The impact of green tea extract powder and rosemary extract powder, alone or in combination, on the quality characteristics of naturally cured pork sausages produced with white kimchi powder as a nitrate source was evaluated. Ground pork sausages were assigned to one of seven treatments: control (0.01% sodium nitrite and 0.05% sodium ascorbate), treatment 1 (0.3% white kimchi powder and 0.05% green tea extract powder), treatment 2 (0.3% white kimchi powder and 0.1% green tea extract powder), treatment 3 (0.3% white kimchi powder and 0.05% rosemary extract powder), treatment 4 (0.3% white kimchi powder and 0.1% rosemary extract powder), treatment 5 (0.3% white kimchi powder, 0.05% green tea extract powder, and 0.05% rosemary extract powder), and treatment 6 (0.3% celery juice powder, 0.05% green tea extract powder, and 0.05% rosemary extract powder). Naturally cured products had lower (p<0.05) cooking yield and residual nitrite content than control sausages. However, compared to the control, naturally cured products with white kimchi powder (treatments 1 to 5) showed similar the pH, oxidation-reduction potential, CIE L^* values, CIE a^* values, nitrosyl hemochrome content, total pigment content, and curing efficiency to the control. When the amount of green tea extract powder or rosemary extract powder was increased to 0.1% (treatments 2 and 4), lipid oxidation was reduced (p<0.05). These results indicate that green tea extract powder, rosemary extract powder, and white kimchi powder may provide an effective solution to replace synthetic nitrite and ascorbate used in traditionally cured products.

In order to investigate the rheological properties of myofibrillar protein (MP) mixed with tapioca starch (TS; 0, 1, and 2%) at various salt concentrations (0.1, 0.3, and 0.45 M), viscosity, gel strength, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) were measured. Viscosity of MP increased with increasing salt concentrations (p<0.05), but not with the addition of TS. The addition of TS improved gel strength and cooking yield at all salt concentrations (p<0.05). DSC results demonstrated that the starting peak of TS gelation was observed at $55^{\circ}C$, however, no differences in peak were observed with various salt and TS levels (p>0.05). SDS-PAGE profile also showed no differences in protein bands for pork myofibrillar protein with various salt and TS levels. Based on the model study, pork model sausages with various levels of tapioca (0, 1, and 2%) and TG (1%) were manufactured. The pork model sausages with 2% TS increased pH and water holding capacity (p<0.05), while those with TGase (1%) increased most textural properties, regardless of the addition of TS. Thus, the combination of 1% TG with 2% TS improved the gel strength and water holding capacity in the meat products.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of canola and flaxseed oils on the physicochemical properties and sensory quality of emulsion-type sausage made from spent layer meat. Three types of sausage were manufactured with different fat sources: 20% pork back fat (CON), 20% canola oil (CA) and 20% flaxseed oil (FL). The pH value of the CA was significantly higher than the others (p<0.05). The highest water holding capacity was also presented for CA; in other words, CA demonstrated a significantly lower water loss value among the treatments (p<0.05). CA had the highest lightness value (p<0.05). However, FL showed the highest yellowness value (p<0.05) because of its own high-density yellow color. The texture profile of the treatments manufactured with vegetable oils showed higher values than for the CON (p<0.05); furthermore, CA had the highest texture profile values (p<0.05) among the treatments. The replacement of pork back fat with canola and flaxseed oils in sausages significantly increased the omega-3 fatty acid content (p<0.05) over 15 to 86 times, respectively. All emulsion sausages containing vegetable oil exhibited significantly lower values for saturated fatty acid content and the omega-6 to omega-3 ratios compared to CON (p<0.05). The results show that using canola or flaxseed oils as a pork fat replacer has a high potential to produce healthier products, and notably, the use of canola oil produced characteristics of great emulsion stability and sensory quality.

The application of ganghwa mugwort (GM), ascorbic acid (AC), and their combinations for reduction of residual nitrite contents was analyzed in pork sausages during storage of 28 d. Six treatments of pork sausages contained the following: Control (no antioxidant added), AC (0.05% AC), GM 0.1 (0.1% GM), GM 0.2 (0.2% GM), AC+GM 0.1 (0.05% AC + 0.1% GM) and AC+GM 0.2 (0.05% AC + 0.2% GM). Results showed that the mixture of 0.05% AC and 0.2% GM was most effective for reducing thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and residual nitrite contents than the control and GM added sausages alone (p<0.05). The color values of all treatments were significantly affected by adding GM (either alone or with AC). Additionally, the total color difference (${\Delta}E$) and hue angle ($H^{\circ}$) values of treatments added with GM were higher than those of the control as the amount of GM increased (p<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the pH values between the control and all treatments during the storage period (p>0.05). Our results showed possible applications of antioxidant combination, for preventing the lipid oxidation and decreasing the residual nitrite levels of meat products.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of emulsion-type sausage where part of the pork was substituted with horse meat during manufacturing. Three treatments of sausages were manufactured by replacing pork with 0, 50 and 100% horse meat. After manufacturing, sausages were vacuum-packaged and stored 4℃ for 1 day. An increase in horse meat resulted in higher moisture, protein content, and pH values, and lower fat content of sausage(P<0.05). However, no significant effects were observed on texture characteristics and sensory attributes of sausage. The horse meat sausage had higher K, Fe, Zn, Cu, saturated fatty acid contents than 0% horse meat level. Based on the results, it can be concluded that horse meat can be used as a meat replacer in the manufacture of emulsion-type sausages up to a level of 100%.

European style fermented sausages were made with normal pork, PSE and a 50 : 50 mixture, inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum 1-74 and Staphylococcus simulans MIII and ripened for 21 days following commercial manufacturing procedures. In all treatments, pH droped sharply between 0 and 3 days during ripening. PSE sausages showed the lowest pH and Aw at the end of ripening than other treatment groups. Protein solubility, hardness, cohesiveness and chewiness were significantly (P<0.05) low for PSE sausages. Springiness was the highest for normal sausages but the other two treatment were not different. PSE sausages had poor texture low redness value during the ripening. The added sugars apparently dropped the pH fast in PSE sausages. Total bacterial count and lactobacilli increased from 0 day to the third day of ripening. The number of Staphylococcus sp. decreased in normal sausages by the end of the ripening period. Fermented sausages with PSE meat could be produced if the mixture had lower (<50%) amounts of PSE meat. In addition, added sugar must be reduced to prevent lowering the pH to a level that will affect processing and quality attributes of fermented sausages.

Varying amount of ginseng was added to pork and chicken breast meat at various pH for a model system. Pork and chicken breast meat sausages were manufactured with 2.5% of ginseng and varying concentration of nitrite. Ginseng reduced the lipid oxidation in the pork except at pH 4.5 whereas promoted in the chicken breast meat regardless of pH. In the presence of ginseng, nitrite decreased the lipid oxidation of the sausages with increasing concentration. Cured color formation increased with an increase of ginseng upto 7.5% in the pork whereas upto 2.5% in the chicken breast meat. Redness of the pork sausage containing ginseng increased with an increase of nitrite. Lightness of the chicken breast meat sausage containing ginseng decreased with increasing nitrite level.

Objective: Curdlan has been widely used as a gelling agent in various food systems. This study was performed to evaluate the rheological properties of pork myofibrillar protein (MP) with different levels of curdlan (0.5% to 1.5%) and its application to low-fat model sausages (LFS). Methods: MP mixtures were prepared with 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% of curdlan. Cooking loss (%), gel strength (gf), shear stress (Pa), and scanning electron microscopy were measured. Physicochemical and textural properties of LFS containing different levels of curdlan were measured. Results: The shear stress of MP mixtures increased with increasing levels of curdlan. MP gels with increased levels of curdlan decreased cooking loss and increased gel strength (p<0.05). The MPs with 1.0% and 1.5% of curdlan were observed more compact three-dimensional structure than those with 0.5% curdlan. Increased curdlan level in LFS affected redness ($a^{\star}$) and yellowness ($b^{\star}$) values. Although expressible moisture of LFS did not differ among curdlan levels, LFSs with various levels of curdlan decreased cooking loss as compared to control sausages. Hardness values (2,251 to 2,311 gf) of LFS with 0.5% and 1.0% curdlan was increased and differ from those (1,901 gf) of control sausages. Conclusion: The addition of 1.0% curdlan improved the functional and textural properties of LFS.

High purity ${\gamma}$-oryzanol was obtained from rice bran and added at 0.05%, 0.10% or 0.20% (w/w) to pork sausages. Sausages containing ${\gamma}$-oryzanol showed higher CIE $L^*\;and\;a^*$ color values than the control (p<0.05). Sausages containing ${\gamma}$-oryzanol had significantly lower hardness and chewiness in textural properties than the control (p<0.05) when determined by Instron testing machine. However, there were no differences in cohesiveness and springiness between the control and the sausages containing ${\gamma}$-oryzanol. Sausages containing >0.05% of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol had significantly lower thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values than the control since 12 days of storage when sausages were aerobically stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 18 days (p<0.05). Thus, ${\gamma}$-oryzanol may have a potential application for the sausage products to inhibit lipid oxidation when used at >0.05%.

The study was performed to determine the effect of faba bean protein isolate (FBPI) alone or in combination with microbial transglutaminase (MTG) on the rheological properties of pork myofibrillar protein gel (MPG), and physiochemical and textural properties of reduced-salt, low-fat pork model sausages (LFMSs). The cooking yields of MPGs with MTG or FBPI alone decreased and increased, respectively. However, the combination of FBPI and MTG was similar to the control (CTL) without FBPI or MTG. Gel strength values of MPG added with both FBPI and MTG were higher than treatments with FBPI or MTG alone. The hydrophobicity values of CTL were lower than those of MPG with FBPI alone, whereas the addition of MTG decreased the hydrophobicity of MPGs. The incorporation of FBPI alone or in combination with MTG decreased sulfhydryl groups (p<0.05). Shear stress values of MPGs with MTG tended to be higher than those of non-MTG treatments at all shear rates, and the addition of FBPI into MPGs increased shear stress values. Reduced-salt (1.0%) LFMSs with FBPI alone or combined with MTG had both lower cooking loss and expressible moisture values than those of CTL and similar values to the reference sample (REF, 1.5% salt). Textural properties of reduced-salt LFMSs with FBPI or MTG were similar to those of REF. These results demonstrated that the combination of FBPI and MTG could improve the water binding capacity and textural properties of pork MPGs and LFMSs and might be suitable for application in the development of healthier meat products.
