Effects of medium voltage electrical stimulation on initial pH decline and quality parameters during ageing and frozen storage of Nellore beef. Meat Sci 2024; 212:109464. [PMID: 38412751 DOI: 10.1016/j.meatsci.2024.109464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of medium voltage electrical stimulation (ES) at three different intensities, 200 V (Treatment 200 V, T200), 300 V (Treatment 200 V, T300), and 400 V (Treatment 400 V, T400) on the initial pH decline in post mortem muscle and the quality parameters on M. longissimus thoracis - Nellore beef, both throughout the ageing process and during frozen storage. The colour, cooking loss, and shear force parameters for samples of aged beef were determined. Additional parameters, like thaw loss, pH, and lipid oxidation were also analyzed for the frozen storage. The shear force and cooking loss decreased and colour parameters increased in Nellore beef ES compared with CON on ageing time (14 days). At frozen storage, quality parameters like pH, a*, and b* were reduced over time, and no negative effect on lipid oxidation was found. Electrical stimulation at 200 V demonstrated effectiveness for decreasing shear force to Nellore beef (M. longissimus thoracis) during frozen storage. The application of medium voltage electrical stimulation can contribute to improved quality and tenderness in Nellore beef, both during ageing and frozen storage conditions.

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2024; 72:11111-11123.

Abstract
Apoptotic cells may release specific metabolites to act as messengers during the apoptotic process. This study represents the first attempt to identify potential apoptotic metabolites in postmortem muscle. Ninety potential apoptotic metabolites in beef were selected and analyzed through targeted metabolomics, with 84 of them exhibiting significant differences over the postmortem time. Following the addition of the mitochondria-targeted antiapoptotic agent mitoquinone to postmortem muscle, metabolomic analysis revealed that 73 apoptotic metabolites still underwent significant changes, even against the backdrop of altered apoptosis. Of these 73 apoptotic metabolites, 54 exhibited similar trends at various treatment times with adding mitoquinone, including lipids (6), amino acids (27), nucleosides (11), and carbohydrate and energy metabolism (10). Mitoquinone significantly reduced the levels of most apoptotic metabolites, and inhibition of apoptosis resulted in a significant decrease in the levels of numerous apoptotic metabolites. Consequently, these apoptotic metabolites are considered complementary to apoptosis in postmortem muscle, with their increased levels potentially promoting apoptosis. Noteworthy apoptotic metabolites, such as glycerol 3-phosphate, serine, AMP, ATP, GMP, and creatine, were identified as active signaling molecules that attract and recruit phagocytes during apoptosis, assisting in recognizing apoptotic cells by phagocytes. This study provides, for the first time, insights into potential apoptotic metabolites in postmortem muscle, contributing to a better understanding of meat biochemistry.

Poult Sci 2024; 103:103524. [PMID: 38377688 PMCID: PMC10891333 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of sex on meat quality and the composition of amino and fatty acids in the breast muscles of White King pigeon squabs. Untargeted metabolomics was also conducted to distinguish the metabolic composition of plasma in different sexes. Compared with male squabs, female squabs had greater intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition and lower myofiber diameter and hydroxyproline content, leading to a lower shear force. Female squabs also had higher monounsaturated fatty acid and lower n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid proportions in the breast muscle, and had greater lipogenesis capacity via upregulation of PPARγ, FAS and LPL gene expression. Moreover, female squabs had lower inosine 5'-monophosphate, essential, free and sweet-tasting amino acid contents. Furthermore, Spearman's correlations between the differential plasma metabolites and key meat parameters were assessed, and putrescine, N-acetylglutamic acid, phophatidylcholine (18:0/P-16:0) and trimethylamine N-oxide were found to contribute to meat quality. In summary, the breast meat of male squabs may have better nutritional value than that of females, but it may inferior in terms of sensory properties, which can be attributed to the lower IMF content and higher shear force value. Our findings enhance our understanding of sex variation in squab meat quality, providing a basis for future research on pigeon breeding.

Food Chem X 2024; 21:101125.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to investigate the influence of phosphoglycerate kinase-1 (PGK1) and pyruvate kinase-M2 (PKM2) activity on glycolysis, myofibrillar proteins, calpain system, and apoptosis pathways of postmortem muscle. The activity of PGK1 and PKM2 was regulated by their inhibitors and activators to construct the postmortem glycolysis vitro model and then incubated at 4 °C for 24 h. The results showed that compared to PGK1 and PKM2 inhibitors groups, the addition of PGK1 and PKM2 activators could accelerate glycogen consumption, ATP and lactate production, while declining pH value. Moreover, the addition of PGK1 and PKM2 activators could increase desmin degradation, μ-calpain activity, and caspase-3 abundance. Interestingly, troponin-T degradation was significantly increased both in PKM2 inhibitor and activator groups. It was suggested that PGK1 and PKM2 might be used as robust indicators to regulate meat quality by affecting the glycolysis, myofibrillar proteins, μ-calpain and apoptosis pathways in postmortem muscle.

Abstract
Beef is a popular meat product that can spoil and lose quality during postharvest handling and storage. This review examines different preservation methods for beef, from conventional techniques like low-temperature preservation, irradiation, vacuum packing, and chemical preservatives, to novel approaches like bacteriocin, essential oil, and non-thermal technologies. It also discusses how these methods work and affect beef quality. The review shows that beef spoilage is mainly due to enzymatic and microbial activities that impact beef freshness, texture, and quality. Although traditional preservation methods can extend beef shelf life, they have some drawbacks and limitations. Therefore, innovative preservation methods have been created and tested to improve beef quality and safety. These methods have promising results and potential applications in the beef industry. However, more research is needed to overcome the challenges and barriers for their commercialization. This review gives a comprehensive and critical overview of the current and emerging preservation methods for beef and their implications for the beef supply chain.

Genome-wide scans identify biological and metabolic pathways regulating carcass and meat quality traits in beef cattle. Meat Sci 2024; 209:109402. [PMID: 38056170 DOI: 10.1016/j.meatsci.2023.109402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
Genome association studies (GWAS) provides knowledge about the genetic architecture of beef-related traits that allow linking the target phenotype to genomic information aiding breeding decision. Thus, the present study aims to uncover the genetic mechanism involved in carcass (REA: rib eye area, BF: backfat thickness, and HCW: hot carcass weight) and meat quality traits (SF: shear-force, MARB: marbling score, and IMF: intramuscular fat content) in Nellore cattle. For this, 6910 young bulls with phenotypic information and 23,859 animals genotyped with 435 k markers were used to perform the weighted single-step GBLUP (WssGBLUP) approach, considering two iterations. The top 10 genomic regions explained 8.13, 11.81, and 9.58% of the additive genetic variance, harboring a total of 119, 143, and 95 positional candidate genes for REA, BF, and HCW, respectively. For meat quality traits, the top 10 windows explained a large proportion of the total genetic variance for SF (14.95%), MARB (17.56%), and IMF (21.41%) surrounding 92, 155, and 111 candidate genes, respectively. Relevant candidate genes (CAST, PLAG1, XKR4, PLAGL2, AQP3/AQP7, MYLK2, WWOX, CARTPT, and PLA2G16) are related to physiological aspects affecting growth, carcass, meat quality, feed intake, and reproductive traits by signaling pathways controlling muscle control, key signal metabolic molecules INS / IGF-1 pathway, lipid metabolism, and adipose tissue development. The GWAS results provided insights into the genetic control of the traits studied and the genes found are potential candidates to be used in the improvement of carcass and meat quality traits.

Abstract
Color plays a pivotal role in guiding and assessing the industrial production of aquatic products due to the swift sensory perception of information through vision. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the following four aspects: (a) mechanisms governing natural color formation in aquatic products, (b) factors and mechanisms contributing to the discoloration of aquatic products, (c) cutting-edge methods for color analysis and detection, and (d) current valuable techniques for preserving color quality. The natural color of aquatic products is derived from skin chromatophores, endogenous pigment proteins, and astaxanthin. Discoloration of aquatic products can occur due to lipid oxidation, as well as enzymatic and non-enzymatic browning. Furthermore, this review examines frontier color protective technologies, encompassing physical methods like ultra-high pressure, irradiation, and low-temperature plasma, as well as chemical methods involving natural preservatives. The findings of this study offer significant insights into the development of high-quality aquatic products.

Abstract
Protein degradation and oxidation are two major alterations during the storage of processed bighead carp fillets. This study conducted a comparative analysis of degraded and oxidized products as well as oxidation sites in fresh, frozen and brined frozen bighead carp fillets. Frozen storage played a dominant role in protein degradation and oxidation, and brining promoted these changes. In brined frozen samples, the decreased SDS-PAGE band intensities for tropomyosin, troponin, and myosin light chain were mainly due to their degradation. Myosin heavy chain fast skeletal muscle was the most oxidized and degraded protein during storage, with modifications such as monooxidation, protein-lipid peroxidation adducts, and α-aminoadipic semialdehydes formation. Amino acids in the tail portion of myosin were prone to oxidation than the head portions. Our results provided comprehensive insights into protein degradation and oxidation in bighead carp during storage, helping to assess the specific fate of oxidative products in future dietary investigations.

Abstract
In order to investigate the influences of modified RAE-based film on shrimp quality, the proteomic approach was performed to elucidate preservation mechanism. Results showed that the modified RAE-based film kept better shrimp quality compared with natural RAE-based film in terms of determined biochemical parameters and estimated shelf-life. Totally, 49 differentially abundance proteins (DAPs) were identified compared with shrimp without packaging. Bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that the modified RAE-based film could maintain functional DAPs which were mainly distributed in the binding, catalytic activity, etc., and metabolic signaling pathways like melanogenesis signaling pathway were remarkably enriched. Meanwhile, there were 25 DAPs showing close relationship with quality traits, and some of them, such as myosin chains, troponin I and heat shock protein were considered as the potential biomarkers to evaluate shrimp quality deterioration. In conclusion, this study revealed the preservation mechanism of modified RAE-based active film on shrimp quality at the protein molecular level.

Abstract
Preservatives are added as antimicrobial agents to extend the shelf life of meat. Adding preservatives to meat products can affect their flavor and nutrition. This review clarifies the effects of preservatives on metabolic pathways and network molecular transformations in meat products based on lipidomics, metabolomics and proteomics analyses. Preservatives change the nutrient content of meat products via altering ionic strength and pH to influence enzyme activity. Ionic strength in salt triggers muscle triglyceride hydrolysis by causing phosphorylation and lipid droplet splitting in adipose tissue hormone-sensitive lipase and triglyceride lipase. DisoLipPred exploiting deep recurrent networks and transfer learning can predict the lipid binding trend of each amino acid in the disordered region of input protein sequences, which could provide omics analyses of biomarkers metabolic pathways in meat products. While conventional meat quality assessment tools are unable to elucidate the intrinsic mechanisms and pathways of variables in the influences of preservatives on the quality of meat products, the promising application of omics techniques in food analysis and discovery through multimodal learning prediction algorithms of neural networks (e.g., deep neural network, convolutional neural network, artificial neural network) will drive the meat industry to develop new strategies for food spoilage prevention and control.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the effects of preslaughter transport stress on protein S-nitrosylation levels and S-nitrosylated proteome in post-mortem pork longissimus thoracis (LT) muscle. Pigs (N= 16) were randomly divided into 3 h transport (high-stress group, HS) and 3 h transport followed by 3 h resting treatments (low-stress control group, LS). Results demonstrated that high transport stress levels induced nitric oxide (NO) overproduction by promoting NO synthase (NOS) activity and neuronal NOS (nNOS) expression, which thereby notably increased protein S-nitrosylation levels in post-mortem muscle (p < 0.05). Proteomic analysis indicated that 133 S-nitrosylation-modified cysteines belonging to 85 proteins were significantly differential, of which 101 cysteines of 63 proteins were higher in the HS group (p < 0.05). Differential proteins including cytoskeletal and calcium-handling proteins, glycolytic enzymes, and oxidoreductase were mainly involved in the regulation of muscle contraction and energy metabolism that might together mediate meat quality development. Overall, this study provided direct evidence for changes in S-nitrosylation levels and proteome in post-mortem muscle in response to preslaughter transport stress and revealed the potential impact of S-nitrosylated proteins on meat quality.

Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between tenderness and protein phosphorylation levels of normal ultimate pH (pHu, 5.4-5.8, NpHu), intermediate pHu (5.8-6.2, IpHu) and high pHu (≥6.2, HpHu) Longissimus lumborum from beef. During 21 d of ageing, the HpHu group had the lowest Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) values, while the IpHu group showed the highest and even after 21 days of ageing still had high levels. In the late stage of the 24 h post-mortem period the faster degradation rate of troponin T and earlier activation of caspase 9 in the HpHu group were the key reasons for the lower WBSF compared with the NpHu and IpHu groups. The activity of caspase 3 cannot explain the tenderness differences between IpHu and HpHu groups, since their activities did not show any difference. At 24 h post-mortem, 17 common differential phosphorylated peptides were detected among pHu groups, of which nine were associated with pHu and WBSF. The higher phosphorylation level of glycogen synthase may have caused the delay of meat tenderization in the IpHu group.

Abstract
Sheep and goat meats are increasingly popular worldwide due to their superior nutritional properties and distinctive flavor profiles. In recent decades, substantial progress in meat science has facilitated in-depth examinations of ovine and caprine muscle development during the antemortem phase, as well as post-mortem changes influencing meat attributes. To elucidate the intrinsic molecular mechanisms and identify potential biomarkers associated with meat quality, the methodologies employed have evolved from traditional physicochemical parameters (such as color, tenderness, water holding capacity, flavor, and pH) to some cutting-edge omics technologies, including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics approaches. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of multi-omics techniques and their applications in unraveling sheep and goat meat quality attributes. In addition, the challenges and future perspectives associated with implementing multi-omics technologies in this area of study are discussed. Multi-omics tools can contribute to deciphering the molecular mechanism responsible for the altered the meat quality of sheep and goats across transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic dimensions. The application of multi-omics technologies holds great potential in exploring and identifying biomarkers for meat quality and quality control, thereby promoting the optimization of production processes in the sheep and goat meat industry.

Abstract
Consumers are increasingly demanding high-quality mutton. Cross breeding can improve meat quality and is widely used in sheep breeding. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of cross breeding sheep meat quality. In this study, male Southdown and female Hu sheep were hybridized. The slaughter performance and longissimus dorsi quality of the 6-month-old hybrid offspring were measured, and the longissimus dorsi of the hybrid offspring was analyzed by transcriptomics and metabolomics to explore the effect of cross breeding on meat quality. The results showed that the production performance of Southdown × Hu F1 sheep was significantly improved, the carcass fat content was significantly decreased, and the eating quality of Southdown × Hu F1 sheep were better. Compared with the HS group (Hu × Hu), the NH group (Southdown × Hu) had 538 differentially expressed genes and 166 differentially expressed metabolites (P < 0.05), which were significantly enriched in amino acid metabolism and other related pathways. Up-regulated genes METTL21C, PPARGC1A and down-regulated gene WFIKKN2 are related to muscle growth and development. Among them, the METTL21C gene, which is related to muscle development, was highly correlated with carnosine, a metabolite related to meat quality (correlation > 0.6 and P < 0.05). Our results provide further understanding of the molecular mechanism of cross breeding for sheep muscle growth and meat quality optimization.

Abstract
The purpose of this experiment was to explore the effects of zinc supplementation in breeding pigeons diet on carcass traits, meat quality, antioxidant capacity and mRNA expressions of myogenic regulatory factors of squabs. A total of 120 healthy White King pigeons were randomly assigned to 5 treatments, each involving 8 replicates. The experiment lasted for 46 d (18-d incubation period of eggs and 28-d growth period of squabs). The 5 groups were 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 mg/kg zinc addition. Results showed that the 28-d body weight, breast muscle yield, zinc content in crop milk and myogenic factor 6 (MyF6) abundance of breast muscle were linearly increased (P < 0.050), but the abdominal fat yield linearly decreased (P = 0.040) with increasing dietary zinc supplementation. Both the linear (P < 0.050) and quadratic responses (P < 0.001) were observed in copper zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in liver and breast muscle. The 28-d body weight was increased by 90 mg/kg zinc supplementation (P < 0.05), and there is no significant difference between 90 and 120 mg/kg zinc addition. The breast muscle yield, Cu-Zn SOD and T-AOC contents in breast muscle and liver, zinc contents in crop milk and breast muscle, MyF6 mRNA expression in breast muscle were higher (P < 0.05) in the group supplemented with 120 mg/kg zinc than the control. The abdominal fat yield was numerically lowest, and MDA contents in breast muscle and liver were significantly lowest in the group fed 120 mg/kg zinc (P < 0.05). However, the meat quality traits were not affected (P > 0.05) by zinc supplementation, except for shear force. It should be stated dietary zinc supplementation at the level of 120 mg/kg for breeding pigeons increased body weight and breast muscle yield of squabs, which may be associated with the up-regulating MyF6 mRNA expression and antioxidant capacity in liver and breast muscle.

Abstract
With rapid advances in meat science in recent decades, changes in meat quality during the pre-slaughter phase of muscle growth and the post-slaughter process from muscle to meat have been investigated. Commonly used techniques have evolved from early physicochemical indicators such as meat color, tenderness, water holding capacity, flavor, and pH to various omic tools such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to explore fundamental molecular mechanisms and screen biomarkers related to meat quality and taste characteristics. This review highlights the application of omics and integrated multi-omics in meat quality and taste characteristics studies. It also discusses challenges and future perspectives of multi-omics technology to improve meat quality and taste. Consequently, multi-omics techniques can elucidate the molecular mechanisms responsible for changes of meat quality at transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome levels. In addition, the application of multi-omics technology has great potential for exploring and identifying biomarkers for meat quality and quality control that can make it easier to optimize production processes in the meat industry.

Abstract
The filamin C (FLNC) was hypothesized to be colocalized with its certain binding partners in pork tissues and calpain as well as caspase was assumed responsible for the postmortem degradation of FLNC. Therefore, the specific distribution of pork FLNC and its degradation pattern during postmortem aging were investigated in this study. The longissimus thoracis muscles from 12 pigs were removed from the carcasses and then aged at 4 °C for 1, 6, 12, 24, 72, and 168 h, respectively. The FLNC signals appeared to localize in subsarcolemmal areas by cross-sectional images, while the localization was found surrounding the myofibrils at the level of the Z-discs in longitudinal sections. FLNC displayed a highly overlapped spatial colocalization with actin or integrin. Western blot results showed that the intact 290 kDa FLNC was rapidly degraded to produce an approximately 280 kDa band. An almost overlapped distribution pattern was observed between FLNC and μ-calpain or caspase-3 in porcine skeletal muscle cells. Moreover, both the μ-calpain inhibitor and the caspase-3 inhibitor could inhibit the degradation of FLNC in porcine LT muscles during postmortem aging.

Abstract
Myofibrillar protein degradation is primarily related to meat tenderness through protein phosphorylation regulation. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), a glycolytic rate-limiting enzyme, is also regarded as a protein kinase to catalyze phosphorylation. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between myofibrillar protein degradation and phosphorylation induced by PKM2. Myofibrillar proteins were incubated with PKM2 at 4, 25, and 37 °C. The global phosphorylation level of myofibrillar proteins in the PKM2 group was significantly increased, but it was sensitive to temperature (P < 0.05). Compared with 4 and 25 °C, PKM2 significantly increased the myofibrillar protein phosphorylation level from 0.5 to 6 h at 37 °C (P < 0.05). In addition, the degradation of desmin and actin was inhibited after they were phosphorylated by PKM2 when incubated at 37 °C. These results demonstrate that phosphorylation of myofibrillar proteins catalyzed by PKM2 inhibited protein degradation and provided a possible pathway for meat tenderization through glycolytic enzyme regulation.

Abstract
To investigate the possible degradation of the intramuscular connective tissue (IMCT) with cathepsin L, isolated IMCTs were incubated with purified cathepsin L in vitro. Here, we prepared purified cathepsin L from bovine pancreas by using DEAE Sephacel, Sephacryl S-100 HR, SP Sepharose FF, and con A-Sepharose affinity chromatography in sequence. An SDS-PAGE analysis of CNBr-digested peptides showed that the degradation of collagen in IMCT could take place on terminal non-helical peptides rather than the triple helix region. Decorin (DCN) was clearly degraded at a pH of 5.0. The TP and TO of intramuscular connective tissue decreased to 41.41 °C and 43.79 °C, respectively. In the cathepsin L treatment of pH 5.0, the decreases in the TP and TO of IMCT were more sensitive than they were at pH 5.5~6.5.

Abstract
Meat quality holds significant importance for both consumers and meat producers. Various factors influence meat quality, and among them, mitochondria play a crucial role. Recent studies have indicated that mitochondria can sustain their functions and viability for a certain duration in postmortem muscles. Consequently, mitochondria have an impact on oxygen consumption, energy metabolism, and apoptotic processes, which in turn affect myoglobin levels, oxidative stress, meat tenderness, fat oxidation, and protein oxidation. Ultimately, these factors influence the color, tenderness, and flavor of meat. However, there is a dearth of comprehensive summaries addressing the effects of mitochondria on postmortem muscle physiology and meat quality. Therefore, this review aims to describe the characteristics of muscle mitochondria and their potential influence on muscle. Additionally, a suitable method for isolating mitochondria is presented. Lastly, the review emphasizes the regulation of oxygen consumption, energy metabolism, and apoptosis by postmortem muscle mitochondria, and provides an overview of relevant research and recent advancements. The ultimate objective of this review is to elucidate the underlying mechanisms through which mitochondria impact meat quality.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:3444-3477.

Abstract
Myofibrillar protein (MP) endows muscle foods with texture and important functional properties, such as water-holding capacity (WHC) and emulsifying and gel-forming abilities. However, thawing deteriorates the physicochemical and structural properties of MPs, significantly affecting the WHC, texture, flavor, and nutritional value of muscle foods. Thawing-induced physicochemical and structural changes in MPs need further investigation and consideration in the scientific development of muscle foods. In this study, we reviewed the literature for the thawing effects on the physicochemical and structural characters of MPs to identify potential associations between MPs and the quality of muscle-based foods. Physicochemical and structural changes of MPs in muscle foods occur because of physical changes during thawing and microenvironmental changes, including heat transfer and phase transformation, moisture activation and migration, microbial activation, and alterations in pH and ionic strength. These changes are not only essential inducements for changes in spatial conformation, surface hydrophobicity, solubility, Ca2+ -ATPase activity, intermolecular interaction, gel properties, and emulsifying properties of MPs but also factors causing MP oxidation, characterized by thiols, carbonyl compounds, free amino groups, dityrosine content, cross-linking, and MP aggregates. Additionally, the WHC, texture, flavor, and nutritional value of muscle foods are closely related to MPs. This review encourages additional work to explore the potential of tempering techniques, as well as the synergistic effects of traditional and innovative thawing technologies, in reducing the oxidation and denaturation of MPs and maintaining the quality of muscle foods.

Abstract
This study compared the caspase levels and myofibrillar protein degradation of longissimus thoracis muscles between the two groups with varying extents of tenderization during postmortem aging to investigate the cause of tenderness variation between aged beef from Holstein-Friesian steers. The change value (CV) of Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBS) was determined as the difference in WBS between 0 and 14 d of aging. The higher change (HC) value group exhibited lower WBS and higher initial tenderness values than the lower change (LC) value group aged 14 and 28 d (P < 0.05), even though there was no difference between the CV groups aged 0 d (P > 0.05). The higher tenderness improvement in the HC group at 14 d might be related to the lower cytochrome C and caspase values and higher degradation of desmin and troponin T compared to the LC group (P < 0.05).

Abstract
(1) Background: Goose meat is highly valued for its economic significance and vast market potential due to its desirable qualities, including a rich nutritional profile, tender texture, relatively low-fat content, and high levels of beneficial unsaturated fatty acids. However, there is an urgent need to improve goose breeding by identifying molecular markers associated with meat quality. (2) Methods: We evaluated meat quality traits, such as meat color, shear force (SF), cooking loss rate (CLR), and crude fat content (CFC), in a population of 215 male Sichuan white geese at 70 days of age. A GWAS was performed to identify potential molecular markers associated with goose meat quality. Furthermore, the selected SNPs linked to meat quality traits were genotyped using the MALDI-TOP MS method. (3) Results: A dataset of 2601.19 Gb of WGS data was obtained from 215 individuals, with an average sequencing depth of 10.89×. The GWAS revealed the identification of 43 potentially significant SNP markers associated with meat quality traits in the Sichuan white goose population. Additionally, 28 genes were identified as important candidate genes for meat quality. The gene enrichment analysis indicated a substantial enrichment of genes within a 1Mb vicinity of SNPs in both the protein digestion and absorption pathway and the Glycerolipid metabolism pathway. (4) Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying goose meat quality traits, offering crucial references for molecular breeding in this field.

Abstract
Lipids in foods are sensitive to various environmental conditions. Under light or high temperatures, free radicals could be formed due to lipid oxidation, leading to the formation of unstable food system. Proteins are sensitive to free radicals, which could cause protein oxidation and aggregation. Protein aggregation significantly affects protein physicochemical characteristics and biological functions, such as digestibility, foaming characteristics, and bioavailability, further reducing the edible and storage quality of food. This review provided an overview of lipid oxidation in foods; its implications on protein oxidation; and the assessment methods of lipid oxidation, protein oxidation, and protein aggregation. Protein functions before and after aggregation in foods were compared, and a discussion for future research on lipid or protein oxidation in foods was presented.

Abstract
Palm kernel meal (PKM) has been shown to be a high-quality protein source in ruminant feeds. This study focused on the effects of feed, supplemented with different amounts of PKM (ZL-0 as blank group, and ZL-15, ZL-18, and ZL-21 as treatment group), on the quality and flavor profile of Tibetan sheep meat. Furthermore, the deposition of beneficial metabolites in Tibetan sheep and the composition of rumen microorganisms on underlying regulatory mechanisms of meat quality were studied based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry as well as 16S rDNA sequencing. The results of the study showed that Tibetan sheep in the ZL-18 group exhibited superior eating quality and flavor profile while depositing more protein and fat relative to the other groups. The ZL-18 group also changed significantly in terms of the concentration and metabolic pathways of meat metabolites, as revealed by metabolomics. Metabolomics and correlation analyses finally showed that PKM feed mainly affected carbohydrate metabolism in muscle, which in turn affects meat pH, tenderness, and flavor. In addition, 18% of PKM increased the abundance of Christensenellaceae R-7 group, Ruminococcaceae UCG-013, Lachnospiraceae UCG-002, and Family XIII AD3011 group in the rumen but decreased the abundance of Prevotella 1; the above bacteria groups regulate meat quality by regulating rumen metabolites (succinic acid, DL-glutamic acid, etc.). Overall, the addition of PKM may improve the quality and flavor of the meat by affecting muscle metabolism and microorganisms in the rumen.

Abstract
Introduction The increase in availability and nutritional composition of oilseed co-products has made it essential to study the use of this biomass. Methods The objective of this work was to investigate the effects of including oilseed cakes on intake and digestibility, performance, carcass characteristics and meat sensory in feedlot lambs. Twenty-four crossbred Dorper × Santa Inês lambs, with initial body weight of 30 ± 1.3 kg, male, castrated, aged 4-5 months, were distributed in a completely randomized experimental design with four treatments (diets) and six replications (animals), confined in individual stalls for 70 days. Results The inclusion of tucuma cake (Tuc) reduced dry matter intake (p < 0.01) and diets with cupuassu cake (Cup) and palm kernel cake (Palm) reduced dry matter digestibility (p < 0.05). The Tuc diet also provided the lowest final body weight (p = 0.02); lower average daily gain (p = 0.03); lower feed efficiency (p = 0.03) and lower carcass weight (p < 0.01). However, diets did not influence carcass yield (%), fat thickness (mm) and loin eye area (cm2; p > 0.05). Meat from lambs on the control diet was rated as less fibrous and more tender (p < 0.05). Conclusion The inclusion of tucuma cake does not influence digestibility, but reduces intake, performance and influences carcass characteristics and meat texture. Diets with cupuassu cake or palmiste cake reduced digestibility, however, intake, performance and carcass characteristics were similar to the control diet.

Abstract
Papain, bromelain, and ficin are commonly used plant proteases used for meat tenderization. Other plant proteases explored for meat tenderization are actinidin, zingibain, and cucumin. The application of plant crude extracts or powders containing higher levels of compounds exerting tenderizing effects is also gaining popularity due to lower cost, improved sensory attributes of meat, and the presence of bioactive compounds exerting additional benefits in addition to tenderization, such as antioxidants and antimicrobial effects. The uncontrolled plant protease action could cause excessive tenderization (mushy texture) and poor quality due to an indiscriminate breakdown of proteins. The higher cost of separation and the purification of enzymes, unstable structure, and poor stability of these enzymes due to autolysis are some major challenges faced by the food industry. The meat industry is targeting the recycling of enzymes and improving their stability and shelf-life by immobilization, encapsulation, protein engineering, medium engineering, and stabilization during tenderization. The present review critically analyzed recent trends and the prospects of the application of plant proteases in meat tenderization.

Abstract
Over the last decade, sono-activation of enzymes as an emerging research area has received considerable attention from food researchers. This kind of relatively new application of ultrasound has demonstrated promising potential in facilitating the modern food industry by broadening the application of various food enzymes, improving relevant industrial unit operation and productivity, as well as increasing the yield of target products. This review aims to provide insight into the fundamental principles and possible industrialization strategies of the sono-activation of food enzymes to facilitate its commercialization. This review first provides an overview of ultrasound application in the activation of food protease, carbohydrase, and lipase. Then, the recent development on ultrasound activation of food enzymes is discussed on aspects including mechanisms, influencing factors, modification effects, and its applications in real food systems for free and immobilized enzymes. Despite the far fewer studies on sono-activation of immobilized enzymes compared with those on free enzymes, we endeavored to summarize the relevant aspects in three stages: ultrasound pretreatment of free enzyme/carrier, assistance in immobilization process, and modification of the already immobilized enzyme. Lastly, challenges for the scalability of ultrasound in these target areas are discussed and future research prospects are proposed.

A Comparative Study on the Meat Quality, Taste and Aroma Related Compounds between Korean Hanwoo and Chikso Cattle. Foods 2023; 12:foods12040805. [PMID: 36832880 PMCID: PMC9956978 DOI: 10.3390/foods12040805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the meat quality and taste-and-aroma-related components of beef between breeds. For this purpose, Hanwoo and Chikso steers (n = 7 per breed) raised under identical conditions until 30 months old were used. After 24 h of slaughter, longissimus lumborum (LL) and semimembranosus (SM) muscles were collected and analyzed for technological quality, free amino acids, metabolites, and volatile compounds. The Chikso meat showed lower values for shear force and color traits (lightness, redness, and yellowness) compared to Hanwoo (p < 0.05). The Chikso presented a higher amount of sweetness-related free amino acids (alanine, proline, and threonine) in the LL muscle, while Hanwoo had a higher amount of methionine and glutamine associated with umami taste (p < 0.05). A total of 36 metabolites were identified and quantified in the meat samples; out of them, 7 compounds were affected by breed (p < 0.05). Regarding aroma compounds, a significantly higher amount of fat-derived aldehydes associated with fatty and sweet notes was found in Hanwoo, whereas a higher amount of pyrazines associated with roasty notes was found in Chikso (p < 0.05). Thus, under identical feeding conditions, breed showed a significant effect on the quality and taste-and-aroma-related components that may influence the eating quality of beef between the two breeds studied.

[PMID: 36455832 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2022.104770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Considering the high relevance of meat tenderness for consumer acceptability, the aim of this study was to investigate post-mortem changes in myofibrillar sub-proteome in steaks from longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle of six Hispano-Bretón horses. Indeed, the ageing process that leads to meat tenderization has been scarcely studied in this species. Steaks (n = 24) were aged (4 °C) in the dark under vacuum for 0, 7, 14 and 21 days and the myofibrillar sub-proteome was extracted. Using 2-D DIGE minimal labelling, 35 spots that were differentially abundant between 0 and 21 days aged meat were detected. Of them, 24 were analysed by LC-MS/MS, identifying a total of 29 equine proteins. These were structural and metabolic proteins, and among them, four (Actin, Troponin T and Myosin binding proteins 1 and 2) were selected for Western blot analysis, reporting changes in their abundance after 0, 7, 14 and 21 days of ageing. Results revealed that they should be further studied as potential protein biomarkers of horse meat tenderization. Additionally, several protein fragments increased after ageing, as was the case of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Fragments of this protein were present in four protein spots, and their study could be useful for monitoring horse meat tenderization. SIGNIFICANCE: Tenderization during ageing has been widely studied in meat from several farm animal species; however, both research and standardized ageing practices are lacking for the particular case of horse meat. In this regard, this study presents novel proteomic findings related to post-mortem evolution of horse muscle proteins. Acquired knowledge would support the development and optimization of efficient ageing practices by horse meat industry.

Abstract
In this study, we evaluate the most recently applied emerging non-thermal technologies (NTT) to improve meat tenderization, high-intensity ultrasound (HIUS), and high-pressure processing (HPP), aiming to understand if individual effects are beneficial and how extrinsic and intrinsic factors influence meat toughness. We performed a systematic literature search and meta-analysis in four databases (Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and PubMed). Among the recovered articles (n = 192), 59 studies were included. We found better sonication time in the range of 2-20 min. Muscle composition significantly influences HIUS effects, being type IIb fiber muscles more difficult to tenderize (p < 0.05). HPP effects are beneficial to tenderization at 200-250 MPa and 15-20 min, being lower and higher conditions considered inconclusive, tending to tenderization. Despite these results, undesirable physicochemical, microstructural, and sensory alterations are still unknown or represent barriers against applying NTT at the industrial level. Optimization studies and more robust analyses are suggested to enable its future implementation. Moreover, combining NTT with plant enzymes demonstrates an interesting alternative to improve the tenderization effect caused by NTT. Therefore, HIUS and HPP are promising technologies for tenderization and should be optimized considering time, intensity, pressure, muscle composition, undesirable changes, and combination with other methods.

Abstract
Meat processing represents an inevitable part of meat and meat products preparation for human consumption. Both thermal and non-thermal processing techniques, both commercial and domestic, are able to induce chemical and muscle's proteins modification which can have implication on oxidative and sensory meat characteristics. Consumers' necessity for minimally processed foods has paved a successful way to unprecedented exploration into various novel non-thermal food processing techniques. Processing of meat can have serious implications on its nutritional profile and digestibility of meat proteins in the digestive system. A plethora of food processing techniques can potentially induce alterations in the protein structure, palatability, bioavailability and digestibility via various phenomena predominantly denaturation and Maillard reaction. Apart from these, sensory attributes such as color, crispness, hardness, and total acceptance get adversely affected during various thermal treatments in meat. A major incentive in the adoption of non-thermal food processing is its energy efficiency. Considering this, several non-thermal processing techniques have been developed for evading the effects of conventional thermal treatments on food materials with respect to Maillard reactions, color changes, and off-flavor development. Few significant non-thermal processing techniques, such as microwave heating, comminution, and enzyme addition can positively affect protein digestibility as well as enhance the value of the final product. Furthermore, ultrasound, irradiation, high-pressure processing, and pulsed electric fields are other pivotal non-thermal food processing technologies in meat and meat-related products. The present review examines how different thermal and non-thermal processing techniques, such as sous-vide, microwave, stewing, roasting, boiling, frying, grilling, and steam cooking, affect meat proteins, chemical composition, oxidation, and sensory profile.

Abstract
The increasing need for effective analytical tools to evaluate beef quality has prompted the development of new procedures to improve the animal sector's performance. In this study, three beef breeds-Thai native (TN), crossbred Brahman × Thai native (BT), and crossbred Charolais × Brahman (CB)-were compared in terms of their physicochemical and metabolic profiles. The findings demonstrated that TN beef was lighter and tougher than other beef. Beef odor was stronger in BT. In addition, CB beef was the most tender and had the highest intramuscular fat content. Twenty-one different metabolites were found overall through NMR and chemometric approaches. The primary factors contributing to the difference in OPLS-DA loading plots were acetylcholine, valine, adenine, leucine, phosphocreatine, β-hydroxypyruvate, ethanol, adenosine diphosphate, creatine, acetylcholine, and lactate. The multivariate analysis indicated that these metabolites in beef cattle breeds could be distinguished using NMR spectroscopy. The results of this study provide valuable information on the quality and meat metabolites of different breeds. This could help in the development of a more accurate assessment of the quality of beef in future research.

Abstract
Freezing can prolong the shelf life of muscle foods and is widely used in their preservation. However, inevitable quality deterioration can occur during freezing, frozen storage, and thawing. This review explores the eating quality deterioration characteristics (color, water holding capacity, tenderness, and flavor) and mechanisms (irregular ice crystals, oxidation, and hydrolysis of lipids and proteins) of frozen muscle foods. It also summarizes and classifies the novel physical-field-assisted-freezing technologies (high-pressure, ultrasound, and electromagnetic) and bioactive antifreeze (ice nucleation proteins, antifreeze proteins, natural deep eutectic solvents, carbohydrate, polyphenol, phosphate, and protein hydrolysates), regulating the dynamic process from water to ice. Moreover, some novel thermal and nonthermal thawing technologies to resolve the loss of water and nutrients caused by traditional thawing methods were also reviewed. We concluded that the physical damage caused by ice crystals was the primary reason for the deterioration in eating quality, and these novel techniques promoted the eating quality of frozen muscle foods under proper conditions, including appropriate parameters (power, time, and intermittent mode mentioned in ultrasound-assisted techniques; pressure involved in high-pressure-assisted techniques; and field strength involved in electromagnetic-assisted techniques) and the amounts of bioactive antifreeze. To obtain better quality frozen muscle foods, more efficient technologies and substances must be developed. The synergy of novel freezing/thawing technology may be more effective than individual applications. This knowledge may help improve the eating quality of frozen muscle foods.

Bibliometric Analysis of Research on the Main Genes Involved in Meat Tenderness. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12212976.

Abstract
Simple Summary A bibliometric analysis was carried out to know the evolution of research on genes associated with meat tenderness, of interest for the development of selection programs. Since 1993, studies have been limited to a few researchers in high-income countries due to the costs associated with the techniques. The main findings showed that the scientific production had a discontinuous growth because science experienced a significant change since approximately 2010. Marker-assisted selection was widely used, evaluating mainly CAPN (calpain) and CAST (calpastatin) genes for their contribution to meat tenderness, especially in cattle. However, the effects are small; therefore, genomic selection was implemented by genotyping thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for further explanation of genetic variation. The results shown are important for scholars to identify emerging methodologies and gaps in the literature and to know who the prolific authors and institutions in the field for possible collaborations, etc., are. Abstract Tenderness is one of the main characteristics of meat because it determines its price and acceptability. This is the first bibliometric study on the trend of research on the role of genes in meat tenderness. A total of 175 original and English-language articles published up to 2021 were retrieved from Scopus. The bibliometric analysis was carried out with VOSviewer (version 1.6.18, Eck and Waltman, Leiden, Netherlands) and complemented with the Analyze search results service from Scopus. Erroneous and duplicate data were eliminated, and incomplete information was added to standardize the results. Scientific production was evaluated by means of quantity, quality and structure indicators. As a first glance, 8.816% of authors have published more than 50% of papers mainly related to genes encoding the calpain (CAPN)-calpastatin (CAST) system and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Among other findings, a strong link was found between the contribution of the main countries (led by the United States with) and their institutions (led by the USDA Agricultural Research Service with) to their gross domestic product. Most studies on the topic are published in the Journal of Animal Science, and other journals with high impact according to the number of citations and different metrics. Finally, when evaluating the most cited articles, the occurrence and association of the main keywords, it was confirmed that research is focused on the role of CAPN and CAST genes and of SNPs in beef tenderness. The change in science was emphasized; although marker-assisted selection is still used, genes have an infinitesimal effect on complex traits. Therefore, since about 2010, new research groups adopted genomic selection to evaluate dense panels of SNPs and better explain genetic variation in meat tenderness.

Abstract
The cage-free system has gained a lot of interest in recent years because it can offer chickens more freedom and is easier to manage compared with free-range rearing systems, but few studies have focused on the effect of the cage-free rearing system on meat quality and flavor. In this study, 44 Jianghan chickens were reared in caged or cage-free systems to explore the effect of different rearing systems on meat-eating quality. Sensory evaluation of cooked muscles showed that the leg muscle aroma, juiciness, and flavor intensity significantly improved by the cage-free rearing. The cage-free hens had significantly lower body weight, abdominal fat percentage, and meat fat content, but higher meat moisture content. The cage-free group had brighter breast muscle and redder leg muscle color 24 h after slaughter. Transcriptomic and metabolomic profile analysis of the leg muscle samples showed that the cage-free rearing changed biosynthesis pathways associated with glycogen metabolism, lipid and fatty acid biosynthesis and transport, muscle cellular type, and cellular components, which were related to raw meat quality. Different rearing systems also resulted in differences in glycolipid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and altered levels of intramuscular fat content and other flavor precursors. Pathways such as glycerolipid metabolism, adipocytokine signaling, and metabonomic pathways such as linoleic acid, glycerophospholipid, arginine, proline, and β-alanine metabolism may be responsible for the meat quality and flavor change.

Abstract
Tenderness is the most critical eating quality trait of meat, and consequently, processing interventions for meat tenderisation have significant economic relevance. The objective of this study was to investigate pulsed electric field (PEF) conditions for the tenderisation of beef topside. The PEF settings included combinations of three field strengths (0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 kV/cm), two frequencies (20 and 100 Hz) and three treatment times (10, 30 and 50 ms). The effect of PEF on meat quality parameters (pH, drip loss, shear force, cook loss and colour) immediately after treatment and after storage (1 and 14 days at 4 °C) was evaluated. PEF did not affect meat tenderness after 1 day of chilled storage but resulted in a 5–10% reduction in the shear force in some cases (0.25–0.5 kV/cm) compared to the untreated control after 14 days of storage. Other quality traits (cook loss and colour) were not impaired. Thus, we concluded that PEF technology is a possible intervention to improve meat tenderness of beef topside after 2 weeks of storage.

Beef: A Review. Food Sci Anim Resour 2022; 42:723-743. [PMID: 36133641 PMCID: PMC9478978 DOI: 10.5851/kosfa.2022.e33] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2022] [Revised: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Beef muscles from mature cows and bulls, especially those originating from the
extremities of the carcass, are considered as underutilized due to
unsatisfactory palatability. However, beef from culled animals comprises a
substantial proportion of the total slaughter in the US and globally. Modern
consumers typically favor cuts suitable for fast, dry-heat cookery, thereby
creating challenges for the industry to market inherently tough muscles. In
general, cull cow beef would be categorized as having a lower extent of
postmortem proteolysis compared to youthful carcasses, coupled with a high
amount of background toughness. The extent of cross-linking and resulting
insolubility of intramuscular connective tissues typically serves as the
limiting factor for tenderness development of mature beef. Thus, numerous
post-harvest strategies have been developed to improve the quality and
palatability attributes, often aimed at overcoming deficiencies in tenderness
through enhancing the degradation of myofibrillar and stromal proteins or
physically disrupting the tissue structure. The aim of this review is to
highlight existing and recent innovations in the field that have been
demonstrated as effective to enhance the tenderness and palatability traits of
mature beef during the chilling and postmortem aging processes, as well as the
use of physical interventions and enhancement.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current knowledge about proteomic and metabolic changes in beef, the microbiological alteration postmortem and during aging, and observe the influence on beef quality parameters, such as tenderness, taste and flavor. This review will also focus on the different aging types (wet- and dry-aging), the aging or postmortem time of beef and their effect on the proteome and metabolome of beef. The Ca2+ homeostasis and adenosine 5'-triphosphate breakdown are the main reactions in the pre-rigor phase. After rigor mortis, the enzymatic degradation of connective tissues and breakdown of energy metabolism dominate molecular changes in beef. Important metabolic processes leading to the formation of saccharides, nucleotides, organic acids (e.g. lactic acid), creatine and fatty acids are considered in this context as possible flavor precursors or formers of beef flavor and taste. Flavor precursors are substrates for lipid oxidation, Strecker degradation and Maillard reaction during cooking or roasting. The findings presented should serve as a basis for a better understanding of beef aging and its molecular effects and are intended to contribute to meeting the challenges of improving beef quality.

Abstract
Fast-growing broiler chickens are subjected to breast myopathies such as white striping (WS), wooden breast (WB), and spaghetti meat (SM). Available studies about risk factors for myopathy occurrence often used flock data whereas a few reports evaluated chicken individual data. Thus, the present study aimed to elucidate the effect of growth and slaughter traits, besides sex and genotype on myopathy occurrence. Data were obtained from eight experimental trials, which used a total of 6,036 broiler chickens. Sex, genotype, daily weight gain, slaughter weight, and breast yield were evaluated as potential risk factors by logistic regression analyses. Then, the effects of myopathy and sex were evaluated on meat rheological traits (pH, colour, cooking losses and shear force). Based on a logistic regression, WS occurrence was associated with genotype, breast weight, and breast yield. Compared with chickens with intermediate breast weight and breast yield, higher odds of having WS were found in chickens with high breast weight (OR: 1.49) and yield (OR: 1.27), whereas lower odds were found in those with low breast weight (OR: 0.57) and yield (OR: 0.82). As for WB and SM, females had lower odds of having WB (OR: 0.55) and higher odds of showing SM (OR: 15.4) compared to males. In males, higher odds of having WB were found in chickens with a high daily weight gain (OR: 1.75) compared to those with an intermediate daily weight gain. In females, higher odds of having SM were associated to a high slaughter weight (OR: 2.10) while lower odds to a low slaughter weight (OR: 0.87). As for meat quality, only WB meat was clearly different for some technological and sensorial properties, which can play a major role also in meat processing. In conclusion, our analysis identified breast development as a potential risk factor for WS, while a high growth was the risk factor for WB and SM. A different probability of having WB or SM in females and male was found.

Abstract
The full utilization of garlic straw can partially alleviate shortage of feedstuff and waste of resources. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of garlic straw as an unconventional feed on yellow-feathered broilers. 360 28-day-old yellow-feathered broilers were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates (cage) per group, 15 per cage. The 4 groups were as follows: control group (basal diet) and experimental group I (basal diet supplemented with 3% garlic straw powder), II (basal diet supplemented with 6% garlic straw powder) and III (basal diet supplemented with 9% garlic straw powder). There was no significant difference in the initial body weight of the broilers among groups (p > 0.05). The test period was 28 days in total. The experiment results showed that there were no significant difference in the average final weight, ADG, ADFI and F/G among groups (p > 0.05). On the one hand, for the breast muscle, the drip loss of experimental group I, II and III were reduced by 17.24% (p <0.05), 20.11% (p <0.05) and 20.50% (p <0.05), respectively, compared with the control group; the redness a* of the experimental groups had a trend of improvement (0.05 <p < 0.1). On the other hand, compared with the control group, the redness a* of the experimental group II increased significantly by 23.18% for the leg muscles (p < 0.05). Furthermore, compared with the control group, GSH-Px of the experimental group III significantly increased by 21.38% (p < 0.05), and SOD of the experimental group I significantly increased by 21.85% (p < 0.05). Finally, there were no significant differences in the intestinal villus height, crypt depth, V/C and intestinal wall thickness among four groups (p >0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of different levels of garlic straw powder can improve meat quality and antioxidant capacity of yellow-feathered broilers without affecting growth performance and intestinal mucosal morphology.

Impact of Combining Tumbling and Sous-Vide Cooking Processes on the Tenderness, Cooking Losses and Colour of Bovine Meat. Processes (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of combining tumbling and sous-vide cooking processes on the tenderness, cooking losses and colour of bovine Semitendinosus (ST) muscles sampled from Charolais-breed cows. Half of the ST muscles were tumbled for 12 h with a compression rate of 40%. All muscle samples, whether tumbled or not, were then sous-vide cooked at 50 °C, 60 °C or 80 °C for 1 h or 4 h. After cooking, we measured the shear forces (SF), cooking losses, total water content and the main colour characteristics of pre-tumbled and non-tumbled meat pieces. Pre-tumbled meat pieces had 20% lower SF values than non-tumbled meat pieces, regardless of the cooking conditions applied. All meat pieces cooked at 50 °C had significantly higher (p < 0.05) SF values and lower (p < 0.05) cooking losses than meat pieces cooked at 60 °C or 80 °C. Pre-tumbled meat pieces showed significantly lower cooking losses (p < 0.001) than non-tumbled meat pieces. Applying the tumbling process before cooking led to an increase in meat colour lightness values (p < 0.001), and the colour parameters were significantly affected (p < 0.05) by temperature, cooking time, and temperature × cooking time interaction. Combining a 12-h tumbling process with cooking at 60 °C appears to provide the best compromise between increasing meat tenderness and limiting cooking losses.

Abstract
Plant-based meat alternatives have been studied for decades, but have recently gained more attraction in the food industries and research communities. Concern about animal welfare, health, environment and moral beliefs acts as a driving force for the growth of plant-based meat products. The most challenging task in the development of meat analog is to imitate the texture of conventional meat products. The fabrication of plant-based meat product requires a wise selection and formulation of ingredients to perfectly mimic the fibrous structure of meat. Top-down and bottom-up approaches are the two most commonly used structuring techniques for the preparation of plant-based meat products. Development of comminuted meat product is easy as compared to the whole-muscle type plant-based meat products. Several plant-based ingredients such as texturized and non-texturized proteins, fats, binding agents, flavoring and coloring agents accompanied with different processing techniques (extrusion, shear cell, wet spinning, electrospinning, and freeze structuring) are used in the preparation of meat analogs. This paper aims to discuss the impact of ingredients on the textural properties of plant-based meat products.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of cathepsin L on proteolysis of beef myofibrillar proteins in vivo and in vitro. Results indicated that cathepsin L affected the degradation of desmin and troponin-T during postmortem aging, and the extent of degradation increased from 1 d to 14 d postmortem. No detectable degradation of titin, nebulin, and α-actinin in the presence of cathepsin L inhibitor was observed during postmortem aging. In vitro, cathepsin L affected the degradation of titin, nebulin, and troponin-T, and the extent of degradation increased with increasing incubation time. Nevertheless, cathepsin L did not cause the degradation of α-actinin and desmin, regardless of incubation temperature. The different results between in vitro and in vivo experiments might mainly depend on different treatment temperatures. Overall, these results indicated that cathepsin L participated in the degradation of myofibrillar proteins and meat tenderization.

Abstract
Objective For improving meat quality especially tenderness, male cattle are usually castrated to removes both the testicles. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect castration method (half- and complete-castration) on meat yield and quality characteristics of Hanwoo male cattle. Methods Thirty-two similar age (5.9 months) Hanwoo male calves were divided into: half-castration (HC) and complete-castration (CC) groups (n = 16 per group). At 7 months of age, all the animals were castrated in which the HC calves had only one testicle surgically removed while, the CC calves had both testicles surgically removed. The castrated animals were reared under identical conditions until 25 months of age. After slaughter, the carcasses were evaluated for carcass traits and meat yield of primal cuts. For examination of the castration effect on meat quality, L. lumborum and semimembranosus muscles were used. The meat samples were analyzed for chemical composition, color, pH, shear force and water holding capacity, fatty acids, metabolites and volatile aroma compounds. Results The HC group showed higher meat yields of all primal cuts (p<0.05). As a result, the total meat yield was higher by approximately 44 kg in the HC group (303.32 kg, corresponding to 67.88%) compared to the CC group (259.30 kg, corresponding to 62.11%) (p< 0.05). In terms of meat quality, the HC resulted in two times greater fat content in both muscles examined compared to intact males. More importantly, the shear force values did not differ between HC and CC groups for L. lumborum muscles (p>0.05). The meat from HC animals exhibited higher amount of free amino acids associated with sweetness (p< 0.05). Furthermore, the castration method only exhibited a negligible effect on metabolites and volatile aroma compounds in the cooked meat. Conclusion Half-castration emerged as an alternative practice to be used for increasing the yield and tenderness of male cattle meat.
