This study investigated the effect of temperature deviation on the water-holding capacity, tenderness, lipid oxidation, and color stability of Korean Hanwoo (韓牛) beef during long-term aging. The striploins (M. longissimus lumborum) were aged for 56 days at 2±1oC (T1), 2±2oC (T2), or 2±3oC (T3). Drip loss and cooking loss were higher (p<0.05) in T3 than in T1 on day 56. The Warner-Bratzler shear force value was similar for all treatments during aging times. On day 56, the content of 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances was higher (p<0.05) in T3 as compared to T1. The CIE L* and b* values were similar for all treatments, but the a* value was lower (p<0.05) in T3 than in T1 on the last day. These findings indicate that high temperature deviation adversely affects the water-holding capacity, lipid oxidation stability, and color stability of Hanwoo beef during long-term aging.

본 연구에서는 식품용 기구 및 용기·포장으로부터 식 품유사용매로 이행되는 10종의 산화방지제(butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), Cyanox 2246, 425 and 1790, Irgafos 168, 및 Irganox 1010, 1330, 3114 and 1076)의 분석법을 확립하였다. 식품유사용 매 중 물, 4% 초산, 50% 에탄올의 경우 hydrophiliclipophilic balance (HLB) 카트리지로 고체상 추출(SPE, Solid Phase Extraction)을 하였고, n-헵탄의 경우 이소프로 필알콜로 희석하여 HPLC-UVD (276 nm)로 산화방지제의 이행량을 분석하였다. 확립된 분석법으로 위생백, 지퍼백, 우유팩, 주스팩, 가공식품용 포장지, 밀폐용기, 일회용기 등 국내 유통 폴리에틸렌(78건) 및 폴리프로필렌(122건) 재질의 식품용 기구 및 용기·포장 200건으로부터 식품 유사용매로 이행되는 10종의 산화방지제 이행량 조사 결과, 총 78건의 폴리에틸렌 식품용 기구 및 용기·포장 중 5건에서 Irganox 1010이 ND~1.444 mg/L 검출되었고, 총 122건의 폴리프로필렌 식품용 기구 및 용기·포장 중 41건에서 Irganox 1010이 ND~3.106 mg/L, 28건에서 Irganox 1076이 ND~4.752 mg/L, 34건에서 Irgafos 168이 ND~ 3.635 mg/L 검출되어 총 3종의 산화방지제가 검출되었다. 검출된 Irganox 1010, Irganox 1076, Irgafos 168에 대해 일 일추정섭취량(EDI)을 계산하고 일일섭취한계량(TDI)과 비 교하여 위해도를 평가한 결과, 폴리에틸렌 재질 중 Irganox 1010은 TDI 대비 0.0067%, 폴리프로필렌 재질 중 Irganox 1010, Irganox 1076, Irgafos 168은 TDI 대비 0.0073%, 0.1800%, 0.0200%로 안전한 수준임을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 확립된 폴리에틸렌 및 폴리프로필렌 식품용 기구 및 용기·포장 중 산화방지제 분석법 및 안전성 평가 결과는 앞으로 기구 및 용기·포장의 안전관리를 위한 과학적인 근거자료로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

들기름 및 미강유를 베이스로 개발한 혼합 식용유는 오메가-3 지방산인 리놀렌산 함량이 약 20% 정도로 매우 높다. 이는 기존의 일반 식용유 중 오메가-3 지방 함량이 매우 높은 콩기름과 카놀라유의 리놀렌산 함량이 각각 6% 및 10% 내외인 점을 감안하면, 이들 식용유에 비하여 새로 들기름과 미강유를 혼합한 식용유는 2~3배 높은 비율로 오메가-3 지방산을 제공할 수 있어서, 오메가-3 지방산 섭취가 부족한 현대인의 식단에서 중요한 오메가-3 지방산 급원으로서의 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다. 뿐만 아니라, 토코페롤 함량도 약 46.77 ㎎/ 100 g oil 정도인데, 가장 주목할 일은 토코페롤 동족류 중 비타민 E의 활성이 가장 강한 알파-토코페롤(31.71 ㎎/100 g oil)이 가장 많이 존재하여, 총 토코페롤의 64%를 차지하고 있어서 비타민 E로서의 기능이 높다. 혈중 콜레스테롤 함량을 낮추는 기능성이 알려진 파이토스테롤 함량이 들기름과 미강유를 혼합한 식용유에 약 7,200 ppm 함유되어 있어, 일반적인 식용유의 3,000 ppm의 약 2.3배에 달한다. 본 연구에서 개발한 들기름과 미강유를 혼합한 식용유는 일반적인 식용유인 콩기름과 거의 유사한 산화안정성을 갖는 것으로 확인되어, 일반 들기름에 비하여 현저히 높은 산화안정성이 확보되었다.

: In this experiment, three samples of oils were used. These oils were hydrated soybean oil, pure soybean oil and regular soybean oil. Oil was used after heating at 235-240℃ every four hours term and total heating hours was 16 hours. The physio-chemical analysis and sensory evaluation were performed on these oils. The hydrated soybean oil showed lower acid, peroxide and carbonyl value than the other two oils (p〈0.05 or p〈0.001). The other two oils were more affected in rancidity than the hydrated soybean oil. In color test, whereas L value lowed during the heating time, a and b value increased during the heating time. The tendency of high L value and low b value in a long-time heating was more apparant on the pure soybean oil and the regular soybean oil than on the hydrated soybean oil (p〈0.05). In sensory evaluation, color and rancidity order increased during the heating time. The hydrated soybean oil showed color and rancidity order than the other two oils. In overall quality test, the pure and regular soybean oil that had been used for 12 and 16 hour were not preferable. The hydrated soybean oil that had been used for 16 hour were not preferable. In sensory evaluation, the hydrated soybean oil, the pure and regular soybean oil did not show a apparent difference, although the hydrated soybean oil had a little better scores on the overall quality.

The yields of solvent fractions of irradiated red ginseng powder were increased in the order of petroleum ether(PE)$lt;diethyl ether(DE)$lt;ethyl acetate(EA)$lt;n-butanol (BU)$lt;aqueous fraction(AQ), and did not show any changes in fraction yields by irradiation dose levels. Inhibition activities of lipid peroxide formation were increased in the order of AQ$lt;BU $lt;PE$lt;EA$lt;DE. Inhibition activities of malonaldehyde formation were increased in the order of AQ≤BU$lt;EA$lt;PE$lt;DE. AQ fraction showed little effects on the antioxidative activity and all the activities of the samples did not changed by gamma irradiation. The reverse mutation assay using Salmonella typhunurium (TA98, TA100 and TA102) demonstrated that the nonirradiated and irradiated red ginseng powder extract did not have mutagenic activity (presence of S9 mix or not). The chromosomal aberration test in mammalian animal cell (Chinese hamster lung fibroblast, CHL) showed no significant increase in incidence of structural and numerical aberrations, comparing gamma-irradiated red ginseng powder extracts to nonirradiated red ginseng powder extract in the concentration of the sample producing cytotoxicity(presence of S9 mix or not). Therefore, gamma-irradiatied red ginseng powder (upto 10 kGy) could be safe on the genotoxic point of view.
