This study was conducted to develop new crossbred pig using Korean native pig and Duroc. Fifteen pigs of pure Duroc (D) and 26 crossbred gilts (15 of DK1 and 11 of DK2) were reared until 195 ± 5 days old, then slaughtered at local slaughterhouse. Pork loin was gathered and vacuum packed from left carcass after 24 h of slaughter to analyze meat quality traits, such as color, pH, water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss and shear force (SF), and free fatty acid composition. Live weight and carcass weight of Duroc and DK1 were 119.1±8.7 / 82.91±6.1kg and 116.3±6.3 / 80.91±4.4 kg, respectively, and it was significantly higher than those of DK2 (104.7±8.4 / 71.36±5.7 kg) (p<0.05).There was no significant difference in proximate composition between animal groups, however DK2 showed significantly lower shear force (SF) and higher water holding capacity (WHC) than other groups (p<0.05). The redness of DK2 also showed significantly higher than Duroc (p<0.05), however there was no significant difference in lightness and yellowness (p>0.05). DK1 showed the highest monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) contents of 51.45±2.0% and DK2 showed the highest polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) contents of 8.98±1.4%, however there was no significantly difference in PUFA/SFA ratio between pig groups (p>0.05). Duroc and DK2 contain significantly higher amount of linoleic (7.99±1.2 and 8.11±1.3%, respectively) and linolenic acid (0.43±0.1 and 0.44±0.1%, respectively) than DK1, and DK1 contains significantly higher amount of oleic acid (47.32±1.8%) than others (p<0.05).

:This study was performed to investigate the effect of a sequencial washing of organic acid and distilled water on meat quality and the population of Escherichia coli of pork loin during cold storage. E. coli ATCC25922 was inoculated on the surface of sliced pork loin and 50 mL of 1% or 2% of organic acid and the same amount of distilled water was sprayed on the surface of pork loin. Then, physicochemical and microbial properties of pork loin were analyzed during cold storage. During storage period, lightness, yellowness and lipid oxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value) was higher than those of not treated control. However, the population of E. coli was decreased significantly in formic acid and distilled water sprayed pork loin samples. From these results, it can be considered that application of combination of washing of formic acid and water in the washing step of pig slaughter may be helpful to control the proliferation of E. coli.

: This study was carried out to determine the effect of storage condition, such as temperature and relative humidity (RH), on the change of sensory properties and free fatty acid composition of pre-packed Hanwoo loin (Musculus longissimus) until 21 st day of storage. The Hanwoo loin was sliced in 1.0±0.2cm thickness and each of the sliced pieces was packed in a foamed polystyrene tray with linear low-density polyethylene (LLD-PE) film to simulate the pre-packed Hanwoo loin sold in retail market, then stored in home-style refrigerator (Con; 5℃, 17%RH), and temperature and RH controled chambers (T1; 5℃, 55%RH, T2; 5℃, 85%RH, and T3; -1℃, 99%RH), respectively. The sensory characteristics of pre-packed Hanwoo loin during storage in different conditions were measured on raw or after cooking. After 21 days of storage, the loin stored in T3 showed significantly high color and acceptability scores (7.46±1.07, 7.06±1.36, respectively) on raw loin, and flavor and acceptability scores (7.16±0.90, 6.90±0.92, respectively) on cooked loin than those of others (p<0.05). The concentration of 12 fatty acids of pre-packed Hanwoo loin during storage in different conditions were analysed. The concentration of oleic acid (C18:1, 39.92±3.22%), palmitic acid (C16:0, 28.20±2.42%), and stearic acid (C18:0, 12.59±2.79%) was high in Hanwoo loin on 1 st day of storage. The concentration of palmitic acid of Hanwoo loin stored in T2 was increased significantly after 4 th day of storage (p<0.05), and the concentration of myristic acid(C14:0)of Hanwoo loin stored in treated chamber (T1 to T3) was significantly higher than Con after 14 th day of storage (p<0.05). The concentration of linolenic acid (C18:3) of Hanwoo loin was decreased significantly after 4 th day of storage in all tested storage conditions (p<0.05). However, there was no significant or consistent change in the concentration of oleic acid (C18:1) during storage period in every Hanwoo loin stored in tested conditions. Although, the concentration of total monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) was decreased in Con and T2 (p<0.05), there was no consistent change in the monounsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids ratio (MUFA/SFA) during storage period (p>0.05). From those results, it was considered that storage condition affects on the sensory acceptability and fatty acid composition of pre-packed Hanwoo loin as storage period was increased.
