Changran jeotkal, a Korean traditional fermented seafood, was prepared as a pilot scale using a commercial method and irradiated at 0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 kGy by gamma ray to investigate possibilities for further industrial application. To see the effectiveness and rapid industrialization, hot pepper powder was irradiated at 10 kGy and manufactured the changran jeotkal (HP-10 kGy) as same method since the hot pepper powder was approved legally for gamma irradiation in Korea. The content of volatile basic nitrogen and amino nitrogen was significantly reduced by gamma irradiation in all storage periods. Amino nitrogen contents of 0, 2.5, 5.0, 10 kGy and HP-10 kGy were 98.9, 98.5, 92.4, 88.0 and 93.1mg%, respectively after 12 week of storage at $10^{\circ}C$. In total, 8 kinds of biogenic amines were found from the samples, and the contents in the gamma irradiated changran Jeotkal were lower than those of the control during storage. The sample of HP-10 kGy showed similar physicochemical characteristics to the sample irradiated as $2.5{\sim}5.0\;kGy$. Results indicated that gamma irradiation of fermented seafood products such as seasoned changran jeotkal improved quality stability, thus, we recommend gamma irradiation for industrial application.

In order to investigate the quality changes during the storage after curing were determined volatile basic nitrogen(VBN), amino nitrogen, total creatinine, total carotenoid, extents of browning, reducing sugar and glycogen. During the storage of $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ after fermented for 1 or 2 days at $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, amino nitrogen increased slowely. Whereas the total carotenoid and glycogen decreased. Browning did not occurred for 50 days. Total creatinine increased gradually until 20 days but reducing sugar increased continuously through 50 days of storage. The result of sensory evaluation during the storage of fermented ascidian added $0.1\%$ papain and protease-A with NaCl $10\%\;and\;15\%$ showed that original taste and flavor of ascidian for $30{\sim}40$ days of storage at $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of red wine on the color, hardness, springiness, chewiness, pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value, and total bacterial number of pork meat stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. Pork meat was treated with 25% water (control), 20% water and 5% red wine (RW5), 15% water and 10% red wine (RW10), or 10% water and 15% red wine (RW15). The lightness ($L^*$), redness ($a^*$) and yellowness ($b^*$) values tended to decrease with longer storage period (p<0.05). The $L^*$ values of RW10 and RW15 were higher than those of control and RW5 on the first day of storage, whereas the control and RW5 had higher $L^*$ values compared to RW10 and RW15 after 10 days (p<0.05). Hardness of RW5 was the lowest after 10 days of storage (p<0.05). The pH levels were not significantly different among the samples. The VBN contents increased with longer storage period (p<0.05), and those of RW10 and RW15 were lower than those of the control and RW5 after 10 days of storage (p<0.05). The TBARS values increased with longer storage period (p<0.05), and those of the control, RW5, RW10, and RW15 were 0.61, 0.45, 0.35 and 0.33 mg MA/kg, respectively, after 10 days of the storage. The total bacterial numbers increased with longer storage period, and those of RW5, RW10 and RW15 were lower compared to the control (p<0.05). Taste, tenderness, juiciness, and palatability were not significantly different among the samples, but the flavor of RW5 had the highest value after 10 days of storage (p<0.05). These results suggest that red wine can inhibit protein degradation, lipid oxidation, and bacterial growth when used as an additive of seasoned pork meat.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of plant scale and cooking conditions on the quality characteristics of sausages during refrigerated storage. Methods: Sausages used in this study were classified into two groups: those submitted to $1^{st}$ cooked treatments and those submitted to $2^{nd}$ cooked treatments. The pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), gas production ratio, and microorganisms were measured in triplicate. Results: The change of quality in the products was assessed every 7 days by measuring pH, VBN levels, total microbes, coliform bacteria, Escherichia coli, and pathogenic bacteria in the products. Pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium perfringens, and E. coli were not detected in the sausages with $1^{st}$ cooked treatments. The results showed that the pH of the sausages decline as storage time increased. The pH value of the sausages with $2^{nd}$ cooked treatments changed gradually. VBN levels were generally lower in products with $2^{nd}$ cooked treatments than in those with $1^{st}$ cooked treatments, but they varied with the type of products. On the $35^{th}$ day, the number of total microbes ranged between 6.13-7.12 log CFU/g in products with $1^{st}$ cooked treatments and 3.44-6.92 log CFU/g in products with $2^{nd}$ cooked treatments, showing fewer bacteria in the latter products. Conclusions: $1^{st}$ cooked treatments were effective in microbial control, but $2^{nd}$ cooked treatments could prolong the shelf life of the sausages, indicating a need for differential management of each product.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the addition of red wine on the color, water activity, hardness, pH, 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) value, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content and total plate count of beef jerky during storage at room temperature for 4 weeks. Beef jerky was prepared using three variations: beef jerky containing 50 mL water (T0), beef jerky containing a combination of 25 mL water and 25 mL red wine (T1) and beef jerky containing 50 mL red wine (T2). The lightness ($L^*$) was the lowest at the 4-week storage period, and the $L^*$ value of T1 and T2 were lower than that of T0 (p<0.05). The redness ($a^*$) tended to decrease during storage, with the $a^*$ value of T1 and T2 being higher than that of the T0 (p<0.05). The yellowness ($b^*$) during storage was not changed, and the $b^*$ value was not significantly different among the different samples tested. The water activity decreased during storage and T0, T1 and T2 was 0.57, 0.57 and 0.60 after 4 weeks of storage, respectively(p<0.05). The hardness increased during storage and the hardness of T2 stored for 4 weeks was lower than that of T0 and T1 (p<0.05). The pH was decreased with an increase in storage time (p<0.05). The TBARS value increased during storage and the TBARS value of T1 and T2 stored for 4 weeks was lower than that of T0 (p<0.05). The VBN content increased during storage and T2 stored for 4 weeks showed the lowest (p<0.05). The total plate count tended to increase during storage, and T0 stored for 4 weeks showed the highest (p<0.05).

Changes in chemical characteristic, microflora, and sensory evaluation of fish sauce extracted at an interval of one week from fermented solution were investigated. pH was reduced from 6.0 to 4.5, and trimethylamine oxide from 132.5 to 87.2 mg/100g during fermenting periods. Trimethylamine increased from 5.6 to 50.2 mg/100g, and volatile basic nitrogen from 48.3 to 232.5 mg/100g. Bacterial flora isolated from the fish sauce were 70% Lactobacillus sp. and 13% Bacillus sp. Among the free amino acids, alanine, glutamic acid, valine, and methionine contents constitute 40% of the total free amino acids. Major non-volatile organic acid of the fish sauce was lactic acid (76%). Sensory evaluation results of the fish sauce were higher than the traditional soybean sauce after 28 days of fermentation.

The taste compounds in low salted and fermented damsel fish, Chromis notatus, substitute lactic acid, sorbitol and ethyl alcohol for sodium chloride and fatty acid composition were analysed during fermentation. The best organoleptic result was obtained after 60 days fermentation. Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) was increased significantly until 10 days fermentation period but low salted and fermented products ($8\%\;and\;10\%$ salted) gave lower VBN value than that of $20\%$ salted after 85 days fermentation. Amino nitrogen also increased rapidly after 10 days fermentation and slowed down up to 60 days but it was decreased after 85 days. The abundant amino acids in raw damsel fish were lysine, taurine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline and alanine and those were consisted of $58.8\%$ of the total free amino acids but arginine and tyrosine were trace in content. After 60 days fermentation, lysine, glutamic acid, alanine, leucine, aspartic acid and valine were dominant which marked $58{\sim}71\%$ of the total free amino acids but taurine was not detected. In raw ingredients, IMP was abundant which marked $18.6{\mu}mole/g$ while in fermented sample, hypoxanthine was predominant but ATP and ADP were not detected. During fermentation TMA was increased but TMAO was decreased which marked only trace after 60 days. Total creatinine was rapidly increased after 10 days but notable change was not showed after 60 days fermentation. The major fatty acids of total lipid in raw and fermented damsel fish were 16:0, 18:1, 16:1, 22:6 and 20:5 in order.

This study is performed to evaluate the effects of purple Kohlrabi addition on the quality properties and stability characteristics of hamburger patties during storage. The patties were prepared by adding 0% (N), 3.3% (K1), 6.6% (K2), and 10% (K3) of chopped purple Kohlrabi. Each patty was tested in triplicate and assigned to one of the four storage periods: 0, 5, 10, or 15 days. Addition of Kohlrabi decreased the protein and lipid contents, however, the ash and moisture contents were significantly increased. The total amino acid contents of N, K1, K2, and K3 were $15.34{\pm}1.02$, $14.57{\pm}1.28$, $15.10{\pm}1.17$, and $16.70{\pm}1.23$ mg/100 g, respectively. Palmitic acid was the most abundant among the saturated fatty acids, while oleic acid was the most abundant unsaturated fatty acids among the four groups. The water holding capacity value and cooking loss were not significantly different among the patties. In the textural characteristics, the addition of Kohlrabi increased the cohesiveness and chewiness values, but did not affect the hardness and springiness values of the patties. In the sensory evaluation, an addition of 10% Kohlrabi had the best score in color, flavor, and total acceptability. The pH of the patties decreased longer period storage; however, the total microbial counts, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content increased during storage. The TBA value and VBN content of the patties containing 10% Kohlrabi were lower than those of the N. Kohlrabi addition decreased the b (yellowness) and a (redness) values, and did not affect the L (lightness) value. Thus, this result suggests that adding Kohlrabi of 10% can be applied to patties for its functionality.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of dietary supplementation of quercetin and methoxylated quercetin extracted from onions on oxidation of chicken thigh during cold storage. For 35 days, 1-day-old 320 broiler chicks (Ross) were divided into 8 groups and supplemented the diet; basal diet only (T1), T1 with antibiotics (T2), vitamin E 20 IU (T3), vitamin E 200 IU (T4), quercetin 20 ppm (T5), quercetin 200 ppm (T6), methoxylated quercetin 20 ppm (T7), methoxylated quercetin 200 ppm (T8). After slaughtering the broilers, thigh meats were collected and analyzed the oxidation stability during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) was ranged from 10.98~15.37 mg% until day 3 and quercetin 20 ppm (T5) significantly reduced (p<0.05) the VBN value of thigh as much as antibiotics treatment group (T2). The supplementation of quercetin at a 200 ppm level significantly reduced 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value when compared with the control. Supplementation of 20 ppm quercetin also affected fatty acid composition of chicken thigh and resulted in increase of C18:1w9 and decrease of C18:2w6 on day 3. In microbes of chicken thigh during storage, supplementation of 20 ppm quercetin significantly reduced total microbes compare to control on day 7 (p<0.05). There was no effect on the number of coliforms in thigh with quercetin diet. From these results, the dietary supplementation of 20 ppm of quercetin may have effects on enhancing oxidation stability.

This study was conducted to determine the preblending effect of curing agents on the characteristics of mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM), including the pH, water-holding capacity (WHC), and stability under refrigeration conditions. MDCM was preblended with different curing agents [NaCl, 0.75 or 1.5%; sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), 0.25 or 0.5%; ascorbic acid, 250 or 500 ppm; sodium nitrite, 75 or 150 ppm] and were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ overnight. The preblending of NaCl was found to have improved the WHC and emulsion stability; STPP was found to have improved the pH, WHC, and emulsion stability; and ascorbic acid or sodium nitrite did not affect the pH, WHC, and emulsion stability. The addition of ascorbic acid or sodium nitrite, however, decreased the 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values of the preblended MDCM through the antioxidizing properties. The mixing effects of different curing agents on MDCM were also evaluated with nine different conditions. Among the treatments, the mixture of NaCl and STPP improved the WHC and emulsion stability due to the increased solubility of salt-soluble protein in the preblended MDCM. The mixture of NaCl, STPP, and ascorbic acid increased the pH, WHC, and emulsion stability, but the mixture of NaCl, STPP, ascorbic acid, and sodium nitrite improved the WHC, emulsion stability, and redness of the surface color with improved storage stability due to the decreased VBN and TBA values. As a result, the mixture of 1.5% NaCl, 0.5% STPP, 500 ppm ascorbic acid, and 75 ppm sodium nitrite showed the best properties as curing agents for MDCM preblending.
