This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical properties of chicken breast ham manufactured with broiler (BR), spent broiler breeder hen (SBBH), and spent laying hen (SLH). The water holding capacity and final yield of chicken breast ham manufactured with SLH was significantly lower than chicken breast ham manufactured with BR and SBBH (P<0.05). The lightness and redness of chicken breast ham manufactured with SBBH were significantly higher than those of chicken breast ham manufactured with SLH (P<0.05). The yellowness of chicken breast ham manufactured with BR and SLH was significantly higher than that of chicken breast ham manufactured with SBBH (P<0.05). The shear force of chicken breast ham manufactured with SLH was the highest. The tenderness and overall acceptability of chicken breast ham manufactured with BR and SBBH were significantly higher than those of chicken breast ham manufactured with SLH. Therefore, SBBH and SLH can lead to various textures of chicken breast hams.

Twenty four broilers (Ross) and 24 ducklings (Cherry berry) aged 45days were stunned and killed by conventional neck cut to evaluate the meat characteristics and fatty acid composition of breast meat. Breast meats were removed from each carcass at different post-mortem times. After complete processing, the breast meats were then placed in a polythene bag and kept in a cold storage room at $4^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The pH of meat samples at different post-mortem times, and meat characteristics and fatty composition at different storage times were evaluated. No significant differences were found in pH at different post-mortem times except at 30 min postmortem, where duck breast showed significantly lower pH than chicken breast. As expected, duck breast meat had significantly higher redness (a*), but lower lightness (L*) value compared to chicken breast. During whole storage time, the a* value remained constant in duck breast. Cooking loss (%) was higher in duck breast compared to chicken breast during the whole storage time. Shear force decreased with increasing storage time in both chicken and duck breast meat, moreover, it decreased rapidly in duck breast compared to chicken breast. The TBARS values increased with increasing storage time in both duck breast and chicken breast meat and was significantly higher in duck breast. The fatty acids (%) C14:0, C16:0, C16:1, C18:2 and C18:3 were significantly higher while C18:0 was significantly lower in duck breast compared to chicken. SFA was increased, while USFA and MUSFA decreased only in duck breast during the 7 day storage time.

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of chicken breast meat on the quality of mackerel sausages. The mackerel sausages were manufactured by additions of 5%, 7%, and 10% of chicken breast meat. The lightness of mackerel sausages showed no significant differences between the control and addition groups. The redness increased in a dose-dependent manner, but the yellowness decreased significantly with the addition of 7% chicken breast meat (p<0.05). The whiteness value of mackerel sausage added with 7% chicken breast meat was significantly higher than those of the other groups (p<0.05). In texture analysis, the hardness and adhesiveness of the mackerel sausage added with 5% of chicken breast meat showed no significant differences as compared to the control. However, the mackerel sausages added with 7% and 10% of chicken breast meat showed a dose-dependent decrease. The gel strength of the mackerel sausage added with 5% chicken breast meat was not significantly different from the control, but the addition of 7% and 10% chicken breast meat reduced the gel strength of the mackerel sausage. In sensory evaluation, the mackerel sausages prepared with chicken breast meat have higher scores in smell, taste, texture, hardness, chewiness, and overall preference as compared to the no addition group. Therefore, these results suggest that the optimal condition for improving the properties within mackerel sausages was 5% addition of chicken breast meat.

This study is conducted to evaluate the effects of the mixing ratio between pork loin and chicken breast for textural and sensory properties of emulsion sausages. Meat homogenates are prepared by using five mixing ratios between pork loin and chicken breast (100:0, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70, and 0:100), and the emulsion sausages are also formulated with five mixing ratios. The additions of chicken breast increase the salt soluble protein solubility due to high pH levels of chicken breast, thereby resulting in the reduction of cooking losses. In addition, the apparent viscosity of meat homogenates increase with increasing amounts of chicken breast. In terms of emulsion sausages formulated with pork loin and chicken breast, the addition of chicken breast above 50% may contribute to a softer and more flexible texture of emulsion sausages. For sensory evaluations, an increase in the added amount of chicken breast contributes to a rich umami taste and deeper flavor within the emulsion sausages, resulting in the high overall acceptance score for the formulation of 0-30% pork loin and 70-100% chicken breast. Therefore, the optimal mixing ratios between pork loin and chicken breast are 0-30% and 70-100% for enhancing the textural and sensory properties of emulsion sausages.

This study investigated the influence of ultrasound treatment on the quality properties of chicken breast meat and the broth from Korean chicken soup (Baeksuk). In this study, the internal temperature, malondialdehyde content, textural profile, color, dry matter, protein content, phenolic content and sensory properties of chicken breast meat broth from chicken soup with ultrasound treatment were analyzed. The chicken, plants, salt, and water were vacuum packaged in a retort pouch. The chicken soup was manufactured with ultrasound treatment (45 kHz and $1.6W\;cm^{-2}$) in a water bath at $85^{\circ}C$. The texture properties, color, and lipid oxidation of the chicken breast meat from the chicken soup were not affected by the ultrasound treatment. There was no significant difference in the lipid oxidation in the broth of the chicken soup between the control and ultrasound treatment. The dry matter and crude protein contents of the broth were significantly increased by the ultrasound treatment. The broth flavor of the chicken soup manufactured with the ultrasound treatment received a higher score than that of the control in the sensory analysis. There were no differences in the sensory properties of the chicken breast meat from the chicken soup between the control and ultrasound treatment Therefore, the broth quality of the chicken soup can be improved by heating with ultrasound treatment. Additionally, to apply ultrasound technology to the production chicken breast meat and the broth from chicken soup, it is necessary to further study the quality characteristics of the breast meat and broth according to various frequencies and strengths.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of ultrasonic wave scanning on the quality of fried chicken breast. The ultrasonic wave scanning time was 0(US-0), 3(US-3), 7(US-7) and 10(US-10) minutes, no respective comparison here. The moisture of raw breast was higher than that of flied chicken, while the crude protein, fat and ash of fried chicken were higher than those of raw breast(p<0.05). The moisture content was influenced by the ultrasonic waves scanning, but the crude protein, fat and ash were not. The $L^*$(lightness) and $b^*$(yellowness) values of fried chicken were higher than those of raw breast but the $a^*$(redness) value of raw breast was higher than that of fried chicken. The $L^*$ value was lowest in US-0, while the $a^*$ value was not significantly different and the $b^*$ value was lowest in US-7 among the fried chicken samples(p<0.05). The fried chicken was not influenced by the ultrasonic wave scanning, indicating that the longer scanning time increased the water holding capacity. The pH ranged from 6.54 to 6.93, and the calorie of fried was higher than that of raw breast, but was not influenced by the ultrasonic wave scanning time. The VBN content ranged from 8.73 to 12.3 mg%. The TBARS value of raw breast was lower than that of flied chicken and was not influenced by the ultrasonic wave scanning time. Total amino acid was highest in raw breast and lowest in US-3(p<0.05). The taste, texture and juiciness were superior with increasing scanning time, but flavor and Palatability were not significantly different among the fried chicken samples(p<0.05).

Surimi-like samples were divided into four groups (C, surimi-like material made from Alaska Pollack with all cryoprotectant ingredients; T1, surimi-like material made from chicken breast with sugar and a sorbitol-free cryoprotectant; T2, surimi-like material made from chicken breast with a sugar-free cryoprotectant; T3, surimi-like material made from chicken breast with all cryoprotectant ingredients). Water and protein content were lower in Alaska Pollack surimi-like material (C) than those in chicken breast surimi-like material. Centrifuge loss and cooking loss were higher in C than those in chicken breast surimi-like material. Lipid oxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) was lower in T3 than others during storage. In a sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was significantly higher in C than those in other samples during storage. As a result, we found that the raw material composition (Alaska Pollack or chicken breast) had a large influence on the physico-chemical characteristics and quality of surimi-like materials, whereas cryoprotectant composition may have less influence on the physico-chemical characteristics and quality of surimi-like materials.

This study attempted to investigate the optimum cooking conditions of chicken breast fillets employing the superheated steam (SHS). The effects of SHS cooking conditions on the physico-chemical and sensory properties of chicken breast fillets were studied. Chicken breast fillets for SHS cooking were treated in six different combinations of steam temperature ($330^{\circ}C$ or $350^{\circ}C$) and cooking time (6, 8 and 10 min). As a result, when the chicken breast fillets were cooked for 8min at $330^{\circ}C$ and 6 min at $350^{\circ}C$ steam, the internal temperature of the chicken breast fillets reached $75{\sim}76^{\circ}C$. At that cooking condition, the chicken breast fillets demonstrated lower cooking loss, higher moisture content, lower hardness and fracturability, and higher springiness; further, they had more acceptable sensory properties compared to the other SHS conditions and conventional electric oven cooking (control). These results suggest that the application of SHS technology to chicken breast fillet products can reduce the cooking time and cooking loss; moreover, it can produce highly preferred chicken products compared to conventional electric oven cooking.

This study investigated the protein digestibility of chicken breast and thigh in an in vitro digestion model to determine the better protein sources for the elderly in terms of bioavailability. For this purpose, the biochemical traits of raw muscles and the structural properties of myofibrillar proteins were monitored. The thigh had higher pH, 10% trichloroacetic acid-soluble α-amino groups, and protein carbonyl content than the breast (p<0.05). In the proximate composition, the thigh had higher crude fat and lower crude protein content than the breast (p<0.05). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of myofibrillar proteins showed noticeable differences in the band intensities of tropomyosin α-chain and myosin light chain-3 between the thigh and breast. The intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence intensity of myosin was lower in the thigh than in the breast (p<0.05). Moreover, circular dichroism spectroscopy of myosin revealed that the thigh had higher α-helical and lower β-sheet structures than the breast (p<0.05). The cooked muscles were then chopped and digested in the elderly digestion model. The thigh had more α-amino groups than the breast after both gastric and gastrointestinal digestion (p<0.05). SDS-PAGE analysis of the gastric digesta showed that more bands remained in the digesta of the breast than that of the thigh. The content of proteins less than 3 kDa in the gastrointestinal digesta was also higher in the thigh than in the breast (p<0.05). These results reveal that chicken thigh with higher in vitro protein digestibility is a more appropriate protein source for the elderly than chicken breast.
