This study was conducted to compare carcass yield and meat quality among four lines of Korean native chickens (Yeonsan Ogye, Hyunin Black, Hoengseong Yakdak and Hwangbong) and White Leghorn as control. Chickens (N=23, male) were grown under same conditions and slaughtered at 56 weeks old to observe the physicochemical differences in breast and leg meats. The live and carcass weights of Hwangbong were significantly higher than other chickens (p<0.05). Four lines of Korean native chickens, regardless of the part, had higher shear force value than White Leghorn (p<0.05). In addition, the breast meat of Korean native chickens had higher cooking loss and lower water holding capacity than that of White Leghorn. The cooked meat of Hwangbong particularly were more chewy, gummy and cohesive with lower tenderness than other chickens (p<0.05). Oleic acid content which is related to meat flavor was significantly higher in the breast meat of Hoengseong Yakdak (39.6%). The meat of Korean native chickens had lower n6/n3 ratio, in which the breast and leg meat of Hoengseong Yakdak contained the lowest ratio (p<0.05). The meat of Hwangbong and Hoengseong Yakdak were more acceptable than the others according to sensory test (p<0.05).

Current study was conducted to investigate the effect of organic selenium supplementation originated from mushroom culture medium on meat quality of Hanwoo sleets. The result showed that organic selenium supplementation of 0.9 ppm (DM based ratio) for 2 (T1), 4 (T2) and 6 (T3) months had no effect on moisture content in longissimus muscle, with 63 to $66\%$ compared to non-supplemented control group Similarly, intramuscular fat content ranged from 11.7 to $16.4\%$ did not differ between the treatment groups (p>0.05). T3 group showed the highest protein content with $20.8\%$ while T2 group had the lowest content with $19.2\%$ The data indicated that organic selenium supplementation to the experimental concentration had indictable effect on proximate composition The treatments similarly had no influence on physical and biological characteristics of longissimus muscle, where cooking loss and shear force ranged from 20 to $21\%$ and from 3.6 to 4.4kg, respectively. On the other hand, muscle pH at 24 h postmortem showed 5.52, 5.57, 5.50, 5.50 for control, T1, T2 and T3, respectively, indicating that the longer feeding period resulted in the lower ultimate un A similar trend was observed from water-holding capacity (63.8, 64.4 and $64.2\%$ for T1, T2 and T3, respectively) which was significantly higher than con01 group of $59.5\%$ For sensory evaluation, juiciness did not differ between the treatment groups, but n and n (5.30 and 5.28, respectively) showed significantly tender mat Particularly, T2 group received significantly higher flavor score among the treatment groups including controls. The data indicated that organic selenium supplementation to the experimental concentration had no effect on beef quality, but the treatment effect on anti-oxidation function is remained for further studies.

This study was undertaken to investigate whether the local Woori black pigs could replace Duroc as the terminal sire in order to reduce foreign currency outgoings. This study compared the physicochemical properties of pork loins in two cultivars of three-way crossbred pigs: Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire ${\times}$ Duroc (LYD) and Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire ${\times}$ Woori black pig (LYW). A total of 119 pigs (59 LYD and 60 LYW) aged 180 days were used in the experiment. After 24 hours of cooling, pork loins were assessed for their physicochemical traits, meat color, fatty acid and sensory evaluation. The moisture content and water holding capacity showed no significant difference between the two cultivars. Fat content and cooking loss were significantly higher in LYW than in LYD (p<0.05), whereas shear force and pH were significantly lower in LYW than LYD (p<0.05). Redness ($a^*$), yellowness ($b^*$), and stearic acid (C18: 0) content were also significantly higher in LYW than in LYD (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation revealed significantly higher meat color and flavor in LYW than LYD (p<0.05). Taken together, these results indicate that certain physicochemical qualities are improved in the LYW cultivar, as compared to LYD. Therefore, Woori black pig (W) has the potential to be substituted for Duroc, a breeding pig used currently.

A total of ninety swine ($79.0{\pm}2.2\;kg$) were employed for 58 d to determine the meat quality of pigs fed fermented agricultural by-products (FAB) mainly consisting of brewers grain shell. FAB was replaced with commercial feed at dietary levels of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% (T1) and 30%, 60%, 100%, 100%, and 100% (T2) at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5-9 wk, respectively. Compared with the control (CON) feed, FAD feed had lower moisture and nitrogen-free extract content, and higher crude fat, crude fiber, and total calorie (p<0.05). The protein content, amino acid profile, and pH values of pork loin were not affected by dietary treatment. However, higher moisture, crude ash, and meat cholesterol, and lower fat, were found in CON compared with treatment (p<0.05). FAB treatment significantly improved drip loss and cooking loss value (p<0.05), and increased the CIE $L^*$ values of loin and back-fat surface, whereas it decreased the CIE $a^*$ values of loin surface (pp<0.05). The results indicate that dietary FAB affected meat cholesterol and fat content, and improved drip loss and cooking loss, but had no affect on amino acid composition.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) and charcoal supplementation on meat quality traits in finishing pigs. A total of 420 pigs (LYD) were randomly allocated into seven treatments with three replications. The dietary treatments were T1 (control, basal diet), T2 (basal diet+0.3% stevia), T3 (basal diet+0.6% stevia), T4 (basal diet+0.3% charcoal), T5 (basal diet+0.6% charcoal), T6 (basal diet+0.3% stevia+0.3% charcoal), and T7 (basal diet+0.6% stevia+0.6% charcoal). Pigs were slaughtered conventionally on each marketing day and chilled overnigth. At 24 h postmortem, the Longissimus muscle from left side between the 6th and 14th rib was removed for the meat quality traits. The T6 group showed a higher pH, water holding capacity (p<0.05), and lower drip loss (p<0.05) than those in the T1 group. The T6 group showed lower (p<0.05) $L^*$ (lightness) and $b^*$ (yellowness) values and higher $a^*$ (redness) color value than those in the T1 group, resulting in a redder surface meat color. In the subjective evaluation, marbling and color scores improved in the T6 group compared to those in the other treatments. In the panel test, the T6 group tended to have higher tenderness and juiciness scores than those in the T1 group. In the storage characteristics, all treatments showed similar 2-thiobarbituric acid and volatile basic nitrogen values as well as total microbial counts during 7 d of cold storage. As a result, dietary supplementation with 0.3% stevia and 0.3% charcoal showed the highest meat quality traits and storage characteristics in finishing pigs.

To investigate the effect of dietary mugwort pellet on the growing performance and meat quality barrow (T1) and boar (T2) were alloted into six treatments : 1) commercial feed, 2) T1-1 and T2-1 (commercial feed supplemented with 3.0％ mugwort pellet), 3) T1-2 and T2-2 (commercial feed supplemented with 5.0％ mugwort pellet). They were fed experimental diets for 60 days before slaughtered. Meat samples were taken in wrap package and stored at 4$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$. Daily gain in both groups (T1 and T2) were higher than those of the control (p<0.05). Feed conversion tended to be lower in barrow group than boar group and tended to be decreased according to supplementation of mugwort pelleted diet in barrow group. In both barrow and boar groups, proximate compositions of pork were not sigificantly different, except for crude fat. Crude fat content was tended to be low in barrow when fed mugwort pelleted diet. Shear force value and sensory properties were siginificantly higher in barrow group than in boar group (p<0.05) and these results were also seemed due to great fed mugwort pelleted aiet(p<0.05). In the barrow group, values of tenderness and flavor were the highest in pigs fed diet supplemented with 3.0％ mugwort. The catechin content of pork tended to be higher in boar group than in barrow group and catechin tended to increase with supplementation of mugwort in the diet.

Sensory and physical qualities and palatable compounds of cultured flounder muscle were compared with the wild ones. No differences were seen in the contents of the moisture, lipid, protein between cultured and wild dorsal muscles, however, sensory panels preferred the wild fish to cultured ones because of the texture and taste of wild fish, and they could differentiate the degree of difference in the texture and taste property distinctly. Raw meat of the wild fish was harder and more elastic than the cultured ones, however, the cultured meat was harder and drier than the wild ones once they were cooked. The results of physical properties were similar to the results of sensory evaluation. Alanine was the most abundant compound among the free amino acids which make meat palatable and followed by glutamic acid, proline, methionine, and glycine. There was no difference in total content of free amino acids between two fish muscles. ATP was the most abundant among all nucleotides and their related compounds in both fish muscles followed by IMP, ADP, AMP, however, the total content of those was greater in wild fish muscle (9.4 ${\mu}$mole/g) than in cultured fish muscle (6.7 ${\mu}$mole/g).

This study investigated the quality characteristics of meat from goat fed fermented grape feeds including chemical composition, physical and sensory properties. The hardness of the goat meat was decreased by feeding fermented grape diets, but no significant difference in the pH was observed between control group and fermented grape diet-fed group. Major minerals in goat meat were shown to be Ca, Na, K and Mg and total amino acid content was the highest in a group fed $20\%$ fermented grape-containing diet (T2) among experimental groups. Major fatty acids in goat meat were linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid while the content of oleic acid in meat was significantly increased in the group fed fermented grape diet. By increasing the amount of fermented grape in goat diet, L (lightness), a (redness) and b (yellowness) color parameters of goat meat were increased. From the sensory test, the meat from goat fed $30\%$ fermented grape-containing diet (T3) was evaluated the best, with higher overall acceptability of meat at higher content of fermented grape in goat feeds.

In this study, we investigated the effects of pH, temperature, and salt concentration on protease activities in Hypsizygus marmoreus, and the ability of H. marmoreus extract to tenderize beef. In fact, H. marmoreus was shown to have higher protease activity than kiwi fruits. The pH of beef was dose dependently increased with addition of H. marmoreus extract. Cooking loss, cutting strength, and color value (L, a, b) were also dose dependently decreased with addition of H. marmoreus extract. In sensory assessments, H. marmoreus extract dose dependently enhanced perception of tenderness, flavor, and taste. In contrary, use of kiwi fruits as a meat tenderizer decreased positive perception of taste. The protease activitiy of H. marmoreus decreased sharply at pH < 2.0, and temperature > 50 ℃. Protease activity was relatively stable in NaCl concentrations ranging from 0-5 M, but incrementally decreased with increasing NaCl. These results suggest that, H. marmoreus extract can improve the texture and taste of beef.

A total of 30 pigs (average 60kg) were used to investigate the influence of breeds on meat quality. Pigs were alloted into one of three experimental groups [A (Landrace×Yorkshire×Duroc), B (England Berkshire), and C (Kagoshima Berkshire)]. Pigs were slaughtered at approximately 110kg of live weight for measurement of meat qualities. Crude protein was significantly higher in B than those of other pig breed groups. Shear force value was higher and pH was lower in A than those of other pig breeds. In color, C was significantly higher in a* of meat color and lower in b* of fat color and in brittleness, hardness, springiness, chewiness as compared with other pig breeds. Essential fatty acid were significantly higher in A and lower in B than those of other pig breeds. Aspartic, threonine, serine, glutamic and phenylalanine were higher in C, whereas glycine, alanine, cystine, valine, leucine, tyrosine, histidine, lysine and arginine were significantly higher in A. In sensory evaluation of fresh meat, color was significantly higher in C. However, moisture, crude fat, crude ash and drip loss, marbling score, overall acceptability of fresh meat and all items in sensory evaluation of cooked meat were not significant difference among the pig groups. In conclusions, loin from Kagoshima Berkshire had the lowest shear force and the highest a* value. In the current study few effects of pig breeds were observed. Further studies are needed on the relationship between physico-chemical properties and the pig breeds.
