Abstract
Spaghetti meat (SM) is a newly identified muscle abnormality that significantly affects modern broiler chickens, consequently exerting a substantial economic impact on the poultry industry worldwide. However, investigations into the meat quality and the underlying causative factors of SM in broilers remain limited. Therefore, this study was undertaken to systematically evaluate meat quality and muscle fiber characteristics of SM-affected meat. To elucidate the disparities between SM-affected and normal (NO) muscles in broiler chickens reared under identical conditions, we selected 18 SM-affected breast tissues and 18 NO breast tissues from 200 broiler chickens raised according to commercial standards under the same conditions for our study. The results showed that compared with the NO group, the muscle surface of the SM group lost integrity, similar to strip and paste. The brightness and yellowness values were significantly higher than those of the NO group. On the contrary, the shear force and protein were significantly lower in the SM group. Microscopic examination revealed that the muscle fibers in the SM group were lysed, necrotic, and separated from each other, with a large number of neutrophils diffusely distributed on the sarcolemma and endometrium. Thirty-five significantly different metabolites were observed in the breast muscles between both groups. Among them, the top differential metabolites-14,15-DiHETrE, isotretinoin, L-malic acid, and acetylcysteine-were mainly enriched in lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways, including linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, phenylalanine, and histidine metabolism. Overall, these findings not only offer new insights into the meat quality and fiber traits of SM but also contribute to the understanding of potential mechanisms and nutritional regulators for SM myopathy.

Abstract
The effects of salt-sensitive alginate ("A") and a two-component salt-tolerant alginate system ("B") used at a 0.5% or 1.0% level were evaluated in normal breast (NB) chicken fillets and in spaghetti meat (SM) fillets. Minced raw and cooked SM samples showed higher cooking loss (p < 0.05) and lower penetration force compared to NB meat. Both alginate systems significantly raised the penetration force in raw samples and decreased cooking loss (p < 0.05). Adding 1% of "A" or 0.5% "B" to SM, without salt, resulted in a similar penetration force as the cooked NB meat, while 1% "B" with salt resulted in a higher penetration force. Excluding salt from SM samples while adding alginate "A" or "B" improved texture profiles, but not to the same level as using NB without additives. Overall, salt, together with alginate "B", improved the texture of SM to that of normal meat without myopathy.

Abstract
Starting in approximately 2010, broiler breast meat myopathies, specifically woody breast meat, white striping, spaghetti meat, and gaping have increased in prevalence in the broiler meat industry. Omic methods have been used to elucidate compositional, genetic, and biochemical differences between myopathic and normal breast meat and have provided information on the factors that contribute to these myopathies. This review paper focuses on the genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and other omics research that has been conducted to unravel the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of these myopathies and their associated factors and potential causes. SIGNIFICANCE: This review manuscript summarizes poultry meat quality defects, also referred to as myopathies, that have been evaluated using omics methods. Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and other methodologies have been used to understand the genetic predisposition, the protein expression, and the biochemical pathways that are associated with the expression of woody breast meat, white striping, and other myopathies. This has allowed researchers and the industry to differentiate between chicken breast meat with and without myopathic muscle as well as the environmental and genetic conditions that contribute to differences in biochemical pathways and lead to the phenotypes associate with these different myopathies.

Assessment of meat quality attributes of four commercial broiler strains processed at various market weights. Poult Sci 2023; 102:102571.

Abstract
As the demand for poultry meat continues to rise, industry production is constantly challenged with obtaining consumer needs. Integrators have answered this increasing demand by improving the growth rate of broilers allowing for increased production efficiently. The resulting broiler produces higher yields and a larger quantity of fresh poultry to satisfy consumer needs. However, this increase in efficiency has cost integrators as new quality issues continue to manifest through global production. Therefore, the objective of the current experiment was to evaluate the effect of genetic strain (standard and high yielding) and target weight on meat quality attributes such as pH, water holding capacity (WHC), and tenderness, alongside meat quality defects such as breast and tender myopathies. In the current study, 1,800 broilers from 4 commercial strains (2 high breast yielding (HY) and 2 standard yielding (SY) were raised sex separate to evaluate meat quality trends over time at 6 previously defined market weights. Birds were processed at weights ranging from 2,043 to 4,313 g in 454 g increments. HY strains produced higher breast and tender yields than those of SY strains (P < 0.05). There was an increase in breast and tender yield as target weight increased (P < 0.05) for both HY and SY strains. Differences were observed between strains for all fillet dimensions (P < 0.05); however, these measurements increased as target weight increased as expected. Woody breast (WB) had a higher severity (P < 0.05) in HY strains over SY strains, for both males and females. Differences were observed in white striping (WS; P < 0.05) for females in both strains, but no differences were observed in males. A main effect of target was noticed for both WB and WS (P < 0.05), expressing increased severity as target weight increased. Shear values were influenced more by target weight (P < 0.05), but inconsistent differences were observed between HY and SY groups. Meullenet-Owens Razor Shear (MORS) energy values increased slightly as target weights increased (P < 0.05) from 2,951 to 4,313 g in both males and females, but differences were minor and inconsistent with the smaller carcass weights. The MORS peak counts generally increased as target weight increased for both sexes. While strain had minimal effects on meat quality attributes, processing weight had a greater influence on quality, specifically muscle myopathies, WHC, and shear properties.

Abstract
The study aimed to determine the technological and sensory properties of the breast and thigh muscles of geese from the Polish native varieties: Kartuska (Ka) and Suwalska (Su) (from northern Poland) as well as Lubelska (Lu) and Kielecka (Ki) (from southern Poland). The color parameters: L*, a*, b*, ΔE, C, h°, total heme pigments (THPs), and share of myoglobin (Mb), metmyoglobin (MMb), and oxymyoglobin (MbO2) in muscles were determined. In terms of technological properties, the following were determined: pH24, water-binding capacity (WBC), water-holding capacity (WHC), cooking (CL), and roasting losses (RL). In addition, a sensory evaluation of the raw meat color was performed. In roasted meat, a sensory evaluation and texture profile analysis (TPA) were carried out, as well as the shear force (SF) and chemical composition were determined. Roasted muscles of varieties native to northern Poland (Ka and Su) were higher in lipids (P≤0.05) than the muscles of southern varieties (Lu and Ki). Ka meat had the highest protein content, and Lu meat had the lowest (P≤0.05). The raw muscle color sensory evaluation results, the THP, and the L* and ΔE values indicated that the darkest color among the studied genotypes were the Ka muscles, and the lightest was Ki meat (P≤0.05). Lu's muscles are distinguished by better usability for processing and culinary purposes than the muscles of the other genotypes due to high pH24, WBC, WHC, and low RL and CL of thigh muscles, as well as high WHC and low RLs of the breast muscles (P≤0.05). Due to the tenderness, juiciness, and high general evaluation (P≤0.05), the best sensory features among the studied genotypes were found in the Ka breast and thigh muscles. The low SF value proved the higher tenderness of Ka geese muscles.

Abstract
The combined effects of different severities of Wooden Breast (WB), White Striping (WS), and Spaghetti Meat (SM) were examined in 300 chicken breast fillets from 10 flocks. Severity (0 = absent, 1 = mild, noticeable upon close inspection, 2 = severe), noticeably altered from normal breast fillet (NB). Results showed that any combination of myopathies and severity resulted in significantly elevated compression force, pH and peak counts measured by the shear force test. With the exception of mild WB + mild WS, all combinations resulted in significantly higher drip loss, cooking loss and lightness value. Overall, the quality of fillets was affected the least by WS, while negatively affected the most by SM. There were limited effects on fillet quality from mild WB but major deleterious effects from severe WB.

Abstract
The use of caseinate, whole milk powder, and two whey protein preparations (WP; 2% w/w) was studied in minced meat made with normal breast (NB), and ones showing spaghetti meat (SM). SM is an emerging myopathy known for muscle fiber separation and lower protein content, costing $100s of millions to the industry. Using SM without dairy proteins resulted in a higher cooking loss (SM: 3.75%, NB: 2.29%; p < 0.05), and lower hardness (SM: 29.83 N, NB: 34.98 N), and chewiness (SM: 1.29, NB: 1.56) compared to NB. Using dairy proteins, except WP concentrate and WP isolate, significantly improved yield and increased hardness. Adding WP isolate to SM resulted in a similar texture profile as NB samples without dairy proteins (34 and 35 N hardness; 0.22 and 0.24 springiness; 1.57 and 1.59 chewiness values, respectively). Adding caseinate and whole milk to SM showed a more substantial effect of improving water-holding capacity, increasing hardness, gumminess, and chewiness compared to adding WP; i.e., adding caseinate and milk powder resulted in higher values for those parameters compared to NB without additives. Overall, it is shown that dairy proteins can be added to SM to produce minced poultry meat products with similar or higher yield and texture profiles compared to using normal breast fillets.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of the Arginine/Lysine (Arg/Lys) ratio in low- and high-methionine (Met) diets on the sarcoplasmic protein profile of breast muscles from turkeys reared under optimal or challenge (Clostridium perfringens infection) conditions were determined. One-day-old Hybrid Converter female turkey poults (216 in total) obtained from a commercial hatchery on hatching day, and on the basis of their average initial body weight were randomly allocated to 12 pens (4 m2 each; 2.0 m × 2.0 m) containing litter bedding and were reared over a 42-day experimental period. Diets with high levels of Lys contained approximately 1.80% and 1.65% Lys and were offered in two successive feeding periods (days 1–28 and days 29–42). The supplemental levels of Lys were consistent with the nutritional specifications for birds at their respective ages as established in the Management Guidelines for Raising Commercial Turkeys. The experiment was based on a completely randomized 3 × 2 × 2 factorial design with three levels of Arg (90%, 100% and 110%) relative to the content of dietary Met (30 or 45%) and without (−) or with (+) C. perfringens challenge at 34, 36, or 37 d of age. Meat samples were investigated in terms of pH, color, and sarcoplasmic protein profile. The experimental factors did not influence meat quality but the dietary Arg content affected meat color. The sarcoplasmic protein profile was influenced by all studied factors, and glycolytic enzymes were the most abundant. This study evidenced strong association between the challenge conditions and the involvement of glycolytic enzymes in cell metabolism, particularly in inflammatory processes, and DNA replication and maintenance in turkeys. The results showed an effect of C. perfringens infection and feeding with different doses of Arg and Met may lead to significant consequences in cell metabolism.

Abstract
This study investigated postmortem muscle protein degradation and myowater properties in broiler breasts afflicted with the Spaghetti Meat (SM) myopathy during 7 days of storage. Severe SM and unaffected (NORM) breast fillets were analyzed at days 0, 3, and 7 postmortem for TD-NMR myowater traits, myofibrillar protein profiles, calpain activity, free calcium, and desmin and troponin-T degradation patterns. Only at day 0, muscle histology, fiber size and sarcomere length were assessed on multiple fillet portions. In SM breasts, the intramyofibrillar water population exhibited longer relaxation times (p = 0.0172) and a lower proportion (p = 0.0118) compared to NORM. SM had a greater proportion of extramyofibrillar water (p = 0.0080) possessing a longer relaxation time (p = 0.0001). Overall, the SM myopathy had only a minor impact on the myofibrillar proteins profiles and did not affect either free calcium concentration, calpain activity, or the degradation of desmin and TnT, while storage time strongly affected all the traits measured. At microscopic level, muscle tissue from SM fillets exhibited the typical indicators of myodegeneration mostly in the superficial-cranial portion of the breast, while fiber size and sarcomere length were similar between the two muscle conditions irrespectively from the portion considered. The lack of overall significant interaction effects between muscle condition and storage period suggested that SM and NORM breast meat experience similar proteolytic and physical changes during the postmortem period.

Abstract
Spaghetti meat (SM) is a recent muscular abnormality that affects the Pectoralis major muscle of fast-growing broilers. As the appellative suggests, this condition phenotypically manifests as a loss of integrity of the breast muscle, which appears soft, mushy, and sparsely tight, resembling spaghetti pasta. The incidence of SM can reach up to 20% and its occurrence exerts detrimental effects on meat composition, nutritional value, and technological properties, accounting for an overall decreased meat value and important economic losses related to the necessity to downgrade affected meats. However, due to its recentness, the causative mechanisms are still partially unknown and less investigated compared to other muscular abnormalities (i.e., White Striping and Wooden Breast), for which cellular stress and hypoxia caused by muscle hypertrophy are believed to be the main triggering factors. Within this scenario, the present review aims at providing a clear and concise summary of the available knowledge concerning SM abnormality and concurrently presenting the existing research gaps, as well as the potential future developments in the field.

Wooden breast (WB), white striping (WS) and spaghetti meat (SM) are breast myopathies of the Pectoralis major that greatly affect meat quality in broilers. To differentiate color and texture characteristics with instrumental methods, some of them applied for the first time in this species, 300 carcasses were randomly chosen from an abattoir from five different flocks from the same farm, at a rate of 60 carcasses from each flock. Twenty-four hours after slaughter, both side breasts were dissected, and yields calculated. Color was measured on the surface of the breast with a spectrocolorimeter and reflectance values obtained. Texture was measured on raw meat with a modified compression test that hinders the fiber from expanding transversally and a texture profile analysis (TPA) and also on cooked meat with a Warner-Bratzler shear and a TPA. Color differs between severity degrees, increasing redness (from -1.77 to -1.32 in WB) and, especially, yellowness (from 5.00 to 6.73 in WS) and chroma (from 5.75 to 7.22 in SM) with the severity of the myopathy. The subtraction R630 minus R580 was found to be a useful index to differentiate breast myopathies degrees. The modified compression test can be considered an effective tool to assess the hardness of different structures in each myopathy. Texture differences in the myopathies are better assessed in raw than in cooked meat.
