  • To investigate the effect of sugar and drying method on quality and storage characteristics of beef jerky, storage, textural and sensory characteristics were examined. Water activity was decreased as storage time was prolonged and the honey and rice syrup-added natural dried samples(N-H, N-R) were recorded the lowest value, 0.71 at five weeks of storage. During the storage period, pH values of all the samples were decreased and honey-added and heated air dried beef jerky(H-H) had the lowest pH value, 5.22. L, a, b values had a tendency to decrease, during the storage period. During the storage period, TBA values of all samples showed increasing tendency. Sugarsyrup-added samples(N-S, H-S, S-S$\^$*/) had the lowest TBA value, and those of honey-added samples(N-H, H-H, S-H$\^$**/) were highest, regardless of drying method. Total plate counts of bacteria and the number of lactic acid bacteria were increased as storage time was prolonged. Sugar syrup-added and heated air dried beef jerky(H-S) had the lowest in total plate counts of bacteria and the number of lactic acid bacteria, at five weeks of storage. Textural properties value of all samples were increased as storage time was longer. Honey-added samples showed the higest springness and cohesiveness value and sugarsyrup-added and natural dried sample showed the highest value in chewiness, gummness and hardness. In the almost sensory score of natural dried beef jerky was decreased asstorage time was prolonged, regardless of packaging method.

  • The aims of this work were to compare the effects of dehairing methods and sex on pork quality and cold storage stability. For this study, one half of40 pigs were dehaired by scalding in the same abattoir, and the other half by dehiding. Each treatment consisted of one half gilts and one half castrated male pigs. Meat quality traits were measured at 24 hr after slaughter, and thiobarbituric acid (TBA), metmyoglobin contents and total plate counts (TPC) were evaluated at 1, 7, 14 and 21 days of cold storage. The carcass weight and backfat thickness of pigs dehaired by scalding were significantly higher than those dehided (p<0.05). Compared to scalded carcasses, dehided carcasses had a lower longissimus dorsi muscle temperature (p<0.05). Furthermore, dehided carcasses had significantly lower drip loss than scalded carcasses (p<0.05). However, meat color parameters were not affected by the dehairing method. During cold storage, TBA values of scalded carcasses were slightly higher initially, whereas the dehided carcasses had higher TBA values at 21 days (p<0.05). The total plate counts (TPC) associated with scalding and dehiding treatment were not significantly different at any point during cold storage. The TPC exponentially increased in both scalded and dehided carcasses from 7 to 14 days of cold storage.

  • The objective of this study was to determine the shelf-life effects and residual nitrite content of emulsified sausages added with pine needles during cold storage. The sausage consisted of four types: no pine needles added (control), pine needle juice added (T1), ethanol extract of pine needles added (T2), and boiling extract of pine needles added (T3). Each sausage type was tested in triplicate and assigned to one of four storage periods: 0, 10, 20, or 30 d. As storage time increased, the presence of pine needles resulted in decreased pH, meat color (CIE $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$), residual nitrite value, and increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values and total plate counts (TPC). Values for pH, TBARS, residual nitrite, total plate counts and CIE $L^*$ and $a^*$ decreased significantly with added pine needles relative to the control (p<0.05). In particular, T2 was significantly (p<0.05) more effective for delaying lipid oxidation than the other treatment groups. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that adding an ethanol extract of pine needles (T2) to emulsified sausages tended to improve antioxidative and antimicrobial effects and reduce residual nitrite content during storage compared to the other treatment groups.

  • The objective of this study was to determine the shelf-life effects and residual nitrite contents of mugwort and pine needle extracts addition in emulsified sausage during cold storage. The sausages were of five types: no mugwort and pine needle extracts added (Control), mugwort water extract added (T1), mugwort ethanol extract added (T2), pine needle water extract added (T3), and pine needle ethanol extract added (T4). Each sausage type was tested in triplicate and assigned to one of four storage periods: 0, 10, 20 and 30 days. As storage time increased, the presence of mugwort and pine needle extracts resulted in decreased pH, CIE $L^*$, and residual nitrite value, but increased TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) values, and total plate counts (TPC). Values for pH, TBARS, residual nitrite contents and total plate counts were significantly decreased by the addition of mugwort and pine needle extracts compared to the control (P<0.05). Among all treatments, T4 was more (P<0.05) effective in delaying lipid oxidation compared to other treatment groups. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that addition of pine needle ethanol extract to emulsified sausages tended to improve antioxidant and antimicrobial effects and residual nitrite contents during storage than other treatment groups.

  • Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the hygienic state and awareness of drink vending machines in a city. Methods: Twelve of the most frequently used vending machines in various areas were selected in October 2008. As soon as fresh samples of milk coffee and adlay tea were collected in sterile containers from each machine, the temperature was measured. The samples were carried on ice to the laboratory to test total plate counts and Escherichia coli contamination. College students were inquired about drink vending machine hygiene by implementing self-developed questionnaires. Results: The temperature of 6 milk coffee samples (50.0%) and 8 adlay tea samples (66.7%) turned out to be inadequate. The total plate counts of milk coffee samples were all adequate, although 9 adlay tea samples (75.0%) were inadequate. All the beverage samples were negative for E. coli. In questionnaires obtained from 74 users of coffee vending machines, only 2 (2.7%) expected the hygienic state of vending machines to be good. There were 27 people (33.3%) that knew the existence of hygiene-related laws for vending machines. Conclusions: This study reveals that the hygienic state of drink vending machines insufficiently reaches the standard for the hot beverage and that most people are not aware of importance of vending machine hygiene. It is necessary to make improvement in the hygiene of vending machines and public awareness in this city.

  • Distribution of pathogenic vibrios in the seawater of live fish tank and effect of environmental factors on their existence were investigated by collecting samples from fish markets and restaurants in 6 different cities. Pathogenic vibrios and coliforms were determined by using the most probable number (MPN) procedure, and aerobic plate count was enumerated by the standard pour plate method. No Vibrio chulerae O1 was detected in all the samples tested. Detection rates of V. cholerae non-O1, V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus in all the smaples tested were 7.7%, 69.2% and 23.1%, respectively. Water temperature and trubidity of the seawater measured were higher in the pathogenic vibrios positive samples than in those negative samples. However, higher salinity and pH were shown in the pathogenic vibrios negative samples than in positive samples. The aerobic plate counts and MPN or total and focal coliforms in the seawater were higher in the presence of pathogenic vibrios than in the absence of pathogenic vibrios. In this study, the presence of pathogenic vibrios in the seawater tested was closely related with other physiochemical parameters and populations of coliforms, indicators far food safety.
