JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:6242-6251. [PMID: 38456730 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The pickling process with NaCl is an essential step for pork preservation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different ultrasonic intensities of tri-frequency simultaneous ultrasound (TSIU) pickling on the NaCl content and quality of pork (longissimus dorsi). After 30 min pickling, the NaCl content, moisture content, pickling yield, cooking loss, textural properties, color, pH, moisture migration and distribution as well as microstructure of pork were assessed. RESULTS Results showed that among all the ultrasonic treatment intensities (85-150 W L-1), the NaCl content of the sample pickled by an intensity of 101.3 W L-1 was higher than that of other intensities. TSIU 101.3 W L-1 showed 59.95% higher NaCl content than the control sample. In addition, the sample treated with TSIU of 101.3 W L-1 had higher pickling yield and moisture content, better textural properties of pork (including hardness and chewiness), and less cooking loss. The results of the low-field nuclear magnetic resonance showed that, compared with the control group, the relaxation time T21 of the ultrasound-assisted pickling samples increased, while the proportion of T22 (A22) reduction ranged from 175.0% to 379.9%. The microstructure designated that the ultrasonic treatment could facilitate changes in meat texture. CONCLUSION Ultrasound marination of different intensities promoted the diffusion of NaCl and affected the quality of pork tenderloins. The TSIU at 101.3 W L-1 could better accelerate NaCl transport and homogeneous distribution on meat, thereby improving the sample quality. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Evaluation of ultrasound-assisted tomato sour soup marination on beef: Insights into physicochemical, sensory, microstructural, and flavour characteristics. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 110:107028.

Abstract
This study evaluated the quality attributes of tomato sour soup marinade and investigated the effects of ultrasound-assisted marination on the physicochemical properties, microstructure, texture, sensory quality, and flavour profile of beef. The results showed that tomato sour soup significantly increased the marinade absorption rate and improved beef tenderloin's physicochemical properties, texture, and flavour attributes compared to static brine (P < 0.05), with organic acids playing an essential role in the marinade tenderisation process. Compared to static sour soup marination, ultrasound treatment significantly accelerated the marination process, reducing beef's shear force, hardness, and chewiness while increasing its tenderness. Microstructural observations revealed that sour soup marination induced a fragmented and irregular muscle fibre structure. Furthermore, sour soup marination significantly increased the relative concentrations of volatile flavour compounds, including alkanes, organic sulphides, alcohols, aldehydes, and aromatic compounds. Appropriate ultrasound treatment positively affects the texture and flavour characteristics of beef marinated with tomato sour soup, and the optimal approach was 320 W ultrasound treatment for 60 min. Overall, tomato sour soup improved beef's textural and flavour attributes, while ultrasound-assisted marination is an effective processing method to improve the quality of meat products.

Abstract
Curation meat products involves multiple stages, including pre-curing processing (thawing, cleaning, and cutting), curing itself, and post-curing processing (freezing, and packaging). Ultrasound are nonthermal processing technology widely used in food industry. This technology is preferred because it reduces the damages caused by traditional processing techniques on food, while simultaneously improving the nutritional properties and processing characteristics of food. The utilization of ultrasonic-assisted curing technology has attracted significant attention within the realm of meat product curing, encouraging extensive research efforts. In terms of curing meat products, ultrasonic-assisted curing technology has been widely studied due to its advantages of accelerating the curing speed, reducing nutrient loss, and improving the tenderness of cured meats. Therefore, this article aims to comprehensively review the application and mechanism of ultrasound technology in various stages of meat product curing. Furthermore, it also elaborates the effects of ultrasonic-assisted curing on the tenderness, water retention, and flavor substances of the meat products during the curing process. Besides, the implication of the ultrasound in the processing of meat curation plays a potent role together with other technologies or methods. The use of ultrasound technology in the process of meat curation was analyzed, which might be a theoretical insight for the industrialization prospects of the meat product.

Abstract
This research aims to investigate the effect of different ultrasonic powers cooking on the quality of pork meatballs. Pork meatballs treated with ultrasound-assisted cooking at 450 W had the most uniform and smooth structures displayed by scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, with increasing ultrasonic powers, the water retention capacity of pork meatballs first increased and then decreased, compared with the non-ultrasound group, when the ultrasonic power was 450 W, the cooking yield of pork meatballs increased from 82.55% to 92.87%, and the centrifugal loss decreased from 25.35% to 11.52%. Additionally, ultrasound-assisted cooking had a positive effect on the moisture migration, tenderness, and sensory property of pork meatballs, and 450 W sample exhibited the highest overall acceptability score (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the physicochemical properties and microstructure of pork meatballs could be improved by appropriate ultrasonic power, and ultrasonic technology was considered as an effective processing method for improving the quality of meat products.

The combined effects of ultrasound and plasma-activated water on microbial inactivation and quality attributes of crayfish during refrigerated storage. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 98:106517. [PMID: 37454538 PMCID: PMC10371844 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a decontamination technology combining ultrasound (US) and plasma-activated water (PAW) was developed to better preserve crayfish. First, the decontamination efficacy of US, PAW and their combinations (UP) on crayfish was quantified after 0, 20, 40, or 60 min of treatments. The total viable count (TVC) was reduced by 0.27-0.77 Log CFU/g after individual US or PAW treatments, while a TVC reduction of 1.17 Log CFU/g was achieved after 40 min of UP treatment. Besides, the changes in psychrotrophic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and molds followed a similar trend to TVC. UP treatments normally resulted in more significant reductions in the natural microbiota of crayfish than US or PAW treatments. Furthermore, the microbial quality, physicochemical properties and sensory properties of crayfish after different treatments were assessed during storage at 4 °C for 12 days. According to TVC and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) values, the control group became unacceptable from 4 days, US or PAW groups became unacceptable from 6 days, while UP group extended the storage time to 8-10 days. During storage, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values of all the groups were maintained below 0.5 mg/kg, among which the control group exhibited the highest value (0.39 mg/kg). Moreover, UP treatment effectively retarded the deterioration in color and texture properties of crayfish. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis indicated that UP treatment decreased the α-helix contents and increased the β-sheet contents of crayfish proteins, while the structural changes were not evident at the end of storage. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) analysis revealed that UP treatment reduced the water migration and enhanced the stability of bond water in crayfish. In addition, E-nose analysis revealed the protection of UP treatment on the sensory properties of crayfish during storage. This study demonstrated that the combinations of US and PAW treatments effectively accelerated the decontamination of crayfish and contributed to better storage quality.

Abstract
The curing stage is of great importance in flavor formation during Chinese bacon processing. Ultrasound-assisted curing plays an essential role in the Lipid oxidation of meat products. In this study, GC-MS and electronic nose were used to analyze the influence of different power ultrasonic-assisted curing on the flavor formation of Chinese bacon. Through the analysis of phospholipid and lipase, the fundamental precursors of ultrasonic on the flavor of Chinese bacon were determined. It was found that there were differences in the flavor contour description of Chinese bacon between the ultrasonic treatment group, mainly due to the change in the W1W sensor. A total of 28 volatile compounds were detected by GC-MS, and the aldehyde content increased with ultrasonic power. PC and PE are the main flavor precursors in the curing process. This study provides a theoretical basis for improving the curing technology of Chinese bacon.

Abstract
Traditional processing methods can no longer meet the demands of consumers for high-quality muscle food. As a green and non-thermal processing technology, ultrasound has the advantage of improving processing efficiency and reducing processing costs. Of these, the positive effect of power ultrasound in the processing of muscle foods is noticeable. Based on the action mechanism of ultrasound, the factors affecting the action of ultrasound are analyzed. On this basis, the effect of ultrasound technology on muscle food quality and its action mechanism and application status in processing operations (freezing-thawing, tenderization, marination, sterilization, drying, and extraction) is discussed. The transient and steady-state effects, mechanical effects, thermal effects, and chemical effects can have an impact on processing operations through complex correlations, such as improving the efficiency of mass and heat transfer. Ultrasound technology has been proven to be valuable in muscle food processing, but inappropriate ultrasound treatment can also have adverse effects on muscle foods. In the future, kinetic models are expected to be an effective tool for investigating the application effects of ultrasound in food processing. Additionally, the combination with other processing technologies can facilitate their intensive application on an industrial level to overcome the disadvantages of using ultrasound technology alone.
