The objective of this study was to predict total bacteria count of pork meats by using the portable electronic nose systems developed throughout two stages of the prototypes. Total bacteria counts were measured for pork meats stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 21days and compared with the signals of the electronic nose systems. PLS(Partial least square), PCR (Principal component regression), MLR (Multiple linear regression) models were developed for the prediction of total bacteria count of pork meats. The coefficient of determination ($R_p{^2}$) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) for the models were 0.789 and 0.784 log CFU/g with the 1st system for the pork loin, 0.796 and 0.597 log CFU/g with the 2nd system for the pork belly, and 0.661 and 0.576 log CFU/g with the 2nd system for the pork loin respectively. The results show that the developed electronic system has potential to predict total bacteria count of pork meats.

The objectives of this study were to develope the uncooked-restructured belly (URB) and the processed-restructured bacon (PRB) using a protein-emulsion material (PEM) from pork, and to evaluate the quality characteristics of the URB and PRB. The PEM used to adhere muscle and fat tissues was prepared with a salt-soluble protein and emulsions (ratio 9:1). In color measurements, L$\^$*/, a$\^$*/ and b$\^$*/ values were significantly (p＜0.05) higher in URB than PRB. There was no significant difference in L$\^$*/ value between PRB from fresh pork and PRB from thaw pork PRB showed significantly (p＜0.05) higher water holding capacity compared to URB. Tensil strength of PRB was also significantly (p＜0.05) higher than that of URB. However, PRB from thawed pork marked the lowest color score among restructured meats in sensory evaluation. The scores of juiciness and tenderness were significantly (p＜0.05) Higher in URB compared to PRB. Consequently URB had significantly (p.＜0.05) higher score of overall acceptability than PRB. These results suggested that URB made with PEM could have a better sensory characteristics compared to PRB. Results also suggested that the PEM would not be enough to adhere fresh muscle and fat tissues as much as PRB, even though the possibility of PEM was confirmed as a meat glue.

The main objective of the present study was to determine the effect of dietary ${\beta}-cyclodextrin\;({\beta}CD)$ on reducing the cholesterol content of pork. Twelve swine of 50 kg body weight were randomly distributed into four groups of three heads each and fed experimental diets for 9 weeks until they reached a market weight of 110 kg. They were assigned to the four experimental diets containing 0% (control), 1.5%, 3.0% or 5.0% pure ${\beta}CD$. Daily feed intake, body weight gain and feed efficiency were not significantly different between any of the four group. The plasma total lipid, triacylglycerol and total cholesterol content of the swine in the three ${\beta}CD$-fed groups were significantly (p<0.05) decreased when compared to those in the control group, and were significantly (p<0.05) reduced by 21.80%,55.58% and 27.69%, respectively, in the swine fed on 5% ${\beta}CD$. The cholesterol content of pork belly (mg/100g) was significantly (p<0.05) decreased by 5.33 mg, 12.70 mg and 15.23 mg in the swine maintained on 1.5%, 3.0% and 5.0% ${\beta}CD$, respectively. The cholesterol content of pork belly, when expressed as the rate of reduced cholesterol, was significantly (p<0.05) decreased by 6.44%, 15.36% and 18.42% in groups of 1.5%, 3.0% and 5.0% ${\beta}CD$, respectively, when compared to that of the control group. These results suggest that dietary ${\beta}CD$ may be classified as dietary fiber which can modulate cholesterol metabolism in swine.

Surface swab samples from beef (188), pork (240) and chicken (95) carcasses were collected from slaughterhouse in Kangwon and Kyunggi areas from March through July 1996. The samples were examined on the level of E. coli biotype I relevant to fecal contamination due to unsanitary processing control and the existence of verocytotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC). E. coli biotype I were confirmed from 38.8% of beef, 40.0% of pork, and 69.5% of chicken carcasses. Little variation was noted among three sampling points; rump, flank and neck of beef, ham, belly and jowls of pork. coli O157:H7 was only confirmed from 2 of 188 beef carcasses. E. coli biotype I. All the isolated E. coli O157 showed positive for vero cell cytotoxicity test. Isolation rate of E. coli O157 in summer was higher than in spring. In case of pork and chicken carcasses, E. coli O157 was isolated in summer only.

Under-fired charbroiling cooking processes are known as important contributors of particulate matter (PM). In this study, we characterized the emission of particulate matters from under-fired charbroiling cooking processes using the hood method. Accumulated mass concentration of $PM_{10}$ was 92.2~99.5% and particle size of 2.0~2.5 ${\mu}m$ was highest. The concentration of PM increased very sharply at the beginning of charbroiling meats and then gradually decreased as the charbroiling continued. PM concentration also increased very sharply when gravy from meat spilled onto the frame of fire. However, mass concentration during charbroiling using only charcoals was very low compared to that of meats. We estimated the emission factors of charcoal, pork belly and pork shoulder respectively; 0.01~0.02 g/kg, 5.02~6.26 g/kg, 2.86~4.15 g/kg of $PM_{2.5}$, 0.01~0.03 g/kg, 7.44~7.91 g/kg, 4.54~5.56 g/kg of $PM_{10}$, and 0.02~0.05 g/kg, 7.59~7.95 g/kg, 4.93~5.68 g/kg of TSP. The emission factors of charcoal were negligible and the emission factors of pork belly were higher than that of pork shoulder. Emission rates of particulate matters from under-fired charbroiling cooking process were estimated as 578,009~1,265,152 kg/yr of $PM_{2.5}$, 917,539~1,598,619 kg/yr of $PM_{10}$ and 996.358~1,606,703 kg/yr of TSP. But emission factors should be verified with an in-stack cascade impactor because the reported method involves some assumptions.

The effects of dietary conjugated linoleic aicd on pork quality was investigated using sixty four pigs. CLA was synthesized by alkaline isomerization method with corn oil. Pigs were devided into 4 treatment groups(16 pigs/group) arid subjected to one of four treatment diets(0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% CLA diets) for 2 weeks before slaughter. Pork loin and belly were collected from the animals(105∼110kg body weight) slaughtering at the commercial slaughter house. Pork loin and belly meat were aerobic packaged and then stored during 2. 5. 8. 11 and 13 days at 4$\^{C}$ refrigerator. Samples were analysed for meat color, texture and sensory characteristics. There were no diference in meat color(L*, a*, b*), texture and sensory property among control and CLA treatment (s), and no changes as the storage period passed. This results mean that feeding CLA to pork doesn't change the meat color and texture of the pork what consumers consider when they buy some meat. Especially, feeding CLA to pork didn't transform sensory property of the pork. We considered these result as no problem in the pig fed with CLA.

This study investigates how visual appearance of pork cuts affects consumer preference. Images of pork belly, Boston butt, and loin were chosen on the basis of visible fattiness and used to analyze consumers' perception of the appearance of each pork cut. Meat color and visible fat proportion of images of pork cuts were analyzed by the researchers before conducting the survey. A total of 211 pork eaters evaluated the pork cuts based on appearance (lightness of color, redness, visible fat proportion, and fat distribution), preferability, and overall acceptability. Also, muscle pieces from different pork cuts were taken and the relative area composition of muscle fibers was measured. Based on survey results, correlation between visual traits and preferences of each pork cut was analyzed. The survey results showed that preferred pork appearance varied as per each individual's favorite pork cut. Also, the respondents evaluated visual characteristics and preference for each pork cut differently possibly due to the different visual characteristics of each cut. Correlation analysis between visual traits and preference indicated that overall acceptability of pork cuts was mainly influenced by fat preference, followed by color preference. Fat and color preferences for each pork cut were affected by various visual attributes including redness, lightness of color, visible fat proportion, and fat distribution, but their effects were considerably varied among different pork cuts. Thus, Korean consumers perceived and assessed pork appearance using various quality cues but the evaluation depended on which cut was being observed.

To elucidate changes in qualifies of pork and beef during storage and identify decay point, beef (loin, tenderloin, plate) and pork (belly, loin, thigh) were stored at $4^{\circ}C$, and their pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), thiobarbituric acid reacted substance (TBARS), electronic nose analysis, and sensory evaluation were performed. Belly of pork had higher values in pH, VBN and TBARS, compared to loin and thigh of pork. Electronic nose analysis clearly indicated a difference in principal component score between day 0 and day 12 of storage. Sensory evaluation showed that pork began to away at day 4 of storage and not edible after 6 days. Loin and tenderloin of beef had higher values in pH and VBN, compared to plate of beef. Regarding TBARS, all beef samples had the similar values at the beginning of storage, but loin of beef had a drastic increase after 8 days of storage, differently from tenderloin and plate of beef. Plate of beef had lower values in overall. Electronic nose analysis of beef showed the similar results with those of pork.

The physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics for the neck, belly and ham of crossbred pigs SW90 (slaughter weight $90\sim100\;kg$) and SW110(slaughter weight $110\sim120\;kg$) were evaluated to investigate their quality. The water holding capacity, freezing loss, thawing loss, pan boiling loss and water boiling loss were not significantly different between SW90 and SW110, but the thawing loss and water boiling loss of belly were higher than those of other parts(p<0.05). The surface color was not affect by slaughter weight, but the L* value of belly was higher than that of the other parts and a* value was lower than that of the neck and ham(p<0.05). The mechanical texture was not affect by slaughter weight, the hardness of belly was lower than that of the neck and ham, but the springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness and shear force of neck and ham were lower than those of belly(p<0.05). The pH, VBN content and TBARS value was not significantly different by slaughter weight. The taste, aroma, texture, juiciness and palatability of SW110 were higher than those of SW90, and the sensory characteristics of belly were higher than those of neck and ham, but their difference was not significant.
