Food safety is a fundamental requirement for consumers. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the freshness of pork fillets based on freshness index (Ki value) analysis during storage. This study obtained a total of 24 pork fillets. This study was divided into 4℃ and -20℃ temperatures. Again, each temperature was divided into 4 different groups based on storage durations (15d). Each group was obtained in triplicate. The level of malondialdehyde (MDA) value was significantly increased at 4℃ than the -20℃ storage with the duration of storage days. The levels of inosine-5'-phosphate (IMP) in pork fillets were significantly decreased at 4℃ and -20℃. Hypoxanthine (Hx) levels were significantly increased at 15 days than those at 0 days during storage at both temperatures (4℃ and -20℃). Subsequent freezing increased more inosine levels at -20℃ than storage at 4℃. The Ki values were increased during storage days at both temperatures, although after 15d storage, its values at 4℃ were significantly higher than those at -20℃. These results demonstrated that storage period and temperature might affect the freshness of pork fillets via lipid oxidation and nucleotide degradation. This study suggested that the Ki value will be the crucial indicator of measurement of freshness of stored pork fillets.

Food Codex regulations have set freshness limits for oils used to fry food, such as potato and fish products, and fried food itself; however, no such freshness limits have been set for meat products, such as sweet and sour pork. The freshness standard suggest that acid values (AVs) and peroxide values (POVs) for frying oil should be less than 2.5 and 50, respectively, whereas AVs and POVs for common fried food should be less than 5.0 and 60, respectively. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the effect of the number of frying cycles on oxidation-promoted changes in the oils used to fry sweet and sour pork and fried food itself during repeated frying over 10 d by determining their AVs and POVs, which were found to be highly correlated. Soybean, canola, palm, and pork lard oils could be reused approximately 37, 32, 58, and 87 times, respectively, to fry sweet and sour pork based on oil freshness, and 78, 78, 81, and 286 times, respectively, based on the freshness of fried food. Our data may help establish food-quality regulations for oils used to fry animal-based foods.

The aim of this study was to develop a portable electronic nose system for freshness measurement of stored pork. An electronic nose system was constructed using seven different MOS sensor array. To determine the quality change of pork with storage time, the samples were divided into ten groups in terms of storage time with an increment of 2 day up to 19 storage days. GC-MS, total bacteria's count (TBC), thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), and pH analyses as well as the analysis of the electronic nose system measurement were performed to monitor the freshness change of the samples. To investigate the performance of the electronic nose system for detecting the change of freshness of pork, the acquired signal values of the system were compared with those of GC-MS, TBC, TBARS, and pH analysis values. According to principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) with the signals of the electronic nose system for the pork samples, the sample groups were clearly separated into two groups of 1-9 days and 11-19 days, and four groups of 1-3 days, 5-9 days, 11 days, and 13-19 days respectively. The results show that the electronic nose system has potential for evaluating freshness of pork.

The aim of this study was to develop a portable electronic nose system for freshness measurement of meats, which could be an alterative of subjective measurements of human nose and time-consuming measurements of conventional gas chromatograph methods. The portable electronic system was o optimized by comparing the measurement sensitivity and hardware efficiency, such as power consumption and dimension reduction throughout two stages of the prototypes. The electronic nose systems were constructed using an array of four different metal oxide semiconductor sensors. Two different configurations of sensor array with dimension were designed and compared the performance respectively. The final prototype of the system showed much improved performance on saving power consumption and dimension reduction without decrease of measurement sensitivity of pork freshness. The results show the potential of constructing a portable electronic system for the measurement of meat quality with high sensitivity and energy efficiency.

Supercooling storage refers to lowering the product temperature below its freezing point without phase transition and has the potential to extend shelf life. Nevertheless, supercooled objects are in a thermodynamically unstable state, and nucleation can occur spontaneously. To achieve supercooling storage, slow cooling and insulation are essential. Hence, a stepwise algorithm for the supercooling storage of pork loins was designed and validated in this study. Pork loins were stored at 3℃, -18℃, and -3℃ (freezing), and supercooled for 16 days. All samples remained in a supercooled state and were unfrozen at the end of storage. Supercooled pork loins were superior in terms of drip loss, cooking loss, and water-holding capacity compared to frozen samples. Additionally, supercooling treatment prevented discoloration, increase of volatile basic nitrogen, and microbial growth. Thus, supercooling of pork loin was achieved using a stepwise program and was effective to maintain meat quality.

기존 냉장고의 특선실과 새로운 냉각방식의 냉장고에 돼지고기, 쇠고기, 냉동참치를 저장하면서 그들의 품질을 비교하여 각 냉각방식의 차이가 부분 냉동식품의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 일반 냉장고 특선실$(-1^{\circ}C)$, 강제순환식 저장방법$(-5^{\circ}C)$, 그리고 자연대류식 저장방법$(-5^{\circ}C)$으로 저장하면서, 돼지고기와 쇠고기는 VBN, TBA, 및 수분함량을, 냉동참치는 K-value와 VBN값의 변화를 측정하였다. 저장 기간 중 모든 시료에 대해서 강제순환식 저장방법에서 수분함량이 급격히 감소하였으며 VBN의 경우도 수분함량에 영향을 받아서 강제순환방식이 다른 저장방법들보다 높은 수치를 보였다. 돼지고기의 경우 TBA값에 대한 유의적인 차이는 없었으며 쇠고기의 경우는 VBN에 대하여 유의적 차이는 나타나지 않았으나 TBA값은 일반 특선실과 자연대류식 저장방법에 대하여 유의적 차이를 보였다. 반면 포장을 한 경우는 일반 특선실과 강제순환 및 자연대류 저장방법에서 돼지고기의 품질의 차이가 발생하였다. 냉동참치는 VBN과 K-value에 대하여 일반 특선실과 자연대류식에 유의적인 차이가 있었다. 따라서 cold chamber의 온도를 $-5^{\circ}C$ 정도인 subfreezing온도로 유지하고, 자연대류 냉각방식을 적용하면 가정용 냉장고를 사용하여 육류 및 어류의 신선도를 현저히 연장시킬 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

This study proposed a rapid microscopic examination method for pork freshness evaluation by using the self-assembled hyperspectral microscopic imaging (HMI) system with the help of feature extraction algorithm and pattern recognition methods. Pork samples were stored for different days ranging from 0 to 5 days and the freshness of samples was divided into three levels which were determined by total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) content. Meanwhile, hyperspectral microscopic images of samples were acquired by HMI system and processed by the following steps for the further analysis. Firstly, characteristic hyperspectral microscopic images were extracted by using principal component analysis (PCA) and then texture features were selected based on the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). Next, features data were reduced dimensionality by fisher discriminant analysis (FDA) for further building classification model. Finally, compared with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) model and support vector machine (SVM) model, good back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) model obtained the best freshness classification with a 100 % accuracy rating based on the extracted data. The results confirm that the fabricated HMI system combined with multivariate algorithms has ability to evaluate the fresh degree of pork accurately in the microscopic level, which plays an important role in animal food quality control.

The purpose of this study was performed as model study using four animals to investigate the correction between the changes in Differential Scanning Calorimetry thermogram of muscle proteins during storage and meat freshness. M. longissimus dorsi of pork was obtained immediately after slaughter and chilled/stored at either $-2^{\circ}C$ or $25^{\circ}C$ for up to 96 h for analyses. DSC thermograms were determined and compared with pH values, ATP-related compounds, K-values, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) levels, bacterial counts and electrophoretic behavior. Changes in pH, bacterial counts, VBN and K-values were associated with increased storage temperature and time. The levels of pH values, bacterial counts, VBN and K-values of pork samples stored at $25^{\circ}C$ were higher than those of the pork samples stored at $-2^{\circ}C$. ATP concentration decreased faster in samples stored at $25^{\circ}C$. Only IMP increased in samples stored at $-2^{\circ}C$, whereas the concentration of hypoxanthine and inosine increased in samples stored at $25^{\circ}C$. One exothermic peak and two endothermic peaks appeared on the thermograms of pork stored at either temperature. Lower transition temperature of myosin, sarcoplasmic protein and actin peaks were observed. The freshness parameters of K-value, VBN and hypoxanthine showed highly negative correlations (-0.742- -0.9980) to the changes in transition temperature. Therefore, the shift temperature on DSC thermogram can be used as an indicator of the freshness parameters of meat.

This study suggest strategies to expand pork exports to Hong Kong through understanding characteristics of its pork market based on results from analysis on surveys on consumers and marketers. The survey results indicate that Hong Kong's consumers consider freshness and sanitation/safety of pork as the most important factors in their purchase. The consumers are found to be very satisfied with Korean pork and have intension to purchase it in the future. The importers suggest that Korean pork should improve its price competitiveness and build up its brand images. Based on results of surveys, this study suggests four strategies, which are systematic disease controls, establishment of its brand image, effective quality and sanitation/safety management and government supports. And, as results from deriving economic effects of 2021 Korean pork export to Hongkong, the production inducement effect is 42.5 billion won and the employment inducement effect is 266 persons.
