Effects of residual feed intake (RFI) and genetic group on growth, carcass, and meat quality characteristics of bovine longissimus lumborum (LL), triceps brachii (TB), semimembranosus (SM), and gluteus medius (GM) muscles were investigated using 72 purebred Angus, purebred Charolais, and Angus crossbred steers (n = 24 per genetic group) classified as either high (inefficient) or low (efficient) RFI (n = 12 high and low RFI steers within genetic group). There was no RFI effect (P > 0.05) on growth, carcass, and meat quality measurements except high RFI steers had the highest dry matter intake (P < 0.05), and low RFI TB was rated as having reduced beef flavour intensity and sustained juiciness (P < 0.05). Purebred Angus and Charolais LL and GM had lower shear force values (P < 0.05) than Angus crossbreds and ageing reduced mean shear force values except in TB. For TB, SM, and GM, Angus crossbred steers had the highest mean beef flavour intensity scores, and Charolais SM and TB were less tender than those of Angus crossbred (P < 0.05). Overall, RFI did not influence most meat quality traits; therefore, low RFI animals may contribute to reducing feed costs or environmental impact without compromising meat quality and palatability.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different agricultural products on quantitative aspects of carcass, body constituents, cooking loss, shear force and colorimetry of the Longissimus lumborum and Triceps brachii muscles in Santa Ines lambs. 24 Santa Ines female lambs received one of four diets which were isoproteic and isoenergetic with fixed levels of forage (60%) and concentrate (40%) of corn and soybean meal during 45 days. The forages per diet differed: coast-cross hay (HAY), cassava hay (CASS), dehydrated by-product of pea crop (PEA) and sugarcane (SC). The average weight of the lambs at the beginning of the experiment was 26.35kg. Animals were slaughtered in a federally certified abattoir. Initial and final pH, cooking losses, color using the CIELAB system, shear force and the quantity of sarcomeres per 100μm were measured. Hot carcass, cold and half carcass weights were affected by treatments (P<0.05). The sarcomere length of Triceps brachii muscle 24 hours after slaughter differed between diets and coast-cross hay had the lowest value. The sarcomere length differed significantly between diets and the dehydrated by-product of pea crop had the lowest number of sarcomeres immediately after slaughter compared to other diets. There was no influence of diet on colorimetry, cooking loss and shear force. The decrease in pH followed the development of the process of rigor mortis in the Longissimus lumborum and Triceps brachii muscles in the first hour and up to 24 hours after slaughter. Diets did not alter the pH, water holding capacity, colorimetry or shear force. The pea by-product and sugarcane can replace traditional sources of fodder without depreciation of meat characteristics.

Meat Aging

Abstract. The research carried out on meat from 45 ram lambs of the Polish merino breed allowed to determine the effect of meat aging and muscle type on physicochemical characteristics and oxidative stability of lipids. Analysis of physicochemical traits (pH, meat color, expressed juice, cooking loss, shear force, moisture, protein, fat and total collagen content) was performed on fresh and meat aged for 14 d in the longissimus lumborum (LL) and gluteus medius (GM) muscles. The meat aging determined all physicochemical characteristics except protein and fat content. More changes in pH and meat color parameters were defined in the GM muscle compared to the LL muscle. The increase in the tenderness of meat expressed as a reduction (P < 0.05) of shear force values was observed in both muscles aged for 14 d. A lower value (P < 0.05) of the shear force, despite the higher content of collagen, was determined in the GM muscle compared to LL. The investigated muscles differed in the degree of lipid peroxidation expressed as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) in both fresh and aged meat. The TBARS value was lower (P < 0.05) in the LL muscle than in GM. In the longissimus lumborum muscle, the significantly lower content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and PUFA n-6 has been recorded. The oxidation stability was not influenced by the meat aging.

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the influence of dry heat cookery on beef flavor development of multiple beef muscles. Beef strip loins, top sirloin butts, tenderloins, shoulder clods, and chuck rolls were collected from USDA Low Choice carcasses (Small00-Small100 marbling; n = 20). Subprimals were wet aged in the dark for 21 d at 0 - 4℃. Following aging, subprimals were fabricated into 2.54 cm thick steaks of the following muscles: Gluteus medius (GM), Infraspinatus (IF), Longissimus lumborum (LL\), Psoas major (PM), Serratus ventralis (SV), and Triceps brachii (TB). Steaks were cooked to a medium degree of doneness (71℃) on one of four randomly assigned cooking methods: charbroiler grill (CHAR), clamshell grill (CLAM), convection oven (OVEN), or salamander broiler (SALA). Volatile compound analysis was conducted using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with solid phase microextraction. Data were analyzed as a split plot arrangement, with subprimal serving as the whole plot factor and cooking method serving as the subplot factor. The majority of compounds evaluated were impacted by the cooking method main effect (n = 21), followed by the cooking method × muscle interaction (n = 18), and muscle (n = 12). Charbroiler GM steaks produced the greatest amount of methional, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine, and 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine compared to all other treatments (P &lt; 0.05). Charbroiler and CLAM steaks produced the greatest concentration of methylpyrazine and trimethylpyrazine, as well as Strecker aldehydes (P &lt; 0.05), indicating that more direct applications of heat increased Maillard product production. Steaks cooked using OVEN and SALA produced more lipid oxidation products, such as alkanes, aldehydes, and lipid derived ketones. Gluteus medius and SV steaks produced the greatest concentration of volatile compounds, with SV steaks producing an increased concentration of lipid derived compounds (P &lt; 0.05) and GM steaks producing a greater concentration of Maillard products (P &lt; 0.05). These data indicate that cooking method has a direct impact on the flavor profile produced by steaks.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of retail display lighting and packaging type on beef flavor and lipid oxidation in five muscles.Materials and MethodsSubprimals (n = 40 strip loins, 60 shoulder clods, 60 tenderloins, 24 inside rounds, 60 top butts) were randomly collected from separate carcasses. At 7d postmortem muscles (Longissimus lumborum, LL; Triceps brachii, TB; Psoas major, PM; Semimembranosus, SM; Gluteus medius, GM) were fabricated and sliced to 2.54cm steaks. Per muscle, 120 steaks were randomly assigned to packaging treatments: vacuum rollstock (ROLL); high-oxygen (80% O2/20% CO2; HIOX); overwrapped in a motherbag with carbon monoxide (0.4%CO/30%CO2/69.6%N2; CO); and traditional overwrap (OW), which was vacuum packaged until immediately prior to display. Packages were stored in the dark at 2°C an additional 13 d prior to retail display, then were displayed under fluorescent lights (FL) or light-emitting diodes (LED) with a third treatment in dark storage (DARK). All were held in their respective light treatments at 2°C for 72h, then assigned for trained panels or chemical analysis, vacuum packaged and frozen at –20°C. For sensory analysis steaks were thawed to 4°C and cooked to 71°C. Panelists (n = 8) were trained to evaluate twelve flavors, overall juiciness and tenderness, which were scored on a 100-point scale (0 = not present; 100 = extremely present). Lipid oxidation of raw steaks was quantified as 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS; mg malondialdehyde (MDA)/kg beef).ResultsNo three-way interaction (P ≥ 0.10) or lighting effect (P ≥ 0.09) was observed for trained panels or TBARS. Cardboard flavor had a muscle×lighting interaction (P = 0.02). In GM, FL had greater (p < 0.05) cardboard than other lighting; in other muscle types lighting was similar. Muscle×packaging influenced three attributes (P ≤ 0.02). Steaks in ROLL were sweeter (p < 0.05) than other packaging in GM, PM and TB; ROLL was juicier (p < 0.05) than other packaging in GM, PM, and SM. Across all packaging types tenderness was greatest for PM, while SM was least tender (p < 0.05) in CO, HIOX and OW packaging. Packaging influenced nine flavors (P ≤ 0.01); ROLL was greatest in beef ID, bloody/serumy, fat-like, umami, and salty, while HIOX scored greatest for oxidized, bitter, and sour. Brown/roasted was greatest (p < 0.05) in HIOX and CO. Muscle impacted liver-like flavor (P = 0.01), which was lower (p < 0.05) in SM than all other muscle types; LL, TB, PM and GM were similar (p > 0.05) for liver-like. Packaging influenced TBARS (p < 0.01); HIOX had the greatest concentration of MDA, followed by CO, OW and ROLL with the lowest (p ≤ 0.05). Muscle influenced TBARS (P < 0.01), where TB was greatest (p < 0.05), followed by SM, PM, and GM, which were similar (p > 0.05); LL had the lowest MDA concentration. Oxidized (P < 0.01, r = 0.34), cardboard (P < 0.01, r = 0.30), bitterness (P < 0.01, r = 0.23), and sourness (P < 0.01; r = 0.22) were positively correlated with TBARS, while beef ID (P < 0.01, r = –0.23), umami (P < 0.01, r = –0.23), and tenderness (P < 0.01; r = –0.21) were negatively correlated.ConclusionRetail display lighting did not directly influence sensory characteristics or lipid oxidation; lighting only impacted cardboard flavor in an interaction with muscle type. These results suggest after 72h retail display, flavor differences between steaks of similar muscle and packaging displayed under LED or fluorescent lights may not be distinguishable.

A total of 36 steer carcasses (18 slaughtered in Australia and 18 slaughtered in Korea), where one side had been suspended by the hip (tenderstretch) and the other by the Achilles tendon were used to provide sensory and shear force samples from the Mm. triceps brachii, longissimus lumborum and semimembranosus. Sensory samples were cooked using grill (25 mm thick) and barbeque (BBQ, 4 mm thick) methods and served to 360 untrained Australian and 720 untrained Korean consumers. Australian consumers sensory tested grill and BBQ samples from Australian carcasses (216 samples), while Korean consumers sensory tested grill and BBQ samples from both Australian and Korean carcasses (a total of 432 samples). The three-way interaction between carcass suspension, cooking method and muscle was significant (P < 0.05) for tenderness, overall liking and a composite palatability score (MQ4), where the combination of BBQ cooking and hip suspension resulted in large increases in sensory scores for the M. semimembranosus. Variation in sensory scores and shear force are discussed in the context of possible interactions with cooking temperature. There was a significant (P < 0.05) first order interaction between consumer group and muscle for juiciness score. Consumer effects were significant (P < 0.05) for all sensory scores, being largest for juiciness (~8 sensory units), like flavour and overall liking (both ~6 sensory units) and MQ4 (~5 sensory units) scores, with the smallest effect on tenderness (~2 sensory units).

Steaks (n = 560) from US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Choice and Select, including M. gluteobiceps, M. gluteus medius, M. infraspinatus, M. longissimus lumborum, M. rectus femoris, M. triceps brachii and M. vastus lateralis, were evaluated for palatability characteristics and tenderness acceptability by a central-location consumer panel (n = 205 consumers) and Warner–Bratzler shear (WBS) analysis to determine whether threshold values could be identified for these muscles. There were significant interactions for muscle × USDA quality grade for sensory-panel overall like and WBS values. In general, USDA quality grade affected overall like and WBS values for the M. gluteobiceps and M. rectus femoris, but no real differences due to grade were found for the rest of the muscles studied, except for the WBS values for the M. gluteus medius. Regardless of USDA quality grade, the M. infraspinatus had the lowest (P < 0.05) WBS values and was comparable (P > 0.05) in overall like ratings to the M. longissimus lumborum. Percentage of muscles that would be expected to have a tenderness rating ‘slightly tender’ or higher on the basis of WBS values at the 95% confidence interval ranged from 40% for the M. vastus lateralis to 100% for the M. infraspinatus. There were no clear threshold levels for WBS values that would correspond to certain tenderness like ratings, possibly because of the narrow range of tenderness observed within each muscle. For the muscles studied, how consumers rated them appeared to be independent of the WBS values and may make it difficult to develop WBS thresholds for predicting consumer acceptability of these muscles.

The study was conducted on 32 hybrids of (Polish Large White &times; Danish Landrace) &times; Duroc breeds fed similar energy content feed, however differing in fat diet supplements. The animals were divided into four groups in which the following fat supplements were added to the feed: A &ndash; rapeseed and linseed oils, B &ndash; rapeseed and fish oils + swine fat, C &ndash; linseed and fish oils, D &ndash; rapeseed and linseed oils + lard. The carcass slaughter value was estimated and physicochemical and sensory traits of longissimus lumborum (LL) and triceps brachii (TB) muscles were determined. The content of fatty acids in the subcutaneous fat of the loin as well as in the raw LL and TB muscles was estimated as well. It was shown that there were no significant differences in the range of slaughter value traits and meat quality between the groups. However, it was found that different kinds of supplemented fat had a different effect on the content of the polyunsaturated fatty acids in the backfat and in the raw LL muscle. The lowest level of fatty acids characterized the group of pigs fed with supplements consisting of rapeseed and fish oils + lard. The highest values were detected among fatteners supplemented with linseed. The kind of supplemented fat affected the changes in the level of PUFA n-3 fatty acids, especially the linolenic acid C18:3 in backfat. The n-6/n-3 ratio in pigs fed with a greater share of linseed (C and D groups) was better (about 3) than in pigs which obtained a greater portion of rapeseed and fish oils (about 5.5). In both the muscles and fat of fatteners from groups B and C the DHA content was 2&ndash;3 times higher than in A and D groups. Higher EPA content was found in the TB muscle. &nbsp;

The aim of this study was to analyse the polymorphisms in the two promoter regions, P1 and P2, of the porcine Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) gene and to investigate the effect of IGF2 genotypes on meat quality traits in the Italian autochthonous Suino Nero Lucano pig. Three polymorphic sites were analysed and only two of the eight potential haplotypes were observed in the Suino Nero Lucano pig population: A haplotype (–366A – –225G – –182C), and B haplotype (–366G – –225C – –182T). Muscle mass and meat quality characteristics were analysed in 30 castrated pigs (10 for each of the three IGF2 genotypes: A/A, A/B, and B/B). According to the results, B/B animals, at the same carcass weight, showed the highest Longissimus lumborum and Psoas weight (P < 0.05), whereas A/A animals showed a higher intramuscular fat percentage and lower Warner–Bratzler shear force, drip loss, and polyunsaturated fatty acids content. Meat from B/B animals showed also a higher L* value and myoglobin and deoxymyoglobin percentage compared with meat from A/A ones (P < 0.05).
