Eight subprimal cuts purchased from the branded Hanwoo beef of 3 quality grades ($1^{++}$, $1^+$, 1) at 13 stores were evaluated the tenderness using Warner-Bratzler shear (WBS). The beef frequency ratio (%) depending on postmortem aging periods were investigated. The 37.5 (quality grade $1^{++}$), 45.8 (quality grade $1^+$), and 36.4% (quality grade $1^{++}$) of branded beef were aged for < 7 d, 26.6 (quality grade $1^{++}$), 47.2 (quality grade $1^+$) and 36.4% (quality grade 1) were aged for $7{\sim}13$ d, and 31.3 (quality grade $1^+$), 4.2 (quality grade $1^+$) and 25.8% (quality grade $1^+$) were aged for 14 to 20 d. The temperature of cold room in stores was ranged average 2.27 to $2.42^{\circ}C$. WBS values for ansimsal (tenderloin), witdngsimsal (ribeye), cheggtsal (shortloin), doganisal (knuckle) and moongchisatae (hind shank) from branded Hanwoo beef of quality grade $1^{++}$ were tender than those from branded Hanwoo beef of quality grade 1 (p<0.05). WBS values for ansimsal (tenderloin) were 2.56 (quality grade $1^{++}$), 2.76 (quality grade $1^+$) and 3.10 kg (quality grade 1), respectively, and those for doganisal (knuckle, quality grade $1^{++}$), hongdukesal (eye of round, quality grade $1^+$) and bosupsal (top sirloin, quality grade 1) were 4.76, 4.96 and 5.66kg, respectively (p<0.05). The frequency ratio (%) of WBS < 3.9 kg in the all subprimal cuts from branded Hanwoo beef of quality grade $1^{++}$ were 100 [ansimsal (tenderloin) and cheggtsal (shortloin)], 87.5 [witdngsimsal (ribeye)] and 62.5% [bosupsal (top sirloin)], whereas that of WBS > 4.6 kg were 50.0% [hongdukesal (eye of round) and doganisal (knuckle)]. The frequency ratio of WBS < 3.9 kg in the an subprimal cuts of quality grade $1^+$ were 100 [ansimsal (tenderloin) and witdngsimsal (ribeye)] and 44.4% [cheggtsal (shortloin) and gurisal (chuck tender)], whereas that of WBS > 4.6 kg were 66.7 [hongdukesal (eye of round)], 55.6 [doganisal (knuckle)] and 44.4% [bosupsal (top sirloin)]. The frequency ratio (%) of WBS < 3.9 kg in the all subprimal cuts of quality grade 1 were 88.9 [ansimsal (tenderloin)], 62.5 [cheggtsal (shortloin)] and 44.4% [witdngsimsal (ribeye)], whereas that of WBS > 4.6 kg were 100.0 [doganisal (knuckle)] 62.7 [hongdukesal (eye of round)], 62.5 [gurisal (chuck tender)] and 55.6% [moongchisatae (hind shank)]. From these results, subprimal cuts from branded Hanwoo beef were marketed with short aging periods and high frequency ratio (%) of WBS > 4.6 kg.

A grading system is implemented to evaluate the meat quality of Hanwoo. In the grading system, grade 1++A is the highest grade. Livestock farms breed Hanwoo with good quality feed in order to obtain the highest grade. In this process, the content ratios of muscles in individual regions can be changed. To find out the muscle distribution ratios of Hanwoo steers, grade 1A, 1+A, and 1++A Hanwoo steers were compared with grade 1+A Hanwoo female. Grade 1A Hanwoo steers had higher ratios of shank (SK), brisket and flank (BF), neck chain (NC), and inside skirt (IS) meats and a lower ratio of striploin (SL) meat compared to grade 1+A Hanwoo feamle. Grade 1++A Hanwoo steers had higher ratios of neck (NK) and loin (LN) meats and lower ratios of inside skirt (IS), tenderloin (TL), top round (TR), eye round (ER), bottom round (BR), bottom sirloin triangle (BST), and knuckle (K) meats compared to grade 1+A Hanwoo steers. In comparison between grade 1A and 1++A Hanwoo steers, the ratio of shank (SK) was significantly lower in higher quality meats. If the changes are continuously studied to improve the process so that the ratios of partial meats of the regions highly preferred by consumers can increase, it will contribute to increases in the incomes of livestock farms and enable Hanwoo to grow into a global brand.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the color and oxidative stability of beef gluteus medius (GM) from cattle raised in organic and non-organic production systems. Methods: The GM samples (n = 10) were obtained from organic (ORG; n = 5) or nonorganic (NORG; n = 5) beef samples, sliced into 2.54-cm steaks, packaged in aerobic conditions, and stored for nine days at 4℃. ORG and NORG steaks were compared regarding myoglobin concentration, pH, instrumental color, delta E (ΔE), metmyoglobin reducing activity (MRA), and lipid oxidation on days 0, 5, and 9. Results: Feeding system did not influence (p>0.05) the myoglobin concentration. ORG steaks exhibited greater (p<0.05) meat pH, yellowness, and MRA, whereas NORG steaks exhibited greater (p<0.05) redness, chroma, R630/580, delta E, and lipid oxidation. ORG and NORG steaks exhibited similar (p>0.05) lightness and hue angle. During storage, ORG and NORG exhibited an increase in muscle pH, hue angle, and lipid oxidation; and a decrease (p<0.05) in redness, yellowness, chroma, and color stability (R630/580). Both samples exhibited a stable (p>0.05) pattern for lightness and MRA. Conclusion: Therefore, the production system can affect beef color and lipid stability during storage.

This study was conducted to investigate the compositional properties by different cut of Hanwoo steer beef. 10 cuts [Abjin (short plate), Bosup (top sirloin), Cheggt (striploin), Dngsim (Ioin), Guri (chuck tender), Hongduke (eye of round), Moksim (chuck roll), Sulgit (bottom round), Udoon (top round), Yangji (brisket)] were prepared from 10 Hanwoo steers ($24{\sim}28$ mon old) were used for the experiment. Calorie contents were $2,205{\sim}3713.20\;cal/g$ and loin, striploin, short plate were significantly higher than the other cuts (p<0.05). Loin was highest in cholesterol content, whereas top round and eye of round were lowest among 10 cuts (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in soluble and insoluble collagen contents although chuck tender, chuck roll and bottom round contained significantly higher total collagen and loin and striploin contained significantly lower total collagen contents than the other cuts (p<0.05). The result from the analysis of free amino acids showed that glutamate and alanine contents were $275.99{\sim}536.04\;mg/100g$, $130.63{\sim}175.23\;mg/100g$, respectively and followed by arginine ($7.00{\sim}10.49\;mg/100g$), phenylalanine ($4.70{\sim}13.88\;mg/100g$), and leucine ($5.98{\sim}10.26\;mg/100g$) in 10 cuts. $1^{++}$ grade Hanwoo steer beef had significantly higher IMP (Inosine monophosphate) and inosine in eye of round (30.04% and 6.25%) and top round (33.44% and 6.28%), while hypoxanthine contents were significantly higher in chuck tender than the other cuts (p<0.05). In fatty acid analysis, there were not significantly differences in fatty acid composition among 10 cuts only except for C16:1n7, C20:3n6, and C20:4n6 (p>0.05).

This study was conducted to investigate the meat quality and sensory properties of 12 major cuts from 10 Hanwoo bulls (25-32 mon of age) after they were aged at 2℃ for 0, 7, 14, and 21 d. Protein content (%) was between 19.17 and 22.50%. Intramuscular fat content ranged from 2.79 to 8.39%. The collagen content of the chuck roll, chuck tender, and short plate muscles was higher (1.97-2.04%) than that of the striploin muscles (1.48%) (p<0.05). CIE lightness (L*) values increased with an increase in aging days for tenderloin, loin, chuck roll, oyster blade, short plate, top sirloin, and eye of round muscles (p<0.05). Most muscles, except the short plate, showed no significant changes in redness CIE (a*) and yellowness (b*) color values during aging. The tenderloin, loin, and striploin showed significantly higher water holding capacity (58.60-62.06%) than that of chuck roll and short plate (53.86-57.07%) muscles (p<0.05). The Warner-Bratzler shear force values of most muscles decreased significantly as the aging period increased (p<0.05), exception the tenderloin. The chuck tender muscles showed the highest cooking loss, whereas tenderloin muscle showed the lowest (p<0.05). The tenderloin muscle had the longest sarcomere length (SL) (3.67-3.86 μm) and the bottom round muscle had the shortest SL (2.21-2.35 μm) (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, tenderness and overall-likeness scores of most muscles increased with increase in aging days. The tenderloin and oyster blade showed relatively higher tenderness and overall-likeness values than did the other muscles during the aging period. No significant differences were noted in juiciness and flavor-likeness scores among muscles and aging days.

This paper examines the dining tendencies of Koreans toward meat dishes and their related factors, with 301 people residing in Korea as subjects. We questioned this population on their restaurant choices, eating habits, preferences and a dislike with respect to method of cooking. All age groups, with the exception of 50~60 year-olds, were found to consume meat dishes in specialized restaurants. The selection factor for restaurants varied, depending on the age group: affordable cost was the most important factor for whom under 20 year-old. Whereas 20-40 year-old people considered taste and ambience the most for choosing restaurant. The 50-60 year-old people found to seek for convenient restaurant. In terms of the most preferred parts of beef, 20-30 year-old people preferred tenderloin (42.3%) while 40-60 year-old people preferred sirloin (45.6% and 41.2% each). All the other age groups preferred ribs the most (It was also found that) men preferred the rib parts and women preferred tenderloin. With respect to pork, all age groups preferred pork belly, with the highest response rate in the under 20 age group. When consuming meat dishes, 91.0% of respondents pointed to roasting as the most frequent preparation method, the reason being good taste was deemed the highest number of responses. In a survey on preference for stewed meats, 74.8% of the sample pool was found to prefer stew dishes but 24.9% of respondents provided negative answers, the reason for dislike was found to be poor taste for women, and both a long preparation time and poor taste for men. In fact, regardless of marital status, a high number of responses were given for poor taste as the reason for disliking stew dishes. Based on the examined factors for inconveniences in preparing meat dishes, the most common inconvenience factor was the odor of meat left on clothes after the dining experience, followed by the smoke generated in roasting meat, and the safety risk involved with changing the grill. In terms of stir fry preparation, the negative thoughts were due to the splashing of food and spices while cooking, followed by the meat odor left on clothes after dining experience, and the sanitation level of the cooking containers. For deep frying the sanitation level of cooking containers was the biggest reason for dislike, followed by splashing of food when preparing. Lastly, it was indicated that the problem of steaming method was a difficulty of judging the portion, on the top of this, people found that the sanitation level of cooking container and a long preparation time were also the problem of this cooking method.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the socio-demographic factors and the Korean consumers' palatability evaluation and to collect the sensory information for development of prediction palatability model of Hanwoo beef. Ten cuts [Abjin (short plate), Bosup (top sirloin), Cheggt (striploin), Dngsim (loin), Guri (chuck tender), Hongduke (eye of round), Moksim (chuck roll), Sulgit (bottom round), Udoon (top round), Yangji (brisket)] were separated from 5 Hanwoo steer beef (28-30 months old) and prepared with the same manner for 3 different cooking methods such as boiling, grilling, and roasting. The cooked beef samples were served to 650 consumers recruited from Seoul, Joongbu, Honam and Youngnam locations and evaluated as tenderness, juiciness, flavor, and overall acceptability. The consumer living location, age, gender, occupation, monthly income, and cut were significantly related with the scores of sensory properties when steer beef were cooked as boiling cooking (p<0.05). The eating habit and aging of beef were also significantly related with the tenderness and overall acceptability scores (p<0.01) when beef were cooked as boiled. In grill cooking, living location, aging, and cut had the significant effect on the sensory properties of Hanwoo steer beef (p<0.01). When steer beef were prepared by Korean traditional roast cooking, consumer's sensory scores were significantly different by the living location, age, occupation, monthly income, eating habit of consumers, aging and beef cut (p<0.001). Also, results from the principal component analysis showed that palatability scores of Korean consumers were decided with different contribution rate of tenderness, juiciness, flavor and overall acceptability for beef cut depending on cooking methods. In conclusion, Korean consumers' palatability for Hanwoo steer beef were related to the socio-demographic factors and the sensory scores were different by cut and cooking methods.

This study was conducted to investigate the compositions of different cuts of Hanwoo bull beef. 10 cuts [Abjin (short plate), Bosup (top sirloin), Cheggt (striploin), Dngsim (loin), Guri (chuck tender), Hongduke (eye of round), Moksim (chuck roll), Sulgit (bottom round), Udoon (top round), Yangi(brisket)] were prepared from 10 Hanwoo bulls (-24 month old) slaughtered during 3 consecutive days. There were no significant differences in the calorie contents among the 10 cuts (p<0.05). In cholesterol content, Hongduke was significantly lower (26.74 mg/100 g) and Abjin was significantly higher (31.08 mg/100 g) than the other cuts (p<0.05). Free amino acid analysis revealed that there were high contents of glutamate (94.33-216.36 mg/100 g) and alanine (154.88-200.31 mg/100 g), followed by arginine, phenylalanine and lysine in the 10 cuts. In addition, Abjin, Bosup, Cheggt, Hongduke, Sulgit and Udoon had significantly higher inosine monophosphate (IMP) contents than Dngsim or Moksim (p<0.05). Inosine contents were highest in Bosup and Sulgit, whereas hypoxanthine contents were highest in Guri (p<0.05). Total collagen contents were significantly higher in Abjin followed by Yangi, Guri and Moksim (p<0.05). With regard to fatty acid composition, Dngsim had significantly higher $C_{18:0}$ than the other cuts, and Udoon had significantly higher $C_{20:4n6}$ than the other cuts (p<0.05). Total contents of saturated fatty acids (SFA) were significantly higher in Abjin, Dngsim and Yangi, whereas total contents of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) were significantly higher in Hongduke than the other cuts (p<0.05).
