This study investigated the effects of genotype, animal age, muscle type, and aging duration on meat quality characteristics of (PM), (LT), (LL), and (GM) muscles. The PM, LT, LL, and GM muscles were sourced from a total of 32 bulls, consisting of 16 humped () and 16 humpless ( × ) bulls aged 21 ± 2 and 30 ± 3 months. The muscles underwent aging durations of 0, 7, and 14 days.

During fermentation, meat is pre-treated and cured to cultivate a diverse microflora, resulting in fermented meat products with distinctive flavors. Coagulase-negative staphylococcus holds a crucial role in all fermented meat products, contributing to the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, and the creation of flavor compounds. Fermentation technology has important research value and significance in fermented meat products.

The effects of separately coinoculating S8 (LP) with L8 (LP + SC), M6 (LP + PK), and L8 and M6 (LP + SC + PK) on the flavor characteristics and biogenic amines (BAs) production in Harbin dry sausages were investigated. The coinoculated sausages exhibited higher free amino acids (FAAs) content than the noninoculated and LP sausages. Moreover, inoculated dry sausages exhibited lower BA contents (174.

Fermentation is a critical technological process for flavor development in fermented foods. The combination of odor and taste, known as flavor, is crucial in enhancing people's perception and psychology toward fermented foods, thereby increasing their acceptance among consumers. This review summarized the determination and key flavor compound screening methods in fermented foods and analyzed the flavor perception, perceptual interactions, and evaluation methods.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored how different levels of flaxseed-derived diglyceride-based high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPE) affect the properties of myofibrillar protein (MP) gels, particularly focusing on rheology and physicochemical aspects.
  • - Results showed that increasing HIPPE levels led to higher whiteness in the gels but reduced their water-holding capacity; specific interactions among protein levels changed with different HIPPE concentrations, influencing gel structure.
  • - The findings suggest that incorporating these HIPPEs, especially at lower levels, could improve the texture and nutritional profile of meat products, potentially serving as healthier fat alternatives.

Article Synopsis
  • Cancer is a leading cause of death globally, and traditional chemotherapy drugs have severe side effects and issues with drug resistance, highlighting the need for new treatments.
  • Steroidal saponins, natural compounds with significant anticancer potential, have not yet been effectively applied in clinical settings, prompting a thorough review of their antitumor effects, mechanisms, and challenges.
  • The review identifies over 40 steroidal saponin compounds, categorizes them by structure, and discusses their ability to induce cancer cell death and inhibit tumor growth, while also suggesting strategies to enhance their therapeutic effectiveness.

The study aimed to fabricate healthier beef burgers using high internal phase Pickering emulsion (HIPPE) as animal fat substitute. In this context, HIPPE stabilized by modified soy protein isolates was produced with flaxseed-derived diglycerides (DAGs). Beef burgers were prepared by substituting beef backfat with HIPPE at varying levels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%).

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined the antioxidant effects of a specific peptide from dry-cured beef (BPH) over various storage periods.
  • The researchers analyzed the interactions between the peptide (FDGDF) and an enzyme called superoxide dismutase (SOD) using advanced spectroscopy techniques and simulations.
  • Results indicated that FDGDF enhances SOD's activity and suggests potential methods for creating innovative dry-cured beef products based on these findings.

Flaxseed-derived diglyceride (DAG)-based Pickering emulsions were fabricated using soy protein isolate (SPI) nanoparticles as stabilizer. The SPI nanoparticles were prepared under the combined action of heating and ultrasound treatment. The SPI nanoparticles exposed to 600 W power exhibited the smallest particle size (133.

Article Synopsis
  • This research developed Pickering emulsions using modified soy protein isolate (SPI) as a stabilizer and flaxseed-derived diglyceride (DAG) as an oil phase, focusing on various ratios of oil to SPI.
  • The emulsions showed significant differences in droplet sizes as the oil content varied, with the most stable emulsions at a 4:1 ratio exhibiting minimal increase in droplet size during a 7-day storage period and no signs of creaming.
  • Advanced microscopy techniques revealed that emulsions with higher oil content demonstrated better structural organization, improved viscosity, and resistance to phase separation, indicating superior stability and viscoelastic properties.

This study investigated the effect of animal age, calcium chloride marination, and storage time on meat quality characteristics of buffalo bulls to suggest a cost-effective method of improving buffalo meat quality. The current study was designed considering the importance of buffalo meat and the usage of meat from spent buffalo animals in local markets of South Asian countries. A total of 36 animals comprised of 18 young and 18 spent buffalo bulls were selected.

Salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) is a vital ingredient in fermented foods, which affects their safety, texture, and flavor characteristics. Recently, the demand for reduced-sodium fermented foods has increased, as consumers have become more health-conscious. However, reducing sodium content in fermented foods may negatively affect flavor perception, which is a critical quality attribute of fermented foods for both the food industry and consumers.

The present study determined the effect of the packaging type and aging time on the meat quality of water buffalo () bulls. A total of = 36 (LL) muscles from = 18 buffalo bulls were obtained. Half LL muscles were packed in modified atmosphere packaging (Hi-O MAP), vacuum packaging (VP), and oxygen-permeable packaging (OP) on day 1, while the other half were aged for 7 days.

This trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of overwrap, vacuum, and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on poultry breast fillets' microbiological, biochemical shelf life and sensory attributes. The fillets were divided into 4 groups, and each of the treatments was replicated 3 times with 60 breast fillets. The first group was a control group with overwrap packaging; the second group was vacuum packed (VP); the third and fourth groups were MAP-1: 0% O, 40% CO, 60% N, and MAP-2: 20% O, 40% CO, 40% N.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigates the effects of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) combined with hydrogen peroxide (HO) on preventing the thermal aggregation of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) in water.
  • - Results showed that adding HO disrupts certain molecular bonds in the proteins and alters cysteine to thiol derivatives, which helps reduce protein aggregation.
  • - HIU, especially with 200 μmol/g of HO, was found to significantly improve the thermal stability of MPs by making it easier for protein structures to release buried sulfhydryl groups.

The 21st-century consumer is highly demanding when it comes to the health benefits of food and food products. In the pursuit of attracting these consumers and easing the rise in demand for high-quality meat products, the processed meat sector is intensely focused on developing reformulated, low-fat, healthy meat products. Meat and meat products are considered the primary sources of saturated fatty acids in the human diet.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted meat production, supply chain, and meat prices that caused a severe socio-economic crisis worldwide. Initially, meat and meat products' prices increased due to less production and increased demand because of panic buying. Whereas, later on, both meat production and demand were significantly decreased due to lockdown restrictions and lower purchasing power of the consumers that results in a decrease in meat prices.

Buffalo animals are slaughtered at their early age and carcasses are chilled rapidly which deteriorates its meat quality and decreases the consumer likeliness of buffalo meat. This study investigated the appropriate methods to prevent the quality deterioration of buffalo meat during chilling. Twenty four 18-mon-old buffalo bulls were slaughtered, electrically stimulated and suspended either by hip or achilles tendon.
