Beef fat was replaced with cold press pumpkin seed oil (PSO; 0%, 5%, 15%, and 20%) in the production of bologna-type sausages. A value of pH, water-holding capacity (WHC), jelly-fat separation, emulsion stability and viscosity values were determined in meat batters. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), color, and textural characteristics (TPA, shear test, penetration test) were determined in end-product at 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of storage at 4℃. The pH values were varied between 6.06 and 6.08. With the increase in the level of PSO in meat batters, there was a significant increase in WHC, jelly-fat separation and viscosity values (p<0.05) while a significant decrease in emulsion stability (p<0.05). TBARS values of sausages were found to be significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05), and this trend continued during storage. Increasing of PSO level were caused a significant increase in L* and b* values while a decrease in a* value (p<0.05). Hardness, adhesiveness and chewiness values were significantly reduced whereas cohesiveness and resilience values increased (p<0.05). Maximum shear force and work of shear was significantly decreased as the level of PSO increased (p<0.05). Hardness, work of penetration and the resistance during the withdrawal of the probe values (penetration tests) increased significantly with the increase in the level of PSO (p<0.05). These results indicate that PSO has potential to be use as a replacement of animal-based fats in the production of bologna-type sausages.

This study was conducted to investigate whether dietary factors, normal fat and genistein leads to beneficial improvement of lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in adult hyperlipidemic male rats. Seven wk-old male SD rats were fed high fat diet (15% fat, 1% cholesterol) for 4 wks for induction of hyperlipidemic model rat. Weight-matched rats were then assigned to four groups according to dietary fat level (7% or 15% fat) and genistein contents (0 or 320 mg/kg diet). Food intake was significantly decreased by both high fat intake and genistein supplementation compared with normal fat intake and genistein no supplementaion. But weight gain was significantly decreased by genistein supplementation in normal fat intake compared with the other groups. Total lipid, total cholesterol and triglyceride in serum and liver were significantly decreased by normal fat intake compared with high fat intake. But total cholesterol in liver was significantly increased by genistein supplementation in both high fat and normal fat intake. TBARS in serum and liver was less produced by normal fat intake compared with high fat intake but TBARS in liver was significantly increased by genistein supplementation compared with genistein no supplementation in normal fat intake. Glutathione reductase activity in erythrocytes was significantly reduced by genistein supplementation in normal fat intake compared with the other groups. Glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities in liver were significantly inhibited by normal fat intake compared with high fat intake. Catalase activity in liver was significantly increased by genistein supplementation compared with genistein no supplementation in high fat intake. Nitrite was significantly decreased by normal fat intake compared with high fat intake. These results suggest that normal fat intake has the treatment effect against risk factors related with cardiovascular disease by reducing lipid profiles, lipid peroxidation. And genistein shows action as a antioxidant replacing antioxidant enzymes but also may act as prooxidant causing the production of TBARS.

Objective: In this study, the effects of vacuum (VP) and high-oxygen modified atmosphere ($80%\;O_2+20%\;CO_2$) packaging (HiOx-MAP) on physico-chemical and microbiological properties of minced water buffalo meat were investigated. Methods: After minced meat preparation, samples were packaged under VP and HiOx-MAP and stored at $2^{\circ}C{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ for 14 days. Samples taken on certain days were subjected to total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, total aerobic psychrotrophic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, Pseudomonas, Enterobacteriaceae and yeast-mold counts as well as pH, color ($L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) analyses. Results: In minced water buffalo meat packaged under HiOx-MAP, TBARS value exceeded 1 mg malondialdehyde/kg on the 4th day of the storage. In VP samples, TBARS value remained close to initial TBARS value during storage. According to the findings, $a^*$ value was determined to be high in the HiOx-MAP samples within initial days of the storage. However, no significant changes in $a^*$ value were observed in VP samples during storage. In contrast, the mean value of $L^*$ was detected as higher in HiOx-MAP sample than VP samples. The count of psychrotrophic bacteria increased more than that of mesophilic bacteria during storage. The growth of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas was delayed in both the packaging methods. However, lactic acid bacteria exhibited more growth in VP samples compared to MAP samples. Conclusion: The lipid oxidation proceeded faster than expected in minced water buffalo meat packed with HiOx-MAP method. This situation adversely affected the $a^*$ value. On the other hand, similar microbiological results were obtained in both packing methods.

The rhizoma of Polygonatum odoratum (Liliaceae) promotes the production of body fluid and relives dryness symptoms and has hypoglycemic effect. In order to evaluate the prevention of lipid peroxidative efficacy of P. odoratum, its extracts (Et$_2$O and MeOH ex.) and its fractions ($H_2O$, 20％ MeOH, 40％ MeOH, 60％ MeOH and 100％ MeOH fr.) were measured by TBARS assay on rat liver S9 and human erythrocyte ghost membrane. The order of anti-lipid peroxidative effect was as follows: Et$_2$O ex. ＞40％ MeOH fr. ＞60％ MeOH fr.＞100％ MeOH fr. Based on these results, we conclude that membrane lipid peroxidation is inhibited in vitro by addition of P. odoratum ether extract and its gradient MeOH fractions excepts $H_2O$ fr., and which have significant hepatoprotective activity in $CCl_4$-treated rats.

Quality characteristics of sausage added with green tea powder was studied to investigate the substitutive effect of green tea for nitrite. Residual nitrite, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) and volatile basic nitrogen(VBN) contents of 9 different sausages prepared with 3 levels of nitrite(50, 100 or 150 ppm) and 3 levels of green tea(0, 0.5 or 1％) were measured during storage at l0$^{\circ}C$ for 6 weeks or 20$^{\circ}C$ for 14 days. Proximate compositions of the sausage were not affected by the addition level of green tea or nitrite. The lightness(L value) and redness(a value) of sausage decreased, while yellowness(b value) increased, with the addition of green tea powder. Residual nitrite content was lower in sausages containing green tea when prepared with same amount of nitrite, showing the addition of green tea powder has a beneficial effect on reducing the residual nitrite content in sausage. TBARS and VBN contents were lower in sausages with nitrite and green tea than those with nitrite alone. The TBARS and VBN lowering effects of green tea were higher in sausages prepared with low level of nitrite than those prepared with high amount of nitrite. The results suggest that the addition of green tea powder may reduce the residual nitrite content of sausage, and the use of green tea may also cut down the use of nitrite in the production of pork sausage with little deterioration in preservation.

The effects of dietary vitamin E supplementation (control; 200 IU/head/day, 500 IU/head/day and 1,000 IU/head/day) on color stability, lipid oxidation and total reducing ability in M. longissimus and M. semimembranosus from Hanwoo (Korean cattle) steer during retail display ($3{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, 1,200 lux) were investigated. The $L^{*}$, $a^{*}$, $b^{*}$, $C^{*}$, R630-R580 values and TRA (total reducing ability) of 1,000 IU group were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of the other groups. The $a^{*}$, $C^{*}$, R630-R580 and TBARS values were significantly (p<0.05) higher in M. longissimus than in M. semimembranosus. The $a^{*}$, $C^{*}$, R630-R580 values and TRA for two beef muscles declined gradually during storage and the decline was more rapid in control and 500 IU groups. Hue angle and metmyoglobin (%) for two beef muscles increased (p<0.05) as display time increased, and 1,000 IU group had a lower rate of metmyoglobin accumulation during retail display. The TBARS values for two beef muscle were significantly (p<0.05) lower in 1,000 IU group than in the other groups over time. Consequently, the meat from 1,000 IU vitamin E-supplemented Hanwoo steer extended retail display life compared to the control and 500 IU/head/day.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of different nitrate levels (150, 300, 450, and 600 ppm $KNO_3$) on the volatile compounds and some other properties of pastırma. Methods: Pastırma samples were produced under the controlled condition and analyses of volatile compounds, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) as an indicator of lipid oxidation, non-protein nitrogenous matter content as an indicator of proteolysis, color and residual nitrite were carried out on the final product. The profile of volatile compounds of pastırma samples was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using a solid phase microextraction. Results: Nitrate level had a significant effect on pH value (p<0.05) and a very significant effect on TBARS value (p<0.01). No significant differences were determined in terms of $a_w$ value, non-protein nitrogenous substance content, color and residual nitrite between pastırma groups produced by using different nitrate levels. Nitrate level had a significant (p<0.05) or a very significant (p<0.01) effect on some volatile compounds. It was determined that the amounts and counts of volatile compounds were lower in the 450 and especially 600 ppm nitrate levels than 150 and 300 ppm nitrate levels (p<0.05). While the use of 600 ppm nitrate did not cause an increase in residual nitrite levels, the use of 150 ppm nitrate did not negatively affect the color of pastırma. However, the levels of volatile compounds decreased with an increasing level of nitrate. Conclusion: The use of 600 ppm nitrate is not a risk in terms of residual nitrite in pastırma produced under controlled condition, however, this level is not suitable due to decrease in the amount of volatile compounds.

Food irradiation has been steadily increased in many countries concomitantly with increasing international trades. Harmful contaminants naturally occurred from foods which contain high levels of unsaturated fatty acids that are easily oxidized can affect the human anti-oxidation system through the generation of free radicals. Moreover, previous studies proved that ${\gamma}$-irradiation may cause production of free radicals in food. We investigated the effect of ${\gamma}$-irradiated soybeans in relation to oxidative stress in mice. Oxidative index of mice was evaluated by TBARS, DNA fragmentation in various organs such as blood lymphocytes, liver and kidney. Forty male ICR mice were equally divided into 4 groups and fed control diet or ${\gamma}$-irradiated diet containing 50% soybeans (5, 10, and 20 kGy, respectively) for 8 weeks. Peroxide values of the irradiated diets were higher than that of the non-irradiated one and increased according to the storage period. There was no significant difference in weight gain as well as in TBARS value in plasma and kidney of all groups. Liver TBARS value of the group fed with irradiated diet at 20 kGy increased significantly compared with the control group (p < 0.05). DNA oxidative damage as measured by alkaline comet assay showed that % tail DNA in the blood lymphocytes of 5 kGy and 10 kGy groups increased significantly over the control group (p < 0.05). Also, tail moments of 5 kGy and 10 kGy groups were higher than that of the control group. Ultrastructural examination shows myeline figures and swollen mitochondria in parietal and intestinal epithelial cells of the group fed with irradiated diet. Therefore, considering unsaturated fatty acid content, consumption of soybeans ${\gamma}$-irradiated with over 20 kGy or repeatedly may decrease the body's antioxidant mechanism.

The microbiological and physicochemical properties of irradiated (2 kGy) or non-irradiated fermented meats processed with or without a commercial starter culture were evaluated during fermentation and aging. The pH of irradiated (2 kGy) fermented meats with starter cultures dramatically decreased during fermentation and aging (p<0.05), and the final pH was 4.25. The total aerobic counts and lactic acid bacteria counts reflected the addition of the starter culture. As the fermentation progressed, the total aerobic counts closely paralleled the lactic acid bacteria counts. The TBARS values of irradiated fermented meats increased regardless of the treatment during fermentation and aging. These results show that the irradiated(electron-beam) meat/fat resulted in the reduction of the total microbes and survives lactic acid bacteria. The use of starter cultures in meat batters post-irradiation may be useful for the production of fermented meats.
