The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the addition of red wine of pork patties during frozen storage on their water holding capacity, thawing loss, cooking loss, diameter change, thickness change, surface color, pH, VBN (volatile basic nitrogen) and TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances). Four types of pork patty were prepared; pork patty without red wine (control), and with the addition of 1%, 3% and 5% red wine (RWP-1, 3 -and t respectively). The pork patties were stored for 5 months at $-20^{\circ}C$. The water holding capacity was significantly decreased during frozen storage, which was not influenced by the addition of red wine (p<0.05). The thawing loss and cooking loss were significantly increased during frozen storage, which also was not influenced by the addition of red wine (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the diameter and thickness changes during frozen storage, which was not influenced by the addition of red wine (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the $L^*\;and\;b^*$ values, but the a value was significantly decreased during frozen storage. The $L^*,\;a^*\;and\;b^*$ values of the pork patties containing red wine were lower than those of the control patties (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the pH and VBN content during the frozen storage period or on the addition of red wine to the patties. The TBARS value of the pork patties tended to increased with increasing in frozen storage period, but were decreased with increasing amount of red wine addition (p<0.05).
