미생물학적 위해성 평가(Micribial risk assessment: MRA)에서 노출평가시 확률적 접근방법은 식중독 발생에 관련된 많은 위해 미생물의 다양성과 변이성 그리고 불확실성에 대한 분석이 가능하고 과적의 접근방법인 point estiamte 보다 훨씬 더 현실성이 반영된 결과를 제공할 수 있어 현재 MRA의 노출평가에서 가장 효과적인 방법으로 인정되고 있다. 본 연구는 MRA 방법론 중 노출평가에서 이용될 수 있는 수학적 확률분포 모델을 이용하여 위해 미생물의 발생수준을 추정하는 방법론을 제시하고, 이를 바탕으로 국내 식육에서의 Listeria monocytogenes에 대한 오염수준을 추정하였으며, 그 결과 국내 식육에서의 L. monocytogenes의 오염수준은 평균 (50_(th) percentile) -4.08 Log CFU/g이며, 최소 (5_(th) percentile) -4.88 Log CFU/g, 최대 (95_(th) percentile) -3.56 Log CFU/g의 범위를 갖는 것으로 추정되었다.

This study is performed to identify the contents of nitrosamine in meat (beef, pork) and meat product (ham, bacon, sausage) by gas chromatograph-thermal energy analyzer. The author also determined the formation of nitrosamine in these products when they were cooked in frying pan at 210 for 4 minutes and microwave for 45 and 75 seconds. N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) analysis was impossible in the most products because of their impurietiea. On the other hand, N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR,) of 0-9.4ug/kg in meat and 0-15.6 ug/kg in meat products were detected, respectively. When meat and meat products were cooked, generally contents of NDMA and NPYR have a tendency to be increased a little. Meat and meat product being cooked in microwave rather than flying pan, contents of NDMA and NPYR, were detected more. Especially, in sausage contained much fish, contents of NDMA was detected more.

Ham, sausage and bacon were treated with common household processing techniques including refrigerated storage(0, 14, 28 days) and cooking(pan-frying, microwaving, boiling). Lipid oxidation was evaluated by measuring fatty acid composition, malonaldehyde(MA), TBA values and by measuring fluorescent products. Major fatty acid composition were oleic acid and followed respectively palmitic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid. There was no significant difference in fatty acid composition by cooking method but there was a tendency of being increased of unsaturated fatty acid during 28days storage. Ma, TBA and fluorescent products showed a tendency of being increased continually according to storage days rather than cooking method.

The consumption of meat processing products in was creased in Korean recently. Morever the demand of tasted meat processing products being gradual increase in general tendency, and so we expect that in the continuing of westernizing for food life and universalizing of urvanism, the demand of meat processing products. In order to improve the marketing strategies for the meat processing industries, consummeris particular behaviors were analyzed as for consummer's recognition, recognition of problem, the evaluation of substitutional proposal, the decision of purchasing intention an purchasing behavior and the evaluation of post-purchasing to the meat processing products.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties of Pekin duck breast meat obtained from ducks fed diets consisting different types of sipjeondaebo-tang by-products and red ginseng marc with fermented red koji during storage. A total of 180 Pekin ducks (0-day old) were divided into four groups, each consisting of three replicates (15 ducks per pen). This study investigated diets with four types of treatments: control (basal diet),1% blend powder, pelleted 1% blend, and coated pellets of 1% blend; the blend was a mixture of sipjeondaebo-tang by-products powder and red ginseng marc with fermented red koji. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in duck breast meat pH on storage days 3 and 7, TBARS on storage days 0 through 7, and DPPH radical scavenging on storage days 0 and 7. However, the pH values on storage day 0 and DPPH radical scavenging on storage day 3 were significantly different (p<0.05) in the meats from control and treated diet fed ducks. Especially, on storage day 7, the breast meat from ducks treated with different types of sipjeondaebo-tang by-products and red ginseng marc with fermented red koji showed lower TBARS values and increased DPPH radical scavenging activity compared to the control. In conclusion, addition of different types of sipjeondaebo-tang by-product and red ginseng marc with fermented red koji to 1% blend might be helpful in increasing antioxidant effects and reducing product wastage.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) system application on microbial hazard management levels of pork and manufacturing environments. In this study, we compared and analyzed microbial levels in raw meat, finished products, and manufacturing environments (knifes, gloves, and cutting boards) of HACCP and non-HACCP meat markets. In addition, we surveyed the hygiene statuses of HACCP and non-HACCP meat markets. The general bacterial counts in raw meat, finished products, and manufacturing environments were lower in HACCP meat markets than in non-HACCP meat markets. Particularly, non-HACCP meat markets exceeded the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety microbiological recommendation criteria for raw meats (8.7%) and finished products (8.7%). Escherichia coli and coliform counts in raw meat, finished products, and manufacturing environments were also lower in HACCP meat markets than in non-HACCP meat markets. The biological hazard levels of finished products from non-HACCP meat markets were affected by raw meat and manufacturing environment. Moreover, according to questionnaire survey results, personal hygiene, manufacturing environment, and facility standards were lower in non-HACCP meat markets than in HACCP meat markets. Implementation of HACCP at meat markets is expected to minimize food poisoning by reducing the biological hazard levels to provide safe livestock products to consumers.
