Abstract

The effects of chitosan dipping treatments with different molecular weights on the meat quality of Hanwoo(Korean Cattle) beef during refrigerated storage were investigated. The beef(M. Semimembranosus) were dipped in 0.5% chitosan(in 1% acetic acid) with two different molecular weights(Mw=150 and 600 kDa) for 5 min and stored at $1^{\circ}C$(90% RH). The pH was significantly(p<0.05) higher in chitosan(600 kDa) group than in the other groups. The L* value for 3 days was significantly(p<0.05) higher in chitosan (600 kDa) group, but it was not significantly(p>0.05) different after 6 days. The a* value of day 0(before storage) was not significantly(p>0.05) different among the treatment groups, however the a* value of day 12 was significantly(p<0.05) higher in chitosan(150 kDa) group. The metmyoglobin(%) was significantly(p<0.05) lower in chitosan(600 kDa) group. The total bacterial counts of day 0(before storage) were significantly(p<0.05) lower in chitosan(600 kDa) group, but during storage, the chitosan(150 kDa) group was effective in antibacterial activity. The chitosan(l50 kDa) group had significantly(p<0.05) lower shear force than the other groups over time.

분자량을 달리한 chitosan 침지처리가 한우육의 저온저장 중 품질특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 150 kDa과 600kDa의 분자량을 갖는 chitosan을 1% acetic acid에 0.5%씩을 용해하고 pH를 5.5로 조정한 후 한우육의 우둔부위를 5분간 침지시킨 후 $1^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 실험하였다. 실험결과, pH는 chitosan(600 kDa) 처리구가 다른 처리구들에 비해 유의적으로 높은 값을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 명도(L*)는 저장 3일까지는 chitosan(600 kDa) 처리구가 유의적으로 높은 값을 보였으나, 6일 이후부터는 처리구간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 적색도의 경우는 저장 전에는 처리구간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나 12일 저장시에는 chitosan(150 kDa) 처리구에서 유의적으로 높은 적색도를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 chitosan(600 kDa)처리구에서 저장 시 표면에 생성되는 metmyoglobin(%)의 함량은 유의적으로 낮은 함량을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 또한 저장기간을 결정할 수 있는 육표면에서의 총균수 실험결과는 저장 전에는 chitosan(600 kDa)처리구가 가장 낮은 총균수를 보였으나 저장기간이 증가함에 따라 chitosan(150 kDa)처리구가 chitosan (600 kDa)처리구보다 항균효과가 더 높게 나타나는 경향을 보여 저장 안정성이 높음을 알 수 있었다. 전단력은 전체적으로 다른 처리구에 비해 chitosan(150 kDa)처리구가 유의적으로(p<0.05) 낮은 값을 보여 연도가 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 침지처리시 chitosan의 분자량이 한우육의 품질을 결정하는 중요한 요인으로 사료된다.
