The study investigated the dietary impact of 18:3-3 18:2-6 on fatty acid- and micronutrient concentration of beef muscle and the extent of diet- and processing-induced changes of lipid- and micronutrient concentrations of beef products made thereof (German Corned beef (GCB), tea sausage spread (TSS), scalded sausage (SS)). Beef and beef products were obtained from German Holstein bulls which either received a control diet consisting of maize silage and concentrate with soybean meal (41%), or an experimental diet of grass silage and concentrate plus rapeseed cake (12%) and linseed oil (3%). The study revealed that upon an 18:3-3 18:2-6 intervention the amounts of 18:3-3, EPA and Σ-3 LC-PUFA were significantly increased by 2.6, 2.3 and 1.7 fold, respectively. Experimental diet significantly increased β-carotene contents, and the γ-tocopherol contents were decreased. During beef processing, -3 PUFA from beef were found to be product-specifically transferred into the corresponding beef products. 18:3-3 and Σ-3 LC-PUFA contents were found to be 1.4 and 1.5 times higher in GCB from grass silage- than maize silage-fed bulls. The trace element contents in GCB (iron, copper, zinc, selenium) were not affected by the diet; however γ-tocopherol contents were decreased by experimental diet. In conclusion, dietary -3 PUFA were completely transferred into beef products unaffected by beef processing conditions.

Background/objective: The relationship between food consumption and environmental sustainability is becoming increasingly evident. The aim of this study was to estimate the evolution of the environmental impact of food consumption in the Spanish population, assessed in terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Methods: Data collected from the Household Budget Survey were included, from approximately 24,000 households for the period of 2006-2023.

Feed efficiency significantly impacts the economics of beef production and is influenced by biological and environmental factors. The rumen microbiota plays a crucial role in efficiency, with studies increasingly focused on its relationship with different rearing systems. This study analyzed 324 rumen samples from bulls and steers categorized as high and low efficiency based on residual feed intake.

The significance of as a foodborne pathogen is increasingly acknowledged, but the assessment of its occurrence and transmission remains challenging due to the lack of validation of selective isolation, detection, and identification methods. The aim of the present study was to examine its presence on various meat samples at the retail level in order to assess a potential foodborne transmission and its occurrence in clinical stool samples. First, the evaluation and selection of a selective enrichment broth and isolation medium, combined with an optimized identification by MALDI-TOF MS, as well as a suitable DNA extraction method and a PCR-based detection strategy were developed.

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of tomato pomace (TP) on the content of volatile compounds and L-carnitine and the sensory characteristics of raw fermented sausages produced with reduced nitrite. The produced sausages were divided into three experimental groups: control sample, sample with 1.5% addition of freeze-dried tomato pomace, and sample with 2.
