To elucidate changes in qualifies of pork and beef during storage and identify decay point, beef (loin, tenderloin, plate) and pork (belly, loin, thigh) were stored at $4^{\circ}C$, and their pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), thiobarbituric acid reacted substance (TBARS), electronic nose analysis, and sensory evaluation were performed. Belly of pork had higher values in pH, VBN and TBARS, compared to loin and thigh of pork. Electronic nose analysis clearly indicated a difference in principal component score between day 0 and day 12 of storage. Sensory evaluation showed that pork began to away at day 4 of storage and not edible after 6 days. Loin and tenderloin of beef had higher values in pH and VBN, compared to plate of beef. Regarding TBARS, all beef samples had the similar values at the beginning of storage, but loin of beef had a drastic increase after 8 days of storage, differently from tenderloin and plate of beef. Plate of beef had lower values in overall. Electronic nose analysis of beef showed the similar results with those of pork.

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of dietary supplementation of yeast culture on the nutrient digestibility, performance and meat quality in growing-finishing pigs. Corn-soy basal diets contained 20, 18, and 16% CP and 3,265kcal/kg ME at different growth stages. One hundred and twenty pigs(8wk-old) were allocated into four supplementation levels of yest culture (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4%) in Expt 1. Weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency were periodically recorded for 112 days. A metabolic feeding trial was conducted to measure the nutrient digestibility. Physical and chemical characteristics of the Longissimus Dorsi muscle(LM) from the pigs were measured at the end of experiment (Expt 2). In Expt 1, weight gain and feed efficiency were not different among the dietary treatment groups during the overall period. The digestibilities of protein and fiber were greater in 0.1% and 0.2% yeast culture-supplemented groups than in control (P<0.05). However, fat and ash digestibilities were not improved by the dietary treatment. In Expt 2, the LM protein content in 0.1% yeast culture-supplemented group, but not in 0.2% or 0.4%-supplemented group, was greater than that in the control group (P<0.05). The LM pH, purge loss, cooking loss and color were not affected by the dietary treatment. The LM shearing force was less in 0.2% yeast culture-supplemented group than in the control group (P<0.05). Other LM physicochemical properties did not differ between the dietary treatment groups. Total saturated and unsaturated fatty acids percentages and total cholesterol content of the LM did not differ across the dietary treatment groups.

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between measurements of color and water-holding capacity (WHC) in pork loin. A total of 419 pork loins were sampled from crossbred (Landrace$\times$Jeju native black pig) F2 pigs at a commercial slaughter house. Meat color measurements (CIE $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$), chroma ($C^*$) and hue angle (h) were measured with the Minolta Chromameter and WHC was measured by filter paper fluid, drip loss and cooking loss. Also pH, moisture content and crude fat content were measured at 24 hr postmortem. CIE $L^*$, $b^*$ and h values had positive correlation with drip loss (r=0.52, 0.42), but CIE $a^*$ and $C^*$ values were not related to drip loss. Results showed that CIE $L^*$, $b^*$, and h color system was better than CIE $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ color system to predict WHC, especially drip loss. pH was negatively correlated to drip loss (-0.42) and CIE $L^*$ (-0.67). Although CIE $L^*$ and pH were correlated to drip loss, the accuracy of their estimates for drip loss was 27% and 17%, respectively. Consequently, it was confirmed that meat color and WHC were not perfectly related and suggested that CIE $L^*$, $b^*$, and h color space should not be used independently to predict WHC of pork loin.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the addition of safflower seed (Carthamus tinctorius L.) on the physicochemical properties of ground pork as an animal fat replacer. Three types of ground pork were evaluated: 20% pork fat added (control), 10% pork fat and 10% safflower seed powder added (10% SS), and 20% safflower seed powder added (20% SS). The moisture, protein, and ash contents were highest in 20% SS, and the fat content was highest in the control (p<0.05). The cooking yield, moisture retention, fat retention, and water-holding capacity were highest in 20% SS, and the control showed a reduction in the diameter (p<0.05). The external and internal L-, a-, and b-values of the control were higher than those of the 10% SS and the 20% SS (p<0.05). The cholesterol content of the control, the 10% SS, and the 20% SS was 50.85, 21.77, and 17.91 mg/100 g, respectively, and that of the 20% SS was lowest among the samples (p<0.05). The linoleic acid content of the control, the 10% SS, and the 20% SS was 28.68%, 41.04%, and 54.26%, respectively. The total unsaturated fatty acid content of the control, the 10% SS, and the 20% SS was 50.53%, 55.76%, and 64.93%, respectively. The linoleic acid and the total unsaturated fatty acid content were highest in the 20% SS (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in amino acid composition.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of previous heating temperature and holding times on the thermal behavior of pork loin muscle by DSC. Pork loin muscles were heated to achieve the following end-point temperatures: 40$^{\circ}C$, 50$^{\circ}C$, 60$^{\circ}C$, 70$^{\circ}C$, 80$^{\circ}C$ at heating rate = 10$^{\circ}C$/min. The first peak was disappeared when samples were initially heated to 50$^{\circ}C$ for 1 minute. As end-point temperature was raised, major peaks were progressively disappeared and peaks were lost completely at 80$^{\circ}C$. Especially, peaks were completely disappeared at 70$^{\circ}C$ for 10 minute. Increasing of exposure time to elevated temperature also increased denaturation, thereby reducing the area of the thermogram.

A total of 80 pigs were used to investigate the effect of dietary glycine betaine(N,N,N-trimethylglycine) on pork quality during cold storage. About 70 kg pigs were randomly a1loted into one of four experimental diet groups(0%, 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% glycine betaine). Pigs were slaughtered at approximately 110 kg live weight, and pH, color(CIE $L^* a^* b^*$), shear force, sarcomere length, lipid oxidation and composition of fatty acid were measured in pork loin for 13 days of cold storage. The concentration of glycine betaine in pork loin was significantly increased(P<0.05) with increasing of glycine betaine level in diet. Pork loins from dietary betaine groups showed significantly higher muscle pH and lower CIE $b^*$ values compared to control group after 13 days of storage. There were significant differences in shear force values among pork loins from diet groups at 24 hrs postmortem. However, pork loins from control diet showed longer sarcomere length than those of dietary betaine groups. Dietary glycine betaine increased the ratio of saturated fatty acids and decreased unsaturated fatty acids in pork loins. Especially the ratios of linoleic and myristic acid were decreased with increasing dietary betaine level. However, dietary glycine betaine did not affect lipid oxidation (TSARS) and sensory evaluation during cold storage.

The present study was undertaken to examine if the carcass and pork quality of finishing pigs reared on a low plane of nutrition (LPN) could be improved compared with that of the pigs finished on a high plane of nutrition (HPN). Sixty-eight crossbred (LYD) barrows and 68 LYD gilts weighing approximately 50 kg were fed a diet containing 3.54 Mcal DE/kg with 1.00% lysine (HPN) or 3.02 Mcal DE/kg with 0.68% lysine (LPN) in eight pens up to approximately 120 kg and slaughtered. The belly, loin, ham, and Boston butt were cut out from a total of 20 carcasses, after which physicochemical and sensory quality attributes of the belly and the representative muscle of each of the loin, ham, and Boston butt were evaluated. The ADG, gain:feed ratio, and backfat thickness were less for LPN than for HPN (p<0.05). The cooking loss, hardness, and chewiness values for the Boston butt were less for LPN vs. HPN. In sensory evaluation for fresh meat (muscle), the subjective quality scores were greater for LPN vs. HPN in color, marbling, and acceptability for the loin, the muscle:fat balance score for the belly tending to be greater for LPN (p<0.10). In addition, LPN was superior to HPN in the flavor and juiciness in sensory evaluation for cooked ham. In conclusion, the present results suggest that the carcass and pork quality of finishing pigs could be improved with reduced growth performance by using LPN.

Domestic pear has been reported that it contained a pretense, which used for tenderizer of meat, however no researches for optimum level of the enzyme with maximum tenderness effect have been studied. Thus, this study was peformed to determine the optimum level of a protease for meat tenderness. Moisture contents (％) of domestic pears was determined. A pretense was homogenized in a mixer and centrifuged at 10,000 G for 1hr. After taken the supernatant, dialysis was conducted to remove salts and sugars, and freeze-dried. Then, various level (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2％) of the purified pretense were added to pork loins (3cm thickness). Then, pork samples were boiled at 80 for 12 min in a water bath to reach the interval temperature of 71 and chilled in an ice. Moisture contents (％) of domestic pears ranged from 87.2 and 87.8％. No differences in cooking loss of pork meats were observed (p>0.05) among various levels of a pretense. After centrifugation, the protein concentrations of a protease showed from 5.96 $\mu\textrm{g}$/fmL to 7.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL. Increased level of a pretense up to 0.1％ reduced (p<0.05) the shear value (kg/g), however no further reduction of shear value was observed at the level of higher than 0.1％ of the purified pretense. The approximate molecular weight of the pretense analysed by sodium-dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was 30 kDa. These results suggest that the optimum level of a pretense for the maximum effect of meat tenderness is above 0.1％. Further research will be peformed to determine the effect of various domestic pears and ingredients, such as salt and phosphate, on meat tenderness.

The effect of chitosan on antimicrobial effect, shelf-life, antioxidation, color, moisture content and pH of pork loins stored at 1$0^{\circ}C$ was investigated. All concentration of 5 kDa chitosan had very weak antimicrobial effect in all concentration against spoilage bacteria in meat. 30 kDa and 120 kDa chitosan had very strong those effects above 0.1%. The pork dipped in 1% of 30 kDa and 120 kDa chitosans extended a shelf-life. In antioxidation, the dipped pork has shown remarkable effects in all concentrations of 30 kDa and 120 kDa chitosans. Also, the external redness of them was maintained stably. Their moisture contents were decreased slightly with the higher molecular weight and concentration during storage. The results suggested that properties of porks were improved with dipping in 1.0% of 30 kDa and 120 kDa chitosan.
