Tenderization of beef by the addition of barks(Morus alba Linne) and its sensory properties were observed by shearing test, cooking loss, pH, protein content and sensory evaluation. Shear force was decreased as the addition level of barks (Morus alba Linne) increased. Tenderization effect of beef was increased 8,8% at the addition level of 2.5%, 25% at 5.0%, 4.7% at 7.5%, 58% at 10% barks(Morus alba Linne). Cooking loss was observed 44.50% at the no addition, 45.3% at 2.5%, 45.8% at 5.0%, 47.5% at 7.5%, 50.0% at 10% addition level of barks (Morus alba Linne). As the addition level of barks(Morus alba Linne) increased pH of cooked beef decreased to the range of 5.6 to 5.46. As the addition level of barks (Morus alba Linne) increaed protein content of beef decreased whereas protein content of cooled liquor increased. The addition of barks(Morus alba Linne) improved the sensory quality of cooked beef. Especially, tenderness scored the highest value in 10% added beef and other quality factors color, flavor, juiciness and overall quality were evaluated significantly high in 5% added beef. Therefore 5% addition level of barks(Morus alba Linne) for cooking beef was suggested as the desirable level of addition.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbial safety of raw beef used to produce Korean beef jerky, The raw beef samples harbored large populations of microorganisms. In particular, psychrophilic bacteria were found to be most numerous ($9.2{\times}10^3-1.0{\times}10^5\;CFU/g$) in the samples. Mesophilic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria were present in average numbers ($10^3-10^5\;CFU/g$). Spore-forming bacteria and coliforms were not detected below detection limit. Yeast and molds were detected at $2.2{\times}10^1-7.8{\times}10^2\;CFU/g$ in the raw beef. Ten samples of raw beef were analyzed for the presence of pathogenic bacteria. Bacillus cereus was isolated from sample B, G, and H. The B. cereus isolates from raw beef samples were identified with 99.8% agreement according to the API CHB 50 kit.

The purpose of this study was to analyze factors affecting US beef consumption intention in the future, to identify the causes of US beef import growth and to derive implications and strategies for domestic beef producers. Since the KORUS FTA was signed in 2012, US beef imports in 2017 totaled 379,064 tons, an annual increase of 3.5 percent. US beef imports have been steadily increasing due to cuts in FTA tariffs and changes in consumer preferences. The data used in this study utilized a sample of 3,290 grocery purchasers from the Korea Rural Economic Institute's 2016 Food Consumption Behavior Survey. The analytical method used the Ordered Logit Model to analyze what factors influence a consumer's subjective evaluation. As a result, the major factors affecting US beef consumption intention in the future are price, taste and safety. In particular, it has to do with the recent surge in U.S. imports of good-tasting chilled meat. Because chilled meat does not differentiate the market from Hanwoo beef produced in Korea, it is necessary to have differentiated taste and low price through cost reduction. By age and family group, people aged 30 - 40 years and single-person households are the main consumption group. As a result of this study, it is necessary to establish marketing strategies for producers such as rational pricing, safety, taste promotion, and small-scale sales to extend the demand for Hanwoo beef in the younger generation to enhance the competitiveness of the domestic beef market.

Beef contains functional fatty acids such as conjugated linoleic acid and longchain fatty acids. This review summarizes results from studies comparing the fatty acid composition of beef from cattle fed either grass or grain-based feed. Since functional lipid components are contributed through dietary consumption of beef, the fatty acid composition is reported on mg/100 g of meat basis rather than on a percentage of total fat basis. Beef from grass-fed contains lesser total fat than that from grain-fed in all breeds of cattle. Reduced total fat content also influences the fatty acid composition of beef. A 100 g beef meat from grass-fed cattle contained 2,773 mg less total saturated fatty acids (SFA) than that from the same amount of grain-fed. Grass-fed also showed a more favorable SFA lipid profile containing less cholesterol-raising fatty acids (C12:0 to C16:0) but contained a lesser amount of cholesterol-lowering C18:0 than grain-fed beef. In terms of essential fatty acids, grass-fed beef showed greater levels of trans-vaccenic acid and long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA; EPA, DPA, DHA) than grain-fed beef. Grass-fed beef also contains an increased level of total n-3 PUFA which reduced the n-6 to n-3 ratio thus can offer more health benefits than grain-fed. The findings signify that grass-fed beef could exert protective effects against a number of diseases ranging from cancer to cardiovascular disease (CVD) as evidenced by the increased functional omega-3 PUFA and decreased undesirable SFA. Although grain-fed beef showed lesser EPA, DPA, and DHA, consumers should be aware that greater portions of grain-fed beef could also achieve a similar dietary intake of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Noteworthy, grain-fed beef contained higher total monounsaturated fatty acid that have beneficial roles in the amelioration of CVD risks than grass-fed beef. In Hanwoo beef, grain-fed showed higher EPA and DHA than grass-fed beef.

To develope Hanbang beef jerky as health food, six kinds of beef jerky were prepared by adding sugar (A), licorice (B) and three kinds of spice extracts (clove: C, fennel fruit: D and Chungyang green pepper extract: E) and mixture of all extracts (F). The effects of the drying method and added spice extracts on the quality characteristics of the beef jerky were evaluated. In general, the air-blast dried beef jerky contained $31{\sim}33%$ moisture, $50.0{\sim}51.2%$ crude protein, $7.2{\sim}7.8%$ crude lipid and $3.0{\sim}3.3%$ crude ash. For the mineral content of the air-blast dried jerky, the most prevalent mineral was Na $(1540.08{\sim}1838.17$ mg%), followed by K, P, Mg, and Ca. The Ca content of the beef jerky was highest in the mixed extract group (88.53 mg%), and the lowest content was in sugar-added group (53.12 mg%). For the color properties, the L-value (lightness), a-value (redness) and b-value (yellowness) were higher in the air-blast dried beef jerky than in the hot air dried samples. The drying methods showed their greatest affect on the redness (a) for all six jerkies (p<0.001). For the preference by sensory evaluation, the beef jerky samples with added sugar (A) and licorice extract (B) had significantly higher scores than the beef jerky samples with the added spice extracts, for both of air-blast drying and hot air drying (p<0.05). Preference for the air-blast dried beef jerkies with added clove (C) and fennel fruits (D) were significantly higher, in terms of taste, color, softness and aftertaste as compared to the respective hot air dried jerkies (p<0.01). Considering all the obtained results, we concluded that licorice and spice extracts can be used as natural preservatives in the development of health foods and the air-blast drying method is recommended to improve the quality characteristics of beef jerky.

Purpose: This study investigated beef restaurant's selection attributes using conjoint analysis in order to provide useful information to marketers and managers. Methods: A total of 320 questionnaires were distributed to consumers who visited a beef restaurant in August 2016, and 284 were completed (96.90%). Statistical analyses of data were performed using SPSS/Windows 22.0 for descriptive statistics and conjoint analysis. Results: The results of this study demonstrate the relative importance and level of each attribute for selecting beef restaurants. Price showed the greatest importance (34.86%), followed by origin of beef (27.52%), level of support services (25.72%), and variety of side dishes (11.90%). The optimum attribute combination was various side dishes (0.059), Korean beef (0.385), Very high service level (-0.291), and price of 8,000 won (-0.782). The most preferred beef restaurant gained 37.60% potential market share from choice simulation. There were significant differences in importance of attributes related to age of respondents. For respondents in their 20s and older than 50s, the first consideration was price. Respondents in their 30s considered the level of support services first while those in their 40s considered origin of beef first. Importance of attributes based on companion of respondents revealed that all respondents considered price first. Conclusion: This study contributes to development of marketing plans based on a customer's involvement level focusing on their primary selection criteria when choosing a beef restaurant. Additionally, marketers who manage beef restaurants can estimate the market share of imaginary beef restaurants from these results.

Standard recipes of various Korean soups for cook/chill system were developed to provide foodservice managers in kindergarten with more effective management system. Three kinds of soup, Miyuck-gook (Korean sea mustard soup), Soup of beef and radish and Chige of beef and soybean paste (Korean thick soup made of beef and soybean paste) were selected as menu items in this study, and the standard recipes for these soups were developed through sensory evaluation, and microbiological analyses were performed to assure the quality of soup. The microbial counts of the soups which were chilled at 0-3$^{\circ}C$ and stored for 10 days in refrigerator were as follows: Aerobic bacteria were not detected in Miyuck-gook; however, those in Soup of beef and radish were 0.00-1.32${\pm}$0.28 log CFU/g and those in Chige of beef and soybean paste were 3.36${\pm}$0.10- 4.67${\pm}$0.08 log CFU/g. Coliform bacteria were not detected in any soups. All the items of sensory evaluation showed no significant differences between the first and third day of storage, except the flavor, tenderness, chewiness, feeling after swallowing of Soup of Beef and Radish and color of Chige of Beef and Soybean Paste. Overall acceptability scores of chilled stored foods in the first and third day were 6.40:t0.83 and 6.07 :to.46 in Miyuck-gook, 6.93 ${\pm}$0.80 and 6.27${\pm}$1.16 in Soup of beef and radish, and 6.40${\pm}$1.40 and 6.07${\pm}$1.44 in Chige of beef and soybean paste, respectively.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of the fermented beef rib sauce (FBS) on the change of quality characteristics and sensory properties of aged and seasoned beef rib with FBS. The FBS was manufactured by fermentation with Zygosaccharomyces rouxii Y-80 yeast in raw sauce ingredients. The decreasing changes of pH of seasoned beef rib with FBS showed a similar pattern as compared with seasoned beef rib by non-fermented beef rib sauce (NFBS) during aging periods. The cooking loss of the seasoned beef rib with FBS and NFBS exhibited minor changes, respectively. Water holding capacity of the seasoned beef rib with FBS was nearly unchanged, but that of the seasoned beef rib with NFBS increased from 83% to 91% after 5 day aging. Shear forces of the seasoned beef rib with FBS were lower than those of the seasoned beef rib with NFBS. The yellowness and lightness of the seasoned beef rib with FBS decreased as compared with the seasoned beef rib with NFBS, but redness of the seasoned beef rib with FBS was more stable than that of the seasoned beef rib with NFBS. The sensory evaluation indicated that color, aroma and overall acceptability of the seasoned beef rib with FBS were scored relatively higher than those of the seasoned beef rib with NFBS.

This study was designed to investigate the changes in meat quality of beef shank, rib and loin during storage at 8$^{\circ}C$. The shear force value(SFV) of beef shank and loin decreased significantly after 6days storage, beef loin was no significant difference during storage. The SFV in early storage period was high in the order of beef rib, loin and shank, but the SFV of beef rib and loin was similar in course of storage period. The Myofibrillar fragmentation index(MFI) of beef shank increased significantly after 6 days storage, but beef rib and loin early storage was high in the order of beef rib, loin and shank. The actomyosin extractability after 3days storage increased in all parts of beef, but beef loin decreased after 6 days storage. In case of Mg2+-ATPase activity of actomyosin, beef shank increased to 3 days storage, and this reached the level of 0 day after 6days. The MG2+-ATPase activity of beef rib and loin was similar, but beef rib in early storage was higher than beef loin. The Ca2+-TPase activity of beef shank increased to 3 days and decreased after 6 days storage, beef rib was not different during storage and beef loin decreased slightly during storage.

This study investigated the effects of different charcoals on the occurrence of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in grilled beef steaks and beef patties. Seven different charcoals were used as follows: from oak wood (C1), from orange wood (C2), from Valonia oak wood (C3), from Marabu wood (C4), extruded charcoal from beech wood (C5), from coconut shells (C6), and from hazelnut shells (C7). The grilling times for each charcoal type were 6 min for the beef patties and 7 min for the beef steaks, until the internal temperature reached at least 74℃. The total concentration of 16 PAHs (PAH16) in beef steaks grilled with C1 (35.75 ㎍/kg) and C7 (36.39 ㎍/kg) was higher than that of C3 (23.80 ㎍/kg) and C6 (24.48 ㎍/kg; p<0.05). The highest amounts of PAH16 (216.40 ㎍/kg) were determined in the beef patty samples grilled using C5 (p<0.05). The summation of benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene and benzo[a]pyrene, referred to as PAH4, was not detected in any of the beef steaks, whereas it was determined in the beef patties grilled with C2 (7.72 ㎍/kg) and C5 (22.95 ㎍/kg; p<0.05). The PAH16 concentrations of the beef patty samples in each charcoal group were significantly higher compared to the beef steaks (p<0.05). To avoid the formation of high PAH levels, the use of extruded charcoal and hazelnut shell charcoal should therefore be avoided when charcoal grilling beef steaks and beef patties, and low-fat meat products should be preferred.
