돼지고기 목심을 섭취할 때에 동물성 지방과 콜레스테롤의 섭취를 줄일 수 있는 효과적인 가열조리방법을 제시하기 위하여 돼지고기 목심을 삶기, 찌기, 굽기 및 튀기기의 방법으로 가열조리한 후, 이화학적 특성의 변화를 조사하였다. 가열조리에 따른 가열감량, 탈수량, 탈유량 및 탈콜레스테롤양은 튀기기 처리구에서 가장 많았다. 시료의 pH는 가열 조리에 의하여 증가하였고, 시료로부터 추출한 지질의 굴절율은 튀기기 처리구에서 가장 많이 증가하였다. 시료의

To decrease the intake of animal fat and cholesterol, changes in the physico-chemical characteristics of pork Boston butts cooked by different methods (boiling, steaming, baking, and frying) were investigated. Cooking weight loss and the drain rates of moisture, lipids, and cholesterol were highest during frying. The pH value increased during all cooking processes tested. The refractive index of meat fat increased markedly upon frying. The hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of meat were notably increased by frying. Springiness was not significantly affected by any cooking process, and cohesiveness was slightly increased by all cooking methods evaluated. The CIE (lightness) value was markedly increased upon steaming, and the CIE (redness) value decreased notably with boiling or steaming. The CIE (yellowness) value decreased slightly with either boiling or steaming, and was slightly increased when baking or frying was used. The fatty acid composition did not significantly change after cooking, except when meat was fried.
