JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:1030-1038.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumbling treatment is widely used in the production of cooked ham. However, traditional intermittent tumbling (IT) treatment is time-consuming. To enhance the tumbling efficiency, high-intensity ultrasound was used to assist IT treatment (UIT). RESULTS UIT treatment reduced the tumbling time and significantly improved the water holding capacity, tenderness, sliceability and texture of cooked ham compared to IT treatment. Furthermore, more violent destruction of meat tissue was exhibited in the UIT treatment. This change facilitated extraction of more salt-soluble protein, which in turn welded meat pieces tightly and improved the quality of the cooked ham. CONCLUSION UIT treatment could accelerate the tumbling process and enhance the quality of cooked ham. These results may provide guidance on effective strategies for a high-quality meat production process. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The effects of ultrasonic curing with various frequencies on sodium chloride (NaCl) mass transfer in pork muscle and its potential mechanisms were investigated. The results showed that ultrasound curing dramatically increased the NaCl content in pork compared to static curing, especially curing at 26.8 kHz. The binarized images of NaCl penetration in pork visually confirmed that ultrasound enhanced the efficiency of mass transfer. Energy dispersive spectroscopy showed that the distribution of NaCl in pork tissue cured by ultrasound was the densest compared to the static curing. According to impedance analysis and microstructure observation, the structure of cell membranes was damaged to different extents during ultrasound treatments. The potential mechanisms of low-frequency ultrasound accelerated curing are mainly attributed to the action of acoustic cavitation and the sponge effect. Overall, the low-frequency ultrasound is a promising revolutionary technology in the food industry that can speed up the curing process of meat.

Abstract
Salted and tumbled pork teres major muscle samples, with varying sodium chloride content (1.1 % to 1.9 %), were examined by UV fluorescence spectroscopy. Results indicated that muscle fluorescence varies with salt level as a consequence of the protein denaturation state. The 1.5 % NaCl level was the threshold beyond which the fluorescence properties no longer changed markedly. Changes in muscle fluorescence do not appear to be linearly related to salt levels. Hence, we explored whether the change in fluorescence relies on other factors relating to the variability of carcass characteristics and on muscle physicochemical changes that are partly dependent on stress response and on postmortem metabolism evolution.

Impact of Tumbling Process on the Toughness and Structure of Raw Beef Meat Pieces. Foods 2021; 10:foods10112802. [PMID: 34829083 PMCID: PMC8618118 DOI: 10.3390/foods10112802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Tenderness is a major factor in consumer perception and acceptability of beef meat. Here we used a laboratory tumbling simulator to investigate the effectiveness of the tumbling process in reducing the toughness of raw beef cuts. Twelve Semitendinosus beef muscles from cows were tumbled according to four programs: T1 (2500 consecutive compression cycles (CC), for about 3 h), T2 (6000 CC, about 7.5 h), T3 (9500 CC, about 12 h), and T4 (13,000 CC, about 16 h). The effect of tumbling on the toughness of raw meat was assessed using compression tests (stresses measured at 20% and 80% of deformation ratios) and microscopic observations made at the periphery and centre of meat samples, and compared against non-tumbled controls. Longer tumbling times significantly reduced the stresses measured at 20% and 80% compression rates, which reflected the toughness of muscle fibres and connective tissue, respectively. At the microscopic level, longer tumbling times led to reduced extracellular spaces, increased degradation of muscle structure, and the emergence of amorphous zones. A 12-h tumbling protocol ultimately makes the best compromise between the process time demand and toughness reduction in beef Semitendinosus meat pieces.

Abstract
High salt content is one of the major problems for stewed products. To help address this issue, the effect of salt reduction on water migration in stewed ducks was investigated through diverse approaches, including water activity (Aw) and water-holding capacity (WHC) assay, as well as low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation. Our results showed that Aw value remained stable, while centrifugal loss decreased, and cooking loss increased significantly (p < 0.05). The analysis of NMR indicated that, during the marinating stage, the proportion of immobilized water increased from 86.86%-89.66% (sodium chloride group) and 90.51% (salt-reduced group), respectively. After 2 h, the free water content became 0, and then became stable until the end of marinating. In the stewing stage, at the beginning 20 min, relaxation time of immobilized water decreased to about 35 ms and the ratio of immobilized water significantly reduced (p < 0.05) by 5.38% (sodium chloride group) and 5.95% (salt-reduced group), respectively. Free water peak was detected upon stewing of 10 min, and 20 min later, there was no significant difference in the proportion of free water (p > 0.05). In general, no significance was observed in water behavior and microstructure of stewed duck meat between the salt reduction group and sodium chloride group. In addition, SEM analysis revealed that marinating could expand the muscle fiber gap to accommodate more immobilized water. However, the fiber was looser at the initial stage of stewing and then became more compact. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This work demonstrates potentially feasible to produce salt-reduced duck products.

Abstract
Meat emulsions were prepared by replacing water with basic electrolyzed water (BEW) and reducing NaCl content by 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%. The emulsions were sonicated in an ultrasound bath (25 kHz, 175 W, normal mode) for 0, 10, and 20 min. The physicochemical (pH, redox potential, water activity, and color parameters) and technological (cooking yield, emulsion stability, and texture) characteristics were evaluated. The US operation time of 20 min improved the emulsion stability, cooking yield, and texture of the emulsions with 10% and 20% NaCl reduction. The BEW-treated emulsions exhibited good fat retention and moderate water retention capacity. The combination of US and BEW for 20 min provided good emulsion stability and cooking yield for the formulations with up to 30% NaCl reduction, which exhibited texture profile similar to the control (0% NaCl reduction). Therefore, it is possible to produce reduced-salt meat emulsions using the combination of US and BEW.
