ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 104:106824. [PMID: 38412679 PMCID: PMC10907868 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024]
Abstract
Ultrasonication, a technology that employs high-frequency sound waves, has demonstrated potential for modifying the properties of various food items. However, the effect of ultrasonication on chicken meat, particularly concerning amino acid composition and flavor enhancement, has not been sufficiently investigated. The objective of this research was to bridge the gap in the literature by exploring the impact of various ultrasonic treatments at varying power levels (300, 500, and 800 W) and durations (10 and 30 min) on the physicochemical characteristics, texture, and amino acid profile of chicken breast meat, with a focus on improving its palatability and flavor. The results indicated that ultrasonication reduced the pH and cooking loss, as well as hardness and chewiness while simultaneously increasing lightness and yellowness values of chicken breast meat. Moreover, ultrasonication enhanced the amounts of essential amino acids, including glutamic acid, alanine, and glycine as well as the free amino acid content, which gives meat its savory and umami flavor. Furthermore, the results demonstrated significant changes in the texture and structure, as demonstrated by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, and in chemical makeup of chicken breast meat, as indicated by the FTIR spectra. These modifications in the molecular and microstructural characteristics of meat, as induced by ultrasonication, may contribute to the enhancement of tenderness, juiciness, and overall palatability.

Modelling inactivation of Staphylococcus spp. on sliced Brazilian dry-cured loin with thermosonication and peracetic acid combined treatment. Int J Food Microbiol 2019; 309:108328. [PMID: 31518953 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2019.108328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2018] [Revised: 06/25/2019] [Accepted: 08/24/2019] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Ultrasound (US) has a high capacity to increase food safety. Although high and/or moderate temperature in combination with US has been studied, the knowledge about cooling/low temperatures as well as its combined effect with chemical preservation methods is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the inactivation of Staphylococcus spp. (SA) present in the natural microbiota of sliced Brazilian dry-cured loin (Socol, BDL) using US (40 kHz and 5.40 W/g) at 1.6-17.9 kJ/g, temperature (T) between 6.4 and 73.6 °C and peracetic acid (PA) between 5.5 and 274.5 mg/L employing the Central Composite Rotatable Design. The model fully describes how the combination of US, T, and PA affects SA inactivation. In BDL, an increase in US acoustic energy density (kJ/g) allows the reduction of T necessary to inactivate SA because of the occurrence of synergistic effect. However, US applied at low T was inefficient. On the other hand, PA was more efficient at low T, since high T degraded this compound at different rates according to the holding T. Therefore, the data indicates a relation between the technologies used in the combined decontamination of sliced BDL improving dry-cured meat safety.
