Three traditional grinds (commodity products) and 7 non-traditional grinds (branded products) were obtained to investigate the metabolites in ground beef associated with beef flavor or off-flavor. Three packaging methods were used: traditional overwrap, modified atmosphere package, and clear plastic retail chub. Samples were collected for sensory evaluation and metabolic profiling utilizing LC/MS. Principal component analysis was conducted for classification of grind source or packaging method. Partial least squares regression was applied to investigate the relationship between metabolic data and sensory data. Grass-fed beef and natural beef products were clearly separated from the other grinds. A total of 576 metabolites were registered. Thirty-three compounds were selected as the most important ones differentiating beef grinds. Twenty-two compounds were selected as the most important ones associated with beef flavor and off-flavor. In conclusion, metabolomic approach was effective to determine the most important compounds associated with certain quality characteristics of beef.

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.

Determining the microbial quality and safety of meat is crucial because of its high potential to harbor pathogens. To address the critical knowledge gap and shed light on potential contamination risk in the meat supply chain, this study aimed to assess the underexplored microbial quality and safety of marketed beef meat in Oman. Thirty-three beef meat samples from six hypermarkets were analyzed for Aerobic Plate Count (APC), Psychrotrophic Bacteria Count (PBC), and coliform and counts.

Metaphylaxis or treating the entire population of cattle at arrival with an antimicrobial has been studied extensively in the cattle industry; however, little information is available on the impacts of treating only a proportion of the population with antimicrobials at arrival. The study objective was to determine potential associations between the proportion of animals in a pen treated with antimicrobial therapy with pen performance and nasopharyngeal microbiome. Yearling steers (n = 160) were randomly allocated to study pens (n = 40) and pens were systematically randomized to one of two antimicrobial treatments (META: all four head received tulathromycin; MIXED: two of four head randomly selected to receive tulathromycin).

() is characterized by a reduced genomic size and limited synthetic capacity, including the inability to synthesize nucleotides de novo, relies on nucleases for nutrient acquisition and survival. A number of nucleases have been implicated in pathogenicity, facilitating substrate degradation and contributing to DNA repair mechanisms that enhance bacterial persistence. The present study confirmed that the T5.

non-typhoidal is a major contributor to diarrheal diseases, with over 2600 serovars identified across diverse environments. In Mexico, serovars Newport and Anatum have shown a marked increase, especially in foodborne disease, posing a public health problem. We conducted a cross-sectional study from 2021 to 2023 using active epidemiological surveillance to assess contamination in ground beef and pork at butcher shops nationwide.
