Effects of Monascus koji on color, peroxide value, textural properties, microbial stability, and sensory characteristics of bologna-type sausage during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 22 days were studied. Addition of 2% Monascus koji resulted in attractive color and distinctly improved color retention. Lipid oxidation was effectively inhibited by lowering the level of peroxide value. Textural properties and microbial stability of the samples were not affected, whereas color was improved by the addition of Monascus koji. Utilization of Monascus koji in meat product could reduce the use of nitrite and inhibit lipid peroxidation during storage.

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on improvement of the quality and safety of meat products. Emulsion type bologna sausages were manufactured with 3 kGy gamma irradiated ground beef. Beef patties were also manufactured with the addition of antioxidants (200 ppm, BHA, ascorbyl palmitate, ${\alpha}-tocopherol,\;or\;{\beta}-carotene$) following gamma irradiation of 1.5 or 3 kGy. Bologna sausages could be successfully manufactured with 3 kGy gamma irradiated ground beef and lower salt content(NaCl of 1.0 or 1.2% and phosphate of 0.2 or 0.3%) without any deteriorative results when compared with the products manufactured with regular salt content(NaCl of 1.5~2.0% and phos phate of 0.4~0.6%). No colony formations of aerobic microorganisms were observed in the sausage with NaCl of 1.2% and phosphate of 0.2 or 0.3% up to 30 days storage at $10^{\circ}C$. No significant differences appeared in the TBA values among all the sausages during storage for 30 days. No colonies of aerobic microorganisms were observed in the 3 kGy irradiated patty. Lipid oxidation of the beef patties was inhibited by the addition of an antioxidant.

The antioxidative capacity of Monascus koji was studied in raw bologna-type sausage by measuring thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and peroxide values (POV) during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The addition of 2% Monascus koji effectively inhibited lipid oxidation in the mixture without vitamin C and NaNO$_2$, evidenced by its prevention of an increase in TBARS and a significantly reduction in increases in POV. Monascus koji in raw minced processed meat significantly improved the shelf life of the food.

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.
