This study collected basic data on two types of canned roasted oyster Crassostrea gigas. Oysters Crassostrea gigas were immersed at $105^{\circ}C$ for 6 min and then washed and dehydrated before pre-drying. Roasted oysters were prepared by baking boiled oysters at $140^{\circ}C$ for 20 min. The canned roasted oyster added with tomato sauce was prepared as follows. An aluminum can was filled with 50 g of roasted oyster and 40 g of mixed seasoning sauce, degassed at $90^{\circ}C$ for 3 min and vacuum-sealed using a double seamer under a 20 cmHg vacuum. The canned roasted oyster added with tomato paste sauce was prepared similarly by adding the same amount of tomato paste sauce instead of tomato sauce. Microbial growth, appearance, proximate composition, pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, amino-N, salinity, color value, texture, free and total amino acids, and minerals were measured in the two products. A sensory evaluation indicated that the canned roasted oyster added with tomato paste sauce had preferable characteristics over the canned roasted oyster sauce added with tomato sauce.

In order to establish the frozen storage method of pork and contribute to the stabilization of pork price physicochemical changes and sensory evaluation of pork, stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ up to the period of 12 months, were analyzed every three months. The drip loss of frozen meat cuts was below 1% regardless of storage months. In the course of storage, pH of frozen half carcass rose a little, while that of meat cuts remained almost the same. WHC(water holding capacity) of frozen half carcass and meat cuts was in the range of $50{\sim}60\;and\;55{\sim}62%,$ respectively and VBN (volatile basic nitrogen) was about $11{\sim}18mg%,$ all of which did considerably change during the storage. TBA(thiobarbituric acid) value was not increased up to the 6th month of storage, but represented a considerable increase after the 9th month of storage, Both tenderness and juiciness of frozen pork were decreased after the 12th month of storage but the axxrptability of frozen pork to the consumers turned out fairly good.

This study was carried out to investigate the chemical and microbiological properties of Kimchi containing different amounts of squid and octopus during fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$ for 56 days. Kimchi were assigned to one the of the following 7 treatment groups: CK (control Kimchi; no addition), SK-5 (added 5% of squid), SK-10 (added 10% of squid), SK-20 (added 20% of squid), OK-5 (added 5% of octopus), OK-10 (added 10% of octopus), and OK-20 (added 20% of octopus). The quality characteristics of CK and other treatments were determined by measuring the pH, titratable acidity, reducing sugar, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and microbial analysis. During fermentation, Kimchi containing squid and octopus had higher pH and lower acidity values than the CK group (P<0.05). The titratable acidity was increased in all treatment groups, whereas the reducing sugar content decreased gradually during fermentation. The reducing sugar contents were highest in the CK group. The VBN value increased in all treatment groups with increasing storage period, and the CK group had lower VBN value than the other treatment groups containing squid and octopus. The numbers of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria rapidly increased up to the second week, and this slowly increased thereafter.

The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary chitosan-alginate-Fe(II) complex (CAFC) supplementation on carcass and meat qualities of pig m. longissimus during chiller ageing. One hundred and twenty-two LYD (Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire${\times}$Duroc) pigs were sampled from an industrial population. Seventy-four pigs (32 gilts and 42 barrows) were administered 3 ml of dietary supplementation of CAFC per day from 25 to 70 days of age, while the remaining 48 pigs (20 gilts and 28 barrows) were fed the same commercial feeding regime without the supplementation. For assessing the dietary effects on pH, objective meat color, cooking loss, water-holding capacity (WHC), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and fatty acid composition during ageing, 20 barrows (10 of each treatment) were randomly sampled, and aged for 3, 7, 12, 16, 20 and 25 days in a $1^{\circ}C$ chiller. The results showed that CAFC-fed pigs required approximately 10 fewer feeding days than the control group. Furthermore, the treatment resulted in greatly higher carcass grade whereby the grade A was increased by approximately 35% and 7% for gilts and barrows, respectively. The treatment had no significant effect (p>0.05) on pH, meat color and WHC during ageing. On the other hand, the CAFC-fed pigs showed significantly (p<0.05) lower TBARS values from 20 days of storage. In addition, the sum of unsaturated fatty acids for the treated group was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that for the control group after the storage time. This implied that CAFC supplementation could reduce the formation of free radicals in fatty acids (i.e., lipid oxidation). The treatment also significantly (p<0.05) retarded VBN formation during ageing, indicating a significant reduction in protein degradation. However, as there was no difference in pH between the two groups, the result raised a possibility that antibacterial activity of the CAFC alone could cause reduction in the formation of TBARS and VBN. In this regard, although the treatment effectively slowed down the formation of TBARS and TBA during chiller ageing, it was not resolved whether that was associated with the direct effect of the antioxidant function of chitosan and/or alginate, or a consequence of their antibacterial functions.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of addition mugwort podwer and carcass grade on the shelf life of pork ham. Pork ham was prepared by four type such as grade B pork ham ( $B_{o}$ ), grade B pork ham containing mugwort powder ( $B_{+}$), grade E pork ham ( $E_{o}$ ) and grade E pork ham containing mugwort powder ( $E_{+}$). The surface color, pH, residual nitrite, VBN (volatile basic nitrogen), TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and total bacterial counts of the samples were determined during storage for 8 weeks at 4$^{\circ}C$. The $L^{*}$ value of $B_{o}$ and $B_{+}$ ham showed higher at the latter period of 8 weeks, that of $E_{o}$ ham was the highest on at the storage of 2nd week and that of $E_{+}$ ham was not different during 8 weeks storage. The $L^{*}$ value of B grade ham was higher than that of E grade ham and the $a^{*}$ value of E grade ham was higher than that of B grade ham. The pH of all ham decreased during storage, but increased from 8 weeks. The residual nitrite of all ham highly decreased until storage for 2 weeks, the addition of mugwort powder was affected in the reduction of residual nitrite of pork ham. The VBN contents were 6.90∼7.90 mg% in the early period of storage, was 14.07∼14.83 mg% on the storage of 8th week. The TBARS of pork ham were increased gradually during storage and pork ham containing mugwort powder showed lower value than pork ham non added mugwort powder during 4th and 6th weeks storage. The total bacterial counts of pork ham were increased gradually during storage and the addition of mugwort powder was not effective.ive.ctive.ive.

The purpose of our study is to investigate the changes of physico-chemical properties according to packaging methods(vacuum packaged with polyamide/polyethylene, air packaged with polyvynyl-chloride) and illumination on the properties of Hanwoo beef. pH value in vacuum packaged beef tended to be decreased, but pH value in air packaged beef tended to be increased during storage for 21 days, irrespective of illumination. Contents of volatile basic nitrogen(VBN) and thiobarbituric acid(TBA) values were increased, regardless of packaging methods. However, vacuum packaged beef showed lower VBN, TBA values than those of air packaged beef. Red color(CIE a value) was also decreased. Regardless of packaging method, saturated fatty acids(SFAs) were increased, but unsaturated fatty acids(UFAs) were relatively decreased. And in the ratio of the UFA/SFA, vacuum packaged beef had lower UFA/SFA ratio than that of air packaged beef. In this study, the effect of illumination did not change on physico-chemical properties in Hanwoo beef. In conclusion, the results indicate that the vacuum packaging treatment was more important to prolong the shelf-life of Hanwoo beef than air packaging method.

This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of beef loin following microwave treatment at $4^{\circ}C$. Two types of microwave treatment were applied. i.e., continued microwave treatment (CW) and holding microwave treatment (HW). The L value increased, while a and b values were not significantly different among the samples as the storage time and microwave dose increased. The initial pH and after 3 days ranged from 5.51-5.74 and 6.32-6.51, respectively (p<0.05). The thiobarbituric acid value of all beef loins increased with increasing storage period and decreased with increasing microwave dose. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content of the control was higher than that of the other samples and the VBN content decreased with increasing microwave dose. The total plate count of beef loins decreased with increasing microwave dose. This result indicated that T2 (100 W, HW) is most effective treatment with regard to the safety of beef loins without decreasing the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of mugwort podwer and carcass grade on the shelf-life of pork patty. Pork patty was prepared by four types such as grade B pcrk patty without mugwort powder (A patty), grade B pork patty with mugwort podwer (B patty), grade I pork patty without mugwort powder (C patty) and grade E pork patty with mugwort powder (D patty) and the residual nitrite, surface color, pH, VBN (volatile basic nitrogen), TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and total bacterial counts of the sample were determined during storage at 4$^{\circ}C$. The residual nitrite of pork patties with mugwort powder was highly decreased until storage for 2 weeks, pork patties without mugwort powder highly decreased until storage for 4 weeks, therefore addition of mugwort powder reduced residual nitrite of pork patty. The L＊ value of pork patty was the highest at early stage of storage, pork patties with mugwort powder were lower than that of pork patties without mugwort powder, and grade B pork patties were higher than that of the grade I pork patties. The a value of grade I pork patties were higher than that of grade B pork patties, and changes during storage were no significant difference. The b value of grade B pork patties were higher than that of grade I pork patties. The pH of pork patties decreased during storage. The VBN, TBARS and total bacterial counts added significantly during storage, and the addition of mugwort powder were not affected during storage.

An attempt was made in this study to investigate the optimum condition of washing for preparation of mackerel surimi by alkaline washing of 1, 3, 5, and 7 times under atmospheric (760), 660, and 560 mmHg pressure. The qualities of surimis were examined by analyzing the factors such as water content, crude lipid, pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), expressible drip, protein extractability, $Mg^{2+}-$, $Ca^{2+}-$ and EDTA-ATPase activity, transglutaminase (TGase) activity, gel strength and color. The contents of moisture, crude lipid, pH and VBN in surimis prepared by alkaline washing under atmospheric, and reduced pressure went up to $72.0{\sim}72.9%$, $4.8{\sim}5.7%$, $6.9{\sim}7.0$ and $6.7{\sim}7.0\;mg/100\;g$, respectively. Protein extractability, ATPase activity and TGase activity were highest in surimis prepared by alkaline washing under 560 mmHg. Gel strengths of surimi setting gel and cooked gel from five times washing under 560 mmHg were 420 g cm (atmospheric, 330 g cm) and 485 g cm (atmospheric, 412 g cm), respectively. For the preparation of mackerel surimi, optimum washing condition was five times washing under 560 mmHg.

Flounder sikhe is one of the traditional Korean fermented foods. Because honey, fucoidan, propolis, aronia berry, and horseradish are well known to have natural antimicrobial properties, we investigated their antimicrobial effects on improving the quality of flounder sikhe. Ethanol extracts of propolis inhibited the growth of Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes. The extracts of aronia berry showed similar effects against Salmonella Typhimurium. We also assessed the total polyphenol and total flavonoid content and 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrythydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity in the extracts obtained from these natural materials. The contents of polyphenols and flavonoids were the highest in propolis, which also showed a high DPPH radical scavenging activity. Therefore, addition of propolis 0.5% to flounder sikhe showed optimal improvement, with a storage stability of 15 days at pH 5.39, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content at 24.73 mg/100 g, and total bacterial count at $1.81{\times}10$ colony forming unit (CFU)/g.
