The present study investigated the effects of duck skin gelatin and carrageenan on the quality of semi-dried restructured jerky. Restructured jerky was prepared as follows: G0 (control, without duck skin gelatin and carrageenan), G0C (0.3% carrageenan), G0.5 (0.5% duck skin gelatin), G0.5C (0.5% duck skin gelatin and 0.3% carrageenan), G1 (1.0% duck skin gelatin), and G1C (1.0% duck skin gelatin and 0.3% carrageenan). The moisture content was the highest for the semi-dried restructured jerky from G0.5C and G1C groups, which showed the lowest for shear force value (p < 0.05). The processing yield of semi-dried restructured jerky with carrageenan was higher compared to that of the control group (p < 0.05). The rehydration capacities of G0.5, G0.5C, and G1C groups were significantly higher than the rehydration capacity of the control group (p < 0.05). Water activity, lightness, yellowness, flavor score, texture score, and overall acceptability were the highest (p < 0.05) for the semi-dried restructured jerky from the G1C group. No significant (p > 0.05) difference was observed in appearance score among restructured jerky prepared from duck skin gelatin and carrageenan. Thus, the addition of 1.0% duck skin gelatin and 0.3% carrageenan to semi-dried restructured jerky formulations results in the optimization of quality characteristics.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of natural humectants such as honey and rice syrup to replace sorbitol in the production of restructured duck jerky. Each humectant was mixed at 3%, 6%, and 10% (wt/wt) concentrations with the marinating solution. The values of water activity and the moisture-to-protein ratio of all of the samples were maintained below 0.75. Jerky samples treated with honey retained more moisture than those exposed to other treatments. Among all samples, those treated with 10% sorbitol produced the highest processing yield and the lowest shear force values. The highest $L^*$ value and the lowest $b^*$ value were observed for the sorbitol-treated sample, followed by the rice syrup- and honey-treated samples. Duck jerky samples treated with 10% honey showed the highest scores for the sensory parameters evaluated. The overall acceptability scores of samples treated with rice syrup were comparable with those of samples treated with sorbitol. Microscopic observation of restructured duck jerky samples treated with honey showed stable forms and smaller pores when compared with other treatments.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect on properties of restructured jerky by the addition volume of additives. The treatments were divided into glutinous rice flour, potato starch, soybean and acorn powder. Moisture content, water activity ($a_w$), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), color, yield and sensory evaluation were performed. The moisture contents of four types of restructured jerkies were in the range of 8.92-12.47%, and were lower than that of the control (17.92%). Water activity tended to decreased with increasing addition of all treatments. The restructured jerkies containing glutinous rice flour, potato starch, soybean and acorn powder had lower TBARS than the control. The drying yield tended to increase with increasing amount of additives. In the sensory evaluation results, the highest overall acceptability was found in jerky containing glutinous rice flour, potato starch, and acorn powder when the addition was 9%, while that for soybean powder was determined to be 5%. These results suggest that 9% additions of glutinous rice flour, potato starch or acorn, or 5% soybean powder are optimal addition volumes for the preparation of restructured jerkies.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of red pepper seed powder on the physicochemical properties (pH, CIE color value, water holding capacity, dry yield, proximate composition, and shear force) of restructured chicken thigh jerky. The restructured chicken thigh jerky samples were prepared with the following amounts of red pepper seed powder [0% (control), 1%, 2%, and 3%]. Moisture contents of samples containing red pepper seed powder were significantly higher than those of control (P<0.05). The lightness, redness, and yellowness of samples an increased with an increase in red pepper seed powder. Water holding capacity and dry yield of samples increased with increasing concentration of red pepper seed powder. However, shear force of samples showed a downward trend with increasing red pepper seed powder level. The sensory evaluation of samples containing 3% red pepper seed powder were highest. The results indicate that red pepper seed powder could be enhance the physicochemical properties of restructured chicken thigh jerky.

Deterioration of jerky during storage is a major concern; this is usually combated with natural or synthetic antioxidants. This study aimed to evaluate the quality characteristics of semi-dried restructured jerky with and without loquat leaf extract (LE) powder and ascorbic acid (AA) during storage for 180 days. The jerkies were formulated with 0%, 0.15%, and 0.3% LE and/or 0.05% AA (Control, no antioxidant; AA, 0.05% AA; LE 0.15, 0.15% loquat LE; LE 0.15-AA, 0.15% loquat LE+0.05% AA; LE 0.3, 0.3% loquat LE; LE0.3-AA, 0.3% loquat LE+0.05% AA). LE is a phenolic compound, whose 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydarzyl radical scavenging activity and metal chelating activity were found to be higher than AA. All antioxidant combinations having higher LE concentration and containing AA were effective in delaying protein and lipid oxidation compared to the control or AA. At the end of storage period, LE 0.15-AA and AA had higher CIE a^* and lower shear force than the control. Therefore, the combination of 0.15% LE and 0.05% AA can result in reduced protein and lipid oxidation without any negative effect on the quality characteristics of semi-dried restructured jerky.

This study investigated the effects of ultra-ground seaweed powders (USP) on the physicochemical properties (proximate composition, mineral contents, pH, color, shear force, sensory evaluation, electronic nose, and electronic tongue) of restructured black goat jerky. Restructured black goat jerky was prepared using three different treatments, i.e., 3% (w/w) each of ultra-ground sea tangle (ST; Undaria pinnatifida), sea mustard (SM; Saccharina japonica), and sea string (SS; Gracilaria verrucosa) powders. Moisture and ash contents were significantly higher in the USP-treated group than in the control (p<0.05). Potassium, calcium, and zinc contents were significantly higher in the SM than in the other USP-treated groups (p<0.05). In contrast, pH values were significantly higher in the ST and SM than in the control and SS (p<0.05). CIE L^*, CIE a^*, CIE b^*, and shear force were significantly lower in the USP-treated groups than in the control (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation revealed no significant difference in taste, texture, seaweed-like odor, and goaty flavor (p<0.05). Principal component analysis (PCA) and peak graph analysis of the electronic nose showed that the SS differed the most from the control compared with the other USP-treated groups, owing to the seaweed odor of ultra-ground SS powder. The PCA and ranking analysis of the electronic tongue showed that the umami taste of the SM was higher than that of the control and other USP-treated groups. Therefore, the potassium, calcium, zinc contents, and umami taste of reconstituted black goat jerky were significantly higher in the SM than in the control and other USP-treated groups.

This study was carried to investigate effects of gamma irradiation on the moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values, color stability, texture, and sensory properties of restructured pork jerky. Restructured pork jerky was irradiated at dose levels of 0, 3, 5, 7 and 10 kGy with a use Co-60 source. There were no significant differences in the moisture, crude protein, crude lipid contents, and TBA values. However, as doses of gamma irradiation increased, the redness (a-value) of restructure pork jerky increased whereas shear force of restructure pork jerky was decreased by gamma irradiation. Sensory evaluation showed that sensory scores were reduced by gamma irradiation. Therefore, gamma irradiation could be an effective means to improve color and texture of restructured pork jerky, but only with proper consideration for sensory quality.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of chicken feet gelatin on physicochemical and sensory properties of restructured chicken jerky. Chicken feet swollen with hydrochloric solution (0.1 N HCl) were neutralized with flowing tap water, and gelatin was extracted with hot water at $75^{\circ}C$. The obtained chicken feet gelatin was dehydrated via freeze-drying. Restructured chicken jerky samples were prepared by adding the following amount of chicken feet gelatin 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%. The moisture and protein content of samples increased with an increased chicken feet gelatin. In addition, the drying yield of the samples increased with an increase in chicken feet gelatin. However, the shear force of samples significantly decreased with the increasing chicken feet gelatin content and the shear force of the control samples was the highest (P<0.05). No significant differences, except for color, were observed in the sensory analysis among the treatments. Therefore, usages of chicken feet gelatin can provide improved quality characteristics of restructured chicken jerky.

To evaluate the effect of irradiation on restructured pork jerky containing paprika and Japanese apricot extracts, the quality of protein was determined in vitro based on the formation of trypsin indigestible substrate inhibitor (TIS) and the computed protein efficiency ratio (C-PER) as determined based on the protein digestibility and amino acid analysis. In addition, we compared the effects of electron beam irradiation to those of gamma irradiation. Approximately 3% of the moisture content of pork jerky was reduced in response to irradiation with 3kGy administered using an electron beam however, no additional reduction was observed in samples that were subjected to higher doses of irradiation. In addition, there were no notable differences in the crude protein and fat content of pork jerky samples that were subjected to irradiation, regardless of dose. Furthermore, the total amino acids profiles did not change in response to electron beam irradiation. However, the in vitro protein digestibility increased by 7% in response to 3kGy of electron beam irradiation and 5kGy of gamma irradiation, but no significant changes in digestibility were not observed in response to treatment with higher doses. TIS quantified as trypsin inhibitors were formed in response to irradiation using the electron beam (3kGy) and gamma rays (5kGy), although there was a slight reduction in the production of TIS inhibitors in samples irradiated with higher doses. Moreover, only samples irradiated with 10kGy (electron beam and gamma ray) showed higher TBA values than those of the control samples. Finally, the C-PERs $(2.50{\sim}2.60)$ were greater in all of the irradiated pork jerky samples than in the control samples (2.22). Taken together, these results suggest that electron beam irradiation and the incorporation of extracts (paprika and Japanese apricot) may be useful methods of improving the nutritional quality of pork jerky.

This study was conducted to investigate the applicability of gamma irradiation for improving the quality of paprika and Japanese apricot extract-treated nitrite free pork jerky. Pork jerky was gamma-irradiated at 0, 3, 5, 7 and 10 kGy and physiochemical properties such as proximate composition, 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) values, color stability, texture, and sensory property were then evaluated. The results showed that the treatment of paprika and Japanese apricot extract to the pork jerky increased Hunter color value and texture property and at the same time decreased TBARS values. When gamma irradiated, natural pigment extract-treated pork jerky did not produce any change in its proximate composition (moisture, crude protein, crude lipid contents), and TBARS values. However, the redness (a-value) of pork jerky increased as the irradiation dose increased, whereas shear force of pork jerky was decreased. Sensory result showed that gamma irradiation induced to decrease the sensory scores. Therefore, these results suggest that gamma irradiation and the addition of paprika and Japanese apricot extracts could be an effective mean to improve color and texture of restructured pork jerky without use of nitrite.
