The present paper reviews the findings of different research studies on the effect of natural ingredients in the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) diet on carcass characteristics and meat quality. The results show a relationship between the type and concentration of ingredients used in diets and carcass characteristics and meat quality. The inclusion of medicinal herbs (thyme, black seed, and mint), plants (canola), seeds (chickpea), spices (cinnamon and coriander), worms (earthworms), bee products (propolis), phytochemicals (lycopene), and edible fungi (common mushrooms) in the Japanese quail diet improved carcass quality characteristics compared to the control diets (basal diets). The inclusion of medicinal herbs (spearmint and green tea), spices (cinnamon), vegetables (tomato), plants (verbena and canola), seeds (marijuana), and edible fungi (oyster mushrooms) improved meat quality. In conclusion, the use of ingredients of natural origin in the Japanese quail diet improves carcass quality characteristics and meat quality.

Recent application of whole genome sequencing in the investigation of foodborne illness outbreaks has facilitated the identification of Reoccurring, Emerging, or Persistent (REP) bacterial strains that have caused illnesses over extended periods of time. Here, the complete genomes of two O157:H7 (EcO157) outbreak strains belonging to REPEXH01 and REPEXH02, respectively, were sequenced and annotated. Comparative genomics and phenotypic analyses were carried out to identify REP-associated traits.

In this study, emulsions co-encapsulated with Bifidobacterium bifidum (B. bifidum) and quercetin (BQE) were prepared, and the encapsulation efficiency, antioxidant properties, storage stability, and digestive stability of emulsions containing different concentrations of quercetin were investigated. The results indicate that the prepared emulsion possesses excellent encapsulation efficiency and stability at quercetin concentration of 500 μg/mL.

The development of a comprehensive pig graph pangenome assembly encompassing 27 genomes represents the most extensive collection of pig genomic data to date. Analysis of this pangenome reveals the critical role of structural variations in driving adaptation and defining breed-specific traits. Notably, the study identifies as a key candidate gene governing intramuscular fat deposition and meat quality in pigs.

This study aimed to understand the development of pale, soft, and exudative (PSE) pork from a new perspective by comparing the differences of lactate-induced protein lactylation and its potential regulators including E1A binding protein p300 (p300) and cAMP response element binding protein (CBP) between PSE and red, firm, and non-exudative (RFN) pork at 1 h postmortem. Results demonstrated that PSE pork presented lower glycogen contents and higher lactate levels than RFN pork (P < 0.05).

Background: Pickering emulsions prepared with octenyl succinic anhydride-modified starch (OSAS) show significant promise as replacements for animal fat. However, the underlying mechanism of incorporating an OSAS-based Pickering emulsion into a myofibrillar protein (MP) gel and its impact on the gel properties remain poorly understood. In this study, the effects of OSAS at varying concentrations (0-10.
