This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding gradually increasing concentrations of turmeric extract (0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4%) to smoked duck meat on its chromaticity, antibiosis, and antiseptic degree against food poisoning bacteria, number of bacteria, lipid rancidity, sensory evaluation, and preference. The brightness, red color intensity and yellow color intensity changed significantly when 0.2% turmeric extract was added and the sodium nitrate concentration was reduced. Additionally, no antibiosis or antiseptic activities against food poisoning bacteria were observed in any turmeric treated samples, whereas the number of bacteria was increased in control samples compared to turmeric treated samples after 10 days of preservation. The TBARS value decreased during storage when turmeric extract concentration increased, resulting in positive sensory evaluation of its color, succulence, taste and hardness. In the preference test, the surface and meat color increased as the concentration of turmeric extracts increased. Hardness was highest at 0.2%, whereas taste was highest between 0.2 and 0.4%. The overall preference test was highest for the 0.2% extract samples. Overall, the results indicated that addition of 0.2% turmeric to smoked duck meat will lead to better nutrition, function, and overall preference.

In this study, the physical and sensorial properties of the meat analog were studied for the purpose of improving sensory preference and mimicking animal meat. The meat analog was made with different types of liquid materials such as oil, water, lecithin, polysorbate 80, or the emulsion of these components. At the aspect of density, the sample mixed with oil was higher than the sample mixed with water. Cooking loss value was higher at the sample with water than the sample with oil and this was the result opposite to the liquid holding capacity analysis. Also, texture profile analysis result showed that the samples with medium chain triglycerides (MCT) oil only showed the highest values in all attributes except for adhesiveness. Principal component analysis was carried out to analyze sensorial properties and it showed that the overall acceptance was high when the juiciness and softness increased. This result was highly related with the addition of emulsion. Therefore, emulsion technology can be a good candidate for improving the quality of meat analog and for mimicking the taste of animal meat.

해양심층수는 수심 200 m보다 깊은 심층(深層)에 위치하고 있어 차가운 온도를 유지하고 있으며, 대장균 및 일반세균 등에 의해서도 오염 되지 않은 깨끗한 해수이다. 해양심층수는 산업적 가치가 높은 재생순환형 자원이기 때문에 이를 상업적으로 이용하기 위한 활동이 활발히 전개되고 있다. 해양심층수를 기존 식육가공품의 염지제 대체제로서, 최적인 해양심층수 처리수를 적용한 시제품을 일반 식육가공품 소세지와 비교하여 안전성과 품질특성, 미네랄 함량차이를 알아보았다. 이를 통하여 해양심층수의 염지액 대체제로서의 가능성을 검토하고 이를 이용하여 제작한 식육가공품의 품질을 검토한 결과, 안전성과 품질특성에서는 일반 식육가공품 소세지와 차이가 없었으나, 미네랄 함량은 해양심층수를 적용한 축산가공품이 더 높았다. 이를 통하여 해양심층수는 소금의 대체제와 청정미네랄로 그 활용도가 높아서 해양심층수를 이용한 새로운 식품시장이 크게 활성화될 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 식품공전 규격 검사에 의한 안전성 평가 시험방법을 이용하여 품질검사항목 분석에 의한 품질특성 평가 및 유통기한 경과에 의한 안정성을 검토하고, 시험군과 대조군간의 미네랄 함량 시험을 진행하여 그 함량을 비교, 분석한 결과 후속 연구를 통한 식품, 의약품 및 축산업에 다양하고 차별화된 식육가공품을 제조할 수 있는 가능성이 있다고 판단하였다.

본 연구는 돼지 농가의 생산성 향상 및 수익성 증대를 위한 분자 육종 기술에 적용할 유전자 마커를 개발하기 위해 수행 되었다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 돼지의 간 조직을 이용하여 RNA-Sequencing을 수행한 결과 ECI2 유전자의 SNP를 발견 하였고 발견된 SNP chr 7:g.2302809는 c.608로 608번째 C가 G로 변환되어 Threonine에서 Serine으로 아미노산이 치환되는 단일염기다형성임을 확인하였다. Berkshire 돼지 430으로 ECI2 유전자형과 육질 형질과의 연관성 분석 결과 도 체중, 적색도, 육즙 손실, 수분 함량 및 pH24hr에서 유의성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그중 GG 유전자형은 pH24hr에서 다른 유전자형에 비해 수치가 증가시키는 경향을 확인하였다. 성별에 따른 유전자형과 육질 형질과의 연관성은 거세돈에서 GG 유전자형이 육즙 손실의 감소와 pH24hr에서 유의성이 확인되었고, 암퇘지의 GG 유전자형도 수분함량이 증가되었다. 따라서 ECI2 유전자의 GG 유전자형을 가진 돼지가 육질이 더 좋은 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 ECI2의 GG 유전자형을 고정시킨다면 육질이 우수한 돼지고기 생산이 가능할 것이다. 또한 ECI2 유전자를 이용하여 품종개량 및 조기 선발 기술에 바이오마커로 활용한다면 농가의 경쟁력 강화 효과에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

Pork is a popular meat consumed in Korea. However, the consumption pattern has typically focused on preferred parts, like pork belly, which is usually broiled. This consumption pattern has increased both stocks of low fat parts and medical costs, and has thereby disturbed pork industry growth and the national health welfare. Changing the consumption patterns of preferred parts and encouraging consumption of low fat parts will improve consumers’ quality of life and also increase their benefits. Thus, this study estimated WTP (Willingness To Pay) for health funds among consumers who eat pork meat, considering the health benefits gained by consuming low fat parts and changes in preferred part consumption. The results of this study show that WTP is higher when consumers have a smaller family and a higher income; these consumers plan to increase intake of pork meat in the future and think that the promotion of low fat pork meat consumption is more important. The WTP for health funds is estimated to be 49won to 287won through Logit Model. The health benefits of low fat consumption were estimated to be 92 billion won to 539 billion won per year. Therefore, reforming low fat pork consumption not only changes the traditional consumption pattern focused on preferred parts but also leads to a variety of benefits for consumers, including health benefits.

바다속 60 km 깊이의 수압과 같은 압력을 사용하여 순간적이고 균일한 압력전달로 가열공정을 최소화함으로써 신선한 맛과 향, 텍스처, 비타민의 유지 등 품질보존을 할 수 있는 기술인 HPP는 식중독과 부패미생물을 억제하는 효과를 가져올 수 있는 기술로 현재 가장 활발히 연구되고 있는 분야이다. 기존의 열처리가 단백질의 변성, 화학적 변화, 전분의 호화, 효소의 활성에 영향을 미쳐서 보존성을 유지한다면 HPP는 열처리의 장점은 그대로 갖고 있으면서 열처리에서 야기되는 원치 않는 화학적 변화를 최소화할 수 있다는 장점을 갖고 있다 보존기간이 길어 소비자들이 우려하는 첨가물의 사용이 필수적인 육류가공품에 대해서는 초고압처리에 대한 국내 연구가 미비하여 본 연구에서는 대표적인 육가공품인 슬라이스햄에 대해 600MPa 초고압처리(0분, 4분, 6분)가 이들의 신선도에 미치는 영향을 실험하였다. 수분함량은 48~69%, 염도 1.07-1.11%에서 변화를 보이고 있었고, pH는 처음 6.4-6.5에서 6.1-6.15까지 낮아졌으나 대조군과 처리군간의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 초고압처리 후 20oC에서 보관한 일반세균 결과는 4주까지 모든 군에서 미미한 수준에서 일반미생물이 발견되었으나 5주부터는 대조군과 HPP 6분 처리군에서 105을 초과하였고 7주에는 4분 처리군, 6분처리군에서 식품으로 섭취가 불가능한 106을 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 대장균군은 20oC 가중실험으로 7주간 관찰하였음에도 불구하고 모든 군에서 대장균군이 발견되지 않았다. 육류의 단백질 신선도 판정에 사용되는 방법인 VBN은 4주차까지는 1 mg% 미만의 VBN값을 보였고 5주부터는 1~2 mg%의 값을 나타냈다. 그러나 군별 차이는 나타나지 않았다(p > 0.05). 육의 조직내 지방 산패 정도의 지표로 사용되는 TBA는 7주가 끝날 때까지 0.18 mgMA/kg 이하였고 이 수치는 신선육의 범위에 들며, 처리군별 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 실험에서는 포장재의 변성이 발생하지 않았고 가스의 발생으로 인한 부풀어 오름도 발생하지 않았는데, HPP의 효과가 전혀 관찰되지 않은 사실은 포장재의 밀착으로 인한 공기와의 차단만으로 기본적인 보존 효과를 보인 것이 아닌가 사료된다.

The objective of this study was to develop software to predict the kinetic behavior and the probability of foodborne bacterial growth on processed meat products. It is designed for rapid application by non-specialists in predictive microbiology. The software, named Foodborne bacteria Animal product Modeling Equipment (FAME), was developed using Javascript and HTML. FAME consists of a kinetic model and a probabilistic model, and it can be used to predict bacterial growth pattern and probability. In addition, validation and editing of model equation are available in FAME. The data used by the software were constructed with 5,400 frankfurter samples for the kinetic model and 345,600 samples for the probabilistic model using a variety of combinations including atmospheric conditions, temperature, NaCl concentrations and NaNO2 concentrations. Using FAME, users can select the concentrations of NaCl and NaNO2 meat products as well as storage conditions (atmosphere and temperature). The software displays bacterial growth patterns and growth probabilities, which facilitate the determination of optimal safety conditions for meat products. FAME is useful in predicting bacterial kinetic behavior and growth probability, especially for quick application, and is designed for use by non-specialists in predictive microbiology.

A protein-lipid film formed on the surface of soymilk by heating can be applied in various areas such as edible package film, cosmetic sheet, and meat analog. In this study, a colloid formulation of isolated soy protein (ISP) and soybean oil (4:1) was used to make protein-lipid films and it compared with the product using soymilk (Glycine max L. Merrill) for making a meat analog of fibrous shape. The colloid with 2.3 cm depth in a pan at 85︒C produced 8 sheets of protein-lipid films. The films were collected from the pan as a bundle to make a fibrous shape. Color parameters and texture profile analysis (TPA) were measured depending on the order of the film formation. Color parameters (Hunter-values) of the films using ISP and oil notably decreased the lightness and increased the redness as the order of the films. And changes of color differences in the films using ISP and oil were larger than those in the films using soymilk. TPA Parameters of the film such as hardness, resilience, springiness, cohesiveness, and gumminess were increased as increasing the order of the films formation. In the films using ISP and oil, lipid concentration was the highest in the first formed film rather than other films. However, in the films using soymilk, lipid concentration was similar among the order of the films. Consequently, the films using ISP and oil were produced non-uniformity of color, texture, and lipid composition in the order of the film formation compared with the films using soymilk. Combination of the soy protein-lipid films as a bundle could be used as a meat analog which had non-uniformity and fibrous shape.

Chemical cross-linking of different plant protein-based meat analogues was examined based on protein solubility of 8 different buffer solutions. The specific chemical bond and their interactions were further analyzed. Isolated soy protein (ISP), mung bean protein (MBP), peanut protein (PNP), pea protein (PP) and wheat gluten (WG) were texturized using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder at 50% moisture content. The results showed that protein solubility of meat analogues significantly decreased after extrusion, compared to their raw materials (P<0.05). The protein solubility of meat analogues increased with increasing reagent in buffer solutions. Hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, disulfide bonds and their interactions were found in the structure of meat analogues. The highest amount of covalent bond was observed in PP-meat analogues followed by ISP, WG, PNP, and the lowest MBP-meat analogues. The study demonstrated that PP are valuable raw materials for the development of meat analogue, which could promote high cross-linking bonds.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of moisture content and screw speed on the physical properties of high moisture meat analogue. Extrusion conditions were moisture content (65, 70%), screw speed (150, 200 rpm), a fixed barrel temperature (160℃), and feeder rate (100 g/min). Specific mechanical energy (SME) input decreased as moisture content increased from 65 to 70%. The high moisture meat analogue at 65% moisture content and 150 rpm had higher water absorption capacity, elasticity, cohesiveness, chewiness and cutting strength than those of high moisture meat analogue at 70% moisture content and 150 rpm. However, the high moisture meat analogue at 70% moisture content and screw speed 200 rpm had a lower integrity index, elasticity, cohesiveness, chewiness and cutting strength than those of high moisture meat analogue at 65% moisture content and 200 rpm. In conclusion, the tested physical properties of high moisture meat analogue were more affected by moisture content than screw speed.

Both carcass yield and meat quality are important indices for beef grade, and consequently they are crucial factors for determining beef consumption and price. However, an optimal slaughter time for satisfying high carcass yield and meat quality has not been systemically evaluated, and identifying the time requires their relationship. Therefore, the objective of this study is 1) to examine the distribution of carcass yield by quality index, and 2) to investigate correlation between factors for judging grades of carcass yield and meat quality. We applied statistical analysis (ANOVA and correlation) for the data of Hanwoo (892 data points: bulls=311, cows=163, steers=418) slaughtered from 1995 to 2006. As a result of ANOVA, the mean difference of carcass yield in quality grade 3 was different with grade 1+, 1, and 2(p<0.05). In the correlation analysis, the meat quality grade showed a positive weak correlation with carcass yield (r=0.259, p<0.05), but was negatively correlated to carcass weight and back-fat thickness which were factors for carcass yield index calculation (-0.225 and -0.154, respectively, p<0.05). The results provide an initial idea for relating carcass yield and quality so that we can use it for determining the optimal time for slaughting.

The aim of this research was to investigate the anatomical location of muscles and their meat quality traits, including muscle pH, water-holding capacity, meat color, tenderness, and sarcomere length, of Korean native black goat(KNBG). Five male KNBGs of 18 months of age were slaughtered and four major muscles-longissimus dorsi(LD), psoas major(PM), semimembranosus (SM), and gluteus medius(GM)-were sampled to determine proximate analysis and meat quality traits. There were no significant(p>0.05) differences in chemical components among the four muscles. The water-holding capacity(WHC) of the four muscles was significantly(p<0.05) affected by muscle type, although the pHu and meat color were not significantly(p>0.05) different among the four muscles. The Warner-Bratzler shear force of PM(4.07 kg/㎠) was significantly(p<0.05) lower than that of SM(5.57 kg/㎠) muscle. In addition, the sarcomere length of PM(1.99 ㎛) was significantly(p<0.05) longer than that of SM(1.72 ㎛) and LD (1.76 ㎛). Results suggest that the lower shear force of PM muscle is due to its longer sarcomere length.

To prolong the shelf-life of chicken breast meat, samples were treated with gel packs containing slow-released chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas at 7~15 ppm for eight days at 4℃. The microbial, physicochemical properties and sensory evaluation of the treated samples were investigated. The total number of bacteria in the control increased during storage and showed 6.78 log CFU/g on the 8th day of storage, but ClO2 gas treatments showed 6.24~6.58 log CFU/g at the same time. The initial pH of chicken breast meat was 6.00 and gradually increased during storage. And ClO2 gas treatments did not show any significant difference from the control during storage period, but maintained a generally lower pH than that of the control. The lightness, redness, and yellowness during storage were not significantly different between the control and the 7~10 ppm ClO2 gas treatments. However, as the storage period was increased, the redness of 15 ppm ClO2 gas treatment was reduced. The cooking loss and shear force were not different between the control and ClO2 gas treatments during the storage period. Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) increased in the control from the 6th day of storage and 23.80 mg% in the 8th day of storage. However, VBN of ClO2 treatments showed lower than that of the control. In the change of sensory evaluation during storage, 10 ppm ClO2 treatment showed the highest preference in odor, appearance and overall acceptance during storage period.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary addition of pegmatite for Hanwoo steers on the carcass characteristics. Based upon the findings yielded by the research referenced above, the results may be summed up as follows : Oleic acid was for the most part, higher as T2 plots (45.40%) and T3 plots (44.20%) compared with Con. plots (42.50%). As well, this study has shown that the treatment plots in unsaturated fatty acid (UFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) were largely higher than that of Con. plots, and of them all, T2 plots were highest. As for the melting point of fat, T2 plots (29℃) were largely lower than that of Con. plots (31.9℃). This study has shown that the treatment plots were significant higher as the content of total essential amino acid and total amino acid and inosine monophosphate in the nucleotide compound for the Hanwoo beef was treatment plots when compared with Con. plots.

Reanalysis using the US Food and Drug Administration Hazard Analysis method was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the current Critical Control Point (CCP) configuration for non-thermal processes such as meat packaging plants and butcher shops. During non-heat treatment processing without the process of removing or reducing contaminated microorganisms, it is necessary to set and control the incoming material inspection step with the CCP since this step is essential to prevent the inflow of contaminants through incoming materials. The temperature control of the final product storage refrigerated room can be managed by the prerequisite program. However, the CCP setting of the refrigerated room prior to shipment of the meat packaging plant in which the cold chain system should be maintained in the following distribution stage is recognized. It is not an effective method to install a metal detector and manage it with CCP for metal hazard control. Improving hygienic cleaning guidelines and enhancing hygiene training are proactive and effective measures against metal particle contamination.
