Response surface methodology was used to study the effect of egg albumen (5-15 g), vegetable oil (5-15 g), and corn bran (5-15 g) on sensory and textural (firmness and toughness) quality of chicken nuggets cooked by the oven, steam, and microwave methods. The egg albumen and vegetable oil had a positive linear effect but corn bran had a negative linear effect at p<0.01 on sensory overall acceptability scores of nuggets. Firmness and toughness scores were increased significantly (p<0.01) with the increase in corn bran level in the formulation. The optimum level of egg albumen, vegetable oil, and corn bran were obtained and validated. Cooking methods also affected the sensory and textural quality of nuggets. Steam cooked nuggets had higher values of sensory scores than oven and microwave cooked nuggets. Oven cooked nuggets showed higher values of firmness and toughness than steam and microwave cooked nuggets. Results of this study suggest that emulsion based meat products can be enriched with dietary fiber source like corn bran without compromising the sensory and textural quality of the products.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of nanoemulsion (NEM) on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of pork patty to improve texture for elderly members of the population. Hence, we prepared pork patties supplemented with different of liquid materials: water; oil and water; oil, water, and surfactants; and nanoemulsion. The emulsion itself was characterized and the physicochemical properties of the pork patties, including pH, water content, cooking loss, thawing loss, liquid holding capacity, color, and texture, were analyzed. The size of NEM was 165.70±9.32 nm and NEM had high ζ-potential value indicating that it is stable. NEM patties had the lowest cooking and thawing losses, and the highest liquid retention, all of which affected the tenderness of the patties. Color of the patty was also affected by the addition of NEM. The highest lightness and yellowness and the lowest redness were observed (p<0.05). NEM patties had the lowest values for all texture attributes indicating improved tenderness. Our results demonstrate that NEM has positive effects on pork patties and can help to tenderize food products designed for the elderly. With further study, NEM could be a candidate tenderization agent in the meat industry.

Guar gum and $\kappa$-carrageenan were investigated as a substitutes for phosphate in pork meat processing. Emulsion-type pork sausages were prepared in which 0.5% phosphate was used for the control, and either $\kappa$-carrageenan or guar gum were added at levels of 0.1 or 0.5% for comparison. The hydrocolloid compounds significantly enhanced water holding capacity and cooking loss. However, hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness were not well-maintained when compared to the control; this was attributable to the altered water distribution as well as enhanced water holding capacity of the sausages by the addition of $\kappa$-carrageenan and guar gum. Furthermore, the phosphate-free sausages had similar storage stability as the phosphate-added sausage. Overall, the results suggest that $\kappa$-carrageenan or guar gum can be used in place of phosphate in conventional processing to successfully prepare phosphate-tree pork sausages.

The myofibril prepared from PSE (pale, soft, exudative) porcine meat was modified by reacting with succinic anhydride and the chemical and functional properties of modified myofibrils were investigated. $No\;Ca^{2+}-and\;Mg^{2+}-ATPase$ activity were observed irrespective of the degree of succinylation. Isoelectric point of the succinylated myofibril changed to around pH 3 from the pH 5 of unmodified myofibril. Salt soluble property was not affected by changing the salt concentration. The modified myofibril in aqueous solution did not coagulate during heating at $98^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. Water absorption ability was not improved but emulsion capacity was improved a little by succinylation.

Cold plasma has been developed to reduce microbial contamination and to improve safety of food and medical products. In addition, the technology can be used in the manufacture of sausages without addition of nitrite. To be applied in food industry commercially, the new technology should be safe and efficient. However, toxicological test of plasma-treated food is limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the mutagenicity and immune toxicity of the meat products cured with plasma-treated water (PTW) as a nitrite source. Emulsion sausages were prepared with no nitrite (control), sodium nitrite (SCS), and PTW (SCP). For a mutagenicity test, the Ames test was performed with the sausage samples. For immune toxicity test, 8-wk-old female Balb/c mice were given free access to the sausages in order to evaluate the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α level. As a result, no mutagenicity was detected in the sausages by the Ames test. The serum TNF-α values were less than 10 pg/mL in mice after feeding control and treated samples for 32 d, indicating that no inflammatory response was occurred by feeding the sausages made by PTW. Therefore, the present study opens the possibility of using plasma-treated water as a nitrite source without any toxicity.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of duck skin on cooking loss, emulsion stability, pH, color, protein solubility, texture profile analysis (TPA), apparent viscosity, and sensory characteristics of press type duck ham with different ratio of duck breast meat and duck skin. Five duck ham formulations were produced with the following compositions: T1 (duck breast 70% + duck skin 30%), T2 (duck breast 60% + duck skin 40%), T3 (duck breast 50% + duck skin 50%), T4 (duck breast 40% + duck skin 60%), and T5 (duck breast 30% + duck skin 70%). The cooking loss and fat separation were lower in T1, and the total expressible fluid separations were lower in T1 and T2 than others. The pH ranged from 6.48 to 6.59, with the highest values in T4 and T5. T5 had the highest CIE $L^*$-value, and T1 and T2 had the highest CIE $a^*$-values; however, CIE $b^*$-values did not differ significantly between the duck ham samples. The protein solubility and TPA (hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness) were the highest in T1. T1 and T2 had higher scores for color, tenderness, and overall acceptability. T1, T2, and T3 showed significantly higher values, but there were no significant differences for flavor and juiciness. Regarding apparent viscosity properties, T1 and T2 had higher viscosity values than the other formulations. In conclusion, the T1 (duck breast 70% + duck skin 30%) and T2 (duck breast 60% + duck skin 40%) duck hams show the highest quality characteristics.

Emulsification sausages were prepared in 3 different ways: T1: fat added after ice, T2: fat added before ice, T3: all ingredients added together. Each sample was ground for 4.5 min by a silent cutter at $15^{\circ}C$ and emulsified batters were stuffed into fibrous casing and then cooked for 40 min at $78^{\circ}C$ to determine the effect of the order of ingredient addition on the qualities of emulsion type sausage. The pH of T1 sausage was significantly higher, whereas the pH of T3 was significantly lower compared with the other samples(p<0.05). The shear force was significantly higher in T1 sausage, however the hardness and gumminess were significantly lower in T1 sausage compared with other two types(p<0.05). With regard to sensory evaluation, the relative amounts of flavor can be summarized as T2>T1>T3, and the color was significantly higher in T1 and T2 compared with T3(p<0.05). There was no significant difference among the test sausages with regard to aroma, juiciness, tenderness and overall acceptability(p>0.05). There were no significant differences in free moisture, water holding capacity(WHC), meat color and texture properties such as brittleness, cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness. As a result of this study, the sausage were much for sausage prepared by adding the fat after the ice(T1) than the other sausage samples in which fat was added after ice to make emulsion type sausages.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and canola oil on the quality traits of chicken nuggets. The nuggets were prepared from the breast meat of 75-week-old Hy-line old layer. Experiment 1 was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding different levels (0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%) of STPP addition (w/w). It was found that moisture content and cooking yield were significantly increased by the addition of STPP (P<0.05). STPP addition significantly increased hardness and Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) value (P<0.05). Thereafter, STPP addition was fixed at 0.3% (w/w) and another experiment was performed to investigate the effect of canola oil addition (w/w) at different levels (5%, 10%, and 15%). There was no difference in pH depending on canola oil content. However, emulsion capacity, fat loss, and total water loss increased with the increase in canola oil content (P<0.05). Hardness and WBSF value showed significant decreases as canola oil content increased (P<0.05). Texture and overall acceptance were significantly increased with the increase in canola oil content in a test based sensory evaluation. In conclusion, adding 0.3% STPP and 15% canola oil to chicken nuggets made from the old layer could produce a product with an acceptable quality.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of red and green glasswort on the physicochemical and textural properties of reduced-salt cooked sausages. The control was formulated with 1.5% NaCl; then, three reduced-salt treatments were prepared, with 0.75% NaCl (RS), 0.75% NaCl+1.0% red glasswort (RSR) and 0.75% NaCl+1.0% green glasswort (RSG), respectively. The addition of glasswort within the added amount of 1% had no influence on the pH value of the reduced-salt cooked sausages, regardless of the glasswort type. In terms of color, RSG treatment conveyed a higher hue angle value than the RSR treatment (p<0.05). Increases in the protein solubility (total and myofibrillar proteins) and apparent viscosity of reduced-salt meat batter that were due to the addition of glasswort were observed; however, there were no differences according to the type of glasswort (p>0.05). Furthermore, the addition of glasswort, regardless of its type, resulted in decreased cooking loss, and increased emulsion stability. As a result, reduced-salt cooked sausages formulated with either red or green glasswort demonstrated similar textural properties to those of the control. In conclusion, the type of glasswort within an added amount of 1% had no influence on the physicochemical and textural properties of reduced-salt cooked sausages, except for the color characteristics. In terms of color alteration by the addition of glasswort, the red glasswort, which in comparison with the green glasswort could minimize the color changes of reduced-salt cooked sausages, might be an effective source for manufacturing meat products.
