S-nitrosothiols as nitrite alternatives: Effects on residual nitrite, lipid oxidation, volatile profile, and cured color of restructured cooked ham. Meat Sci 2024; 209:109397. [PMID: 38043329 DOI: 10.1016/j.meatsci.2023.109397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
This study evaluated the use of the S-nitrosothiols, S-nitroso-N-acetylcysteine (NAC-SNO) and S-nitroso-N-acetylcysteine ethyl ester (NACET-SNO), at different concentrations (25-300 mg nitrite equivalent - NEq/kg) as sodium nitrite substitutes in restructured cooked hams. The pH value and instrumental cured color were not affected by the type or amount of curing agent used. Products with 25 and 50 mg/kg ingoing nitrite had lower thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance values than those with equimolar amounts of S-nitrosothiols. Products with >150 mg NEq/kg of S-nitrosothiols had residual nitrite similar to 50 mg/kg nitrite, and this resulted in the same volatile compound profile as nitrite added in equimolar amounts. A 300 mg NEq/kg of S-nitrosothiols was required to obtain a similar and minimally stable cured pink color perception as sliced samples with 50-150 mg/kg added nitrite. The results obtained reinforce the great potential of both alternative curing agents in the complete replacement of nitrite by equimolar amounts in restructured cooked products; however, differences in cured color stability should be considered.

Abstract
The colour of meat typically fades as it decays. However, it has been observed that certain vacuum-packaged spoiled hams can maintain a pink colour even when the packaging is bulged. A large amount of Zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP) was found in these hams, compared to fresh red hams or spoiled and grey hams. Combined with high-throughput sequencing and cultural isolation, the potential cultures of Leuconostoc mesenteroides S-13 (LM), Leuconostoc citreum OCLC11 (LC), and Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. IMAU:80679 (LS) were selected based on their ability to produce ZnPP. Subsequently, these cultures were introduced into a fermented sausage model to assess their effect on colour conversion. The analysis of absorption and fluorescent spectra showed that Nitrite sausages contained nitrosyl heme pigment, while bacteria-inoculated sausages were predominantly composed of ZnPP. In addition, the a* value of the LS sausage was close to the Nitrite group at the end of fermentation, significantly higher than control, indicating the effect of bacterial metabolism on the redness. Meanwhile, the Ferrochelatase (FECH) activity of LM, LC and LS groups were 140 ± 13, 113 ± 16 and 201 ± 20 U/g sausage, respectively, providing a potential method on compensating for nitrite/nitrate substitution based on the presence of ZnPP in meat products.

Abstract
Meat color is an important aspect for the meat industry since it strongly determines the consumers' perception of product quality and thereby significantly influences the purchase decision. Emergence of new vegan meat analogs has renewed interest in the fundamental aspects of meat color in order to replicate it. The appearance of meat is based on a complex interplay between the pigment-based meat color from myoglobin and its chemical forms and light scattering from the muscle's microstructure. While myoglobin biochemistry and pigment-based meat color have been extensively studied, research on the physicochemical contribution of light scattering to meat color and the special case of structural colors causing meat iridescence has received only little attention. Former review articles focused mostly on the biochemical or physical mechanisms rather than the interplay between them, in particular the role that structural colors play. While from an economic point of view, meat iridescence might be considered negligible, an enhanced understanding of the underlying mechanisms and the interactions of light with meat microstructures can improve our overall understanding of meat color. Therefore, this review discusses both biochemical and physicochemical aspects of meat color including the origin of structural colors, highlights new color measurement methodologies suitable to investigate color phenomena such as meat iridescence, and finally presents approaches to modulate meat color in terms of base composition, additives, and processing.

Abstract
The Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. IMAU:80679 (LM) was chosen for its superior capability in enhancing redness, and was incubated in a broth system containing metmyoglobin (MetMb) to investigate its mechanisms for color improvement. The a* value of LM group reached its highest level of 52.75 ± 1.04 at 24 h, significantly higher than control of 19.75 ± 0.6 (p < 0.05). The addition of LM could inhibit myoglobin oxidation to some extent. Meanwhile, higher content of nitrosylmyoglobin (NOMb) and Zn-protoporphyrin (Znpp) were observed in LM samples during the whole incubation period. Furthermore, enzymatic activity and encoded genes related to MetMb reduction and pigment formation were determined to explain its possible mechanism on color enhancement. Finally, by extracting crude enzymes and adding them to meat batters, the redness of crude enzyme group was comparable to that achieved with 20 ppm nitrite, providing a potential method on compensating for nitrite/nitrate substitution in meat products.

Abstract
The microbiological and chemical stability of stuffing is crucial in meat processing. Small ruminant (lamb) meat has many nutritional advantages (fatty acid composition and ratio, high biological value of protein, source of zinc, and selenium) but is poorly utilized in processing. In this experiment, we determined the effects of physical (sonication), chemical (salt, curing salt, and air access), and microbiological (acid whey) factors on the microbiological and chemical stability of lamb meat stuffing. Proximate composition and fatty acids profile, pH, water activity, lipid oxidation, color parameters, and microbiology examinations were performed in fresh meat stuffing and on the fifth day of refrigerated storage. Ultrasound treatment of the meat with whey reduced its acidity and increased the oxidative stability of fats but did not modify the water activity and color of the stuffing. Stuffing sonication did not affect the growth of LAB but reduced the number of Entereobacteriace, especially in the presence of whey and salt. The treatment of lamb meat stuffing with low-frequency and medium-intensity ultrasound assisted by the addition of acid whey and salt is a technique conducive to reducing the use of nitrates in meat technology and their consumption by consumers.

Abstract
In this study, the impacts of loin ham with sorbitol-mediated curing on its physicochemical properties and bacterial community composition during fermentation and ripening were investigated. The salt content, pH, and water activity (aw) were lower in the sorbitol group than in the control group throughout the fermentation and ripening stages (P < 0.05). In addition, the L* values were higher in the sorbitol group (P < 0.05). Additionally, microbial diversity diminished in all groups as the fermentation and ripening process proceeded, with Lactobacillus turning into the dominant genus in the control group and Staphylococcus and Lactobacillus becoming dominant in the sorbitol group. Pearson's correlation analysis confirmed that the physicochemical properties have been significantly correlated with the bacterial community. In conclusion, sorbitol-mediated curing not only facilitates salt reduction while prolonging the storage period of loin ham, but also improves the distribution of bacterial community in loin ham and enhances its quality.

Abstract
A large amount of zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP) is found in nitrite/nitrate-free dry-cured meat products, such as Parma ham, and is known to contribute to the favorable bright red color of the latter. ZnPP is a metalloporphyrin, in which zinc is coordinated, instead of iron, in the porphyrin ring. ZnPP proved to be more stable than heme, and its formation should be favored in dried meat products to improve color without the addition of nitrites or nitrates. Toward that, understanding the mechanisms of formation of ZnPP in nitrite/nitrate-free dry-cured ham would be important. In this lecture, I introduce some of our research group's findings regarding the endogenous and exogenous factors contributing to the formation and distribution of ZnPP in Parma ham and why ZnPP formation is suppressed in common cured meat products.
