Antibiotics have long been of great benefit for people, both in the medical treatment of human disease and in animal food where they improve the growth performance and feed utilization during animal production. Antibiotics as in-feed supplements affect all stages of pork production, including the gestation, nursing, growing, and finishing stages, although the effects show stage-dependent differences. However, the use of antibiotics in animal feed has become a worldwide concern. This review describes why sub-therapeutic levels of antibiotic additives in animal feed have become an integral part of animal feeding programs for more than 70 years, particularly in pork production. It also discusses the threat of the long-term use of sub-therapeutic levels of antibiotics in pork production. In recent years, the effectiveness of in-feed antibiotics has tended to decrease. This review analyzes this change from various perspectives. First, the equipment used at pig farms has improved dramatically and is more sanitary. Worldwide, more pig farms use pig farrowing crates, gestation crates, piglet nursery crates, flooring devices, piggery ventilation and cooler systems, automatic pig feeders, piggery heating equipment, and artificial insemination systems. In addition, scientists have replaced the use of antibiotics with organic acids, fermented mash, probiotics, prebiotics, minerals, oligosaccharides, enzymes, herbs/flavors, and protein/amino acids, and have improved management and husbandry techniques. In addition, animal welfare legislation has been aimed at improving the quality of the floors and living space, ensuring that animals have permanent access to fresh water, and setting a minimum weaning age. Finally, the prospects and the possibility of replacing antibiotics in pork production are described, in line with recent research results.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Fruit and vegetable consumption of children in the United States falls below recommendations. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) is a national free-fruit and vegetable school distribution program designed to address this problem. This permanent, legislated program provides funding to qualified elementary schools for provision of additional fruit and vegetables outside of school meals. The objective of this study was to understand children's perceptions of FFVP after the intervention and formulate recommendations that may improve success of the intervention. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Secondary data were obtained from 5,265 $4^{th}-6^{th}$ graders at 51 randomly-selected FFVP intervention schools in Indiana. Anonymous questionnaires were completed late in the 2011-2012 academic year. Multilevel logistic regressions were used to determine associations between students' perceptions of program effects (4 close-ended items) and their preference toward the program. Content analysis was applied to a single open-ended item for program comments. RESULTS: Over 47% of students reported greater intake of fruit and vegetables due to FFVP, and over 66% reported liking the program. Student-reported program effects were positively associated with preference for the program (P < 0.01). Themes that emerged during analysis of 3,811 comments, included, students liked: the opportunity to try different kinds of fruit and vegetables, types and flavors of fruits served, and benefits of eating fruit. Fewer students liked the types of vegetables and their benefits. A small group disliked the program citing poor flavor of vegetables and quality of fruits. Important suggestions for the program include serving more dipping sauces for vegetables, cooking vegetables, and providing a greater variety of produce. CONCLUSIONS: The degree that students liked FFVP may predict the program's effects on fruit and vegetable intake. FFVP may become more acceptable to students by incorporating their suggestions. Program planners should consider these options for achieving program goals.

The growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) generates a high number of metabolites related to aromas and flavors in fermented dairy foods. These microbial proteases are involved in protein hydrolysis that produces necessary peptides for their growth and releases different molecules of interest, like bioactive peptides, during their activity. Each genus in particular has its own proteolytic system to hydrolyze the necessary proteins to meet its requirements. This review aims to highlight the differences between the proteolytic systems of Streptococcus thermophilus and other lactic acid bacteria (Lactococcus and Lactobacillus) since they are microorganisms that are frequently used in combination with other LAB in the elaboration of fermented dairy products. Based on genetic studies and in vitro and in vivo tests, the proteolytic system of Streptococcus thermophilus has been divided into three parts: 1) a serine proteinase linked to the cellular wall that is activated in the absence of glutamine and methionine; 2) the transport of peptides and oligopeptides, which are integrated in both the Dpp system and the Ami system, respectively; according to this, it is worth mentioning that the Ami system is able to transport peptides with up to 23 amino acids while the Opp system of Lactococcus or Lactobacillus transports chains with less than 13 amino acids; and finally, 3) peptide hydrolysis by intracellular peptidases, including a group of three exclusive of S. thermophilus capable of releasing either aromatic amino acids or peptides with aromatic amino acids.

Fish bone-based calcium products are currently receiving much attention among high value-added industries involving calcium. Industrial processing of fish products yields unused fish parts including bones, which could be used as marine health foods to enhance the economic and environmental benefits of fish production. The ultimate goal of this study is to develop the high value-added fisheries products fortified with fish bones supplementing calcium. We here explored the physical and chemical softening methods of the fish bones to enhance texture of the fish products with a high degree of calcium absorption rates. The eluted calcium from the fish bone was quantified with the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The characteristics of the softened fish bones were determined by the laser diffraction particle size analysis, texture profile analysis, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) analysis. As the result, the optimized softening method of fish bone was established when Theragra chalcogramma bone was treated twice with the pressurized high temperature (110-120℃ and 1.0-1.5 kg/cm²). The produced softened fish bone turned out to be suitable for the food additives with low particle sizes, low hardness values, and negligible VOCs responsible for the unpleasant flavors.

파래(Monostrima nitidum) 의 퇴색지연 방안을 모색하고자. 알칼리화제로써 이용 가능한 몇 종의 식품첨가물을 선정하고 이를 생 파래와 함께 9$0^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 blanching 하여 건조 및 분쇄한 후 $25^{\circ}C$의 암소에서 5개월 간 저장하면서 각 시료의 녹색도를 Hunter-lab colorimeter로 측정하고 휘발성 향을 CG-MS로 조사하였다. 저장 중 알칼리를 처리한 파래의 녹색도는 미처리한 시료에 비하여 조금 덜 퇴색되었으며, 특히 KHCO$_3$로 처리한 경우 다소 효과가 있었다. SDE장치(simultaneous distillation-extract apparatus)로 포집한 파래의 휘발성 향에서 31종의 화합물들이 확인되었다. 이들 중 파래의 특징적 향으로 기여하는 주요 화합물 $\beta$-cyclocitral, $\beta$-cyclohomocitral, ionene, $\alpha$-ionone and $\beta$-ionone으로 추정되었으며, 이 화합물들의 함량은 알칼리 처리에 의하여 감소되었지만, KHCO$_3$를 처리할 경우 다소 덜 감소되었다.

Bulgogi (Korean-traditional barbequed beef) is one of the most globally well-known Korean foods. Though various attempts have been made to promote bulgogi, studies are limited understanding mostly to US consumers or foreigners who reside in Korea. China, the world's most populous country, has the biggest market potential in the world. The purpose of this study was to understand reasons of liking or disliking bulgogi products in Chinese consumers who reside in China in comparison to Korean consumers. The bulgogi used in this study differed in its main marinating ingredients. Check-all-thatapply (CATA) questionnaire was used to collect the reasons why one liked or disliked the given bulgogi product. CATA result showed that even for the same product, Korean and Chinese consumers liked or disliked it for different reasons. In particular, unlike Koreans, Chinese consumers reported sweet taste and garlic flavor as reasons for disliking the samples with high amounts of sugar and garlic, respectively. This seemed to be the result of differences in familiarity of consumers to certain tastes and flavors. The results imply the influence of culture in consumer preferences.

As a primary step to develop natural preservative for extending the shelf-life of kimchi, the effect of 102 edible plants, 21 antimicrobial agents and related compounds on kimchi fermentation was studied. Among 42 oriental medicinal plants tested, Baical skullcap and Assam indigo were found to be highly effective for maintaining the fresh state of kimchi. Although Bugbane, Red mangolia, Bushy sophora, Szechuan pepper, Chinese quince and Scisandre significantly inhibit the growth of Lactobacilli, their effect was not high enough to be used as raw materials for kimchi preservative. When the effect of 32 herbs and spices was tested, peppermint, cinnamon, lemon balm, clove, hop, rosemary, sage, horseradish and thyme showed high antimicrobial activity against kimchi microorganisms. Among them, the effect of clove ranked top. When it was added to fresh kimchi, initial cfu value ($2.4{\times}10^{6}cfu/g$) changed little even after 2 day's fermentation ($2.6{\times}10^{6}cfu/g$). Sensory test was not a good criteria to evaluate the effect of herbs and spices, since their highly specific flavors affected the taste of kimchies. Twenty eight fruits, vegetables and related plants were tested, but only leaves of pine tree, persimmon and oak leaves showed a significant bactericidal effect, finally contributing to the storage of kimchi. In addition, when 21 natural preservatives and other compounds were added individually to fresh kimchi, nisin and caffeic acid could inhibit fermentation.

This study was conducted to compare the physicochemical and sensory properties of yogurt containing nanopowdered peanut sprouts (NPPS) and powdered peanut sprouts (PPS) at different concentrations (0.05-0.20%, w/v) during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 16 d. The pH values of NPPS (0.05-0.20%, w/v)-added yogurt were lower than those of PPS-added yogurt. The antiradical scavenging activity and LAB counts were significantly higher in NPPS-added yogurt than in PPS-added yogurt during the storage period of 16 d (p<0.05). Higher concentrations (0.15, and 0.20%) NPPS-added yogurt showed greater antiradical scavenging activity. The LAB counts were ranged from $9.00{\times}10^8$ to $1.10{\times}10^9$ and $1.30{\times}10^9$ to $9.10{\times}10^8$ CFU/mL in 0.05% and 0.20% NPPS-added yogurts, respectively. In sensory testing, 0.05 and 0.10% NPPS-added yogurt showed similar results to the control in whey-off, grainy texture, and overall acceptability. Yellowness and astringent scores increased with increasing addition of NPPS or PPS to the yogurt irrespective of its storage times. Peanut and beany flavors were lower during the storage for 0.05 and 0.10% NPPS-added yogurt. Based on the data obtained from the present study, it was concluded that 0.05 and 0.10%, w/v of NPPS could be used to produce NPPS-added yogurt without significant adverse effects on the physicochemical and sensory properties, but with an enhanced functional value added to the yogurt.

동결이 두류의 cooking time, 맛 그리고 미세구조에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 검정콩과 대두를 충분히 수화시킨 후 동결하여 $100^{\circ}C$의 물에서 가열하였을 때 cooking time은 각각 10분과 20분으로서 동결하지 않은 두류에 비하여 cooking time이 1/2로 단축되었다. 관능시험의 결과 동결한 두류는 동결하지 않은 두류에 비하여 텍스쳐, 향미 및 전체적 선호성이 우수하였다. 또한 회귀분석의 결과로 얻은 관능점사에 의한 텍스쳐와 Instron으로 측정한 puncture force간의 상관관계식을 이용하여 puncture force로써 관능적 텍스쳐를 판정할 수 있었다. 또한 두류의 동결시에 일어나는 미세구조의 변화를 검토한 결과 동결에 의한 세포벽의 손상은 없었으나 cooking 후 단백립을 싸고 있는 지방구의 배열이 파괴됨이 관찰되었다. 따라서 동결은 단백립을 싸고 있는 지방구의 배열을 파괴함으로써 열수가 쉽게 침투되어 cooking을 용이하게 하는 것으로 추정되었다.
