The wienner sausage(natural casing, N), wienner sausage(collagen casing, C), frankfurter sausage(F) and can products[spam(S), luncheon meat(L), jangjorim(J)] were obtained from different Korean meat processing companies and investigated for their salinity, saccharinity, pH, moisture and fat content, meat color and sensory evaluation. In sausage products, the saccharinity percent ranged 4.9∼5.0 in N, 6.6∼8.0 in C, and 5.2∼6.5 in F. The salinity percent of C and F were slightly higher than that of N. The pH values of all sausage product were above 6.0. The L＊ values of N were ranged 49.8∼56.7, which were slightly lower than those of C and R The sausage with high content of crude fat and high L＊value earned the highest score in overall acceptability. In can products, saccharinity percentage was higher in J compared to the S and L. The salinity percentage of S was slightly higher than those of Land J. In meat color, L＊ and a＊ values were not different between S and L, although b＊ value of L was slightly higher than that of S and J. There were not significantly different among can products, however, the product containing low-salt had the highest score in overall acceptability.

This experiment was conducted to study occurrence of N-nitrosamine (NA) and its precursors such as nitrate and nitrite. For the experimental samples, 26 kinds of commercial hams and 30 kinds of sausages produced in Korea were purchased. The nitrate and nitrite were positive in all of the collected samples; nitrate levels were by average 4.4~9.2 mg/kg and nitrite ones were by average 1.3~3.6 mg/kg. The contents of nitrate and nitrite were detected higher in sausage than in ham. Especially, nitrate contents were contained higher in lyoner sausage prepared with the mixture of meat and fish, while nitrite contents were contained higher in the meat only mixture. N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) among the analyzed 7 kinds of NA was detected only in ham and sausage; its contents were outstanding in lyoner sausage which was prepared with only meat and pork sausage, and then regular ham was the next one in its order, but its contants were detected by average $<0.5\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$ in press hams added vegetable.

This study investigated the effect of the addition of various levels of pig head meat (HM) as a substitute for rear leg meat (RLM) on the physico-chemical quality characteristics of non-emulsified, smoked, and cooked sausage during refrigerated storage. Sausages were prepared in four variations according to the proportion (0%, 10%, 20%, or 30%) of HM added and maintained at 4℃. Quality measurements were taken for 28 days. The sausages added with the addition of 20% and 30% HM had significantly (p<0.05) higher moisture and lower protein content compared to those without the addition of HM. The pH value during the storage period was higher (p<0.05) in the sausages to which the HM had been added than in those without HM. The sausages with 30% HM showed the lowest (p<0.05) L⁎ and b⁎ values and the highest (p<0.05) a⁎ value during the storage period. The 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) content, hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness of the sausages showed no significant variations with the addition of various levels of HM. These data suggest that RLM could be substituted with 30% HM because it does not negatively affect the quality of the non-emulsified sausage. However, a further study on sausages made with 100% HM instead of RLM may be needed to improve its utilization.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of drip addition on quality and sensory characteristics of pork sausage. The pH of pork sausage was not affected by addition of nitrite or drip. Hunter's "a" value of pork sausage nitrite added was higher than pork sausage none added nitrite. The remained content of nitrite in nitrite added pork sausage was not over the permitted value(70ppm). The hardness, springiness, chewiness and brittleness of pork sausage added drip was higher than pork sausage none added drip. The free amino acid content was higher in pork sausage prepared by addition of nitrite and drip. The sensory value was not different between samples. The VBN, TBARS and total plate count during storage was low in pork sausage prepared by addition on nitrite. There, the drip was desirable to use in preparation of meat product.

This study was conducted to calculate and predict the shelf-life of meat sausage through physicochemical and biological analysis. Judging from physico-chemical components, it can be found out the most effective indicator in meat sausage. And also, the materials used for packaging is cellulose #23 in inner-packaging and CN/HDPE laminating film in outer-packaging. The changes of the most effective indicator were discussed through the method of kinetic analysis. Judging from physico-chemical components, VBN was the most available component in quality judgement of meat sausage and their upper limiting contents were 20 mg%. It is possible to calculate and predict the shelf-life of meat sausage through the regression equation and $Q_{10}$ value. As a result, the shelf-life prediction was $58{\sim}63$ days at $10^{\circ}C$, $47{\sim}51$ days at $20^{\circ}C$ and 26 days at $40^{\circ}C$, respectively, but the difference between two methods showed about $4{\sim}5$ days. $Q_{10}$ value on the changes contents was 1.35 at acceralated temperature $40^{\circ}C$. The reaction rate of VBN contents could be interpreted as a first order reaction that divided into 2 periods with different reaction rate constants. The corresponding Arrhenius activation energies were 2.959 Kcal/mole and 3.632 Kcal/mole, respectively.

This study aimed for the examination of quality characteristics and safety of potassium sorbate-free meat products. Therefore, experiments were carried out on the frankfurter sausage and pressed ham, which were stored at 4 and 30$^{\circ}C$ for up to 40 days. The potassium sorbate concentrations of the frankfurter sausage and pressed ham obtained from local market ranged from 1.087 to 1.449g / kg, which were below the permitted value as prescribed in the Korean Hygienic Regulation. At the 0 day the total aerobic bacterial counts of frankfurter sausage and pressed ham were in the level of around 103.0 and 103.4 CFU / g, respectively. However, they were prominently increased after 20 days at 4$^{\circ}C$ and 10 days at 30$^{\circ}C$ to higher than 105 CFU / g. After 30 days the counts were increased to 106.5 and 107.2 CFU / g, respectively. The growth curve of lactic acid bacteria was shown to be similar with that of total bacteria. the counts of lactic acid bacteria of the products stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ were 101∼102 CFU / g lower than those stored at 30$^{\circ}C$. Coliform bacteria was not detected in both of the products stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ even after 40 days storage, but after 10 days at the 30$^{\circ}C$. No significant differences in the microbial counts examined in this study were observed between frankfurter sausage and pressed ham. The biochemical tests on the isolated colonies from Clostridein agar showed no presence of Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium perfringens in the meat products examined. The pH of frankfurter sausage and pressed ham at the beginning was about 6.6, which level was maintained relatively constant during the storage at 4$^{\circ}C$, but it was increased after decrease to about 5.5 during the storage at 30$^{\circ}C$. TBA value was increased slightly till 30 days, but after that time increased sharply. VBN value was increased slowly during the whole storage, but it was more than 30 mg% for the samples stored at 30$^{\circ}C$.

This study was carried out to compare the textural properties of crab-flavored sausage manufactured with six different formulations. We prepared crab-flavored sausage from Alaska pollack surimi as a control by the washing method, and various mixtures of surimi and chicken breast meat were manufactured (pH 11.0) with 33.33% chicken breast meat (CBM) (T1), 50% CBM (T2), 66.66% CBM (T3), 100% CBM (T4) and 20% commercial mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM) (T5). Brittleness, gumminess, chewiness, breaking force, gel strength, jelly strength, sensory flavor. texture, and overall acceptability were significantly lower in the formulations containing chicken meat in proportion to the % CBM (p<0.05). However, cohesiveness and springiness were significantly higher in the formulations containing chicken meat in proportion to the amount of CBM (p<0.05). Folding test and deformation values were significantly lower in the surimi manufactured with CBM at pH 11.0. although T5 showed no significant differences relative to the control. Overall, these results indicate that similar textural properties in the crab-flavored sausage were attained when surimi was prepared with 20% CBM and MDCM.

In this study, the effects of kimchi powder on the quality properties of an emulsion type sausage made with irradiated pork meat were investigated. Raw ground pork ham was gamma-irradiated at 5 and 10 kGy, and the emulsion type sausage was then manufactured with the irradiated pork meat. The pH value was shown to increase by irradiation of raw material (p<0.05). Samples containing kimchi powder had a lower pH value than other treatments, but no significant differences were observed. In a sensory evaluation, the scores of all the criteria were decreased with an increased irradiation dose of raw material, but samples containing kimchi powder had a higher sensory score than other treatments in all irradiation doses of raw material. The TBARS values were increased by irradiation of raw material and the samples containing kimchi powder had the highest value (p<0.05). Odor substances analyzed by an electronic nose were increased with increased irradiation dose of raw material in all treatments, and samples containing kimchi powder showed a higher increase of odor substances than other treatments. Thus, this study demonstrated that kimchi powder was effective in eliminating the off-odor and flavor of sausages made with irradiated pork meat despite the increase of the TBARS value.

This experiment aims to observe the nutritive value of blood sausages by manufacturing three kinds of them in order to utilize various by-products of swine when it is processed. In attempt to do so, five different diets were made: one control diet and four diets in which three kinds of blood sausages(blood sausage-1 was made with sausage meat 10%, fat 40%, blood 20%, skin 20% and liver 2%. blood sausage-2 was made with ham meat 30%, fat 20%, blood 20%, liver 2% and skin 20%. blood sausage-3 was made with smoked ham patch 30%, fat 20%, blood 20%, liver 2% and skin 20%) and mixed sausage(sausage meat 20%, fat 10% and fish meat 35%) were mixed with control diet at the rates of 10% respectively. These diets were fed to growing male and female albino rats for 6 weeks. The results obtained through this study are summarized as follows. In body weight gain of male rats, blood sausage-1 and 2 groups were significantly higher than mixed sausage group during the experimental period, and in that of female rats, control group and blood sausage-1 group were similar, but the other groups were lower than control group. Food intake was different in each group every week, but the amount of that was similar to each one throughout all experimental period. Food efficiency ratio and protein efficiency ratio in male were similar in each group, but slightly different in female during the feeding period. Liver weights of male in mixed sausage group and blood sausage-3 group were lower than those in control group and blood sausage-2 group, but liver weight of female in blood sausage-2 group was lower than that in control group. And all groups were similar in liver weight per 100 g of body weight. Mixed sausage group and blood sausage-1 group were lower than control group in kidney weight of male, and blood sausage-1 group was lower than control group in kidney weight of female. Kidney weight per 100 g of body weight of male showed that blood sausage-1 group was lower than the other groups. Spleen weight was similar in all groups. Hematocrit and hemoglobin contents in blood, total protein, albumin, albumin/globulin ratio, total lipid and total cholesterol contents in serum were showed almost similar in all groups.

Low-fat sausages with or without 10% hydrated rice flour were made from duck, chicken and pork and their physical and sensory properties were compared. Results showed that moisture content did not differ significantly among the sausage batters. However, crude protein, crude fat and total ash content were significantly lower in the group with added rice flour compared with the no flour group. Crude protein and crude fat were the highest in pork sausages without rice flour (p<0.05). Adding 10% rice flour reduced total expressible fluid in all meat type sausages. Cooking loss was also decreased when 10% rice flour was used in making sausages from chicken and pork. However, no changes in cooking loss were found in duck meat by adding rice flour. Again, the highest cooking loss was in pork sausages without rice flour and lowest in chicken sausages with 10% rice flour. The pH of the meat from different animal species differs significantly, although no significant difference was found within meat types with or without rice flour. Lightness ($L^*$) increased, while redness ($a^*$) decreased with adding rice flour in all meat type sausages. Results showed that hardness was significantly reduced when 10% rice flour was added to pork, chicken and duck meat (p<0.05). This may be due to increased water retention of rice flour after cooking. Sensory evaluation indicated that the overall acceptability of pork and chicken sausages with or without rice flour was the same, but duck sausages without rice flour had the highest off-flavor score among the sausages. Addition of rice flour increased the overall acceptability of duck sausage to that of pork and chicken sausages.
