This study was performed to provide basic data for the sous vide cook-chill(SVCC) System by comparing and evaluating food quality, according to preparation method and days of storage, of foods that were prepared by SVCC to those prepared using the cook-chill(CC) System. Boiled quail eggs and fish paste in soy sauce were prepared using CC and SVCC and their quality was evaluated at the time of preparation and by days of storage. Viable cell counts were increased to 5.65(CC) and 3.40(SVCC) LogCFU/g by 15 days(p<.0001) and increased more over time in foods prepared with CC than with SVCC. For the CC method, Coliform counts increased to 4.58 LogCFU/g by 15 days(p<.0001). With SVCC, colirorms were not detected at 0 days, but counts reached 3.70 LogCFU/g by 15 days(p<.0001). After reheating, no coliforms were detected for CC or SVCC at 0 days, however, by 15 days, coliform counts reached 3.61 and 2.52 LogCFU/g(p<.0001) for CC and SVCC, respectively. Finally, the sensory scores of SVCC were higher than those of CC.

This study was performed to provide basic data for the operation of a safer cook-chill system by comparing and evaluating the quality of food prepared using the sous vide cook-chill(SVCC) and cook-chill(CC) systems, according to the preparation methods and storage temperature. When the effects of preparation methods and storage temperatures on the physicochemical and microbial qualities were analyzed, the following results were obtained. Firstly, the microbial risk was reduced and the food was raised when danhopark tzeam were prepared with SVCC compared with CC in which changes in pH and Aw and moisture content loss were less than with SVCC. Secondly, the storage period tested in this study was limited to only 10 days, which prevented any significant difference from being seen at 3$^{\circ}$C and 10$^{\circ}$C in the degradation of food quality when SVCC and CC were compared. However, the overall quality and safety as indicated by the physicochemical and microbial qualities at 10$^{\circ}$C were relatively low for and with CC, suggesting that SVCC is a more effective method, probably because vacuum packing eliminates oxygen in the food, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth.

In this study, we evaluated the physicochemical and sensory quality of Glazed Spanish Mackerel in Teriyaki sauce containing added lemon juice and ginger juice using a Sous vide Cook-Chill method. The products were stored at below $3^{\circ}C$ and then its physicochemical and sensory quality was estimated after varous storage periods(0, 5, 10, 15 days). Measured extent of 40.91~52.04% in extent and reheating after of 42.35~54.40% when moisture content and did not significant by storage period in all sample are until save 15 days. The VBN was increased as the storage period increased. A similar trend was observed after reheating, and while lemon juice additions was significantly low on 15 days(p<0.01). Based on the results of the sensory evaluation, the Teriyaki sauces containing the added lemon juice additions were evaluated that had a better sensory quality is excellent in external appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and acceptability than the control group, and while were the evaluated excellently in overall flavor and taste in occasion of were found to be excellent after the addition of ginger juice.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality of Glazed Spanish Mackerel in Teriyaki sauce by adding Lemon juice, using a Sous vide Cook-chill method. The control was prepared by mixing 100 g of cut Spanish Mackerel and 15 mL of Teriyaki sauce. 1.5 mL lemon juice was added to 15 mL of Teriyaki sauce. The product was stored at below $3^{\circ}C$, and its microbiological quality was assessed over varying storage periods (0, 5, 10, 15 days). Total Plate Counts at product flow showed no significant difference between the control and the lemon juice-added sample. However, the coliform counts at the end of mixing each sauce were detected at low levels of 1.65 Log CFU/g in the lemon juice-added sample, as opposed to 2.63 Log CFU/g in the controls (p<0.05). The microbiological quality by storage day was relatively high in the lemon juice-added samples. After reheating, the Total Plate Counts and Coliform counts of the lemon juice-added samples satisfied the standard applied in the processed food (5.0 and 2.0 Log CFU/g, respectively). It can be concluded that the addition of Lemon juice was more effective in ensuring the safety and extending the shelf life of Sous vide Glazed Spanish Mackerel in Teriyaki sauce.

To develop ready-to-eat (RTE) style Korean traditional Galbi-jjim, the optimal conditions for sous-vide cooking and cookchill preparation and the sensory properties of the cooked products were investigated. During heating, the meat core temperatures reached $85^{\circ}C$ within 30 min and 45 min when a water bath and combination oven were used, respectively. Chilling to $3^{\circ}C$ within 45 min was conducted to meet the standards for microbiological safety set by the UK Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) Guideline. Galbi-jjim that was vacuum-cooked in a water bath was much more tender than that of Galbi-jjim prepared using the cook-chill method, but had no difference in any reheating methods. The average sensory scores of juiciness and the overall acceptance of Galbi-jjim were significantly higher when water bath cooking was used, and there were no differences in reheating methods. In conclusion, the serial methods of sous-vide processing and rapid chilling can be applied to produce RTE traditional Galbi-jjim, and this can be conducted while meeting the standards specified in safety guidelines.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the physico-chemical, sensory, and microbiological properties of ready-to-eat Korean traditional seasoned beef ribs ("galbi-jjim") prepared by sous-vide/cookchill technology during storage at three different temperatures (4, 10, and $20^{\circ}C$). Beef short ribs marinated in soy sauce for 24 h at $3^{\circ}C$ were packed with vegetables under vacuum. Vacuum-packed beef ribs mixed with vegetables were heated at $90^{\circ}C$ for 90 min in a water bath, and then immediately chilled below $3^{\circ}C$ within 120 min in an ice slurry. Physicochemical (pH, water activity, TBARS, $L^*a^*b^*$ color, and texture profile), sensory (appearance, odor, flavor, texture, and acceptance) and microbiological (Coliform, Escherichia coli, food-borne pathogenic bacteria) properties of the samples were determined during storage at different temperatures. Results showed that pH, $a_w$, and sensory evaluation of products were not affected in any consistent way as a function of either storage duration or temperature. Coliform, E. coli and food-borne pathogens were not detected during storage at any temperature. However, TBARS significantly increased during storage period (p<0.05). Based on TBARS values, SV/CC "galbi-jjim" can be stored for 15 d, 12 d and 1 d at 4, 10 and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively.
