  • The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of high post-mortem temperature application on development of pale, soft, exudative (PSE) turkey meat characteristics in terms of local slaughter conditions. Within this scope, it was targeted to obtain PSE-like muscles benefiting from different post-mortem temperature applications. Immediately after slaughter, turkey Pectoralis major (n=15) muscles were kept at various post-mortem temperatures (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40℃) for 5 h. pH values of 40°C treatment were lower than four other treatments (p<0.05). L* values, drip loss, cook loss, and thawing loss of 40℃ group were higher than the other groups (p< 0.05). Napole yield of 40℃ treatment indicated that high post-mortem temperature decreases brine uptake. Protein solubility of 40℃ group was lower than 0℃ group (p<0.05). Expressible moisture did not differ between 0 and 40℃ treatments. Hardness, gumminess and chewiness of 40℃ treatment were higher than 0℃ treatment. The results of this research showed that high post-mortem temperature treatment induced development of PSE-like turkey meat, with lower pH, paler color, higher technological and storage losses, and reduced protein solubility and texture.

  • Purified myofibrils were prepared from ante-mortem stress and control lots of Taiwan country chicken breast and thigh muscles at death and afler storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 0, 1, 2, 3, and 7 days post-mortem. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polycrylamide gel electrophoresis (3.2%) and densitometer were used to examine the effect of ante-mortem stress and control storage of muscle on titin and nebulin. Results indicated that titin and nebulin were more rapidly degraded in the control and the ante-mortem stress light muscles than in the control and ante-mortem dark muscles of Taiwan country chicken. In contrast, nebulin was shown to be more resistance to degradation in the ante-mortem stress dark muscle than in the control light muscle.

  • Meat proteolytic systems play a crucial role in meat tenderisation. Understanding the effects of processing technologies and post-mortem storage conditions on these systems is important due to their crucial role in determining the quality characteristics of meat and meat products. It has recently been proposed that tenderisation occurs due to the synergistic action of numerous endogenous proteolytic systems. There is strong evidence suggesting the importance of μ-calpain during the initial post-mortem aging phase, while m-calpain may have a role during long-term aging. The caspase proteolytic system is also a candidate for cell degradation in the initial stages of conversion of muscle to meat. The role of cathepsins, which are found in the lysosomes, in post-mortem aging is controversial. Lysosomes need to be ruptured, through aging, or other forms of processing to release cathepsins into the cytosol for participation in proteolysis. A combination of optimum storage conditions along with suitable processing may accelerate protease activity within meat, which can potentially lead to improved meat tenderness. Processing technologies such as high pressure, ultrasound, and shockwave processing have been reported to disrupt muscle structure, which can facilitate proteolysis and potentially enhance the aging process. This paper reviews the recent literature on the impacts of processing technologies along with post-mortem storage conditions on the activities of endogenous proteases in meat. The information provided in the review may be helpful in selecting optimum post-mortem meat storage and processing conditions to achieve improved muscle tenderness within shorter aging and cooking times.

  • Tenderness is the most important meat quality trait, which is determined by intracellular environment and extracellular matrix. Particularly, specific protein degradation and protein modification can disrupt the architecture and integrity of muscle cells so that improves the meat tenderness. Endogenous proteolytic systems are responsible for modifying proteinases as well as the meat tenderization. Abundant evidence has testified that calpains (CAPNs) including calpain I (CAPN1) and calpastatin (CAST) have the closest relationship with tenderness in livestock. They are involved in a wide range of physiological processes including muscle growth and differentiation, pathological conditions and post-mortem meat aging. Whereas, Calpain3 (CAPN3) has been established as an important activating enzyme specifically expressed in livestock's skeletal muscle, but its role in domestic animals meat tenderization remains controversial. In this review, we summarize the role of CAPN1, calpain II (CAPN2) and CAST in post-mortem meat tenderization, and analyse the relationship between CAPN3 and tenderness in domestic animals. Besides, the possible mechanism affecting post-mortem meat aging and improving meat tenderization, and current possible causes responsible for divergence (whether CAPN3 contributes to animal meat tenderization or not) are inferred. Only the possible mechanism of CAPN3 in meat tenderization has been confirmed, while its exact role still needs to be studied further.

  • Debugging is very important element in programming development. We can find a lot of bug of program we made, and we can fix it. but after a product is released, we need system we can catch bugs as soon as possible. For this, we need to know post-mortem debugging. We will look at post-mortem debugging, and we will talk about process dump. Also when process get the problem, we should get the process dump, but we can have situation process dump was not generated. We will consider this case, and we will examine programming technique which this case can be retrieved. Finally, I will introduce EHModule(exception handler module)

  • This research was conducted at agric physical lab, Department of Animal science, Faculty of Agriculture to determines the effects of marinating spent layer meat with basil leaf paste on drip loss and sensory attributes under different post mortem conditions. In the light of this, the poultry industry is obliged to continuously grow for a steady supply of quality poultry meat. Marinating the spent layer hen's meat with fresh basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum) in addition to subjecting the meat to 0, 6, 12, and at 24 hours post mortem aging before cooking increased it's organoleptic attributes which was readily acceptable to consumers. Marination of meat with herbs or spices like basil leaves paste had enhanced consumer's preference for taste, texture aroma, colour and overall acceptance. Marination improved consumer acceptance of spent layer meat irrespective of parts and post mortem aging. However, the majority of the respondents preferred meat marinated and subjected to 12 hours of post mortem aging. It is recommended that more quantity of marinate should be added further studies should in order to determine more effect of fresh basil leaves rough paste. And more hours of postmortem aging should be increased in order to determine more effect of fresh basil leaves rough paste marinate.

  • The objective of the present experiment was to determine the effects of slaughtering at different ages and the use of a commercial probiotic (115-Biogallinox) in broiler diets on the color properties of carcasses, during the first 24 h following slaughter. Ross 308 male broiler chickens obtained from a commercial hatchery were raised to either 35 or 42 days of age. Chickens were fed with different levels of probiotic ($P_0$: 0.0%, $P_1$: 0.1% and $P_2$: 0.2%) containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae during the experimental period. At the end of the trial all birds were slaughtered and then stored at $3^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The pH and skin colour of carcasses were determined 1, 3, 7, 10, 13, 17 and 24 h after slaughter. Although the use of probiotic and post-mortem ageing time affected the pH (p<0.01), it was not affected by slaughter age (35 and 42 days) (p>0.05). The highest pH values occurred in carcasses of broilers fed 0.2% probiotic. The pH values of carcasses decreased with post-mortem ageing time (p<0.01). Main factors (treatment, slaughter age and post-mortem ageing time) had an effect on colour ($L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$) values (p<0.01). $L^*$ values of 42d-old slaughter and $P_2$ group were lower than those of 35d-old slaughter and other probiotic groups. The $a^*$ and $b^*$ values of 35d-old slaughter were lower than those of 42d-old slauhgter. The $a^*$ and $b^*$ values increased during post-mortem ageing (p<0.01). It was determined that changing of the colour traits of broiler carcasses was correlated with probiotic, pH and post-mortem ageing time. Also, it was observed that darkness of carcass colour increased as time progressed.

  • The relationship between the myofibrillar fragmentation and zeugmatin during post-mortem aging was in vestigated by indirect immunofluorescence method using antizeugmatin Antiserum as a measure of meat tenderization. The antizeugmatin antiserum was prepared using bands separated by SDS-PAGE and reacted specifically with zeugmatin, showing no cross-reactivity with the other myofibrillar proteins. By the indirect immunofluorescence method, this antiserum stained the fresh myofibrillar However, the fluorescence intensity decreased with post-mortem time and almost disappeared within 24 hr of storage, in parallel with the myofibrillar fragmentation. It was therefore concluded that zeugmatin can be conveniently used as a measure of meat tenderization during post-mortem aging by immunoflurescence method.

  • The influence of the storage temperature and time after slaughter on the thermal denaturation of PSE porcine muscle protein was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and by measuring the solubility of the sarcoplasmic proteins. In the DSC therodiagram a decrease of the endotherm enthalpy of the myosin plus sarcoplasmic proteins in PSE muscle could be observed with an increase in the storage temperature and time of post mortem. Storage temperature at $20^{\circ}C$ during the first four hours of post mortem resulted in relatively slight denaturation of myosin plus sarcoplasmic proteins in PSE muscle. Storage temperature above $25^{\circ}C$ caused to increase the denaturation of muscle proteins. The minimal drip loss in PSE muscle could be observed, when the muscle was cooled to $2^{\circ}C$ as quickly as possible post mortem. However, when stored for several hours of post morte at a temperature between $32^{\circ}C-38^{\circ}C$, the drip loss reached the level established for PSE muscle. The paleness of PSE muscle could be prevented to some extent by rapid chill to $20^{\circ}C$ post mortem. The more the muscle proteins in the PSE muscle become denatured during the early storage period of post mortem, the more the drip loss increases. With the increase in the denaturation of myosin plus sarcoplasmic proteins in PSE muscle with regard to temperature of post mortem, there was a corresponding decrease in the solubility of the sarcoplasmic proteins in PSE muscle.

  • The Article 17 (1) of the Medical Service Act states that no one but medical doctor, dentist or herb doctor shall prepare medical certificate, post-mortem examination, certificate or prescription. Though medical certificate, post-mortem examination or certificate is a private document issued by doctor personally, it is accepted as reliable as public document. Therefore, for medical certificate, post-mortem examination or certificate, unlike other private document to guarantee authenticipy of the content, the Article 233 of the Criminal Act states the Crime of Issuance of Falsified Medical Certificates. In other words, the Criminal Act Article 233 states that If a medical or herb doctor, dentist or midwife prepares false medical certificate, post-mortem examination or certificate life or death, one shall be punished by imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not more than three years, suspension of qualifications for not more than seven years, or a fine not exceeding thirtht million won. The subject of the Crime of Issuance of Falsified Medical Certificates is only a medical or herb doctor, dentist or midwife and the eligibility requirements are specified in the Medical Service Act. Medical certificate is the medical document to be issued by medical doctor to certify the health status and show the Jugdement about the result of the diagnosis, Post-mortem examination is the document to be listed by medical doctor to confirm medically about human body or dead body, and Certificate life or death is a kind of medical certificate to verify the fact of birth or death, the cause of death, such as Birth Certificate, Certificate of Stillbirth or Certificate of Dead Fetus. To constitute the crime of Issuance of Falsified Medical Certificates, it is necessary for the contents of the certificate to be substantially contrary to the truth, as well as it is needed the subjective perception that the contents of the certificate are false. The Supreme Court Decision 2004DO3360 Delivered on March 23, 2006 declared that although the Defendant did not MRI scan, etc. for precise observation about the disability status of Mr Park, it was difficult to believe that the contents of the Disability Certificate of this case were contrary to the objective truth or the defendant had perception that the contents of the certificate were false. I don't agree with the Supreme Court Decision, because the Supreme Court confirmed the decision by the court below despite the Supreme Court should have made the court below retry the reason why the Defendant did not MRI scan, etc. for precise observation about the disability status of Mr Park.
