Garlic essential oil (GEO) added directly to pork mince or to the diet of pigs was evaluated for its effectiveness in masking undesirable mutton flavour. Pork was from 31 female pigs (Duroc x (Large White x Landrace)) grown on diets containing either animal-plus-plant products (AP diet) or plant products only (P diet) with four levels of GEO: 0, 0.55, 1.44 and 1.84 g/kg feed and 0, 0.55, 1.44 and 2.15 g/kg feed in the AP and P diet, respectively. Garlic flavour increased and mutton flavour decreased in pork from pigs that consumed more than about 150 g and 220 g of GEO in P and AP diets, respectively over the 57-day feeding period. The garlic flavour was stronger and the mutton flavour less intense for pork from pigs on the P diet. When GEO was added to pork mince at 125 ppm, it significantly reduced mutton flavour.

Mutton is one of the most popular meats among the public due to its high nutritional value. In this study, we compared and analyzed the nutritional composition and volatile flavor substances in (LD), (PM), and (BF) of the Chaka sheep, and then analyzed the lipid composition using the technique of UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS/MS. Our results indicated that the LD had the highest crude protein content (22.

To investigate the impact of age and gender on mutton flavor and quality, we analyzed mutton from 12-month-old and 6-month-old rams and ewes. The results indicated that 12 months Hetian white sheep exhibited higher levels of amino acids, protein, free fatty acids, and reducing sugars compared to 6-months. Additionally, amino acid, protein, and reducing sugar levels were higher in ewes than 12 months rams.

Background: Mutton quality is closely related to genetic variants and gene expression alterations during growth and development, resulting in differences in nutritional values, flavor, and odor.
Results: We first evaluated and compared the composition of crude protein, crude fat, cholesterol, amino acid (AA), and fatty acid (FA) in the longissimus dorsi muscle of Guizhou black goats (GZB, n = 5) and Yunshang black goats (YBG, n = 6). The contents of cholesterol and FA related to odor in GZB were significantly lower than that in YBG, while the concentrations of umami amino acids and intramuscular fat were significantly higher in GZB.

This study investigates the effect of variable-temperature roasting on the flavor compounds of Xinjiang tannur-roasted mutton. Gas chromatography coupled with ion mobility spectroscopy (GC-IMS) was used to compare and analyze the volatile components and flavor fingerprints of Xinjiang tannur-roasted mutton using variable-temperature electrically heated air roasting (VTR), constant-temperature electrically heated air roasting (EHAR), and constant-burning charcoal roasting (BCR) techniques. The changes in fatty acids and free amino acids in Xinjiang tannur-roasted mutton under different roasting conditions were compared.

Since the banning of antibiotics, the use of feed additives to improve meat quality to satisfy people's pursuit of high quality has become a research hotspot. Yeast culture (YC) is rich in proteins, mannan oligosaccharides, peptides, and yeast cell metabolites, etc., and its use as a feed additive has a positive impact on improving meat quality.
