This experiment was conducted to investigate the combined effects of radiation and antiseptics on the keeping qualities of pork sausage, which was treated with potassium sorbate and AF-2(2-(-2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-acrylamide), and then followed by gamma radiation of 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 Mrad. Amounts of treated antiseptics were a quarter, half, and full levels of their maximum permissible concentration. Irradiated and unirradiated sausages were stored for 50 days at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;25^{\circ}C$, and their changes in rancidity, volatile basic nitrogen, bacterial counts, pH, and sensory analysis were examined during the storage period. The results obtained are as follows: 1) Preservative effects of antiseptics were manifested at cold storage; antiseptics treatment of a quarter-level and unirradiation following low-temperature storage showed the same good keeping qualities as the combined treatment of full-level antiseptics and radiation of 0.25 Mrad following high-temperature storage. 2) There did not appear to recognize irradiation-odor, while color and odor were deteriorated intensively by storage temperature. Sausage irradiated with 0.75 Mrad has shown slightly noticeable off-odor at the end of storage at $25^{\circ}C$. 3) The most suitable radiation dose was considered to be 0.5 Mrad, which could extend the storage life about $2{\sim}3$ times longer than untreated.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of combinations of $NaNO_2$ and NaCl concentrations on Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) growth in emulsion-type sausage. Methods: Emulsion-type sausages formulated with different combinations of $NaNO_2$ (0 and 10 ppm) and NaCl (1.00%, 1.25%, and 1.50%) were inoculated with a five-strain L. monocytogenes mixture, and stored at $4^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, and $15^{\circ}C$, under aerobic or vacuum conditions. L. monocytogenes cell counts were measured at appropriate intervals, and kinetic parameters such as growth rate and lag phase duration (LPD) were calculated using the modified Gompertz model. Results: Growth rates increased (0.004 to 0.079 Log colony-forming unit [CFU]/g/h) as storage temperature increased, but LPD decreased (445.11 to 8.35 h) as storage temperature and NaCl concentration increased. The effect of combinations of NaCl and low-$NaNO_2$ on L. monocytogenes growth was not observed at $4^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$, but it was observed at $15^{\circ}C$, regardless of atmospheric conditions. Conclusion: These results indicate that low concentrations of $NaNO_2$ and NaCl in emulsion-type sausage may not be sufficient to prevent L. monocytogenes growth, regardless of whether they are vacuum-packaged and stored at low temperatures. Therefore, additional techniques are necessary for L. monocytogenes control in the product.

The effect of Pleurotus eryngii and meat particle size on properties of sausage quality was investigated. Pleurotus eryngii and meat were processed and combined in the following three ways: T1 (minced Pleurotus eryngii+emulsified meat), T2 (chopped Pleurotus eryngii+emulsified meat) and T3 (chopped Pleurotus eryngii+chopped meat). The pH values of sausages showed T1 to be significantly higher (p<0.05) than T2 and T3. The shear force values showed no significant difference between treatments. T2 and T3 had significantly higher hardness values (p<0.05) than T1. With regard to color, the lightness and whiteness of sausage were significantly higher (p<0.05) for T1 and T2 than for T3. No significant differences between treatments were found regarding redness and yellowness. Panels rated T2 and T3 significantly higher (p<0.05) for aroma and flavor than T1. T2 was rated significantly juicier (p<0.05) than T1, T2 and T3 were rated significantly higher (p<0.05) for overall acceptability than T1.

To elucidate the effect of egg white lysozyme from Ogol fowl on the preservation of milks, fishcurd and sausage, changes of pH, volatile base nitrogen content and viable cell count were investigated during the storage periods at $20^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$ after the addition of lysozyme in each foods. Volatile base nitrogen count of raw milk as marker of spoilage was lowest(63 mg%) in 0.05% lysozyme addition lot which was stored at $20^{\circ}C$ for 2 days, and its preservation effect by lysozyme at $30^{\circ}C$ was enhanced with addition of glycine(0.1%). Preservation effect by lysozyme in commercial milk at $37^{\circ}C$ and in fishcurd at $5^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ were also good, and when sausage was stored at $5^{\circ}C$ after treatment of lysozyme instead of sorbic acid, its preservation effect was acceptable.

Various amounts of buckwheat powder (0%, 1%, 2%, and 3%) were added to emulsion-type pork sausages. The effects of buckwheat powder on the physicochemical characteristics of the emulsion type sausages, including proximate composition, cooking yield, viscosity, pH, instrumental color, texture profile analysis (TPA), and sensory evaluation, were determined. Increased levels of added buckwheat powder led to higher moisture (p<0.05), ash content (p<0.05 or >0.05), and cooking yield (p<0.05). However, the protein and fat contents of the sausage samples were lower (p<0.05) with higher levels of added buckwheat powder. The instrumental color and pH values were affected by the addition of buckwheat powder, which has a pH of 6.1 and associated color coordinates of $L^*=75.0$, $a^*=1.3$, and $b^*=8.7$. Meat batter with 3% buckwheat powder was shown the highest (p<0.05) viscosity indicating great formation of emulsion. There were no significant differences in the TPA among the treated samples. The viscosity value increased with increasing cooking yield in the batter ($r^2=0.7283$) i.e. the correlation coefficient between the two measurements was very high and positive. For sensory traits except for tenderness, the highest scores (p<0.05) was detected on sausages with 3% added buckwheat powder by a panel. These results suggest that the addition of 3% buckwheat powder to emulsion-type sausages produces a more beneficial meat product, with a lower fat content, greater formation of emulsion and no adverse effects on sensory properties.

This study investigates the effect of bovine heart surimi-like material (BHSM) used as a back fat replacer, on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of frankfurter-type sausages. Frankfurter-type sausage with added BHSM had a higher moisture content and lower fat content than the control. In addition, the samples with added BHSM had higher pH, cooking loss and 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) value and lower water exudation than the control. The sausage formulation with 40% BHSM was more effective in delaying lipid oxidation without affecting cooking loss compared to the 60% BHSM treatment sample. Results showed that hardness values increased upon replacement with BHSM, and sausages manufactured with 40% BHSM had higher lightness and lower redness values. Panelists found there were no differences in color, odor, and tenderness scores and the overall acceptability score found that treatment samples containing 20% and 40% BHSM were preferable to the control after storage for 14 d. These results indicate that fat replacement with BHSM was beneficial to the quality of frankfurter-type sausages, and acceptable reduced-fat products can be produced when back fat is replaced with up to 40% BHSM.

The effects of adding goldenrod leaf (GL) and stem powder (GS) (1 and 2%) to sausage meat were evaluated for quality characteristics. The compositional properties, pH, cooking yield, instrumental color, emulsion stability, viscosity, texture, and sensory properties were investigated. Adding GL and GS increased the moisture and ash concentration in sausages. Furthermore, increasing the amount of added GL and GS helped to develop (p<0.05) cooking yield, emulsion stability, and viscosity in the meat batters. Sausages with 2% GL and GS had significantly higher springiness and hardness than those of the control. No significant differences in cohesiveness were observed among the treatments. CIE L*and CIE a*values were highest (p<0.05) in the control sausage. Treatment with 2% GL resulted in the highest CIE b* values (p<0.05) in batter and sausages. No significant difference was observed between the control and other treatments for the overall acceptability. Overall, this study indicated that GL and GS could be used as dietary fiber in sausages to improve quality characteristics.

Sausages were prepared with fresh chicken breast meat and pork back fat, and formulated with different amounts of added chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) peel and ice water to study the effect on the products. The chicken emulsion sausages formulated with 1%, 2%, and 3% added chestnut peel powder were higher in moisture and ash content, and lower in energy values. The cooking loss, emulsion stability, and viscosity of the sausages were improved by the addition of chestnut peel. The fat content, pH, lightness, hardness, and springiness of the chicken emulsion sausage decreased as the amount of chestnut peel levels increased. The chicken emulsion sausages containing 1% and 3% chestnut peel had a higher overall acceptability than the control.

The experiment was performed in order to investigate the applicability of the rapid detection of salmonellae in various animal-origin foods by means of the direct fluorescent antibody technique. Egg, sausage and chicken were inoculated with various concentrations of Sal.paratuphi A, Sal. paratyhi B and Sal. thompson, and the fluorescent antibody technique was applied and compared with the conventional cultura method for the sensitivity of detection of the organisms. Two methods were employed in the fluorescent antibody technique; the direct smear method in which the smear being made directly from the specimens, and the enrichment smear method in which the smear being made from the enrichment broth. The effect of various enrichment time (1,5,8,11 and 13 hours) in tetrathionate broth on the detection of salmonellae in the fluoresent antibody technique was also studied. The results obtained were summarized as followings; 1. Of the three methods, the enrichment smear method of fluorescedt antibody technique was highly effective as cultural method for the detection of salmonella organisms. 2. Direct smear method of fluorescent antibody technique was effective as two other methods $5{\times}10^4$ organisms presented in 50 g(ml) of specimens. This method may not be applicable when the specimens contained $5{\times}10^2$ or less organisms. 3. Of the three specimens, the recovery rate of Salmonella organisms from egg was slightly higher than that of sausage and chicken. 4. In fluorescent antibody technique and cultural method, the specimens inoculated with Sal. thompson were found to be higher detection rate than the specimens inoculated with Sal. paratyphi A, 5. The optimum enrichment time of Salmonella organisms in tetrathionate broth on the detection by fluorscent antibody technique was found to be 11 hours or longer when the specimens of egg, sausage and chicken were inoculated with approximately 500 organisms. The longer enrichment time was the higher detection rate up to 11 hours tested.

The effects of thyme and rosemary on the quality characteristics of sausages during cold storage were investigated. Sausages were prepared with thyme and rosemary powder (1 and 2%) and stored for 6 weeks at 10℃. The pH was significantly decreased in sausages by addition of thyme and rosemary compared to that observed in the control before and after storage. At 4 weeks of storage, the residual nitrite content was decreased by thyme and rosemary compared to the control. Lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) were increased during storage, whereas redness (a*) and whiteness (W) were decreased before and after storage by addition of thyme and rosemary. The amount of TPC and lactic acid bacteria was lower at the end of storage in sausage containing thyme and rosemary. The 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity of sausages was increased by addition of thyme and rosemary compared to that in the control before and after storage. In particular, T2 (0.2% thyme addition) showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging capacity during storage. In a sensory evaluation, flavor and overall acceptability were lower in sausages containing thyme and rosemary than in the control. However, at the end of storage (6 wk), aroma, flavor and overall acceptability were not significantly different among the sausage samples.
