This study aimed to examine the effect of bird age on the contents of endogenous bioactive compounds, including carnosine, anserine, creatine, betaine, and carnitine, in meat from a certified meat-type commercial Korean native chicken strain (KNC; Woorimatdag). Additionally, the effects of the meat type (breast or leg meat) and the state of the meat (raw or cooked) were examined. Cocks of KNC w...

Microbial secondary metabolites represent a rich, chemically-diverse source of bioactive compounds that have been exploited for applications in human medicine, agriculture, and industry [1-3]. Natural product fermentation bioprocesses have remained an important tool in efforts to acquire chemical diversity in bioactive compound libraries for lead generation [4]. In recent years, natural product...
