In this study, the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of such as enzymatically treated and texture modified elderly foods made with beef, squid, eel, and mackerel were investigated. The enzymatically treated squid sample showed the proper texture hardness level corresponding to Universal Design Food (UDF) level 1 and all other elderly foods showed hardness consistent with UDF Level 2. The moisture contents were higher than 70% in the enzymatically treated boiled down squid and the two texture modified samples made with eel and mackerel, respectively. The enzymatically treated beef and squid samples contained 25.26 and 21.73% of crude protein, respectively. One serving portion of these enzymatically treated samples provided over 50% of daily needed protein intake of 65 years and older. According to the sensory evaluation of the samples, elderly recognized the differences between all enzyme treatment samples and controls in terms of hardness and chewiness, which are the main factors of the elderly food. In addition, the easier swallowness of texture modified foods were perceived. The positive assessment of elderly on the enzymatically treated samples using beef and squid were confirmed by preference tests.

Efficacy of submersion aging in chilled water of vacuum-packed Hanwoo beef was investigated. At 24 hours post-mortem, the somimemebranosus portion of Hanwoo carcass was excised and sliced (2.5cm, thickness). After beef core samples(6$\textrm{cm}^2$${\times}$2cm) were prepared and vacuum packed, the samples were randomly assigned to the four treatments which were conventional refrigerator at 4$^{\circ}C$(control), conventional refrigerator at 1$^{\circ}C$(T1), submersion in chilled water at 4$^{\circ}C$(T2) and submersion in chilled water at 1$^{\circ}C$(T3). Samples were stored for 3, 7, 10 and 14 days to measure meat color(CIE L*, a*, b*), deoxymyoglobin, oxymyoglobin and metmyoglobin percentage, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) value, purge loss(%) and total heam pigment content. CIE a* value of samples was not significantly changed by treatment during the storage. However, metmyoglobin content of T2 samples was significantly (p<0.05) lower than those of control and T1,T3 during storage. Also, TBARS value of T3 samples was significantly (p<0.05) lower than those of control and T2 samples. T3 showed the lowest purge loss%, whereas control remarked the highest purge loss(%). Total heam pigment of all samples were not significantly changed during the storage. These results suggested that submersion aging in chilled water could keep the myoglobin stability and reduce lipid oxidation and purge loss of vacuum packed beef during storage.

This research was conducted to survey amounts of kitchen wastes disposed and to find method for reduction of the kitchen wastes. Questionnaires were developed. Survey was conducted in Korean style restaurants 1,292 in nationwide and recovery rate of questionnaires is 97.52%. Amounts of kitchen wastes disposed were calculated using programme developed in this research institute. As a results, wastes of food disposed in prepreparation phase large quantities is the vegetables. Wastes of fruits, fishes and shellfishes were disposed in large quantities, too. Amounts of wastes of boiled chicken with ginseng, Jeon-Gol, and rosted beef ribs in dishes were much due to refuse portion as bone. Wastes of kitchen are composed of food wastes 44%, dishes wastes 56% in nationwide in Korean style restaurants. Amounts of kitchen wastes disposed in Korean style restaurants are 28.33 kg in large city, 24 kg in small city and rural, respectively. Methods for the effective reduction of kitchen wastes in restaurants were suggested. Also, it is possible to utilize the kitchen waste as fertilizer or feed for animals but economic feasibility could cause problems.

The purpose of this study was to develop protein enriched menu for the aged and running an acceptance test on the protein enriched menu. Four kinds of the menu were developed with emphasis on protein enriched food materials of chicken and beans for menu1, chunggukjang for menu2, pork for menu3, beef and mackerel for menu4. one portion of calorie, polysaccharide, protein and fats for the aged were calculated at 567kcal, 92.8g, 21.3g and 12.6g respectively based on recommended daily allowances for adults. Protein content increased in the menus 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 13.2%, 17.5%, 12.4%, and 13.3%, respectively. In the result of the acceptance test, the cooked rice with black beans and chicken soup of menu1 had significantly the highest acceptance score among the rice and soup groups, respectively (p<0.05). In the side dish, bean curd, cucumber and onion salad in menu1 had relatively higher acceptance scores than the others with significant difference at p<0.05. Overall acceptance of menu 1 had significantly the highest acceptance scores of all. Female showed significantly the higher scores of overall acceptance on menu 2 and 4 than those of male from the t test results of acceptance test.

A study was conducted to develop a management policy of animal waste in Northern Chungbuk province through investigating the status of animal waste management. In management of swine manure, rotary composting including a simple piling method has a portion of $64\%$ using as a liquefied fertilizer $18\%$, purification $9\%$ and ocean dumping $9\%$ respectively. Most of them use the animal waste as a fertilizer to the agricultural land. The exercise ground of dairy farms was bedded with $70\%$ of sawdust and $30\%$ of conventional soil ground besides the stall. They had a storage tank for the waste water from milking parlor. Korean beef cattle farms mostly run sawdust stall, which changed new one in a term of 6$\~$12 months. In case of layer, manure management was conducted in the order of simple piling method, rotary composting and ventilation into the piling mostly. Comparing the amount of excreted animal manure with that of possible spreading, the latter can be spread more than 2.9 times than the former in Northern Chungbuk province. The Northern Chungbuk province is an appropriate place to carry out an environmentally friendly animal production. An utilization model as a liquefied fertilizer should be developed for paddy field, upland field, orchard, and forage field to in-crease the value of animal waste effectively.

Carcass characteristics data of Hanwoo (N = 1,084) were collected from two stations of the National Livestock Institute of Animal Science (NIAS), Korea and records from thirteen individual cow-calf operators were analyzed to estimate variance and covariance components and the effect of different slaughter endpoints. Carcass traits analyzed were cold carcass weight (CWT, kg), REA (rib eye area, cm2), back fat thickness (mm) and marbling score (1-7). Four different models were examined. All models included sex and contemporary group as fixed effects and the animal's direct genetic potential and environment as random effects. The first model fitted a linear covariate of age at slaughter. The second model fitted both linear and quadratic covariates of age at slaughter. The third model fitted a linear covariate of body weight at slaughter. The fourth model fitted both linear covariates of age at slaughter and body weight at slaughter. Variance components were estimated using the REML procedure with Gibb's sampler. Heritability estimate of CWT was in the range of 0.08-0.11 depending on the model applied. Heritability estimates of BF, REA and MS were in the ranges of 0.23-0.28, 0.19-0.26, and 0.44-0.45, respectively. Genetic correlations between CWT and BF, between CWT and REA, and between CWT and MS were in the ranges of -0.33 - -0.14, 0.73-0.84, and -0.01- 0.11, respectively. Genetic correlations between REA and BF, between MS and BF and between REA and MS were in the ranges of -0.82 ~ -0.72, 0.04~0.28 and -0.08 ~ -0.02, respectively. Variance and covariance components estimated varied by model with different slaughter endpoints. Body weight endpoint was more effective for direct selection in favor of yield traits and body weight endpoints affected more of the correlated response to selection for the traits of yield and quality of edible portion of beef.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the sodium contents of representative Korean foods high in sodium and develop them as a fundamental resource for setting the standard amount of sodium in foods. Methods: A total of 480 representative Korean foods high in sodium were collected from households, foodservice establishments, and restaurants in four regions (Capital region, Chungcheong & Gangwon Province, Gyeongsang province, and Jeolla province) and analyzed their sodium content. Results: The sodium content (per 100 g) of food categorized by food group was highest in kimchi and braised food (p < 0.001), and the sodium content of each food was highest in stir-fried anchovies (1,896.6 mg) followed by braised burdock and lotus roots (820.6 mg) and picked onions (809.3 mg) (p < 0.001). However, the sodium content per portion of food was highest in steamed short ribs (1,429.6 mg) from home meals (p < 0.001), Bibimbap, (1,074.1 mg) and steamed short ribs (838.8 mg) from foodservice (p < 0.001), spicy beef soup (3,273.2 mg), and pollack stew (2,930.2 mg) from restaurants (p < 0.001). The sodium content per 100 g and portion of soups and stews from restaurants was significantly higher than that of home meals and foodservice meals (p < 0.001), and the sodium content per portion of steam dishes and stir-fried dishes from home meals was significantly higher than that of foodservice meals (p < 0.05). Conclusions: These results suggest that developing and using low-sodium soybean sauces & soybean paste and kimchi is needed in an effort to reduce sodium intake. In addition, determination of the sodium contents of representative Korean foods known to be high in sodium is expected to be useful in establishing guidelines for reduction of sodium content.

Deep fried instant noodles, biscuits, and cookies were prepared, using the same beef tallow as their fat ingredient. In addition to wheat flour and beef tallow, the common and major ingredients, the deep fried instant noodle contained 1.5% salt before frying, the biscuits 20.0% sucrose and 10.0% nonfat milk solid before baking, and the cookies 20.0% sucrose before baking. The three products and a portion of beef tallow, which was to be used as control, were stored in an incubator at $47.0{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$. The peroxide value and the free fatty acid value of the control and the extracted fat were determined regularly during the storage period. The fat incorporated in the biscuits exhibited far greater stability to rancidity development than that of the control with regard to both peroxide value and free fatty acid value development. However, the fat incorporated in the deep fried instant noodles and the cookies showed much poorer stability than that of the control. Factors like a deep frying process and/or the presence of a significant amount of salt in the deep fried instant noodles appeared to promote the rancidity development of the fat incorporated in the product. On the other hand, Maillard type browning reaction products in the biscuits seemed to retard effectively the rancidity development of the fat incorporated in the product.

This study was carried out to get the informations on microbes and protein extractability through comparing the quality attributes of Hanwoo fed in Korea, Hanwoo fed in Japan and Japanese Wagyu. The fresh beefs were stored at 4±l℃ for 13 days. In microbiological test, the total plate counts were higher in rump than in other beef portion as loin, chuck (p<0.000l). The number of psychrotrobes in the rump were maintained high levels (p>0.0001) for storage period, whereas the loin from Hanwoo fed in Korea, Hanwoo fed in Japan and Wagyu were lowest levels. The number of E. coli were no significantly different among the samples. In lactic acid bacteria, the loin form 3 grade Hanwoo (K3) had highest levels (p<0.0001). Comparing to the protein extractability, water soluble proteins were high in chuck (p<0.001). In the case of loin, water soluble proteins of K3 (3 grade Hanwoo) and Wagyu were high as 3.010 mg/g and 2.977 mg/g, respectively (p<0.001). Salt soluble protein of K1 (1 grade Hanwoo) was high as 7.437 mg/g (p<0.0001).

This paper examines the dining tendencies of Koreans toward meat dishes and their related factors, with 301 people residing in Korea as subjects. We questioned this population on their restaurant choices, eating habits, preferences and a dislike with respect to method of cooking. All age groups, with the exception of 50~60 year-olds, were found to consume meat dishes in specialized restaurants. The selection factor for restaurants varied, depending on the age group: affordable cost was the most important factor for whom under 20 year-old. Whereas 20-40 year-old people considered taste and ambience the most for choosing restaurant. The 50-60 year-old people found to seek for convenient restaurant. In terms of the most preferred parts of beef, 20-30 year-old people preferred tenderloin (42.3%) while 40-60 year-old people preferred sirloin (45.6% and 41.2% each). All the other age groups preferred ribs the most (It was also found that) men preferred the rib parts and women preferred tenderloin. With respect to pork, all age groups preferred pork belly, with the highest response rate in the under 20 age group. When consuming meat dishes, 91.0% of respondents pointed to roasting as the most frequent preparation method, the reason being good taste was deemed the highest number of responses. In a survey on preference for stewed meats, 74.8% of the sample pool was found to prefer stew dishes but 24.9% of respondents provided negative answers, the reason for dislike was found to be poor taste for women, and both a long preparation time and poor taste for men. In fact, regardless of marital status, a high number of responses were given for poor taste as the reason for disliking stew dishes. Based on the examined factors for inconveniences in preparing meat dishes, the most common inconvenience factor was the odor of meat left on clothes after the dining experience, followed by the smoke generated in roasting meat, and the safety risk involved with changing the grill. In terms of stir fry preparation, the negative thoughts were due to the splashing of food and spices while cooking, followed by the meat odor left on clothes after dining experience, and the sanitation level of the cooking containers. For deep frying the sanitation level of cooking containers was the biggest reason for dislike, followed by splashing of food when preparing. Lastly, it was indicated that the problem of steaming method was a difficulty of judging the portion, on the top of this, people found that the sanitation level of cooking container and a long preparation time were also the problem of this cooking method.
