This study was conducted to compare carcass characteristics and physico-chemical meat quality in two different genotype ducks raised under identical feeding and rearing conditions. A total of ninety 1-d-old Korean native ducks (KND, n = 45) and commercial meat-type ducks (Grimaud, n = 45) were fed same experimental diets during 56 d and 42 d, respectively to obtain similar slaughter weights. The experimental diet for starter period contained 20% crude protein (CP) and 2,900 kcal nitrogen corrected true metabolizable energy (TMEn)/kg of diet and that for grower period contained 17% CP and 3,050 TMEn/kg of diet. Average daily gain and feed efficiency of KND were inferior to those of commercial meat-type ducks (p<0.05). Carcass weight was not different between two genetically different ducks, but carcass yield of KND was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of commercial meat-type ducks. There were no significant differences in cooking loss and pH of breast meat between two genetically different ducks, but water holding capacity of KND was significantly higher than that of commercial meat-type ducks. The linoleic acid and total polyunsaturated fatty acid of breast meat from KND were significantly higher (p<0.05) than the corresponding part from commercial meat-type ducks. Significant differences were detected in water holding capacity and the content of linoleic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid, which were significantly higher in KND, whereas growth performance tended to be superior in commercial ducks. At the market weight, the meat from KND was judged to have better qualities with regard to higher water holding capacity and greater content of polyunsaturated fatty acid compare with meat from commercial meat-type duck.
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of addition of green tea extracts on physicochemical properties and shelf-life of seasoned chicken with soy sauce during cold storage. Treatments (C, T1 and T2) containing various levels (0, 1 and 2%, respectively) of green tea extracts were manufactured, and we investigated pH, meat color (L * , a * , b * ), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total plate counts, fatty acid composition and sensory scores during cold storage for 16 days. T1 and T2 have more dark color than control during storage time. VBN, TBARS and total plate count of control were significantly higher than those of T1 and T2 at the latter storage time (p<0.05). Also, VBN, TBARS and total plate count of all treatments was increased with storage time. Linoleic acid was the highest value in control which had the highest value of TBARS in day 16 (p<0.05). Aroma value of control was significantly higher in storage time except day 16 than those of T1 and T2 (p<0.05). Acceptability value of control was significantly higher than those of T1 and T2 in day 4, 8 and 12 (p<0.05).(Key words : green tea extract, seasoned chicken, soy sauce) † To whom correspondence should be addressed : stjoo@gnu.ac.kr
