A total of 180 Arbor Acre broilers (35 days of age) were fed a diet containing 0%, 0.6%, 1.2%, 1.8%, 2.4% or 4.8% conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) for 3 weeks then slaughtered at week 1, 2 and 3. Thigh and breast muscles were seamed out, vaccum-packed prior to storage in a chill for days 7 to analyse thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). The accumulation of CLA in breast and thigh muscles was increased significantly (P<0.05) as the CLA level was increased, but no significant difference amongst the treatments. The contents of saturated fatty acids were significantly increased(P<0.05) with an increase of dietary CLA level, but those of unsaturated fatty acids were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The content of mono unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) was decreased as dietary CLA level increased, even though that of poly unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) had a little difference between dietary CLA level. Dietary CLA reduced the degree of lipid oxidation in raw chicken meat during storage.

The individual and interactive effects of Schisandra chinensis powder (SCP) and sodium nitrite additions on color, pH, water holding capacity, residual nitrite, 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), volatile basic nitrogen, texture properties, fatty acids, amino acids and sensory evaluation of cooked pork sausages were investigated after 20 d of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The powders (0, 0.5 and 1.0%) were added to sausages either alone or in combination with nitrite (0 and 100 ppm). SCP added-sausages showed lower $L^*$ (lightness) and W (whiteness) values, and higher $b^*$ (yellowness) values than sausage containing no nitrite, and exhibited the highest $a^*$ values at a 0.5% addition (p<0.05). Residual nitrite and TBARS values were found to be significantly reduced as the addition levels of SCP increased (p<0.05). As the addition of SCP increased, the sausage showed gradually decreased brittleness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness, while adhesiveness increased. Polyunsaturated fatty acid, n-6 and n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio concentrations were significantly higher in sausages containing SCP (p<0.05). The addition of SCP to sausage significantly (p<0.05) increased the ammonia content (by 0.5% SCP) and aromatic amino acid concentrations (by 1.0% SCP) (p<0.05). Inclusion of SCP in sausage meat resulted in a significant deterioration in quality characteristics of flavor, springiness, juiciness and overall acceptability (p<0.05). As expected, the observed changes in $a^*$, W, pH, shear force, texture property, TBARS, fatty acid, amino acid and sensory score of sausages, depended on the rate of addition of nitrite (p<0.05). These results suggest that SCP addition is not an effective way of improving the sensory evaluation of sausages, but may beneficially affect TBARS, nitrite scavenging activity, fatty acid and amino acid content in pork sausages.

This study was undertaken to elucidate the effect of DHA rich fish oil(DHA rich oil) added to different dietary fats on thrombosis and lipid peroxidation. Rats were fed perilla oil, sesame oil and beef tallow with or without DHA rich oil for 12 weeks. Bleeding time was the longest in Perilla oil groups with or without DHA rich oil. The productions of thromboxane B2(TX B2) and 6-keto Prostaglandin F1$\alpha$(6-keto PG F1$\alpha$) were the highest in Esame oil group without DHA rich oil. Bleeding time tended to be extened and group showed the most antithrombotic effect among three oil groups when DHA rich oil added. The antithrombotic effect by DHA rich oil addition seemed to be resulted from the increase of dietary n-3 fatty acid rather than DHA. And there was not the difference in antithrombotic effect between DHA and $\alpha$-linolinic acid. The level of TBARS(thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) in plasma and liver, and the activities of lipid peroxide metabolizing enzymes(catalase, superoxide dismutase and gluthathion peroxidase) in erythrocyte and liver were not affected by the dietry fat type and DHA rich oil addition, except that activity of hepatic catalase was increased by DHA rich oil addition. Therefore it revealed the DHA level added in this study seldom affected lipid peroxidation. However, it dose not conclude that DHA level of this study make low production of lipid peroxide because the peroid of our study was short.

A total of 250 laying hens were fed a diet containing 0, 1, 2.5 or 5% conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and 5% Safflower seed oil (SSO) for 5 weeks, and eggs were collected by week to analyse lipid characteristics of egg yolk. Egg yolk from CLA-fed groups showed significant increase in CLA content with increased CLA in the diet. Dietary CLA also increased the ratio of saturated fatty acids and decreased unsaturated fatty acids in the egg yolk. The proportion of myristic, palmitic, stearic and CLA were increased, while those of oleic, linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acid were decreased. The cholesterol content in egg yolk was significantly decreased by dietary CLA for 5 weeks feeding. After 7 days of feeding, 5% CLA-fed group showed the lowest cholesterol content in egg yolk. CLAfed groups showed significantly lower 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) values compared to control and SSO-fed group after 14 days of storage. No significant differences in TBARS values among CLA-fed groups were observed at the 28 days of storage. Results suggested that lipid oxidation of egg yolk during cold storage could be inhibited by dietary CLA due not only to changes in fatty acid composition but also to the high concentration of CLA in egg yolk.

The objective of this study was to determine the feeding effect of a diet containing Cordyceps with fly pupa on the changes in blood lipid profile from broiler chickens, fatty acids and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in chicken meat. A total of 360 chicks (Ross strain 308) were divided on hatch day into four treated groups with respect to a 35-day feeding regimen: T1 (control group), T2 (2.0% Cordyceps with fly pupa), T3 (3.5% Corceps with fly pupa) and T3 (5.0% Cordyceps with fly pupa). Blood triacylglyceride and total cholesterol level was significantly decreased by 5.32-10.63% and 9.23-12.62%, respectively, in groups T2, T3 and T4 when compared to T1 (p<0.05). Water holding capacity was significantly highest in T2 (p<0.05), while there were no significant differences among groups T2, T3 and T. In chicken meat, the ratio of saturated fatty acid to unsaturated fatty acid was high in the T3 and T4 groups, the ratio of n-6 to n-3 fatty acid was low in the T2, T3 and T4 groups and oleic acid (18:1n-9) was high in the T2, T3 and T4 groups, when compared to T1 (p<0.05). TBARS tended to increase according to the storage time (in days), and was significantly lower in the chicken thigh muscles with skin in groups T2, T3 and T4 as compared to T1 (p<0.05). These results suggest that a diet containing 2.0-3.5% of Cordyceps with fly pupa may decrease blood lipid and improve both the shelf-life and quality of broiler chicken meat.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of a sequencial washing of organic acid and distilled water on meat quality and the population of Escherichia coli of pork loin during cold storage. E. coli ATCC25922 was inoculated on the surface of sliced pork loin and 50 mL of 1% or 2% of organic acid and the same amount of distilled water was sprayed on the surface of pork loin. Then, physicochemical and microbial properties of pork loin were analyzed during cold storage. During storage period, lightness, yellowness and lipid oxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value) was higher than those of not treated control. However, the population of E. coli was decreased significantly in formic acid and distilled water sprayed pork loin samples. From these results, it can be considered that application of combination of washing of formic acid and water in the washing step of pig slaughter may be helpful to control the proliferation of E. coli.

We investigated the effects of newly synthesized 4-[(butylsulfinyl)methyl]-1,2-benzenediol (SMBD) on the prevention of atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. SMBD exhibited stronger inhibition of $Cu^{2+}$-induced low-density lipoprotein oxidation than that of ascorbic acid or simvastatin. Three-month-old rabbits were fed an atherogenic diet containing 0.5% cholesterol and 10% coconut oil, while other two groups were given an atherogenic diet with intravenous injection of either simvastatin or SMBD (0.33 mg/kg/day) for 4 weeks. The concentrations of plasma cholesterol and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were significantly decreased in SMBD groups, compared to the control group. Also, aortic lipid level in the SMBD group significantly lower than that in the control group. Furthermore, compared with the control group, the SMBD group significantly inhibited the increase of aortic intimal thickness by 36% via reducing of aortic reactive oxygen species and cyclooxygenase-2 protein levels. We conclude that raised antioxidant effect of SMBD results in significant prevention against hypercholesterolemia.

This study was performed to investigate the possibility of the addition of mugwort herb extract (MH) and vitamin C (VC) alone (0.05%) and in combination (0.05% each) on shelf-life of seasoned pork. The combination of VC+MH demonstrated a significant reduction in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and volatile basic nitrogen in seasoned pork. Also, the pH values, total lactic acid concentration, lactic acid bacteria count, and the sensory properties (discoloration, flavor, and overall acceptability) of seasoned pork were not significantly affected by adding MH and/or VC. All seasoned pork were rejected by sensory panel when LAB count reached levels of 5-6 Log CFU/g, TLA concentration has been above a level of 3.6-3.9 mg lactic acid/g, and pH values ranged from 5.31-5.51 (15 d). Therefore, the findings showed that spoilage of seasoned pork does not appear to be the result of lipid oxidation, but is caused by lactic acid producing bacteria which result in sour odor.

This study was carried out to determine the physicochemical, microbiological, and quality characteristics of a new type of fermented sausage manufactured by incorporating Baechu-kimchi powder and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The LAB count was at the maximum level by day nine of ripening in inoculated sausages, accompanied by a rapid decrease in the pH. The addition of kimchi powder decreased the lightness ($L^*$) and increased the redness ($a^*$) and, yellowness ($b^*$) values, while also significantly increasing the hardness and chewiness of the sausage (p<0.05). Moreover, although the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances values increased in all samples during the study period, this increase was lower in the kimchi-treated samples, indicating a reduction in lipid oxidation. Overall, our results show that the addition of Baechu-kimchi powder to sausages reduced the off-flavor properties and improved the taste profile of the fermented sausage in sensory evaluations. The GABA content of all fermented sausages increased from 17.42-25.14 mg/kg on the third day of fermentation to 60.95-61.47 mg/kg on the thirtieth day. These results demonstrate that Baechu-kimchi powder and GABA-producing LAB could be functional materials in fermented sausage to improve quality characteristics.

Purpose: Gulbi is a salted and dried yellow corvenia that is popular in Korea. In this study, yellow corvenia was vacuum-dried under two different conditions, average temperatures of $48^{\circ}C$ for 12 and 15 h and $54^{\circ}C$ for 9 and 12 h. Quality characteristics of vacuum-dried Gulbi against fresh corvenia were investigated. Methods: Moisture content, water activity, salt concentration, pH, acidity, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), and fatty acid composition of Gulbi were evaluated. Results: Moisture contents of fresh corvenia and four types of vacuum-dried Gulbi were 67.37, 31.51, 13.62, 35.17, and 10.05%, respectively. The pH values were in the range of pH 6.70-6.98. The VBN values of Gulbi vacuum-dried at the higher temperature range were greater than those of Gulbi at the lower temperature range. The TBARS of Gulbi increased after vacuum drying (p<0.05). Palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid were the main fatty acids of Gulbi. Conclusion: These results indicate that the quality of vacuum-dried Gulbi is dependent on the drying conditions including temperature and time.
