Ths studies was carried out to investigate the processing possibility of pheasant meat extracts treated with proteases. The crude protein, aminonitrogen, degree of hydrolysis, yield and amino acid composition of pheasant meat extracts when it was treated with proteases at various temperature and reaction time were analyzed. The crude protein contents of pheasant meat extracts processed in $130^{\circ}C$ were more than when it was done in $100^{\circ}C$, but the contents of aminonitrogen were not quite different between two processing temperature. The content of crude protein and aminonitrogen when pheasant meat was hydrolyzed with protease NP and prozyme A. The yields of pheasant meat extracts, when pheasant meat were treated at $100^{\circ}C$ and $130^{\circ}C$, were from 2.24 to 7.10% and from 5.51 to 10.45%, respectively. And the yield of extraction depended on extraction temperature, kinds of enzyme, amount of enzyme, extraction time. The content of aminonitrogen in pheasant meat extracts treated with enzyme was much higher than any other treatments. And it depended on amount of enzyme, extraction time and temperature. The amount of the amino acids in pheasant meat extracts treated by protease NP were eminently higher than by heat at $100^{\circ}C$ or $130^{\circ}C$.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of marination condition(immersion and tumbling) on quality characteristics of cured pork meat and sensory properties of pork jerky. Pork meat was immersed for 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours or tumbled for 10, 20, 30, and 60 minutes with curing solution. The jerky was made from cured pork meat immersed for 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours or tumbled fer 10, 20, 30, and 60 minutes. The curing yields and water holding capacity in immersion and tumbling treatments were increased as marination time increased, and the curing yields of tumbling treatments were higher than those of immersion treatments, but water holding capacity was not. The pH value of all treatments were not significantly different. CIE $L^*$- and $b^*$-value of immersion treatments were significantly decreased as marination time increased, but CIE $a^*$-value were increased. Objective color of tumbling treatments showed a similar tendency with those of immersion treatment. The sensory properties of pork jerky were not significantly different between immersion and tumbling treatments.

This study was carried out to investigate the feeding effect of by-products such as ginseng loaves(GL) and stem (GS) which had about 8% of crude saponin on pork carcass and meat quality characteristics when they were fed for 40 days. The ginseng leaves and stem were added in feed and the pigs were slaughtered at 10, 20, 30 and 40 days. The chilled carcass weight and trimmed fat contents were higher(86.50 kg) in the pork fed for 40 days. The yields of fore legs were higher in pork fed for 10 days(P<0.05) and there was no different in the yields of the other portion cuts such as shoulder, rib, loin, belly, hind legs and tenderlons. The incidence of percentages for grade A and B decreased as the feeding periods increased up to 40 days. The backfat thickness was lowest in carcasses from pigs fed up to 20 days(P<0.05). The L values were highest in pork fed up to 30 days(50.22) and lowest(46.91) for pork fed 10 days. The incidence of PSE pork was low in pork fed for 20 days when compared to other feeding days. Cooking loss was lowest and water holding capacity(WHC) was highest in pork fed GL and GS stem, respectively. However, the analysis for accumulation contents of saponin and functionality in pork fed GL and GS is needed in the future research.

A total of 127 Korean native black pigs(gilt 30, boar 97) were used to investigate the carcass properties, yields of retail cut and meat quality. The average live weight, chilled carcass percentage and retail cut percentage used in this study were 74.69kg, 71.14% and 61.09% for boar, and 75.5kg, 73.88% and 56.25% for gilt, respectively. Although gilts were higher in live weight and chilled carcass percentage whereas lower in retail cut percentage when compared to boars, there was no significantly difference between gender(p<0.05). Gilts had higher fat contents than boars regardless of weight range groups. Protein contents increased as slaughter weight increased for gilt and boar groups. Gilts contained high intramuscular fat contents had significantly lower Warner-Bratzler shear force(WBS) and water holding capacity(WHC) when compared to boar in the same weight range group(p<0.05). There was no significantly different in meat color(p>0.05) although gilts had higher L(lightness), a(redness) and b(yellowness) values when compared to the same group of boar. From the result of this study can be used for the grading guideline and quality evaluation standard of Korean native black pigs by gender and live weight.

The response of broiler chicks to intubation of nutrients (starch, casein, soybean oil or their combinations) into the crop immediately after hatch was evaluated for performance, intestinal development, meat yield and immune competence up to 35 d of age. A control group with no access to feed and two test groups fed either inert material (sawdust) or starter diet for the initial 24 h after hatch were compared with nutrient intubated groups (n = 7). A total of 300 broiler chicks were equally distributed to 10 dietary groups with 6 replicates of 5 chicks each. After 24 h of hatch, all groups were fed ad libitum the starter (0-21 d) and finisher diets (22-35 d). Results indicated that post-hatch intubation of starch into the crop significantly (p${\leq}$0.05) improved body weight (at 14 and 35 d of age), readyto-cook meat yields, weights of breast muscle and small intestine segments, cell-mediated immune response, ND titers and weight of bursa compared to chicks starved or fed sawdust during the initial 24 h after hatch. However, chicks with access to feed immediately after hatch or intubation of starch, soybean oil, starch+casein, starch+soybean oil or starch+casein+soybean oil exhibited similar positive effects. Intubation of casein either alone or in combination with soybean oil was superior to the starved or sawdust fed groups, but inferior to other groups for all the parameters studied. It was concluded from the study that intubation of starch individually or in combination with casein and/or soybean oil effectively circumvented the negative effects of post-hatch starvation for 24 h. Among the nutrients intubated, carbohydrate (starch) was better utilized by the chicks than protein (casein) or fat during the initial post-hatch period.

Many manufacturing processes damage the structure of meat products and this often contributes to lipid oxidation which could influence warmed-over flavor (WOF) in precooked beef that is reheated beef. Electrical stimulation causes contraction of muscles and improves tissue tenderization. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of lipid oxidation or warmed-over flavor that could be affected by electrical stimulation of precooked roast beef after refrigerated storage and reheating. The results show that there was no significant difference between chemical compositions and cooking yields when comparing non-electrically stimulated and electrically stimulated roast beef. Moreover, electrical stimulation had no significant effect on oxidative stability and off-flavor problems of precooked roast beef as evaluated by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and sensory test (warmed-over aroma and warmed-over flavor). However, there was an increased undesirable WOF and a decrease in tenderness for both ES and Non-ES treatments over refrigerated storage time. Electrical stimulation did cause reactions of amino acids or other compounds to decrease the desirable beef flavor in re-cooked meat.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of hot-boning and soy sauce as a curing agent on the processing properties of beef jerky. Beef jerky was prepared under the following four treatment conditions; Beef jerky with cold-boned beef and salt solution, beef jerky with cold-boned beef and soy sauce solution, beef jerky with hot-boned beef and salt solution, and beef jerky with hot-boned beef and soy sauce solution. Cured meat and jerky containing hot-boned beef had a significantly higher pH, water holding capacity (WHC), moisture content, Myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI), processing yields, tenderness, and sensorial scores than samples containing cold-boned beef (p<0.05). Regardless of the raw materials, the jerky containing soy sauce had a significantly lower pH, WHC, moisture content, salt content, TBA, CIE $L^*$ and $b^*-$ values, and significantly higher MFI, mechanical tenderness, and sensorial scores (p<0.05). Based on these findings, we concluded that the use of hot-boned meat and soy sauce was the most effective boning method and curing agent during beef jerky processing.

For the effective utilization of the fish resource in coastal regions, an investigation on optimum processing conditions and meat quality textured fish protein concentrate (FPC) was carried out with the fish meat of filefish and sardine. Optimum pH and sodium chloride content of fish meat were 7.5 and 1.0 %, respectively. The most effective soaking conditions were as follows ; soaking time, 30 min ; temperature of ethanol, 5 to $20^{\circ}C$ ; amount of added ethanol, 3 times the weight of the fishmeat paste ; repeated number of soaking in ethanol for filefish and sardine, 2 and 4, respectively. The ethanol remaining is meaty textured FPC could be removed effectively by forced-air drying. Yields of the product to the minced meat weight and the contents of protein lipid in meaty textured from filefish were 21.1, 77.6 and 0.2 % and those from sardine were 24.3, 75.8 and 3.6 %, respectively. Contents of essential amino acids in meaty textured FPC of filefish and sardine were not inferior to those of beef, textured soybean protein and FAO pattern. Beef meat could be substituted with the meaty textured FPC up to 50 % in the processing of typical meat balls and hamburger without any significant loss in its taste, odor and texture.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of various mixtures of the chicken skin and wheat fiber on the properties of chicken nuggets. Two skin and fiber mixtures (SFM) were prepared using the following formulations; SFM-1: chicken skin (50%), wheat fiber (20%), and ice (30%); and SFM-2: chicken skin (30%), wheat fiber (20%), and ice (50%). Chicken nugget samples were prepared by adding the following amounts of either SFM-1 or SFM-2: 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10%. The water content for samples formulated with SFM-1 or SFM-2 was higher than in the control (p<0.05), and increased with increasing the concentrations of SFM-1 and SFM-2. The addition of SFM-1 and SFM-2 had no significant effect on the pH of the samples. The lightness value of uncooked chicken nuggets was higher than that of cooked chicken nuggets for all the samples tested. Chicken nuggets formulated with SFM-1 and SFM-2 displayed higher cooking yields than the control sample. The hardness of the control sample was also lower than the samples containing SFM-1 and SFM-2. The sensory evaluation showed no significant differences between the control and the samples containing SFM. Therefore, the incorporation of a chicken skin and wheat fiber mixture improved the quality of chicken nuggets.

An experiment was conducted at the experimental duck farm of Cantho University to determine the effects of feeding duckweed (Lemna minor) that completely replaced commercial protein supplements in diets for crossbred meat ducks. The experiment included five treatments, with four replicates and ten crossbred ducks per replicate (pen). The five diets were based on broken rice offered ad libitum, supplemented with either 27 (control, SB100), 19 (SB70), 15 (SB55), 12 (SB40) or zero (SB0) g/day of ground, roasted soya beans, with fresh duckweed supplied ad libitum, except for the control (SB0) treatment. A vitamin / mineral premix and salt were included in the control (SB100) diet, but not in the diets with duckweed. These diets were fed to growing crossbred meat ducks (Czechoslovak Cherry Valley hybrids) from 28 to 63 days of age, when two birds (one male and one female) per pen were slaughtered for carcass evaluation. Total daily intakes were 95, 108, 108, 105 and 107 g of dry matter (DM) (p<0.001) and daily live weight gains 26.1, 29.1, 28.3, 27.1 and 27.6 g (p<0.001) for the SB100, SB70, SB55, SB40 and SB0 diets, respectively. Corresponding feed conversion ratios (FCR, dry matter basis) were 3.63, 3.71, 3.82, 3.89 and 3.88 kg feed/kg gain, respectively. There were no significant differences in carcass yields, chest and thigh muscle weights, and internal organ weights between the ducks fed the control diet and those fed duckweed diets. Fresh duckweed can completely replace roasted soya beans and a vitamin-mineral premix in broken rice based diets for growing crossbred ducks without reduction in growth performance or carcass traits. If the duckweed is grown on farm, and managed and harvested by household labour, the saving over purchased protein supplements is up to 48%.
