  • Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the quality of dry-aged beef from cull Hanwoo cows slaughtered at 60 or 80 months old. Methods: A total of eight cull Hanwoo carcasses with a quality grade of 3 (low-grade) were selected and divided into two age groups: 63.5±2.5 months old (n = 4) and 87.8±4.5 months old (n = 4). Whole longissimus thoracis et lumborum from the 11th rib to the last lumbar vertebrae, including the back fat, was removed from the carcass at 24 h postmortem and aged for 50 days in darkness at a temperature of 2℃±1℃, a relative humidity of 85% and an air flow of 2 m/s. The sampling was performed aseptically after 0, 20, 24, 40, and 50 days of aging. Results: Regardless of the aging period, aging increased the lightness (p<0.05), redness (p<0.05) and yellowness (p<0.05) at initial blooming (90 min after slicing) and the overall acceptance (p<0.05). No further tenderization effect was found after 20 days of aging, but aging for 50 days significantly increased the lipid oxidation (p<0.05). The generation of aroma volatiles in the roast steak from aged samples was higher (p<0.05) than that of non-aged samples. No significant effect of age at slaughter was found on the color, pH, water-holding capacity, cooking loss, shear force value, bacterial counts, volatile basic nitrogen, consumer acceptance, lipid oxidation, fatty acid composition or aroma volatiles. Conclusion: The quality of dry-aged beef obtained from cull Hanwoo cows slaughtered at either 60 or 80 months old with similar quality grade was comparable and extending dry aging for more than 40 days is not recommended considering the costs and further lipid oxidation.

  • This study aimed to determine the physicochemical properties (proximate composition, color, pH, salinity, water holding capacity (WHC), curing yield, and shear force) and sensory properties (electric nose and sensory evaluation) of Bulgogi sauce with added crust derived from dry-aged beef loin. Increasing the amount of crust in the Bulgogi sauce tended to increase the protein content, fat content, and pH. Uncooked Bulgogi also tended to have elevated fat content, ash content, pH, and shear force. Increasing the crust content tended to decrease the water content, lightness, redness, and yellowness of Bulgogi sauce. The yellowness of uncooked Bulgogi with 6%-12% crust in sauce was significantly lower than that of the control (no crust) and the sample with 3% crust in sauce (p<0.05). The redness of the cooked control Bulgogi was significantly lower than that of the samples with crust in sauce (p<0.05). The WHC of uncooked Bulgogi with 6%-12% crust in sauce was significantly higher than that of the control and the sample with 3% crust in sauce (p<0.05). The flavor, texture, and overall acceptability of the Bulgogi with 9% crust in sauce were significantly higher than those of the control (p<0.05). These findings showed that the crust did not degrade the physicochemical properties of Bulgogi sauce and meat. The sensory characteristics of Bulgogi marinated with 9% crust in sauce were rated the best as persensory evaluation. Therefore, crust is a suitable flavor enhancer for Bulgogi sauce, and a 9% addition amount is optimal in terms of quality.

  • We investigated the pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), microbial changes and dominant microbes in raw beef, wet-aging beef, and dry-aging beef after the meat had been stored in a refrigerator. The count of mesophilic bacteria was 3.3-3.9 log CFU/g in raw beef and dry-aging beef, and 5.4 log CFU/g in wet-aging meat. After 18 days of refrigeration, the mesophilic bacterial count in raw and aging beef increased to 6.1-6.4 log CFU/g. In wet-aging beef, the number of lactic acid bacteria increased from 4.5 log CFU/g to 6.0 log CFU/g at refrigeration temperature. However, lactic acid bacteria were not detected in dry aging beef. Major foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella spp, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli (EHEC) were not detected. Based on the legal standard for mesophilic bacteria count, the estimated shelf-life of aged beef was less than 12 days and the average VBN was 15 mg%. The dominant microorganisms varied between the different types of meat. In raw meat, Staphylococcus saprophyticus was the dominant microorganism, and as the VBN increased, Carnobacterium divergens dominated. In wet-aging beef, Carnobacterium divergens dominated during the initial days of refrigeration after which the number of Lactobacillus sakei increased. Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis was initially the dominant microbe in dry-aging beef, after which Pseudomonas fragi dominated. In addition to the role of specific bacteria in the early stage of decay, it is thought that microorganisms can be utilized for safe distribution and storage of matured meats by conducting research on changes in rot, fragrance analysis, and changes of ingredients in matured meats.

  • Objective: Different dry-aging methods [traditional dry-aging (TD), simplified dry-aging (SD), and SD in an aging bag (SDB)] were compared to investigate the possible use of SD and/or SDB in practical situations. Methods: Sirloins from 48 Hanwoo cows were frozen (Control, 2 days postmortem) or dry-aged for 28 days using the different aging methods and analyzed for chemical composition, total aerobic bacterial count, shear force, inosine 5′-monophosphate (IMP) and free amino acid content, and sensory properties. Results: The difference in chemical composition, total aerobic bacterial count, shear force, IMP, and total free amino acid content were negligible among the 3 dry-aged groups. The SD and SDB showed statistically similar tenderness, flavor, and overall acceptability relative to TD. However, SDB had a relatively higher saleable yield. Conclusion: Both SD and SDB can successfully substitute for TD. However, SDB would be the best option for simplified dry-aging of low-marbled beef with a relatively high saleable yield.

  • Animal muscles are stored for specific period (aging) at refrigerated temperatures, during and after which the living muscles start to convert into meat and thus, attain certain superior properties in the final product. Proteolysis, lipolysis, and oxidation are the major biochemical processes involved during the postmortem aging of meat that affect the tenderness, juiciness, and flavor, as well as sometimes may introduce certain undesirable traits. This review analyzes the role of pre- and post-mortem factors that are important for aging and their effect on the chemical and physical changes in the “dry- and wet-aged meat.” Thus, if the meat processing manufacturers optimize the effects of aging for specific muscles, the palatability, color, and the shelf life of the aged meat products could be significantly enhanced.

  • This study aimed to investigate the drying yield, meat quality, oxidation stability and sensory properties of Hanwoo beef loin subjected to different dry-aging conditions. A total of 54 Hanwoo beef loins (bone-in, $6^{th}-13^{th}$ ribs) with fat cover at 2 d postmortem were assigned to four groups and hung in a dry-aging room at a controlled temperature ($2^{\circ}C-4^{\circ}C$), humidity (65%-85%) and air velocity (3 m/s). Four treatment conditions were tested; the respective temperature, humidity and treatment duration are as follows: T1, $2^{\circ}C$, 85%, 60 d; T2, $2^{\circ}C$, 65%, $20d+2^{\circ}C$, 75%, $20d+4^{\circ}C$, 85%, 20 d; T3, $2^{\circ}C$, 75%, $20d+4^{\circ}C$, 85%, 40 d; T4, $4^{\circ}C$, 85%, 60 d. The drying yield, total aerobic counts and fat contents increased, whereas the moisture content, meat color (CIE $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$), and Warner-Bratzler shear force values decreased significantly during the aging period for all treatments (p<0.05). The cooking loss (%) did not change significantly until 40 d, and it was significantly higher in T1 and T4 than in T2 and T3 at 60 d (p<0.05). The water-holding capacity, pH and lipid oxidation [thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values] increased during aging (p<0.05). The sensory scores for tenderness, juiciness, flavor, and overall acceptability of dry-aged loin muscles increased as the aging period increased. T2 and T3 had significantly higher sensory scores and T1 had significantly lower scores for tenderness, juiciness, flavor, and overall acceptability at 20, 40, and 60 d for loin muscles (p<0.05).

  • This study investigated the quality change of strip loin from hanwoo with quality grade 2 produced by dry aging, and compared the quality of dry-aged strip loin with that of strip loin from hanwoo with quality grade $1^+$. Hanwoo strip loins with quality grade $1^+$ (SL1) and 2 (SL2) after a day of slaughter and dry-aged strip loin (DSL2) aged for 21 days at $2^{\circ}C$ with 85% humidity were obtained from local markets. The proximate composition, pH, cooking loss, lipid oxidation, instrumental color (CIE $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ value) and sensory properties of the strip loins were measured. DSL2 contained low moisture and high protein contents compared with SL2, and low fat, high protein, and high ash contents compared with SL1 (p<0.05). The pH and cooking loss were higher and lower, respectively, in DSL2 compared to SL2 (p<0.05). SL1 had a higher pH than DSL2 (p<0.05). However, the cooking loss was not different between SL1 and DSL2. The TBARS value was the highest in DSL2 and the lowest in SL2 (p<0.05). DSL2 had higher $L^*$ and $b^*$ value compared with SL2 (p<0.05). There were no significant differences of $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ values between DSL2 and SL1. Sensory properties such as the color, flavor, taste, texture, and acceptability of DSL2 were higher than those of SL2 (p<0.05). There was no significant different in all sensory properties between DSL2 and SL1. According to the results, dry aging can improve the nutritional and sensorial quality of strip loin with quality grade 2 to quality comparable to quality grade $1^+$.

  • This study was performed to investigate menu preferences of adult customers for Korean food made from Korean traditional sauces. A total of 962 valid responses were used for data analysis. Statistical analyses were conducted using the SPSS package program (ver 20.0). The results of this study are summarized as follows: overall preferences were highest for braised spareribs, followed by braised short ribs, grilled beef ribs, and bulgogi. On the other hand, overall preferences were lowest in eggplant namul, followed by squid and radish soup, and grazed lotus roots and burdock. Female's overall preferences were significantly higher than male's for nine menu items, including japchae and seasoned acorn starch curd with vegetables, whereas male's overall preferences were significantly higher than female's for 19 menu items, including grilled deodeok and frozen pollack stew. Moreover, the menu item that was most significantly preferred was soybean sprouts soup in subjects aged under 20 years and Korean meatballs in subjects in their twenties. Subjects in their forties showed significantly higher preferences for 15 menu items, including braised hairtail, grilled deodeok, and seasoned and grilled yellow corvina compared to other age groups. Furthermore, menu preferences of production service workers were significantly higher than other groups for frozen pollack stew, loach stew, grilled dried pollack, steamed dry pollack, dried pollack soup, eggplant namul, and seasoned and grilled yellow corvina, whereas menu preferences of official professional workers and students were significantly higher than those of production service workers for braised short ribs, grilled beef ribs, seasoned and simmered chicken, mixed noodles, Korean meatballs, stir-fried rice pasta with vegetables, spicy soft bean curd stew, japchae, mung bean jelly mixed with vegetables and beef, bibimbap, and stir-fried squid. The results show that menu preferences of adults customers differed depending on gender, age, and occupation. In conclusion, the results of this study should provide foodservice managers with information about menu planning for target customers of commercial or non-commercial foodservice cafeterias and recipe development of low-sodium Korean foods.
