Objective: The aim of this study was to select the candidate genes affecting meat quality and preliminarily explore the related molecular mechanisms in the Mashen pig. Methods: The present study explored genetic factors affecting meat quality in the Mashen pig using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). We sequenced the transcriptomes of 180-day-old Mashen and Large White pigs using longissimus dorsi to select differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Results: The results indicated that a total of 425 genes were differentially expressed between Mashen and Large White pigs. A gene ontology enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were mainly enriched for biological processes associated with metabolism and muscle development, while a Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes analysis showed that DEGs mainly participated in signaling pathways associated with amino acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and skeletal muscle differentiation. A MCODE analysis of the protein-protein interaction network indicated that the four identified subsets of genes were mainly associated with translational initiation, skeletal muscle differentiation, amino acid metabolism, and oxidative phosphorylation pathways. Conclusion: Based on the analysis results, we selected glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 1, malate dehydrogenase 1, pyruvate dehydrogenase 1, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4, and activator protein-1 as candidate genes affecting meat quality in pigs. A discussion of the related molecular mechanisms is provided to offer a theoretical basis for future studies on the improvement of meat quality in pigs.

Barley has been used for the production of malt in the brewing industry. Malting is the process of preparing barley through partial germination. Malt extract is the most important quality parameter for malt quality. The grain and malt quality parameters of ten Korean malting barley varieties were studied. Malts was prepared using Phoeix automated micro malting system(Phoenix Bio, Australia). Quality analysis of Barley and malt was determined according to European brewery convention(EBC, 1998) and American society of brewing chemists(ASBC, 1997) method. And the hordeins of barley and malt were extracted with 50% isopropyl alcohol(IPA, 2-propanol) of 1% dithiothreitol(DTT). The analysis of hordeins was carried out by ultra-performance liquid chromatography(UPLC). The mean values of 1000-grains weight, assortment rate, protein content, starch content, beta-glucan content, husk rate, germination energy, germination capacity and water sensitivity of grain were 45.8g, 86.8%, 11.9%, 58.0%, 3.8%, 14.0%, 96.2%, 97.2%, 10.0%, respectively. The mean values of protein content, friability, diastatic power, extract, soluble protein, Kolbach index, beta-glucan of malt and wort were 11.3%, 87.6%, 201WK(Windish Kolbach), 79.3%, 4.6%, 41%, 85mg/L, respectively. UPLC analysis of grain and malt hordeins revealed that the amount of hordeins significantly degraded during malting. Also, we could successfully be used to compare hordein polypeptide patterns with malt quality.

To investigate the relationship of wheat single kernel characteristics with end-use properties, 183 soft wheat cultivars and lines were evaluated for milling quality characteristics (kernel hardness, kernel and flour protein, flour ash), and end-use properties (i.e., as ingredients in sugar-snap cookies, sponge cake). Significant positive correlations occurred among wheat hardness parameters including near-infrared reflectance (NIR) score and single kernel characterization system (SKCS). The SKCS characteristics were also significantly correlated with conventional wheat quality parameters such as kernel size, wheat protein content, and straight-grade flour yield. The cookie diameter and cake volume were negatively correlated with NIR and SKCS hardness, and there was an inverse relationship between flour protein contents and kernel weights or sizes. Sugar-snap cookie diameter was positively correlated with sponge cake volume.

두부 제조공정 중의 부산물인 비지의 효율적인 이용을 위하여, 원료 대두 중량의 10%에 해당하는 건조비지를 첨가시킨 두부를 제조하여 이의 영양적 품질을 검토하였다. 일반성분은 수분의 경우 건조비지 첨가 두부가 80.6%, 일반 두부가 77.5%로써 비지 첨가 두부가 다소 높았으며 단백질의 함량은 건조비지 첨가 두부와 일반 두부 각각 38.5%, 45.8%였으며, 지질의 함량은 각각 34.3%, 26.9%로써, 단백질과 지질 함량이 낮은 건조비지 첨가로 인해 일반 두부에 비해 건조비지 첨가두부가 낮은 함량을 보였다. Trypsin inhibitor (TI) 함량은 비지의 경우 잔존량이 6.9 (mg/g시료)정도였고, 건조비지의 경우에도 거의 비슷하였다. 건조비지 첨가두부에는 원료 대두에 있었던 TI의 12% 정도만 남아있었다. 단백질의 효소소화율 (enzyme digestibility)은 비지, 건조비지 각각 87%, 86% 정도로 높았고 건조비지 첨가 두부도 일반 두부와 거의 동일한 91% 정도였다. 효소소화율은 TI함량이 저하함에 따라 역상관관계를 가지면서 상승하였다. 구성 아미노산 조성은 일반 두부와 건조비지 첨가 두부는 거의 차이가 없었으며, 총아미노산에 대한 필수 아미노산의 비율은 일반 두부가 40.4%, 비지첨가 두부가 40.6%였으며, lysine 함량이 높은 건조비지로 인하여 건조비지 첨가 두부는 lysine의 보충 효과가 있었다. 단백품질을 Computed Protein Efficiency Ratio (C-PER)로 계산할 때 일반 두부는 1.95, 비지 첨가 두부는 1.4였으나 Discriminant Computed Protein Efficiency Ratio (DC-PER)로 계산할 때는 오히려 비지 첨가 두부경우가 높았다. 여러 연구자들의 대두가공품에 대한 생체실험 결과와 비교할 때 일반 두부를 제외하고는 두유, 비지 및 비지첨가두부의 영양평가는 DC-PER 방법이 유리한 것으로 생각되었다.

The effect of using Korean wheat flour versus Australian wheat flour on noodle quality as a result of differing physical and chemical properties of the flours was investigated. The results provided appropriate technical information for selection of wheat varieties to produce high quality Korean salted noodles. Noodle quality was quantified based on measurement of the appearance and texture of noodles. When consumer preference tests were conducted, a firmer and more elastic texture was preferred for Korean white salted noodles, however, when appearance was included in the consumer tests, noodles made with Australian wheat were favored over Korean wheats. Korean flour was found to produce firmer and more elastic noodles, whereas Australian flour produced brighter, creamier colored noodles. In flour quality tests, Korean flours were found to have a higher setback viscosity and lower swelling power than Australian flour. Additionally, Korean flours had higher water absorption values. Protein content of flour was an important parameter affecting the firmness of Korean noodles, whereas setback viscosity and swelling power were the major determinants of elasticity. Overall, the important parameters for determination of the quality of Korean salted noodles were high setback viscosity, low swelling power, and high protein content.

풍미향상과 고온 열처리로 인한 단백질 품질저하를 완화시킬 목적으로 세가지의 향신 채소 (마늘, 생강, 양파)를 첨가하여 $110^{\circ}C$에서 5시간동안 조리한 어육 고음추출물의 단백질의 품질을 평가하였다. 향신채소를 첨가한 붕어 어육가수분해물의 유효성 Iysine은 생육의 유효성 Iysine과 거의 같은 수준을 유지하였으며, 광어의 경우는 $66\~84\%$ 정도 유지되었다. 친유성 갈변물질 발생정도는 원료어육에 비해 붕어의 경우는 오히려 낮고, 광어는 높은 것으로 나타나 이런 종류의 갈변물질은 제거된 지방량에 따라 달라질 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. TI생성은 원료어육과 별차이가 없고, 소화율은 원료어육보다 $4\~5\%$ 낮으나 대체로 고온 고음추출물에 비해 $3\~4\%$ 높게 나타나 단백질 품질 저하가 훨씬 완화된 결과를 보였다. 원료어육의 유리 아미노산의 총량이 $2,000mg\%$ (광어), $2,240mg\%$ (붕어) 정도였던 반면, 향신채소를 첨가한 고음추출물에는 $3,800mg\%$ (광어), $3,700mg\%$ (붕어) 정도의 유리아미노산이 함유되어 있었다. 붕어 고음추출물의 주요 유리아미노산은 histidine, taurine, glycine 및 alanine 이었으며, 광어의 경우는 taurine, alanine 및 asparagine이었다. 향신채소 첨가 어육 고음추출물 중 비교적 품질이 우수하다고 판단 된 생강첨가 추출물을 이용한 in vivo 단백질 품질 평가를 한 결과 in vivo 단백질 소화율은 표준단백질인 ANRC casein보다 $6\~7\%$낮았으나 고온 고압 처리 고음추출물보다 붕어의 경우 약 $10\%$이상 소화율이 높아졌다. Rat-PER은 약간 상승하였지만 실험 전기간 동안 실험동물의 체중증가는 거의 발생하지 않았고, 다만 고온 처리 시료에서 발생하였던 탈모현상은 볼 수 없었으며 분변의 상태도 약간 호전되었다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the nutrient intake and diet quality of postmenopausal osteoporotic women to those of control subjects, and to investigate the relationship among diet quality and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. In this study, we classified the subjects into the postmenopausal osteoporotic women (n =38) and control (n = 43) according to their lumbar spine bone mineral density and age. Dietary intakes, anthropometric measurements and dietary quality indices were measured and evaluated. The average age of osteoporotic and control group were 60.4 yrs and 58.3 yrs, respectively and there was no significant difference. Body weight, body mass index of osteoporotic group were significantly lower than those of control group. The average energy intake of osteoporotic and control group were 1243.3 kcal and 1475.8 kcal, respectively and there was a significant difference. The osteoporotic group consumed significantly lower quantities of protein, plant protein, vitamin A, vitamin $B_1,\;vitamin\;B_2$, folate, vitamin C, calcium, animal calcium, plant calcium, iron and zinc compared to the control group. The osteoporotic group consumed significantly lower of food, vegetables, mushrooms, fruits intakes compared to the control group. In the diet quality, protein, vitamin A, vitamin $B_1,\;vitamin\;B_2$, folate, vitamin C, calcium, iron, Zinc nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) of osteoporotic group were significantly lower than that of control group. Mean adequacy ratio (MAR) of osteoporotic and control group were 0.63 and 0.78, respectively and there was significant difference. To evaluate nutrient density, Index of nutritional quality (INQ) was calculated by dividing nutrient content per 1,000 kcal of diet with RDA per 1,000 kcal. The average dietary variety score (DVS) of osteoporotic and control group were 22.4 and 33.2, respectively and there was significant difference. DVSs of pulses (p<0.01), seeds (p<0.01) and vegetables (p<0.05) in osteoporotic group were significantly lower than those of the control. In conclusion, postmenopausal osteoporotic women had lower protein, vitamin A, folate, vitamin C, calcium, iron zinc intake quality and vegetables, mushrooms, fruits DVSs than those of the control. Therefore, to promote skeletal health enough energy and food should be consumed, and the maintenance of vitamin and mineral balance by increasing of vitamin A, folate, vitamin C, calcium, iron of intakes are very important.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding fresh cassava roots on the performance and carcass quality of pigs raised from $15{\pm}1kg$ to 85 kg live weight. Fresh unpeeled cassava roots were chopped into chips and offered separately along with a protein concentrate made up of copra cake and meat and bone meal, and a local mineral-vitamin premix. Commercial pig grower and finisher diets served as control. A total of 24 pigs were used in an incomplete randomized split-plot design experiment. Pigs fed fresh cassava-based diet grew as fast, 0.78 vs 0.77 kg/day, and were as efficient, 3.74 vs 3.77 in converting feed into body weight gain as those fed the commercial control diet. Similarly, there were no differences in carcass quality measured in terms of dressing percentage, 77 vs 77; backfat thickness, 2.76 vs 2.78 cm; loin eye muscle area, 29.2 vs $29.1cm^2$ and in the relative proportions of the different carcass cuts between the two dietary treatments. The use of fresh cassava along with the protein and the local mineral-vitamin premix however, resulted in lowered total feed cost and cost per unit of live weight gain. It is concluded that fresh cassava roots can be fed along with copra cake, meat and bone meal protein concentrate and a local mineral-vitamin premix to fattening pigs with no adverse affects on performance and carcass quality.
