We studied effects of aging methods and temperature on the physical, chemical, and amino acid composition of pork belly from Berkshire and Landrace×Yorkshire×Duroc (LYD) swine. Pork belly samples were assigned randomly to breed groups (Berkshire and LYD), aging temperature groups (0℃ and 9℃), and aging method groups. One samples of vacuum-packaged hanging pork bellies were hung in a refrigerated cooler with 83±2.0% humidity, while the other samples were immersed in a 3.5% salt solution in a vacuum package and subsequently stored in the same cooler for 2 weeks. LYD pork had lower pH and purge loss and higher lightness values than those of Berkshire pork (p<0.05). Moreover, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and hardness values of LYD pork were lower than those of Berkshire pork after aging (p<0.05). Berkshire pork had a higher level of flavorful amino acids than LYD pork did during aging (p<0.05). Bellies aged at elevated temperatures for two weeks had higher volatile basic nitrogen. However, significantly higher percentages of flavorful and sweet taste amino acids were observed in bellies aged at 9℃ compared to those aged at 0℃ for 2 weeks. Moisture content was higher in immersed samples than hanging samples after two weeks of aging (p<0.05). Hanging pork bellies exhibited higher texture profiles than immersed pork bellies at two weeks (p<0.05). We concluded that breeds, aging temperature, and methods affected most quality attributes of pork belly.

This study was conducted to assess meat quality and sensory properties of pork bellies from immunocastrated males (IC) compared to meat from surgically castrated males (SC), intact males (IM), and females (FE). Pork bellies from IC had significantly higher pH values than meat from either SC or FE. Pork bellies from IC showed lower CIE $L^*$ values than those from SC, but were redder (higher CIE $a^*$ values) than meat from SC or FE. However, no differences in visual color were observed between pork bellies from IC and SC pigs using National Pork Producer Council scales. Water holding capacity was higher in SC and FE than that in IC. IC showed no significant difference in cooking loss and shear force values compared with those of SC. Both SC and IC had improved fat content when compared to that in IM, and IC meat showed a similar fat content to that of FE. Pork bellies from IC showed higher ratings for all visual evaluation traits than those of SC and were the same as meat from FE. Boar odor was not significantly different among the treatments. IC was rated similar to SC for taste, tenderness, and overall acceptability.

This study was conducted to determine the meat quality characteristics of pork belly from 3 different two-way crossbreeds of Yorkshire${\times}$Landrace (YL), Yorkshire${\times}$Berkshire (YB), and Yorkshire${\times}$Chester White (YC), which were domesticated for Korean consumers. Twenty pigs from each crossbreed (total n=60) were randomly selected when they reached the 110-120 kg range of market weight, slaughtered, and cooled at $0^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The pork bellies on the left side of the cooled carcasses were then sampled and analyzed. The pH of pork bellies was the lowest in YC among the crossbreds. There was no significant difference in fat content by crossbred, but YB bellies had the lowest moisture content (p<0.05). The cooking loss of YB bellies was lower than those of others (p<0.05). The TBARS values in YB was significantly higher than those of the others at 14 d. YL bellies had a higher percentage of stearic acid, oleic acid, and MUFA than the other breeds, while YB and YC had a higher percentage of myristic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and n-6 fatty acids than the YB (p<0.05). PUFA content and P/S were significantly higher in YC compared with YL. Except for arginine, the concentrations of most free amino acids were higher in YB bellies than in others, (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation scores of bellies were higher for YC than for other breeds (p<0.05).

Objective: Pork belly is considered as the most commercially important and preferable primal cut by consumers worldwide. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the effects of fat levels on the meat quality characteristics of pork bellies. Methods: Seventy-eight growing-finishing pigs collected from different commercial pig farms were slaughtered and used in the present study. After slaughter 24 h, bellies were fabricated according to the Korean Pork Cutting Specification, and immediately sampled for analysis of their fat content. Based on the fat levels, the bellies were segregated into three different groups: low fat (LF, fat ≤20%, n = 15), medium fat (MF, fat 21% to 30%, n = 30), and high fat (HF, fat ≥31%, n = 33). The bellies were then analyzed for meat quality traits, fatty acids, flavor compounds and eating quality properties. Results: The HF group had lower moisture and cooking loss levels compared to the other groups (p<0.05). The LF group presented higher proportions of polyunsaturated fatty acids compared to the other groups (p<0.05). The LF group showed higher amounts of the Maillard reaction-derived flavor compounds (e.g., 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine, 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethyl, and 4-methylthiazole) associated with meaty and roasty flavors whereas, the HF group showed higher amounts of oleic acid- derived compounds (e.g., nonanal and octanal) associated with the fatty and oily flavors. Interestingly, significantly higher scores for all the eating quality attributes (flavor, juiciness, tenderness, and overall acceptance) were found in the HF group compared to those in the LF or MF group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The high-fat bellies (fat ≥31%) had a better technological quality and eating quality compared to the low-fat bellies (fat ≤20%). Thus, increasing the fat content may improve the technological quality and eating quality traits of pork bellies, however, this increase may also result in more trimmed loss due to excessively deposited body fat.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of microperforated film on the quality and shelf-life improvements of pork bellies during cold storage. Samples were stored for 14 days at 0$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ and 55$\pm$10% r.h.. The packaging treatments were the unpackaged sample as control, the wrapped sampled with microperforated polypropylene film(MPF) and unperforated PP film(PPF), respectively. After 10 days, the counts of all kinds of microorganisms investigated tended to be the lowest in the control samples, and followed by MPF and PPF. The 'a' value for PPF was significantly lower than the values for control and MPF at 14 day. The 'L' values for MPF measured after 10 days were significantly lower than those of PPF and higher than those for control. After 4 days of storage, the 'b' values for PPF showed significantly lower than those of MPF. As storage time elapsed, percent weight loss was the highest in the control samples followed by those from MPF and PPF. Sensory analyses showed that MPF samples tended to be evaluated higher in all parameters than the control and PPF samples after 7 days. It is concluded that microperforated film wrapping can be used efficiently for maintaining the quality of fresh pork bellies during cold storage and retail display.

삼겹살을 먹을 때, 동물성 지방의 섭취를 줄일 수 있는 효과적인 조리방법을 제시하기 위하여 삼겹살을 삶기, 찌기, 굽기 및 튀기기의 방법으로 가열조리한 후, 물리화학적 특성의 변화를 조사하였다. 가열조리에 의하여 전체적으로 수분 양은 감소하고 지질 양은 증가하였는데, 이에 따른 가열감량, 탈수량 및 탈유량은 튀기기와 삶기 처리구에서 높았다. 시료의 pH는 삶기 처리구에서 가장 많이 증가하였고, 시료로부터 추출한 지질의 산가와 굴절율은 튀기기 처리구에서 가장 많이 증가하였다. 경도, 점착성 및 저작성은 삶기에 의하여 크게 증가하였으나 튀기기 처리구에서는 크게 감소하였고, 탄력성은 삶기 처리구에서 가장 많이 감소하였으며, 응집성은 찌기 처리구에서 가장 많이 증가하였다. CIE $L^*$값은 찌기 처리구에서는 크게 증가하였지만 튀기기 처리구에서는 크게 감소하였고, CIE $a^*$값은 전체적으로 감소하였는데 삶기 처리구에서 가장 많이 감소하였으며, CIE $b^*$값은 삶기와 찌기 처리구에서는 감소하였지만 굽기와 튀기기 처리구에서는 증가하였다. 생 삼겹살 지방을 구성하는 지방산에는 oleic acid(42.4%), palmitic acid(23.9%)와 linoleic acid(16.1%)가 많았으며, 포화지방산에 대한 단일불포화지방산의 비율은 1.190 그리고 포화지방산에 대한 고도불포화지방산의 비율은 0.466 이었다. 가열조리 방법에 따른 시료의 지방산 조성은 튀기기 처리구를 제외하고는 거의 변화가 없었다. 따라서 삼겹살을 먹을 때 동물성 지방의 섭취를 줄일 수 있는 효과적인 조리방법은 삶기라고 판단된다.

This study was performed to determine the meat quality characteristics of pork loin and belly from 3 different three-way crossbred pigs: Yorkshire ${\times}$ Landrace ${\times}$ Duroc (YLD), Yorkshire ${\times}$ Chester White ${\times}$ Yorkshire (YCY), and Yorkshire ${\times}$ Berkshire ${\times}$ Duroc (YBD). Each of the twenty crossed pigs were randomly selected with their live weights at the range of 110-120 kg. After being slaughtered and cooled at $0^{\circ}C$ for 24 h in a chilling room, the parts of loin and belly on the left side of the cooled carcasses were cut and prepared for analysis. The intramuscular fat contents of the loins from YLD were higher than those of the other crossbreds (p<0.05), and the YCY bellies had the highest moisture contents (p<0.05). Water holding capacity (WHC) of the loins from YCY were higher than the other crossbreds (p<0.05). Shear force values of the YBD loins were higher than the others (p<0.05). The TBARS values of YCY loins were significantly lower than the others at 0 d, but the difference disappeared after 14 d of storage. Sensory scores of YLD were ranked higher than the YCY or YBD in both the loins and bellies (p<0.05). The relatively high sensory values of YLD crossbred pork could be explained by the better WHC, the low shear forces, and the higher fat contents. The results indicated that the meat qualities could be altered by three-way crossbreeding.

국내 소비자 기호에 적합한 한국형 비육돈 생산을 위한 국내에 보급된 돼지 품종의 육질 특성을 비교하기 위하여, Landrace(L), Yorkshire(Y), Duroc(D), Berkshire(B) 및 Chester White(C)의 다섯 가지 품종의 등심, 목심 및 삼겹살 부위에 대한 육질특성 분석 및 관능평가를 실시하였다. 등심 부위에 있어서 D품종의 지방함량이 다른 품종에 비해 높았으며, 목심과 삼겹살에서는 B품종의 지방함량이 가장 높았다. 육색에서는 C품종만이 등심과 목심 부위에서 $a^*$ 및 $b^*$값이 낮았으며, 삼겹살에서는 지방층의 간섭으로 육색지수 차이가 크지 않았다. 지방함량이 낮은 부위인 등심과 목심에서는 Y품종이 D 및 B품종에 비하여 보수력이 우수하였으나 삼겹살의 가열감량은 D 및 B품종이 낮아, 보수력이나 가열감량과 같은 물리적 특성은 부위별로 매우 다른 양상을 보였다. 삼겹살의 경우 B품종은 높은 지방함량 수치에도 불구하고 가열하여 7일간 보관한 시료에서도 낮은 TBARS값을 보였다. 지방산의 경우 품종 및 부위별로 미세한 차이만 있었으며 품종보다는 사료의 성분 차이로 사료된다. 이화학적 분석 및 관능검사를 토대로 등심에서는 D품종이, 목심에서는 B품종의 육질특성이 상대적으로 우수한 것으로 평가되었으며, 삼겹살에서는 C품종만이 열등한 것으로 평가되었다. 품종별 육질특성을 비교하였을 때 부위별 육질특성이 일치되지 않는 경향을 보였으며, 본 연구결과는 국내 소비자의 선호부위로 알려진 목심과 삼겹살 부위의 육질특성을 간주하면서도 비선호 부위로 알려진 등심의 이용도를 높일 수 있는 돼지선발 체계에 기초적 자료로 이용될 것이다.
