골격근의 longissimus dorsi근(white muscle) 및 soleus근(red muscle)과 심장근(cardiac muscle)의 근섬유간 지질의 산패량과 각종 영향인자의 첨가효과를 비교하였다. 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 지질의 산패량은 white muscle>red muscle>cardiac muscle의 순이었으나, 지질함량으로 보정된 산패량에는 white muscle과 red muscle사이에 차이가 없으며, 따라서 지질 산패량은 근육의 지질함량에만 지배받는 것으로 나타났다. 미오글로빈은 근섬유의 산패에 대하여 현저한 촉진작용을 나타내었으나, 근섬유의 함량차이(white muscle 1%, red muscle 5%)에 의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 산패 억제기능의 아질산염과 산패 촉진기능의 식염이 적정량 함유된 건조 육제품이 진공포장된 경우 지질 산패량은 전 유통기간에 걸쳐 품질저하의 주요원인이 되지 않았다.
Intramuscular lipid of longissimus dorsi muscle(white muscle), soleus muscle(red muscle) and cardiac muscle were autooxidized at $37^{circ}C$ for 20 days, and the rancidity development and the effect of various factors on rancidity development were compared. Although the myoglobin content of red muscle was about 5 times as high as that of white muscle, the degree of autooxidation occurred in intramuscular lipid did not differ between red muscle and white muscle, when they had the same lipid content. Accordingly, it was suggested that the susceptibility of muscle tissues to lipid oxidation depends mainly on the lipid content of muscle tissue, regardless of muscle types. Lipid oxidation was not a major quality deterioration for dried-pork product, when it contained adequate amount of sodium nitrite and was air-tight vacuum-packed.
