Despite several issues in relation to human health, beef is still a most popular meat product among large section of society due to the presence of high quality protein and other nutrients. The current paper reviews numerous studies that provide nutritional profiles and health implications of high marbled beef consumption. In relation to lipid content of beef, intramuscular fat contains high level of PUFA and MUFA compared to other beef fat. Level and composition of intramuscular fat varies depending on breed and feeding regime. Literature suggests that the marbling is more complex than the development of subcutaneous fat and marbling not only provides good fatty acids but also contributes to the higher eating quality of beef. Finally, the current work emphasize that meat plays a pivotal role in nutritious diets, high quality marbled beef is not only of excellent eating quality but also contain more beneficial fatty acids.

The simple method of evaluating highly marbled beef was examined by image analysis. The images of the cross section at the 6 to 7th rib were obtained from 82 carcasses of Wagyu cattle. By using an overall trace method, the surrounding edges of the longissimus thoracis and three muscles were traced automatically and manually with image analysis. In a spot method, 3 to 5 locations (2.5 or 3.0 cm in diameter) for each muscle were rapidly selected with no manual trace. The images were flattened, binarized, and the ratio of fat area to muscle area was determined. The correlation coefficients for marbling between different muscles, and between the overall trace and the spot methods were 0.55 to 0.81 between different muscles and 0.89 to 0.97, respectively. These results suggested that the simple spot method is speedy and almost as useful as the overall trace method as a measuring technique for beef marbling in loin muscles, especially for highly marbled beef.

This research examines deep learning based image recognition models for beef sirloin classification. The sirloin of beef can be classified as the upper sirloin, the lower sirloin, and the ribeye, whereas during the distribution process they are often simply unified into the sirloin region. In this work, for detailed classification of beef sirloin regions we develop a model that can learn image information in a reasonable computation time using the MobileNet algorithm. In addition, to increase the accuracy of the model we introduce data augmentation methods as well, which amplifies the image data collected during the distribution process. This data augmentation enables to consider a larger size of training data set by which the accuracy of the model can be significantly improved. The data generated during the data proliferation process was tested using the MobileNet algorithm, where the test data set was obtained from the distribution processes in the real-world practice. Through the computational experiences we confirm that the accuracy of the suggested model is up to 83%. We expect that the classification model of this study can contribute to providing a more accurate and detailed information exchange between suppliers and consumers during the distribution process of beef sirloin.

Records taken on 372 young beef bulls tested at the Ellerslie Bull Test Station, Alberta, Canada from November 1981 to April 1987 were analyzed to quantify the effects of age of dam, on-test age, on-test liveweight and herd of origin of bull on feed efficiency (feed/gain, kg/kg) in the test period (n = 231) and ultrasonic measurement of bakcfat thickness (mm) at the end of the test (n = 372). The reduction in $R^2$ due to each influencing factor (i.e. the variation accounted for by the factor) was used to indicate the importance of the influencing factor. Age of dam and on-test age of bull were not important factors on feed/gain and ultrasonic backfat thickness, as they accounted for less than 0.5% of the variation in feed/gain and ultrasonic backfat thickness, respectively (p > 0.1). On-test liveweight had some influence on feed/gain and ultrasonic backfat thickness, accounting for 3.5% (p < 0.01) and 0.4% (p < 0.05) of the total variation, respectively. The regression coefficients of feed/gain and ultrasonic backfat thickness on on-test liveweight were 0.016 (kg/kg)/kg and .013 mm/kg, respectively, both being significant (p < 0.05), indicating that lighter bulls entering the test were generally more efficient in feed utilization in the test period and had less backfat at the end of the test than heavier entering bulls. Herd of origin of bull accounted for a substantial amount of the total variation (> 16%) in feed/gain and ultrasonic backfat thickness (p = 0.08), indicating that a prolonged aqjustment period was needed to reduce the influence of herd of origin when assessing aggregate genetic merit of beef bulls for growth rate, feed efficiency and lean meat production using a central station performance testing program.

The precision and reliability of the Computer Image Analysis technique using a desk top computer for extracting information from carcass cross section scans was evaluated by the repeatability (R) and coefficient of variation (CV) for error variance. The 6th and 7th ribs cross section of carcasses from 55 fattened Japanese Black steers were used. The image analysis was conducted using a desk top computer (Macintosh-Apple Vision 1710 Display) connected to a scanner and an image capture camera. Two software applications, Adobe Photoshop and Mac Scope were used interchangeably. The information extracted and measured were individual muscle area, circumference length, long and short axes lengths, muscle direction; distance between any two muscle centers of gravity; cross section total area, lean, fat, and bone. The information was extracted after the processes of scanning, digitization, masking, muscle separation, and binarization. When using the Computer Image Analysis technique by desk top computer, proper digitization and selection of scanning resolution are very important in order to obtain accurate information. The R-values for muscle area, circumference, long and axes lengths, and direction ranged from 0.95 to 0.99, whereas those of the distance between any two muscle centers of gravity ranged from 0.96 to 0.99, respectively. For the cross section total area, lean, fat, and bone it ranged from 0.83 to 0.99. Excellent repeatability measurements were observed for muscle direction and distance between any two muscle centers of gravity. The results indicate that the Computer Image Analysis technique using a desk top computer for extracting information from carcass cross section is reliable and has high precision.

Lipid oxidation is one of the most important non-microbial causes of meat quality deterioration. However, there have been different/conflicting views concerning the primary catalysts of lipid oxidation in meat. This presentation provides brief overviews of lipid oxidation mechanism in general and catalysis of lipid oxidation in meat, and then focuses on inter-species differences in lipid oxidation potential, using results from our studies on meats (beef, pork and chicken) at retail and the respective meats of uniform postmortem history. The inter-species differences have highlighted the relative roles of meat pigment (myoglobin) content, catalase activity, and the concentration of oxidation substrates (particularly polyunsaturated fatty acids) in determining the lipid oxidation potential of raw meat versus cooked meat.

고도병(High altitude disease)의 위험에도 불구하고, 고냉지에서 한우를 사육할 경우, 감염이나 스트레스 위험이 낮아서 한우의 육질을 개선하는데 도움이 된다고 한다. 하지만 어떤 고도가 고도병의 위험성이 없이 최적의 사육환경을 제공하는지에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3가지 다른 고도(200m, 400m and 800m)에서 사육되고 있는 한우를 대상으로 혈액 검사, 혈청 생화학 검사 및 스트레스와 관련된 호르몬 검사를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 적혈구 수치와 혈색소의 농도는 800m고지에서 사육된 한우에서 가장 높았고, 200m고지에서 사육된 한우에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 저산소증에 따른 골수와 적혈구 신생 자극 반응에 기인한 것으로 보인다. 혈중의 AST, BUN과 cortisol농도는 800m고지에서 사육된 한우에서 가장 낮게 측정되었으며, 전반적인 건강상태도 200m지대에서 사육된 한우보다 800m지대에 사육된 한우 집단이 건강 상태가 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 한우의 건강에 영향을 주는 스트레스 요인이 800m고지에서 최소로 나타남을 의미하는 것 같다.

Objectives : This study evaluates the neuroprotective effects of Sopung-tang, a mixture of Notopterygii Rhizoma, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Cnidii Rhizoma, Hoelen, Aurantii Nobilis Pericarpium, Pinelliae Tuber, Linderae Radix, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Cyperi Rhizoma, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Asari Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix on the cerebral infarct combined with hyperlipidemia. Method : The hyperlipidemia was induced by the beef tallow 30% diet for 14 days on Sprague-Dawley rats. The cerebral infarct was induced by the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 2 hours with intraluminal thread method. Then the water extract of Sopung-tang was administered a day for 5 days at 3 hours after the cerebral infarct by MCAO. Effect of Sopung-tang was evaluated with the infarct volume and edema percentage by a TTC-stained brain section, and the expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 in the brain tissue by a immunohistochemical stain method. Results : Sopung-tang reduced the infarct size partly in a TTC-stained brain section of the hyperlipidemic MCAO rats. Sopung-tang reduced the infarct volume of the hyperlipidemic MCAO rats significantly. Sopung-tang reduced the edema percentage of the hyperlipidemic MCAO rats, but not significant statistically. Sopung-tang suppressed the Bax expressions in the cerebral penumbra and caudate putamen of the hyperlipidemic MCAO rats significantly. Sopung-tang upregulated the Bcl-2 expression in the caudate putamen of the hyperlipidemic MCAO rats. Conclusion : These results suggest that Sopung-tang plays an anti-apoptotic neuroprotective effect through the suppression of Bax and up-regulation of Bacl-2 expressions in the brain tissues.

"Eumsigbangmun(飮食方文)"is an old culinary archive written in 1880s and has been categorized into 144 parts, 86.5% of the archive deals with food, while the rest deals with clothing and dwelling. The contents of the food section are : recipe, storage, effect and taboo. The recipes are : 7 staple foods, 57 side dishes, 13 rice cakes, 5 Korean cookies and 7 drinks. The spices are : hot chilli pepper paste, soybean sauce and vinegar. The traditional alcoholic drinks are significant to the old culinary archive, but "Eumsigbangmun" has no record of it. Supplying food was a major problem during those times ; therefore, the archive introduces 17 methods of storing and engineering food, such as : storing vegetables and fruits, method of beef jerky, cleansing and storing of fishes. It also cautions about the traits and effects of fishes and meats. "Eumsigbangmun" is mostly similar to "Gyuhabchongseo(閨閤叢書)" and "Jusiksiui(酒食是儀)", however, it deals with / introduces unique foods such as doejomitang and yangjjim.
