This review addresses the role of fat in beef palatability and healthfulness. Particular emphasis is placed on the content of oleic acid in beef, and how this increases with time when cattle are fed a grain-based diet. Oleic acid decreases the melting point of lipids from beef, increasing the perception of juiciness and improving beef flavor. Clinical trials have demonstrated that ground beef containing elevated oleic acid increases, or at the least has no negative effects on the concentration of HDL cholesterol. The amount of fat in published ground beef intervention trials greatly exceeds the amount of fat in equivalent portions of beef from U.S. domestic or Korean Hanwoo cattle. Thus, we conclude 1) Beef cattle should be raised under production conditions that increase the concentration of oleic acid in their edible tissues (i.e., by grain feeding over extended periods of time); and 2) The amount of fat consumed in a typical portion of beef will not increase risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

To prevent the denaturation of ficin(EC 3.4.22.3) that is a proteolytic enzyme in fig(Ficus carica L.), fig conserve was heated to 55oC. The fig conserve was added as a tenderizer to native Korean cattle beef(KCB), dairy cattle beef(DCB), castrated dairy cattle beef(CDCB), and imported beef(IB). The composition of free amino acids, hydroxyproline content, shear force, cooking loss, morphological changes and sensory evaluation were then investigated to observe the effect of tenderizing beef with fig conserve. Free amino acids and cooking loss of treated beef were higher than those of control, whereas hydroxyproline and shear force were lower. Glutamine in treated beef decreased relatively but asparagine increased. Hydroxyproline was found, in increasing order of abundance, in DCB, CDCB, IB and KCB. By portion, loin was higher than tenderloin in free amino acids, hydroxyproline and shear force but was lower in cooking loss. Observation with a light microgram revealed a surprising loss of muscle fiber in treated beef. In sensory evaluation of uncooked beef, the control was redder than the treated beef(p<0.01~p<0.05). Treatment with fig conserve increased the juiciness of both cooked CDCB and IB(p<0.001) and decreased their hardness(p<0.01~p<0.001).

This study aimed to define a one portion size of food items frequently consumed for convenient use by Koreans in food selection, diet planning, and nutritional evaluation. We analyzed using the original data on 5,436 persons (60.87%) aged 20~64 years among 8,930 persons to whom NHANES 2005 and selected food items consumed by the intake frequency of 30 or higher among the 500 most frequently consumed food items. A total of 374 varieties of food items of regular use were selected. And the portion size of food items was set on the basis of the median (50th percentile) of the portion size for a single intake by a single person was analyzed. In cereals, the portion size of well polished rice was 80 g. In meats, the portion size of Korean beef cattle was 25 g. Among vegetable items, the portion size of Baechukimchi was 40 g. The portion size of the food items of regular use set in this study will be conveniently and effectively used by general consumers in selecting food items for a nutritionally balanced diet. In addition, these will be used as the basic data in setting the serving size in meal planning.

The content of zinc and copper were analyzed and compared for five favorite traditional Korean dishes. The purpose of the research was to substantiate traditional Korean foods, which are good sources of these two minerals, to emphasize the importance of the minerals and to improve nutritional conditions. Foods were collected from institutional food services and Korean restaurants. The result of the analysis of the minerals are listed below. 1. When the survey was done on the preference and the frequency of intake of 106 Korean traditional dishes, the most popular food item was soybean paste stew (doenjangchigae); the second, barbecued beef (pulgogi): the third, cooked rice with assorted vegetables (pibimpap): the fourth, grilled fishes : the fifth, spicy beef vegetable soup (yukkaejang). The frequency of intake of eating these dishes was also very high. 2. The average one serving portion of each of the five dishes from institutional food services and Korean restaurants are as follows. The average one serving size of cooked rice with assorted vegetables of the two systems were 451.2g and 403.0g; spicy beef vegetable soup, 379.3g and 512.3g; soybean paste stew, 292.0g and 278.8g; barbecued beef, 76.1g and 202.5g: grilled croaker(chogi, fish), 47.5g and 36.5g, and grilled spanish mackerel(samchi, fish), 60.0g and 250.0g. The differences of the average one serving portion between the two systems were very significant. 3. The total average zinc content of each of the five dishes from the two different systems were analyzed. The zinc content of cooked rice ith assorted vegetables from institutional food services was 4.3mg and that from Korean restaurants was 2.9mg; spicy beef vegetable soup, 1. 7mg and 3.2mg: sybean pste stew, 1.4mg and 1.6mg: barbecued beef, 1.9mg and 4.3mg; grilled croaker, 0.5mg and 0.4mg; grilled spanish mackerel, 0.8mg and 2.7mg. The difference between the average of total zinc content of two systems were not statistically significant. 4. The average total copper content of each item from the two different systems were compared. The average total copper content of barbecued beef from institutional food services was 692.4$\mu\textrm{g}$ and that from Korean restaurants was 502.5$\mu\textrm{g}$. The value of the institutional food services system was significantly higher(p＜0.05). Spicy beef vegetable soup, 161.1$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 208.3$\mu\textrm{g}$: soybean paste soup, 290.5$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 308.5$\mu\textrm{g}$; barbecued beef, 217.7$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 339.l$\mu\textrm{g}$: grilled croaker, 51.7$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 44.l$\mu\textrm{g}$; grilled spanish mackerel, 92.0$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 265.2$\mu\textrm{g}$. The difference of the two systems was not significant. 5. The zinc contents per 100g each of five traditional Korean dishes were barbecued beef, 2.2mg, grilled spanish mackerel, 1.2mg, grilled croaker, 1.1mg, cooked rice with assorted vegetables, 0.8mg, soybean paste stew, 0.6mg, spicy beef vegetable soup, 0.5mg. The copper contents were; barbecued beef, 203.0$\mu\textrm{g}$, cooked rice with assorted vegetables, 138.7$\mu\textrm{g}$, grilled spanish mackerel, 137.9$\mu\textrm{g}$, grilled croaker, 119.l$\mu\textrm{g}$, soybean paste stew, 105.l$\mu\textrm{g}$, spicy beef vegetable soup, 40.5$\mu\textrm{g}$.

This current survey was conducted to examine consumer attitudes toward factors determining beef purchasing and improving distribution systems. The frequency of beef purchasing was shown to reflect social and economic status, where inhabitants in large cities, such as Seoul, with higher salaries showed a higher frequency. In addition, consumers that were in their forties bought beef more frequently than consumers that were in their twenties. Consumers in Seoul and the megalopolis with a monthly income of higher than 200 million won preferred to purchase meat from department stores and discount markets. In contrast, people in small cities with lower incomes tended to buy meat from butcher shops and brand shops. In a question regarding unsatisfaction factors of retail beef, individuals that were in their thirties with a high income had concerns associated with packaging problems. For people under thirty with low income, the consistency of quality and price were the prime concerns. In regards to the beef grading system, consumer response varied between inhabitants, monthly income and age group, where consumers from small cities that were in their twenties and forties with a low income had a negative viewpoint. For the differential beef distribution system, housewives between the ages of 30 and 40 from a small city with an income higher than 200 million won had a positive response; however, a large number of consumers were not familiar with this system. The most demanding beef cuts were in the following order: loin, flank and rib. In addition, the most important factors determining purchasing beef were as follows: price, breed and portion.

The purpose of this study was to define a one portion size of food frequently consumed by Korean children aged 6-11 for convenient use in food selection, diet planning, nutritional evaluation, and nutrition education. We analyzed using the original data on 889 persons (9.96%) aged 6-11 years among 8,930 persons to whom NHANES 2005 and selected food items consumed by the intake frequency of 10 or higher among the 500 most frequently consumed food items. A total of 172 varieties of food items of regular use were selected. Also the portion size of food items was set on the basis of the median (50 percentile) of the portion size for a single intake by a single person was analyzed. The portion size of cereals was 5 g for prosomillet to 120 g for hamburger. As for vegetables, it posted 1 g for red pepper to 50 g for nabakkimchi. The portion size of meats and products was 15 g for luncheon meat to 120 g for beef feet soup. In comparison of children's portion size with adults', the children's portion sizes of every food groups, with the exception of meats and eggs, were lower than those of adults. The portion size of the regular food items of children in this study will be conveniently and effectively used by children, children's diet planners and researchers in selecting food items for a nutritionally balanced diet and in assessing the children's diet intake.

Chopped garlic was added to beef to determine its effect on the protein digestion during storage and heat treatment. The digestibility of raw beef without garlic was not significantly changed during storage at $4^{\circ}C$, but increased as garlic added and aging time increased. The optimal aging time and amount of garlic added was varied with heating time. Trypsin inhibitor did not change the digestibility of beef due to its thermal inactivation. Gel chromatography revealed that the lower molecular weight peptides(2,200~6,150 dalton) were shown in beef-garlic mixture through aging and heating procedure. When aged beef with garlic was digested with four-enzyme system, the soluble portion was increased significantly in comparison with that from raw beef without garlic. Protein quality of beef, as measured by computed PER(C-PER), was improved from 2.14 of raw beef to 2.50 of aged beef with chopped garlic.

The objective of this study was to standardize recipes for large quantity production for Korean foods such as Yukkaejang (spicy beef and vegetable soup), Sagol-woogeojitang (bone soup with young cabbage), Kalbitang (beef short-ribs soup) and Seolleongtang (beef and bone soup). We examined the ingredients and the amounts in recipes that were used by 3 groups such as foodservice management companies, commercial restaurants and cookbooks. We analyzed cooking methods from 5 foodservice management companies, 3 commercial restaurants and 2 kinds of cookbooks. Each soup that was made by a standardized recipe was evaluated by consumer sensory panels. The total yield volume and portions for 100 persons were determined as well as ingredients, weights and methods. The standardized recipes were as followed; yield volume after cooking was 38-40kg, optimum service temperature was 78-82$^{\circ}C$, preparation time was 4-16 hours for 100 persons, and one portion was 380-400g, and we recorded the weight of foods and methods, as well as reference and garnishes. We expect that the standardized recipes for large quantity production will be necessary for use by cooks as well as by food preparation in foodservice institutions.

A simple and rapid method known as matrix solid phase dispersion(MSPD) for simultaneous determination of 11 pesticide(2,4,5,6-tetrachlor m-xylene, ${\alpha}$-BHC, ${\gamma}$-BHC, ${\delta}$-BHC, aldrin, chlorfulazuron, heptachloroepoxide, dieldrine, endrin, endosulfan sulfate, and tetradifon) in beef fat was estabilished. Beef fat(0.5g) was fortified by adding the 11 pesticides and dibutylchlorendate as internal standard, and blended with 2g bulk $C_{18}$ in pestle and motar. Pesticides were eluted from an extraction column composed of $C_{18}$/ fat matrix blend and 2g activated Florisil by addition of 8ml acetonitrile. Then $2{\mu}l$ portion of the acetonitrile elute was directly analyzed by gaschromatography with electron capture detection. Unfortified blank control were treated similarly. Recovery rate were ranged from $83{\pm}5.4%$ to $94.2{\pm}7.6%$, intra-assay variability and inter-assay variability were ranged from 2.3% to 7.4%(n=5 for each insecticides) and from $6{\pm}1%$ to $12{\pm}3%$(n=10 for each insecticides), respectively. These results indicated that the MSPD methodology is aceptable for the extraction, determination and screening of residues 11 chroniated pesticides in beef fat.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the feeding value, meat nutrients and associative effects of a diet comprised of various corn silages inclusion with peanut vine or wheat straw in finishing beef cattle. Methods: One hundred and eighty Simmental crossbred beef steers were blocked and assigned to the follow treatments: i) whole plant corn silage-based diet (control, WPCS), ii) mixed forages-based diet (replacing a portion of corn silage with wheat straw, WPCSW), iii) corn stalklage-based diet (CS), and iv) sweet corn stalklage-based diet (SCS). Each group consisted of 5 repeated pens with 9 steers/pen. The diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and isoenergetic with same forage to concentrate ratio. Experimental diets were fed for 90 d. Results: The effective ruminal degradability of dry matter and crude protein were highest for WPCS diet (p<0.05), for neutral detergent fiber was highest in SCS diet (p<0.05). The average daily gain was greater for cattle offered the WPCS diet, intermediate with WPCSW and SCS and lowest with CS (p<0.001). The concentration of non-esterified fatty acid in serum was higher for steers fed with CS and SCS diets than those offered WPCS and WPCSW steers (p<0.001). The treatments did not affect the general nutritional contents and amino acids composition of Longissimus dorsi of steers (p>0.05). Conclusion: The corn silage-based diet exhibited the highest feeding value. The sweet corn stalklage and wheat straw as an alternative to corn silage offered to beef cattle had limited influence on feeding value and meat nutrients. However, the value of a corn stalklage-based diet was relatively poor. To sum up, when the high quality forage resources, such as corn silage, are in short supply, or the growth rate of beef cattle decreases in the later finishing period, the sweet stalklage and wheat straw could be used as a cheaper alternative in feedlot cattle diet without sharp reducing economic benefits.
