The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) application on meat quality traits, sensory parameters, and the microstructure of semitendinosus muscle from Hanwoo cattle. The samples were treated in an ultrasonic bath (35 kHz) at an intensity of 800 W/cm² for 60 min, followed by aging at 1℃ for 0, 3, and 7 days. The application of ultrasound resulted in lower Warner-Bratzler shear force and higher myofibrillar fragmentation index values during the storage period. HIU also enhanced the tenderness, flavor, umami, and overall acceptability of cooked beef muscle. However, the electronic tongue evaluation results showed higher umami values in the control treatment on the seventh day of storage. The microstructure of sonicated meat showed disorganized myofibrillar architecture and swelling in the A-band region of sarcomeres during the storage period, which led to greater meat tenderness. The heatmap illustrated the high abundance of α-linolenic acid (C20:5n3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (C18:3n3) in sonicated meat samples on the third day of the storage. These results showed that HIU is a potential method for tenderizing and improving the sensory attributes of beef without compromising other quality aspects.

This study aimed to identify the optimum level of supplementary feeds on the carcass traits and meat quality of Jamuna basin lambs. Forty selected lambs were divided into four treatments such as T₀ (no concentrate supplementation), T₁ (1% concentrate feed), T₂ (1.5% concentrate feed) and T₃ (2% concentrate feed) having ten lambs per treatment. The data were analyzed through Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with SAS software. Hot carcass, dressing percentage, head, leg, neck, loin, heart, and spleen weight were showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher values with increasing concentrate feed. The crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE) and ash values were significantly increased (p < 0.001) except T₂ treatment. The ultimate pH was significantly increased except T₂ and cooked pH was significantly decreased (p < 0.001) except T₃ treatment. Drip loss and cooking loss (CL) % had significantly reduced (p < 0.001) except T₃ treatment. The water holding capacity (WHC) % was significantly increased (p < 0.001) except T₃ treatment. The score of color, juiciness and tenderness were significantly different (p < 0.001). Flavor and overall acceptability score were significantly increased (p < 0.05) in different treatments. The color values L^* and b^* had significantly changed (p < 0.001) and a^* value was found significantly higher (p < 0.05) in all treatments. Hence, 12 months of aged lambs with 1.5% concentrate feed showed better performances on carcass, nutritional, physicochemical, sensory and instrumental color values to increase the carcass and the meat quality of lambs.

In order to develop a new type of natural seasoning material combining fish meat with seaweed, a processing method of the mixture of enzyme treated mackerel meat and Laminaria powder was studied. Mackerel meat previously boiled and deboned was treated with proteolytic enzyme to enhance taste of meat by proper hydrolysis. The enzyme-treated meat was dried at $100{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs, and finally mixed with kelp power, moistened in advance, plus binding agents (0.02% calcium carbonate) to aid the formation of pellets by extrusion. Boiled mackerel meat of enzyme treated (0.03% Protease-A) at $50^{\circ}C$ for 90 min was adequate to result an increase in 6 times of total free amino acid content and about 10% increase of taste-enhancing amino acids such as glutamic acid, glycine, arginine, lysine.

Effects of feeding browses on growth and meat quality of Korean native goats were investigated. Twenty eight heads of male goats were divided into four treatment groups fed diets containing oak browse, pine browse, fermented pine browse, and rice straw. Growth rate, feed intake, carcass and meat quality and blood and serum criteria were investigated. The highest average daily gain of goats was 45.3g from oak browse, and goats on pine browse gained similar to those on fermented pine browse. Daily forage intake was 197g DM for oak browse and 74g DM for fermented pine browse. Feed efficiency(g feed/g gain) of oak browse was 11.0g and that of pine browse was 15.1g. From the results of serological inspection, metabolism in body was normal with all the browses tested. Dressing percentage was 45.1~46.2% and meat percentage was 55.2~55.9% without significant differences between diets. Fat percentage of goat carcasses fed rice straw was higher than those fed pine browse or fermented pine browse which was, however, not significantly different from those on oak browse. Shear force and coking loss of goat meat on pine browse or fermented pine browse was less than those on rice straw(p〈0.05) without significant differences between other browses. Juiciness, tenderness, and flavor of the goat meat were the better(p<0.05) from the pine browse diet than from rice straw.

The effect of Pleurotus eryngii and meat particle size on properties of sausage quality was investigated. Pleurotus eryngii and meat were processed and combined in the following three ways: T1 (minced Pleurotus eryngii+emulsified meat), T2 (chopped Pleurotus eryngii+emulsified meat) and T3 (chopped Pleurotus eryngii+chopped meat). The pH values of sausages showed T1 to be significantly higher (p<0.05) than T2 and T3. The shear force values showed no significant difference between treatments. T2 and T3 had significantly higher hardness values (p<0.05) than T1. With regard to color, the lightness and whiteness of sausage were significantly higher (p<0.05) for T1 and T2 than for T3. No significant differences between treatments were found regarding redness and yellowness. Panels rated T2 and T3 significantly higher (p<0.05) for aroma and flavor than T1. T2 was rated significantly juicier (p<0.05) than T1, T2 and T3 were rated significantly higher (p<0.05) for overall acceptability than T1.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of duck and pork meat mixing ratio on quality characteristics of emulsion type sausage at $4^{\circ}C$ during 5 weeks. Treatments on the basis of the meat content were subjected to 100% duck meat (T1), 100% pork meat (T2), 50% duck meat + 50% pork meat (T3), 40% duck meat + 60% pork meat (T4), and 30% duck meat + 70% pork meat (T5). The moisture content was significantly (p<0.05) higher in TI sample but significantly (p<0.05) lower in T2 sample than those in comparison to the other treatments. Crude protein and fat content were significantly (p<0.05) higher in T2 sample compared to the other treatments. CIE $L^*$value was significantly (p<0.05) lower in T1 sample than those of other treatments until 5 weeks of cold storage. CIE $a^*$value was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T1 sample but significantly (p<0.05) lower in T2 sample than those in comparison to the other treatments until 5 weeks of cold storage. Hardness was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T4 sample compared to the other treatments during all cold storage. Cohesiveness was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T5 sample compared to the other treatments until 2 weeks of cold storage. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the meat flavor, taste and texture were significantly (p<0.05) lower in T5 sample compared to the other treatments whereas no difference among treatments except T5 sample. Overall acceptability was significantly (p<0.05) lower in T5 sample compared to the other treatments. Therefore, these results suggested that the ratio of 40% duck meat and 60% pork meat is appropriate levels for hardness and palatability when manufacturing emulsion type sausage with duck meat.

Milk and milk products, especially the cow's milk and cheese, have been used since the ancient time. Because they contains almost all kinds of nutrients that are necessary for human beings except for iron, n-3 fatty acid, and vitamin C. Milk is an excellent dietary source of protein, calcium and phosphorus. The biological value of milk protein is as high as those of red meat and eggs. So cheese, a food processed from concentrated milk protein, is highly recommended food for the patient of diabetes mellitus. Because the major form of milk lipids is n-6 fatty acid, milk and milk products may not be a good food for the patients of cardiovascular disease. But the nutritional quality of milk lipids cannot be inferior to those of margarine, fish oil, and vegetable oil. Milk has been produced commercially since 1936 in Korea. The most popular milk product is a drink milk now in Korea. But according to the change of dietary pattern the consumption of yoghurt and cheese has been enormously increased during the last 20 years. As the soy sauce, tofu, and soy been paste have been the fundamental seasoning and source of protein in Korea, milk and cheese have consisted the essential flavor of western cuisine. But the basic idea for the usage of protein, peptides, and amino acids are the same. We found that milk and milk products can be nicely added in many Korean dishes such as Juk, Mandoo, Jeon, and Bindeatuk for the diversity of traditional flavor.

This study aimed to analyze the use of monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide in processed foods manufactured in Korea. Information about MSG and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide was collected from the ingredients claimed on the food packaging. A total of 412 food items were investigated, and 76 items were found to use MSG, disodium 5'-r ibonucleotide, and/or disodium 5'-inosinate. MSG was the most frequently found in 45 items (10.9%), followed by disodium 5'-ribonucleotide in 27 items (6.6%) and disodium 5'-inosinate in three items (0.7%). Of 29 food categories classified by the Korea Food Code, MSG was used most frequently in others, meat products, seasoned food, fish products, and noodles. In comparison, disodium 5'-ribonucleotide was mostly used in noodles. These results indicate that MSG and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide have been used in various Korean processed foods as a flavor enhancers with an umami taste that intensifies the flavor of food.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Debaryomyces hansenii isolated from dry-aged beef on the tenderness and flavor attributes of low-grade beef during dry aging. Methods: Five D. hansenii strains were isolated from dry-aged beef samples. The rump of low-grade beef was inoculated with individual D. hansenii isolates and subjected to dry aging for 4 weeks at 5℃ and 75% relative humidity. Microbial contamination levels, meat quality attributes, and flavor attributes in the dry-aged beef were measured. Results: Of the five isolates, the shear force of dry-aged beef inoculated with SMFM201812-3 and SMFM201905-5 was lower than that of control samples. Meanwhile, all five isolates increased the total free amino acid, glutamic acid, serine, glycine, alanine, and leucine contents in dry-aged beef. In particular, the total fatty acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acid contents in samples inoculated with D. hansenii SMFM201905-5 were higher than those in control samples. Conclusion: These results indicate that D. hansenii SMFM201905-5 might be used to improve the quality of beef during dry aging.

A vacuum-packed seasoned-dried product of sea mussel, Mytilus edulis, caught in the southern coasts of Korea, was prepared and stored at $35^{\circ}C$ for 70 days to test quality stability. Sea mussel, purchased from Jagalchi fish market in Busan, was steamed, shucked and eliminated byssus. The sea mussel meat was seasoned with the seasoning solution prepared with sugar, salt, sorbitol, glycerol, monosodium glutamate, 5'-ribonucleotide and smoke flavor (Smoke-EZ, Alpha Foods Co., Ltd.). After seasoning, the meat was dried at $52-58^{\circ}C$ for three hours, vacuum-packed in the laminated plastic film bag($14{\times}15cm$), and finally sterilized at $120^{\circ}C$ for 26 minutes in hot water circulating retort. The moisture, water activity, color value(L, a and b value), texture, TBA value and viable bacterial count of the products were determined during the period of storage at $35^{\circ}C$. From the results obtained, it became clear that the product could be preserved in a good quality for 70 days at $35^{\circ}C$, though a slight decrease in moisture content and development of a pale brown color was resulted. Judging from the sensory evaluation on flavor, the products containing smoke flavor were most desirable.
