The relationship between chemical compositions, meat quality traits, and palatability attributes in 10 primal cuts from Hanwoo steer carcasses were assessed. Sensory palatability attributes of Hanwoo beef were more closely related with fat content than to moisture or protein content. Among the chemical compositions, only fat had a significant correlation with juiciness (0.67, p<0.001), tenderness (0.32, p<0.05), and overall palatability (0.56, p<0.001). Oleic acid (%) was not significantly related with overall palatability (p>0.05). Overall palatability was negatively correlated with drip loss (−0.32, p<0.05), cooking loss (−0.36, p<0.05), and shear force (−0.54, p<0.01). The correlation between fat content and overall palatability was increased when higher fat cuts (Ansim, Dungsim, Chaekeut, Yangjee, and Kalbi) were analyzed, compared to lower fat cuts (Moksim, Abdari, Udun, Suldo, and Satae). Also, the correlation between shear force and overall palatability was decreased in lower fat cuts compared to higher fat cuts. Our results suggest that the palatability of Hanwoo beef can be improved by increasing fat content in muscles, as increased fat content leads to an increase in sensory tenderness, flavor, and juiciness.

Objective: The aim was to investigate the influence of ultrasound and adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) marination (UAMP) on tenderness and structure of myofibrillar proteins of beef. Methods: Five groups, the untreated meat (Control), deionized water marination (DW), ultrasound followed by DW (UDW), AMP marination (AMP), and ultrasound followed by AMP (UAMP) were studied. Myofibrillar fragmentation, cooking loss, shear force, thermograms, histological observation of meats and myofibrillar proteins properties were investigated in these different treatments. Results: The results showed that UAMP significantly increased myofibrillar fragmentation index from 152 (Control), 231 (AMP), and 307 (UDW) to 355 (p<0.05), respectively. The lowest cooking loss, shear force and peak denaturation temperature were observed in UAMP. In histological observation, UDW and UAMP had more fragmented muscular bundles than the others. Furthermore, a drastic increase in ${\alpha}$-helix and decrease in ${\beta}$-sheet of myofibrillar proteins was observed in UAMP, implying the disaggregation of protein samples. The synchronous fluorescence spectra of myofibrillar proteins in UAMP suggested the combination of ultrasound and AMP could accelerate the unfolding molecular structure and destroying hydrophobic interactions. The results of circular dichroism and synchronous fluorescence spectra for myofibrillar proteins coincided with the microstructures of beef. Conclusion: The results indicate that ultrasound combined with AMP improved meat tenderness not only by disruption in muscle integrity, increasing water retention, but also altering their spatial structure of myofibrillar proteins.

This study compared the meat quality characteristics, palatability, and histochemical characteristics of low-marbled Hanwoo and Holstein steers of different beef quality grades (1, 2, and 3). No differences were observed in muscle pH_{24 h} and cooking loss between the groups (p>0.05); however, quality grade 1 of Hanwoo steers (HA1) showed a darker muscle surface compared to grade 1 of Holstein steers (HO1) (30.9 vs. 33.9, p<0.05). The HA2 group exhibited a lower value of Warner-Bratzler shear force compared to the HO1 and HO3 groups (60.8 vs. 69.2 and 87.8 N, p<0.001). For sensory quality attributes, steaks from the HA1 group showed higher scores of softness, initial tenderness, and amount of perceptible residue than steaks from the HO1 group (p<0.001). Within the quality grade 2, Hanwoo steers had a higher score of softness compared to Holstein steers (p<0.001). There were no differences in juiciness and flavor intensity between Hanwoo and Holstein steers at the same quality grade (p>0.05). This difference in tenderness attributes between the breeds within the quality grade was associated with morphological traits of muscle bundle, and Hanwoo steers had smaller bundle area (0.37 vs. 0.50 mm², p<0.05) and higher fiber number per bundle (88.2 vs. 121, p<0.05) compared to Holstein steers. Therefore, bundle characteristics of longissimus thoracis muscle can be crucial for explaining factor for the explanation of tenderness variations between different breeds at the same beef quality grade or marbling.

저급육인 한우숫소의 앞다리고기를 도살직후 $16{\pm}2^{\circ}C$에서 고온숙성하여 연도개선 효과를 검토하였다. 또한 24시간 고온숙성한 후, 재구성육을 조제하여 결착성 개선방법을 모색하였다. 시료의 처리는 소금(0, 0.5, 1.0%), pyrophosphate(0, 0.3, 0.5%)와 이들의 혼용효과를 검토하였고, 소금(0.5%)과 pyrophosphate(0.3%)를 혼용한 원료에 succinic anhydride(0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3%)를 첨가하여 석시닐산의 첨가효과를 검토하였다. 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 고온숙성은 저온숙성에 비하여 전단력이 낮았고, 근원섬유소편화지수가 높았으며, 연도개선의 효과가 뛰어났다. 전자현미경에 의한 형태학적 변화의 결과도 이들 결과 일치하였다. 2. 재구성육의 파단응력은 소금과 인산염의 첨가수준이 증가할수록 높아졌고, 소금과 인산염을 혼용할 경우, 현저히 증가하였다. 3. 조리수율은 소금과 인산염의 첨가수준이 증가할수록 낮아졌고, 소금과 인산염을 혼용할 경우, 현저하게 감소하였다. 4. TBA가는 소금 첨가수준에 비례하여 증가하였으며, 인산염 및 인산염과 소금혼용의 경우는 약간 증가하는 경향이었다. 5. 석신산은 재구성육의 결착력과 품질개선에 전혀 도움이 되지 않았다.

본 연구는 진공포장 한우육의 냉수침지 숙성방법이 한우육의 연도 및 미생물증식에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 근절길이는 냉수침지 처리구가 저장 3일째 유의적(p<0.05)으로 긴 것으로 나타났으며, 저 장 3일째를 제외 한 저 장기간 동안 유의적 인 차이는 없었으나 대조구에 비해 긴 경향을 보였다. 또한 유리칼슘 농도에 있어서도 저장 7일 째 냉수침지 처리구가 유의적(p<0.05)으로 높게 나타났으며, 역시 저장 7일째를 제외한 저장기간 동안 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 대조구에 비해 높은 경향을 보였다. 한편 전단가와 근원섬유 소편화 지수에 있어서는 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 두 처리구간에 있어서 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았지만, 냉수침지 처리구가 상대적으로 낮은 전단가와 높은 소편화지수의 경향을 보였다. 이 같은 결과는 냉수침지 숙성이 일반공기순환냉장고의 숙성보다 근절의 길이를 길게 하고, 근형질내 칼슘의 농도를 높이며, 소편화 지수를 높게 한 결과 연도를 향상시킬 수 있다는 가능성을 제시한 것으로 사료된다. 덧붙여, 총세균수는 일반공 기순환냉장실에 저장한 것에 비해 냉수침지 처리구가 유의적(p<0.05)으로 낮은 것으로 나타나, 온도의 변이를 줄이는 것에 기인하여 미생물의 성장억제에도 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

Beef producers are trying to produce not only better quality but also greater quantity of beef in order to meet the preferences of some consumers at a lower cost. This can be accomplished if we understand the factors regulating lipid deposition in intramuscular adipose tissue and the tenderness of meat. Propylene glycol (PG) might be used as a precursor of intramuscular fat synthesis especially in the late period of fattening because adipose tissue in ruminants is thought to mature sequentially in abdominal, intermuscular, subcutaneous and intramuscular depots. The action of cholecalciferol supplementation has been verified in producing more tender meat through the enhancement of calpain activity over the postmortem ageing period. A synergistic effect can be expected if the dietary cation and anion difference (DCAD) technique is used in combination with dietary supplementation of cholecalciferol. In another approach, the optimization of hormonal implant use also may provide similarly marbled beef at a much lower cost.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Debaryomyces hansenii isolated from dry-aged beef on the tenderness and flavor attributes of low-grade beef during dry aging. Methods: Five D. hansenii strains were isolated from dry-aged beef samples. The rump of low-grade beef was inoculated with individual D. hansenii isolates and subjected to dry aging for 4 weeks at 5℃ and 75% relative humidity. Microbial contamination levels, meat quality attributes, and flavor attributes in the dry-aged beef were measured. Results: Of the five isolates, the shear force of dry-aged beef inoculated with SMFM201812-3 and SMFM201905-5 was lower than that of control samples. Meanwhile, all five isolates increased the total free amino acid, glutamic acid, serine, glycine, alanine, and leucine contents in dry-aged beef. In particular, the total fatty acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acid contents in samples inoculated with D. hansenii SMFM201905-5 were higher than those in control samples. Conclusion: These results indicate that D. hansenii SMFM201905-5 might be used to improve the quality of beef during dry aging.

Thirty Hanwoo cattle including bulls, cows, and steers (n = 10 each) were slaughtered and investigated for carcass traits (weight, meat color, fat color, yield index, maturity, marbling score, back-fat thickness, and firmness) and meat quality. The meat quality such as: pH, color, cooking loss, fatty acid, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance, warner-bratzler shear force, tensile tests, and texture profiles were analyzed on longissimus lumborum (LL) muscles of the carcasses at different aging times (3 d and 21 d). The results showed that steers and cows had higher back-fat thickness and marbling score, and a lower firmness (p < 0.001) than bulls. Bulls exhibited a lower meat quality indicating by higher cooking loss, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance content, warner-bratzler shear force and tensile test values (p < 0.01). Regarding the sensory property, the bull meat also had higher hardness, and lower tenderness, juiciness and flavor scores than the cow or steer meat (p < 0.01). Additionally, the bull meat had a higher polyunsaturated fatty acid and a lower monounsaturated fatty acid contents (p < 0.01). With increased aging time, the meat tenderness was improved in all the genders. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that the gender and aging time affected the carcass traits, fatty acid and sensory quality of beef. Postmortem aging could improve the meat tenderness of all genders especially bulls.
