Effects of persimmon peel powder on physico-chemical properties in 60 pigs was investigated. The pigs were randomly assigned to one of the four dietary treatments: 1) Control (commercial feed) 2) T1 (commercial feed supplemented with 1% persimmon peel powder) 3) T2 (commercial feed supplemented with 3% persimmon peel powder) 4) T3 (commercial feed supplemented with 5% persimmon peel powder). In proximate composition, moisture of pork from treatment groups were decreased by addition level increased than that of control but crude fat was increased (p<0.05). Crude protein and crude ash was no significantly difference. The total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride of treatment groups was higher than that of control.. LDL-cholesterol of control was higher than that of treatment groups. The WHC (water holding capacity) of control was higher than treatment groups and shear value was higher in treatments group (p<0.05). pH was not significantly different between control and treatment groups. The hardness, juiciness and flavor of sensory evaluation were improved by treatments, especially in T3 (p<0.05). The meat color of treatment group showed whiter and redder than that of control owing to higher L/sup */, a/sup */ and b/sup */ value. In fatty acids, stearic acid contents of treatment groups were higher than that of control. The unsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid ratio of the control, T1 T2 and T3 were 1.78, 1.71. 1.69 and 1.66, respectively and control had higher than the treatment groups. The hardness, juiciness and flavor of sensory evaluation were improved by treatments, especially in T3 (p<0.05).

A total of 40 domestic-fed imported beef cattle were used to determine meat quality traits. Sirloin was taken from each 10 of Hereford, Angus, Hurray Grey(MG), Cross breed(Hereford$\times$Angus) and objective and subjective meat quality were assessed after a 7 days ageing(0$\pm$1$\^{C}$). Results showed that ultimate pH and fat hardness was not affected by breeds. MG showed a higher water holding capacity and consequently a lower cooking loss(%) than the other breeds(p<0.05). Angus sirloin was shown to be the toughest meat(assessed by WB-shear force), Hereford and MG resulted in the most tender meat(p<0.05). Objective meat color and sensory properties did not differ between the breeds. The current study indicated that the breeds had a similar characteristics in meat quality. However, further research on consumer preference including Hanwoo needs to be undertaken.

Sixteen somimembranosus muscles were seamed out from sixteen left carcasses. They were cut into $7{\times}10{\times}2cm$ pieces and mixed randomly. Samples were assigned to four treatments: (T1) soy-based sauce; (T2) Kimchi-based sauce; (T3) pickled shrimp-based sauce; and (T4) onion-based sauce. Each treatment was aged in plastic box at $1^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. These samples were vacuum-packaged after treatment with sauces and held in a chill at $1^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. The pH of aged port in general, was decreased significantly (p<0.05) with storage in all treatments. Its falling rate was the slowest in T4 of all treatments, while it was faster in T2 and T3 than in T4. The salinity of aged pork was decreased (p<0.05) for T2 with increased storage days, but increased (p<0.05) for T1. The salinity showed T2 to be significantly higher (p<0.05) than T1 and T4 on 1 day, but to be lower(p<0.05) than T1 on 28 day. The saccharinity of T3 was significantly higher (p<0.05) on 1 day than those of T1 and T4, but decreased (p<0.05) on 14 and 28 day. While saccharinity of T1 was significantly the lowest(p<0.05) of all treatments on 1 day and increased (p<0.05) with increased storage days. For T1 and T2, the WHC (water holding capacity) results showed higher (p<0.05) on 14 day than on 1 and 28 day. On 28 day, the WHC result showed T4 to be the highest(p<0.05) of all treatments, but T2 to be the lowest (p<0.05). On 28 day, the shear force results showed a big difference (p<0.05) among treatments, being in order of T4>T3>T2>T1. Panelists rated T1 as having higher(p<0.05) aroma, flavor and overall acceptability than other treatments.

A total of 120 pigs (Berkshire) were used to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with artificial culture medium of wild ginseng (CWG) on the physico-chemical characteristics of pork About $60{\pm}3kg$ pigs were randomly assigned to 4 pens based on sex and diet (C: commercial diet feed or T: commercial diet+1 L CWG per day for 70 days). Pigs were slaughtered at approximately 110 kg live weight, and proximate composition and physico-chemical characteristics were measured in pork loin. The moisture content, hardness and chewiness of pork were higher in gilt fed CWG than in gilt fed the control diet, but the water-holding capacity of pork and $L^*$ values of fat color were lower. The shear force and $a^*$ values of pork were higher in barrow fed CWG than in harrow fed the control diet. The crude fat content, hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness of pork and $a^*\;and\;b^*$ values of fat color were lower in barrow than in gilt, but the pH was higher. These results imply that the proximate composition and physico-chemical characteristics of pork could be affected by dietary supplementation with CWG and the sex of the pig, while the texture properties and at values of pork may be improved with dietary CWG.

Crossbred pigs (female, 198 days old, $102{\sim}118kg$, Tamra Marketing Farm) were fed a diet supplemented with tangerine peel fer an extended period to study its effect on the physicochemical properties and palatability of the pork. The samples for this study consisted of the pork from pigs fed a diet without tangerine peel (T0), and the pork from pigs fed a diet containing 8% tangerine peel during the entire breeding period, from early pregnancy through the finishing period (T1). The pH Hunter's $L^*$ value, water holding capacity, freezing loss, thawing loss, cooking loss, hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, sensory raw meat color and cooked meat palatability of loin and belly were not significantly different between T0 and T1 pork (p>0.05). However, the Hunter's $a^*\;and\;b^*$ value, gumminess, shear force value (SFV) and smell were significantly higher in meat from loin of T1 than T0 pigs (p<0.05). Thus T1 pork exhibited an improved SFV, DPPH reduction and aroma of cooked belly meat (p<0.05).

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of substitution of fermented king oyster mushroom (P. eryngii) by-products diet on pork meat quality characteristics, during the storage. A mixture of 40% king oyster mushroom by-products, 28% soybean meal and 20% corn was fermented for 10 d, and the basal diet was then substituted by the fermented diet mixture of up to 20, 50 and 80%, respectively. A total of 96 pigs were fed experimental diet (8 pigs per pen ${\times}$ 4 diets ${\times}$ 3 replication), and eight longissiumus (LD) per treatment were collected, when each swine reached to 110 kg of body weight. The Warner-Bratzler shear forces and cooking loss were significantly lowered in the treatments, while crude protein content and water holding capacity significantly (p<0.05) increased in the treatments than in the control group. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), at 1 d of storage, was lower in the treatments, while texture profiles and sensory evaluation did not differ between the control and the treatments (p>0.05). The pH, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), VBN and meat color in all treatments were increased as storage increased. Fermented king oyster mushroom by-products diet effects on lightness (CIE $L^*$), yellowness (CIE $b^*$) and chroma were determined, when LD muscles in T2 and T3 treatments were higher (p<0.05), up to 7 d (p<0.05). Therefore, the results indicate that the substitution of the fermented king oyster mushroom by-products diet to swine diet influenced the quality of the meat and it may be an economically valuable ingredient.

In order to improve or replace the direct addition method of nitrite and ascorbic acid, the effect of nitrite and ascorbic acid-derived gas addition on color development and physical characteristics in emulsified sausage was investigated. Nitrite (150 ppm) and ascorbic acid (450 ppm) were added directly to emulsion in the control group, but in the treatment group nitrite and ascorbic acid-derived gas was used for emulsion. In the control and treatment groups, pH values were higher than raw meat, but these values did not show significant change during the storage in both groups. In the meat color, lightness (CIE $L^*$) and redness ($a^*$) values of control and treatment groups were higher compared to raw meat. The treatment group has lower redness and higher yellowness ($b^*$) values than control group during the storage (p<0.05). However, lightness was not significantly different between control and treatment groups. The cook and storage loss values were significantly different between control and treatment groups (p<0.05), but the water holding capacity and shear force values were not significantly different between groups. These results showed that treatment of nitrite and ascorbic acid-derived gas has a similar effect to direct addition of nitrite and ascorbic acid on color development and physical characteristics in emulsified sausage. Also, these results showed that nitrite and ascorbic acid-derived gas addition may be a good possible alternative of nitrite and ascorbic acid using in emulsified sausage.

The current study was conducted to identify technology for the production of high quality pork, based on the meat consumption habits of consumers. Macsumsuk, a type of kaolinite (a clay mineral), and/or a mixture of herbs (Mori Folium, Sophorae Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix, Citri Leiocarpae Exocarpium, and Pogostemi Herba) were added to the diets of fattening pigs. Sixty barrow pigs (4 kinds of treatment ${\times}5$ pigs/treatment ${\times}3$ replicates) were randomly assigned to either the Control (no additives), T1 (3% Macsumsuk), T2 (3% Herb mixtures), or T3 (3% Macsumsuk + 3% Herb mixtures) groups, and were fed the diets for 60 d. Dressed weights were in the order of T1 ($93.40{\pm}4.68kg$) > T2 ($91.40{\pm}6.52kg$) > Control ($88.80{\pm}1.57kg$) > T3 ($86.80{\pm}2.01kg$). Back-fat thickness of the Control animals ($23.2{\pm}1.03mm$) was significantly greater than that of the various treatment groups (p<0.01). Numeric values representing the carcass yield and quality grade were higher for all the treated groups than the Control group, thought the difference was not statistically significant. Crude fat content was significantly higher in the Control group ($2.23{\pm}0.34%$) than in the treated groups (p<0.05). The addition of both Macsumsuk and herb mixtures into the diets of the pigs significantly reduced cooking loss of the pork compared to the Control (p<0.05). No statistically significant changes were observed in the shear force (average $5.87{\pm}0.54kg/cm^2$), water holding capacity (average $54.59{\pm}3.16%$), or CIE values of the pork, whereas cholesterol levels significantly decreased (p<0.01) in those fed Macsumsuk and/or the herb mixtures. No significant changes in fatty acid composition, total saturated fatty acid (SFA), total unsaturated fatty acid (UFA), or UFA/SFA ratios were observed by any of the treatments. In conclusion, the results obtained from this study suggest that the addition of Macsumsuk and/or herb mixtures into the diets of growing and fattening pigs improves the pork quality by reducing cooking loss, decreasing cholesterol content, and enhancing sensory characteristics.

Effects of fermented food waste feeds on meat quality and physico-chemical characteristics of fully grown pigs were investigated. Two treatments were tried in this study; commercial feed (control) and fermented food waste feed(FFWF). Except for much thicker backfat of control, carcass traits, carcass weight, dressing percentage, carcass grade, cooking loss, shear force, water-holding capacity, drip loss, NPPC meat color, and marbling score of commercial feed(control)- and fermented food waste feed (FFWF)-fed pigs were not significantly different. Primal cut weights and meat percentages were significantly different (p<0.05) between control and FFWF. pH of FFWF loin was significantly lower (p<0.05) than that of control. FFWF loin showed higher L*-value and lower a*-value compared to control.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Jeju island's indigenous pork fed with citrus byproducts. Samples were the Jeju island's indigenous pork loin without citrus byproduct (JNP-0) and the Jeju island's indigenous pork loin fed with 8% and 15% citrus byproducts during growing and fattening periods (JNP-1). The pH, VBN content, bacterial counts, L* value, frozen loss, thawing loss, water boiling loss, hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and shear force value were not significantly different between JNP-0 and JNP-1 (p<0.05). The TBARS, a* value, b* value, water holding capacity, and pan boiling loss of JNP-0 were significantly higher than those of JNP-1 (p<0.05), but the gumminess of JNP-1 was significantly higher than that of JNP-0 (p<0.05). For sensory characteristics, taste, flavor, juiciness, and palatability were not significantly different between JNP-0 and JNP-1, but tenderness of JNP-1 was sig-nificantly higher than that of JNP-0 (p<0.05).
