Effect of Extract of Perilla Leaves on the Quality Characteristics and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons of Charcoal Barbecued Pork Patty.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of ethanolic extracts from perilla leaves (PLE) on the quality attributes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in charcoal-barbecued pork patties. The PLE addition and doneness had no significant effect on the pH of pork patties (p>0.05).

Assessment of chicken thigh meat quality of Ross 308 broiler of animal welfare certified farm.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the difference in the thigh meat quality of Ross 308 broiler from conventional and welfare farms.

Methods: Thigh meat samples of Ross 308 broilers (age, 35 d; carcass weight, 1.1 kg) from conventional farm (RCF, n = 60) and animal welfare farms (RAWF, n = 60) were analyzed.

Effect of Marination with Black Currant Juice on the Formation of Biogenic Amines in Pork Belly during Refrigerated Storage.

The effect of marination with black currant juice (BCJ) was investigated for their effects on meat quality and content of biogenic amines (BAs) [putrescine (PUT), cadaverine (CAD), histamine (HIM), tyramine (TYM), and spermidine (SPD)] in pork belly during storage at 9°C. BCJ was shown to have antibacterial activities against and . Additionally, the pH of pork belly marinated with BCJ (PBB) was significantly lower than that of raw pork belly (RPB) during storage.

Optimization of Super-Hydrophobic Property by Two-Step Surface Modification.

The super-hydrophobic surface can be used in anti-pollution, self-cleaning, and anti-corrosive properties. Two-step surface treatment process on Al-coated glass was conducted by surface etching using potassium hydroxide (KOH) and surface coating using lauric acid for super-hydrophobic surface. The KOH-etched Al surface (1st etching) was changed to a hydrophilic property with a water contact angle (WCA) of 68° to 48°.

Preparation and Characterization of the Sputtered TiAlN Coatings Using a Ti-Al Alloy Metal Target.

Titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN) ternary coatings were deposited on glass substrates by means of reactive magnetron sputtering technique, using a Ti-Al alloy metal target (TiA). The depositions were performed at various N2 and Ar flux ratios of N₂/(Ar + N₂) ═ 33, 50, 67, 83%. The structure, morphology, chemical composition and mechanical properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and nano indenter (MTS System), respectively.

Super-Hydrophobic Properties of Aluminum Surfaces Synthesized by a Two-Step Chemical Etching Process.

In this study, super-hydrophobic coatings on Al surfaces were prepared by a two-step chemical etching process using potassium hydroxide and lauric acid as the etching solution and coating solution, respectively. The Al surface was roughened by immersion in potassium hydroxide, and an ethanolic solution of lauric acid was then coated onto the rough Al surface to lower the surface energy. The wettability and surface morphologies of the treated Al surfaces were characterized using contact angle measurement and scanning electron microscopy, respectively.

Eradication of Mycoplasma synoviae from a multi-age broiler breeder farm using antibiotics therapy.

Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) is a common respiratory pathogen in the poultry industry. Eradication of MS from broiler breeder flocks is important for reducing economic losses caused by MS-associated diseases on broiler farms. An outbreak of MS infection was detected on a multi-age Korean broiler breeder farm that implements a flock replacement program every 3 to 6 months and uses A-type cages.
