The Relationship

AbstractTo evaluate the relationship between muscle fiber characteristics and the quality of frozen/thawed pork meat, four different muscles, M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL), M. psoas major (PM), M. semimembranosus (SM), and M. semitendinosus (ST), were analyzed from twenty carcasses. Meat color values (lightness, redness, yellowness, chroma, and hue) changed due to freezing/thawing in LTL, which showed larger IIAX, IIX, and IIXB fibers than found in SM (P < 0.05). SM and ST showed a significant decrease in purge loss and an increase in shear force caused by freezing/thawing (P < 0.05). Compared with LTL, SM contains more type IIXB muscle fibers and ST had larger muscle fibers I and IIA (P < 0.05). PM was the most stable of all muscles, since only its yellowness and chroma were affected by freezing/thawing (P < 0.05). These results suggest that pork muscle fiber characteristics of individual cuts must be considered to avoid quality deterioration during frozen storage.

Abstract. The study of carcass and meat quality of four male genotypes namely: Thai native (TH), crossbred (Thai native x Barred Plymouth Rock; THB), Barred Plymouth Rock (BPR) and Shanghai (SH) chickens was conducted. Three hundred and twenty birds receiving from four equal groups were allotted in Completely Randomized Design (CRD). They were fed from one day and slaughtered at 16 weeks of age. Breast (M. pectoralis major) and thigh (M. biceps femoris) muscles were investigated for meat quality. TH had lower slaughtered weight (P<0.001) but higher lean : bone as well as less bone percentage (P<0.05) than all groups. Thigh muscle fiber of TH had higher type I and lower type IIB whereas there were similar in breast muscle fiber. Meat quality in terms of IMF, cholesterol and triglyceride contents as well as n-3 fatty acid and the ratio of n-6/n-3 of Thai indigenous male strain was more favorable compared to those all genotypes. Breast and thigh muscle were higher in shear force value and collagen content but the sensory evaluation was not significantly different. Since they were similar in sensory evaluation, the male layer and the male crossbred chickens have the potential to substitute TH in a market serving consumers who prefer chewy chicken meat.

Abstract Background: In ruminants, due to the hydrogenation of the rumen, muscles contain a large amount of saturated fatty acids (SFA), which have a negative effect on meat quality. Linseed as a common oil crop which is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), it affected the deposition of PUFA. Unfortunately, PUFA can exert a negative influence on the oxidative stability of meat. Fortunately, linseed is not only rich in PUFA, but also rich in phenols, which are a good source of antioxidants. Therefore, linseed may be can serve as an effective feed additive to improve meat quality of sheep. The aim of this investigation was to establish the effects of dietary linseed supplementation on carcass traits, meat quality, muscle fiber characteristics and antioxidative capacity of sheep. Results: Results of this study indicated that linseed supplementation significantly increased the loin-eye area, crude protein and ash. Reduced pH24h, L* and shear force. Moreover, linseed supplementation affected the relative content and enriched the kinds of volatile flavor substances. Increased mRNA expression of MyHC I and MyHC IIx, and a decrease in cross-sectional area (CSA) and muscle fiber diameter was also observed. Additional changes included enhanced activity of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), decreased activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), increased total antioxidative capacity (T-AOC) activity. The mRNA expression of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) and catalase (CAT) were increased while malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased. Conclusions: The results suggest that linseed is an effective feed additive in improving meat quality. The underlying mechanism(s) for its effectiveness may be partly due to a change in muscle fiber characteristics and antioxidative capacity.

Due to the dietetic properties and remarkable nutritive value of rabbit meat, its industry is increasing rapidly. However, the association between circular RNAs, microRNAs, and proteins and muscle fiber type, and meat quality of rabbit is still unknown. Here, using deep sequencing and iTRAQ proteomics technologies we first identified 3159 circRNAs, 356 miRNAs, and 755 proteins in the longissimus dorsi tissues from Sichuan white (SCWrabs) and Germany great line ZIKA rabbits (ZIKArabs). Next, we identified 267 circRNAs, 3 miRNAs, and 29 proteins differentially expressed in the muscle tissues of SCWrabs and ZIKArabs. Interaction network analysis revealed some key regulation relationships between noncoding RNAs and proteins that might be associated with the muscle fiber type and meat quality of rabbit. Further, miRNA isoforms and gene variants identified in SCWrabs and ZIKArabs revealed some pathways and biological processes related to the muscle development. This is the first study of noncoding RNA and protein profiles for the two rabbit breeds. It provides a valuable resource for future studies in rabbits and will improve our understanding of the molecular regulation mechanisms in the muscle development of livestock. More importantly, the output of our study will benefit the researchers and producers in the rabbit breeding program.

This study aimed to explore the effects of beta-hydroxy-beta-methyl butyrate (HMB) on serum metabolic profiles and meat quality of muscles in Wenshi broiler chickens. Birds were fed a basal diet with an additional 0, 0.05, 0.10, or 0.15% HMB, respectively. Results showed that dietary HMB quadratically increased the average daily gain (P = 0.058) and decreased feed:gain (P &lt; 0.05) mainly in the starter phase. At 51 days of age, birds receiving 0.10% HMB diet exhibited less abdominal fat and more breast yield than the control (P &lt; 0.05). Moreover, dietary HMB quadratically decreased the L∗ value and drip loss in selected muscles (P &lt; 0.05) and increased the a∗ value in breast muscle (P &lt; 0.05). Serum metabolome profiling showed that the most differentially abundant metabolites are lipids and lipid-like molecules, including phosphatidylcholines. It was concluded that HMB improved growth performance and meat quality of muscle in broilers.
