This study aimed to evaluate the differences in canine preferences for pet food terrine according to the processing method. As companion dogs, three male Spitz canines (average age 12 years, average weight 7 kg) and three male Spitz mix canines (average age 12 years, average weight 5 kg) were used in Experiment 1, whereas five male (average age 10 years, average weight 9 kg) and five female Shetland Sheepdogs (Sheltie, average age 10 years, average weight 8 kg) were used in Experiment 2, to evaluate their preferences and intake types. In both experiments, all dog categories mostly preferred 'meat' when it came to their first choice of food consumed, followed by 'vegetables', 'mixed eating', and 'vegetable leftover' last. This confirms means that canines are carnivores, and over time, choosing 'vegetables' or 'vegetable leftovers' as a secondary or alternate food source can be considered a natural process. When provided various terrines, canines in both experiments first ingested 'cooked' rather than 'freeze-dried' duck, chicken, beef, and pork terrines when selecting food at the start of feeding. For both experiments, most of the intake types using duck, chicken, beef, and pork terrine showed a preference for 'after consuming cooked terrine first and then intake freeze-dried' item. In conclusion, the reason for preferring cooked terrine can be attributed to the difference in the preparation cooking method of freeze-dried cooked terrine.

Four model systems of ground cooked meat (GCM), GCM-water (W), GCM-brine (B) and GCM-soybean sauce (S) were prepared and stored at $6^{\circ}C$ for 5 weeks. The oxidative behavior of lipids in the systems and the antioxidative effects of soybean sauce on the lipid oxidation were studied during the period of storage.Tiobarbituric acid values and peroxide values of the systems of GCM, GCM-B and GCM-W were increased significantly with the storage time, however, those values of GCM-S were hardly changed during the time of t u·eeks storage. The decreases in the contents of dienoic/polyenoic fatty acids of neutral or phospholipid fraction in GCM-S system were found to be the lowest among the systems during the 5 weeks storage. And also the least development of rancid flavor evaluated by sensory score during storage were observed in GCM-S system. These results are suggested that soybean sauce in the systems plays an important role as an antioxidative material on the lipid oxidation.

The effect of fermented spinach extracts on color development in cured meats was investigated in this study. The pH values of raw cured meats without addition of fermented spinach extract or nitrite (negative control) were higher (p<0.05) than those added with fermented spinach extract. The pH values of raw and cooked cured meats in treatment groups were decreased with increasing addition levels of fermented spinach extract. The lightness and yellowness values of raw cured meats formulated with fermented spinach extract were higher (p<0.05) than those of the control groups (both positive and negative controls). The redness values of cooked cured meats were increased with increasing fermented spinach extract levels, whereas the yellowness values of cooked cured meats were decreased with increasing levels of fermented spinach extract. The lowest volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values were observed in the positive control group with addition of nitrite. TBARS values of cured meats added with fermented spinach extract were decreased with increasing levels of fermented spinach extract and VBN values of curing meat with 30% fermented spinach extract was lower than the other treatments. Total viable bacterial counts in cured meats added with fermented spinach extract ranged from 0.34-1.01 Log CFU/g. E. coli and coliform bacteria were not observed in any of the cured meats treated with fermented spinach extracts or nitrite. Residual nitrite contents in treatment groups were increased with increasing levels of fermented spinach extract added. These results demonstrated that fermented spinach could be added to meat products to improve own curing characteristics.

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed to differentiate buffalo meat from the meat of Ceylon spotted deer (Axis axis ceylonensis), Ceylon sambhur (Cervus unicolor unicolor), cattle (Bovine), goat (Caprine), pig (Porcine), and sheep (Ovine). A set of primers were designed according to the sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene of bubalus bubalis and by PCR amplification a band of approximately 242 bp band was observed with buffalo DNA. These primers did not cross-react with DNA of other animal species tested in the study under the specified reaction conditions. A band of 649 bp was observed for all animal species tested when DNA was amplified with the universal primers indicating the presence of mitochondrial DNA in the samples. The technique was sensitive enough to identify rotten (10 days post slaughter), dried and cooked buffalo meat. The absence of a cross reaction with human DNA using the buffalo specific primers eliminates possible false positive reactions.

This study was carried out to investigate the change of palatability improvement of cooked meat by the physico-chemical properties and sensory characteristics as aging at $3^{\circ}C$ after thawing of frozen Holstein tenderloin. Shear force value(SFV), myofibrillar fragmentation ratio(MFR), appearance of 30ki1o dalton (30KD) component, raw meat aroma, tenderness, palatability of cooked meat, content of free amino acid and ATP related compound were measured. Raw meat aroma (p< 0.01), tenderness(p<0.05), SFV(p<0.05), MFR(p<0.01) and 30KD(p<0.001) of unfrozen beef tenderloin aged at $3^{\circ}C$ were superior than frozen beef tenderloin. As aging at $3^{\circ}C$ after thawing of frozen beef tenderloin SFV(p<0.05) decreased, MFR(P<0.001) and 30KD(p<0.001) increased, and raw meat aroma and tenderness improved(p<0.05). Also, cooked meat aroma, texture and palatability improved(p<0.05), without changing the taste. The content of aspartic acid and leucine of tenderloin aged thawing of frozen beef abounded were more than frozen beef(p<0.05), concentration of IMP(P<0.05) decreased, the hypoxanthine(p<0.05) and inosine increased.

Thermal-stable soluble proteins (TSSP) in livestock products has been recently reported. Therefore, the development of antibodies and immunoassay using a TSSP is useful because the presence of TSSP can be measured on processed food. In this study, the existence of TSSPs in pork fat and meat was confirmed and their antigenicity was investigated. The extracts from pork fat and meat by heating method were analyzed by SDS-PAGE with 5% stacking and 12% separating gels. The protein profiles from the raw pork fat and meat extracts (major band ranged 25 to 100 kDa) without cooking and heating treatments were significantly different compared to those from cooked and heated pork fat and meat extracts (several major bands > 100 kDa and < 30 kDa). This meant that non thermal-stable soluble proteins ranged from 25 to 100 kDa may be denaturated to insoluble proteins by cooking and heating treatments, and TSSPs were in pork fat and meat at kept their properties. The confirmed TSSPs were used as an immunogen to investigate their antigenicity. Eight mice (5 mice for pork fat and 3 mice for pork meat) were separately immunized with the TSSPs of pork fat and meat, and the anti-sera obtained from the immunized mice showed high titer values. Polyclonal antibodies against each target protein showed the specific reaction to pork fat and meat, individually. These indicated that TSSP could be used as an immunogen to produce antibodies such as monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. In addition, antibodies specific to TSSP from pork fat and meat may be used as a bio-receptor in immunoassays for the identification of fraudulent adulteration with pork fat and meat in livestock products.

The effect of cooking(boiling, steaming and baking) and drying on the cholesterol content and formation of oxidized cholesterols and acid value in squid(Japanese flying squid, Todarodes pacificus) was studied. Cholesterol content of live squid meat varied with the portion sampled. The data from spectophotometric assay ranged from 263.2 mg/100g(mantle) to 315.8 mg/100g(tentacle). The cholesterol levels found for squid samples analyzed by gas chromatography(GC) were lower by 7% of total cholesterol for live squid meat and 24% for processed meat than those results by spectrophotometric assay. Cooking resulted some decrease in the initial total cholesterol content of raw meat from 10%(boiling for 5 min.) to 25%(steaming for 5 min.). The amounts of cholesterol remaining after baking were 68% for microwave oven samples and 64% for convection oven samples. Drying of raw tissue caused the greater reduction in cholesterol content than cooking but brought about no significant difference in samples stored for 6 weeks at $4^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. Raw squid meats contained essentially no oxidized cholesterols, while the 22-hydroxychoesterol was detected in frozen meats. The additional oxidized cholesterols as cholestane-triol was indentified with 22-hydroxycholesterol in cooked samples. Sun dried meat stored at $4^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$ for 6 weeks had the three kinds of oxidized cholesterols such as 22-hydroxycholesterol, cholesta-3,5-dien-7-one and cholestane-triol. For the boiled and steamed squids, 10% higher acid value and 5% higher acid value respectively were observed but oven cooked samples resulted in a 50% higher acid value than raw samples. Squids had a 45% higher acid value than raw one during sundrying and presrevation at $20^{\circ}C$ but there was not a severe difference of acid value between $4^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$ stored samples.

Buffalo meat patties with two fat levels, F1 (15% added fat) and F2 (5% added fat and 3% tapioca starch), were cooked in a pre-heated hot air oven (HO) at $175{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, in a microwave oven (MO) for 70 sec and by pressure cooking (PC) at 15 psi pressure for 10 min. and compared for physico-chemical, processing, sensory and microbiological quality attributes. F2 had significantly (p<0.05) higher value for the moisture and moisture protein ratio than F1. However, MO and PC patties had significantly (p<0.05) higher moisture content than HO-cooked buffalo meat patties irrespective of fat content. Highest fat percentage was in MO patties while the minimum was in PC patties. Moisture and fat retention and cooking yield were highest in MO patties irrespective of added fat content in the formulation. Cooking yield and dimensional parameters were better maintained in F2 than F1. Sensory scores viz. appearance and color, flavour, juiciness and texture for HO patties were better than other cooking methods. Sensory panelists rated overall acceptability of HO patties very good to excellent, whereas PC and MO patties were rated as good to very good irrespective of fat content. Microbiological quality was comparable in both groups irrespective of cooking methods used.

In this study, the existence of skeletal muscle troponin I (smTnI), well-known as a muscle protein in fat tissues, and the utilization of smTnI as a biomarker for the identification of fat adulteration were investigated. A commercial antibody (ab97427) specific to all of animals smTnI was used in this study. Fat and meat samples (cooked and non-cooked) of pork and beef, and chicken considered as representative meats were well minced and extracted by heating and non-heating methods, and the extracts from fat and meat tissues were probed by the antibody used in both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblot. The antibody exhibited a strong reaction to all meat and fat extracts in ELISA test. On the other hand, the results of immunoblot analsis revealed a 23 kDa high intensity band corresponding to the molecular weight of smTnI (23786 Da). These results demonstrate that the existence of smTnI in all animal fat tissues. Since there are monoclonal antibodies specific to each species smTnI, smTnI in fat tissues could be used as a biomarker to identify or determine animal species adulterated in meat products. Therefore, an analytical method to identify fraudulent fat adulteration can be developed with an antibody specific to each species smTnI.

This study observed the effects of the double combination of temperatures-times (2 temperatures: 2 times combination, 2T2T) in sous vide cooking method on the physicochemical properties and collagen solubility (CS) of semitendinosus muscle from cattle and goat as a comparison to common sous vide treatment (1 temperature: 1 time combination, 1T1T). The new invention of sous vide cooking method (2T2T) cooked at the first temperature at $45^{\circ}C$ for 3 h, and the second temperature at $60^{\circ}C$, $65^{\circ}C$, and $70^{\circ}C$ for 3 h, and labeled as N45-60, N45-65, and N45-70, respectively. While, common sous vide treatment (1T1T) were cooked directly for 6 h at $60^{\circ}C$ (T60), $65^{\circ}C$ (T65), and $70^{\circ}C$ (T70). Results revealed that cooking with 2T2T treatment improved the water-holding capacity and reduced the cooking loss of both beef and goat meat. The $L^*$ values have no apparent changes between treatment in beef and goat meat, while $a^*$ values of N45-60 treated goat presented markedly higher values than other treatments but an only slight increase in beef at the same treatment (p>0.05). Again, 2T2T treatment tended to decrease mean shear force (SF) values for beef and goat meat with the lowest SF values recorded at N45-60, and the CS no or less influenced this value. Therefore, the application of innovative sous vides cooking method (2T2T) presented comparable values in the treated beef and goat meat as compared to common sous vide method (1T1T).
