The domestic swine industry is currently facing a threat due to the recent increase in pork imports. This study aims to determine what factors influence consumers' intention to consume imported pork and suggest measures to support the domestic pork industry. To achieve this, we analyzed data from the Korea Rural Economic Institute's Food Consumption Behavior Survey using a binary logistic regression model. The results revealed that a higher intention to consume imported pork is linked to a higher intention to consume imported rice, purchasing meat online, frequent purchases of HMR, and procuring U.S. beef, especially among urban residents. On the other hand, a lower intention to consume imported pork is associated with a higher awareness of animal welfare certification, frequently dining out, and older age. Based on these findings, we propose the following response measures for the domestic swine industry: implementing educational programs, marketing, and advertising specifically targeting urban residents to improve their perception of domestic agricultural products; enhancing price competitiveness through distribution optimization; and developing policies to promote the use of domestic pork as an ingredient in processed foods.

This study performed the pre-treatments of the manufacturing of the pork skin snack with wet-salting (3% and 6%; 3W and 6W) and dry-salting (0.3% and 0.6%; 0.3D and 0.6D). Regarding the manufacturing yield, the 0.3D and 6W were significantly higher than the other samples (p<0.05). The water contents of the Con and 0.6D were significantly lower than the other samples (p<0.05). The fat contents of the Con and 6W were evidently higher than the 3W, 0.3D, and 0.6D (p<0.05). The lightness of the wet-salting group was markedly higher than the Con (p<0.05). The redness and yellowness of the 0.6D were noticeably higher than the Con (p<0.05). The crispness of the 0.6D was considerably higher than the other samples (p<0.05). The appearance and sensory crispness of the 3W and 0.6D were notably lower than the other samples (p<0.05). The taste score of the 0.6D was much lower than the 6W and 0.3D (p<0.05). The overall acceptability of the Con, 6W, and 0.3D was appreciably higher than the other samples (p<0.05). Overall, this study showed that wet-salting with 6% (6W) and dry-salting with 0.3% (0.3D) can improve pork skin snack quality properties.

In this study, the quality of sow pork was compared with commercial pork to evaluate sow pork as raw meat material for processing. Texture, cooking loss, color, pH, water, lipid, fatty acid, volatile profiles, and sensory characteristics of 3 parts (tenderloin, loin, hind leg) of sow and commercial pork were analyzed. In texture analysis, sow pork had significantly higher shear force compared to commercial pork (tenderloin: sow 143.19 N, commercial 107.79 N; loin: sow 173.62 N, commercial 120.65 N; hind leg: sow 211.76 N, commercial 112.80 N) (p<0.05). There were significant differences in cooking loss, color, and pH, but they differed by part. A total of 49 volatile compounds were identified, and there were significant differences in 22 volatile compounds. In the case of hexanal (one of the warmed-over flavors), which was detected on the largest scale, the relative concentration was significantly higher in the tenderloin of commercial pork (p<0.05). On the other hand, no differences were reported by sensory analysis for hardness, off-flavor, juiciness, oiliness, appearance, taste, and acceptability between cooked sow and commercial pork. This study provides a database on the quality of sow pork by parts, which is considerable to develop proceed meat products using sow meat.

기존의 합성 항산화제를 대체하기 위하여 천연물질 유래 항산화제인 파프리카 추출물을 돈육 패티에 이용하였다. 본 연구에서는 항산화제를 첨가하지 않은 돈육 패티(C), 합성 항산화제인 아질산염을 첨가한 돈육 패티(NC), 파프리카 추출물을 5 mg 첨가한 돈육 패티(T1), 파프리카 추출물을 10 mg 첨가한 돈육 패티(T2)를 제작하여 실험을 실시하였다. 돈육 패티는 7 ℃ 냉장 온도에서 0일 및 7일간 저장하였으며, pH, 육색, 가열 감량, 지방산패도, 및 카르보닐함량을 비교하였다. C에 비해 모든 처리구에서 낮은 pH와 가열 감량을 보였다(p < 0.05). 처리구에서 낮은 명도와 높은 적색도 값을 나타냈다. 또한 합성 항산화제인 아질산염 첨가구보다 파프리카 추출물 첨가한 돈육 패티에서 높은 적색도를 나타냈다(p < 0.05). 모든 처리구에서 저장기간이 증가할수록 카르보닐함량과 지방산패도는 증가하며, 저장 7일째 처리구에서 낮은 카르보닐함량과 지방산패도 를 보였다(p < 0.05). 특히 저장 7일째, 합성 항산화제인 아질산염을 첨가한 돈육 패티에서 가장 낮은 지방산패도를 보였다. 파프리카 추출물 또한 지방산패도를 낮추며, 파프리카 추출물 첨가량이 높을수록 더 크게 지질산화를 억제하였다. 따라서, 돈육 패티에서 파프리카 추출물을 첨가하면 돈육 패티의 산화를 억제할 수 있음을 확인했다. 또한 파프리카 추출물의 첨가량을 조절함으로써 아질산염과 유사한 항산화능을 지님을 확인하여 천연 항산화제로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 아시아에서 돈육 생산과 소비의 강국인 중국, 일본, 한국 3개국의 과거와 현재 돈육 산업을 조사하고 향후 돈육 생산과 소비를 예측하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 중국은 경제 시스템 변화와 가속화된 경제 성장으로 돈육의 생산과 소비에서 높은 순위를 차지할 수 있었고, 양돈 산업은 계속 발전할 것이며, 생산과 소비는 계속 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 일본의 돈육 생산량은 오랫동안 꾸준히 감소해 왔다. 일본은 돈육 수입량이 많아 순위가 높지만 수입량에 비해 소비가 크지 않아 수입량은 점차 줄어들 것으로 예상된다. 한국은 양돈산업의 발달과 대규모 농장 운영의 확대로 돈육 생산이 발달했고, 이를 통해 양돈 생산 분야에서 높은 순위를 차지하고 있다. 돈육의 소비도 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 농업 부문의 경제적 측면에서는 돈육 생산과 소비의 비율이 계속 증가하고 있다. 중국, 일본, 한국의 돈육 생산과 소비는 농업부문뿐만 아니라 세계 경제에도 상당한 영향을 미칠 것이다.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of a coating agent on pork storage. Pork was coated with a coating agent containing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and mandarin peel powder (M). The treatments were divided into control, a 0.1% CMC treatment, and a 0.1% CMC +5% M treatment, and pH, color, 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and the number of viable cell counts were measured. In the case of redness (a), it was found that the reduction over the storage period was less in the 0.1% CMC + 5% M treatment than in the control and the 1% CMC treatment. When stored at 4oC and 25oC, TBARS of pork tended to increase during the storage period, followed by control, 0.1% CMC treatment, and 0.1% CMC + 5% M treatment, indicating that lipid oxidation was most suppressed in pork coated with mandarin peel powder. As a result of measuring the VBN of pork stored at 4oC and 25oC, the 0.1% CMC + 5% M treatment showed lower values than the control and 0.1% CMC treatment. When the film-coated pork was stored at 4oC, the number of viable cell counts in the 0.1% CMC +5% M treatment area was 7.13±0.96 log CFU/g on the 12th day of storage, delaying the growth of viable cell counts for approximately 3 d more than other treatments. Therefore, coating pork with a film containing CMC and mandarin peel powder has been confirmed to delay the increase in the number of viable cell counts while reducing the quality change during pork storage, which is an effective alternative to improving the storage of fresh food as an edible film.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of pork belly thickness on physicochemical and sensory characteristics after pan frying. Pork belly with three different thickness (5, 10, 20 mm) from three different parts (A:thoracic vertebrae no. 5-9, B:thoracic vertebrae 10-14, C:lumbar vertebrae 1-6) was pan grilled with electronic grill until it reached an internal temperature of 71℃. Cooking loss, shear force, sensory characteristics, volatile compounds of cooked pork belly were determined. Electric nose analysis was performed to support descriptive analysis and consumer sensory analysis. The cooking loss of pork belly with 20 mm thickness from all positions was significantly low (p<0.05). Shear force increased with increase in thickness (p<0.05). Electric nose identified major seven volatile compounds such as acetonitrile, (Z)-4-heptenal, 2-octanol, linalool, carbon disulfide, methylcyclohexane, n-nonanal to discriminate those samples. The part of pork belly significantly affected the intensity of volatile compounds rather than thickness. In discriminate analysis, the overall acceptability of pork belly (A and B parts) with 20 mm thickness was higher than that of pork belly with 5 mm thickness. In addition, the overall acceptability by consumers for pork belly with 20 mm thickness from A, B, and C parts was higher than the overall acceptability for pork belly with 5 mm thickness. This preliminary study suggests that it is more desirable to use pork belly with 20 mm thickness from part A when cooking on a pan gril compared with pork belly of 10 mm or 20 mm thickness from part B or C in the meat markets and restaurant.

This study examined the effects of hot deboning and the irradiation of raw pork on the physicochemical properties of pork sausages. Pigs were deboned with a carcass (loin surfaces) temperature of 5℃ (cold) or 15℃ (hot). Each deboned raw pork loins were then irradiated at 0 kGy or 4 kGy. Emulsion-type sausages were prepared from each treated meat with other ingredients including fat, ice, salt, phosphate, and seasoning powder. Then sausage products were analyzed for their physiochemical properties and microbial spoilage up to 10 days. Emulsion stability of sausage products with hot deboning was better than the cold carcass up to three days. Sausage products with irradiated hot carcasses showed less cooking loss than from non-irradiated carcasses on day 10. Hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the sausages decreased significantly with increasing storage time for all sausage products (p<0.05), but the sausage products with irradiated hot carcasses showed a smaller reduction compared with non-irradiated. Lipid oxidation was not significantly different in the sausage products with hot or cold deboning (p>0.05), but the sausage products from non-irradiated meats showed changes from 0.43 to 1.59 (MDA mg/kg of meat) in 10 days (p<0.5). Total plate count and E. coli count were significantly lower in the sausage products from irradiated meat (p<0.05). Finally, irradiating hot deboned meat at 4 kGy can be an excellent alternative for producing raw meat for sausages with promising microbiological and physicochemical properties.

Post-slaughtering storage of pork meat is important to improve the flavor and texture profile. Although irradiation of meat improves the keeping qualities of red meat, less work was done on the effect of quality in irradiated pork leg meat during post-slaughtering storage. Therefore, this study was done to compare low dosages of single beam irradiation treated pork leg meat on eating quality parameters over the nontreated meat stored at different storage temperatures. Freshly slaughter pig carcasses were brought to the irradiation unit for treatment. Pork leg meat was treated at 2 kGy with single beam. Treated (2 kGy) and non-treated pork leg meat were kept in three different temperatures as 2, 10 and 25°C for 1, 3 and 5 days and analyzed for cooking loss, shear force, color and nitrogenous flavor compounds. Cooking loss in day 5 in irradiated pork leg (30.29) was significantly lower than the control (33.27) (p<0.05). Shear force of treated (1.93) and non-treated (1.29) pork leg meat after day 5 had significant difference (p<0.05). “L*” and “b*” values of pork leg meat had significant difference at day 5 compared non treated leg meat (p<0.05) whereas the “a*” value was increased with storage time and temperature. Hypoxanthine level was significantly lower in pork leg meat at day 5 in treated (16.07) and non-treated (24.59) meats at 25°C (p<0.05) whereas the changes in AMP, IMP and Inosine was not significantly difference (p>0.05). As conclusion, post-slaughtering storage and irradiation with single beam of 2 kGy could ensure the meat quality of leg pork at even higher storage temperatures, with cooking loss, tenderness, flavor and the color which will be benefited in the processing industry.

General bacteria, E. coli 연구 결과 모든 일자에서 불검출되어 미생물로부터의 안정성은 더 장기간으로 실험해볼 필요가 있을 것으로 보인다. 또한 높은 항균 능력과 생분해능의 결과를 보여 저장 기간의 안정성이 높은 용기의 개발과 환경의 영향을 최소화 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 돈피 젤라틴에 난각과 호두 껍질 분말을 넣어 제조한 생분해성 용기의 개발의 기초 데이터로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This study evaluated the quality and antioxidant activities of pork patties after adding Cirsium nipponicum powder in a ratio of 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%, and the potential of Cirsium nipponicum as a functional food. The moisture content increased with an increase in the Cirsium nipponicum powder content while the pH, cooking loss rate, diameter loss rate decreased. The L and b values decreased with increase in the Cirsium nipponicum powder content while the a value increased; this trend was observed before and after heating the patties. The hardness, chewiness, and gumminess increased with increase in the Cirsium nipponicum powder content. Consumer acceptability test revealed that the 2% Cirsium nipponicum powder group had a higher score than the other groups in respect to color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptance. Notably, as the Cirsium nipponicum powder content increased, there was an increase in the antioxidant activities; increased total pheonlic, flavonoid, DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity. Based on the present study results, adding 2% of Cirsium nipponicum powder into pork patties achieved the best functionality and sensory qualities.

본 연구에서는 다양한 식물성 지방 대체제가 돼지고기 패티의 이화학적 특성 및 관능 특성에 미치는 영향을 평가 하고자 하였다. 동물성 지방 처리군, 식물성 기름 처리군, 비드 처리군 첨가에 따른 영향을 분석하였으며, 실험을 통해 지방 함량은 낮추면서 물리적 및 관능적 측면에서 돼지 등지방을 사용한 패티와 큰 차이를 나타내지 않음을 확인 하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 지방대체 방법인 식물성 기름 첨가와 식물성 기름 유화물 첨가 뿐 아니라 식물성 고체 지방 대체제를 제조할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였으며, 이를 육가공 제품에 적용하여 다양한 지방 대체제의 효과와 비교했다는 점에서 기존 지방대체 연구와 차이점이 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 연구 결과 식물성 고체 지방 대체제는 패티의 조리손실을 줄이고 보수력을 개선하는 등 품질을 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 패티의 부드러움과 다즙성에 영향을 주어 선호도가 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 새로운 지방 대체제의 적용 가능성에 대한 기초 연구 자료로 제공될 수 있다.

With the development of the economy and the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, consumers’ increasing demand for safe food has become an inevitable trend of social development. On the one hand, food safety is an urgent social problem needed to be solved in China. On the other hand, the food safety guarantee method based on a traceability system is popular. This paper systematically studies the influencing factors of consumers’ willingness to pay for the extra price of traceable pork in the Yanbian area through empirical analysis. The result showed that consumers’ attitude and subjective norms, and perceived behavior control, have significantly positively affect consumers’ willingness to pay the extra price. Meanwhile, consumers’ perceived risk of traceable pork significantly moderates the effect on consumers’ attitude and willingness to pay an extra price. The results can provide the corresponding reference for government agencies to formulate policies and provide valuable suggestions for enterprises to develop a pork traceability market to realize the development of a pork traceability system in the Yanbian area to ensure consumers’ food safety.

본 연구는 정수압 처리와 초음파 처리가 20일 숙성기간 동안 돈육의 삼겹살과 목살 부위의 품질특성에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 다양한 품질특성을 관찰한 결과 정수압에서 숙성하고 초음파 처리한 돈육은 부위별로 효과의 차이는 있지만, 품질향상에 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며 또한, 초음파 처리했을 때 특히 고기의 연도와 관계가 있는 pH, 보수력, 경도 품질을 높이는 것으로 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서 이용한 저온 정수압 숙성 및 초음파 처리공정은 낮은 온도에서 돈육을 빠른 시간안에 숙성하는데 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 착즙이나 추출 후 폐기되는 복분자(Rubus coreanus) 부산물을 사료자원으로 급여한 버크셔 암컷과 거세돈의 육질특성을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 시험 돼지는 Berkshire 품종 총 60두를 암수 구분하여 각 15두씩 임의 배치하였고, 복분자 부산물을 급여하지 않은 대조구와 복분자 부산물을 전체 사료의 0.3% 수준으로 출하 전 60일간 급여한 처리구(RC)로 분리하였다. 육질분석을 위하여 도축 후 예비 냉각한 좌반도체 등심 부위를 채취하여 일반성분, 이화학적 육질특성, 지방산 및 항산화 활성을 분석하였다. 일반성분은 대조구와 RC간의 유의적 차이가 없었고, 육색에서 거세돈육의 명도(L*) 값에서만 RC구에서 대조구 보다 낮은 값을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 등심육의 pH와 보수력은 RC 급여에 의한 유의적 차이가 없었으나, 전단력에서는 RC에서 유의적으로 높은 값을 나타냈다(p<0.05). TBARS 수치는 거세돈육의 RC가 대조구에 비해 낮은 경향을 나타냈고, DPPH radical 소거활성에서도 거세돈육의 RC가 대조구보다 높은 항산화능을 나타냈으나 유의적인 차이는 없었고 이는 성별에 의한 차이가 큰 것으로 판단된다. 근내지방 함량과 지방산 조성은 RC 급여에 의한 영향보다는 성별에 의한 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, RC 급여에 따른 항산화 특성 패턴이 다르게 나타난 것도 위와 같은 이유인 것으로 판단된다.
