동물은 마음을 갖고 있는가? 우리는 동물의 마음을 실제로 잘 알 수 없기 때문에 동물과의 관계를 통해 동물의 마음을 추정할 가능성이 높다. 본 연구에서는 동물을 사랑하는 태도와 고기를 먹는 행동에 대한 모순적 관계를 동물에 대한 마음지각의 맥락에서 두 개의 연구를 통해 검증하였다. 연구 1에서는 다양한 동물에 대한 마음지각을 경험의 차원과 주도성의 차원에서 분석하였다. 연구 2에서는 소를 고기로 기술한 실험조건과 고기가 아닌 동물로 기술한 통제조건에서 소와 성적 객체화된 여성에 대한 마음지각을 각각 측정하였다. 그 결과 연구 1에서는 동물에 대한 마음지 각의 정도가 높을수록 고기를 먹는 행동을 도덕적으로 옳지 않은 것으로 판단하는 평정점수가 높았다. 연구 2에서는 소를 고기로 기술한 실험조건에서 통제조건보다 소와 성적 객체화된 여성에 대한 마음지각이 통제조건보다 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 동물이 ‘고기’로 제시되는 상황에서는 동물에 대한 마음지각의 조정을 통해 동물을 해치는 행동에 대한 심리적 불편감을 감소시킬 가능성을 생각해볼 수 있다. 이 결과는 인지부조화이론에 따라 고기를 먹는 행동과 동물에 대한 태도의 차이에서 발생하는 심리적 불편감을 줄이고자 동물에 대한 마음지각을 조정하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 또한 동물에 대한 객체화는 인간에 대한 객체화 및 마음지각에 영향을 끼침을 추정해볼 수 있다. 이 결과는 마음지각, 인지부조화이론 및 객체화이론이 일상에서의 도덕성과 연관된 태도와 행동의 모순적 관계를 설명하는데 유용함을 보여준다.

The objective of this study was to develop a palatability index for evaluating taste quality of pork through correlation and causality between fatty acids and taste related factors. Results of analysis of the components and taste evaluation among varieties showed that the taste quality of Duroc pork was the best. A correlation was found between fatty acids and taste evaluation factors. Saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and oleic acid increased the sweetness and savory taste, the preferred flavors, while sourness and bitterness, the non-preferred flavors, decreased, and thus positively affecting the taste. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been shown to have a negative effect on taste by decreasing their preferred taste while increasing their non-preferred taste. In addition, multiple regression between fatty acid and five taste factors showed that stearic acid and oleic acid increased the sweetness and savory taste, while myristic acid decreased the bitterness. Linolenic acid was found to be negatively affecting the taste by increasing non-preferred flavors. In conclusion, SFAs, oleic acid and linolenic acid were found to be the major factors affecting the taste of pork. Therefore, the results of this study can be used as an index to produce delicious pork for pig producers as well as help consumers to trust and purchase high quality domestic pork.

In this study, the physical and sensorial properties of the meat analog were studied for the purpose of improving sensory preference and mimicking animal meat. The meat analog was made with different types of liquid materials such as oil, water, lecithin, polysorbate 80, or the emulsion of these components. At the aspect of density, the sample mixed with oil was higher than the sample mixed with water. Cooking loss value was higher at the sample with water than the sample with oil and this was the result opposite to the liquid holding capacity analysis. Also, texture profile analysis result showed that the samples with medium chain triglycerides (MCT) oil only showed the highest values in all attributes except for adhesiveness. Principal component analysis was carried out to analyze sensorial properties and it showed that the overall acceptance was high when the juiciness and softness increased. This result was highly related with the addition of emulsion. Therefore, emulsion technology can be a good candidate for improving the quality of meat analog and for mimicking the taste of animal meat.

The impregnation of solid foods into the surrounding hypotonic or hypertonic solution was explored as a method to infuse NaCl in pork loin cube without altering its matrix. Mass transfer kinetics using a diffusive model as the mathematical model for moisture gain/loss and salt gain and the resulting textural properties were studied for the surrounding solutions of NaCl 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 15% (w/w). It was possible to access the effects of brine concentration on the direction of the resulting water flow, quantify water and salt transfer, and confirm tenderization effect by salt infusion. For brine concentrations up to 10% it was verified that meat samples gained water, while for processes with 15% concentration, pork loin cubes lost water. The effective diffusion coefficients of salt ranged from 2.43×10-9 to 3.53×10-9 m2/s, while for the values of water ranged from 1.22×10-9 to 1.88×10-9 m2/s. The diffusive model was able to represent well salt gain rates using a single parameter, i.e. an effective diffusion coefficient of salt through the meat. However, it was not possible to find a characteristic effective diffusion coefficient for water transfer. Within the range of experimental conditions studied, salt-impregnated samples by 5% (w/w) brine were shown with minimum hardness, chewiness and shear force.

한국과 중국은 경제발전으로 인하여 육류 소비 패턴이 지속적으로 변화해왔다. 본 연구에서는 한국과 중국의 소비자들이 육류를 구매함에 있어 구매요인의 차이가 나타나는지, 나타난다면 그 요인의 차이가 얼마나 나는지 분석하였다. 본 연구를 위해 2017년 8월 28일부터 9월 11일까지 온라인 조사 방식으로 한국과 중국 길림성 소비자를 대상으로 동일한 내용의 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 한국 설문조사에서 339부, 중국 설문조사에서 305부를 회수하여 총 644부의 설문지를 최종 분석에 사용하였다. 한․중 양국 소비자의 육류 구매요인 차를 확인하기 위하여 MANOVA분석을 이용하여 그 차이를 살펴보았다. 다음으로 Ordered Probit분석을 통해 각 육류 소비요인과 국가, 나이, 성별 등의 변수 간 차이가 있는지, 차이가 얼마인지 알아보았다. 분석결과 한국과 중국 길림성의 육류 소비요인은 마블링 요인에서만 차이 가 없는 것으로 나타났고 기타 요인에서는 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. Ordered Probit분석 결과 마블링을 제외한 모든 육류요인은 양국 간에 차이가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 한국의 응답자의 경우 육류 구매 시 중국 길림성의 응답자보다 맛, 품질, 판매가격, 판매장소, 안전성을 더 중요하게 생각하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 중국 길림성의 응답자의 경우 한국의 응답자보다 브랜드를 더욱 중요하게 생각하는 것으로 나타났다.

Pork is a popular meat consumed in Korea. However, the consumption pattern has typically focused on preferred parts, like pork belly, which is usually broiled. This consumption pattern has increased both stocks of low fat parts and medical costs, and has thereby disturbed pork industry growth and the national health welfare. Changing the consumption patterns of preferred parts and encouraging consumption of low fat parts will improve consumers’ quality of life and also increase their benefits. Thus, this study estimated WTP (Willingness To Pay) for health funds among consumers who eat pork meat, considering the health benefits gained by consuming low fat parts and changes in preferred part consumption. The results of this study show that WTP is higher when consumers have a smaller family and a higher income; these consumers plan to increase intake of pork meat in the future and think that the promotion of low fat pork meat consumption is more important. The WTP for health funds is estimated to be 49won to 287won through Logit Model. The health benefits of low fat consumption were estimated to be 92 billion won to 539 billion won per year. Therefore, reforming low fat pork consumption not only changes the traditional consumption pattern focused on preferred parts but also leads to a variety of benefits for consumers, including health benefits.

송아지고기는 어린 소 즉, 송아지에서 생산되는 고기이며 국제적 기준으로 1년 미만의 소에서 생산된 고기를 통칭한다. 송아지고기는 사육방법 및 도축연령에 따라 밥빌, 대용유사양 송아지고기, 곡류사양 송아지고기 및 방목사양 송아지고기로 구분한다. 생산 및 소비량이 가장 높은 송아지 고기는 대용유사양 송아지고기로 체중 200 kg 내외, 5개월령에 도축하며 육색은 핑크색을 나타낸다. 송아지고기는 일반적인 소고기에 비해 단백질 함량이 높고 지방함량이 낮으며 불포화 지방이 다수 포함되어 있고 고기의 육질이 부드럽다. 송아지고기의 육질에 양향을 미치는 요인으로 체중, 연령, 사료조성, 사료내 철분 함량 등이 있다. 송아지고기를 생산하기 위해서는 송아지고기 생산용 대용유사료가 필요하다. 일반적으로 대용유사료내 단백질 및 지방함량이 20% 내외로 체중의 10% 이상 급여하며 조사료를 자유채식하여 스트레스를 완화하고 반추위발달을 유지하도록 한다.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the changes of water-soluble flavor precursors in loin and top round from Hanwoo (Korean cattle) beef during aging at 2℃ for 14 days. The glycogen, glucose and lactate contents were not significantly influenced by beef parts and aging. Among nucleotide-related compounds, inosine 5'-phosphate (IMP) and inosine contents were significantly (p<0.05) lower in loin compared with top round but hypoxanthine content was not significantly different between beef parts. Moreover, during aging, IMP content significantly (p<0.05) decreased while inosine and hypoxanthine contents significantly (p<0.05) increased. It is concluded that aging highly affected the nucleotide-related compounds among water-soluble flavor precursors in loin and top round from Hanwoo.

The aim of this study is to investigate the genetic interrelationships between economic or meat quality traits (birth weight, weaning weight, average daily gain, market weight, carcass weight, backfat thickness, water, ash, fat, protein, water holding capacity and pH) and 6 SNPs located on six selected candidate genes (MC4R, PGK2, TNNI1, TNNI2, PIK3C3, and CTSK) in Korean native pigs. The genotypes were identified in the 6 SNPs by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) procedure, and association of the genotype on economically important traits was analyzed by general liner model. According to the analyzed results, the MC4R c.1426A>G was correlated with birth weight (p=0.032) and the PGK2 g.122T>G was associated with pH (p=0.026). These findings obtained in the present revealed that the each SNPs of MC4R and PGK2 could be useful as potential genetic markers for birth weight and pH in Korean native pigs, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in Korean meat consumption as well as meat consumption trends. During the Japanese occupation period, the supply of meat was considerably insufficient. However, meat consumption mainly in large cities has gradually increased. Especially, 'Pyeongyang cow', a specialty of Pyeongyang, started being raised as edible beef cattle in 1933. During the chaotic period following liberation from Japan, the price of meat sharply increased. However, as the meat supply stabilized, the 'beef grade system' was introduced in 1967. Since then, beef has sold according to region. During the early economic growth period of the mid-1970s, meat consumption rapidly increased, and foreign beef was first imported in 1976. The preference for beef was somewhat attenuated due to the outbreak of mad cow disease and economic slowdown of the 1990s, resulting in an increase in the consumption of pork, a replacement meat. During the recent period of economic development, meat consumption has somewhat fallen and remained low. In late 2003, with the occurrence of mad cow disease in the US, the demand for pork, and especially pork fatback, has sharply increased.

The main purpose of this study was to survey the various kinds of recipes for pheasant found in seventeen Korean cookbooks published from the 1800's to the 1990's. There were 95 pheasant recipes found in the literature which could be classified into three major groups: cooking with moist heat, cooking with dry heat, and other. The three major groups were then broken down into thirteen smaller groups. A detailed look at the frequency of terms in each recipe shows that Gui Sanjeok (grilled Korean shish kebabs) appears 24 times, Guk Tang and Jeongol (soup and stew) 23 times, Kimchi (fermented cabbage) 11 times, Po (jerky) 9 times, Jorim (boiled in soy sauce) 7 times, Jjim (steamed) 6 times, Bokeum (stir-fried) 5 times, Twigim (deep-fried) 3 times, Buchim (fried) 2 times, Jigae jijim (stewed) 2 times, and Jang (paste), Myeon (noodles), Gooum (boiled) and Yeot (Korean hard taffy) 1 time each. The main ingredient is always the pheasant. We investigated the use of the whole pheasant cooked, how to slice and tenderize pheasant meat, use the meat only, or use only certain parts. Depending on the characteristics of cooking recipes, pheasants with thin, soft bones and organs were investigated for cooking. Substituted materials were used for a few of the vegetables, meat, and seafood in the recipes, and seem to go well together. Garnishes used included pine nut powder and fried eggs. Seasoned salt, soy sauce, pepper, sesame, sesame oil, chopped onion, garlic, and ginger were also reported to have been used.

The study was conducted to investigate the differences in the compounds responsible for volatile flavors in Hanwoo and imported fresh beef from Australia, United States and New Zealand. Different imported beef samples were prepared as Angus beef from Australia, United States and New Zealand and the cross beef from the United States. Significant differences (p<0.05) in hexanal, benzaldehyde, octanal, nonanal, nonenal, decanal, E-2-decenal, hexadecyloxirane, tetradecanal, 2,2-dideutero octadecanal, octadecanal, pentadecane, 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine, 4-methyl-2-propyl-furan, 2-hexylfuran, 2-butylfuran, 2- pentylfuran, 2-heptyl furan were observed between loin and eye of round from Hanwoo and imported beef (p<0.05). In loin muscles, various volatile compounds such as hexanal, heptanal, octanal, E-2-octenal, nonenal, E-2-decenal, E,E,2,4-decadienal, 2-undecenal, heptane, 2-butyl furan were found to be significantly higher in Hanwoo beef as compared to imported beef. However, in the round muscles of Hawnoo eye compounds that were observed to be significantly higher were pentanal, hexanal, heptanal, benzaldehyde, octanal, nonanal, E-2 -decenal, octadecanal, 2-furan methanol and 2-pentyl furan. Further study need to be determined if those volatile compounds can be used as a bio-marker to identify origins of beef.

This study was conducted to provide fundamental data for the Korean food service industry by researching the awareness and consumption tendencies of 180 domestic foreign residents towards Korean meat dishes. The results showed differences in the preferred types of food depending on gender; men tended to like meats, followed by stews, and rice, whereas women tended to like meats, followed by rice, and stew. The foreigners who participated in this research dined at Korean restaurants at least 20 times per month on average, regardless of their place of residence. Dishes with the lowest intake were suyuk (boiled meat, 66.7%) and dakbokkeumtang (sauteed chicken stew, 67.8%) and dishes with the highest intake tended to be roasts, which are relatively easier to prepare. The types of preferred food were in the order of galbi, bulgogi, and dakgalbi, and the least favored foods were yukgaejang, followed by suyuk, and seollengtang. "It is delicious" was the response found most frequently as a reason for preference regardless of the type of meat dish, and the reason for distaste was: "It is not delicious" This demonstrated that taste was the most important factor when visiting a Korean restaurant. Unexpectedly, sirloin roast, beef galbi stew, chicken stew, samgyetang, and dakbokumtang were not favored because of unfamiliar aroma and taste. In the case of galbi, "It is not very sanitary" was the main factor in responses. For areas of improvement, food sanitation, meat smells left on clothes, and smoke generated during roasting were factors with a high degree of importance, whereas the use of gas burners and the blackening of bowls were found to have a lower degree of importance.
