Physicochemical properties and storage stability of plant-based alternative meat prepared with low-fat soybean powder (LPAM) treated by supercritical-CO2 and those of full-fat soybean powder (FPAM) were compared. Ash and crude protein contents were higher in LPAM than in FRAM. Water absorption capacity and oil absorption capacity were significantly higher in LPAM than in FPAM. Water binding capacity was higher in LPAM than in FPAM during a 20 days storage period at 5℃ and pH was significantly lower in LPAM than in FPAM after a 5~10 days storage period. Hardness, gumminess and chewiness significantly increased with the increase in the storage period, and the three were significantly higher in LPAM than in FPAM after 10 days and 20 days of storage. The acid value showed no remarkable difference according to the storage period in LPAM; however, it was significantly higher in FPAM than in LPAM after 20 days of storage. The peroxide value and TBA value were significantly increased according to the storage period, and were significantly lower iin LPAM than in FPAM during all the storage periods. Therefore, the use of low-fat soybean powder may be effective in improving oxidative stability during storage in the production of plant-based alternative meat.

The present study was conducted to examine the effect of soybean silage as a crude protein supplement for corn silage in the diet of Hanwoo steers. The first experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacing corn silage with soybean silage at different levels on rumen fermentation characteristics in vitro. Commercially-purchased corn silage was replaced with 0, 4, 8, or 12% of soybean silage. Half gram of the substrate was added to 50 mL of buffer and rumen fluid from Hanwoo cows, and then incubated at 39°C for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h. At 24 h, the pH of the control (corn silage only) was lower (p<0.05) than that of soybeansupplemented silages, and the pH numerically increased along with increasing proportions of soybean silage. Other rumen parameters, including gas production, ammonia nitrogen, and total volatile fatty acids, were variable. However, they tended to increase with increasing proportions of soybean silage. In the second experiment, 60 Hanwoo steers were allocated to one of three dietary treatments, namely, CON (concentrate with Italian ryegrass), CS (concentrate with corn silage), CS4% (concentrate with corn silage and 4% of soybean silage). Animals were offered experimental diets for 110 days during the growing period and then finished with typified beef diets that were commercially available to evaluate the effect of soybean silage on animal performance and meat quality. With the soybean silage, the weight gain and feed efficiency of the animal were more significant than those of the other treatments during the growing period (p<0.05). However, the dietary treatments had little effect on meat quality except for meat color. In conclusion, corn silage mixed with soybean silage even at a lower level provided a greater ruminal environment and animal performances, particularly with increased carcass weight and feed efficiency during growing period.

This study investigated the Texture Profile Analysis and Sensory characteristics analysis of 6 different Pork Meat-substituted Soybean Curd (PMSC) products with different gluten-fiber (GF) contentst. PMSC types were PMSC-GF 5%, PMSC-GF 10%, PMSC-GF 15%, PMSC-GF 20%, PMSC-GF 25%, and PMSC-GF 30%. The lightness (ΔL value) of cooked PMSC was decreased, whereas the redness (Δa value) and yellowness (Δb value) of cooked PMSC was not changed. Texturometer (TA XT Plus, England) was used for objective test and hardness, springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness of sensory characteristics were measured. PMSC with GF 5% to 15% were characterized high hardness score but PMSC with GF 20% to 30% were not significantly different. PMSC-GF 30% was the highest score in springiness and PMSC-GF 5% was the lowest. PMSC-GF 25% and 30% were high cohesiveness score but was not significantly different (p<0.05). Fourteen sensory descriptors were developed to evaluate the sensory characteristics of PMSC. The sensory characteristics of PMSC were sweetness, saltiness, springiness, hardness, chewiness, meat flavor, odor, loose particle and so on. Six different PMSC showed no significant difference in the attributes of loose particle. But PMSC-GF 5% and PMSC-GF 10% showed significant difference in the attributes of hardness. PMSC-GF 25% and PMSC-GF 30% showed no significant difference in the attributes of hardness. PMSC-GF 30% was the highest springiness score and PMSC-GF 5%, PMSC-GF 10% and PMSC-GF 15% showed no significant difference in the attributes of springiness. Overall consumer acceptance was surveyed. PMSC-GF 5%, PMSC-GF 10% and PMSC-GF 15% showed no significant difference in the attributes of color. PMSC-GF 25% and PMSC-GF 30% was the highest in the attributes of springiness and high moistureness, taste acceptance and overall acceptance. PMSC-GF 5%, PMSC-GF 10% and PMSC-GF 15% showed no significant difference in overall consumer preference but PMSC-GF 25% and PMSCGF 30% showed significant difference. Consequently it is indicated that texture of cooked PMSC-GF 25% and PMSC-GF 30% is very important sensory characteristics.
