To elucidate the relationship between the arachidonic acid (AA) content and the taste of broiler meat, the effects of AA-enriched oil (AAO) supplements on the fatty acid content and sensory perceptions of thigh meat were evaluated. Four types of oil, including corn oil (CO), a 1:1 mixture of AAO and palm oil (PO) (1/2 AAO), a 1:3 mixture of AAO and PO (1/4 AAO), and a 1:7 mixture of AAO and PO (1/8 AAO) were prepared. Each type of oil was mixed with silicate at a ratio of 7:3, and added to the diet at a final proportion of 5% of fresh matter. Broiler chickens were fed these diets for 1 wk before slaughter. In thigh meat, the AA content of the 1/2 and 1/4 AAO groups was significantly higher than that of the CO group. The AA content in thigh meat (y, mg/g) increased linearly with increasing dietary AAO content (x, g/100 g of diet), according to the equation y = 0.5674+0.4596x ($r^2$ = 0.8454). The content of other fatty acids was not significantly different among the 4 diet groups. Sensory evaluation showed that the flavor intensity, umami (L-glutamate taste), kokumi (continuity, mouthfulness, and thickness), and aftertaste of the 1/2 and 1/4 AAO groups were significantly higher than that of the CO group. There were significant positive correlations between AA content in thigh meat and the flavor intensity, total taste intensity, umami, and aftertaste. These data suggest that the taste of broiler meat can be improved by the amount of dietary AA supplementation.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a value-added product concerning technological and sensory characteristics changes of the use of mechanically deboned poultry meat (MDPM) as meat replacer in lamb and mutton emulsion-type sausages (mortadella). Methods: Sausages were produced with lamb and mutton and with different contents of MDPM. Six treatments, using lamb or mutton and 0%, 30%, and 60% of MDPM in relation to the meat batter, were produced and analyzed for pH, proximal composition, calcium and residual nitrite content, water activity, 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), instrumental color and texture profile. The sensory profile of the mortadella's was also evaluated by acceptance test and check-all-that-applies (CATA) analysis. Results: The MDPM addition increased (p<0.05) fat, residual nitrite and calcium content in the all sausage formulations, but mutton sausage had (p<0.05) higher fat and lower moisture content than lamb sausage. The pH, water activity, TBARS index and color was not affected by MDPM additions, while the mutton sausages were significantly redder (higher $a^*$, $C^*$, and lower $h^{\circ}$) and darker (lower $L^*$) than lamb sausages. Adding up to 60% of MDPM reduced (p<0.05) sausages hardness and chewiness. Overall, the meat replacement by MDPM increased the sausages acceptance, but the mutton sausage with 30% of MDPM replacer were the most preferred. Consumers related that pink color, glossy appearance, poultry meat-like taste, soft texture, juicy and greasy mouth feel to all sausages contain MDPM according to CATA analysis. Conclusion: Mutton from culled ewes can be utilized for mortadella production with 30% replacement of lean mutton and fat by MDPM.

Acinetobacter strains are widely present in the environment. Some antimicrobial-resistant strains of this genus have been implicated in infections acquired in hospitals. Genetic similarities have been reported between Acinetobacter strains in nosocomial infections and those isolated from foods. However, the antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter strains in foods, such as meat, remains unclear. This study initially aimed to isolate Campylobacter strains; instead, strains of the genus Acinetobacter were isolated from meat products, and their antimicrobial resistance was investigated. In total, 58 Acinetobacter strains were isolated from 381 meat samples. Of these, 32 strains (38.6%) were from beef, 22 (26.5%) from pork, and 4 (4.8%) from duck meat. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests revealed that 12 strains were resistant to more than one antimicrobial agent, whereas two strains were multidrug-resistant; both strains were resistant to colistin. Cephalosporin antimicrobials showed high minimal inhibitory concentration against Acinetobacter strains. Resfinder analysis showed that one colistin-resistant strain carried mcr-4.3; this plasmid type was not confirmed, even when analyzed with PlasmidFinder. Analysis of the contig harboring mcr-4.3 using BLAST confirmed that this contig was related to mcr-4.3 of Acinetobacter baumannii. The increase in antimicrobial resistance in food production environments increases the resistance rate of Acinetobacter strains present in meat, inhibits the isolation of Campylobacter strains, and acts as a medium for the transmission of antimicrobial resistance in the environment. Therefore, further investigations are warranted to prevent the spread of antimicrobial resistance in food products.

This study was conducted to investigate the composition of the fatty acids in the breast meat of Red-brown Korean native chickens (KNC-R). This study used a total sample of three hundred eighty-two KNC-R (males: 190, females: 192). We used the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) method to extract the fatty acids. A 2-way ANOVA of the R program was used to assess the effects of batch and sex on each fatty acid trait. Analysis of the fatty acid in the sampled population showed that the predominant fatty acid was oleic acid (C18:1; 28.252%) which is monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), followed by palmitic acid (C16:0; 20.895%), saturated fatty acid (SFA), and two omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs): linoleic (C18:2; 15.975%), and arachidonic (C20:4; 10.541%). Indices used to evaluate the nutritional quality of fat in the diet: ratio between PUFAs and SFAs (P/S), thrombogenicity index (TI), and atherogenicity index (AI) were calculated and were 0.959, 0.814, and 0.355, respectively. Currently, meat consumers need healthier fatty acids. Therefore, information on the content of fatty acid in chicken meat is very important for meat consumers in choosing the type of the meat to be consumed.

2050년에는 증가하는 인구의 수요를 충족시키기 위해 70%의 식량이 더 필요할 것이다. 해결책 중에서는 배양육이나 청정육이 소비자를 위한 지속 가능한 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 과학자들은 줄기세포와 조직 공학 분야에서 축적된 지식과 도구를 세포 기반 고기의 개발에 활용하기 시작했다. 배양육은 몇 개의 세포로 가축 근육의 복잡한 구조를 재현하는 것이다. 세포는 배양 배지에서 배양된 후에 분열되기 시작할 것이며, 이것은 영양소와 호르몬 그리고 성장 요인을 제공한 것이다. 배양육은 도살되지 않는 것을 목표로 하기 때문에 이러한 종류의 배양에 대한 첫 번째 문제는 혈청이다. 그래서 죽은 송아지의 피로 만든 매개체를 사용하는 것은 모순이다. 그 혈청은 고가인데 배양육 생산 비용의 상당 부분을 차지한다. 배양육의 안전과 관련된 긍정적인 측면은 밀폐된 공간에서 사육되고, 비인도적 도살되는 동물로부터 생산되지 않아 발병 위험이 없어지고 예방접종, 윤리적 이슈가 필요없다는 점이다. 배양육의 생산은 환경 친화적인 것으로 제시되는데, 이는 기존의 육류 생산에 비해 온실가스를 덜 생산하고 물을 덜 소비하며 땅을 덜 사용하게 되어 있기 때문이다. 이 진전이 기존의 육류 및 육류 대체물과 비교하여 인공 육류가 경쟁력을 갖기에 충분한지 지켜볼 일이다.

Skeletal muscle is of major economic importance since it is finally converted to meat for consumers. The increase in meat production with low costs of production may be achieved by optimizing muscle growth, whereas a high meat quality requires, among other factors, the optimization of intramuscular glycogen and fat stores. Thus, research in energy metabolism aims at controling muscle metabolism, but also liver and adipose tissue metabolism in order to optimize energy partitioning in favour of muscles. Liver is characterized by high anabolic and catabolic rates. Metabolic enzymes are regulated by nutrients through short-term regulation of their activities and long-term regulation of expression of their genes. Consequences of liver metabolic regulation on energy supply to muscles may affect protein deposition (and hence growth) as well as intramuscular energy stores. Adipose tissues are important body reserves of triglycerides, which result from the balance between lipogenesis and lipolysis. Both processes depend on the feeding level and on the nature of nutrients, which indirectly affect energy delivery to muscles. In muscles, the regulation of rate-limiting nutrient transporters, of metabolic enzyme activities and of ATP production, as well as the interactions between nutrients affect free energy availability for muscle growth and modify muscle metabolic characteristics which determine meat quality. The growth of tissues and organs, the number and the characteristics of muscle fibers depend, for a great part, on early events during the fetal life. They include variations in quantitative and qualitative nutrient supply to the fetus, and hence in maternal nutrition. During the postnatal life, muscle growth and characteristics are affected by the age and the genetic type of the animals, the feeding level and the diet composition. The latter determines the nature of available nutrients and the rate of nutrient delivery to tissues, thereby regulating metabolism. Physical activity at pasture also favours the orientation of muscle metabolism, towards the oxidative type. Consequently, breeding systems may be of a great importance during the postnatal life. Research is now directed towards the determination of individual tissue and organ energy requirements, a better knowledge of nutrient partitioning between and within organs and tissues. The discovery of new molecules (e. g. leptin), of new molecular mechanisms and of more powerful techniques (DNA chips) will help to achieve these objectives. The integration of the different levels of knowledge will finally allow scientists to formulate new types of diets adapted to sustain a production of high quality meat with lower costs of production.

본 연구는 일반적인 육용계 Ross 308과 토종닭 Hanhyup-3 및 산란계 Hy-Line Brown 수평아리의 도체 특성, 계육 품질, 계육 내 핵산 관련 물질 및 관능적 특성을 비교하여 산란계 수평아리의 육용계 활용 가능성에 대해 조사하고자 하였다. 공시동물로 1일령 Ross 308 수평아리(R3), Hanhyup-3 수평아리(H3) 및 Hy-Line Brown 수평아리(HL)를 각 100수씩 배치하였으며, 품종에 대한 차이를 두어 3처리로 설계하였다. 처리구별 시험 종료일은 평균 체중이 1.5 kg에 근접한 일령(R3 35일, H3 49일, HL 84일)으로 하였다. 시험 결과, 생체중은 처리구간 유의적 차이가 없었으나 도체중 및 도체율은 R3 처리구에서 가장 높았으며(P<0.01), 부분육수율 중 가슴의 수율은 R3가, 다리, 날개 목은 HL 처리구가 가장 높았다(P<0.01). H3의 계육은 높은 pH, WHC와 낮은 가열감량을 보였으며, 색도(L^*, a^*)는 R3에서 높았다(P<0.05). 특히, 계육 내 지방 함량은 HL에서 가장 낮았다(P<0.01). 정미성 핵산 물질인 ATP, Hx, ADP, AMP 및 INO는 R3에서 많았으며, IMP 함량은 HL 계육에서 가장 많았다(P<0.05). 관능적 특성은 가금 품종에 따라 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 결론적으로, 산란계 수평아리는 낮은 지방 함량, 높은 IMP 함량 등 고유 특성의 계육을 생산하였으며, 다른 품종과 비슷한 관능적 특성을 나타내었다. 하지만, 산란계 수평아리의 육용계 활용을 위하여서는 생산성 향상, 특정 부위의 계육 생산량 개선 등 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 보여진다.

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) mRNA levels in the eyes, heart, liver and breast muscle removed from dwarf egg-type, normal egg-type and normal meat-type chicken embryos at 7, 14 and 20 days of incubation were measured. There was no influence of chicken strain on IGF-I gene expression in the eyes and liver. The IGF-I gene expression in eyes increased significantly along with the incubation period. In the liver, IGF-I gene expression at 20 days of incubation was significantly higher than that at 14 days of incubation. In the muscle, the lowest value for IGF-I gene expression was observed in meat-type chicken embryos. Regression analysis revealed that IGF-I gene expression was significantly correlated to the weights of the eyes and liver, but not the muscle. We conclude that there is little influence of strain on tissue IGF-I gene expression in chicken embryos during incubation but that tissue development in chicken embryos is nevertheless at least partly regulated by the change in IGF-I gene expression.

Wild type Listeria monocytogenes 균주에 오염된 돈육으로부터 다른 돈육, 컨베이어벨트, 스테인리스 스틸로 일정시간(30, 60, 120분)동안 접촉시킨 후 $5^{\circ}C$와 $10^{\circ}C$에서 각각의 전이율을 조하였다. $5^{\circ}C$에서 돈육에서 돈육으로 L. monocytogenes의 평균 전이율은 30분에서 120분으로 시간이 지남에 따라 0.02%에서 0.42%로 증가하였고, 평균 전이율은 0.284%로 나타났다. 돈육에서 컨베이어 벨트와 스테인리스 스틸로의 평균 전이율은 30분 후 각각 0.05%, 0.002%의 전이율을 나타냈으나 120분 후에는 더욱 감소하여 0.013%, 0.0003%를 나타내었다(p < 0.05). 두 조건 모두 30분에서 가장 높은 전이율을 보였으나 120분 후에는 감소하였다. $10^{\circ}C$에서 돈육, 컨베이어벨트, 스테인리스 스틸 모두 60분에서 가장 높은 전이율을 나타냈지만 120분에서는 감소하였다. 반면에 식품접촉면에서 돈육으로의 전이율은 돈육에서 식품접촉면으로의 전이율 보다 높게 나타났다(p < 0.01). 시간대별로는 30분이 가장 높았으며, 시간의 경과에 따라 감소하였고 컨베이어벨트가 스테인리스 스틸보다 전이율이 높았다(p < 0.05). 상기의 결과로부터 돈육 공정과정의 오염원에 대한 미생물학적 계량모델을 제시하여 예측모델을 검증한 결과, 대부분의 전이율 예측모델이 신뢰도가 높게 나타났으며, 개발된 예측 모델은 교차오염 발생을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper reviews the meat-type chicken breeding with local breeds in China. The quality chickens are defined as purebred final products of local breeds, and semi-quality chickens as crossbreds of local breeds with specialized broiler (sire or dam) lines from western breeding organizations. The present status of the chicken production and the market in China, in comparison with the western countries, is reviewed, indicating that there is large market demand for (semi-) quality chickens in the present and future China. Breeding for (semi-) quality chickens emphasizes the sensory quality of chicken meat. The present status of breeding for (semi-) quality chickens with the local breeds is illustrated, including breeding goals and the existing breeding programs. The potential role of local breeds in breeding programs in China is discussed in relation to both providing higher quality (than commercial hybrid broilers) of chicken meat for the local market and meeting the objectives of genetic resource conservation. Besides, further research topics on breeding for (semi-) quality chickens are suggested.
