The effects of Angelica gigas nakai powder on bread quality during storage period were evaluated. Breads were prepared by the addition of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10% of Angelica gigas nakai powder to flour of the basic formulation. The moisture, crude protein, crude fat and crude ash contents of the bread decreased by increasing amounts of the Angelica gigas nakai powder were the lowest in the control group. There were no significant difference in pH of the bread among each experiment groups. The weight of bread increased with increasing Angelica gigas nakai powder concentration, while the volume of dough decreased. In color values, with increase of Angelica gigas nakai powder concentration, L value decreased in the crust and crumb, but a and b values increased. As the results of texture, hardness, gumminess and chewiness were increased with increase of Angelica gigas nakai powder concentration, but adhesiveness, springiness and cohesiveness were decreased. Softness in the crumb stored for 1 or 7 days was the highest for the bread made with 2% Angelica gigas nakai powder, and chewiness was the lowest for the bread made with 5% Angelica gigas nakai powder. The water activity in the bread stored for 3 days was the highest for the breads made with 2% and 3% Angelica gigas nakai powders. After 7 days, the water activity tended gradually to decrease. In the results of sensory evaluation, the quality of the 0.5% or 1% Angelica gigas nakai powder bread showed the highest in taste and flavor. The color, taste, flavor, appearance, texture, and overall acceptability of the bread decreased with the increasing Angelica gigas nakai powder content. Considering the able outcome, the addition of Angelica gigas nakai powder by 0.5% and 1% is thought to play a role as a functional breads, along with the improvement of quality.

In order to determine the material characteristics of pork rinds according to the breeds, the chemical composition, color, pH, collagen contents, shear force, fatty acid and amino acid contents of pork rinds were investigated. White pork rinds (WPR) and black pork rinds (BPR) were evaluated before and after heating to compare the differences between breeds and the effects of heating treatment. In the chemical composition test, the respective moisture contents for WPR and BPR before heating were 49.90% and 53.75% but increased to 60.75% and 61.09% after heating. The test for crude protein and crude fat contents showed lower values after heating but WPR was higher than BPR. In the color test, the L value decreased rapidly with heating, dropping from 68.75 to 45.11 in WPR and from 67.22 to 49.64 in BPR. WPR had a higher L value and a lower a value than BPR before heating but had a higher L value and a lower a value than WPR after heating. pH was significantly higher in WPR than BPR regardless of heating (p<0.05). The collagen content for WPR and BPR was 10.38 g/100 g and 11.54 g/100 g but increased to 12.00 g/100 g in WPR and decreased to 11.40 g/100 g in BPR after heating. The shear force of 26.14 kgf in WPR was significantly higher than 12.89 kgf in BPR before heating (p<0.05), but the values decreased significantly after heating in both WPR and BPR. Linoleic acid in WPR was 17.29%, which was higher than 15.13% in BPR. The USFA for BPR was also higher than WPR. In amino acid composition, the EAA contents in WPR was 7,190 mg%, which was higher than 5,520 mg% in BPR.

Effects of supplemental charcoal powder and vitamin A on physico-chemical properties in 24 Hanwoo steers were investigated. The Hanwoo steers were randomly assigned to one of the three dietary treatments : 1) Control (commercial feed) 2) T1 (commercial feed supplemented with 2% charcoal powder and 0.2% vitamin A) 3) T2 (commercial feed with 2% charcoal powder). Crude fat content of proximate chemical composition in longissimus muscle was increased at control but moisture of control was rather lower than that of treatment groups (p<0.05). The WHC (water holding capacity) in longissimus muscle was tended to increase in control and shear force was higher in T2 (p<0.05). However, effects of diets charcoal power and vitamin A on pH were not found (p>0.05). Tenderness and flavor of sensory evaluation was improved significantly in control with peculiar and savory taste of Hanwoo being more emphasized. But Juiciness were not difference by treatments. When Hanwoo steers were fed with dietary charcoal powder and vitamin A, the palmitoleic acid and linoleic acid contents were higher compared with that of control (p<0.05), but oleic acid was higher in control than others.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of dietary germanium supplementation on the meat quality of duck. Ducks raised for 42 days were slaughtered and the ground meats were stored at 3$^{\circ}C$ for 12 days under 1200 lux. Experimental treatments were divided into 3 kinds of meat from ducks fed germanium as follows; 1) Control(natural water + commercial feed), 2) T1(1～10 days: natural water + commercial feed, 11-42 days: natural water + commercial feed supplemented with 1 % germanium), 3) T2(1～10 days: germanium submersion water + commercial feed, 11～42 days: natural water + commercial feed supplemented with 1 % germanium). The pH of duck meat was not different among the treatments(p>0.05). The germanium treatments exhibited significantly higher crude fat content in both breast and thigh meat(p<0.05). In the fatty acid composition, T2 contained more unsaturated fatty acid than control or Tl. TPA(textural profile analysis) value such as hardness, gumminess, chewiness and adhesiveness decreased in meat from duck fed supplemental germanium. Cholesterol contents of duck meat decreased in dietary supplemental germanium treatment compared to control, but were not significantly different among them(p>0.05). Dietary germanium supplementation affected on lipid oxidation of meat during storage. TBARS of meat from duck fed germanium was lower than that of control(po.05). The CIE L*, b* and h$\^$0/ values of germanium treatments were significantly(p.o5) higher than those of control. Also a* value showed more stable in germanium diet treatment during storage. Therefore, dietary supplemental germanium to duck resulted in light brownish color formation, improvement tenderness and retardation of lipid oxidation of meat during refrigerated storage.

Overall quality of six kinds of commercial broiler breast fillets (A~F) retailed in Korea were examined, including proximate composition analysis, shape profile analysis, pH, color, tenderness, cooking loss, descriptive analysis, and consumer testing. A total of 120 breast meat fillets were purchased at a local market. Overall quality of broiler breast meat commercially available in Korea was found to vary significantly, indicating a broad range of product quality in the marketplace. Moisture content of meat ranged from 74.4 to 76.4%, whereas protein, fat, and ash contents were 21.8~25.2, 0.2~0.8, and 1.07~1.16%, respectively. The pH ranged from 6.2 to 6.4, whereas color values ($L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$) were 52.2~57.2, -3.5~0.5, and 8.3~13.6, respectively, among all products tested. Approximately 9% variation in cooking loss was detected depending on the products evaluated, whereas shapes (height, width, and length) of meat were also significantly different (15% variation on average). Product F was proven to be the least tender and least liked by consumers, implying that tenderness is a key attribute determining consumer acceptability of broiler breast meat.

The purpose of this study was to obtain the fatty acid composition and the antibacterial activity against pathogen of acne in various parts including seed, flesh and fruit from ripened black raspberry. In fatty acid analysis of lyophilized black raspberry, total fat of dried seed (11.047%) was much higher than in other parts. Moreover, linoleic acid (5.577%) and linolenic acid (2.317%) identified as the major fatty acids in the seed. By contrast, highest fatty acid of dried flesh was palmitic acid (0.323%) but it was remarkably low level compared with fatty acid composition of dried seed. Total polyphenol content in seed extract and flesh extract were 123.64 mg/g and 55.43 mg/g, respectively. DPPH radical scavenging ability of seed extract was higher than flesh and fruit extract. In antibacterial activity experiment against strains related acne such as Propionibacterium acne and Staphylococcus epidermidis, antibacterial activity of flesh extract was stronger than seed extract. However, seed extract showed antibacterial activity of 76.96~89.08% against each strain compared to activity of flesh extract. Based on these results, we concluded that seed of black raspberry can be useful in related field.
