본 연구는 저급한우갈비의 이용을 용이하게 하기 위해 건 양념에 키위, 배 등의 식물성 천연연화제를 첨가하여 저급양념한우갈비의 연도 개선 효과를 알아보고, 품질개선제를 첨가하여 품질개선 효과를 알아보고자 실시되었다.K0.1(키위분말 0.1%), K0.3(키위분말 0.3%), K0.5(키위분말 0.5%)를 첨가한 양념갈비의 MFI value는 각각 341.43$\pm$2.98, 368.31$\pm$10.95, 405.10 $\pm$5.82로 첨가량이 증가할수록 MFI value가 증가하였으며(P<0.001), P0.5(배분말 0.5%), P1.0(배분말 1.0%), P3.0(배분말 3.0%)를 첨가한 양념갈비에서도 첨가량이 증가할수록 MFI value가 증가하였다. 하지만, 배분말의 경우 갈비중량당 3.0% 정도 첨가시 확실한 연육효과가 기대되며, 배분말이 3.0%를 초과할시 더 큰 연육효과는 기대되지만, 갈비표면적보다 배분말의 부피가 역전되어 실효성이 없을 것으로 판단된다. 품질개선제로 CS(Polymix-CS)를 첨가한 경우 0.3% 수준 이상 첨가시 연육효과가 있었고, CS0.3과 CS0.5 처리구에서는 비슷한 MFI value를 나타내었다. 보수력(WHC)을 알아본 실험에서는 키위분말, 배분말 모두 첨가량이 증가할수록 보수력이 저하되었는데(P<0.001), 이러한 현상은 키위의 actinidin의 활성과, 배의 protease 성분으로 기인된 것으로 사료된다. 반면, 품질개선제를 첨가한 CS0.1, CS0.3, CS0.5 처리구에서는 첨가량이 증가할수록 보수력이 증가하였다. Drip loss의 경우는 보수력과 마찬가지로 키위분말과 배분말은 첨가량이 증가할수록 drip loss도 증가하였고, 반대로 품질개선제는 첨가량이 증가할수록 drip loss가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Meat color는 양념과 혼합처리시 L*-value의 측정결과는 배분말 처리구에서 control과 유사한 값을 보였고, a*-value는 키위분말 0.1${\sim}$0.3%, 배분말 0.5${\sim}$1.0%, CS 0.3${\sim}$0.5 수준의 첨가시 control 보다 향상된 값을 보였다. 하지만, 양념갈비의 육색은 양념중 약 70%를 차지하는 설탕과 마늘 등으로 인한 심한 변색으로 첨가제의 첨가로 인한 육색의 안정 및 향상은 힘들 것으로 보인다. 관능검사의 경우 양념과 혼합처리시 Juiciness (P<0.01), Tenderness(P<0.001), Acceptability (P< 0.001) 항목에서 K0.3과 CS0.5 처리구가 전체적으로 높은 관능 수치를 나타내었으며, 배분말 중에서는 P3.0 처리구가 가장 높은 Accept- ability를 나타내었다. 또한 기타 항목에서는 갈비양념 성분으로 인해 유의차가 없었던 것으로 생각되며, 전체적으로 Acceptability는 Tender- ness, Juiciness와 밀접한 관계가 있음이 확인되었다. 본 실험에서 천연연화제로 사용한 키위분말과 배분말은 모두 식육연육효과를 가지고 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 혼합인산염을 통한 품질개선효과도 확인하였다. 특히 키위는 적은 양으로도 연육효과가 있어, 앞으로 저급한우갈비에 효과적인 사용이 기대된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the possible application of 2 D-SDS-PAGE (2 DE)-based proteome analysis techniques to the assessment of extreme proteolysis in postmortem skeletal muscle. Eight Hanwoo longissimus muscles were incubated immediately after slaughter for 24 h at 5$^{\circ}C$, 15$^{\circ}C$ or 36$^{\circ}C$. Warner Bratzler (WB)-shear force and ultrastructural configuration were determined at 24 h, and rate of proteolysis to 24 h was determined by 1 D-SDS-PAGE (1 DE) and 2 DE. In addition, tentative protein identification was performed from peptide mass fingerprints of MALDI-ToF analysis of major protein groups on 2 DE profiles. The result showed that although ultrastructural configuration was similar between the 5$^{\circ}C$ and 36$^{\circ}C$ treatments, meat at 5$^{\circ}C$ had higher WBshear force (approximately 5 kg greater). A higher rate of protein degradation at 36$^{\circ}C$ was observed based on Troponin-T degradation, 1 DE, and 2 DE analysis. This indicates that proteolysis during the early postmortem period was a significant determinant of shear force at 24 h. Little difference in proteolysis between 5$^{\circ}C$ and 15$^{\circ}C$ treatments was found based on classic 1 DE profile assessment. Meanwhile, considerable differences in the 2 DE profiles between the two treatments were revealed, with substantially higher rate of proteolysis at 15$^{\circ}C$ compared to 5$^{\circ}C$. Nuclease treatment improved 2 DE profile resolution. 400 ${\mu}$g and 600 ${\mu}$g of sample loading appeared to be appropriate for 24 cm pH 3-10 and pH 5-7 IPG strips, respectively. Protein detection and quantification of the 5$^{\circ}C$, 15$^{\circ}C$ and 36$^{\circ}C$ 2 DE profiles revealed 78, 163 and 232 protein spots respectively that were differentially modified in terms of their electrophoretic properties between approximately pI 5.3-7.7 with the molecular weight range of approximately 71-12 kDa. The current results demonstrated that 2 DE was a superior tool to 1 DE for characterising proteolysis in postmortem skeletal muscle.

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of calpain system on the formation of volatile flavor compounds in Hanwoo beef. In the first experiment (exp.1), Longissimus lumborum (LL) muscle samples were injected with solutions containing 50 mM $CaCl_2$ or 50 mM $ZnCl_2$ and 154 mM NaCl respectively, and aged for 7 d at $4^{\circ}C$. In the second experiment (exp.2), the ground LL muscle was incubated with the aforementioned solutions containing cathepsin inhibitor. The injection with $CaCl_2$ solution greatly elevated the calpain activity and concomitantly, significantly decreased the Warner-Bratzler shear force (p<0.05). The pH, meat color and cooking loss did not differ (p>0.05) between the treatment groups. A total of 51 volatile compounds were identified using the solid phase microextraction with gas chromatography (SPME-GC). Results on volatile analyses from the both experiments showed that the injection with calcium ions led to significant increase (p<0.05) concentrations of pyrazines and sulfuric compounds. These results coincide with a higher rate of protein degradation due to the $CaCl_2$ injection as compared to the control group. Significantly (p<0.05) higher levels of lipid oxidation derived-aldehydes were found in the samples with $ZnCl_2$. The exp.1 showed that cathepsin inhibitors had no effect on the formation of volatile flavor components after 7 d of aging. These results imply that the proteolytic activity of the calpain system is associated with generation of volatile compounds of chiller-aged beef, while the role of cathepsins is likely very limited.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) application on meat quality traits, sensory parameters, and the microstructure of semitendinosus muscle from Hanwoo cattle. The samples were treated in an ultrasonic bath (35 kHz) at an intensity of 800 W/cm² for 60 min, followed by aging at 1℃ for 0, 3, and 7 days. The application of ultrasound resulted in lower Warner-Bratzler shear force and higher myofibrillar fragmentation index values during the storage period. HIU also enhanced the tenderness, flavor, umami, and overall acceptability of cooked beef muscle. However, the electronic tongue evaluation results showed higher umami values in the control treatment on the seventh day of storage. The microstructure of sonicated meat showed disorganized myofibrillar architecture and swelling in the A-band region of sarcomeres during the storage period, which led to greater meat tenderness. The heatmap illustrated the high abundance of α-linolenic acid (C20:5n3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (C18:3n3) in sonicated meat samples on the third day of the storage. These results showed that HIU is a potential method for tenderizing and improving the sensory attributes of beef without compromising other quality aspects.

Fat deposition in animal muscles differs according to the genetics and muscle anatomical locations. Moreover, different fat to lean muscle ratios (quality grade, QG) might contribute to aroma development in highly marbled beef. Scientific evidence is required to determine whether the abundance of aroma volatiles is positively correlated with the amount of fat in highly marbled beef. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of QG on beef aroma profile using electronic nose data and a chemometric approach. An electronic nose with metal oxide semiconductors was used, and discrimination was performed using multivariate analysis, including principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering. The M. longissimus lumborum (striploin) of QG 1++, 1+, 1, and 2 of Hanwoo steers (n=6), finished under identical feeding systems on similar farms, were used. In contrast to the proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), the abundance of volatile compounds and the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) decreased as the QG increased. The aroma profile of striploin from carcasses of different QGs was well-discriminated. QG1++ was close to QG1+, while QG1 and QG2 were within a cluster. In conclusion, aroma development in beef is strongly influenced by fat deposition, particularly the fat-to-lean muscle ratio with regard to the proportion of PUFA. As MUFA slows down the oxidation and release of volatile compounds, leaner beef containing a higher proportion of PUFA produces more volatile compounds than beef with a higher amount of intramuscular fat.

Three hundred thirty five progeny testing steers of Korean beef cattle were evaluated ultrasonically for back fat thickness (BFT), longissimus muscle area (LMA) and intramuscular fat (IF) before slaughter. Class measurements associated with the Korean yield grade and quality grade were also obtained. Residual standard deviation between ultrasonic estimates and carcass measurements of BFT, LMA were 1.49 mm and $0.96cm^2$. The linear correlation coefficients (p<0.01) between ultrasonic estimates and carcass measurements of BFT, LMA and IF were 0.75, 0.57 and 0.67, respectively. Results for improving predictions of yield grade by four methods-the Korean yield grade index equation, fat depth alone, regression and decision tree methods were 75.4%, 79.6%, 64.3% and 81.4%, respectively. We conclude that the decision tree method can easily predict yield grade and is also useful for increasing prediction accuracy rate.

Interaction between carcass quality grade and end-point cooking temperature on eating quality of Hanwoo m. longissimus was investigated. Ten (10) of steers were sampled from a commercial population; carcasses with QG 1⁺⁺ (n=5) and QG 1 (n=5) were chosen. Samples were cooked by electric oven at 60 or 82℃ and compared with uncooked control samples. The pH was not affected by cooking temperature but decreased the redness after cooking and steaks cooked at 60℃ were more reddish than steaks cooked at 82℃ in both QG groups. Higher cooking temperature greatly (p<0.05) increased the cooking loss, but there was no significant interaction between cooking temperature and QG on the cooking loss. Moisture is negatively correlated with temperature in both QG while the proportionate relationship between crude fat and end-point temperature found in QG 1⁺⁺. WBSF values were significantly (p<0.05) high for QG 1, while that was significantly (p<0.05) increased when the temperature continues to increase. The increasing quality grade of beef resulted in significant higher (p<0.01) level of TBARS and cooking temperature increased TBARS content. Fatty acid composition was not altered by cooking at both temperatures and also the amount of fat intake was not changed. The current study indicates that eating quality of beef m. longissimus was greatly influenced by end-point temperature being interacted with QG. However, the amount and composition of fat were stable regardless of end-point temperatures. These results will provide a consumer reference to determine cooking conditions and intramuscular fat content.

This study aimed to estimate genetic correlation between carcass grading and retail productivity traits and to estimate the correlated response on retail productivity traits through selection for carcass grading traits in order to assess the efficacy of indirect selection. Genetic parameters were estimated with the data from 4240 Hanwoo steers using mixed models, and phenotypes included carcass weight (CWT), back fat thickness (BFT), eye muscle area (EMA), marbling (MAR), and estimated lean yield percentage (ELP) as the carcass grading traits, and weight and portion of retail cuts (RCW and RCP), trimmed fats (TFW and TFP) and trimmed bones (TBW and TBP) as the lean productivity traits. The CWT had positive genetic correlations with RCW (0.95) and TFW (0.73), but its genetic correlation with RCP was negligible (0.02). The BFT was negatively correlated with RCP (-0.63), but positively correlated with TFW and TFP (0.77 and 0.70). Genetic correlations of MAR with TFW and TFP were low. Among the carcass grading traits, only EMA was positively correlated with both RCW (0.60) and RCP (0.72). The EMA had a relatively strong negative genetic correlation with TFW (-0.64). The genetic correlation coefficients of ELP with RCP, TFW, and TFP were 0.76, -0.90, and -0.82, respectively. These correlation coefficients suggested that the ELP and EMA might be favorable traits in regulating lean productivity of carcass.

The aim of this study was to develop a marbling classification and prediction model using small parts of sirloin images based on a deep learning algorithm, namely, a convolutional neural network (CNN). Samples were purchased from a commercial slaughterhouse in Korea, images for each grade were acquired, and the total images (n = 500) were assigned according to their grade number: 1++, 1+, 1, and both 2 & 3. The image acquisition system consists of a DSLR camera with a polarization filter to remove diffusive reflectance and two light sources (55 W). To correct the distorted original images, a radial correction algorithm was implemented. Color images of sirloins of Hanwoo (mixed with feeder cattle, steer, and calf) were divided and sub-images with image sizes of 161 × 161 were made to train the marbling prediction model. In this study, the convolutional neural network (CNN) has four convolution layers and yields prediction results in accordance with marbling grades (1++, 1+, 1, and 2&3). Every single layer uses a rectified linear unit (ReLU) function as an activation function and max-pooling is used for extracting the edge between fat and muscle and reducing the variance of the data. Prediction accuracy was measured using an accuracy and kappa coefficient from a confusion matrix. We summed the prediction of sub-images and determined the total average prediction accuracy. Training accuracy was 100% and the test accuracy was 86%, indicating comparably good performance using the CNN. This study provides classification potential for predicting the marbling grade using color images and a convolutional neural network algorithm.
