Maggiolino A, Forte L, Landi V, Pateiro M, Lorenzo JM, De Palo P. Enhancement of culled ewes' meat quality: Effects of aging method and time. Food Chem X 2024; 23:101687. [PMID: 39170069 PMCID: PMC11338153 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/20/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
This study assesses the impact of wet and dry aging, over 35 days, on various physico-chemical, colorimetric, oxidative, volatolomic, and sensory attributes of meat from culled ewes. Water holding capacity of dry-aged (DA) meat increased from day 28 and was significantly higher than wet-aged (WA) meat. Cooking loss of DA meat decreased, and it was lower than that of WA meat. Warner Bratzler shear force increased in DA meat but decreased in WA meat during aging. Higher oxidation product concentration in DA meat likely results from oxygen exposure. Some aldehydes and ketones peaked at day 7 in DA meat, surpassing levels in WA meat. Overall liking scores favored DA meat at day 14 and 21 but declined from day 14 to 35, coinciding with increased pentanal content. Dry aging could improve the acceptability of culled ewes' meat more than wet aging, but in short aging time (14 days).

Zhou B, Zhao X, Laghi L, Jiang X, Tang J, Du X, Zhu C, Picone G. Insights into the Flavor Profile of Yak Jerky from Different Muscles Based on Electronic Nose, Electronic Tongue, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Gas Chromatography-Ion Mobility Spectrometry. Foods 2024; 13:2911. [PMID: 39335840 PMCID: PMC11431100 DOI: 10.3390/foods13182911] [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: 08/17/2024] [Revised: 09/04/2024] [Accepted: 09/13/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
It is well known that different muscles of yak exhibit distinctive characteristics, such as muscle fibers and metabolomic profiles. We hypothesized that different muscles could alter the flavor profile of yak jerky. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the differences in flavor profiles of yak jerky produced by longissimus thoracis (LT), triceps brachii (TB) and biceps femoris (BF) through electronic nose (E-nose), electronic tongue (E-tongue), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). The results indicated that different muscles played an important role on the flavor profile of yak jerky. And E-nose and E-tongue could effectively discriminate between yak jerky produced by LT, TB and BF from aroma and taste points of view, respectively. In particular, the LT group exhibited significantly higher response values for ANS (sweetness) and NMS (umami) compared to the BF and TB groups. A total of 65 and 47 volatile compounds were characterized in yak jerky by GC-MS and GC-IMS, respectively. A principal component analysis (PCA) model and robust principal component analysis (rPCA) model could effectively discriminate between the aroma profiles of the LT, TB and BF groups. Ten molecules could be considered potential markers for yak jerky produced by different muscles, filtered based on the criteria of relative odor activity values (ROAV) > 1, p < 0.05, and VIP > 1, namely 1-octen-3-ol, eucalyptol, isovaleraldehyde, 3-carene, D-limonene, γ-terpinene, hexanal-D, hexanal-M, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone-M and ethyl formate. Sensory evaluation demonstrated that the yak jerky produced by LT exhibited superior quality in comparison to that produced by BF and TB, mainly pertaining to lower levels of tenderness and higher color, taste and aroma levels. This study could help to understand the specific contribution of different muscles to the aroma profile of yak jerky and provide a scientific basis for improving the quality of yak jerky.

Volatile Compounds for Discrimination between Beef, Pork, and Their Admixture Using Solid-Phase-Microextraction-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) and Chemometrics Analysis. Food Sci Anim Resour 2024; 44:934-950.

Abstract
This study addresses the prevalent issue of meat species authentication and adulteration through a chemometrics-based approach, crucial for upholding public health and ensuring a fair marketplace. Volatile compounds were extracted and analyzed using headspace-solid-phase-microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Adulterated meat samples were effectively identified through principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). Through variable importance in projection scores and a Random Forest test, 11 key compounds, including nonanal, octanal, hexadecanal, benzaldehyde, 1-octanol, hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, octanoic acid, and 2-acetylpyrrole for beef, and hexanal and 1-octen-3-ol for pork, were robustly identified as biomarkers. These compounds exhibited a discernible trend in adulterated samples based on adulteration ratios, evident in a heatmap. Notably, lipid degradation compounds strongly influenced meat discrimination. PCA and PLS-DA yielded significant sample separation, with the first two components capturing 80% and 72.1% of total variance, respectively. This technique could be a reliable method for detecting meat adulteration in cooked meat.

Abstract
The present study used a comprehensive analysis combining headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS) to investigate changes in volatile compounds and phospholipid molecules in grilled lambs. The results revealed 19 key volatile compounds (OAV > 1) involved in the grilling process of lambs. Additionally, UPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis detected 142 phospholipid molecules in grilled lamb, with phosphatidylcholine exhibiting the highest content (36.62 %), followed by phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidyl glycerol, and phosphatidic acid. Through partial least squares analysis, 63 key differential phospholipids were identified. Principal component analysis of the key differential phospholipids and volatile compounds indicated that phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidyl ethanolamine phospholipids are the key substrates in forming volatile compounds in grilled lambs. This information is essential for precisely regulating the flavor profile, enhancing the grilling process, and minimizing the production of harmful compounds in grilled meat products.

Abstract
Cooked beef flavour is influenced by formation and release of odour-active volatiles. We hypothesised the aroma of cooked beef is affected by the concentration of heme proteins and free iron. To test our hypothesis, we spiked ground beef semitendinosus with different concentrations of hemoglobin or free iron. The patties were then grilled, and their volatile profiles were measured using gas chromatography - mass spectrometry and their sensory attributes were measured by a trained sensory panel. We found that spiking hemoglobin at 2 mg/g could suppress the release of linear aldehydes while increasing the formation of some Maillard-derived volatiles, which could potentially reduce the livery odour. The addition of free iron at 13.48 µg/g increased the livery and oxidised fat odour of cooked beef by increasing the formation of typical lipid-derived volatiles, such as 1-octen-3-ol, hexanal, and several akylfurans.

Abstract
The dry ageing is a historically relevant method of meat preservation, now used as a way to produce the dry-aged beef (DAB) known for its pronounced flavour. Partially responsible for the taste of the DAB may be various microorganisms that grow on the surface of the meat. Historically, the fungal species colonising the DAB were described as members of the genera Thamnidium and Mucor. In this study we used both culture based approach as well as ITS2 rDNA metabarcoding analysis to investigate the fungal community of the DAB, with special emphasis on the mucoralean taxa. Isolated fungi were members of 6 different species from the family Mucoraceae, belonging to the genera Mucor and Helicostylum. Metabarcoding data provided supplementary information regarding the presence of other fungi including those from the Thamnidium genus. In both approaches used in this study isolates closely related to the Mucor flavus strain CBS 992.68 dominated.

Abstract
The intramuscular fat (IMF) content is considered an important factor for assessing meat quality, and is highly related to meat flavor. However, in donkey meat, the influences of IMF content on lipid and volatile profiles remain unclear. Thus, we conducted lipidomic and volatilomic investigations on high- and low-IMF samples from donkey longissimus dorsi muscle. When the IMF level increased, the monounsaturated fatty acid (especially oleic acid) content significantly increased but the saturated fatty acid content decreased (p < 0.05). Twenty-nine of 876 lipids showed significant differences between the two groups. Volatile profiles from differential IMF content samples were also distinct. Five differential volatile odorants were identified in the two groups: 2-acetyl-2-thiazoline, octanal, 2-pentylfuran, pentanal, and 1-(2-pyridinyl) ethanone. Additionally, strong correlations were found between differential fatty acids and lipids with differential odorants. Thus, the difference in volatile odorants may result from the change in the fatty acid composition and lipid profiles induced by different IMF contents, highlighting the urgent need to increase IMF levels in donkey meat.

Abstract
Post-mortem aging could enhance the unique flavors of beef via several biochemical pathways. The microbiota is one of the important factors in the flavor development of aging beef, but their potential relationship has rarely been studied. This study characterized the apparent meat quality, flavor profiles, and microbial communities of beef during the different post-mortem processes, followed by the investigation of the correlations between the dominant microbiota and key volatile compounds. The results showed that wet-aged beef has a higher product yield and more stable color than dry-aged beef, as evidenced by the significantly lower value of aging loss and discoloration (ΔE). According to the odor activity value, 11 out of 65 compounds were categorized as aroma-active components, and 9 of them, including 1-pentanol, 1-octen-3-ol, hexanal, nonanal, heptanal, octanal, 2-nonenal, (E)-, 2-octenal, (E)- and 2-decenal, (E)-, were enriched in beef wet-aged for 7 d. Significant variances were found in the microbial communities of different aging beef. Of these, 20 microbiota (with 10 bacterial and 10 fungal genera) were recognized as the dominant genus. Partial least squares regression combined with a correlation network model revealed that five microbial genera, including Trichosporon, Prauserella, Rhodotorula, Malassezia, and Corynebacterium, constituted the functional microbiota responsible for flavor formation in aging beef and were positively associated with ≥7 key volatile compounds (p < 0.05, |ρ| > 0.7). This study suggests that the application of wet aging within 7 d on beef is better for meat quality and provides novel insights into the mechanisms of flavor formation in post-mortem aging beef via functional microbiota.

Abstract
To comprehensively understand the volatile flavor composition of dry-rendered beef fat, solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) with four extraction solvents (dichloromethane, pentane, ethyl ether, and methanol) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactormetry (GC-O) were performed. GC-MS analysis found 96 different volatile compounds in total using the four extraction solvents. According to the GC-MS results and the heat map and principal component analysis (PCA), most of the volatile compounds resulted from dichloromethane and pentane extraction, followed by ethyl ether. Methanol extraction found a few volatile compounds of higher polarity, which was supplementary to the analysis results. Moreover, GC-O analysis found 73 odor-active compounds in total using the four extraction solvents. The GC-O results found that pentane and dichloromethane extraction had a significantly larger number of odor-active compounds than ethyl ether and methanol extraction. This indicated that pentane and dichloromethane were more effective solvents for the extraction of odor-active compounds than the other two solvents. Finally, a total of 15 compounds of odor-active values (OAVs) ≥ 1 were determined to be the key aroma compounds in the dry-rendered beef fat, including 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, 3-methylthiopropanal, (E,E)-2,4-nonadienal, 12-methyltridecanal, and 1-octen-3-one.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of in-the-bag dry-ageing (BDA) (21 and 42 d) on meat quality, palatability, and volatile compounds of clod heart, brisket, and flat iron cuts from steers. In all cuts, BDA increased moisture losses (P < 0.05), but this did not reduce the juiciness of 21 d BDA versus wet-aged (WA) steaks. In clod heart, BDA increased overall tenderness at 21 d compared to 21 d WA (P < 0.01). Regardless of ageing period, BDA of clod heart increased beef flavour and salty taste and decreased sour-dairy and stale/cardboard flavours and concentrations of volatile compounds derived from lipid oxidation compared to WA (P < 0.05). In brisket, BDA increased salty taste and fatty aroma and reduced bloody/serumy flavour, whereas decreased beef and buttery flavours and intensified some unpleasant aromas/flavours (P < 0.05) for both ageing periods. The BDA of flat iron increased several undesirable aromas/flavours and decreased sweet taste and beef and buttery flavours (P < 0.05), regardless of ageing period. Overall, BDA for 42 d decreased meat quality and palatability and increased concentrations of volatile compounds from lipid oxidation, especially in flat iron cuts. Value could be recovered by customizing BDA periods by cut.

Hernandez MS, Woerner DR, Brooks JC, Legako JF. Descriptive Sensory Attributes and Volatile Flavor Compounds of Plant-Based Meat Alternatives and Ground Beef. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28073151. [PMID: 37049914 PMCID: PMC10096055 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28073151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to characterize descriptive sensory attributes and volatile compounds among ground beef (GB) and plant-based meat alternatives (PBMA). The Beyond Burger, Impossible Burger, a third brand of PBMA, regular GB, and lean GB were collected from local and national chain grocery stores. Patties were formed and cooked on an enamel-lined cast iron skillet to an internal temperature of 71 °C. A trained descriptive sensory panel evaluated patties for 17 flavor attributes and 4 texture attributes. Volatile compounds were extracted using solid phase microextraction and analyzed via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Distinct differences in sensory and volatile profiles were elucidated (p < 0.05). PBMA possessed decreased beef flavor intensity and increased umami, nutty, smokey-charcoal, and musty/earthy flavor compared to GB. Sensory differences corresponded with pyrazine, furan, ketone, alcohol, and aldehyde concentration differences between products. These data support the conclusion that ground beef and PBMA possess different flavor and texture characteristics. Furthermore, the flavor of PBMA varied among available retail brands.

Abstract
Flavour is a key driver of consumer liking, and odour-active volatiles formed in cooking are important contributors to the flavour of cooked beef. We hypothesised that the formation of odour-active volatiles in beef are influenced by the contents of type I oxidative and type II glycolytic muscle fibres. To test our hypothesis, we combined ground masseter (type I) and cutaneous trunci (type II) into beef patties, cooked them, then their volatile profiles were analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Antioxidant capacity, pH, total heme protein, free iron, and fatty acid composition of these patties were also measured to investigate their relationship to volatile formation. Our study showed that beef composed of more type I fibres had higher 3-methylbutanal and 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, but less lipid-derived volatiles, and this could be partially attributed to the higher antioxidant capacity, pH, and total heme protein content in type I fibres. The results of our study indicate that fibre-type composition plays an important role in volatile formation and hence flavour of beef.

Effects of Chitosan/Collagen Peptides/Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil Composite Coating on the Quality of Dry-Aged Beef. Foods 2022; 11:foods11223638.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the chitosan/collagen peptides/cinnamon bark essential oil composite coating on dry-aged beef. Chitosan (2%, w/v), collagen peptides (1%, w/v), and cinnamon bark essential oil (1%, v/v) were homogenized to obtain the coating. Beef samples were divided into three groups (traditional dry-ageing, in-bag dry-ageing, and coating and then dry-ageing) and dry-aged for 42 days. Physiochemical, microbial, and sensorial parameters of samples were determined during the dry-ageing process. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in pH values, shear force values, cooking loss, color, juiciness, tenderness, and flavor across groups. The total volatile base nitrogen value of the coating group was lower than those of the other two groups. Compared to traditional dry-ageing, in-bag and coating dry-ageing reduced (p < 0.05) many volatile compounds such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and acetate. In-bag and coating dry-ageing had no impact on the fungal community, but changed the bacterial community by inhibiting Pseudomonas. This study demonstrates that the chitosan/collagen peptides/cinnamon bark essential oil coating reduces microbial spoilage during dry-ageing, and has a small influence on product quality.

Abstract
The traditional charcoal technique was used to determine the changes in the key aroma compounds of Tan mutton during the roasting process. The results showed that the samples at the different roasting time were distinguished using GC-MS in combination with PLS-DA. A total of 26 volatile compounds were identified, among which 14 compounds, including (E)-2-octenal, 1-heptanol, hexanal, 1-hexanol, heptanal, 1-octen-3-ol, 1-pentanol, (E)-2-nonenal, octanal, 2-undecenal, nonanal, pentanal, 2-pentylfuran and 2-methypyrazine, were confirmed as key aroma compounds through the odor activity values (OAV) and aroma recombination experiments. The OAV and contribution rate of the 14 key aroma compounds were maintained at high levels, and nonanal had the highest OAV (322.34) and contribution rate (27.74%) in the samples after roasting for 10 min. The content of α-helix significantly decreased (P < 0.05), while the β-sheet content significantly increased (P < 0.05) during the roasting process. The content of random coils significantly increased in the samples roasted for 0-8 min (P < 0.05), and then no obvious change was observed. At the same time, β-turn content had no obvious change. Correlation analysis showed that the 14 key aroma compounds were all positively correlated with the content of α-helix and negatively correlated with the contents of β-sheet and random coil, and also positively correlated with the content of β-turn, except hexanal and 2-methypyrazine. The results are helpful to promoting the industrialization of roasted Tan mutton.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current knowledge about proteomic and metabolic changes in beef, the microbiological alteration postmortem and during aging, and observe the influence on beef quality parameters, such as tenderness, taste and flavor. This review will also focus on the different aging types (wet- and dry-aging), the aging or postmortem time of beef and their effect on the proteome and metabolome of beef. The Ca2+ homeostasis and adenosine 5'-triphosphate breakdown are the main reactions in the pre-rigor phase. After rigor mortis, the enzymatic degradation of connective tissues and breakdown of energy metabolism dominate molecular changes in beef. Important metabolic processes leading to the formation of saccharides, nucleotides, organic acids (e.g. lactic acid), creatine and fatty acids are considered in this context as possible flavor precursors or formers of beef flavor and taste. Flavor precursors are substrates for lipid oxidation, Strecker degradation and Maillard reaction during cooking or roasting. The findings presented should serve as a basis for a better understanding of beef aging and its molecular effects and are intended to contribute to meeting the challenges of improving beef quality.

Characterization of Volatile Profiles and Correlated Contributing Compounds in Pan-Fried Steaks from Different Chinese Yellow Cattle Breeds through GC-Q-Orbitrap, E-Nose, and Sensory Evaluation. Molecules 2022; 27:3593. [PMID: 35684525 PMCID: PMC9182176 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27113593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
This study focused on characterizing the volatile profiles and contributing compounds in pan-fried steaks from different Chinese yellow cattle breeds. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of six Chinese yellow cattle breeds (bohai, jiaxian, yiling, wenshan, xinjiang, and pingliang) were analyzed by GC-Q-Orbitrap spectrometry and electronic nose (E-nose). Multivariate statistical analysis was performed to identify the differences in VOCs profiles among breeds. The relationship between odor-active volatiles and sensory evaluation was analyzed by partial least square regression (PLSR) to identify contributing volatiles in pan-fried steaks of Chinese yellow cattle. The results showed that samples were divided into two groups, and 18 VOCs were selected as potential markers for the differentiation of the two groups by GC-Q-Orbitrap combined multivariate statistical analysis. YL and WS were in one group comprising mainly aliphatic compounds, while the rest were in the other group with more cyclic compounds. Steaks from different breeds were better differentiated by GC-Q-Orbitrap in combination with chemometrics than by E-nose. Six highly predictive compounds were selected, including 3-methyl-butanal, benzeneacetaldehyde, 2-ethyl-6-methyl-pyrazine, 2-acetylpyrrole, 2-acetylthiazole, and 2-acetyl-2-thiazoline. Sensory recombination difference and preference testing revealed that the addition of highly predictive compounds induced a perceptible difference to panelists. This study provides valuable data to characterize and discriminate the flavor profiles in pan-fried steaks of Chinese yellow cattle.
