Food hygiene practices must be maintained from farm to table in order to prevent contamination by microorganisms. This study was conducted to investigate consumer hygiene practices related to the refrigerator storage of meat, including a microbial analysis, monitoring of refrigerator temperatures and consumer surveys of female homeowners in the capital area of Korea. Home refrigerator temperatures were maintained above $5^{\circ}C$ in 26 (19.7%) of the 132 houses investigated. The percentage of the refrigerators with a total microbial count over $10^2\;CFU/100\;cm^2$ was 14.4%. No E. coli, Salmonella spp. or Listeria monocytogenes microbes were detected. However, Staphylococcus aureus was detected in 14 houses (10.6%). The only statistically significant difference in hygiene practices between the non-contamination group and contamination group was in the last time of refrigerator cleaning (p<0.01), as determined by the consumer survey. To improve food hygiene when using a refrigerator, raw materials must be packaged, meat should be stored only on a designated shelf, and cooked foods must be contained to prevent cross-contamination. The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly, at least once a month, and refrigerator thermometers should be monitored below $5^{\circ}C$ in order to keep food safe.

This study developed predictive models to evaluate the kinetic behaviors of Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus in milk during storage at various temperatures. B. cereus and S. aureus (3 Log CFU/mL) were inoculated into milk and stored at $10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $30^{\circ}C$, as well as $5^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively, while bacterial populations were enumerated. The growth data were fitted to the modified Gompertz model to estimate kinetic parameters, including the maximum specific growth rate (${\mu}_{max}$; Log CFU/[$mL{\cdot}h$]), lag phase duration (LPD; h), lower asymptote ($N_0$; Log CFU/mL), and upper asymptote ($N_{max}$; Log CFU/mL). To describe the kinetic behavior of B. cereus and S. aureus, the parameters were fitted to the square root model as a function of storage temperature. Finally, the developed models were validated with the observed data, and Bias (B) and Accuracy (A) factors were calculated. Cell counts of both bacteria increased with storage time. Primary modeling yielded the following parameters; ${\mu}_{max}$: 0.14-0.75 and 0.06-0.51 Log CFU/mL/h; LPD: 1.78-14.03 and 0.00-1.44 h, $N_0$: 3.10-3.37 and 2.09-3.07 Log CFU/mL, and $N_{max}$: 7.59-8.87 and 8.60-9.32 Log CFU/mL for B. cereus and S. aureus, respectively. Secondary modeling yielded a determination of coefficient ($R^2$) of 0.926.0.996. B factors were 1.20 and 0.94, and A factors were 1.16 and 1.08 for B. cereus and S. aureus, respectively. Thus, the mathematical models developed here should be useful in describing the kinetic behaviors of B. cereus and S. aureus in milk during storage.

We determined the optimum pretreatment conditions such as pH and time for swelling duck feet and investigated the effects of the extracting method, such as water bath (WB), pressure cooker (PC), and microwave oven (MO), on quality characteristics of the duck feet gelatin for improving utilization of duck feet as a novel source of gelatin. The soaking solution of pH 1 among pH 1-14 with unit intervals was selected due to the highest yield. The quality characteristics of the gelatin tested were color, pH, gel strength, viscosity, and melting point. For the extracted gelatin with different methods, the CIE $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ values were in the following order: MO>PC>WB (p<0.05), WB>PC>MO (p<0.05) and PC>MO>WB (p<0.05), respectively. The gelatin extracted using WB showed the highest pH and that extracted using MO showed the lowest pH (p<0.05). The gel strength, viscosity, and melting point were the highest for MO (p<0.05). The gel strength and melting point were the lowest for PC (p<0.05). No significant difference was found in viscosity between the gelatins extracted using WB and PC (p>0.05). The quality characteristic of duck feet gelatin was affected by extracting methods, and MO extraction can be one of the effective methods for duck feet gelatin.

This study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant activity of oven-dried ($60^{\circ}C$) tomato powder (TP) as affected by water solubility and to evaluate the effects of TP on the physico-chemical properties, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of emulsified pork sausages with two levels of TP (1% and 2 %). After fresh tomatoes were homogenized and dried at $60^{\circ}C$ oven, they were extracted by stirring with water. Then, the aqueous solution was filtered, and water soluble and insoluble tomato powders were obtained with freeze drying. In experiment I, total phenolic contents in oven-dried tomato powder, water soluble and insoluble powder were more than 2 g/100 g. The radical scavenging activity and iron-chelation ability of the water-insoluble extracts were higher than those of dried TP and water-soluble extracts. In experiment II, pH values and Hunter L values of pork sausages formulated with TP were reduced. However, hunter a and b values were higher than those of the control, and those effects were increased with increased levels of TP. 2-Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance values of pork sausages containing TP were lower than that of the control during refrigerated storage, regardless of the TP level. These results indicated that TP could be used as a natural color agent and antioxidant in meat products without defects.

The aim of this study was to investigate the quality properties of beef jerky replaced salt with soy sauce, red pepper paste, and soybean paste. The quality properties of beef jerky including final water activity ($a_w$), moisture content, pH, color, shear force, total plate counts, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values, and sensory evaluations were investigated. The sliced beef samples were marinated in salt (control), soy sauce (T1), red pepper paste (T2), and soybean paste (T3) for 24 h and then dried at $70^{\circ}C$ for 6-8 h. The water activity of finished beef jerky varied from 0.72 to 0.70. The water activity for control and T1 samples decreased more rapidly as drying proceeded up to 6 h. The samples with salt replacement showed a lower pH and lightness than the control (p<0.05). The T1 sample showed a significant decrease in total plate counts after 21 d of storage (p<0.05). The TBARS for all treatments increased with storage days (p<0.05). The TBARS were significantly lower in T2 and T3 samples compared to control and T1 until 21 d of storage (p<0.05). The samples with salt replacement showed a lower intensity of saltiness than the control. Sensory evaluations found that the replaced soy sauce of beef jerky samples had better overall acceptability scores than the other treatment samples. It was concluded that replacing salt with soy sauce can delay lipid oxidation and enhance the sensory acceptance of beef jerkies.

This study was conducted to determine the meat quality characteristics of pork belly from 3 different two-way crossbreeds of Yorkshire${\times}$Landrace (YL), Yorkshire${\times}$Berkshire (YB), and Yorkshire${\times}$Chester White (YC), which were domesticated for Korean consumers. Twenty pigs from each crossbreed (total n=60) were randomly selected when they reached the 110-120 kg range of market weight, slaughtered, and cooled at $0^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The pork bellies on the left side of the cooled carcasses were then sampled and analyzed. The pH of pork bellies was the lowest in YC among the crossbreds. There was no significant difference in fat content by crossbred, but YB bellies had the lowest moisture content (p<0.05). The cooking loss of YB bellies was lower than those of others (p<0.05). The TBARS values in YB was significantly higher than those of the others at 14 d. YL bellies had a higher percentage of stearic acid, oleic acid, and MUFA than the other breeds, while YB and YC had a higher percentage of myristic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and n-6 fatty acids than the YB (p<0.05). PUFA content and P/S were significantly higher in YC compared with YL. Except for arginine, the concentrations of most free amino acids were higher in YB bellies than in others, (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation scores of bellies were higher for YC than for other breeds (p<0.05).

This study aimed to apply the Parallux system to detect (fluoro)quinone antibiotics residues in raw bovine milk. The immunogen enabled the generation of a specific antiserum with a titer of 1/40,000. The $Parallax^{TM}$ kit using the antibody displayed $IC_{50}$ value of 10 to 150 ppb for (fluoro)quinolone antibiotics. $Parallax^{TM}$ kit was also sensitive for the detection of incurred (fluoro)quinolone at Korean Maximum Residual Levels in raw bovine milk as the result of dose response test. Cross reactivities of the antibody with the common (fluoro)quinolones were determined to be norfloxacin, 100%; enrofloxacin, 100%; ciprofloxacin, 100%; danofloxacin, 100%; nalidixic acid, 40%. Lower detection limit (LOD) values of the $Parallax^{TM}$ kit in raw bovine milk were determined to be norfloxacin, 4 ppb; enrofloxacin, 5 ppb; danofloxacin, 5 ppb; ciprofloxacin, 5 ppb and nalidixic acid, 10 ppb. The $Parallax^{TM}$ kit was run 8 times with five different concentrations of norfloxacin to determine the coefficient of variation (CV, %) of intra-assay, which was between 2.7% and 11.8%. To confirm the precision among kit batches for the inter-assay, five different batch kits were tested with 2 different concentration of norfloxacin. The CVs of the inter assay were 4.2% at 50 ppb, and 7.2% at 10 ppb norfloxacin, respectively.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of sun-dried Hanwoo beef jerky added with Salicornia herbacea (SH). Sliced Hanwoo beef shank were marinated and sun-dried at $28-30^{\circ}C$, relative humidity (RH) 30-35% for 3.5 h. The physicochemical and microbiological traits of the Hanwoo beef jerky were analyzed during the aerobically packaged storage at $25^{\circ}C$. The water activities of beef jerky with 0.5% and 1.0% SH were lower than those of the control at 0 d (p<0.05). The pH values of beef jerky with SH were significantly higher than those of the control (p<0.05). The beef jerky with SH and ascorbic acid showed significantly lower TBARS values than the control (p<0.05). The beef jerky with SH showed a significantly lower redness ($a^*$) than the control (p<0.05). Total plate count (TPC) of beef jerky with 1.0% SH was significantly lower than that of the control during the storage of 20 d (p<0.05). Yeast/mold was detected in the control and beef jerky with SH after storage periods of 10 and 20 d, but was not detected in jerky with ascorbic acid. With regard to the sensory properties, beef jerky with SH showed significantly greater flavor scores than the others (p<0.05). The result shows that SH powder can be used to increase the sensory quality and microbial safety of beef jerky.

The effects of different cations on its composition and flavor characteristics of pidan white and yolk produced with duck egg in comparison to its fresh egg were investigated. Mineral content such as calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium were significantly increased in pidan yolk irrespective of its cations in pickle solution in comparison to the fresh yolk (P<0.05). It confirmed the migration of minerals from the pickling solution to the egg. However, calcium and magnesium was found lower in 0.2% $PbO_2$ treated pidan. Less pidan flavor compounds were generated in pidan white produced with the aid of 0.2% $PbO_2$. It confirmed that binding of lead prevent the maillard reaction in the pidan treated with $PbO_2$. Benzaldehyde, ketones, alcohol and acid found in the pidan white treated with 0.2% $ZnCl_2$ reveals that volatiles are generated most likely from maillard reaction. However, pidan yolk of both 0.2% $PbO_2$ and 0.2% $ZnCl_2$ showed higher generation of volatiles more likely from yolk lipids. Butanal, pentanal, hexanal, and heptanal are of those aldehydes found in 0.2% $ZnCl_2$ treated pidan yolk whereas hexanal is the only aldehyde detected in 0.2% $PbO_2$ treated pidan yolk. Thus, cations in the pickling solution affect the flavor characteristics of pidan white and yolk.

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of various levels of mungbean flour (MF) (0-2.4%) on the quality characteristics of pork model sausages (PMS) in experiment 1 and also select the optimum level of MF to enhance the water retention and gelling properties of low-salt PMS (LSPMS) with or without microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) in experiment 2. In experiment 1, the addition of MF did not affect pH, chemical compositions (fat and moisture contents), color values, and functional properties (expressible moisture, EM (%) and cooking yield, CY (%)) of PMS. However, the addition of MF increased the chewiness of PMS and hardness if the mungbean flour at the level of more than 1.2% was incorporated. Since the interaction between the microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) treatment and MF level was not significant (p>0.05), data were pooled by different factors (MTGase treatment and MF level) in experiment 2. MF improved the water binding ability and textural springiness of LSPMS. On the other hand, MTGase treatment decreased the pH and cooking yield (%) of LSPMS, but increased most textural properties. In conclusion, the addition of MF could enhance the water retention and textural properties of PMS and LSPMS, regardless of MTGase, when it was added to over 1.2%. Based on these results, mungbean protein may interact with MTGase on the low-salt comminuted meat systems. Therefore, further study might be needed to understand the mechanisms of interaction between MTGase and functional components induced from MF.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are added to different food products for a long time due to health beneficial effects on human host. LAB is applied in dairy products, such as yoghurt, cheese, and various fermented products, and also in non-dairy products, such as sausages. However, reaching the human gut alive as well as in a sufficient cell amount to exert positive health effects is still a big challenge, due to LAB sensitive character and vulnerability against harsh and detrimental conditions in human digestive system. Keeping physiological activity of sensitive LAB strains alive is for the formulation of novel food products with a probiotic health claim of utmost interest, thus microencapsulation has been applied and investigated as a promising technique for a good and reliable protection. Microencapsulation allows reduced cell injury or cell loss by retaining cells within the encapsulating membrane and can be enforced by spray-drying, emulsion, extrusion, and a range of other technologies in combination with an appropriate coating material, such as alginate, chitosan, and mixture of these two polymers. In this review, established and well-studied microencapsulation techniques with their favored coating materials, as well as the recent applications of microencapsulated LAB into dairy products will be discussed.

Salmonella Enteritidis is responsible for causing foodborne diseases upon consumption of egg products. While cases of S. Enteritidis isolation from eggs have been reported in other countries, no such cases have previously been reported in Korea. In this study, we report the first isolation and identification of S. Enteritidis from domestically distributed eggs in Korea. Eggs were collected from eight countrywide grocery stores during different seasons between 2011 and 2012. Egg contents and washing solution of egg shells were incubated in buffered peptone water, and the enriched broth was further enriched in tetrathionate broth and Rappaport-Vassiliadis. The secondary enriched broth was streaked on xylose lysine desoxycholate agar. The suspected colonies were confirmed to S. Enteritidis by a biochemical test, serotyping, and PCR test. Genetic relatedness among the isolates was analyzed using Diversilab Salmonella kit. Three strains of S. Enteritidis were isolated from egg contents and egg shells collected from grocery stores of the Eumseong-city in the fall of 2011. All three stains showed resistance to chloramphenicol, streptomycin, nalidixic acid, and ampicillin by the disk diffusion method. In addition, the isolates showed more than 99% DNA homology, indicating that they were presumably identical strains. Therefore, there is a requirement to monitor and control against S. Enteritidis from eggs in Korea.

본 연구는 염지촉진 방법인 인젝션 및 텀블링 처리에 따른 한우 우둔 염지육의 품질에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 처리구는 인젝션과 텀블링 단일 처리구 및 복합처리구로 텀블링 처리구의 경우 진공과 비진공으로 나누었으며 대조구는 6시간 침지하였다. pH는 5.26-5.51의 범위로 인젝션 후 텀블링 처리구가 5.51로 가장 높았고 텀블링 단일 처리구에서 5.26으로 가장 낮았으며 인젝션 및 텀블링 복합처리구에서 높은 경향을 나타내어(p<0.05) 보수력 증진에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다. 염도와 당도 측정결과 pH가 높게 측정된 인젝션 및 텀블링 복합처리구에서 높은 경향을 나타내어 염지 촉진효과가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 가열감량은 대조구에서 22.08%로 가장 많았으나 인젝션 후 텀블링 진공 처리구와 비진공 처리구 및 텀블링 진공처리구간의 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으며 인젝션 처리구는 13.98%로 유의적으로 가장 적게 나타났다. 조직감 측정 결과 hardness는 8.01-13.99 kg의 범위로 인젝션 후 진공텀블링 처리구가 가장 낮았으며 대조구에서 가장 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 그러나 인젝션 후 진공 및 비진공 텀블링 처리구가 텀블링 진공 및 비진공 처리구보다 낮았지만 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 또한 인젝션 처리구의 경우 단일 텀블링 진공 및 비진공 처리구와 비교할 때 텀블링과 인젝션 처리는 연도향상에 유사한 영향을 주는 것으로 보이며 단일 텀블링 진공과 비진공 처리구 및 인젝션 후 진공 및 비진공 텀블링 복합 처리구의 결과로 볼 때 진공과 비진공의 차이 또한 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 색도는 염지 및 가공방법에 따른 가열 전후의 뚜렷한 경향을 보이지 않았다. 관능평가 결과 모든 항목에서 인젝션 및 텀블링 공정으로 제조한 처리구가 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 높게 평가되었으며 연도정도, 조직감의 기호도 및 맛의 영향으로 종합적인 기호도에서 인젝션 후 비진공 텀블링 복합 처리구가 가장 높은 기호도를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구결과 인젝션 및 텀블링 공정은 육의 가공에 있어 가열수율, 연도 및 관능적 기호도 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 사료되었다.

수리미에 대한 노계 분쇄 가슴육으로의 대체가 저장 중 크래미의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 소시지 제조에 이용되는 커터를 활용하여 노계 가슴육을 분쇄하였으며, 이후 수리미를 노계 분쇄육으로 5(05CM)와 10%(10CM) 대체하며 크래미를 제조하였다. 크래미의 제조 후 모든 크래미는 $10{\pm}1^{\circ}C$에서 3주간 저장하며 실험하였다. 크래미의 수분함량은 두 처리구 모두에서 저장기간이 지남에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였으나, 대조구보다는 높은 수분함량을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 더욱이, 지방의 산화를 나타내는 TBARS는 분쇄육으로 수리미를 5%까지 대체한 05CM보다는 10%까지 대체한 10CM에서 더욱 감소하였다. 크래미 시료의 육색을 나타내는 CIE $b^*$와 $a^*$는 수리미를 5와 10%까지 분쇄육으로 대체한다면 황색도는 증가하나 적색도는 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). 크래미의 전 단가와 겔 특성 중 파괴강도와 젤리강도는 저장기간 보다는 분쇄육으로의 대체에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였으나 이러한 결과가 훈련된 관능검사 요원의 관능적 평가에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 본 실험을 통하여 크래미 제조를 위한 수리미를 노계 분쇄 가슴육으로 10%까지 대체한다 하여도 수치적으로는 조직적인 특성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다 할 수 있겠으나 그 영향은 관능적 평가에 의해 유의적인 차이를 나타낼만한 것은 아니었다. 따라서 크래미 제조를 위한 수리미 10%의 노계 분쇄 가슴육 대체는 경제적인 측면에서도 고려 가능한 대체방법인 것으로 판단된다.

각 돈피추출물의 수율과 단백질함량은 고분자 PS 처리구에서 높은 함량을 나타내었으며, 특히 단백질 함량은 저분자 LPS 처리구에 비해 유의적으로 높았고, 약 10배 정도의 높은 단백질 함량을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 항산화활성 측정결과 처리 농도가 증가할수록 높은 항산화 활성을 나타내었으며(p<0.05), 특히 고분자 PS 처리구에 비해 저분자 LPS 처리구에서 유의적으로 높은 효과를 나타내었다. ORAC 활성은 LPS 농도 1 mg/mL일 때, $141.39{\mu}M$ TE/g의 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 각 돈피추출물을 신경모세포종 SH-SY5Y 세포에 고농도로 처리한 결과 세포에 독성을 나타내지 않았다. 신경세포에 과산화수소를 처리하여 유발시킨 산화적 스트레스에 대한 PS와 LPS의 신경세포 보호효과를 확인한 결과, 모든 처리구에서 농도 의존적으로 세포 보호효과를 나타내었다. 특히 저분자인 LPS 처리구 농도 $100{\mu}g/mL$일 때, 86.45%의 세포생존율을 보였으며 $H_2O_2$ 대비 29.98%의 신경세포보호효과를 나타내었다. 독성 단백질인 $A{\beta}_{1-42}$를 처리하여 신경세포 보호효과를 확인한 결과, 고분자 PS 처리구보다는 저분자인 LPS 처리구 농도 $100{\mu}g/mL$일 때, 82.01%의 생존율을 보였으며 $A{\beta}_{1-42}$ 대비 14.38%의 신경세포보호효과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). AChE 저해효과를 확인해 본 결과, 고분자 PS 처리구에서는 거의 효과가 나타나지 않았으나, 저분자인 LPS 처리구에서는 농도 의존적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 농도 100 mg/mL일 때 33.62%의 높은 저해 효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구결과 돈피에서 분리한 3 kDa 이하의 저분자 효소분해물인 LPS는 높은 항산화 활성을 나타내었고, $H_2O_2$와 $A{\beta}_{1-42}$로 유발시킨 산화스트레스에 대한 신경세포 보호효과 및 AChE 저해 효과를 나타내어 향후 항산화 활성 및 신경세포보호를 위한 축산식품 소재로 이용 가능성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 버찌를 메탄올과 물로 추출한 후 항산화 활성을 측정하여, 버찌의 메탄올과 물 추출물을 돈육패티에 첨가하여 육제품의 천연항산화제의 가능성을 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 버찌의 메탄올 추출물과 물 추출물의 총 페놀성 화합물 함량은 버찌 메탄올 추출물이2.17 g/100 g, 물 추출물이 2.77 g/100 g값을 나타내었다. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging activity에서 버찌 메탄올 추출물이 대조구인 ascorbic acid와 농도별로 차이를 보이지 않았고, 2% 농도에서 대조구와 처리구간에 유사한 DPPH radical scavenging activity를 보였다. 환원력은 L-ascorbic acid에 비하여 낮은 수치를 보였으며 추출용매에 따른 환원력의 차이는 미미하였다. 철이온 흡착력은 버찌 메탄올 추출물이 19.8-94.0%, 버찌 물 추출물은 17.8-93.5%를 나타내었다. 버찌 메탄올 추출물은 0.5%의 농도까지 증가하다가 최종 농도인 2%까지 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았고, 물 추출물은 농도가 증가할수록 철이온 흡착력이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 특히 낮은 농도에서는 차이를 보였지만 농도가 증가할수록 대조구와 유사한 수치를 보였다. 버찌의 메탄올 추출물을 각각 0.5%, 1.0% 첨가한 돈육 패티에서 pH와 색도(명도, 적색도, 황색도)가 감소하였고, 지방산패도를 측정하기 위해 수행한 thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) 결과에서 malondialdehyde(MDA) 함량이 대조구와 butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT)를 첨가한 참조구에 비해 낮은 결과를 나타내었으나, 저장 중 총균수나 대장균군수에는 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 종합하면 버찌 추출물이 항산화 효과를 보여 천연 항산화제로써의 기능성 육제품 개발에 이용 가능할 것으로 평가된다. 하지만 버찌 추출물을 첨가하면 색도를 저하시키므로 이에 대한 보완 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 가르시니아 캄보지아 추출물이 함유된 육류용 딥소스의 항비만 효과를 동물실험을 통하여 검증하기 위하여 고지방 식이로 유도한 비만 쥐의 체중 및 지방조직의 변화, 혈중 지질성분의 변화를 5주령 흰쥐 18마리를 정상식이에 식염수 투여군(NCD), 고지방 식이에 가르시니아 캄보지아 추출물-비함유 육류용 딥소스 투여군(HFD), 고지방 식이에 2% 가르시니아 캄보지아 추출물-함유 육류용 딥소스 투여군(HFD+GC)으로 나누어 90일 간 실시하였다. HFD군의 흰쥐에서의 체중 중가가 가장 두드러지게 나타났고, 이러한 체증증가는 HFD+GC군의 흰쥐에서 유의 있게 감소되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 개복 후 부고환 및 신장주변 지방 조직을 적출하여 무게를 확인한 결과에서도 HFD+GC군의 흰쥐에서 지방의 무게가 유의하게 감소된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 혈청 중의 지질성분인 total cholesterol, triglycerol, total lipid의 함량이 다른 식이 군에 비해 유의하게 감소한 결과도 HFD+GC군에서 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과들은 가르시니아 캄보지아 추출물이 비만 유도 실험 모델 쥐에서 비만과 관련된 각종 지표들을 억제함으로써 항비만 효과를 나타내고 있음을 확인할 수 있었고, 이러한 효과는 가르시니아 캄보지아 추출물이 함유된 육류용 딥소스를 비만을 유발할 수 있는 음식과 동시에 섭취하여도 효과가 있음이 시사되었다.

Salmonella Gallinarum (SG) is known as an important pathogen that causes fowl typhoid in chickens. To investigate SG outer-membrane proteins (OMPs) as a vaccine candidate, we used proteomic mapping and database analysis techniques with extracted OMPs. Also, extracted OMPs were evaluated in several aspects to their safety, immune response in their host and protective effects. Our research has established a proteomic map and database of immunogenic SG-OMPs used as inactive vaccine against salmonellosis in chickens. A total of 22 spots were detected by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunogenic protein analysis. Eight spots were identified by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight-Mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) and categorized into four different types of proteins. Among these proteins, OmpA is considered to be an immunogenic protein and involved in the hosts' immune system. To estimate the minimum safety dose in chickens, 35 brown layers were immunized with various concentrations of OMPs, respectively. Consequently, all chickens immunized with more than a $50{\mu}g$ dose were protected against challenges. Moreover, intramuscular administration of OMPs to chickens was more effective compared to subcutaneous administration. These results suggest that the adjuvanted SG-OMP vaccine not only induces both the humoral and cellular immune response in the host but also highly protects the hosts' exposed to virulent SG with $50{\mu}g$ OMPs extracted by our method.

육질등급별 한우의 수분함량은 육질등급이 2등급에서 $1^{{+}{+}}$로 높아질수록 감소하였으며, 조지방 함량은 증가하였다(p<0.05). 보수력은 육질등급이 높을수록 증가하였으나 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 마이오글로빈 함량의 경우 육질등급이 높을수록 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). 가열감량과 드립감량은 육질등급이 낮아질수록 증가하였으며, 전단력은 육질등급이 높아질수록 유의적으로 감소하였다 (p<0.05). 신선육에 대한 외관 평가 결과 표면의 수분은 육질등급별 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 마블링은 육질등급이 높은 경우 높게 나타났다. 이취에 있어서는 2등급 시료에서 유의적으로 높게 측정되었다(p<0.05). 이에 따라 신선육에 대한 전체적인 기호도는 $1^{{+}{+}}$등급과 $1^+$등급이 1등급이나 2등급에 비해 유의적으로 높은 값을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 조리육에 대한 관능적 특성 결과 중 향미는 육질등급이 2등급에서 $1^{{+}{+}}$등급으로 높아질수록 유의적으로 좋게 나타났으며(p<0.05), 맛과 다즙성은 $1^+^+$등급이 유의적으로 가장 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 이에 따라 조리육에 대한 전체적인 기호도는 육질등급이 2등급에서 $1^{{+}{+}}$등급으로 높아질수록 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 이상의 연구결과에서 볼 때, 한우의 품질을 결정하는데 있어서 수분함량, 조지방, myoglobin 함량 및 전단력이 중요한 물리화학적 인자라고 판단되며, 신선육에 있어서 marbling score는 조리시 맛, 다즙성 및 전체적인 기호도에 있어서 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.
