This study investigated the quality characteristics of convenient chicken porridge prepared with fresh ginseng powder (FGP). The porridge made with the addition of FGP showed significantly higher or similar pH at 5.99-6.13 compared to porridge made without adding FGP. The convenient chicken porridge with FGP had lower viscosity and higher spreadability than the control group (p<0.05). This porridge exhibited higher lightness (L) and yellowness (b) values but a lower redness (a) value than the control group (p<0.05). The porridge made with the addition of 0.4% blanched FGP (BG0.4) displayed higher total polyphenol content, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities than the other types of chicken porridge (all p<0.05). The porridge with the addition of FGP showed weaker “rice grain size”, “glossiness”, “appearance cohesiveness”, “cooked rice aroma”, “sweet taste”, “texture cohesiveness”, “thickness”, and “stickiness” than the control group (all p<0.05). The appearance and flavor acceptance were significantly higher or similar for the porridge samples made with the addition of 0.2% non-blanched FGP (NBG0.2) and 0.4% non-blanched FGP (NBG0.4) when compared with those of the control group.

Chicken embryonic stem (ES) cells have great potential and provide a powerful tool to investigate embryonic development and to manipulate genetic modification in a genome. However, very limited studies are available on the functional characterization and robust expansion of chicken ES cells compared to other species. Here, we have developed a method to generate chicken embryonic stem cell-like cells under pluripotent culture conditions. The chicken embryonic stem cell-like cells were cultivated long-term over several passages of culture without loss of pluripotency in vitro and had the specific expression of key stem cell markers. Furthermore, they showed severe changes in morphology and a significant reduction in pluripotent genes after siRNA-mediated NANOG knockdown. Collectively, these results demonstrate the efficient generation of chicken embryonic stem cell-like cells from EGK stage X blastoderm-derived singularized cells and will facilitate their potential use for various purposes, such as biobanking genetic materials and understanding stemness in the fields of animal biotechnology.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of emulsion-type chicken breast sausages containing black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) powder. The chicken breast and BSFL powder were added at various mixing ratios (C:chicken breast 56% and BSFL powder 0%, 1%:chicken breast 55% and BSFL powder 1%, 2%:chicken breast 54% and BSFL powder 2%, 3%:chicken breast 53% and BSFL powder 3%). The pH, moisture content, and water holding capacity of the sausages increased with the powder amount. In the instrumental color evaluation, the L* and b* values were significantly different among the samples (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in a* value (P>0.05) with the amount of powder added. Volatile basic nitrogen and acid value tended to increase with the amount of BSFL powder. The total phenolic content tended to increase, but the value of IC50 according to DPPH radical scavenging decreased as the amount of powder increased. This study concluded that BSFL powder can be used in meat products processing as a substitute for meat protein and may also improve antioxidant activity.

본 연구는 흰점박이꽃무지 유충 분말의 첨가량에 따른 닭 가슴살 소시지의 품질특성에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 흰점박이꽃무지 유충 분말 첨가 유화형 닭고기 소시지와 첨가하지 않은 대조구 간의 일반성분 차이는 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 흰점박이꽃무지 유충 분말 첨가량에 따라 명도는 감소하고 황색도는 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 흰점박이꽃무지 유충 분말의 높은 pH가 육제품의 pH를 상승시켜 가열감량은 감소시키고 보수력은 증가시키는 긍정적인 영향 을 보였다. 유화형 소시지의 물성 중 경도에서 흰점박이꽃 무지 유충 분말 첨가구가 대조구 보다 높은 값을 나타내 조직감에 변화를 주었으며, 자유라디칼 활성도와 총 페놀 함량은 흰점박이꽃무지 유충 분말의 첨가량에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 흰점박이꽃무지 유충 분말의 우수한 항산화 활성이 육제품에서도 발현이 가능 하며 기능성 첨가물로서 흰점박이꽃무지 유충 분말을 활용 한 기능성 소시지 제조 또한 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

A number of Korean Chicken breeds were registered in Domestic Animal Diversity Information System (DAD-IS, http://dad.fao.org/) of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Evaluation of genetic diversity and relationship of local breeds is an important factor towards the identification of unique and valuable genetic resources. Therefore, this study aimed to analysis the genetic diversity and relationship of 22 Korean Chicken breeds using 12 microsatellite (MS) markers. The mean number of alleles for each variety was 5.52, ranging from a 3.75 (Leghorn F; NF) to a 7.0 (Ross). The most diverse breed was the Hanhyup3 (HCC), which had the highest expected heterozygosity (HExp) (0.754) and polymorphic information content (PIC) (0.711). The NF was the least diverse population, having the lowest HExp (0.467) and PIC (0.413). As a result of the principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) and factorial correspondence analysis (FCA) confirmed that Hy-line Brown (HL) and Lohmann Brown (LO) are very close to each other and that Leghorn and Rhode Island Red (RIR) are clearly distinguished from other groups. Thus, the reliability and power of identification using 12 types of MS markers were improved, and the genetic diversity and probability of individual discrimination were confirmed through statistical analysis. This study is expected to be used as basic data for the identification of Korean chicken breeds, and our results indicated that these multiplex PCR marker sets will have considerable applications in population genetic structure analysis.

Fowl adenovirus serotype-4 (FAdV-4) infection, also known as hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome (HHS), is one of the most prevalent diseases in the Korean poultry industry. Therefore, an effective vaccination against FAdV-4 should be developed for prevention of HHS infection. However, a standard animal model with significant pathologic characteristics has not been established for evaluation of HHS vaccine efficacy. In this study, we comparatively evaluated FAdV-4 pathogenicity from specific- pathogen-free (SPF) chickens using FAdV-4 strain (ADL091024) isolated in laying chickens in Korea according to chicken age, passage number and virus titers. In brief, FAdV-4 passaged four times in yolk sac of SPF eggs with the highest viral titers could induce the most severe clinical signs in 1-day-old chickens, similar to natural HHS outbreaks. Furthermore, the efficacy of a newly developed attenuated live FAdV-4 vaccine candidate was successfully determined using the established 1-day-old SPF chickens. There was no significant pathogenicity based on the criteria such as mortality, body weight, gross lesions, histological lesions and virus detection rates in the vaccination and non-challenge control groups. However, the challenge group without vaccination showed significant pathogenicity including hepatic necrosis, histological lesion scores in the liver and heart, virus replication and decreased body weight gain. In conclusion, the chicken challenge model established in this report was proposed for consistent and reliable evaluation of FAdV- 4 vaccine efficacy.

본 연구는 감마선 및 전자선 조사에 의한 닭고기 원료 사료 내에 존재하는 주요 위해 미생물을 비열처리 살균 효과를 검증하기 위하여 진행되었다. 일반세균, E. coli 및 Salmonella의 위해 미생물을 분쇄 닭고기 원료사료에 접종 후 3, 5, 7, 10 kGy의 전자선과 감마선으로 조사하였다. 전자선과 감마선 모두 3 kGy의 조사 시 시험된 미생물을 검출 한계 이하로 사멸시켜 분쇄 육류 원료 사료의 경우 3 kGy의 흡수선량이 충분한 비열 살균 조건임을 보여주었다. 방사선 조사에 의한 원료 사료의 품질 지표 변화를 알아보기 위하여 분쇄 닭고기의 조사 처리 후 pH 변화, 색도 측정, 전자코 이취 분석을 수행하였다. pH와 색도의 경우 감마선 및 전자선 조사에 의해 유의미하게 변화하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 전자코 이취 시험의 경우 감마선 조사의 경우 3 kGy의 저선량 조사부터 이취가 발생되기 시작하였으며 10 kGy 조사 시 급격하게 이취의 정도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 전자선 조사 역시 3 kGy의 조사부터 이취가 발생하였으며 5 kGy의 선량 이후 흡수선량이 증가함에 따라 이취가 점진적으로 증가하였다. 본 연구 결과 3 kGy의 저선량에서도 닭고기를 원료로한 펫푸드의 비열 살균 효과를 충분하게 이루어짐을 확인하였고 품질 지표에도 부정적인 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 비열처리 펫푸드의 살균 기술 개발은 국내 펫푸드 시장의 활성화와 반려 동물의 복지 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

This study examined the quality characteristics of chicken breast emulsion-type sausages manufactured with different contents of Zanthoxylumschinifolium (Z.S.) powder (0, 1, 2 and 3%). The changes to the samples upon inclusion of Z.S. powder were monitored by measuring the proximate composition, pH, color, cooking yield, viscosity, texture profile analysis and protein solubility. The sausages manufactured with increasing amounts of Z.S. powder showed a decrease significantly in fat content (p<0.05), whereas the ash content increased. The pH of the cooked samples also decreased significantly with the increasing content of Z.S. powder (p<0.05). Before and after cooked lightness significantly decreased as the Z.S. powder content increased (p<0.05). The redness of the cooked samples also increased significantly with an increasing amount of Z.S. powder (p<0.05). Samples that contained 2% and 3% of Z.S. powder resulted in a significantly larger cooking yield compared to the control sample and the one containing 1% of Z.S. powder (p<0.05). The viscosity of the uncooked samples also increased with increasing amount of Z.S. powder. Furthermore, the samples containing 3% of Z.S. powder showed significantly lower levels of hardness and springiness than the control sample (p<0.05). In addition, the sample with 3% of Z.S. powder contained showed significantly higher total protein and myofibrillar protein levels than the other samples (p<0.05). Overall, the 3% of Z.S. powder chicken breast emulsion-type sausage performed well in most quality characteristic categories, and this formulation would be suitable for use in food manufacturing.

Poultry is one of the three major meats in Korea and is a representative source of protein. The annual per capita consumption of chicken has been showing steady growth trends, with an increase of approximately 89% in 2018 compared to that of 2005. In this study, we investigated the domestic chicken production and consumption, and conducted an overall study on the domestic chicken industry. By using consumer panel data, we analyzed the characteristics of consumers buying chicken. Specifically, poultry was categorized into two types: traditional raw chicken and processed chicken, which emphasizes convenience. The purchase of raw chickens has generally been on the decline. From these, however, the proportion of native Korean chicken and chicken cuts is on the rise. Processed chicken, on the other hand, continues to grow, especially online. After examining the consumption characteristics of consumers who buy chicken, it was found that the purchase share increased with increasing age of native Korean chickens, whereas the purchase share increased with decreasing age of processed chicken. Based on these results, we confirmed that it is necessary to establish differentiated marketing and promotion strategies for each consumer target for the growth of chicken market.

브로일러의 생산성과 닭고기의 품질에 미치는 Bacillus. subtillus, Streptomyces galilaeus 및 Sphingobacteriaceae로 구성된 사료용 복합생균제(PFM, probiotic feed mixture)의 효과를 조사하였다. 병아리 (Ross 308) 240마리를 4개의 처리구로 나누어 35일간 사육하였다. 처리구는 사료용 복합 생균제를 함유하지 않은 대조구(CON, control), 일반생균제(CP3, commercial probiotics 0.3%), 사료용 복합 생균제 3(PFM3, 사료용 복합 생균제 0.3%), 사료용 복합 생균제 5(PFM5, 사료용 복합 생균제 0.5%)로 구분하였다. 체중은 CON과 비교할 때 CP3, PFM3, PFM5가 높았고 PFM3, PFM5는 CP3에 비해 우수하였다(p<0.05). F낭, 흉선, 비장의 무게 및 IgG 수준은 CON과 비교할 때 PFM3, PFM5 및 CP3에서 증가하였으며 PFM3, PFM5는 CP3에 비해 높았다(p<0.05). 맹장의 Lactobacillus 균수는 PFM3, PFM5 및 CP3를 섭취한 브로일러가 CON에 비해서 높았으나 E.coli, Salmonella, coliforms, 총 호기성 균수는 감소하였다(p<0.05). PFM3 및 PFM5를 섭취한 닭가슴살의 보수력은 CON 및 CP3와 비교할 때 증가하였다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 Bacillus subtillus, Streptomyces galilaeus 및 Sphingobacteriaceae를 포함하는 사료용 복합생균제 0.3%가 브로일러의 생산성과 닭고기 품질향상에 기여할 수 있음을 나타낸다.
