Studies on Meat Productivity and Functional Properties of Spent Hens

노폐계육의 생산성 및 가공특성에 관한 연구

To learn more about the productivity of edible meat and its functional properties of spent hen, 60 White Leghorn fowls at 20 month of age were randomly divided into 6 groups, 10 hen for each group, and processed. As the productivity of edible meat, the yield of dressed carcass, giblets, cut-up meat, and breast and leg (thigh and drustick) muscles were determined. The approximate chemical composition, the content of salt-soluble protein, the emulsifying capacity and W.H.C. of breast and leg muscle were measured as the functional properties. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The average live weight of spent hen was 1,576.7g from which the yield of dressed carcass and giblets were 998.9g(63.4%) and 75.3g(4.8%) respectively. It means the yield of ready-to-cook form was 1,074.2g(68.2%) and the inedible byproducts was 502.5g (31.8%). 2. The average, weight of each part of cut-up chicken were: neck 41.0g(4.1%), wings 135.9g (13.6%), breast 276.7g (27.7%), legs 323.6g (42.4%). back 176.1g(17.6%) and the cutting-loss was 45.6g(4.6%). 3. The average weight of total edible muscle from breast and leg was 51.5g(85.86% of breast and leg cut weight) and the percentages based on the carcass and live weights were 51.6% and 32.7%, respectively. 4. The contents of H$_2$O, protein, fat and water-protein ratio of breast muscle were 72.95%, 20.54%, 1.59% and 3.55, respectively and those of leg muscle were 71.9%, 19.12%, 3.96% and 3.76%, respectively. 5. The salt-soluble protein contents of breast and leg muscle were 7.97% and 6.26% and their concentrations based on the total protein content were 38.8% and 32.74%, respectively. 6. The emulsifying capacity of breast and leg muscle was 43.23$m\ell$and 43.23$m\ell$, respectively. 7. The W. H. C- of breast and leg muscle was 54.23% and 52.61%, respectively.

부화후 20개월된 백색케그혼종 산란노폐계 60수를 무작위로 10수씩, 6개 군으로 나누어 도계처리하고 가식계육을 얻어, 산육성과 육제품원료육으로서의 가공적성을 측정 조사한바, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 평균 생체중은 1,576.7g이였으며, 도체중은 998.9g(63.4%), 가식내장육량은 75.3g(4.8 g)인바, 이를 합친 판매(R.T.C)형 계육량은 1,074.2g(68.2%)으로, 불가식도계 부산물량은 502.5g (31.8%) 였다. 2. 도체 (평균중량 998.9g)의 부위별분할육량은 각각 두 41.0g(4.1%), 익 135.9g(13.6%), 흉 276.7g(27.7%), 고경 323.6g(32.4%), 배 176.1g(17.6%)였으며, 분활감량은 45.6g(4.6%)였다. 3. 뇌 및 고경부터의 가식근육량은 각각 241.1g 및 274.2.g, 도합 515.4g으로 분할육량대 85.86%, 도체량대 51.6%, 생체중대 32.7%였다. 4. 가식근육량(515.4g)과 가식내장육량(75.3g) 합친 수당가식육량은 590.7g으로 생체중대 37.5%였다. 5. 뇌근의 수분, 단백질 및 지방함량은 각각 72.95%, 20.54% 및 15.9%였고, 고경근은 각 71.9%, 19.12% 및 3.96%였으며, 또 뇌근과 고경근의 수분ㆍ단백화는 각각 3.55 및 3.76이였다. 6. 뇌근과 그경근의 염예성단백질은 각각 7.97% 및 6.26%였고, 이의 전단백질에 대한 농도(%)는 각각 38.8% 및 32.4%였으며, 또 이들의 유화력(oil $m\ell$/100$m\ell$) 은 각각 4.37$m\ell$ 및 43.23$m\ell$로 단백질의 량과 질적으로 고경근보다 뇌근이 우수하였다. 7. 뇌근과 고 근의 보수력은 각각 54.23% 및 52.61%로 적시 뇌근이 높은편이었다.
