Recognizing that it is time to conduct research on cooking methods that have made humans truly human and contributed decisively to human evolution by making people the most beautiful and attractive beings, this study focused on cooking methods directly related to human evolution. The research utilized empirical findings from previous studies and various materials on cooking methods for data collection. In particular, it examined not only relevant reports, periodicals, books, and newspaper articles, but also actual cooking equipment that has been developed. As a result, this study presents practical implications with the expectation that the development of Gwangsik (光食, light-based food preparation) methods will not only contribute to the advancement of Korea’s foodservice industry but also serve as a foundation for the development of traditional Korean food culture industries and become a future growth engine that can accelerate human evolution.

Ssuk-injeolmi (쑥인절미), a traditional Korean glutinous rice cake containing Ssuk (mugwort) historically prepared by steaming, is nutritionally limited by its high glycemic index, low dietary fiber, and adhesive texture that poses dysphagia risk for elderly consumers. This study developed a modified Ssuk-injeolmi by partially substituting glutinous rice with brown rice and oat flour at four ratios (GR100, GR80, GR70, GR65) and evaluated the effects of grain substitution and cooking method (steaming vs. boiling) on colorimetric properties, texture profile, post-cooking moisture uptake, proximate composition, and predicted glycemic index. Steamed samples exhibited consistently higher lightness, greater moisture retention, and lower hardness and chewiness than boiled counterparts, attributed to more uniform starch gelatinization under indirect heat, scientifically validating steaming as the superior and traditionally appropriate cooking method for Ssuk-injeolmi. Among steamed formulations, GR70 (glutinous rice: brown rice: oat = 70:20:10) achieved the most favorable textural profile with the lowest chewiness, gumminess, and adhesiveness among substituted groups. Grain substitution progressively increased dietary fiber from 1.22 g/100 g (GR100) to 2.51 g/100 g (GR70) and reduced the predicted glycemic index from 82 to 77.6, consistent with the hypoglycemic effects of oat β-glucan and brown rice bran fiber. Caloric content remained comparable across formulations (224–235 kcal/100 g). Steamed GR70 Ssuk-injeolmi is identified as the most favorable reformulation, delivering reduced adhesiveness, more than double the dietary fiber of the control, and a lower predicted glycemic index while maintaining comparable caloric content. These findings demonstrate that evidence-based grain substitution and traditional steam cooking can synergistically improve the nutritional quality and textural safety of a culturally significant ethnic food without compromising its identity, offering a replicable reformulation framework for other traditional glutinous rice-based foods in Korean and East Asian cuisines targeting health-conscious and aging consumer populations globally.

Background Some wild and domesticated vegetables of Ibo ethnic tribe of Southeast, Nigeria, namely Piper guineense, Ocimum gratissimum, Solanum melongena L., Gongronema latifolium, Gnetum africanum and Vernonia amygdalina, have gained interest in food culinary uses due to its nutritional, antioxidant potentials and health benefts. These vegetables are rich in fber, minerals and phyto-nutrients and have signifcant health benefts against degenerative disorders. Due to these facts, cooking methods aimed at better retention of nutrients and antioxidant compounds were exploited. Methods Carefully selected fresh and shredded indigenous vegetables that are commonly used in diferent food dishes in Southeast Nigeria were cooked (blanched at 98 °C, 2 min and sauteed at 150 °C, 5 min). They were analyzed on a dry weight basis for minerals, vitamins, phytochemicals and antioxidant activity assayed by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP. Results Results exhibited wild variations showing that Ocimum gratissimum and Solanum melongena L had higher concentrations of functional minerals Zn, Fe, K and Ca. Vitamins B1 and β-carotene had higher concentrations in Solanum melongena L, Gnetum africanum and Vernonia amygdalina. Ocimum gratissimum revealed higher concentra? tions of TPC and TFC and maintains strong scavenging activity in ABTS and FRAP, while %DPPH manifested stronger activity in Solanum melongena L. Vernonia amygdalina exhibited higher phytochemicals concentrations, especially the alkaloid content. Conclusion Sauteed cooking retained more nutrients and had stronger antioxidant activity than the blanched method. Overall, these vegetables possess high concentrations of functional constituents that can make them be used to boost human nutrition and beneft the health of consumers.

Objective: The number of patients suffering from dysphagia is increasing in line with societal aging. However, preparing dysphagia diets at home or in welfare facilities is challenging due to the lack of commercially specifically designed products. The thickening agents used to prepare dysphagia meals can be difficult due to changes in viscosity and homogenization. Therefore, this study was performed to prepare dysphagia meals using commercially available foods following the classification system outlined by the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI). Methods: Commercial foods were categorized as main dishes, side dishes, and snacks. Selected foods were ground or minced, and 1-3 g of thickening agent was added. Following the IDDSI framework, fork flowability, spoon tilt, and gravity flow tests were conducted using a syringe, and based on these evaluations, texture-modified foods were classified as general, minced, ground, or liquid foods. Results: Commercial foods used in the experiment could be used in IDDSI Level 2-7 dysphagia diets after adjusting their structures. Food size and viscosities were appropriately controlled, and an usage manual was developed. Conclusion: This study successfully demonstrated the easy incorporation of commercial food products into the dysphagia diets for personal care and welfare facilities. By adopting the described approach, dysphagia patients could be provided various meal options with improved service. In addition, this study suggests possibilities for developing and producing diverse products designed specifically for dysphagia patients.

본 연구는 일반적으로 낮은 육질등급으로 유통되는 한우수소고기에 대하여 소비자 관능평가를 실시하여 사회인구학적 요인과 한국소비자들의 관능특성간에 어떠한 관계가 있는지 알아보고, 이 결과를 한국소비자들을 위한 요리방법별 부위별 맛 예측 모델을 설정하기 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 수행하였다. 24개월령 한우수소를 도축한 후 업진, 보섭, 채끝, 등심, 꾸리, 홍두깨, 목심, 설깃, 우둔, 양지부위를 분리하여 전국 소비자 650명을 대상으로 탕, 그릴 및 구이형태로 각각 조리하여 연도, 다즙성, 향미 및 전반적인 기호도를 평가한 결과 탕형태로 조리된 한우수소고기는 거주지역, 연령, 성별, 직업, 고기섭취습관 및 10개의 부위에 대한 관능특성 4가지 요인(연도, 다즙성, 향미 및 전반적인 기호도)과 모두 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 스테이크 형태인 경우 쇠고기에 대한 기호성향이 거주지역, 연령 및 식습관 등과 유의적인 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으나 직업, 가족수, 가계수입 및 부위에 따라서는 유의적인 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 구이형태인 경우 거주지역, 연령, 직업, 가계수입, 식습관 및 부위에 따라 기호도 성향에 차이가 있었다. 또한, 한우수소고기의 관능평가 결과에 대하여 주성분 분석을 실시한 결과 요리방법에 따라 연도, 다즙성, 향미 및 기호도가 부위별 관능특성에 미치는 가중치가 다른 것으로 분석되었다. 결론적으로 한국소비자들은 동일한 조건의 쇠고기일지라도 요리방법 및 부위에 따라 쇠고기 맛을 평가하는 기호도에 차이가 있었으며 이러한 점을 고려하여 부위별요리방법별 맛 예측모델을 확립한다면 한우고기를 차별화할 수 있는 유통시스템 개발이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the socio-demographic factors and the Korean consumers’ palatability evaluation and to collect the sensory information for development of prediction palatability model of Hanwoo beef. Ten cuts〔Abjin (short plate), Bosup (top sirloin), Cheggt (striploin), Dngsim (loin), Guri (chuck tender), Hongduke (eye of round), Moksim (chuck roll), Sulgit (bottom round), Udoon (top round), Yangi (brisket)〕 were separated from 10 Hanwoo bulls beef(～24 months old) and prepared with the same manner for 3 different cooking methods such as boiling, grilling and roasting. The cooked beef samples were served to 650 consumers recruited from Seoul, Joongbu, Honam and Youngnam locations and evaluated tenderness, juiciness, flavor and overall acceptability. The living location, age, gender, occupation, eating habit and cut were significantly related with the sensory properties when bull beef were cooked as boiled cooking(p<0.05). In grill cooking, only occupation, income and cut had the significant effect on the overall acceptability of Hanwoo bull beef(p<0.01). When bull beef were cooked as Korean traditional roast cooking, consumer’s sensory properties were significantly different by the living location, age, occupation, income, eating habit of consumers and cut(p<0.05). Also, results from the principal component analysis showed that palatability scores of Korean consumers were decided with different contribution scores of tenderness, juiciness, flavor and overall acceptability of cut depending on cooking methods. In conclusion, Korean consumers’ palatability for Hanwoo bull beef were related with the socio-demographic factors and the sensory results were different by cut and cooking methods.

가열방법과 포장방법이 저장기간 동안 칠면조육 패티의 지방산화(TBARS)와 콜레스테롤 산화물 함량에 미치는 효과를 조사하기 위하여, 칠면조 다리육을 분쇄하여 패티를 제조하였다. 칠면조육 패티는 5가지 가열방법(oven cooking, pan frying, deep frying, boiling, microwaving)으로 가열한 후 각각 함기포장과 진공포장한 후 저장하면서 시험에 공시하였다. 지방산패도는 함기포장과 진공포장 모두 저장초기에는 boiling 방법이 유의적으로(P<0.05) 높게 나타났으나, 저장 말기에는 microwaving 방법이 가장 높은 지방산패도를 나타내었다(P<0.05). 또한 oven cooking 방법은 전 저장기간동안 함기포장과 진공포장 모두에서 가장 낮은 지방산 패도값을 나타내었다(P<0.05). 총 콜레스테롤 산화물의 량은 전 저장기간동안 boiling 방법이 가장 낮은 함량을 나타내었고(P<0.05), microwaving 방법이 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다(P<0.05). 각각의 콜레스테롤 산화물의 함량을 보면, 7α-hydroxycholesterol은 pan frying 방법이 가장 낮은 함량을 나타내었고(P<0.05), microwaving 방법이 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다(P<0.05). α-epoxide의 량은 boiling 방법이 가장 낮은 함량을 나타내었으며, pan frying 방법에서 가장 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). β-epoxide 함량은 pan frying 방법이 가장 낮은 함량을 나타내었으며(P<0.05), deep frying 방법과 microwaving 방법에서 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다(P<0.05). 또한 7-ketocholesterol의 함량은 microwaving 방법에서 가장 높게 나타났다(P<0.05).

Turkey thigh meats with skin were ground twice through a 3-mm plate and patties were prepared. Patties were cooked using 5 different methods(oven cooking, pan frying, oil deep frying, boiling, and microwaving) to an internal temperature of 85～90℃ and packaged in either oxygen permeable PVC zipperbags or oxygen impermeable PVDC bags. The samples were analyzed for thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) and cholesterol oxidation products(COPs) after storage at 4℃. The TBARS of cooked meat increased during the storage regardless of cooking methods, vacuum packaged thigh meat produced less TBARS and COPs than the aerobically packaged samples. At the beginning of storage, aerobically packaged meat cooked by boiling method produced higher TBARS than that of others. However, the TBARS of microwaved meat with vacuum packaging increased rapidly after 3 days of storage at 4℃. The amount of total COPs in cooked thigh meat increased linearly with storage time. The level of total COPs in aerobically packaged cooked meat was higher than the vacuum-packaged meat. Microwave produced higher level of total COPs in meat than other cooking methods during storage.

The effects of ingredients added (first cutting ingredients vs. both first and second cutting ingredients), and cooking method (smoking vs. boiling) on product quality and volatile compounds were examined for low-fat and regular-fat sausages. Regular-fat sausages had slightly higher pH values (6.2-6.3) than those (6.1-6.2) of low-fat counterparts. However, the pH values of the sausages were not significantly affected by the different ingredients and cooking methods (p>0.05). Approximately 30 volatile compounds were identified from these comminuted sausages. The headspace concentrations of 4-methyl-1-[1-methylethyl]-3-cyclohexen-1-ol, - terpenyl acetate, eugenol, trans-caryophyllene and myristicine were lower in low-fat and regular-fat sausages containing the first cutting ingredients alone, than in those with both cutting ingredients. The volatile compounds of the smoked comminuted sausages were mostly phenols and hetero-compounds, and a lot of volatile compounds were shown before the retention time (RT) of 30 min. However, not many volatile compounds were detected in the boiled sausages prior to the RT of 30 min.

조선시대 의궤 15책과 고문헌 8권에 수록되어 있는 어만두에 대하여 문헌 고찰하였다. 조선시대 전기에는 1종, 중기에 2종, 후기에 15종으로 모두 18종이 소개되었다. 만두소의 재료로는 꿩, 닭, 소고기, 전복, 해삼 등이 사 용되었다. 어만두는 생선살을 얇게 저며 소를 넣고 녹말을 입힌 후 물에 삶은 것으로 현재의 ‘물만두’ 형태임을 알 수 있었다. 어만두의 크기는 작은 모시조개 크기로 만들었다. 초장에 ‘고초(苦椒)’의 사용은 「무신 진찬의 궤」(1848년)의 ‘어만두’를 시작으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 어만두에 대한 새로운 조명과 메뉴개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용되기를 바란다.

The use of 'Gocho (苦椒)' on Chojang(醋醬), starting with 'emandoo" of Muhsin jinchan Euigwe"(1848) Further study will be conducted on recipes and ingredients recorded in these Euigwe and old books in order to develop a standardized recipe to make Emandoo appealing to a global palate.

본 실험은 유탕면 조리과정 중, 가열조리방법에 따른 유탕면의 산화안정성 비교와 활성산소 및 퓨란 함량에 대한 변화를 알아보기 위하여 전자레인지와 가스레인지를 이용하여 조리하였으며, 용기뚜껑의 밀폐유무(OL, CLOA, CLCA)와 유탕면을 물에 완전 침지하는 방법으로 산소를 차단하여 조리하였다. 조리된 유탕면에서 추출한 유지를 시료로 하여 조리과정에 따라 일어나는 반응화합물에 따른 산패도를 측정하고 각종 활성산소종들 중에서 superoxide radical(O2-)과 hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)의 생성량을 측정하였다. 또한, IARC에서 2B 그룹으로 분류된 발암성 물질인 퓨란의 함량을 GC/MS를 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과, 조리과정 중에 유탕면과의 산소접촉을 차단한 경우가 산소에 노출되어 조리된 유탕면의 유지에 비하여 산패도가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 조리된 유탕면의 산가의 경우 전자레인지에서는, 용기뚜껑을 닫아 산소접촉을 최대한 차단(CLCA)하였을 때 차단하지 않고 조리한 유탕면에 비하여 약 30% 감소하였으며, 침지시켜서 조리한 경우에는 모두 1.0 mg KOH/g oil 이하의 값을 나타내었다. 가스레인지 가열의 경우에도 유탕면을 침지시켜 조리함으로써 약 32%감소하였다. 또한, 과산화물가의 경우 조리시의 산소를 차단함으로써 20-40% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 superoxide radical의 경우, 전자레인지 조리시 용기의 뚜껑을 조리하였을 때 공기구멍의 개봉 정도에 관계없이 대조구와 유의적 차이가 없었으나, 동일조건에서 물에 완전침지시켜 조리한 경우에는 전자레인지 조리는 약 5.7%, 가스레인지 가열의 경우에는 약 8.7%감소한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 H2O2의 경우에는 조리과정에서의 산소접촉량을 최대한 차단할수록 그 생성량이 낮았고, 전자레인지와 가스레인지의 가열방법에 따라 각각 약 7.6-13.5%, 4% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다 그리고 조리된 유탕면에 함유된 퓨란의 함량의 경우는 전자레인지와 가스레인지 모두에서 대조구에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로 보아, 유탕면 조리 시에 가스레인지 가열보다 산소의 접촉을 최소화한 조건(soaking-CLCA)에서 전자레인지로 가열할 경우에 활성산소 생성의 최소화와 산화안정성의 최대화를 도모할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of cooking methods (cooking apparatus and reaction level of oxygen) on the rancidity, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and furans produced while cooking deep-fired instant noodles. The sample rancidities showed a decreasing trend regardless of the cooking apparatus, as the available oxygen content in the cooking pot was reduced. In particular, soaking and then cooking using a microwave oven was found to be the most effective method to retard rancidity development. The ROS concentration after cooking had a similar trend to the rancidity. The furan concentrations of the samples significantly decreased under all cooking conditions as compared to the control, and the lowest value was 10.69 ppb for the sample cooked in a microwave oven without a cooking pot lid after soaking. The results indicate that cooking in a microwave oven with soaking was the most effective method for the oxidative stability of deep-fried instant noodles.

In this study, the total concentration and bioaccessibility of four metals (Zn, Se, Cd, Cu) in sea cucumbers (Apostichopus japonicus) before and after cooking were measured. The concentration of Zn, Se, Cd, and Cu were $22.24{\pm}0.75$, $0.75{\pm}0.06$, $0.32{\pm}0.07$, and $1.88{\pm}0.09mg/kg$ in raw cucumber, respectively. The contents of Zn, Se, and Cu in high-pressured samples were significantly higher than that in the raw sea cumber (p < 0.01). The levels of Cd were all decreased after three thermal treatments. The intake of Zn and Cu increased in sea cucumber cooked by all thermal processes. While the bioaccessibility of Se and Cd decreased after cooking. A significant correlation was observed between the concentration and bioaccessibility of minerals. These data provide useful information for dietary risk assessments of minerals in sea cucumbers.

In the present study, the ${\beta}-carotene$ contents of 14 plant food materials prepared by boiling, steaming, or baking or when they are raw were analyzed and compared. After boiling three pulse species, namely, peas, kidney beans, and dried mung beans, ${\beta}-carotene$ contents of peas and kidney beans increased significantly, whereas that of mung beans (dried material) decreased. True retention factors of ${\beta}-carotene$ contents in the cooked kidney beans, peas, and mung beans after boiling were 174.2, 128.3, and 91.8%, respectively. After steaming, the ${\beta}-carotene$ content of regular millets significantly decreased but that of taros increased, in which the true retention factors were observed with ${\beta}-carotene$ contents of 72.4% in the steamed regular millets and 160.9% in the steamed taros. Moreover, ${\beta}-carotene$ contents in yellow-fleshed sweet potato (raw: $896.2{\mu}g/100g$) decreased by baking ($786.4{\mu}g/100g$) and steaming (steaming: $553.1{\mu}g/100g$). These results suggest that ${\beta}-carotene$ contents in the selected plant food materials markedly depend on the cooking method and plant food materials classification.

Buffalo meat patties with two fat levels, F1 (15% added fat) and F2 (5% added fat and 3% tapioca starch), were cooked in a pre-heated hot air oven (HO) at $175{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, in a microwave oven (MO) for 70 sec and by pressure cooking (PC) at 15 psi pressure for 10 min. and compared for physico-chemical, processing, sensory and microbiological quality attributes. F2 had significantly (p<0.05) higher value for the moisture and moisture protein ratio than F1. However, MO and PC patties had significantly (p<0.05) higher moisture content than HO-cooked buffalo meat patties irrespective of fat content. Highest fat percentage was in MO patties while the minimum was in PC patties. Moisture and fat retention and cooking yield were highest in MO patties irrespective of added fat content in the formulation. Cooking yield and dimensional parameters were better maintained in F2 than F1. Sensory scores viz. appearance and color, flavour, juiciness and texture for HO patties were better than other cooking methods. Sensory panelists rated overall acceptability of HO patties very good to excellent, whereas PC and MO patties were rated as good to very good irrespective of fat content. Microbiological quality was comparable in both groups irrespective of cooking methods used.

Food preference of children may be determined by various lifestyle and environmental factors. This study evaluated the effect of rural or urban inhabitance, cooking methods, and frequency of exposure to vegetable dishes on the acceptance of vegetables by 452 fifth grade children. The subjects were students utilizing meal service in public elementary schools in Boryeoung-city, Chungcheong-nam-do (urban); Cheolwon-gun, Gangwondo (rural); or Pocheon-gun, Kyeonggi-do (suburban). A survey was used to determine the preference of students for 59 foods containing vegetables as a primary ingredient, and categorized by fat content (high, low, or intermediate). Children with working mothers and those living in urban areas tended to have less preference for vegetables than their counterparts in rural areas or with mothers who remained at home. Preference for vegetable foods was correlated with the frequency that vegetable foods were prepared by mothers. Vegetable dishes with a high fat content were preferred over those with low or intermediate fat content, except far soup. This study suggests that children who live in urban areas and whose mothers work outside of the home may be predisposed to nutritional deficiencies due to poor acceptance of vegetable foods, and that all children may be at risk for over-consumption of dietary fat, due to a preference for high fat foods.

This study evaluated the effect of different cooking methods including blanching, boiling, microwaving and steaming on the content of vitamins in vegetables. True retention was estimated using the yield expressed as a ratio of the weight of the cooked sample to the weight of the raw sample. The retention of vitamin C ranged from 0.0 to 91.1% for all cooked samples. Generally, higher retention of vitamin C was observed after microwaving with the lowest retention recorded after boiling. Cooked vegetables were occasionally higher contents of fat-soluble vitamins, including ${\alpha}$-tocopherol and ${\beta}$-carotene, than that of their fresh counterparts, but it depends on the type of vegetables. Microwave cooking caused the greatest loss of vitamin K in crown daisy and mallow; in contrast, it caused the least loss of vitamin K in spinach and chard. Cooking may cause changes to the contents of vitamins, but it depends on vegetables and cooking processes.

The influence of three cooking methods (stewing, microwaving and Aluminium (Al) foil-baking) was evaluated on the content of intramuscular lipid and the composition of intramuscular fatty acids of Hyla rabbit. The percentage of intramuscular lipid in cooked-longissimus dorsi (LD) (dry weight %) were in the order mentioned below: microwaving > foil-baking > stewing. All treated samples showed decrease in the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), whilst increase in the proportion of saturated (SFA) and n-6/n-3 value during processing. All of the cooked samples had the n-6/n-3 ratio within the recommended range (5-10). By the analysis of partial least squares regression (PLSR), the microwaving treatment was better to keep the stability of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), whilst the long-time Al foil-baking did the most serious damage to UFA, especially the PUFA. In addition, the heating method showed greater influence on the samples than the processing time. The shorter processing time was better to retain the intramuscular PUFA of Hyla rabbit, especially the LC-PUFAs (C20-22). Considering all the factors, microwaving showed the superiority in reserving the composition of intramuscular fatty acids of Hyla rabbit.

We investigated the effect of various cooking methods (boiling, steaming, stir-frying, and roasting) and three cooking times (5, 10, and 15 min) on the antioxidant properties of red pepper. Raw and cooked peppers were measured for proximate composition, ascorbic acid (AsA) content, total carotenoid content (TCC), total polyphenol content (TP), and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activities. Results showed that the proximate composition, AsA content, TCC, TP, and antioxidant activities were significantly (p<0.05) affected by the cooking procedure; the loss rate varied among individual compounds. Boiling and steaming significantly reduced AsA content (24.3~66.5%), TP (13.9~54.9%), and antioxidant activity (21.7~60.5%) in red pepper, while stir-frying and roasting slightly reduced AsA content (2.7~25.9%), TP (1.8~4.9%), and antioxidant activity (4.9~17.9%). The highest loss was observed after boiling, followed by steaming, roasting, and stir-frying. Stir-frying and roasting better preserved AsA content, TCC, TP, and antioxidant activity. In conclusion, dry-heat cooking methods such as stir-frying and roasting may be preferred to retain the nutrient compositions and antioxidant properties of red pepper.

This research was conducted to evaluate the effects of cooking conditions on quality characteristics of Soo-Yuk, a traditional Korean food. The cooking conditions were as follows: boiled until the core temperature of a sample in $20^{\circ}C$ cold water reached at $75^{\circ}C$ (T1); boiled until the core temperature of a sample in $90^{\circ}C$ boiling water reached at $75^{\circ}C$ (T2); and boiled with sample from $20^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$ and kept at $98^{\circ}C$ for 25 min (T3, Korean traditional method). The sample cooked at $90^{\circ}C$ water (T2) had the fast cooking time, and the highest cooking yield and moisture content. Soo-yuk boiled in $100^{\circ}C$ water (T3) showed the longest cooking time, the lowest cooking yield and moisture content, and the highest shear force. The instrumental color showed a significant difference among the cooking conditions. The sarcomere length of soo-yuk boiled in $100^{\circ}C$ water (T3) was the shortest, but the myofibrillar fragmentation index and thiamine content of the sample cooked at $90^{\circ}C$ (T2) were the highest. In sensory evaluation, the evaluation of soo-yuk boiled in $98^{\circ}C$ water (T3) was of superior flavor and overall acceptability.
