Although the production of dry-aged beef has been increasing, most purveyors are unaware of the changes in quality that ensue after completion of the aging period and do not adhere to specific guidelines for its packaging and storage. The objective of this study was to investigate the storage stability of vacuum-packaged dry-aged beef based on changes in microbial, physicochemical, and sensory properties during refrigeration at $4^{\circ}C$ for 21 d. The total aerobic bacterial count exceeded 6 Log CFU/g at approximately day 11 and significantly increased after day 14. Freshness indicators such as pH and volatile basic nitrogen content were acceptable until day 14 and 21, respectively. Based on the evaluation of overall sensory acceptability, the dry-aged beef was acceptable until 14 d without any sensory deterioration. Therefore, vacuum-packaged dry-aged beef could be stored for 11 d at $4^{\circ}C$ without any adverse effect on its microbial and sensory quality.

The effects of airtight containers and zipper bags on the freshness extension of pine nuts (Pinus koraiensis) were studied at 4 and $25^{\circ}C$. Changes in total microbial growth, 2-thiobarbituric acid(TBA), color, and sensory quality were evaluated during storage. Total bacterial counts of the samples continuously increased over 28 days for airtight containers and 56 days for zipper bags, and then decreased at 70 days because the lack of air could affect the inhibition of the aerobic microbial growth. However no significant differences were observed between airtight containers and zipper bags. TBA values continuously increased with storage time, but there were no significant differences between the airtight containers and zipper bags during storage. Color changes and sensory evaluation analyses showed that the data revealed similar results for both packaging systems over the storage time. Therefore, it has been concluded that airtight containers and zipper bags could be used as a good packaging system to extend the shelf life of pine nuts by controlling the microbial growth, but the packaging systems of the airtight containers and the zipper bags was not significantly affect the quality parameters for 2-thiobarbituric acid(TBA), color, and sensory quality.

Purpose: To investigate the antioxidant, physicochemical sensory, and microbial safety qualities of sunsik containing fermented Curcuma longa L. powder. Methods: Quality characteristics of samples were measured using pH, moisture content, crude ash content, color and sensory evaluation. Antioxidant activities of samples were compared using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)(ABTS) cation radical scavenging activities. Microbial safety of samples were tested for Aerobic plate counts, Salmonella spp., Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli O157:H7. Results: The pH of samples was between pH 5.51 and pH 5.64, which was significantly lower than the optimum microbial living range. The DPPH and ABTS radical activities of sunsik containing 0.8% fermented Curcuma longa L. were significantly increased compared to that of the control (p<0.05). In sensory intensities, sunsik containing 0.8% fermented Curcuma longa L. showed significantly (p<0.05) similar savoy aroma and flavor, spicy aroma, spicy hot flavor, sweet flavor, and throat swallowing values to those of the control samples. Samples of sunsik added 0.8% and 1.2% fermented Curcuma longa L. showed significantly similar overall acceptance values to those of the control. All samples tested were found to free of microbes and microbiologically safe according to the food code standards. Conclusion: The sunsik added with 0.8% or 1.2% fermented Curcuma longa L. powder were successfully developed. we conclude that the developed sunsik with the fermented turmeric powder can be potentially high value products in the highly competitive sunsik food industry.

We manufactured the sausages replaced part (8%) of the pork fat (20.8%) with pepper seed powder (1%) and pepper seed oil (7%). The treatment of pepper seed did not affect pH and microbial quality, but decreased TBARS and VBN of sausages. Although the addition of pepper seed hardly changed textural properties of sausages except for increasing cohesiveness, it enhanced sensory characteristics such as taste, appearance, and overall acceptability. As expected, significant reductions were observed in the content of calorie, total fat, saturated fat, and sodium by replacing pork fat with pepper seed oil and pepper seed powder in sausages. Therefore, pepper seed is good enough to improve the sensory and nutritional quality of sausages.

Different packaging methods and storage temperatures were tested to determine the storage stability of beef dry-aged for 21 days based on microbial, physicochemical, and sensory qualities. After completion of the dry aging, the dried surface of beef sirloin was trimmed off, and the beef was packaged using two different methods (oxygen-permeable wrap or vacuum packaging) and stored at different temperatures ($3{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ or $-23{\pm}2^{\circ}C$) for 0, 7, 14, or 21 days. Lipid oxidation and the sensory quality of the dry-aged beef were not affected by the packaging method and storage temperature during storage. No microbial growth was observed over the storage period in the vacuum-packaged dry-aged beef, regardless of the storage temperature. However, dry-aged beef in the oxygen-permeable wrap packaging showed microbial spoilage with 8.82 log CFU / g at day 7 of the refrigerated storage. The vacuum-packaged dry-aged beef showed the lowest values (p < 0.05) in $a^*$ and chroma at days 14 and 21 at $3^{\circ}C$, and days 7 and 14 at $-23^{\circ}C$, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended that dry-aged beef with wrap packaging stored in refrigerated conditions should be consumed as quickly as possible due to microbial growth. For long-term storage, dry-aged beef should be frozen because freezing can extend the color stability up to day 21 of storage without adverse effects on the hygienic or meat quality aspects of dry-aged beef.

Effect of aqueous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_{2}$) treatment on quality change of mackerel during storage was examined. Mackerel treated with 0, 5, 10, and 50 ppm of $ClO_{2}$ solution, respectively was stored at $4^{\circ}C$. $ClO_{2}$ treatment decreased populations of aerobic bacteria in mackerel during storage. The number of total aerobic bacteria of mackerel treated with 50 ppm $ClO_{2}$ increased from 2.45 to 3.44 log CFU/g after 9 days of storage, while that of the control increased from 3.47 to 4.72 log CFU/g. The pH values of mackerel increased during storage, with no significant changes among treatments. Volatile basic nitrogen values of mackerel were decreased by $ClO_{2}$ treatment. Quality of mackerel treated with $ClO_{2}$ was better than that of the control during storage based on sensory evaluation. These results indicate that aqueous $ClO_{2}$ treatment could be useful for improving the microbial safety and qualities of mackerel.

This study investigated the effects of adding oyster shell powder (OSP) from Crassostrea gigas on the food quality of Chinese cabbage Kimchi (CCK). We monitored the changes in microbial levels, pH, acidity and sensory evaluation during the fermentation of CCK treated with various contents of OSP. The microbial assay showed that adding OSP to CCK inhibited the growth of viable cells, total coliforms, and lactic acid bacteria, with the greatest growth inhibition against lactic acid bacteria over the fermentation period. After fermentation for 18 days, the lactic acid bacterial counts in CCK treated with OSP (0.3%, 0.5% and 1%) were at least 1 log CFU/g lower than those of control CCK. In addition, the pH and acidity of CCK treated with OSP were lower than in control CCK over the fermentation period. The overall sensory evaluation of CCK with 0.3% OSP was better than that of control CCK after fermentation for 24 days. In conclusion, OSP treatment, especially 0.3% OSP, enhances the food quality and extends the self-life of CCK, while minimizing the detrimental effects on its sensory characteristics.

Meat marination has been applied to improve product's physical and sensory attributes for years, but usually it is not intended to improve microbial quality of the product. Tumbling, which helps the distribution of marinade solution during processing, should enhance the action of antimicrobial agents. The objective of this study is to evaluate the combined effects of nisin, tumbling and storage time on total microflora and psychrotrophs counts on poultry. A marinade that contained acetic acid (1%) and salt (3%) with pH adjusted to 4 was developed as a standardized marinade. Drumsticks were marinated with various nisin levels (0, 50, or 100 IU/ml) combined with tumbling (0, 10, or 20 min), and then stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 18 h. The total microflora and psychrotrophs counts of the samples were evaluated after 0, 2, 4, and 7 days of storage. The results indicated that at a given storage time, the samples tumbled for either 10 or 20 min had significantly (p<0.05) lower microbial counts when compared with the samples without the tumbling treatment. The microbial counts of the tumbled samples increased as storage time increased. Microbial counts significantly (p<0.05) decreased when more nisin was increased up to the level of 100 IU/ml. In conclusion, adding of nisin at the level of 50 IU/ml with tumbling for 10 min decreased the total microflora and psychrotrophs counts of the marinated chicken broiler drumsticks.
