Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the influence of retail case type and lighting intensity on color stability of ground beef patties. Ground 80:20 beef was procured from a local retail establishment between 7 and 10 d from the box date and ground through a 9.5 mm grinder plate, then formed into 150.25 g patties. Patties were then individually packaged in PVC-overwrap packages and randomly assigned into one of four treatments: open, multideck cases with 3000 K lighting (OPEN3000), open, 3500 K lighting (OPEN3500), enclosed, multideck cases with doors with 3000 K lighting (DOOR3000), and enclosed multideck at 3500 K lighting (DOOR3500). Patties were displayed for 7 d and instrumental color values (CIE L*, a*, and b*) were taken every 24 h. Data were analyzed as a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with repeated measures, with case type, lighting intensity, and their interaction serving as fixed effects. Patties in DOOR cases possessed greater L* values (P < 0.05) than OPEN cases on d 3 of display. A similar trend existed for a*, where DOOR patties were redder (P < 0.05) than OPEN patties from d 2 to the end of display, and b* values were higher (P < 0.05) in DOOR cases from d 1 to d 4 of display. Patties from the DOOR cases also possessed increased chroma values (P < 0.05) from d 1 to 6 of display, and decreased (indicating more red) hue angle values from d 3 to the end of display. No differences were observed between lighting intensity for any trait evaluated (P ≥ 0.293). These results indicate patties placed in enclosed retail cases with doors are lighter, redder, and more intense in color during display compared to traditional open-front cases, which indicates greater color stability.

Abstract This study examined the effects of replacing monensin and tylosin with essential oils and/or benzoic acid in finishing cattle diets on beef color stability and lipid oxidation during a simulated retail display period. The longissimus thoracis (LT) and semimembranosus (SM) muscles were obtained from 63 steers that were fed for 98 days on 1 of 5 finishing diets: no additional supplement (CON), monensin/tylosin (M/T), essential oils (EO), benzoic acid (BA), or a combination of essential oils and benzoic acid (COMBO). Instrumental color measured with a Minolta colorimeter and visual discoloration evaluated by two trained panelists were recorded daily for three beef products placed under simulated retail conditions, until a 60% surface discoloration was observed. The three beef products evaluated were LT steaks, and two types of ground beef patties manufactured with the SM muscles (lean – no additional fat and regular – 25% added fat). The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay was used before and after the shelf life display to determine the degree of lipid oxidation for products during the display. Data were analyzed as a randomized complete block design with the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS using repeated measures. Results indicated a treatment by day interaction (P < 0.0001) for visual discoloration and instrumental color of all three products. At the end of the display period, products from the COMBO diet had on average the least amount of visual discoloration and the greatest a* (redness) value, while the CON steaks and M/T ground beef had the most discoloration and the lowest a* values. TBARS values at d 0 and d 7 did not differ (P > 0.23) among treatments for all three products. Overall, supplemental ingredients in feed did not affect the color and degree of lipid oxidation of steaks and ground beef to a level deemed detrimental.

The relationships between the lipid content, lipid oxidation, and discoloration rate of ground beef during a simulated retail display were characterized in this study. A total of 276 batches of ground beef were manufactured with inside rounds and subcutaneous fat from 138 beef carcasses at different targeted levels of lean:fat. There was a total of four different targeted grind levels during the manufacture of the ground beef, and the lipid content for the samples used in this study ranged from 2% to 32% total lipid. Fatty acid composition was determined based on subcutaneous fat, whereas the proximate composition of moisture and total lipids, instrumental color, visual discoloration, and lipid oxidation measured as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were evaluated on ground beef patties during 7 days of simulated retail at 4 °C display under LED lights. Analysis for the correlation and the creation of linear regression models indicated that lipid content played a more critical role in the discoloration rate compared to lipid oxidation and fatty acid composition. Lipid oxidation could be more reliably predicted by lipid content and instrumental color compared to visual discoloration. Overall, ground beef formulated with greater lipid content is expected to experience greater rates of lipid oxidation and discoloration during retail display.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of waiting time at the lairage before slaughter in Holstein bulls after a short transport. Half of the bulls of each transport (n = 8 transports; n = 48 ± 4 bulls/transport) were distributed in two treatments: short waiting time (SWT; &lt; 2h; n = 200) and long waiting time (LWT; from 4 to 8h; n = 184). Behavior of LWT animals was observed with a 15 min scan sampling at the lairage pens. Hot carcass weight (HCW), conformation, fatness and pH in Longissimus dorsi (LD) at the 4th-5th lumbar vertebra between 30 and 36 h postmortem was registered. A caudal section of LD was collected for meat quality evaluation in a subset of 24 animals selected based on HCW and meat pH. Each loin was cut in 5 slices, one to determine instrumental color after 30 min blooming, and the others were disposed to evaluate microbiology (1, 5, 8 and 12 d) and color stability (1 to 12 d). Data were analyzed using mixed models with repeated measures. The percentage of animals standing with LWT treatment decreased (P &lt; 0.001) with waiting time (100% and 64%, 1 h and 6 h, respectively). Meat pH was greater (P &lt; 0.01) for SWT (5.6 ± 0.02) compared with LWT (5.5 ± 0.02); however, the percentage of carcass classified as DFD (pH &gt; 5.7) did not differ between treatments. Lightness (L*) was greater (P &lt; 0.05) for SWT (29.7 ± 0.47) compared with LWT (28.1 ± 0.49). Moreover, on day 12 color stability and enterobacteria count evolved differently (P = 0.09) between treatments. Waiting time below 2 h might impair meat quality as animals might not be able to recover from transport.

ObjectivesSalt plays an integral role in meat processing, and reduction or exclusion will have negative impacts on water holding capacity and binding function of protein and fat. Specific to meat emulsions, NaCl is used in the formulation due to its effect on the solubilization (extraction) of myofibrillar meat proteins, which allow the formation and stabilization of the interfacial matrix during manufacture and preparation. While previous research has addressed preservation (shelf-life and oxidation attributes) and flavor (sensory attributes) when using specialty salts in meat products, the application of specialty salts in meat emulsions has never been addressed in a scientific manner. Therefore, the purpose here was to evaluate the incorporation of different levels and types of specialty salts on the physicochemical and textural characteristics of beef emulsions.Materials and MethodsThree specialty NaCl salts (premium sea salt, pink sea salt, and gray sea salt) were added to beef emulsion modeling systems at three different inclusion levels (0.70, 1.00, and 1.30%) and then compared with commercially sourced white salt. Salt (NaCl) purity levels for commercially sourced white salt, premium sea salt, pink sea salt, and gray sea salt were 99.8, 99.8, 95.2, and 94.9%, respectively. Cooking loss, emulsion stability, proximate composition, pH, texture profile analysis, and instrumental color of the emulsions were evaluated with three independent replications from one batch of ground beef. One batch of ground beef was used to properly control for confounding factors such as beef source and day of manufacture. Treatment was applied to one of twelve 500-g base emulsions (without artificial food dyes, preservatives, spices, and seasonings) containing beef (according to the level of salt added), water (28.14%), oil (8.00%), starch (2.00%), and phosphate (0.35%) for each replication (36 total experimental units). Data were analyzed with PROC GLIMMIX of SAS with fixed effects of salt type, salt inclusion level, and their interaction, and the random effect of replication. Least square means were separated using the PDIFF option with a Tukey-Kramer adjustment, and was further separated using an orthogonal set of estimate statements to analyze linear and quadratic effects for salt inclusion level. Differences were considered different at P ≤ 0.05.ResultsEmulsion stability and cooking loss were primarily affected (P < 0.01) by salt inclusion level rather than salt type (P ≥ 0.13). Stability increased and cooking loss decreased as salt inclusion level increased (linear P < 0.01). Proximate composition of cooked meat emulsions trended differently as salt increased from 0.70% to 1.30% salt inclusion level for the different salt types. Moisture increased and lipid decreased for commercial white salt, while moisture decreased, and lipid increased for all three of the specialty salts. Hardness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness of emulsions increased as the level of salt increased for all the treatments and were greatest (P < 0.0001) in all treatments at the 1.30% salt inclusion level, however, no differences were observed between the salt types.ConclusionOverall, salt inclusion level, rather than salt type, had significant effects on the solubilization of protein and dispersion interactions of the emulsions, which affected physicochemical and functional properties.

Abstract The objective was to investigate the effects of dietary linoleic acid level and the ratio of linoleic acid:linolenic acid (n6:n3) on the growth performance and inflammatory status of grow-finish pigs. A total of 300 growing pigs (BW = 41.1 ± 6.3 kg) were randomly assigned to either a high (30 g/kg; HLA) or low (15 g/kg; LLA) linoleic acid level with a high (20:1; HR), moderate (12:1; MR) or low (4:1; LR) n6:n3 in a 2 x 3 factorial design. Diets were fed across three 28-day phases and were balanced for dietary metabolizable energy. Pigs were housed 5 pigs per pen. Blood samples were collected on weeks 1, 3, 6, and 12, and synovial fluid was collected from the hock joint on weeks 1 and 12 for inflammatory marker analysis. Data were analyzed as repeated measures using PROC MIXED (SAS 9.4) with initial body weight as a covariate, pen as the experimental unit, and linoleic acid level, ratio, and their interaction as fixed effects. Compared to HLA, LLA pigs had increased BW (P &lt; 0.05) at d56 (103.2 vs. 101.3kg) and tended to have increased BW at d84 (P &lt; 0.10; 129.1 vs. 127.8kg). Pigs receiving LR tended to have higher d84 BW compared to MR (P &lt; 0.10; 129.1 vs. 127.3kg). There was no effect of linoleic acid ratio interaction for growth performance. In phase 2, pigs receiving LR had higher feed intake (P &lt; 0.05) compared to MR. Pigs receiving HR performed intermediate of LR and MR. Overall, C-reactive protein was reduced in the plasma of pigs receiving HLA (P &lt; 0.05; 19.3 vs. 26.2mg/mL). Across all treatments, CRP was reduced in synovial fluid and plasma in week 12 vs. week 1 (P &lt; 0.05). In conclusion, LLA and a low ratio of n6:n3 improved final pig BW, and HLA is potentially beneficial in improving inflammation.

Abstract Leptin is a 16-kDa-peptide hormone product of the leptin gene (LEP) that is predominantly synthesized by adipose tissues and has known involvement in regulation of feed intake, energy expenditure, reproduction, and immune functions. The objective was to determine the association of leptin genotype (LEP c.73C &gt;T), leptin diplotype (LEPD) and plasma leptin hormone (LEPH) concentration with growth, feed intake, feed efficiency, and behavior characteristics in developing beef heifers. A total of 336 commercial beef heifers were genotyped for the LEP c.73C &gt;T marker. Four single nucleotide polymorphism markers including LEP c.73C &gt;T, ARS-BFGL-NGS-59298 (intron 1), BovineHD0400026029 (upstream) and BovineHD0400026063 (downstream) of LEP were considered for haplotype analysis. Eleven LEPD were identified for this study using parsimony-based analyses. Circulating levels of LEPH were measured on 333 heifers prior to their first breeding season and used to assign low or high concentration group based on population median. Data were analyzed using the mixed procedure of SAS for repeated measures, fixed effects of ancestral breed group (n = 4), dam age category (n = 4), frame size group (n = 4), project cycle nested within birth year (n = 6), week of feed trial × year, LEP (n = 3) or LEPD (n = 11) or LEPH (n = 2), as well as week × LEPH (only for LEPH). There were no significant differences between LEP genotypes (P ≥ 0.11) or LEPD (P ≥ 0.33) for any of the studied traits. Heifers with low LEPH ate fewer meals per day (P = 0.02) and had more DMI per meal (P = 0.04) compared to those with high plasma leptin. Further research is needed to better understand plasma LEPH concentration and its role in feeding behavior attributes. However, circulatory LEPH before the breeding season may serve as a predictor for feeding behavior.
