Edible Offal as a Valuable Source of Nutrients in the Diet-A Review.

The global increase in demand for meat leads to substantial quantities of by-products, including edible offal from both wild and domesticated animals raised for diversified consumption products within an agricultural framework. Information on the nutritional value of offal is scattered and limited. This review aims to synthesize scientific publications on the potential of offal as a source of nutrients and bioactive substances in human diets.

Influence of sonication pretreatment on antiradical and anti-ACE activity of protein hydrolysates from fermented pork loins.

The aim of this study was to assess whether ultrasound treatment (sonification time: 5, 15, and 30 min; constants: ∼40 kHz, ∼2.5 W cm2) can be applied prior to hydrolysis to enhance the anti-radical and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibiting (anti-ACE) effect of the hydrolysates from fermented pork loins. Enzymatic hydrolysis was performed using pepsin, followed by pancreatin.

Long-matured cured meats from Poland and Europe compared - An overview.

This review aimed to present different varieties of long-matured cured meats, such as cold cuts, sausages, and hams produced in Poland, and compare them with similar European products. Moreover, we briefly presented the impact of meat products on human health. Due to its significant production in Poland, most meat products are made of pork.

Combined Effect of Acid Whey Addition and Ultrasonic Treatment on the Chemical and Microbiological Stability of Lamb Stuffing.

The microbiological and chemical stability of stuffing is crucial in meat processing. Small ruminant (lamb) meat has many nutritional advantages (fatty acid composition and ratio, high biological value of protein, source of zinc, and selenium) but is poorly utilized in processing. In this experiment, we determined the effects of physical (sonication), chemical (salt, curing salt, and air access), and microbiological (acid whey) factors on the microbiological and chemical stability of lamb meat stuffing.

Consumers' Perception and Preference for the Consumption of Wild Game Meat among Adults in Poland.

Wild game meat can be a healthier, safer, and more environmentally friendly alternative to meat from farm animals. The aims of this study were to know the preferences and opinions of Polish consumers regarding game meat and its use in their diet, and to identify consumer segments based on differences in individual game meat choices, concerns, and eating habits related to game meat. The survey was conducted using the platform for online surveys among 1261 adult Poles.

Fatty Acid Profile and Antioxidative Properties of Peptides Isolated from Fermented Lamb Loin Treated with Fermented Milk.

This study evaluated the impact of fermented milk maceration on fermented lamb loin without nitrate to obtain peptides with high activity against oxidative changes (ABTS, DPPH, reducing power) as well as a favorable fatty acid profile, including CLA content. Additionally, an attempt was made to evaluate the influence of the lamb breed on the assessed properties. Raw loins () obtained from sheep of three polish breeds-Wrzosówka, Uhruska, and Świniarka-and fermented products were tested.

Influence of Sonication and Addition on the Antioxidant and Anti-ACE Activity of Protein Extracts from Beef Marinated with Sour Milk and after In Vitro Digestion.

The present study assessed the effect of pretreating beef as a raw material for sous vide steak preparation. The pretreatment involved maceration of a batch of meat in sour milk with the simultaneous use of ultrasound (250 or 500 W) as well as the addition of . The biological activity profile of the peptides was assessed in terms of their antioxidant activity and inhibiting activity against angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).

Physicochemical properties of pork loin marinated in kefir, yoghurt or buttermilk and cooked sous vide.

Background: The most important qualities of meat and meat products include tenderness, juiciness and color. Sour meat marinating is a commonly used technique. In the available literature, there are no reports on the use of fermented dairy products (FDP) for meat marinating.

The influence of sonication on the oxidative stability and nutritional value of organic dry-fermented beef.

Organic beef was dry fermented in sea salt (C) or acid whey (W). In order to test the effect of ultrasound, the W sample was subjected to sonication (U10) in an ultrasonic bath (10 min, 40 kHz, 480 W). The effect of sonication on fatty acid (FA) composition (%) and atherogenicity, thrombogenicity, hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic, peroxidistability indexes (AI, TI, h/H, and PI, respectively), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value, and color parameters were investigated during ripening period (31, 62, and 93 days).
