Beef loaves(5${\times}5{\times}$5cm) were cooked by conventional moist-heat and by various levels of microwaves. The mean internal temperature of the meats cooked by low power microwaves for 5~15 min were not significantly different from the conventionally boiled meats for 30 min. When cooking was made by microwaves at low level for 5~10 min, or at high level for 2 min and additional heating at low power level for 5min, the percent cooking loss were comparable with the samples cooked conventionally for 20~40 min. General proteolytic activity determined with azocoll indicated that enzyme activity decreased as internal temperature increased(r=-0.5779, p<0.05), and maximum activity occured at meats conventionally moist-heated for 10 min and by low power microwave for 5 min. Sensory scores for tenderness were high at conventional moist-heat for 30 min, for 20 min, microwave cooked at thatwing power for 10 min and at low power level for 10 min, in descending order. There were no significant differences in the thiamin content of meats after various treatments.

The effects of cooking method (grilling, frying, steaming, and microwaving) on the proximate composition and protein quality of chub mackerel Scomber japonicus treated with 2, 6, and 10% sodium chloride (NaCl) brine were investigated. Moisture content decreased in all cooked samples from 60.22% in the raw sample to 48.7% in the fried samples. Brine (10% NaCl) treatment recorded the highest moisture loss. All cooked samples showed a decrease in fat content, except fried samples. Protein content increased in all cooked samples, from 47.21% in the raw sample to 63.87% in the grilled sample. Brine treatment resulted in the highest degree of fat oxidation (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances), which was highest in the fried samples and lowest in the microwaved samples. The trypsin inhibitor (TI) concentration was highest in the microwaved samples and lowest in the fried samples. In all samples, 6% salt treatment caused the lowest TI level and the highest in vitro protein digestibility. In vitro digestibility increased from 79.4% in the raw sample to 86.43% in the fried samples. The total essential amino acids of all cooked samples increased. Results suggested that grilling and steaming had beneficial effects on the protein quality of chub mackerel.

Rice dumpling shells were prepared with different levels of hydrocolloids, such as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), and potato starch. After steaming, the physical, sensory, and cooking properties of the shells were measured. Increasing the amount of potato starch decreased the pasting temperature and increased the peak viscosity. With the addition of hydrocolloids, water absorption and cooking loss for the rice dumpling shells decreased significantly. For the textural properties, the rice dumpling shells with hydrocolloids showed lower hardness and higher springiness than the control, and especially, 10% potato starch and 3% HPMC addition (P10H3) improved the texture of the rice dumpling shells the most. The sensory results seemed to be affected more by the addition of potato starch than HPMC, and over 15% addition of potato starch significantly decreased the quality of the rice dumpling shells. By addition of adequate amount of hydrocolloids (3% HPMC and 10% potato starch), the sensory quality of rice dumpling shells can be effectively improved.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality of white pan breads as affected by various concentration of Cordyceps powder. Breads were prepared by addition of 0, 1, 2 and 3% of Cordyceps to flour of basic formulation. The moisture content of white pan breads decreased with increasing Cordyceps powder concentration. The pH of white pan breads also decreased with increasing Cordyceps powder concentration. In color values, with increase of Cordyceps powder concentration, L value decreased and a value increased in the crumb. The weights of breads cooled decreased with increasing Cordyceps powder concentration. The volume and height of dough decreased with increasing Cordyceps powder concentration. However, the specific volume and yield of dough were not significantly different among groups. The baking loss rate was higher in the breads with Cordyceps powder than in the control. In the texture characteristics, hardness and chewiness of breads significantly increased with increasing Cordyceps powder concentration and adhesiveness increased. In the sensory evaluation, when compared to the control, the breads added to 1% of Cordyceps powder was superior to in color and flavor, while was similar to texture and taste.

Low-fat sausages were prepared with various meats to investigate the effect of the addition of oatmeal at 10% as a fat substitute. The sausages were made with beef, pork and chicken after trimming the visible fat, and the physical and sensory properties of the sausages were evaluated. Beef sausage had the lowest cooking yield and the highest hardness, while chicken sausage showed the opposite properties. The addition of oatmeal resulted in sausage products with less cooking loss and softer texture for all types of meat sausages. Such changes were more pronounced for beef low-fat sausage than for the other types of sausages. The results of moisture absorption suggested that the difference in cooking yield and hardness among sausage products was due to the water-retention properties of different meats and the substitute in response to heat treatment. Sensory evaluation indicated that the greatest overall acceptability of the sausage products were obtained from 10% oatmeal-added pork sausage and that the addition of oatmeal led to better acceptability for all types meat sausages.

This study explored the physicochemical, textural, and sensorial properties of a meat analog (MA) as compared to beef and pork meats. Results illustrate that MA patties had lower moisture, fat, and protein content, as well as higher ash and crude fiber than beef and pork. Likewise, MA patties had a higher pH, lightness (L^*), and redness (a^*) than either beef or pork. Pork meat exhibited the highest released water (RW) and cooking loss (CL) values, followed closely by MA with beef displaying the lowest values. Regardless of patty type, the post-cooking diameter patties were reduced significantly (p<0.05). However, the Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF), hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of beef were significantly higher than that of either pork or MA. The visible appearance of MA patties had more porous and loose structures before and after cooking. Consequently, based on sensory parameters, MA patties demonstrated the higher values for appearance and firmness, followed by beef and pork respectively, although the difference was not statistically significant. Therefore, the current study demonstrated that some physicochemical, textural, and sensory characteristics of beef and pork exhibited the most similarity to MA.

To decrease the intake of animal fat and cholesterol, the changes in the physicochemical characteristics of beef loin cooked through different methods (boiling, steaming, baking, and frying) were investigated. The cooking weight loss, moisture drain rate, and cholesterol drain rate were highest during frying, whereas the lipid drain rate was highest during boiling. The pH value increased markedly during steaming, the acid value of meat fat increased remarkedly during boiling, and the refractive index of meat fat increased notably upon frying. The hardness of meat was remarkedly increased by steaming. The gumminess and chewiness of meat were notably increased by frying. The springiness slightly decreased during all the cooking methods, and the cohesiveness was not significantly affected by any cooking process. The CIE $L^*$ (lightness) value increased markedly during boiling, the CIE $a^*$ (redness) value decreased markedly during both boiling and steaming, and the CIE $b^*$ (yellowness) value decreased notably during all the cooking methods. The fatty acid composition did not significantly change after cooking, except when the meat was fried. Therefore, boiling is an effective cooking method for beef loin to decrease the intake of animal fat.

Processed meals, such as a ground meat and hamburger patty, are required to ensure that no pathogens remain in the final products. However, there was no rapid method available to verify that the recommended end-point cooking temperature(EPT) was reached. Thus, the objective of this study was to rapidly determine EPT of ground pork hams using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SOS-PAGE), based on the disappearance of sarcoplasmic proteins after cooking. Fresh pork hams were added two levels of salt(0, 2%) and fat(15, 25%) combinations, and stored in refrigerator overnight, and cooked to internal cooking temperatures of $64^{\circ}C$ to $74^{\circ}C$ with $2^{\circ}C$ increments. Cooked pork hams were measured cooking loss(CL, %), protein solubility(PS) and SOS-PAGE. CL(%) was reduced with the addition of 2% salt, as compared to the control, regardless of fat contents. It was also increased with increasing eooking temperature. Protein solubility was affected by the cooking temperature, resulting in reduced PS up to $64^{\circ}C$(P < 0.05), but remained constant higher than $68^{\circ}C$. In SOS-PAGE analysis, protein bands with the molecular weights of 36 and 66 kDa were affected by the addition of salt and fat combinations. regardless of treatments. These protein fractions were decreased gradually with increased cooking temperatures up to $68^{\circ}C$ ${\sim}$ $70^{\circ}C$ and might be good indicators for the determination of EPT in ground pork hams.

Sea mustard paste was prepared by treating wet and dried sea mustard with 0.1M Na2CO3, which mainly aimed to extract alginate from the cell wall of sea mustard. The pastes were added to beef, chicken and pork to manufacture the meat patties. The effects of adding the paste were investigated in terms of sensory properties, texture(hardness)and weight changes after cooking. The sensory attributes such as taste, color, texture and juiciness were generally enhanced by adding the paste. The hardness of cooked patties was significantly decreased, so the paste provided softer texture. The addition of paste also resulted in decreasing the weight loss of meat patties after cooking.

This study was conducted to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting meat quality in an $F_2$ reference population of Korean native pig and Landrace crossbreds. The three-generation mapping population was generated with 411 progeny from 38 $F_2$ full-sib families, and 133 genetic markers were used to produce a sex-average map of the 17 autosomes. The data set was analyzed using least squares Mendelian and parent-of-origin interval-mapping models. Lack-of-fit tests between models were used to characterize the QTL for mode of gene expressions. A total of 10 (32) QTL were detected at the 5% genome (chromosome)-wise level for the analyzed traits. Of the 42 QTL detected, 13 QTL were classified as Mendelian, 10 as paternal, 14 as maternal, and 5 as partial expressed QTL, respectively. Among the QTL detected at 5% genome-wise level, four QTL had Mendelian mode of inheritance on SSCs 5, 10, 12, and 13 for cooking loss, drip loss, crude lipid and crude protein, respectively; two QTL maternal inheritance for pH at 24-h and shear force on SSC11; three QTL paternal inheritance for CIE b and Hunter b on SSC9 and for cooking loss on SSC15; and one QTL partial expression for crude ash on SSC13, respectively. Most of the Mendelian QTL (9 of 13) had a dominant mode of gene action, suggesting potential utilization of heterosis for genetic improvement of meat quality within the cross population via marker-assisted selection.
