and cooking loss, Warner-Bratzler shear force, and fatty acid composition. Berkshire had higher moisture content, pH, water-holding capacity, saturated fatty acids, and redness than the crossbreed pig (p < 0.05). The fat content and polyunsaturated fatty acid were low (p < 0.05) in Berkshire. Correlation analysis showed a negatively correlation between moisture and fat content, and a positively correlation between saturated fatty acid and fat content. Moreover, saturated fatty acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid were negatively correlated. As a result of factor analysis and partial least square regression, saturated fatty acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid were estimated to be the main factors affecting quality characteristics of pork. Pig breed is associated with differences in meat quality, and fatty acid composition can have an effect on meat quality parameters.

  • This study was carried out to determine the effect of treating with salt-fermented shrimp on quality of pig meat. The treated pig meats were stored at 4$^{\circ}C$, 1$0^{\circ}C$, 2$0^{\circ}C$ or 4$^{\circ}C$ after placing 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 35 hours, respectively. Meat tenderness was improved more at 2$0^{\circ}C$ storage than at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and 4$^{\circ}C$ storage. However, in water holding capacity, the meat stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ was increased more than them of 1$0^{\circ}C$ and 2$0^{\circ}C$. Cooking loss was decreased more at 4$^{\circ}C$ than the other storage temperatures. When meat color observed, it was good at the early stage of storage but went down to the worse gradually. According to the result of SDS-PAGE, myofibrillar proteins were degraded more after treated with salt-fermented shrimp than the control. Among them, titin-I was especially degraded after 2 days at 4$^{\circ}C$ storage even though it was degraded after 1 day at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and 2$0^{\circ}C$ storage. These results suggest that salt-fermented shrimps cause to improve the quality of pork meats by increasing the meat color, meat tenderness and water holding capacity at the early stage of storage.

  • 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.

  • In this study, the effects of physical parameters (30-270 MPa of pressure, 3-57 min of time, and 1-$49^{\circ}C$ of temperature) on pork quality were investigated. Response surface methodology was used in order to monitor and model the changes in pork quality under varied pressure conditions. As quality characteristics, shear force, water holding capacity (WHC) and the CIE color of pork were measured, and optimum pressure conditions were evaluated by statistical modeling. Pressure improved the WHC of pork at relatively low temperature ($<25^{\circ}C$); however, the opposite occurred with increasing temperature. Although pressure and temperature affected the tenderness of the meat, interaction effects among variations were not observed. At pressure levels higher than 200 MPa, the color of pork differed markedly from that of the untreated controls. In particular, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed marked evidence of myosin denaturation. The present study demonstrates that pork quality varies depending on pressure conditions.

  • Background: The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of persimmon peel (PPM) supplementation on carcass performance, pork quality, eating quality, fatty acid composition, and cholesterol concentration of the porcine longissimus dorsi muscle. Results: No adverse effects of PPM supplementation were observed on carcass and meat quality characteristics among the treatment groups (P > 0.05), whereas pork loins from pigs fed a diet supplemented with 0.9 % persimmon peel (T3) showed more tender meat than did pork loins from pigs fed a control diet (P < 0.01), even though no significant difference was observed between the control and T1 group. The T3 group had higher ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids relative to saturated fatty acids (0.33 vs. 0.28, P < 0.05) and lower total cholesterol concentration (94.4 vs. 99.1 mg/g, P < 0.05) compared to the control group. Persimmon peel appeared to have beneficial effects on fatty acid composition and cholesterol concentration, probably leading to a hypocholesterolemic effect. Conclusions: Animal diets fortified with persimmon peel represents an efficient and useful method for improving the nutritional quality of pork without impairing growth performance and eating quality properties.
