Assessment of the effects of dry and wet aging on dark-cutting Nellore beef meat by TD-NMR and H NMR approaches.

This study assessed the physicochemical parameters, water distribution, and metabolic profiles of wet- and dry-aged dark-cutting Nellore beef meat using TD-NMR and H NMR techniques alongside chemometric analysis. We analysed eight Nellore carcasses (Longissimus lumborum) aged for 28 days using both wet and dry methods. Post-aging, we noted significant reductions in water activity and moisture content in dry-aged samples, while lipid levels remained largely unchanged compared to unaged samples.

Antibiotic Residues in Raw Cow's Milk: A Systematic Review of the Last Decade.

The inappropriate use of antimicrobials in dairy animals can lead to residues in raw milk and in dairy products. Foods containing residues of this nature, whether in the short, medium, or long term, cause serious health harm. Absence of these compounds in foods should be a premise for declaring safety.

Performance, carcass, and meat traits of locally adapted Brazilian cattle breeds under feedlot conditions.

Little is known about the performance, carcass, and meat traits of locally adapted cattle in Brazil. This study aimed to compare the growth, slaughter, and carcass traits as well as meat quality of two local breeds (Curraleiro Pé-Duro and Pantaneiro) with the Nelore breed. Fifteen 30-month-old steers of each breed were weighted (Curraleiro Pé-Duro = 264.

A t-test ranking-based discriminant analysis for classification of free-range and barn-raised broiler chickens by H NMR spectroscopy.

Intensive systems of raising chickens in barns prevail worldwide for financial reasons. In contrast, free-range chickens are raised in better welfare conditions, and preferred by consumers due to their distinctive taste/flavor, having higher market prices. Thus, free-range chickens have been the target of frauds.
