  • In this study, we investigated the chemical and enzymatic properties of unmarketable cultured bastard halibut (UCBH) Paralichthys olivaceus harvested at different times (March, May, July, September, November, and January), and we examined the physical properties of surimi gel from UCBH as a potential source of surimi and surimi gel. The moisture and crude protein contents of UCBH harvested in July and January were >78% and <19%, respectively, which is greater than the moisture content in UCBH harvested in May, March, and September, but lower than the crude protein content. Regardless of the month of harvest, the UCBH had a higher crude protein content than Alaska pollock, which is the largest fishery biomass used for surimi and surimi gel, but a lower moisture content. Regardless of the month of harvest, the enzymatic activity in crude extracts of UCBH muscle ranged from 0.31-0.59 U/mg for casein (pH 6.0 and 9.0) and 11.7-12.7 U/mg for LeuPNA. These findings suggest that autolytic enzymes were unaffected by gel formation. Gel strength was highest in the surimi gel prepared from UCBH harvested in September, November, and January; second highest in that prepared from UCBH harvested in March and May; and lowest in that prepared from UCBH harvested in July. Compared to the gel strength of surimi gel from grade SA commercial Alaska pollock surimi, the strength of the surimi gels prepared from UCBH harvested in March, May, September, November, and January were superior, whereas that of the surimi gel prepared from UCBH harvested in July was similar.

  • Fermented skate has a unique ammonia-like flavor. The flavor is preferred by a few lovers of skate muscle, while women and young people may be sensitive to the odor. Organic acids were used to reduce the ammonia-like odor in fermented skate and to investigate the physicochemical properties. Fermented skate muscles were sprayed with 20 mL of acetic acid or citric acid (3, 5, and 7%) for 30 seconds and stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. The physicochemical properties of organic acid-treated fermented skate were investigated during storage. The control, which was treated with distilled water, showed a higher pH value than the samples treated with organic acids. The $L^*$ value increased with increasing organic acid concentration, while the $a^*$ and $b^*$ values were not significantly different among the samples. The trimethylamine (TMA) decreased with increasing in the organic acid concentration, but it was not significantly different after 9 days of storage. Ammonia-type nitrogen and ammonia-like flavoring, decreased with increasing in the organic acid concentration, whereas ammonia-type nitrogen increased with a storage period more than 6 days. In conclusion, fermented skate treated with 7% citric acid was the best treatment to reduce the ammonia-like odor.

  • Effects of addition level of sodium chloride (NaCl) on gel properties of surimi-like pork (SLP) were investigated. Porcine semimembranosus muscle was used to manufacture SIP contained 1, 2, 3 and 4% NaCl to measure moisture content, pH, color, gel strength, micro-structure and sensory evaluation. The pH and moisture content of SLP were decreased as increasing of NaCl level. However, the gel strength of SLP was increased with increasing of NaCl level. Values of yellowness and chroma were lower in SLP of 2% and 3% NaCl compared with those of 1% and 4% NaCl. Amorphus protein particles size in micro-structure of SLP was decreased and coagulated as increasing level of NaCl. SLP of 1% NaCl had a structure formed by aggregates of densely packed globular proteins and arranged in clusters, whereas a well-structured matrix with a highly interconnected network of strand was observed in SLP of 4% NaCl. Result suggested that the increasing gel strength with NaCl level might be due to lower moisture content and denser micro-structure of gel.

  • This study evaluated the effects of dietary fiber extracted from rice bran on the chemical composition, cooking characteristics and sensory properties of emulsion type sausage. Sausages were produced containing 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% dietary fiber extracted from rice bran. The negative control had the highest fat, cooking loss, CIE L- and CIE a-values. The sausages containing rice bran had higher moisture, ash, pH, and CIE b-values than the control. Sausages with 3% rice bran had the lowest cooking loss. Sausages with 4% rice bran had the highest hardness and cohesiveness. There was a significant difference among the emulsion sausage samples with respect to sensory properties, with sausages containing 1% and 2% rice bran having a higher overall acceptability than the other sausages.

  • Objective: This study examined the effects of stimulating fingertip temperature on the patterns of force sharing and stability properties during multi-finger force production tasks. Method: 9 adult subjects (male: 3, female: 6, age: $26.11{\pm}4.01yrs$, height: $169.22{\pm}5.97cm$, weight: $61.44{\pm}11.27kg$) participated in this study. The experiment consisted of three blocks: 1) maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) task, 2) single-finger ramp task to quantify enslaving (i.e., unintended force production by non-task fingers), and 3) 12 trials of multi-finger steady-state force production task at 20% MVC. There were three temperature conditions including body-temperature (i.e., control condition), $40^{\circ}C$, and $43^{\circ}C$, and the stimulation was given to the index finger only for all experimental conditions. Results: There were no significant differences in the MVC forces, enslaving, and the accuracy of performance during the steady-state task between the conditions. However, the share of stimulated index finger force increased with the index fingertip temperature, while the share of middle finger force decreased. Also, the coefficient of variation of both index and middle finger forces over repetitive trials increased with the index fingertip temperature. Under the framework of the uncontrolled manifold (UCM) hypothesis used to quantify indices of multi-finger synergies (i.e., stability property) stabilizing total force during the steady-state task, the two variance components within the UCM analysis increased together with the fingertip temperature, while no changes in the synergy indices between the conditions. Conclusion: The current results showed that fingertip temperature stimulation only to index finger does not affect to muscle force production capability of multi-finger, independence of individual fingers, and force production accuracy by the involvement of all four fingers. The effect of fingertip temperature on the sharing pattern and force variation may be due to diffuse reflex effects of the induced afferent activity on alpha-motoneuronal pools. However, the unchanged stability properties may be the reflection of the active error compensation strategies by non-stimulated finger actions.

  • The quality of meat is highly variable in many properties. This variability originates from both animal production and meat processing. At the pre-slaughter stage, animal factors such as breed, sex, age contribute to this variability. Environmental factors include feeding, rearing, transport and conditions just before slaughter (Hildrum et al., 1995). Meat can be presented in a variety of forms, each offering different opportunities for adulteration and contamination. This has imposed great pressure on the food manufacturing industry to guarantee the safety of meat. Tissue and muscle speciation of flesh foods, as well as speciation of animal derived by-products fed to all classes of domestic animals, are now perhaps the most important uncertainty which the food industry must resolve to allay consumer concern. Recently, there is a demand for rapid and low cost methods of direct quality measurements in both food and food ingredients (including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), enzymatic and inmunological tests (e.g. ELISA test) and physical tests) to establish their authenticity and hence guarantee the quality of products manufactured for consumers (Holland et al., 1998). The use of Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) for the rapid, precise and non-destructive analysis of a wide range of organic materials has been comprehensively documented (Osborne et at., 1993). Most of the established methods have involved the development of NIRS calibrations for the quantitative prediction of composition in meat (Ben-Gera and Norris, 1968; Lanza, 1983; Clark and Short, 1994). This was a rational strategy to pursue during the initial stages of its application, given the type of equipment available, the state of development of the emerging discipline of chemometrics and the overwhelming commercial interest in solving such problems (Downey, 1994). One of the advantages of NIRS technology is not only to assess chemical structures through the analysis of the molecular bonds in the near infrared spectrum, but also to build an optical model characteristic of the sample which behaves like the “finger print” of the sample. This opens the possibility of using spectra to determine complex attributes of organic structures, which are related to molecular chromophores, organoleptic scores and sensory characteristics (Hildrum et al., 1994, 1995; Park et al., 1998). In addition, the application of statistical packages like principal component or discriminant analysis provides the possibility to understand the optical properties of the sample and make a classification without the chemical information. The objectives of this present work were: (1) to examine two methods of sample presentation to the instrument (intact and minced) and (2) to explore the use of principal component analysis (PCA) and Soft Independent Modelling of class Analogy (SIMCA) to classify muscles by quality attributes. Seventy-eight (n: 78) beef muscles (m. longissimus dorsi) from Hereford breed of cattle were used. The samples were scanned in a NIRS monochromator instrument (NIR Systems 6500, Silver Spring, MD, USA) in reflectance mode (log 1/R). Both intact and minced presentation to the instrument were explored. Qualitative analysis of optical information through PCA and SIMCA analysis showed differences in muscles resulting from two different feeding systems.

  • The purpose of the present work is to find out the optimal conditions for the production of filefish protein preparations and to define the functional properties of the protein products. Fish protein concentrate (FPC) and fish protein isolate (FPI) were prepared by extraction of whole or headed and gutted filefish with various organic solvents. The results of the present study are as follows; 1. Among the solvents tested iso-propyl alcohol appeared to be the most effective for the extraction of lipid and also for that trimethylamine from the fish muscle. 2. The optimal extraction time showed to be 20 minutes with ethyl iso-propyl alcohol at $65-70^{\circ}C$under adequate mixing. 3. The most effective solvent ratio to the weight of fish material was proved to be 5:1 at the first extraction and to be 2:1 at the second stage. 4. The lipid content of the protein preparations reduced to below 0.5% by the third stage of extraction of headed or gutted filefish. The protein concentrate from whole fish, however, showed the lipid content of 0.27-0.31% only after the fifth stage of extration. 5. The protein contents of the protein concentrate and the protein isolate from whole filefish were 81.08% and 87.41% and the lipid contents of the two protein preparations were 0.43% and 0.45% respectively. 6. Higher calcium content was found in the protein concentrate rather than in the protein isolate. No sodium and potassium in the protein isolate were detected while the fish concentrate appeared to contain a considerable amounts of both elements. 7. The functional properties, such as suspended solids, wetability, emulsion stability and foam viscosity of the filefish protein isolates were proved to be higher than those of the protein concentrate.

  • In order to develop a new type of food source for the effective utilization of fish protein, plastein reaction was applied to improve the functional properties of filefish protein. Plasteins were synthesized from a peptic filefish protein hydrolysate by papain, pepsin, $\alpha-chymotrypsin$ and protease(from Streptomyces griceus) under the optimum conditions of previous paper). Also, L-glutamic acid diethylester and L-leucine ethylester were incorporated into plastein during the plastein reaction by papain. And, General composition, yield, molecular weight, amino acid composition, color and IR spectrum of plasteins were measured. The protein, ash and lipid content of the plasteins were $72\~78\%,\;7.4\~11.8\%\;and\;0.3\~0.9\%$ respectively. The yield of plasteins were papain $55.0\%,\;pepsin\;47.6\%,\;\alpha-chymotrypsin\;38.3\%,\;protease\;23.6\%$, glutamic acid-incorporated plastein (Glu-Plastein) $35.0\%$, and leucine-incorporated plastein (Leu-plastein) $45.7\%$. The glutamic acid and leucine content in Glu-plastein and Leu-plastein were $38.7\%,\;41,7\%$, respectively, while the contents in the peptic filefish protein hydrolysate were $16.01\%\;and\;8.16\%$, respectively. The amino acid compositions were similar to that of the original filefish muscle protein. The major molecular weights of the peptic hydrolysate estimated by gel filteration were 2,000 and 310, and those of plasteihs were 21,000 and 4,900 for papain, 24,000 for pepsin, 18,500 for $\alpha-chymotrypsin$ 6,700 for protease, 24,000 for Glu-plastein and 17,000 for Leu-plastein. The structural changes in freeze-dried filefish meat, the FPC and hydrolysate were not observed on the IR spectrum. But plasteins showed amide I band in $1,600\~l,700cm^{-1}$ range and resulted in a strong band in $800\~850\;cm^{-1},\;700\~750\;cm^{-1}\;and\;650\~700\;cm^{-1}$. The amide I band of Glu-plastein was wider than those of other plasteins and had also a small band at $1,440\;cm^{-1}$.

  • We investigated the quality properties of pork jerky prepared with various humectants (Konjac, egg albumin, isolated soy protein). Jerky was prepared as follows; control with no humectants, treatments with 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2% humectants, respectively. Humectant treatments had higher drying yields of pork jerky than the control (p<0.05), Konjac treatment produced the the highest drying yields among the humectants tested. CIE a-and b-value were lowest in isolated soy protein treatments. b-value in 0.2% egg albumin treatments were higher than other treatments (p<0.05). Jerky water content increased as humectant content increased. Water activity (Aw) in 0.2% Konjac treatments was higher than controls and 0.05% Konjac (p<0.05). In textual profile evaluations, control samples had greater hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness values than other treatments, but very low springiness (p<0.05). Control had significantly (p<0.05) lower scores than the other treatments in sensorial texture, juiciness and overall acceptability. Based on our findings, we conclude that 0.05% Konjac was the most effective humectant among those we tested in this study.

  • This study was conducted to examine the growth performance, carcass characteristics, physico-chemical properties and fatty acid composition of muscle tissues of Hanwoo steers when they were fed diets containing four levels of E. ulmoides leaves. Steers were allotted to one of four dietary treatments, which were designed to progressively substitute Eucommia ulmoides for 0, 3, 5 and 10% of the rice straw in the basal diet. Seventy two Hanwoo steers (321±13kg) were used. Average daily gain (0.81-0.86kg) and feed conversion (10.05-10.59) were not changed by feeding E. ulmoides leaves. Emission of fecal ammonia gas was decreased by increasing substitution levels of E. ulmoides leaves. Emission of ammonia gas in feces of steers were significantly (p<0.05) decreased in the 5% and 10% treatments at 40℃ compared with in control (30.6ppm) and 3% treatment (29.8ppm), respectively 20.3 and 21.6ppm. Back fat thickness was higher (p<0.05) in steers fed control diet (15.0mm) than 5 and 10% E. ulmoides diets (10.2 and 10.5mm respectively). The grade ‘A’ appearances of meat yield of steers were increased up to 20% by the 3% substitution of E. ulmoides leaves, and the grades ‘1+’ and ‘1’ appearances of meat quality were significantly improved (p<0.05) by the 5 and 10% Eucommia ulmoides feeding. There was no statistical difference in meat color of loin and top round among all treatments. It appeared that the 5% and 10% E. ulmoides leaves feeding affected (p<0.05) a increase in oleic acid concentration in loin and top round muscles. The concentration of serum cholesterol was lower (p<0.05) in steers fed 10% E. ulmoides (53.3mg/100g) than that of the other treatments (55.7-57.0mg/100g). The diarrhea incidence was about 20.26% in control, while it was lower (p<0.05) in the 5 and 10% E. ulmoides leaves treatments (10.4-12.5%) than control. There was no statistical difference in the occurrences of respiratory disease among all treatments. It is concluded that E. ulmoides leaves should be a prospective feed additive because it contains various functional substances. It is likely that air-dried E. ulmoides leaves can reduce the back fat thickness of Hanwoo steers and the occurrences of diarrhea. Therefore, the 5 and 10% substitution of E. ulmoides for roughage are highly recommended to be used in practice.
