Abstract
The growing demand for sustainable and ethical food options has led to significant advancements in plant-based meat substitutes (PBMS). PBMS have made considerable progress in simulating the taste, texture, and sensory properties of animal meat. Connective tissue is a fundamental component of animal meat that significantly influences tenderness, texture, and sensory properties. However, the imitation of realistic connective tissues has received relatively less attention in the PBMS industry. The current work focuses on exploring materials and techniques for the replication of plant-based connective tissues (PBCT). By understanding the structural and functional characteristics of animal connective tissues (ACT), it is possible to replicate these characteristics in PBCT. Hydrogels, with their ability to simulate certain properties of ACT, present a viable material for the creation of PBCT. To achieve the desired simulation, their mechanical and structural properties need to be enhanced by using several materials and several physical techniques.

[PMID: 38908105 DOI: 10.1016/j.meatsci.2024.109570] [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: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
The work aimed to study the effect of four drying methods, namely constant temperature hot air drying (HD), microwave drying (MD), hot air microwave drying (HMD), and gradient hot air drying (GHD), on quality characteristics of dried yak meat. The analyses of physicochemical, textural, flavor, and sensory characteristics were carried out based on these four drying methods. The results revealed that microwave dried yak jerky exhibited better color and received the highest sensory score. Hardness of samples were affected by the drying methods, which showed significant differences. There were 21 free amino acids (FAAs) detected in dried yak samples. The samples treated by microwave drying showed the highest total free amino acid content (73.30 mg/100 g) and the EUC value was significantly higher than other methods, indicating the sample displayed greater flavor. A total of 153 volatile compounds were identified in dried yak meat samples, primarily including aldehydes, ketones, and esters. Moreover, the sensory evaluation indicated that the drying methods could significantly affect on color, flavor, and overall acceptability of different samples. Microwave drying samples scored higher than other drying methods. Overall, considering aspects of quality, time savings, and energy efficiency, microwave drying of yak jerky emerges as a more satisfactory option. This study could provide important theoretical support for the application of drying methods to improve the quality of yak jerky and enhance production efficiency.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 110:107029. [PMID: 39163693 PMCID: PMC11381469 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.107029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2024] [Revised: 08/07/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/22/2024]
Abstract
The challenge of meat quality degradation due to transportation difficulties in high-altitude plateaus underscores the importance of an efficient thawing process for Tibetan pork to ensure its quality. This study compared four thawing methods ultrasound thawing (UT), refrigerator thawing (RT), hydrostatic thawing (HT), and microwave thawing (MT) to assess their impact on the quality of Tibetan pork, focusing on thawing loss, tenderness, color variation, and alterations in protein secondary structure and moisture content. Additionally, the study examined the impact of thawing on the metabolites of Tibetan pork using metabolomics techniques. The results indicated that UT yielded the highest quality samples. UT significantly accelerated the thawing rate and had minimal impact on tenderness compared to traditional thawing methods. Moreover, protein and lipid oxidation levels were reduced by UT treatment. Furthermore, it enhanced the binding capacity of protein and water molecules, reduced drip loss, and maintained meat color stability. What's more, amino acid metabolites such as l-glutamic acid, l-proline, oxidized glutathione, and 1-methylhistidine played a significant role in thawing oxidation in Tibetan pork, exhibiting a positive correlation with protein oxidation. UT resulted in a notable decrease in the levels of hypoxanthine and 2-aminomethylpyrimidine, contributing to the reduction of bitterness in the thawed meat and consequently enhancing the freshness of Tibetan pork. This study offers novel insights into understanding the biological changes occurring during the thawing process, while also furnishing a theoretical framework and technical assistance to improve the quality of Tibetan pork and propel advancements in food processing technology.

Abstract
This study investigated proteomic changes in Penaeus vannamei in half-dried and dried shrimp using tandem mass-tag technology. After performing the drying treatment, the tandem mass-tag results revealed 1,162,306 spectra, 2997 quantifiable proteins, and 72 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) compared with that in the untreated group. A total of 29 DEPs were found in the half-dried shrimp, while 49 DEPs were found in the dried shrimp. Bioinformatic analyses based on Gene Ontology term enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment, and protein-protein interactions showed that the DEPs were primarily involved in protein structure and fat metabolism. A correlation analysis between the DEPs and quality indicators showed that 45 DEPs were significantly associated with shrimp quality traits, with certain proteins potentially representing markers of color and texture. Of these, arthrodial cuticle protein AMP16.3 might be a protein marker for color, while heat shock protein 21, WH2 domain-containing protein, and myosin heavy chain 1 might be markers of shrimp muscle textural properties. These results provide a systematic understanding of the quality difference between half-dried and dried P. vannamei from the perspective of proteomics and have potential scientific significance and practical value for improving the quality of dried products.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of ultrasound-assisted immersion freezing (UIF) at different power rates (0, 200, 400, and 600 W) on the changes in beef quality and flavor after braising. The results demonstrated that UIF treatment at 400 W significantly reduced the juice loss (cooking loss decreased from 49.04% to 39.74%) and fat oxidation (TBARS value decreased from 0.32 mg/kg to 0.20 mg/kg) of braised beef. In addition, the tenderness (hardness value decreased from 5601.50 g to 2849.46 g) and color stability of braised beef were improved after UIF treatment. The flavor characteristics of braised beef were characterized using an electronic nose and an electronic tongue. The PCA analysis data showed that the cumulative contribution rates of the first and second principal components were 85% and 93.2%, respectively, with the first principal component accounting for a higher proportion. The UIF-400 W group had the highest concentration for the first principal component, and the differentiation was not significant compared to the control group. The total amino acid values of different power UIF treatment groups were improved compared to the AF treatment group, indicating that UIF can effectively reduce the losses caused by freezing. The results demonstrate that ultrasound-assisted freezing treatment is beneficial in enhancing the tenderness and flavor attributes of beef after braising, providing new insights into the processing of meat products with desirable quality characteristics.

Abstract
This study focused on understanding the effects of yeast and mold on the sensory properties of dry-cured ham aged at 20°C and 25°C. Debaryomyces hansenii isolated from Doenjang and fermented sausages, and Penicillium nalgiovense isolated from fermented sausages were utilized. The CIE a* tended to increase in all treatments as the aging period increased. At 6 weeks of aging, DFD25 showed a significantly higher CIE a* value than other treatments. The shear force tended to increase in all treatments as the aging period increased. At 6 weeks of aging, among the treatments aged at 25°C, DFD25 showed a low tendency to shear force. The PC1 of the electronic nose was 42.872%. At 25°C, the hexane content was higher and levels of ethanol, propan-2-one, 2,4,5-trimethylthiazole, and limonene were lower than that at 20°C. DFD25 showed significantly higher hexane content and significantly lower limonene content than other treatments. The PC1 of the electronic tongue was 84.529%. All treatments, except for the C starter, exhibited higher salt and lower sour levels at 25°C compared to 20°C when the same starter was used. The DFD25 showed the lowest sour taste and a higher tendency of umami than the other treatments. Sensory evaluation revealed that DFD25 had significantly higher scores for texture than C25, whereas no significant differences were observed in other aspects. Therefore, the used starters are considered suitable for aging at 25°C; among them, the DFD starter demonstrates superior qualities and enhanced commercial potential compared to the control.

Abstract
A combined pretreatment method of "low temperature-ultrasound-papain" (LTUP) was proposed to remove the purine of pork loins. Compared with untreated pork loin, under optimal conditions (temperature 58 °C, ultrasound density 100 W/cm2, and papain concentration 0.085%), the purine removal rate of treated pork loin could reach 59.29 ± 1.39%. The meat quality of pork loin treated with the LTUP method such as hardness and chewiness decreased by 58.37% and 64.38%, respectively, and the in vitro protein digestibility was increased by 19.64%; the cooking loss was decreased by 15.45%, compared with the simulated household blanching process (HT). In view of the high purine removal rate, the losses of free amino acids and soluble peptides were acceptable and reasonable. SEM and LF-NMR results showed that low temperature and ultrasound combined with papain treatment opened a channel for purine transfer and promoted purine dissolution by affecting the protein structure of pork loin. In addition, the migration of water within the muscle tissue was also related to purine removal. In summary, LTUP is recommended as an efficient and green way for the meat industry to remove purine.

Effect of accelerated aging on shelf-stability, product loss, sensory and biochemical characteristics in 2 lower quality beef cuts. Meat Sci 2024; 213:109513.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the impact of accelerated aging (AA) on shelf stability, product loss, sensory and biochemical characteristics of 2 lower quality beef cuts. Triceps brachii (TB) and semimembranosus (SM) were collected and fabricated from 10 USDA Choice beef carcasses and assigned to 1 of 6 treatments: 3 d cooler aged (control), 21 d cooler aged, AA 49 °C for 2 h, AA 49 °C for 3 h, AA 54 °C for 2 h, and AA 54 °C for 3 h. The results showed that AA can decrease APC counts on steak surface and in purge and redness, but increase lightness and product loss of the steaks (P < 0.01). Lower shear force was also found for AA steaks compared to those from the control (P < 0.01), with the AA 54 °C treatments being comparable to 21 d cooler aging. However, the trained sensory panel determined AA steaks were less juicy and flavorful than those from the control and 21 d cooler aged samples (P < 0.05). There was no off-flavor detected in AA steaks though lipid oxidation was higher in AA samples than those in the control steaks (P < 0.01). The AA treatments stimulated cathepsin activity (P < 0.05), which may have enhanced the solubilization of stromal proteins and led to a different troponin-T degradation pattern compared to those from the 21 d aged samples (P < 0.01). Although AA is an economical and time-efficient method to increase tenderness of lower-quality beef cuts, further research is needed to determine strategies to mitigate the decrease in juiciness from AA treatments.

Meat Sci 2024; 213:109478. [PMID: 38460233 DOI: 10.1016/j.meatsci.2024.109478] [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: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the mechanism of cooking intensity on the tenderness of stir-fried pork slices from the perspective of the changes in temperature distribution. Infrared thermal imaging was used to monitor the distribution of temperature. Results showed that the high-level heat (HH) treatment could improve tenderness. When the center temperature increased to 100 °C, the shear force of samples from the low-level heat (LH) group increased by around 3-fold, and HH reduced this upward trend. This result was mainly attributed to the shorter heating time undergone by the HH-treated samples compared to the LH treatment, which resulted in less structural shrinkage and faster passing through the protein denaturation interval of the samples. These changes alleviated temperature fluctuations caused by water loss. This explanation could be confirmed by the results of T2 relaxation time and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). However, the LH treatment caused a slower rise in oil temperature due to more moisture migration, which required the samples to undergo longer thermal denaturation, leading to a deterioration in tenderness. Moreover, histological analysis revealed that the greater integrity of endomysium in the HH group inhibited water loss and oil absorption, which contributed to obtain low-fat meat products with higher tenderness. This study provides support for the industrialization of traditional pork cuisines using oil as the heating medium.

Deng T, Liang M, Du L, Li K, Li J, Qian L, Xue Q, Qiu S, Xu L, Zhang L, Gao X, Li J, Lan X, Gao H. Transcriptome Analysis of Compensatory Growth and Meat Quality Alteration after Varied Restricted Feeding Conditions in Beef Cattle. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2704. [PMID: 38473950 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25052704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Compensatory growth (CG) is a physiological response that accelerates growth following a period of nutrient limitation, with the potential to improve growth efficiency and meat quality in cattle. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, 60 Huaxi cattle were divided into one ad libitum feeding (ALF) group and two restricted feeding groups (75% restricted, RF75; 50% restricted, RF50) undergoing a short-term restriction period followed by evaluation of CG. Detailed comparisons of growth performance during the experimental period, as well as carcass and meat quality traits, were conducted, complemented by a comprehensive transcriptome analysis of the longissimus dorsi muscle using differential expression analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), gene set variation analysis (GSVA), and weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). The results showed that irrespective of the restriction degree, the restricted animals exhibited CG, achieving final body weights comparable to the ALF group. Compensating animals showed differences in meat quality traits, such as pH, cooking loss, and fat content, compared to the ALF group. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 57 genes and 31 pathways differentially regulated during CG, covering immune response, acid-lipid metabolism, and protein synthesis. Notably, complement-coagulation-fibrinolytic system synergy was identified as potentially responsible for meat quality optimization in RF75. This study provides novel and valuable genetic insights into the regulatory mechanisms of CG in beef cattle.

Abstract
Treating livestock as senseless production machines has led to rampant depletion of natural resources, enhanced greenhouse gas emissions, gross animal welfare violations, and other ethical issues. It has essentially instigated constant scrutiny of conventional meat production by various experts and scientists. Sustainably in the meat sector is a big challenge which requires a multifaced and holistic approach. Novel tools like digitalization of the farming system and livestock market, precision livestock farming, application of remote sensing and artificial intelligence to manage production and environmental impact/GHG emission, can help in attaining sustainability in this sector. Further, improving nutrient use efficiency and recycling in feed and animal production through integration with agroecology and industrial ecology, improving individual animal and herd health by ensuring proper biosecurity measures and selective breeding, and welfare by mitigating animal stress during production are also key elements in achieving sustainability in meat production. In addition, sustainability bears a direct relationship with various social dimensions of meat production efficiency such as non-market attributes, balance between demand and consumption, market and policy failures. The present review critically examines the various aspects that significantly impact the efficiency and sustainability of meat production.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of processing on the quality, protein oxidation, and structural properties of yak meat. The cooking loss, Warner-Bratzler shear force, meat color, texture, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance, total carbonyl content (TCC), total sulfhydryl content (TSC), and structural properties of yak meat under frying, drying, and boiling were measured. The results showed that the cooking loss rate, shear force, L* value, hardness, elasticity, and chewiness of yak meat increased (p < .05) and the a* value decreased (p < .05) with increasing central temperature after processing. Fried yak meat at 80°C had the lowest cooking loss rate of 42.21% and the lowest shear force of 50.86 N, which had better textural characteristics, followed by boiling, while the maximum cooking loss rate, hardness, and shear force were 1.40 times, 1.26 times, and 1.2 times that of frying, respectively. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substance was obtained after decoction and peaked at 1.88 ± 0.04 mmol/mg at 60°C. The highest TCC and the lowest TSC were obtained for dried proteins at 80°C. In addition, as the central temperature increased, the helical structure in the protein secondary structure decreased, the disordered structure increased, the fluorescence intensity of myofibrillar proteins decreased, and protein degradation occurred. It was concluded that dried yak meat had the highest protein oxidation and the worst quality, while fried yak meat had the lowest protein oxidation and the best quality.

Abstract
This study aims to elucidate the mechanism behind the deterioration in the gel properties of collagen gel resulting from high-temperature treatment. The results show that the high level of triple-helix junction zones and related lateral stacking contribute to the dense and orderly collagen gel network with high gel strength and storage modulus. The analysis of the molecular properties of heated collagen shows that high-temperature treatment leads to serious denaturation and degradation of collagen, resulting in the formation of gel precursor solutions composed of low-molecular-weight peptides. The short chains in the precursor solution are not easy to nucleation and can limit the growth of triple-helix cores. To conclude, the decrease in triple-helix renaturation and crystallization abilities of peptide components is the reason for the deterioration in the gel properties of collagen gel induced by high temperature. The findings presented in this study add the understanding of texture deterioration in high-temperature processed collagen-based meat products and related products, and provide a theoretical basis for establishing methods to overcome the production dilemma faced by these products.

Abstract
Sous-vide (SV) is a method of cooking previously vacuum-packed raw materials under strictly controlled conditions of time and temperature. Over the past few years, scientific articles have explored the physical, biochemical, and microbiological properties of SV cooking. In this review, we provide a critical appraisal of SV as an alternative method of meat cooking, including the types of methods, types of SV meat products, and effects of SV parameters on the meat quality and the mechanisms of transformation taking place in meat during SV cooking. Based on the available data, it can be concluded that most research on the SV method refers to poultry. The yield of the process depends on the meat type and characteristics, and decreases with increasing temperature, while time duration does not have an impact. Appropriate temperatures in this method make it possible to control the changes in products and affect their sensory quality. Vacuum conditions are given a minor role, but they are important during storage. The limited number of studies on the approximate composition of SV meat products makes it challenging to draw summarizing conclusions on this subject. The SV method allows for a higher microbiological quality of stored meat than conventional methods. The literature suggests that the SV method of preparing beef, pork, and poultry has many advantages.

Abstract
The effects of vacuum cooking (VC), traditional cooking (TC), and high-pressure cooking (HPC) on the physicochemical properties and texture of yak meat and the digestibility of yak meat and intramuscular connective tissue (IMCT) were investigated. Compared with VC treatment, TC and HPC treatment significantly increased meat cooking loss and meat hardness (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the carbonyl content of yak meat of TC and HPC was 3.73 nmol/mg protein, and the free sulfhydryl content was 7.93 nmol/mg protein, indicating that more protein was oxidized at higher temperatures. Oxidative aggregation of proteins caused by cooking reduced meat digestibility by about 25%. However, cooking reduced the undigested residue of IMCT and promoted its digestion. Principal component analysis showed that the physicochemical, texture, oxidation, and protein digestibility of TC and HPC meat were similar but significantly different from VC meat.

Mechanism of textural properties changes of cooked chicken in early postmortem: Effect of protein degradation induced by calpain on heating shrinkage. Food Chem 2023; 417:135901.

Abstract
Although the relationship between myofibrillar protein status and cooked meat quality is well documented, its underlying mechanism still need to be clarified. In this study, the effect of calpain-induced myofibrillar degradation on the cooked chicken quality was discussed by comparing the difference in muscle fiber's heat shrinkage state. In early postmortem, the protein around Z-line was degraded, which would cause the unstable Z-line and released into the sarcoplasm, according to WB results. This phenomenon will aggravate the lateral contraction of muscle fragments during the heating process. Then along comes a higher cooking loss and lower texture properties of meat. Above findings indicate that the Z-line dissociation caused by calpain in the early postmortem period is an essential reason for the quality difference of mature chicken. This study provided a fresh light on the mechanism underlying the impact of myofibril degradation in the early postmortem on the quality of cooked chicken.

Abstract
There are limited reports about the effect of different heat treatments on the quality and flavor of Black Tibetan sheep meat. The current study examined the effect of pan-frying, deep-frying, baking, and boiling treatment on the quality of Black Tibetan sheep meat; the amino acid, fatty acid, and volatile flavor compounds (VFCs) were investigated by a texture analyzer, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility (HS-GC-IMS). The key VFCs were identified through orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA), and variable importance projection (VIP) values. In addition, Pearson’s correlations between meat quality parameters and key VFCs were examined. The sensory scores, including texture, color, and appearance, of baked and pan-fried meat were higher than those of deep-fried and boiled meat. The protein (40.47%) and amino acid (62.93 µmol/g) contents were the highest in pan-fried meat (p < 0.05). Additionally, it contained the highest amounts of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic, linoleic, and α-linolenic acids (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, pan-fried and deep-fried meat had higher amounts of VFCs than baked meat. The OPLS-DA similarity and fingerprinting analyses revealed significant differences between the three heat treatment methods. Aldehydes were the key aroma compounds in pan-fried meat. Importantly, 3-methylbutyraldehyde and 2-heptanone contents were positively correlated with eicosenoic, oleic, isooleic, linoleic, α-Linolenic, and eicosadiene acids (p < 0.05). To sum up, pan-fried Black Tibetan sheep meat had the best edible, nutritional, and flavor quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the influence of intramuscular connective tissue (IMCT) on structural shrinkage and water loss during cooking. Longissimus thoracis (LT), semimembranosus (SM) and semitendinosus (ST) muscles were cut and boiled for 30 min in boiling water, followed by detection of water holding capacity (WHC), tenderness, fiber volume shrinkage and protein denaturation. RESULTS Compared with LT and SM, ST had the best WHC and lowest WBSF and area shrinkage ratio. The mobility of immobilized water (T22) was key to holding the water of meat. ST contained the highest content of total and heat-soluble collagen. On the contrary, ST showed the lowest content of cross-links and decorin, which indicate the IMCT strength of ST is weaker than the other two. The heat-soluble collagen is positively correlated to T22. CONCLUSIONS The shrinkage of heat-insoluble IMCT on WHC and WBSF may partly depend on the structural strength changes of IMCT components rather than solely caused by quantitative changes of IMCT.

Abstract
High intensity ultrasound (HIUS) has a wide range of applications in different sectors of food processing. It is a promising and emerging technology demonstrating the potential to promote food processes without or at least damage to the quality of products. Among the processes of the meat industry, freezing, thawing, cooking and fermentation are very sensitive and important, because they have significant effects on product quality and are also very energy and time consuming. This review paper provides an interpretation of high intensity ultrasound (HIUS) applications, a summary of recent outstanding published research and an overview of the freezing/thawing, cooking/frying and fermentation processes in meat and its products assisted by HIUS. The effects, benefits and drawbacks as well as the challenges ahead in the commercialization of this technology in the meat industry are studied. The research results confirmed that the use of HIUS in the meat freezing/thawing, cooking/frying and fermentation in combination with the corresponding processing methods demonstrates a great potential to promote the process, improve the general quality of the final product and reduce the time and energy required. However, many issues remain that require further research to address these challenges. These challenges and subsequent research that is useful for developing and increasing the efficiency of this technology have been reviewed. After the literature review, it is concluded that HIUS may be a useful technology for meat processing because of its significant effects on the quality factors and related process variables that leads to the preservation of the initial nutritional and sensory properties of meat and its products. Of course, research must be continued to eliminate the disadvantages or minimize the undesirable effects of this technology on the final product and to remove barriers to commercialization and optimization of this method.

Integrated proteomic, phosphoproteomic, and N-glycoproteomic analyses of the longissimus thoracis of yaks. Curr Res Food Sci 2022; 5:1494-1507. [PMID: 36132491 PMCID: PMC9483648 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2022.09.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2022] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Yaks (Bos mutus) live in the Qinghai–Tibet plateau. The quality of yak meat is unique due to its genetic and physiological characteristics. Identification of the proteome of yak muscle could help to reveal its meat-quality properties. The common proteome, phosphoproteome, and N-glycoproteome of yak longissimus thoracis (YLT) were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based shotgun analysis. A total of 1812 common proteins, 1303 phosphoproteins (3918 phosphorylation sites), and 204 N-glycoproteins (285 N-glycosylation sites) were identified in YLT. The common proteins in YLT were involved mainly in myofibril structure and energy metabolism; phosphoproteins were associated primarily with myofibril organization, regulation of energy metabolism, and signaling; N-glycoproteins were engaged mainly in extracellular-matrix organization, cellular immunity, and organismal homeostasis. We reported, for the first time, the “panorama” of the YLT proteome, specifically the N-glycoproteome of YLT. Our results provide essential information for understanding post mortem physiology (rigor mortis and aging) and the quality of yak meat. A total of 2650 proteins were identified in yak longissimus thoracis. Common proteins were involved mainly in myofibril structure and energy metabolism. Phosphoproteins were associated with myofibrils, energy metabolism, and signaling. N-glycoproteins were engaged mainly in ECM organization, immunity, and homeostasis.
