Objective: Although pork loins is not a tough meat, they need to develop meat products with a soft texture for the elderly. This study focused on the physicochemical properties and tenderness characteristics of pork loin injected with green kiwifruit juice (GRJ) and gold kiwifruit juice (GOJ) during various incubation times. In addition, the antioxidant activities of hydrolysate derived from the hydrolysis of pork loin by kiwifruit juice protease were evaluated. Methods: The pork loin was injected with 10% and 20% GRJ and GOJ, under various incubation times (0, 4, 8, and 24 h). Then, the physicochemical properties and tenderness of pork loins were measured. 2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and reducing power were conducted to determine hydrolysate's antioxidant activities derived from pork loin's hydrolysis by kiwifruit juice protease. Results: GRJ had greater tenderizing ability than GOJ, even at the 10% addition. When kiwifruit juice was injected into pork loin, the tenderness increased with increasing incubation time. This was confirmed by the decrease in intensity of the myosin heavy chain (MHC) band in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In particular, the MHC band decreased at 8 h for both 10% GRJ and 20% GOJ and at 4 h for 20% GRJ alone. The highest myofibril fragmentation index and peptide solubility were observed in pork loin treated with 20% GRJ compared to the other treatments during incubation. The 10% GRJ and 20% GOJ treatments showed similar levels of antioxidant activity of the protein hydrolysates in pork loin, and 20% GRJ showed the highest activity among the treatments. Conclusion: Kiwifruit juice had protease activity, and GRJ was more useful for tenderizing meat products than GOJ. Thus, GRJ at 10% could be a potential agent to tenderize and enrich the natural antioxidant activity through the proteolysis of pork loin.

Bromelain has been used as a meat-tenderizing agent in food processing. To increase the availability of bromelain, microencapsulation into liposome was carried out by the dehydration and rehydration method. Small unilamellar vesicles prepared by sonication treatment showed higher encapsulation efficiency (EE) than by the French press method. In the preparation of liposome, the effect of pH and centrifugal force on EE was also investigated and it showed a higher EE at acidic pH than at alkaline pH with centrifugation at 80, 000$\times$g. The actual EEs except unencapsulated bromelain which bound on the outside surface of liposome by electrostatic interaction also were investigated, and the optimal EE was at pH 4.6, at 0.6 of a ratio of bromelain to phosholipid(18.2%, w/w). Release of bromelain from liposomes was stimulated as the temperature increased at neutral pH.

Bromelain(EC 3.4.22.4), the collective name for the proteolytic enzymes found in tissues of the plant family Bromeliaceae(pineapple), has been used as a tenderizing agent in food processing, and as an antiinflammatory agent in pharmaceuticals. In this paper, we describe the simple purification method of bromelain using Korean pineapple fruit. After removing contaminants at 30% saturation of ammonium sulfate, the supernatant obtained was treated again with ammonium sulfate to 80% saturation. Wit the above salt fractionation, partially purified bromelain could be obtained. To get highly purified bromelain, the previous 30% to 80% ammonium sulfate treated precipitate was dialyzed against 25mM sodium acetate buffer(pH 5.0) followed by passing through a CM- cellulose cation exchange column. Fruit bromelain was eluted as a major peak at 0.5~0.8M NaCI gradient. The present method is simpler with high wield than the traditional purification method-acetone treatment and several consecutive chromatographic processes.

본 연구에서는 단백질분해효소활성이 있는 느티만가닥버섯을 분말 시료화하여 pH, 염도, 온도에 따른 단백질분해효소활성의 변화와 시료 첨가량에 따른 소고기의 육질 변화를 분석하였다. 느티만가닥버섯과 키위의 단백질분해효소 활성을 분석한 결과 느티만가닥버섯은 3.8 unit/ml, 키위가 2.4 unit/ml로 나타났다. 느티만가닥버섯과 키위 시료를 첨가량별로 소고기에 첨가하였을 때 키위 시료를 첨가한 소고기의 pH는 감소하고 가열감량은 증가한 반면 느티만가닥버섯 시료를 첨가한 소고기의 pH는 첨가량의 증가에 따라 높아졌으며 가열감량은 감소하였다. 절단강도는 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며 색도에 있어서 L, a, b값 모두 첨가량이 많아질수록 감소하여 느티만가닥버섯의 소 우둔살에 대한 연육효과를 확인하였다. 느티만가닥버섯과 키위 시료를 첨가하여 관능적 품질을 살펴본 결과 느티만가닥버섯 시료의 첨가량이 증가할수록 연육정도에 대한 기호도가 높아졌고 대조구 및 키위시료 첨가구에 비해 전체적인 기호도가 높았다. 조건에 따른 느티만가닥버섯 시료의 단백질분해효소 활성은 pH는 2 이하, 50 ℃ 이상에서 효소활성이 감소하였고 염농도 조건에서는 1 M 이상부터 서서히 떨어지는 경향이었다. 위의 결과로써 질긴 육류를 조리할 때 키위 등 과실 연육재료 대체용으로 느티만가닥버섯이 활용될 가능성이 있음을 보였다.

고기는 그 품질은 논할 때 tenderness가 주요 항목이 된다. 따라서 외국에서는 일찍부터 meat tenderizer의 개발이 활발하게 이루어져 plant origin proteolytic enzyme이 많이 이용되어 왔다. 우리나라에서는 오랫동안 역우(役牛)로써 사용되어온 소를 도살하여 우육(牛肉)을 공급하는 비율이 크므로 질이 낮은 우육(牛肉)을 이용할 때는 특히 meat tenderizer의 이용이 바람직하다고 생각된다. 이러한 관점에서 보다 효과적이고 가격이 저렴한 meat tenderizer의 제조가 요청되므로 본 연구실에서는 그 제조연구를 위한 조사연구로 시판(市販) meat tenderizer의 연육효과에 대하여 검토하여 보았다. 1. Commercial meat tenderizer의 protein함량은 4.9%(Kjeldahl법(法))로 $E^{1%}_{1cm}\;basis$로 계산하면 $1{\sim}2%$에 지나지 않았다. 2. 기질과 연육소의 비율이 4 : 1, 온도가 $40^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 연육효과를 인정할 수 있었다. 3. 시판(市販) meat tenderizer의 substrate-selectivity는 $casein{\gg}$ water-soluble muscle protein> myofibrillar protein의 순으로 보다 개량된 meat tenderizer의 제조가 요구된다고 생각되었다.

A method for the process of making fig conserves to prevent the denaturation of ficin (EC3.422.3) that is a proteolytic enzyme in fig (Fixus carica L. ) has been developed. The suutable composition ratio of materials such as, fig, sugar, citric acid and potassium sorbate, to make fig conserves was 1,000, 600 , 1.0 and 0.67g , respectively. to maintain the ficin activity, it was necessary that these materials were heated on 55$^{\circ}C$ and concentrated in the reduced pressure. At a result of sensory evaluation , meat treated with fig was the softest among samples. Then the treated beef with 55$^{\circ}C$ converse, 7$0^{\circ}C$ conserves, sugar and control have been shown the decreased rate respectively. There was significantly different in the effect of tenderness between each group(0.1%) . The nitrogen content of connective tissue was relatively low in the groups of the treated beef with fig and 55$^{\circ}C$ converses, 7$0^{\circ}C$ converses sugar and control , which was similar to the order of the ficin activity. This research revealed that the constituent protein of meat muscle was decomposed by ficin and its solubility was relatively higher than before.

This study was conducted to investigate the proteolytic properties of Sarcodon aspratus on meat proteins. The analytical condition for the measurement of enzyme activity was determined and the effect of Sarcodon aspratus on beef protein and its fractions were determined by SDS-PAGE and spectrophotometric method, respectively. Optimum temperature and pH of Sarcodon aspratus was $73-78^{\circ}C$,pH 8, respectively. However, the enzyme tended to be denatured at $50^{\circ}C$ for 10min incubation. Proteolytic activity of Sarcodon aspratus was higher than those of kiwi and pear by 66 and 990 times by dry weight, respectively. It was appeared that proteolytic activity of Sarcodon aspratus toward beef protein by SDS-PAGE was prominent when compared to those of kiwi and bromelain. Furthermore, Sarcodon aspratus showed highest proteolytic activity toward all the beef protein fractions, which was followed by collagenase and bovine protease. Transmission electron microscopy showed the muscle fiber started to be degraded when treated with Sarcodon aspratus(1,000 unit) for 10min at $25^{\circ}C$. No distinct sarcomere, A-band, and z-line was observed when treated with Sarcodon aspratus for 60min at same condition.

전기자극 처리는 도체의 온도가 저하되기 전 사후강직에 도달하게 하여 저온 단축을 줄이는 효과와 함께 연화 시작점을 빠르게 하여 근섬유 분해속도를 증가시킨다고 보고되고 있다. 전도체 또는 반도체에 전기자극을 한후 냉각을 했을 때 근육의 종류와 부위에 따른 사후 대사/강직/냉각의 속도가 각기 다르기 때문에 국소 전기자극기 같은 처리와 전기자극 효과의 그 직접적 기능 및 상대적 중요성은 앞으로 많은 연구를 필요로 하고 있다. 결론적으로 각각의 실험 조건과 방법이 달라 대폭 그 결과가 달라짐으로써 직접적인 비교가 어려웠다는 점을 강조하고 싶다.

This study was performed to improve the techniques used for tenderizing red meat as elderly food. Beef meat was immersed in liposome encapsulated enzyme solution and the effect of protease encapsulation on the beef properties was analyzed. The protease encapsulation properties were analyzed according to the size distribution and enzymatic activity. After enzyme reaction on the beef, the chemical properties of the meat such as pH, water holding capacity, shear rate, lipid oxidation and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) were analyzed. The pH of the beef increased during the reaction and coating protease (CP) was higher than non-coating protease (NCP). Total color differences were increased remarkably after 36 h and generally, the difference in CP was relatively lower than in NCP. WHC was significantly decreased within 24 h, and no effect from the protease coating was observed. Protease activity was significantly increased within 48 h and no differences in the enzyme coating were observed. The TVB-N value of NCP was increased within 24 h while CP was sustained for up to 36 h. The TVB-N value of protease treated meat increased after 36 h and no effect from the protease coating was detected. Consequently, liposome encapsulated protease was found to have similar properties as non-coated protease. Application of liposome seems to be an interesting option for injecting various functional materials without changing the properties of meat.
