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%).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In recent years, foods containing natural antioxidants are becoming popular all over the world as antioxidants can neutralize and scavenge the free radicals and their harmful effects, which are continuously produced in the biological body. Uncontrolled free radicals activity can lead to oxidative stresses, which have been implicated in breakdown of vital biochemical compounds such as lipids, protein, DNA which may lead to diabetes, accelerated ageing, carcinogenesis and cardiovascular diseases.
