Food Res Int 2023; 167:112688. [PMID: 37087260 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
Ultra-processed, plant-based burgers (PB) and traditional comminuted-beef burgers (BB) share similar organoleptic characteristics, yet a knowledge gap exists in understanding how consumption of these divergent physical structures alters the lipemic response and gut microbiota. PB, comprised of highly refined ingredients, is formulated with no intact whole food structure, while BB entraps lipids throughout the myofibrillar protein network. PB presented significantly higher free fatty acid (FFA) bioaccessibility (28.2 ± 4.80 %) compared to BB (8.73 ± 0.52 %), as obtained from their FFA release profiles over digestion time after characterizing them with a modified logistic model (SLM), using the simulated TIM Gastro-Intestinal Model (TIM-1). Additionally, the rate of lipolysis, k, obtained from the SLM for PB (90% CI [0.0175, 0.0277] min-1) was higher than for BB (90% CI [0.0113, 0.0171] min-1). Using the Simulated Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME®), the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio (F/B ratio) was significantly higher for PB than BB; and linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) showed Clostridium and Citrobacter were more highly represented in the microbial community for the PB feed, whereas BB feed differentially enriched Megasphaera, Bacteroides, Alistipes, and Blautia at the genus level. Additionally, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production was altered (p < 0.05) site-specifically in each colon vessel, which could be attributed to the available substrates and changes in microbial composition. Total SCFAs were significantly higher for PB in the ascending colon (AC) and descending colon (DC) but higher for BB only in the transverse colon (TC). This research illustrates the crucial role of meat analog physical structure in modulating nutritional aspects beyond food composition alone.

Martins EH, Malheiros JM, Dos Santos Correia LEC, de Moraes Vilar CSM, de Oliveira MHV, Dominguez-Castaño P, de Fátima Aguiar É, de Vasconcelos Silva JAI. Carcass and meat quality of red-winged tinamou (Rhynchotus rufescens) selected for muscle growth. Trop Anim Health Prod 2022; 55:20. [PMID: 36542167 DOI: 10.1007/s11250-022-03420-3] [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: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency of selection for body growth and its association with carcass and meat quality traits in the red-winged tinamou. Two experimental groups were selected based on the selection index: selection group with a higher index (TinamouS) and commercial group with a lower index (TinamouC). Weight at 180 days and slaughter weight were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the TinamouS group, as were hot carcass weight, skinless breast weight, wing weight, and thigh and drumstick weight. The meat quality traits or sensory attributes did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) between groups. A significant positive correlation (0.59; p < 0.05) was found between shear force and chewability and a significant negative correlation (- 0.59; p < 0.05) between aroma intensity and strange aroma. The present study suggests that the selection index promotes greater body growth and preserves meat quality and sensory traits in red-winged tinamou.

Abstract
Fish consumption is an indicator of human exposure to personal care products (PCP) such as tonalide (AHTN) and benzophenone 3 (BP3). Although most fish consumed is cooked, the impact of cooking procedures on PCP levels is difficult to evaluate. Hence, the aim of this work was to provide thorough information on the stability and bioaccessibility of AHTN and BP3 upon cooking and in vitro digestion. A green tea (Camellia sinensis) marinade, rich in polyphenol, was used as mitigating strategy to reduce these contaminants. Roasting and frying reduced AHTN and BP3 levels in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) spiked samples. Additionally, the green tea marinade promoted a reduction of up to 47% AHTN and 35% BP3. Bioaccessibility of AHTN was higher (up to 45%), and increased with the use of green tea marinades. BP3 showed a bioaccessibility below 19% in all cooked samples. Overall, a decrease in PCP levels was observed after cooking; this decrease was even more pronounced when marination was previously used. However, this decrease is cancelled out by the fact that the bioaccessible fraction of the contaminants increases in an inverse way; therefore, none of these processes can be considered a mitigating alternative.

Jiang J, Zhou F, Xian C, Shi Y, Wang X. Effects of Radio Frequency Tempering on the Texture of Frozen Tilapia Fillets. Foods 2021; 10:2663.

Abstract
Radio frequency (RF) tempering has been proposed as a new alternative method for tempering frozen products because of its advantages of rapid and volumetric heating. In this study, the texture of RF-tempered frozen tilapia fillets was determined under different RF conditions, the effects of related factors on the texture were analyzed, and the mechanisms by which RF tempering affected the texture of the tempered fillets were evaluated. The results show that the springiness (from 0.84 mm to 0.79 mm), cohesiveness (from 0.64 mm to 0.57 mm), and resilience (from 0.33 mm to 0.25 mm) decreased as the electrode gap was increased and the power remained at 600 W, while the shear force increased as the power was increased for the 12 cm electrode gap (from 15.18 N to 16.98 N), and the myofibril fragmentation index (MFI) values were markedly higher at 600 W than at 300 W or 900 W (p < 0.05). In addition, the tempering uniformity had a positive effect on hardness and chewiness. The statistical analysis showed that the texture after RF tempering under different RF conditions correlated relatively strongly with the free water content, cooking loss, and migration of bound water to immobilized water. The decrease in free water and bound water migration to immobilized water resulted in a significant increase in cohesiveness and resilience.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Recent revisions to U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) compliance and safe harbor guidelines for ready-to-eat meat and poultry products addressed process humidity requirements. Given the lack of prior data for impingement-cooked products, the present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of process humidity on Salmonella lethality at the product core and surface and compliance of the results with FSIS lethality performance standards. Whole muscle beef strips, ground beef patties, whole muscle chicken breast fillets, and breaded ground chicken patties were inoculated with an eight-serovar cocktail of Salmonella. Beef and chicken samples were cooked in a pilot-scale moist-air impingement oven to a core temperature of 70.0 and 72.8°C, respectively, immediately quenched in liquid nitrogen, and dissected to obtain core and surface samples. Variables included oven temperature (218 and 232°C), air velocity (0.7 and 2.8 m/s), and oven humidity (0.7, 15, 30, or 70% moisture by volume [%, v/v]). Additional treatments were performed to examine the impact of supplemental critical control processes such as increased endpoint temperature, postoven carryover time, and pre- or postoven steam treatments. Salmonella reductions of >7 log units were reliably achieved in chicken patties regardless of the processing variables; however, none of the treatments reliably ensured >6.5-log reductions of Salmonella in ground beef. A majority of whole-muscle samples failed to meet the required performance lethality when processed at 0.7% (v/v) humidity; however, Salmonella inactivation was significantly improved (P < 0.05) at oven humidities of ≥30% (v/v). Dry oven conditions achieved greater Salmonella lethality at the core than at the surface for multiple products (P < 0.05). The efficacies of minimal and supplemental critical controls were dependent on product, process, and humidity (P < 0.05). Overall, process humidity and product variability should be considered in regulatory requirements and process validations. HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
Protein calories consumed by people all over the world approximate 15-20% of their energy intake. This makes protein a major nutritional imperative. Today, we are facing an unprecedented challenge to produce and distribute adequate protein to feed over nine billion people by 2050, in an environmentally sustainable and affordable way. Plant-based proteins present a promising solution to our nutritional needs due to their long history of crop use and cultivation, lower cost of production, and easy access in many parts of the world. However, plant proteins have comparatively poor functionality, defined as poor solubility, foaming, emulsifying, and gelling properties, limiting their use in food products. Relative to animal proteins, including dairy products, plant protein technology is still in its infancy. To bridge this gap, advances in plant protein ingredient development and the knowledge to construct plant-based foods are sorely needed. This review focuses on some salient features in the science and technology of plant proteins, providing the current state of the art and highlighting new research directions. It focuses on how manipulating plant protein structures during protein extraction, fractionation, and modification can considerably enhance protein functionality. To create novel plant-based foods, important considerations such as protein-polysaccharide interactions, the inclusion of plant protein-generated flavors, and some novel techniques to structure plant proteins are discussed. Finally, the attention to nutrition as a compass to navigate the plant protein roadmap is also considered.

Abstract
Consumers are increasingly demanding foods that are more ethical, sustainable and nutritious to improve the health of themselves and the planet. The food industry is currently undergoing a revolution, as both small and large companies pivot toward the creation of a new generation of plant-based products to meet this consumer demand. In particular, there is an emphasis on the production of plant-based foods that mimic those that omnivores are familiar with, such as meat, fish, egg, milk, and their products. The main challenge in this area is to simulate the desirable appearance, texture, flavor, mouthfeel, and functionality of these products using ingredients that are isolated entirely from botanical sources, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. The molecular, chemical, and physical properties of plant-derived ingredients are usually very different from those of animal-derived ones. It is therefore critical to understand the fundamental properties of plant-derived ingredients and how they can be assembled into structures resembling those found in animal products. This review article provides an overview of the current status of the scientific understanding of plant-based foods and highlights areas where further research is required. In particular, it focuses on the chemical, physical, and functional properties of plant-derived ingredients; the processing operations that can be used to convert these ingredients into food products; and, the science behind the formulation of vegan meat, fish, eggs, and milk alternatives.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of e-Cooker® and moderate electric field (MEF) cooking on physical and chemical changes occurring during the cooking of meat. Beef muscle samples (38.86 ± 0.08 g) were cooked in saline solution (0.5% w/w NaCl) to a target temperature of 72 °C, followed by a 2 min holding time. The experimental results revealed that e-Cooker® and MEF significantly reduced the come-up time required to achieve a target temperature of 72 °C to 1.16 ± 0.02 min and 0.86 ± 0.02 min, respectively compared to 14.12 ± 0.55 min in conventional cooking. The colour and instrumental texture of cooked meat by e-Cooker® and MEF systems were not significantly different (P > 0.05) from conventionally cooked ones. Overall, the results obtained demonstrated that e-Cooker® and MEF can be used to cook meat in a shorter time and reasonably low energy input while producing a product which is comparable in quality to conventionally cooked meat.

Abstract
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) comprise a major class of brominated flame retardants and are well-known endocrine disruptors. The dietary route, through contaminated seafood consumption, is a main contributor to human exposure. Hence, the aim of this work was to provide thorough information on the dietary pathway of PBDEs and their methoxylated metabolites (MeO-PBDEs) after consumption of contaminated cooked seafood. The analyses were performed by gas chromatography (tandem) mass spectrometry using environmental-friendly extractive methods validated for fish and samples from several digestion segments with limits of detection at the pictogram level (per gram or milliliter of sample). Selected fish species were artificially contaminated and cooked using common household practices (steamed, grilled and microwaved), resulting in considerable loss of pollutants (up to 32% loss), with significant differences between cooking methods and species. Finally, an in vitro method that simulates four human adult digestion steps (oral, gastric digestion, small and large intestinal digestion) was applied to raw and cooked fish. Bioaccessibility of PBDEs and MeO-PBDEs in small intestinal was low (below 24%), pointing to a heavy impact in gut microbiota. Nevertheless, gut microbiota was able to reduce the amounts of targeted contaminants (up to 82%) in the large intestine. The results achieved herein are of great value to predict both amounts and nature of PBDEs and MeO-PBDEs that seafood consumers may be exposed after the ingestion of contaminated food as to ascertain more accurately the impact on human and environmental health.

Abstract
Chitosan nanoparticles loaded monoterpenes (ChMNPs) were prepared for preservation of minced meat from oxidative changes and growth of microorganisms. Four monoterpenes (limonene, linalool, menthol and thymol) were used to synthesis of four different types of ChMNPs. The physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles were analyzed using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Zeta potential. SEM showed that the nanoparticles were nearly uniformly shape and size and the zeta potential values ranged between 0.0346 and -0.1690 mV. In vitro antimicrobial activity of Ch, monoterpenes (M) and ChMNPs against Gram (-) bacteria Escherichia coli (ATCC 8739) and Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 1402) was analyzed using serial dilution test. E. coli was more susceptible than S. typhimurium to these products. ChMNPs exhibited good in vivo antimicrobial and antioxidant property for the minced meat samples during refrigerated storage. Verification of testing hypothesis was performed by assessing a DPPH radical scavenging activity, peroxide value and E. coli reduction of experimental nanoparticles. Significant effects of ChMNPs were observed at 1000 and 2500 mg/kg on the total number of E. coli in meat samples during storage time. The results indicate that ChMNPs can be used to preserve food as antimicrobial agents and to extend shelf life.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of ohmic cooking (OH) and water bath cooking (WB) on the reduction of Escherichia coli O157:H7 inoculated in pork batter with addition of sodium chloride (NaCl) were studied, and the recovery and growth of OH and WB treated E. coli O157:H7 were also investigated during storage. The time for samples cooked by OH to reach the targeted endpoint temperature (61, 65, and 72 °C) was shorter than that of WB, and the addition of NaCl dramatically shortened the cooking time of OH treated samples, however, no significant effect was observed by WB. Samples with NaCl and cooked by OH had lower cooking loss than that of WB, but the inactivation effect of E. coli O157:H7 by OH was comparable to WB. During storage, the recovery and growth of sublethally injured E. coli O157:H7 were slower at 4 °C, and storage at 4 °C for 24 h delayed their recovery at 37 °C from 36 h to 48 h. These results indicated that OH had greater potential in the application of meat batter processing.

Abstract
Modern consumers are increasingly eating meals away from home and are concerned about food quality, taste, and health aspects. Food engineering (FE) has traditionally been associated with the industrial processing of foods; however, most underlying phenomena related to FE also take place in the kitchen during meal preparation. Although chemists have positively interacted with acclaimed chefs and physicists have used foods as materials to demonstrate some of their theories, this has not been always the case with food engineers. This review addresses areas that may broaden the vision of FE by interfacing with cooking and gastronomy. Examples are presented where food materials science may shed light on otherwise empirical gastronomic formulations and cooking techniques. A review of contributions in modeling of food processing reveals that they can also be adapted to events going on in pots and ovens, and that results can be made available in simple terms to cooks. Industrial technologies, traditional and emerging, may be adapted to expand the collection of culinary transformations, while novel equipment, digital technologies, and laboratory instruments are equipping the 21st-century kitchens. FE should become a part of food innovation and entrepreneurship now being led by chefs. Finally, it is suggested that food engineers become integrated into gastronomy's concerns about safety, sustainability, nutrition, and a better food use.

J Food Sci 2018; 83:1596-1604. [PMID: 29786844 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.14182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2018] [Revised: 04/10/2018] [Accepted: 04/10/2018] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this research was to simultaneously study the effect of meat type (chicken breast and leg meat), animal fatty acid composition (selected pork backfats having a low and high degree of saturation, respectively), and isothermal temperature (50, 60, 70, and 80 °C) on the viscoelastic properties of meat batters during and after application of different time-temperature profiles. Gelation of meat proteins contributed most to the viscoelastic properties of meat batters during heating, whereas crystallization of the lipids especially contributed to the viscoelastic properties during the cooling phase. Although the meat type had little effect on the final viscoelastic properties of the meat product, the fatty acid composition had a clear impact on the melting peak area (and therefore solid fat content) of lard, and subsequently on the final viscoelastic properties of meat batters prepared with different types of fats, with higher G' (elastic modulus) values for the most saturated animal fat. The crystallization of the fat clearly transcended the effect of the meat type with regard to G' at the end of the process. With increasing (isothermal) temperature, G' of meat batters increased. Therefore, it could be concluded that the structural properties of heated meat batters mainly depend on the heating temperature and the fatty acid composition, rather than the meat type. PRACTICAL APPLICATION Quality characteristics of cooked sausages depend on multiple factors such as the meat and fat type, non-meat ingredients and processing conditions. From this study it could be concluded that the structural properties of cooked sausage batters mainly depend on the heating temperature and the fatty acid composition, rather than the meat type. Because the fatty acid composition of different animal fats differs widely, these results may be a concern for all manufactures of cooked sausages products with regard to the product structure and final texture, keeping in mind that rendered fat was used in this study, which is not common in sausage making.

Abstract
Low temperature long time (LTLT) sous-vide cooking may modify meat proteins in a way that could promote satiety. We investigated the effects of (1) cooking method (LTLT 58 °C vs. oven 160 °C), (2) LTLT holding time (17 h vs. 72 min), and (3) pork structure, LTLT 58 °C for 17 h (minced vs. roast) on appetite regulation and in vitro protein digestibility. In a cross-over study, 37 healthy men consumed four meals containing pork: LTLT-cooked roast, 58 °C, 72 min; LTLT-cooked roast, 58 °C, 17 h; and, oven-cooked roast, 160 °C to a core temperature of 58 °C and LTLT-cooked minced patties, 58 °C, 17 h. Ad libitum energy intake (EI) after three hours was the primary endpoint. Moreover, subjective appetite sensations were assessed. Protein digestibility was determined in an in vitro simulated digestion model. Ad libitum EI did not differ between the meals. Furthermore, appetite ratings were not clearly affected. LTLT cooking for 72 min increased the proteolytic rate in the early gastric phase during digestion as compared to LTLT cooking for 17 h or oven cooking. In conclusion, LTLT cooking, LTLT holding time, and pork structure did not affect ad libitum EI. However, LTLT cooking at 58 °C for 72 min seemed to enhance in vitro protein digestibility.

Abstract
The colour, water-holding capacity (WHC) and tenderness of meat are primary determinants of visual and sensory appeal. Although there are many factors which influence these quality traits, the end-results of their influence is often through key changes to the structure of muscle proteins and their spatial arrangement. Water acts as a plasticiser of muscle proteins and water is lost from the myofibrillar lattice structure as a result of protein denaturation and consequent reductions in the muscle fibre volume with increasing cooking temperature. Changes in the myofilament lattice arrangement also impact the light scattering properties and the perceived paleness of the meat. Causes of variation in the quality traits of raw meat do not generally correspond to variations in cooked meat and the differences observed between the raw muscle and cooked or further processed meat are discussed. The review will also identify the gaps in our knowledge and where further investigation would beneficial.
