In order to improve or replace the direct addition method of nitrite and ascorbic acid, the effect of nitrite and ascorbic acid-derived gas addition on color development and physical characteristics in emulsified sausage was investigated. Nitrite (150 ppm) and ascorbic acid (450 ppm) were added directly to emulsion in the control group, but in the treatment group nitrite and ascorbic acid-derived gas was used for emulsion. In the control and treatment groups, pH values were higher than raw meat, but these values did not show significant change during the storage in both groups. In the meat color, lightness (CIE $L^*$) and redness ($a^*$) values of control and treatment groups were higher compared to raw meat. The treatment group has lower redness and higher yellowness ($b^*$) values than control group during the storage (p<0.05). However, lightness was not significantly different between control and treatment groups. The cook and storage loss values were significantly different between control and treatment groups (p<0.05), but the water holding capacity and shear force values were not significantly different between groups. These results showed that treatment of nitrite and ascorbic acid-derived gas has a similar effect to direct addition of nitrite and ascorbic acid on color development and physical characteristics in emulsified sausage. Also, these results showed that nitrite and ascorbic acid-derived gas addition may be a good possible alternative of nitrite and ascorbic acid using in emulsified sausage.

This study investigated the screening and optimization of nitrite production from fermented spinach extract using different lactic acid bacteria, fermentation temperature, and time. Spinach extract was fermented using various lactic acid bacteria at 24, 30, and $36^{\circ}C$ for 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 h in the presence of different carbohydrates (glucose, sucrose, fructose, and lactose). Lactobacillus farciminis (KCTC 3618) produced the highest amount of nitrite using fermented spinach extract at $30^{\circ}C$ for 28 h compared to Staphylococcus carnosus, L. coryniformis (KCTC 3167), L. fructosus (KCTC 3544), L. reuteri (KCTC 3677), L. amylophilus (KCTC 3160), L. hilgardii (KCTC 3500), L. delbrueckii (KCTC 1058), L. fermentum (KCTC 3112), L. plantarum (KCTC 3104), and L. brevis (KCTC 3498). Comparison of the yield at different fermentation temperatures showed that the highest amount of nitrite was produced using fermented spinach extract at $30^{\circ}C$. Similarly, maximum nitrite yield was observed after 36 h fermentationin in the presence of sucrose. Therefore, maximum nitrite production was observed upon L. farciminis-mediated fermentation of spinach extractat $30^{\circ}C$ for 36 h in the presence of sucrose.

Effect of gamma irradiation on inhibition of microbial growth and reduction of residual nitrite level in cooked pork sausage were studied during 4 weeks of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Irradiation at 5 and 10 kGy significantly reduced the number of total aerobic bacteria and almost eliminated coliform bacteria. Irradiation reduced the content of residual nitrite in cooked pork sausage in a dose-dependent manner, and among packaging methods, the sausage with $CO_2$ (100%) packaging was the lowest level of residual nitrite. Results indicate that the irradiation combined with packaging is a useful technology to reduce the residual nitrite in cooked pork sausage.

Gardenia fructus has been reported to have bioactivities of lowering blood glucose, antitumor, antithrombosis, repression of neogenesis of blood vessels, antioxidant and antibiosis. However, the nitrite scavenging activity and utilization in meat products have not been studied. The substitution effect for nitrite and antibiosis of Gardenia fructus extract (GFE) were investigated by measuring the residual nitrite contents and storage properties of pork patties prepared with nitrite (50, 100, and 150 ppm) and GFE (0, 0.25, 0.5%). The CIE $L^*$ and CIE $a^*$ of pork patties decreased, while CIE $b^*$ increased as the addition of GFE increased. Patties with more GFE added tended to be lower in pH when stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 6 wk, but TBARS and VBN were not affected by the addition of GFE. Residual nitrite in patties was lowered as the storage period was lengthened and as the GFE addition was increased. During the storage at $4^{\circ}C$, Escherichia coli was not detected, and the total aerobic bacterial count was decreased as more GFE was added, showing the substitution effect of GFE for nitrite in antimicrobial activity. In conclusion, the results show that GFE has nitrite scavenging and antibiotic activities in meat products, suggesting its potential use in healthy and sustainable foods with diverse biofunctionalities.

This study was conducted to compare the microbial and physico-chemical quality characteristics in Kimchi-fermented sausages added with sodium nitrite (SN) and green tea extract (GTE). The sausages were fermented at $24^{\circ}C$/RH 89% for 17 hr and then dried at $10^{\circ}C$/RH 70~80% for 9 days. The total bacteria count, lactic acid bacteria count and pH value ranged from 8.7 Log CFU/g sausage, 8.1~8.3 Log CFU/g sausage and 4.35~4.36, respectively, at 9 d of ripening, but did not show significant differences during ripening among all sausages. The lipid oxidation (TBARS) was inhibited by both GTE and SN, but GTE had lower (p<0.05) inhibitory effect, compared with SN. The $b^*$ value of GTE-added sausage was higher than that of the control sausage, but $a^*$ and $b^*$ values of SN-added sausage remained higher than other sausages during ripening. Therefore, it had lower effect on lipid oxidation and color stabilities than SN while GTE improved the lipid oxidation stability in Kimchi-fermented sausage. However, both GTE and SN did not influence the growth of lactic acid bacteria.

From the total methanolic extract of Chrysanthemum coronarium L. var. spatiosum (Compositae), nitrite scavenging ability and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity were analyzed as antioxidative characteristics. After successive partitioning with chloroform, n-butanol, and water, the chloroform fraction showed the most significant nitrite scavenging ability with an $IC_{50}$ value of 39 ppm compared with the values of vitamin C and chlorogenic acid, 15 ppm and 36 ppm, respectively. The active fraction was subjected to silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and the compound was isolated and identified as ${\beta}-sitosterol-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ using $^{1}H-NMR$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ spectral data. The glucoside was further hydrolyzed and confirmed as a glycosylated ${\beta}-sitosterol$. The compound and its aglycone, ${\beta}-sitosterol$, showed different nitrite scavenging and SOD-like activity. The $IC_{50}$ value of nitrite scavenging ability of the compound was 335 ppm at pH 1.5, while that of its aglycone was 41 ppm. As for the SOD-like activity, the $EC_{50}$ values of the sterol and the glucoside were 1,291 ppm and >2,000 ppm, respectively, compared with those of vitamin C and chlorogenic acid, 38 ppm and 449 ppm, respectively.

The effects of sodium nitrite on weight loss, pH, color development, color and lipid oxidation for the cooking of longissimus pork muscle were studied. Higher cooking temperature and grinding of sample increased the extent of weight loss, but sodium nitrite lowered it. Cooking decreased pH and sodium nitrite lowered the level of decrease in pH. Sodium nitrite developed color and controlled discoloration with higher lightness. The content of malonaldehyde was generally accelerated by cooking, but was considerably reduced at higher cooking temperature and for longer cooking time. Sodium nitrite acted as an antioxidant but the antioxidant effect decreased with increasing cooking temperature and time. Cooking reduced the extent of each lipid on the whole. Phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine were the major phospholipids of pork, and their contents decreased during cooking. The major fatty acids in total lipids were oleic acid and palmitic acid. Those in phospholipids were linoleic acid ana palmitic acid. The high level of polyunsaturated fatty acids and essential fatty acids in phospholipids decreased during cooking. Sodium nitrite had an antioxidant effect on polyunsaturated fatty acids in both total lipids ana phospholipids.
