The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of turmeric supplementation on selected quality features, oxidative stability, and the safety of duck meat burgers. Four burger variants, namely I–control, no additive, II–with turmeric powder, III–with turmeric extract, and IV–with turmeric paste, were tested. The pH, WHC, colour parameters on the CIE L*a*b* scale, finished products’ shear force, TBARS index, and the total number of microorganisms were determined while performing sensory evaluations. Tests were carried out after 24 h, 6, 12, and 18 days of refrigerated storage (4 ± 2 °C). The addition of turmeric powder and paste significantly limited lipid oxidation processes in vacuum-packed duck meat burgers over an 18-day period. Although lipid oxidation processes accelerated after 6 days in all burger variants, burgers with powdered turmeric powder showed the lowest TBARS index values and limited total microorganism increases. Turmeric paste and powder additions resulted in decreased pH, increased water retention, and lighter colouration in refrigerated products. These additives were deemed acceptable during sensory evaluation. The most desirable aroma and taste, including juiciness, were in burgers with turmeric paste addition, while burgers with powdered additions were rated higher for their desired aroma and intensity of taste.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of stocking density (0.20 and 0.27 m2/lamb) during transportation on certain biochemical stress parameters and meat quality characteristics of fifty- five Karayaka lambs divided into two groups. The front compartment of the trailer was loaded at high stocking density (hd: 0.20 m2/lamb; n=33) and the remainder was loaded at low stocking density (ld: 0.27 m2/lamb; n=22). the distance was approximately 130 km and duration was 2 h 15 min. blood samples were taken just before and just after transportation. glucose (p<0.001), lactate (p<0.001), cortisol (p<0.01), creatine kinase (ck) (p<0.01), lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) (P<0.01) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (P<0.05) levels were significantly higher in lambs of the hd group than in the ld group. the effects of stocking density on ph, proportion of expressed juice, cooking loss, Warner-Bratzler shear force value and meat colour parameters were not significant (P>0.05). Transportation with a stocking density of 0.20 m2/lamb resulted in higher stress responses in lambs compared with a stocking density of 0.27 m2/lamb. however, increased stress in the hd group did not lead to any adverse effects on meat quality characteristics. in the determination of stocking density, a compromise that gives animal welfare and commercial objectives equal status would improve the current situation.

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).

ObjectivesNaturSafe® (Diamond V, USA) is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product developed as an animal feed supplement for the further manufacture of nutritionally balanced feeds for beef cattle. This immune support product (Association of American Feed Control Officials number 96.8, 73.046 and International Feed Name number 7–05–520, 8–08–034) has been specifically formulated to optimize beef cattle health and performance, antibiotic stewardship, and food safety. Research has shown that NaturSafe supports optimal rumen and liver health, overall health and immune function, consistency of feed intake, daily gain, feed conversion, and antibiotic effectiveness. As no research previously has assessed the impacts of this feed ingredient on the quality of meat, the objective of this research was to characterize the effects of feeding NaturSafe on meat quality characteristics in beef.Materials and MethodsCrossbred steers (N = 60, n = 12 per treatment; mean hot carcass weight = 421 kg), through an antibiotic free production system, were individually fed diets containing 12, 15, or 18 g/d of NaturSafe or a control diet without (–AB) antibiotics or a control with antibiotics (+AB; 330 mg monensin + 110 mg tylosin·steer–1·d–1) for 112 d. Strip loins were collected and aged for 13 or 29 d postmortem prior to fabrication. Steaks (m. Longissimus) were then evaluated for Warner-Bratzler shear force, pH, sarcoplasmic calcium concentration, troponin-T degradation, fatty acid profile, proximate composition, sarcomere length, total collagen and insoluble collagen. After each aging period, steaks were evaluated for lipid oxidation, and color characteristics (L*, a*, b*, discoloration percentage, and percentage surface oxymyoglobin, metmyoglobin and deoxymyoglobin), during and/or after a 7 d simulated retail display period. A subset of samples at various aging and retail display periods were analyzed for lactic acid bacteria (LAB), psychotrophic plate counts (PPC), and aerobic plate counts (APC). Animal was considered the experimental unit and hot carcass weight and marbling score were used as covariates in the analysis.ResultsTreatment had no effect on pH, sarcomere length, troponin-T degradation, fatty acid profile, proximate composition, total collagen, insoluble collagen, LAB, PPC, APC, lipid oxidation, oxymyoglobin percentage, or metmyoglobin percentage. Meat from cattle fed 18 g/d of NaturSafe was (1) equal to–AB controls and had higher shear force values compared to all other treatments (P < 0.01), (2) had higher (P < 0.05) sarcoplasmic calcium levels than +AB controls and cattle fed 12 g of NaturSafe/d, (3) was redder (higher a* values, P < 0.05) than all other treatments, and (4) was yellower (higher b* values, P < 0.01) than the 12 or 15 g dose and the–AB control. There were no differences among treatments fed NaturSafe for lightness (L*) at either aging time. There were no differences for meat from animals fed 12 or 15 g NatureSafe/d, except deoxymyoglobin percent and discoloration, which were both minimal. Discoloration values were low for all treatments (< 10%).ConclusionThese data indicate that feeding NaturSafe had few discernible effects on meat quality characteristics.

ObjectivesBeef from cull cows has been traditionally perceived as low-quality/value meat due to its inferior flavor and tenderness. Given the negative consumer perception of highly processed fresh meat, there is a need to develop a natural post-harvest aging system to improve eating quality attributes of beef products, particularly from cull cows. Dry aging has been practiced for decades as a traditional and natural butchery process, which is also known to improve palatability characteristics. Thus, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of different dry-aging methods on meat quality, microbiological properties and palatability attributes of loins from cull cow beef.Materials and MethodsPaired beef loins from 13 carcasses (Holstein, 30+ mo) were obtained at 5d postmortem, divided into 4 equal length sections and randomly assigned to four aging methods: wet-aging (WA), dry-aging (DA), dry-aging in water permeable bag (DWA) and UV-light dry-aging (UDA; 2 treatment/day, 5 J/s/treatment). Sections were aged for 28d at 2°C, 65% RH and 0.8 m/s air flow. After aging, dry-aged sections (DA, DWA and UDA) were trimmed of dehydrated surface, and trim loss and total saleable yield were recorded. The pH, proximate composition, shear force, water-holding capacity, initial color (instrumental and trained panelist), lipid oxidation (2-thiobabituric acid reactive substances, TBARS), microbial properties (aerobic plate count (APC), lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and yeast and mold (YM) counts) and trained sensory evaluation (11 panelists) were determined. Experimental design was a balanced complete block design. All data were analyzed using PROC MIXED procedure of SAS, and least squares means for all traits were separated (P < 0.05).ResultsDA and UDA had a substantial moisture loss during the aging process, accompanied with higher trim loss compared to other methods (P < 0.05). This resulted in DA having the lowest yield followed by UDA, DWA and WA with the highest saleable yield (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed on cook loss, WBSF and TBARS between the treatments. DWA had the lowest pH out of all treatments (P < 0.05). UDA had the lowest moisture content and highest drip loss (P < 0.05). Color measurement showed that both DA and WA had significantly higher L* and lower b* values compared to UDA and DWA (P < 0.05). However, a* and lean surface color were not significantly different between the treatments (P > 0.05). For the trim, UDA had the lowest microbial growth among all treatments (P < 0.05). For the lean, UDA had the lowest count for LAB (P < 0.05), WA had the lowest in YM (P < 0.05) and no difference was found for APC between treatments (P > 0.05). Trained sensory panelist found that UDA and WA had higher fat and sour flavor (P < 0.05), and a trend (P = 0.07) of higher oxidized flavor when compared to DWA and DA.ConclusionThe results showed that dry-aging would result in no adverse impact on shear force, cooking loss, initial color and lipid oxidation of mature beef loins. Further, sour and oxidized flavor was lower in dry-aged beef, indicating its potential as value adding process. UV light application minimized microbial growth during dry-aging process, although more analyses are needed to understand its full impact on dry-aged meat quality. Further studies on determining the consumer acceptability as well as flavor-related compound analyses are currently under investigation.

The objective of this study was to compare the quality characteristics of current plant-based protein ground beef alternatives (GBA) to ground beef (GB) patties of varying fat percentages. Fifteen different production lots (n = 15 / fat level) of 1.36 kg GB chubs of three different fat levels (10%, 20%, and 27%) were collected from retail markets in the Manhattan, KS area. Additionally, GBA products including a foodservice GBA (FGBA), a retail GBA (RGBA), and a traditional soy-protein based GBA (TGBA) currently available through commercial channels were collected. Consumers (n = 120) evaluated sample appearance, juiciness, tenderness, overall flavor liking, beef flavor liking, texture liking, and overall liking. Additionally, samples were evaluated for color, texture profile, shear force, pressed juiciness percentage (PJP), pH, and fat and moisture percentage. All three GB samples rated higher (P &lt; 0.05) than the three GBA samples for appearance liking, overall flavor liking, beef flavor liking, and overall liking by consumers. Similar results were found with trained sensory panelists, which rated the GBA as less (P &lt; 0.05) juicy, softer (P &lt; 0.05), and lower (P &lt; 0.05) for beef flavor and odor intensity and higher (P &lt; 0.05) for off-flavor intensity than the GB. Moreover, the GBA had less (P &lt; 0.05) change in shape through cooking and a lower (P &lt; 0.05) percentage of cooking loss and cooking time than the GB. Also, the GBA all had lower (P &lt; 0.05) shear force and PJP values than the GB. The color of the GBA differed (P &lt; 0.05) from the GB, with the GB samples being more (P &lt; 0.05) red in the raw state. These results indicate that the GBA provide different eating and quality experiences than GB and should thus be considered as different products by consumers and retailers.

Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate antioxidative activities of the encapsulated and unencapsulated bitter orange peel extract on the shelf-life of the common carp fillets during 16 days of refrigerated storage. Common carp fillets were treated with bitter orange peel extract (0.5 and 1% w/w), liposomal encapsulated bitter orange peel extract (0.5 and 1% w/w) and beta-hydroxytoluene (BHT, 100 and 200 ppm); their quality changes in terms of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), free fatty acid (FFA) peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and sensory characteristics were investigated. Results showed that the encapsulated and pure extract and BHT could reduce chemical deterioration and lipid oxidation in the fillets compared to the control, as reflected with lower TVBN, FFA, PV and TBA values. Furthermore, common carp fillets treated with high concentration (1%) of the encapsulated bitter orange peel extract showed the lowest amount of lipid oxidation during the storage period compared with the others without any undesirable changes in sensorial attributes.

Effects Of Aging

We evaluated the effect of broiler age and aging process on the meat characteristics of breast fillets from female free-range broilers slaughtered at 12 weeks of age (Wk12) and 70 weeks of age (Wk70). We used breast meat from female ISA Label (n = 60) broilers. Ten samples of each broiler age were aged in an incubator (2°C ± 0.5°C) for 3 and 7 days. Ten samples for each broiler age were analysed 4 h post-slaughter (Control group). Compared with breast meat from Wk12, breast meat from Wk70 showed higher shear force (30.52 N vs 27.19; P = 0.0322) and total collagen (4.33 g/kg vs 3.77 g/kg; P = 0.0149), which were reduced during aging to 15.49 N and 3.92 mg/100 g, respectively. The aging process did not affect the lipid oxidation of breast meat from Wk70. After aging for 3 days, breast meat from Wk70 had similar protein and fat contents to those of meat from Wk12 (21.29% and 1.04%, on average, respectively). Breast meat from Wk70 also showed lower concentrations of docosahexaenoic (0.32% vs 0.65%; P < 0.0001) and eicosapentaenoic (0.01% vs 0.12%; P < 0.0001) fatty acids than meat from Wk12. The use of free-range hen meat is beneficial to the industry because of the lower storage and cooking losses, which may influence the final yield, besides its lower polyunsaturated fatty acid concentration, which makes it less vulnerable to rancidification. Aging for at least 3 days at 2°C is satisfactory to promote the tenderisation of meat from free-range broiler hens.
