In order to assess the possibility in utilizing the rice soybean paste(rice Doenjang) powder as food processing materials, the quality of pork cutlet sauce added with 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7%(w/w) of rice soybean paste powder was investigated. Viscosity of pork cutlet sauce ranged from 584 to 776 cP as soybean paste powder amounts increased. Lightness, redness and yellowness of pork cutlet sauce decreased with increasing rice soybean paste powder. Approximate composition of pork cutlet sauces containing rice soybean powder was $62.1\sim73.0%$ of moisture, $3.2\sim7.6%$ of crude protein $0.2\sim0.5%$ of crude fat $1.5\sim2.3%$ of crude fiber and $9.9\sim12.2%$ of crude ash. In sensory evaluation, the pork cutlet sauces added with 1% and 3% soybean paste powder showed more acceptable scores than market sauce.

Effects of dietary 0.6% activated carbon on pork quality were investigated with six pigs (Landrace ${\times}$ Large White ${\times}$ Duroc) that were randomly selected from uterine brothers. Three pigs, for control group, were fed with a commercial pig diet for 4 weeks before slaughter whereas the others were fed a diet added 0.6 % activated carbon for treatment group. Pork loin and belly cuts were collected at 24 hrs postmortem, and transfered to laboratory to measure quality characteristics. There were no significant differences in muscle pH and cooking loss % of pork loin and belly. Also there were no significant differences in adhesiveness, cohesiveness, gummness and brittleness between thed treatment and control. However, hardness and springiness of samples from the treatment were significantly higher (p<0.05) than those of control. There were no significant differences in scores of aroma, color and off-flavor assessed by a penal test. Treatment group showed a significantly higher acceptability (p<0.05) compared to the control group. Samples of the treatment had higher concentrations of oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid, wheres samples of control showed a higher concentration of palmitic acid (p<0.05). Belly cuts of control group showed a significantly higher concentration of stearic acid compared to the treatment group. These results suggested that hardness, springiness and acceptability of pork could be improved, and concentration of unsaturated fat acid in pork muscle might be increased by dietary 0.6 % activated carbon.

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.

In this study, the physicochemical and sensory quality characteristics due to the influence of various thawing methods on electro-magnetic and air blast frozen pork were examined. The packaged pork samples, which were frozen by air blast freezing at $-45^{\circ}C$ or electro-magnetic freezing at $-55^{\circ}C$, were thawed using 4 different methods: refrigeration ($4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$), room temperature (RT, $25^{\circ}C$), cold water ($15^{\circ}C$), and microwave (2450 MHz). Analyses were carried out to determine the drip and cooking loss, water holding capacity (WHC), moisture content and sensory evaluation. Frozen pork thawed in a microwave indicated relatively less thawing loss (0.63-1.24%) than the other thawing methods (0.68-1.38%). The cooking loss after electro-magnetic freezing indicated 37.4% by microwave thawing, compared with 32.9% by refrigeration, 36.5% by RT, and 37.2% by cold water in ham. The thawing of samples frozen by electro-magnetic freezing showed no significant differences between the methods used, while the moisture content was higher in belly thawed by microwave (62.0%) after electro-magnetic freezing than refrigeration (54.8%), RT (61.3%), and cold water (61.1%). The highest overall acceptability was shown for microwave thawing after electro-magnetic freezing but there were no significant differences compared to that of the other samples.

In this study, the effects of kimchi powder on the quality properties of an emulsion type sausage made with irradiated pork meat were investigated. Raw ground pork ham was gamma-irradiated at 5 and 10 kGy, and the emulsion type sausage was then manufactured with the irradiated pork meat. The pH value was shown to increase by irradiation of raw material (p<0.05). Samples containing kimchi powder had a lower pH value than other treatments, but no significant differences were observed. In a sensory evaluation, the scores of all the criteria were decreased with an increased irradiation dose of raw material, but samples containing kimchi powder had a higher sensory score than other treatments in all irradiation doses of raw material. The TBARS values were increased by irradiation of raw material and the samples containing kimchi powder had the highest value (p<0.05). Odor substances analyzed by an electronic nose were increased with increased irradiation dose of raw material in all treatments, and samples containing kimchi powder showed a higher increase of odor substances than other treatments. Thus, this study demonstrated that kimchi powder was effective in eliminating the off-odor and flavor of sausages made with irradiated pork meat despite the increase of the TBARS value.

This study was performed to determine the meat quality characteristics of pork loin and belly from 3 different three-way crossbred pigs: Yorkshire ${\times}$ Landrace ${\times}$ Duroc (YLD), Yorkshire ${\times}$ Chester White ${\times}$ Yorkshire (YCY), and Yorkshire ${\times}$ Berkshire ${\times}$ Duroc (YBD). Each of the twenty crossed pigs were randomly selected with their live weights at the range of 110-120 kg. After being slaughtered and cooled at $0^{\circ}C$ for 24 h in a chilling room, the parts of loin and belly on the left side of the cooled carcasses were cut and prepared for analysis. The intramuscular fat contents of the loins from YLD were higher than those of the other crossbreds (p<0.05), and the YCY bellies had the highest moisture contents (p<0.05). Water holding capacity (WHC) of the loins from YCY were higher than the other crossbreds (p<0.05). Shear force values of the YBD loins were higher than the others (p<0.05). The TBARS values of YCY loins were significantly lower than the others at 0 d, but the difference disappeared after 14 d of storage. Sensory scores of YLD were ranked higher than the YCY or YBD in both the loins and bellies (p<0.05). The relatively high sensory values of YLD crossbred pork could be explained by the better WHC, the low shear forces, and the higher fat contents. The results indicated that the meat qualities could be altered by three-way crossbreeding.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of gender on meat quality traits and sensory characteristics of pork loin. A total of 90 pork carcasses (180 days old, 45 barrows and 45 gilts, each gender group was consisted of fifteen 1+, 1 and 2 carcass grades) were selected and loin cuts were excised to investigate meat quality, electronic tongue measures and sensory panel test. There were significant differences in drip loss (1.66% vs 1.21%), released water (12.19% vs 10.68%) and cooking loss (23.67% vs 21.04%) between loins from barrow and gilt (p<0.05). However, no significant differences in meat color (CIE L^* a^* b^*) and shear force were observed between gender groups (p>0.05). Umami and richness values of barrow were significantly higher than those of gilt, while barrow had significantly lower sourness value compared to gilt(p<0.05). On the sensory evaluation, barrow scored higher in flavor, juiciness and tenderness both, and as a result, barrow (5.51 points) also scored significantly higher than gilt (4.86 points). These results suggest that the umami intensity and sensory taste of barrow loin are superior to gilt loin due to its high water-holding capacity.

A study was conducted to evaluate nutritional value for twenty-one pork muscles. Ten market-weight crossbred pigs (five gilts and five barrows) were used for evaluating proximate chemical composition, cholesterol, total iron, calorie and fatty acid contents. As preliminary analysis revealed no noticeable sex effect, pooled data from both sexes were used for the final analysis. M. rectus femoris had the highest moisture content, while m. latissimus dorsi was lowest in moisture content (p<0.05). Protein content was highest for m. longissimus dorsi and lowest for m. supraspinatus (p<0.05). The tensor fasciae and latissimus dorsi muscles contained the highest intramuscular fat (p<0.05), while rectus femoris, adductor and vastus lateralis were lowest in intramuscular fat content. When simple correlations between chemical values were computed for the pooled dataset from all muscles, intramuscular fat had significant (p<0.05) negative linear relationships with moisture (r = -0.85) and protein (r = -0.51) contents. Calorie levels were not significantly affected by fat content, while rectus femoris and latissimus dorsi muscles showed lowest and highest calorie contents, respectively (p<0.05). Polyunsaturated fatty acid content was highest (p<0.05) for both m. adductor and m. rectus femoris, while it was lowest for m. longissimus dorsi. Collectively, the current study identified a large amount of variation in nutritional characteristics between pork muscles, and the data can be used for the development of muscle-specific strategies to improve eating quality of meats and meat products.

This experiment was carried out to investigate characteristics of pork quality according to various producing district. The results of whole component analysis of pork according to diverse producing district were showed high level of fat content in Jeju island-belly and shoulder loin than other pork samples. And saturated fatty acid contents of Jeju island-belly and shoulder loin of pork were showed 46.6 and 41.6%, respectively, and unsaturated fatty acid contents of Jeju island-belly and shoulder loin of pork were showed 50.3 and 58.4%, respectively. Chungbuk-pork was relatively showed high level of cholesterol content than other pork samples. On the other hand, cholesterol contents of Jeju island-belly and shoulder loin of pork were showed 565.6 and 507.6 ${\mu}g/g$, respectively. Skatole contents of Jeju island-belly and shoulder loin of pork were showed low level(0.013 and 0.065 ${\mu}g/g$) than other pork samples. This results mean that Jeju island-belly and shoulder loin of pork have less order than other pork samples. The chewiness of texture that consumers feel the biggest difference in palatability of meat showed significantly high level(376.5 g) in Jeju island-belly of pork(p<0.05). This result represent that Jeju island-belly of pork have the best sense of the texture than other pork samples. $L^*$(lightness) value of ground pork was generally showed high value in belly than shoulder-loin of pork. However, $a^*$(redness) value of ground pork showed high value in shoulder-loin than belly of pork. And there was no significant difference in $b^*$(yellowness) value among the samples(p>0.05). The results of sensory test(taste, flavor, texture and palatability) from pork according to various producing district showed good flavor and palatability in Jeju island-belly of pork but there was no significant difference among the samples(p>0.05).
