This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the addition of pine needle juice and mugwort juice on the color, hardness, pH, VBN content, TBARS value and total plate count of beef jerky during storage at room temperature for 60 days. Beef jerky was prepared by three types such as beef jerky containing 50 ml water (control), beef jerky containing 50 ml pine needle juice (PBJ) and beef jerky containing 50 ml mugwort juice (MBJ). The L (lightness) value of the control and PBJ was not significantly changed during storage, but the $L^*$ value of MBJ tended to increase during storage (p<0.05). The $a^*$ (redness) value had the highest at the 60 day storage, and the $a^*$ value of PBJ and MBJ were higher than that of the control (p<0.05). The $b^*$ (yellowness) had the highest at the 60 day storage (p<0.05), and the $b^*$ value was not significantly different among samples. The addition of pine needle juice and mugwort juice had no effect on the changes of color of beef jerky. The hardness tended to increase during storage period, the hardness of the control was higher than those of PBJ and MBJ until storage for 30 days (p<0.05). The pH of samples tended to decrease during storage period (p<0.05). The VBN content of samples tended to increase during storage period, and the VBN content of the control was higher than those PBJ and MBJ on the storage of 60 days (p<0.05). The TBARS value of samples tended to decrease during storage period, and the TBARS value of MBJ had the lowest during storage period (p<0.05). The total plate count tended to decrease during storage period (p<0.05), and the total plate count of control, PBJ and MBJ were 4.93, 4.11 and 4.17 log CFU/g, respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the addition of red wine on the color, water activity, hardness, pH, 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) value, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content and total plate count of beef jerky during storage at room temperature for 4 weeks. Beef jerky was prepared using three variations: beef jerky containing 50 mL water (T0), beef jerky containing a combination of 25 mL water and 25 mL red wine (T1) and beef jerky containing 50 mL red wine (T2). The lightness ($L^*$) was the lowest at the 4-week storage period, and the $L^*$ value of T1 and T2 were lower than that of T0 (p<0.05). The redness ($a^*$) tended to decrease during storage, with the $a^*$ value of T1 and T2 being higher than that of the T0 (p<0.05). The yellowness ($b^*$) during storage was not changed, and the $b^*$ value was not significantly different among the different samples tested. The water activity decreased during storage and T0, T1 and T2 was 0.57, 0.57 and 0.60 after 4 weeks of storage, respectively(p<0.05). The hardness increased during storage and the hardness of T2 stored for 4 weeks was lower than that of T0 and T1 (p<0.05). The pH was decreased with an increase in storage time (p<0.05). The TBARS value increased during storage and the TBARS value of T1 and T2 stored for 4 weeks was lower than that of T0 (p<0.05). The VBN content increased during storage and T2 stored for 4 weeks showed the lowest (p<0.05). The total plate count tended to increase during storage, and T0 stored for 4 weeks showed the highest (p<0.05).

The migration potential of volatile organic solvents widely employed in the printing process of food packaging was investigated by using a closed experimental system, which contained a food sample and a paper sheet spiked with the contaminant solvents. The studied organic compounds included toluene and p,m,o-xylene which are relatively highly volatile. Typical food samples of caramel, beef jerky and butter were selected based on their chemical composition and were assigned to the migration system at 10, 25 and 4$0^{\circ}C$. The equilibrated migration level was very high with almost complete transfer in the butter with high fat, while caramel of high carbohydrate content and beef jerky of high protein showed migration degree of 37∼56% and 37∼77%, respectively. Temperature did significantly influence the migration on beef jerky with higher level at higher temperature. There was no difference in the migration level among the solvents.

The aim of this study was to investigate the quality properties of beef jerky replaced salt (NaCl) with red pepper paste, soy sauce and soybean paste. The quality properties of beef jerky including water activity ($a_w$), pH, moisture content, protein content, color, shear force, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluations were investigated. The sliced beef samples were marinated at salt (control), soybean paste (T1), soy sauce (T2) and red pepper paste (T3) for 24 h and then dried at $70^{\circ}C$ for 8 h. The $a_w$ and moisture content varied from 0.88 to 0.79 and from 28.87% to 22.98%, respectively. All treatment samples showed higher final $a_w$ and moisture content than the control sample after drying for the 8 h (p<0.05). The protein content of T2 and T3 samples were lower than the control. Also, shear force and hardness value of all treatment samples had lower than the control (p<0.05). However, all treatment samples showed lower saltiness intensity than the control sample. Sensory panelists recorded greater flavor and texture scores to the samples with soy sauce replacement. Therefore, sensory panels found that the T2 samples had better overall acceptability scores than the other beef jerky samples (p<0.05).
