Pre-rigor bovine sternomandibularis muscles were frozen at 3 hr postmortem thawed at various temperatures (18, 2, and $-2^{\circ}C$), and then meat quality and sensory properties were compared with those in chilled muscle (control). The meat thawed at $18^{\circ}C$ had lower ultimate pH, water holding capacity, and sensory scores and higher muscle shortening, thaw drip loss, and shear values than those of the other samples. The samples thawed at $-2^{\circ}C$ had significantly lower muscle shortening and higher sensory scores in tenderness and juiciness than those thawed at 18 and $2^{\circ}C$. Muscle shortening, pH, WHC, shear values, and sensory properties were not significantly different between control and sample thawed at $-2^{\circ}C$. By holding at $-2^{\circ}C$, thaw shortening was prevented and tender meat comparable to the chilled meat was obtained. These results indicate that thaw shortening can be largely eliminated if the frozen pre-rigor muscle is thawed at $-2^{\circ}C$.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of lipid type on the physicochemical properties and sensory score of pork patties. The samples consisted of pork patties containing 20% pork fat (PP), 20% olive oil (OP), and 20% soybean oil (SP). The surface color, water holding capacity, increased rate in thickness, decreased rate in diameter, rheological properties, pH, VBN content and TBARS value were determined for the pork patties as the physicochemical properties: the sensory scores were also evaluated. The $L^*$ value for PP was the highest, and the lowest for OP among the samples (p<0.05). For the $a^*$ value OP was the highest among the samples, and the $b^*$ value of OP was lower than that of the PP (p<0.05). The water holding capacity and increased rate of thickness were higher for PP than for OP and SP (p<0.05). The cooking loss and decreased rate of diameter of PP were lower than those of OP and SP (p<0.05). The hardness and springiness of OP and SP were higher than those of PP, and SP had the highest chewiness among the samples (p<0.05). However, cohesiveness and gumminess were not different among the samples. The pH of SP was the highest among the samples, and the TBARS value of OP was lowest (p<0.05). The VBN contents were not different among the samples. The amounts of raw color for OP and SP were higher than that of PP (p<0.05). The raw aroma was not different among the samples. Also, roasted aroma and taste were not different among the samples, but the tenderness, juiciness, and palatability of SP were the highest among the samples (p<0.05).

This study aims to seek ways to improve frying stability of soybean oil which is widely used for deep frying while at the same time attempting to develop new frying oil and fat of high quality. Taking soybean oil as a control group, the study fried frozen potatoes with hydrogenated soybean oil with iodine value ranging from 60 to 110 for 15 hours. The test results showed that in frying stability, hydrogenated soybean oil with iodine value of 87 and 63 was superior to normal soybean oil and hydrogenated soybean oil with iodine value of 111(P<0.05). In sensory evaluation, however, no significant difference can be detected among groups(P>0.05). The correlation between physicoche-mical properties and sensory evaluation results was highest for smoke point and viscosity. This study concludes, therefore, that hydrogenated soybean oil with iodine value of 60~90 is better than normal soybean oil as deep-frying oil.

This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with various amounts of dropwort powder. According to the results, the $^{\circ}Brix$ value, pH, and moisture contents of yanggaeng decreased significantly with the addition of dropwort powder. The results of color measurement analysis reveal tha t L value, a value, and b value of the groups with dropwort powder werelower than those of the control group. Texture measurement scores in terms of hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and brittleness for yanggaeng showed that 1~4% of substituted sample groups were higher than those of the control group. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 24.20%, whereas groups with the added dropwort powder ranged from 33.56~58.80%. As dropwort powder increased, antioxidative activity also increased. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of color, odor, taste, texture, and overall preference of groups with 1% and 2% of dropwort powder did not show any significant differences when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, this study suggests that the addition of 2% dropwort powder may be the best substitution ratio for yanggaeng.

Nanopowdered chitosan (NPC) has high biological activities, such as blood cholesterol lowering effect and antidiabetic activity. This study is carried out to determine the effects of nano-powdered chitosan-added Maribo cheese (NCMC) for the physicochemical properties and sensory analysis during its ripening at $14^{\circ}C$ for 6 mon. From the results, the moisture and fat levels are not significantly influenced from the addition of chitosan (p>0.05), but ash contents increased with increasing chitosan concentrations and the protein contents decreased with increasing chitosan concentrations. In the short-chain fatty acids analysis during the ripening, the total production is initially 13.79 ppm in 0.2% NCMC and 13.81 ppm in control, and their levels have steadily increased to 59.94 and 53.11 ppm, respectively. For the color levels, the $L^*$ values decreased, while the $a^*$ and $b^*$ values significantly increased during ripening for all samples (p<0.05). In texture analysis, the hardness and gumminess of NCMC significantly decreased as compared to the control during ripening (p<0.05), while the cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness were not significantly different among the treatments (p>0.05). In sensory analysis, the butyric off-flavor and bitterness increased slightly with increasing concentrations of NCMC during ripening. The overall acceptability of 0.2% NCMC held the highest score amongst the samples during the ripening. From the results obtained, the 0.2% NCMC was preferred during the ripening and observed the possibility of functional cheese.

Duck feet gelatin (DFG) gel was added as a fat replacer to low-fat frankfurters and the effect of DFG on physicochemical, textural, and sensory characteristics of low-fat frankfurters was evaluated. DFG gel was prepared with a 20% duck feet gelatin concentration (w/w). Adding DFG decreased lightness and increased yellowness of the low-fat frankfurters (p<0.05). However, DFG did not affect redness of low-fat frankfurters (p>0.05). The statistical results indicated that adding DFG improved cooking yield of low-fat frankfurters (p<0.05). In addition, replacing pork back fat with DFG resulted in increased moisture content, protein content, and ash content of low-fat frankfurters, and the low-fat frankfurter formulated with 5% pork back fat and 15% DFG gel had the highest moisture content and lowest fat content (p<0.05). Adding of DFG increased all textural parameters including hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and gumminess of low-fat frankfurters (p<0.05). In terms of sensory properties, the low-fat frankfurter formulated with 5% pork back fat and 15% DFG gel showed similar satisfaction scores for the flavor, tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptance when compared to the regular frankfurters (20% back fat). Therefore, our results suggest that DFG could be an effective novel source, as a fat replacer, for manufacturing of low-fat frankfurters.

This study was carried out to optimize microencapsulation conditions for Inonotus obliquus extract powder with mediumchain triacylglycerol (MCT) using response surface methodology (RSM), and to determine the possibility of adding encapsulated I. obliquus extract to milk toward improving the functionality of milk. and to investigate the effects of added encapsulated I. obliquus extract on the physicochemical and sensory properties of the product. The microencapsulation efficiency of I. obliquus extract powder was investigated with respect to three variables (ratios of core material to coating material, amounts of water added, and spray pressure) in RSM. The optimal conditions for microencapsulation of I. obliquus extract powder were obtained from the ratio of core material to coating material (2.92:10) and the amount of water added (0.5 mL); the spray pressure had an insignificant effect on the microencapsulation (p<0.05). Adding encapsulated I. obliquus extract into milk did not significantly affect either color (L, a and b values) or thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values. Sensory test revealed that there were significant improvements in brownish, herb flavor, and bitterness scores for encapsulated I. obliquus extract-added milk as compared with those for uncapsulated I. obliquus extract-added milk. Based on the data obtained from the present study, it is concluded that microcapsules of I. obliquus extract powder could be applicable to milk without remarkably adverse effects on physicochemical and sensory properties

The objective of this study was to determine the physicochemical and sensory properties of Appenzeller cheese supplemented with different concentrations (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4%, w/w) of powdered microcapsules of tomato extracts (PMT) during ripening at 14℃ for 6 mon. The particle sizes of PMT ranged from 1 to 10 m diameter with an average particle size of approximately 2 m. Butyric acid (C₄) concentrations of PMT-added Appenzeller cheese were significantly higher than that of the control. Lactic acid bacteria counts in the cheese were not significantly influenced by ripening time from 0 to 6 mon or the concentrations (0-4%, w/w) of PMT. In terms of texture, the hardness of PMT-added Appenzeller cheese was significantly increased compared to the control. The gumminess and chewiness of PMT-added Appenzeller cheese were similar to those of the control. However, both cohesiveness and springiness of PMT-added Appenzeller cheese were slightly decreased. In sensory analysis, bitterness and sourness of Appenzeller cheese were not significantly changed after supplementation of PMT, but sweetness of the cheese was significantly increased after increasing the ripening time from 0 to 6 mon and increasing the concentration from 1 to 4% (w/w). Based on these results, the addition of the concentrations (1-4%, w/w) of PMT to Appenzeller cheese can be used to develop functional Appenzeller cheese.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of nanoemulsion (NEM) on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of pork patty to improve texture for elderly members of the population. Hence, we prepared pork patties supplemented with different of liquid materials: water; oil and water; oil, water, and surfactants; and nanoemulsion. The emulsion itself was characterized and the physicochemical properties of the pork patties, including pH, water content, cooking loss, thawing loss, liquid holding capacity, color, and texture, were analyzed. The size of NEM was 165.70±9.32 nm and NEM had high ζ-potential value indicating that it is stable. NEM patties had the lowest cooking and thawing losses, and the highest liquid retention, all of which affected the tenderness of the patties. Color of the patty was also affected by the addition of NEM. The highest lightness and yellowness and the lowest redness were observed (p<0.05). NEM patties had the lowest values for all texture attributes indicating improved tenderness. Our results demonstrate that NEM has positive effects on pork patties and can help to tenderize food products designed for the elderly. With further study, NEM could be a candidate tenderization agent in the meat industry.
