The combined effects of smoking and boiling on the proximate composition, technological quality traits, shear force, and sensory characteristics of the Korean traditional boiled loin were studied. Cooking loss, processing loss, and shear force were lower in the smoked/ boiled samples than those in the control (without smoking treatment) (p<0.05). The results showed that the boiled loin samples between the control and treatment did not differ significantly in protein, fat, or ash contents, or pH values (p>0.05). The treated samples had higher score for overall acceptability than the control (p<0.05). Thus, these results show that the Korean traditional boiled loin treated with smoking for 60 min before boiling had improved physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics.

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the tenderness of meat and it''s correlation with other carcass traits of Hanwoo steers. The significantly (p<0.01) higher mastication and shearing were observed in boiled meat than in the raw meat but the coefficient of variations were greater in raw meat than in boiled meat. The correlation between raw and boiled meat for shearing and penetration were positive and significant (p<0.01). Negative and significant correlations were observed between mastication and eye muscle area (p<0.05) and also between shearing and cooking loss (p<0.01) in raw meat whereas, penetration in raw meat was positively and significantly (p<0.05) correlated with age of the steers. Shearing in boiled meat negatively and significantly correlated with age (p<0.05), carcass weight (p<0.01), back fat thickness (p<0.01) as well as muscle score (p<0.01). The pH was not significantly correlated with tenderness in both raw and boiled meat. There were possibilities that the tenderness of boiled meat could be predicted from the raw meat.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the quality characteristics of restructured pressed smoked duck steak from the breast meat of Cherry Valley ducks. Different levels of isolated soybean protein (ISP) (0, 15 and $30g{\cdot}kg^{-1}$) or carrageenan (5, 10 and $15g{\cdot}kg^{-1}$) were added to manufacture the restructured pressed smoked duck steak. The results were as follows: No significant differences were observed for moisture, crude fat, crude protein, cooking loss and water holding capacity of products from all treatments. The panel test scores showed that color, flavor and binding ability of products were considered acceptable. The drip loss in control sliced-products was significantly higher than products containing ISP or carrageenan (p<0.05) during storage at $-18^{\circ}C$ for 12 weeks. The pH value, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) value and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value of vacuum-packaged products did not change significantly during storage at $-18^{\circ}C$ for 6 weeks. However, TBA values increased with storage time. The viable bacterial counts were about $10^{3}-10^{4}CFU/g$ during storage at $-18^{\circ}C$ for 12 weeks. The products remained good quality during the storage period.

This study was performed to determine the effects of dietary Kocetin$^{TM}$ on meat quality of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) beef. Samples were divided into 3 groups; dietary supplementation of Kocetin$^{TM}$ (KC) at 21 and 42 ppm (n=4), and non-supplemented control (n=3) for 75 days. The KC composed of 10% of quercetin which was a bioactive compound. After slaughtering the Hanwoo, each loin from 10 Hanwoos were obtained and analyzed. Dietary supplementation of KC did not affect the final pH, water holding capacity, drip loss, cooking loss, surface color, total phenolics content, radical scavenging activity, and sensory scores. Dietary quercetin also showed no difference in both TBARS and VBN values. Textural profile analysis results also showed no difference, except for adhesiveness and springness. Springness was significantly higher in loin from Hanwoo treated by dietary KC at 42 ppm when compared to control. Results revealed that the loin from Hanwoo fed dietary KC up to 42 ppm (approximately 4.2 ppm of quercetin) was not sufficient to have clear positive effects on meat quality of loin.

This study was conducted to analyze the genotypes and genes of FABP3 (Fatty-acid Binding Protein 3) in pigs using MSPI restriction enzyme and electrophoresis. Analysis of data collected from a total of 210 crossbred pigs (LYD or YLD) in Chungcheongnam-do, Korea, revealed the following. The AA genotypes of FABP3 were detected in the 750 bp and 100 bp bands, while the Aa heterotype appeared in the 850, 750 and 100 bp bands and the aa recessive homotype was detected in a single band of 850 bp. The genotype frequency of AA, Aa and aa was 46.67%, 51.43% and 1.90%, respectively. The genetic equilibrium of this population showed a significant difference (p<0.001) based on a ${\chi}^2$-test. The carcass weight, backfat thickness, marbling score, pH, drip loss, cooking loss, and meat color based on the CIE $L^*$, and $b^*$ values according to genotypes of FABP3 did not differ significantly (p>0.05); however, the CIE $a^*$ values did (p<0.05).

Surimi-like samples were divided into four groups (C, surimi-like material made from Alaska Pollack with all cryoprotectant ingredients; T1, surimi-like material made from chicken breast with sugar and a sorbitol-free cryoprotectant; T2, surimi-like material made from chicken breast with a sugar-free cryoprotectant; T3, surimi-like material made from chicken breast with all cryoprotectant ingredients). Water and protein content were lower in Alaska Pollack surimi-like material (C) than those in chicken breast surimi-like material. Centrifuge loss and cooking loss were higher in C than those in chicken breast surimi-like material. Lipid oxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) was lower in T3 than others during storage. In a sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was significantly higher in C than those in other samples during storage. As a result, we found that the raw material composition (Alaska Pollack or chicken breast) had a large influence on the physico-chemical characteristics and quality of surimi-like materials, whereas cryoprotectant composition may have less influence on the physico-chemical characteristics and quality of surimi-like materials.

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.

This study investigated the effects of artificial supercooling followed by still air freezing (SSF) on the qualities of pork loin. The qualities of pork frozen by SSF were compared with the fresh control (CT, stored at 4℃ for 24 h), slow freezing (SAF, still air freezing) and rapid freezing (EIF, ethanol immersion freezing) treatments. Compared with no supercooling phenomena of SAF and EIF, the extent of supercooling obtained by SSF treatment was 1.4℃. Despite that SSF was conducted with the same method with SAF, application of artificial supercooling accelerated the phase transition (traverse from -0.6℃ to -5℃) from 3.07 h (SAF) to 2.23 h (SSF). The observation of a microstructure indicated that the SSF prevented tissue damage caused by ice crystallization and maintained the structural integrity. The estimated quality parameters reflected that SSF exhibited superior meat quality compared with slow freezing (SAF). SSF showed better water-holding capacity (lower thawing loss, cooking loss and expressible moisture) and tenderness than SAF, and these quality parameters of SSF were not significantly different with ultra-fast freezing treatment (EIF). Consequently, the results demonstrated that the generation of supercooling followed by conventional freezing potentially had the advantage of minimizing the quality deterioration caused by the slow freezing of meat.

Purpose: This study analyzed and compared the physico-chemical and affective properties between mackerels cooked by an electric pan and under superheated steam. Methods: Mackerel were cooked by an electric pan ($95^{\circ}C$) for 10 min and mackerel cooked under superheated steam ($250^{\circ}C$) for 5 min to be internal temperatures of $75{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ and tests to measure proximate composition, color values, texture profiles, microorganism counts and sensory acceptance were performed. Results: The moisture contents were 60.30% and 73.81% in mackerels cooked by electric pan and under superheated steam, respectively. The rate of weight loss in mackerel cooked by electric pan was 39%, whereas it was 29% in mackerel cooked under superheated steam. Mackerel cooked under superheated steam exhibited more yellowness, higher springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and resilience with more acceptable preferences (appearance, odor, taste, and texture) compared to the mackerel cooked by electric pan. Conclusion: The application of superheated steam technology to fish products could reduce the cooking time and nutritional loss. Also, it could produce highly preferred fish products compared to that prepared by conventional electric pan.

This study evaluated the quality and antioxidant activities of pork patties after adding Cirsium nipponicum powder in a ratio of 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%, and the potential of Cirsium nipponicum as a functional food. The moisture content increased with an increase in the Cirsium nipponicum powder content while the pH, cooking loss rate, diameter loss rate decreased. The L and b values decreased with increase in the Cirsium nipponicum powder content while the a value increased; this trend was observed before and after heating the patties. The hardness, chewiness, and gumminess increased with increase in the Cirsium nipponicum powder content. Consumer acceptability test revealed that the 2% Cirsium nipponicum powder group had a higher score than the other groups in respect to color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptance. Notably, as the Cirsium nipponicum powder content increased, there was an increase in the antioxidant activities; increased total pheonlic, flavonoid, DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity. Based on the present study results, adding 2% of Cirsium nipponicum powder into pork patties achieved the best functionality and sensory qualities.
