Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression level of filaggrin-2 (FLG2) in correlation with drip loss. Methods: The muscle samples were randomly taken from a local meat supplier. Samples were taken from Longissimus lumborum muscles to evaluate the drip loss (n = 100). Five muscles per group (low and high drip loss) were selected to evaluate FLG2 mRNA and protein expression levels. Results: mRNA of FLG2 gene was not significantly different in pigs with different levels of drip loss (p>0.05). Statistical analysis revealed that FLG2 protein expression levels were significantly different between the drip loss groups. Western blot revealed that the high drip loss group had higher FLG2 protein expression level than the low drip loss group (p<0.001). Moreover, immunohistochemistry revealed the high signal intensity was on the muscle cell membrane and cytoplasm. Conclusion: FLG2 protein might play roles in drip loss of pork and will provide the basis for information to improving meat quality traits in pigs.

Objective: An experiment was conducted to study the blood haematology, muscle pH, and serum cortisol changes in pigs with different levels of drip loss. Methods: Two groups (low and high) of 20 animals were selected from 100 pigs based on drip loss. All [$Duroc{\times}(Large\;White{\times}Landrace)$] pigs were slaughtered according to standard slaughtering procedures. At exsanguinations, blood samples were taken for the haematological parameters and serum cortisol analysis. The muscle samples were taken from longissimus dorsi muscle to evaluate the muscle pH and drip loss. Results: Haematological parameters of low drip loss group showed higher content of white blood cells and monocytes than high drip loss group (p<0.05). The low drip loss group had higher muscle pH at 45 min (p<0.05) and 24 h (p<0.001) post-mortem than the high drip loss group. However, there was no significant difference in serum cortisol levels (p>0.05). Conclusion: Drip loss is mainly affected by the muscle pH decline after slaughter and also might be affected by white blood cells and monocytes.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 90, 70, and 60 in chicken muscles and their possible relationship with quality traits of meat. Methods: The breast muscles from one hundred broiler chickens were analyzed for drip loss and other quality parameters, and the levels of heat shock protein (HSP) 90, 70, and 60 were determined by immunoblots. Results: Based on the data, chicken breast muscles were segregated into low (drip loss${\leq}5%$), intermediate (5%${\geq}9.5$) drip loss groups. The expression of HSP90 and HSP60 were significantly lower in the high drip loss group compared to that in the low and intermediate drip loss group (p<0.05), while HSP70 was equivalent in abundance in all groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Results of this study suggests that higher levels of HSP90 and HSP60 may be advantageous for maintenance of cell function and reduction of water loss, and they could act as potential indicator for better water holding capacity of meat.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of hot- and cold-boning on sarcomere length, drip loss and protein solubility of post-rigor porcine longissimus muscle. A total of ten pigs(borrow, 100$\pm$5 kg) were randomly selected at a commercial plant and the carcasses were split in half after slaughter. The longissimus muscle of the left side was dissected and chilled at 0$^{\circ}C$ after trimming of subcutaneous fat whereas the right side carcasses were served for cold-boning after chilling for 24 hrs. The temperature, pH and sarcomere length of porcine longissimus muscle were measured at postmortem 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours. Drip loss, cooking loss, Minolta L*a*b*, shear force and protein solubility were measured at postmortem 24 hrs. The pH of cold-boning samples was rapidly decreased whereas temperature and sarcomere length of hot-boning samples were rapidly decreased during 24 hrs of chilling. Hot-boning muscles showed significantly (P<0.05) higher pHu and shorter sarcomere compared with cold boning muscles because of cold shortening. However, there were no significant differences in drip loss, cooking loss and shear force value between hot- and cold boned samples. The samples of hot-boning showed lower Minolta L* value and higher sarcoplasmic protein solubility compared with cold boned samples. These results suggest that the pale color changing of porcine longissimus muscle could be inhibited by hot-boning due to rapid chilling of the muscle although sarcomere length could be shortened because of cold shortening. Also these results show that hot-boning of porcine carcass could have a high protein solubility without negative effects of drip loss or tenderness of porcine longissimus muscle.

본 연구에서는 $1^+$ 등급 한우육의 신선도와 맛에 관련된 품질인자를 도출해내기 위하여 $0^{\circ}C$와 $10^{\circ}C$에 저장하여 저장기간별로 drip loss, cooking loss, VBN, TBARS, 총균수와 같은 이화학적 특성과 관능적 특성을 평가하였다. Drip loss와 cooking loss, VBN 및 TBARS의 경우 저장기간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 저장온도가 높을수록 관능적 신선도와의 상관계수도 크게 증가하였다. Cooking loss의 경우 신선도에 있어서 저장온도 증가에 따라 상관계수가 크게 증가하여 영향을 많이 받았으며, 총균수는 $0^{\circ}C$보다 $10^{\circ}C$에서 상관계수가 감소하였다. 반면 맛에 대한 기호도에 대해서는 drip loss와 TBARS값이 $10^{\circ}C$에서 상관성이 높았으며 VBN 함량과 cooking loss 및 총균수는 $10^{\circ}C$에서 상관성이 낮아 온도 증가에 따른 영향을 상대적으로 적게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 품질 측정치를 종합하여 쇠고기의 신선도와 맛에 대한 5가지의 이화학적 특성과의 관계를 알아보고자 다중회귀분석 중 단계적 회귀분석을 한 결과, 쇠고기의 신선도에 대해서는 drip loss의 하나의 인자만으로도 $R^2=0.87$의 매우 높은 선형을 가지는 $Y_1=10.768-0.706X_1$(drip loss)의 선형 회귀식이 산출되었으며 전체 모형의 87%를 설명하였다. 반면, 저장기간에 따른 쇠고기 맛의 예측모델은 $R^2=0.95$의 매우 높은 선형을 가지는 $Y_2=9.702-0.438X_1(drip\;loss)-0.232X_5(TVC)$의 선형 회귀식이 산출되었으며 drip loss와 총균수의 두 인자로 이들 품질인자를 통한 쇠고기의 기호도의 계량적 해석이 가능하였다.

Objective: The relationship between water-holding capacity (WHC) and intermuscular fat (IMF) was studied in Japanese commercial pork. Methods: Longissimus muscles of pigs (n = 62), obtained from two meat packing plants, were analyzed for IMF content, moisture content, drip loss, cooking loss, and pH. Pairwise relationships among these traits were determined using correlation analyses. Results: IMF content was significantly correlated with moisture content (r = -0.88; p<0.01) and pH (r = 0.32; p<0.05), but not with drip loss (r = -0.23; p = 0.07) or cooking loss (r = -0.10; p = 0.42). In contrast, drip loss was significantly (and negatively) correlated with pH (r = -0.57; p<0.01). Conclusion: IMF content was not significantly correlated with WHC in pork, and so ultimately, we consider pH to be one of the most important factors influencing WHC in pork meat.

Effect of pasture finishing on $\alpha$-tocopherol and $\beta$-carotene concentrations, drip loss, cooking loss, Warner-Bratzler shear force, fatty acid composition, meat color and metmyoglobin percentage of m. longissimus thoracis of Japanese Shorthorn steers was studied. Japanese Shorthorn steers (n=8), fattened indoors with a concentrate-based diet until they were 19 months of age were divided into two groups of four steers. Steers of the concentrate-fed group were fattened indoors with a concentrate-based diet until they were slaughtered. Steers of the pasture-fed group were fattened on pasture until they were slaughtered. The $\alpha$-tocopherol and $\beta$-carotene concentrations in the muscle of the pasture-fed group were higher (p<0.05) than those of the concentrate-fed group. The drip loss of the muscle of the pasture-fed group was lower (p<0.05) than that of the concentrate-fed group. Compared with the concentrate-fed group, the concentration of peroxidisable lipids (fatty acids with three or more unsaturated bonds) in the muscle of the pasture-fed group was high (p<0.05). The metmyoglobin percentage during display of the muscle of the pasture-fed group was higher (p<0.05) than that of the concentrate-fed group. These results suggested that pasture finishing decreased drip loss of the beef but lowered meat color stability.

Muscle fiber characteristics were evaluated for predictability of meat quality traits using 231 crossbred pigs. Muscle $pH_{45min}$, R-value, and $pH_{24hr}$ were selected to estimate regression equation model of drip loss and lightness, although variances of coefficient estimates could only account for small part of drip loss (about 16.3 to 25.3%) and lightness (about 16.9 to 31.7%). Muscle $pH_{24hr}$ was represented to drip loss and lightness, which explained corresponding 25.3 and 31.7% of estimation in drip loss and lightness, respectively. Area percentage of type IIb fiber significantly contributed to prediction of metabolic rate and meat quality. However, equations predicting meat quality traits based on area percentage of type IIb fiber alone are less useful than ones based on early postmortem parameters. These results suggest estimated model using both metabolic properties of muscle and postmortem metabolic rate could be used for prediction of pork quality traits.

본 연구는 해동 중 발생하는 drip 손실, 미생물의 오염, 표면의 과열 등을 방지하면서 급속 해동 방법을 찾기 위해 동결 돈육에 여러 가지 해동 방법을 적용하였다. 4, 28, $50^{\circ}C$에서의 해동과 2,450, 915 MHz의 microwave를 이용하여 해동을 실시하였고, 915 MHz microwave 해동은 출력을 5, 10, 15 kW로 변화시키면서 단일 조사와 $120^{\circ}C$의 열풍을 함께 조사한 경우를 해동시간, 온도분포, drip 손실, 보수력, 표면색도, 총세균수를 측정하였다. 915 MHz microwave를 이용한 해동은 열전도에 의한 해동보다 2백배 이상 시간이 단축되었고, 2,450 MHz microwave를 이용한 해동 방법의 침투깊이의 제한에서 발생되는 문제를 개선시킬 수 있었으며 drip 손실, 보수력, 총세균수에 있어서 효과가 컸다. 저주파수(915 MHz), 저출력(5 kW)의 microwave와 대류 가열을 병용하여 품질 저하를 최소한으로 방지하면서 급속해동을 위한 산업적 이용이 가능한 것으로 기대할 수 있었다.
