The level of fat and salt can affect the product quality and storage stability of processed meats. Additionally, consumers' demands require dietary guidelines for developing low-fat/salt functional foods. Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase), which enhances textural properties by catalyzing protein-protein cross-linkages, was introduced to develop healthier lowfat/salt meat products. The potential possibilities of low-fat/salt processed meats were reviewed under optimal conditions for functional ingredients from several previous studies. The addition of non-meat protein (e.g. sodium caseinate and soy protein isolates), hydrocolloids (e. g. konjac flour, carrageenan, and alginates), and MTGase alone or in combination with other functional ingredients improved textural and sensory properties similar to those of regularly processed meats. When MTGase was combined with hydrocolloids (konjac flour or sodium alginate) or other functional ingredients, gelling properties of meat protein were improved even at a low salt level. Based on these reviews, functional ingredients combined with new processing technologies could be incorporated into processed meats to improve the functionality of various low-fat/salt meat products.

Dietary fiber naturally present in various sources of cereals, legumes, fruits and vegetables plays a physiological role in human health, such as lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, improving blood glucose control in diabetes, helping with weight loss and management, and reducing cancer risk. In addition, dietary fibers have has been added as a functional food ingredient to food products to provide water-holding capacity, viscosity, gel-forming ability, and fat-binding capacity to food products. These beneficial characteristics of dietary fiber components can improve the image of meat products to be healthy and functional food products. This article reviews the concept and current definition of dietary fibers in food products along with their health benefits and functional characteristics. Dietary fibers from different sources like cereals, legumes, fruits, and vegetables and soluble dietary fibers have been applied as functional ingredients to various types of meat products, such as beef patties, ground beef and pork, pork and chicken sausages, meatballs, and jerky etc. Based on the application of dietary fibers to different types of meat products, possible future characteristics in selecting appropriate dietary fiber ingredients and their proper incorporation are explored to develop and produce healthy and functional meat products with high dietary fiber contents.

Recently, interest in food-derived bioactive peptides as promising ingredients for the prevention and improvement of hypertension is increasing. The purpose of this study was to determine the structure and antihypertensive effect of an antioxidant peptide purified from velvet antler in a previous study and evaluate its potential as a various bioactive peptide. Molecular weight (MW) and amino acid sequences of the purified peptide were determined by quadrupole time-of-flight electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy. The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activity of the purified peptide was assessed by enzyme reaction methods and in silico molecular docking analysis to determine the interaction between the purified peptide and ACE. Also, antihypertensive effect of the purified peptide in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) was investigated. The purified antioxidant peptide was identified to be a pentapeptide Asp-Asn-Arg-Tyr-Tyr with a MW of 730.31 Da. This pentapeptide showed potent inhibition activity against ACE (IC₅₀ value, 3.72 μM). Molecular docking studies revealed a good and stable binding affinity between purified peptide and ACE and indicated that the purified peptide could interact with HOH2570, ARG522, ARG124, GLU143, HIS387, TRP357, and GLU403 residues of ACE. Furthermore, oral administration of the pentapeptide significantly reduced blood pressure in SHRs. The pentapeptide derived from enzymatic hydrolysate of velvet antler is an excellent ACE inhibitor. It might be effectively applied as an animal-based functional food ingredient.

Consumer demand for products with health benefits and natural ingredients is significant for the expansion of functional foods. Edible films and coatings are an excellent way to diversify the market for functional foods and as substitutes for the prevailing packaging and products. Incorporation of whey protein (WP) and its active ingredients into edible films and coatings is a promising technique that can be applied to various food products. Numerous combinations can be used on an industrial scale depending on the purpose, product, nature of the film, type of active ingredient, and type of inclusions. In this review, we describe several characteristics of edible WP films and coatings used as novel packaging materials. WP-based packaging can play a beneficial role in sustainability because of the option of recycling materials rather than incinerating, as in synthetic laminates, because of the use of natural byproducts from the food industry as raw materials. However, cost-effectiveness is a driving force against industrial setbacks in current and future WP processing developments. The industrial application of this new technology depends on further scientific research aimed at identifying the mechanism of film formation to improve the performance of both the process and product. Furthermore, research such as consumer studies and long-term toxicity assessments are required to obtain significant market shares.

Various commercial collagen mixtures aimed at improving the quality of meat products are available, but the optimal composition is unclear. This study aimed to compare the functional properties, including physicochemical characteristics and lipid oxidative stability, of loin ham marinated with three commercial collagen mixtures sold as food additives. The addition of collagen mixtures led to significant increases in the moisture content, water holding capacity (WHC), cooking yield, and instrumental tenderness, regardless of the type of collagen mixture. In particular, meat samples containing collagen mixture C showed the highest (p<0.05) WHC and tenderness among all groups. Furthermore, collagen mixture B induced increases (p<0.05) in pH values in both raw and cooked samples. The $a^*$ values of samples with collagen mixtures were lower (p<0.05) than those of samples without collagen mixtures. All collagen mixtures effectively improved oxidative stability during 7 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The samples containing collagen mixture B had the lowest lipid oxidation (p<0.05) among groups. These results indicated that collagen mixture C could be used in injection brine to enhance the quality characteristics of meat products, particularly the WHC and tenderness. Collagen mixture A could be used for meat products with high fat contents based on its ability to improve lipid oxidative stability during long-term storage.

현재 한국에서 소비되는 치즈는 수입 의존도가 높은 편이며, Mozzarella 치즈의 경우 10% 미만이 한국에서 제조되나, 가격 경쟁력에서 수입제품에 비해 크게 불리한 입장이다. 무엇보다 높은 원유가격과 Mozzarella 치즈의 급격한 소비 증가는 적당한 공급가를 일정하게 공급하기에 많은 어려움이 있는 실정이다 따라서 대두단백을 이용한 Mozzarella cheese analogue 제품 제조가 요구되어 다양하게 생산 및 제조되고 있다. 대두단백은 유제품성분의 한정적인 공급과 caseinate의 높은 가격 때문에 Mozzarealla cheese analogue 제조에 많이 사용되고 있다. Casein-based Mozzarella cheese analogue보다 soy-based Mozzarella cheese analogue가 오랜 기간 동안의 안정성과 실질적인 가격우위는 높은 경쟁 잠재력이 있다. 또한 Mozzarella cheese analogue는 저수분 Mozzarealla 치즈처럼 풍미의 문제점은 없지만, 몸체가 용해될 때 신축이 잘 되지 않고, 과도한 caseinate, 대두단백 특유의 콩비린내(beany flavor), 이상한 풍미, 갈변화 등의 문제 등이 존재하는 것이 사실이지만, 대두를 이용한 다양한 cheese analogue는 기존의 자연치즈에 비하여 가격이 저렴할 뿐만 아니라, 소비자의 다양한 수요 요구를 충족할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 더 나아가서 콩의 부가가치 향상과 국민영양 개선의 측면에서도 효과가 많은 것으로 사료된다. 무엇보다 cheese analogue의 제조는 수입 억제 효과와 수출 증진 효과에도 크게 기여할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 cheese analogue 제조에 많은 관심과 지속적인 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.

Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is a lipid carrier in mammals including humans that consists mainly of polar lipids, like phospholipids and glycolipids. In this study, a process to enrich polar lipids in commercial butter and whey powder, including polar lipids of MFGM, was developed. WPC (whey protein concentrate) 60 was selected as the most suitable raw material based on the yield, phospholipid, protein, and lactose content of the polar lipid fraction obtained by ethanol extraction of two WPC (WPC60 and WPC70) and two buttermilk (A and B). After fractionation under optimum conditions, the polar-lipid enriched fraction from WPC60 contained 38.56% phospholipids. The content of glycolipids, cerebroside, lactosylceramide, ganglioside GM3, ganglioside GD3, was 0.97%, 0.55%, 0.09%, and 0.14%, respectively. Rancimat results showed that the oxidation stability of fish oil increased with an increase in the polar-lipid fraction by more than 30 times. In addition, the secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α decreased in a concentration-dependent manner after treatment of RAW 264.7 cells with 0.1 to 100 ppm of the polar lipid fraction. In this study, polar lipid concentrates with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, were prepared from milk processing by-products. The MFGM polar lipid concentrates made from by-products are not only additives for infants, but are also likely to be used as antioxidants in cooking oils and as active ingredients for functional foods.

본 연구에서는 미강의 산업적 이용 증대 및 고부가가치 소재개발을 목적으로 항산화 활성을 증가시킬 수 있는 추출 방법을 개발하기 위하여 용매 추출법, 검화 추출법 및 초임계 유체 추출법을 이용하여 제조한 미강 생리활성물질 농축물의 항산화 활성을 비교하였다. 항산화 활성은 ABTS 및 DPPH 라디칼 제거능, 환원력, 지질과산화 억제능을 이용하여 측정하였다. ABTS 및 DPPH 라디칼 제거능, 환원력 모두 unsaponifiable matter(USM)가 각각 671.7 mg TEAC/g, 330.7 mg TEAC/g 및 $A_{700}=1.14$로 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 지질과산화 억제능은 USM 및 supercritical fluid extract(SFE)가 각각 68.7% 및 75.4%로 methanol extract(ME)의 47.8%보다 우수한 활성을 나타내었다. 따라서 검화 추출법으로 제조한 USM은 SFE 및 ME보다 상대적으로 우수한 항산화 활성을 가지며 미강을 기능성 소재로 개발하기 위한 추출 방법으로 활용 가능할 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 미강 생리활성물질 농축물은 기능성 증진을 위한 다양한 식품 소재로의 활용 가능성이 있을 것으로 생각된다.
