A high-throughput sequencing approach was used to investigate the bacterial community diversity of traditional Tibetan yak jerky, which was collected from three different regions in Tibet and with different natural drying times. Tibetan yak jerky from different regions had different bacterial communities, which was mainly reflected in the relative abundance levels of unclassified Cyanobacteria, Psychrobacter and Acinetobacter. The unclassified Cyanobacteria was the dominant genus of Qamdo yak jerky, Acinetobacter was the dominant genus of Shigatse yak jerky, and Psychrobacteria was the dominant genus of Nyingchi yak jerky. With increasing natural drying time, the diversity of bacterial communities in yak jerky decreased, and unclassified Cyanobacteria become the dominant genus. Spearman's correlation analysis and canonical correspondence analysis revealed that physicochemical factors (moisture content, water activity, shear force and pH) were significantly correlated with bacterial community. Our results will be beneficial to improve and standardize the safety and quality of traditional Tibetan yak jerky.

Ultrasound effect on flavor profile of beef jerky produced with partial potassium salt substitute based on GC-IMS technology.

Ultrason Sonochem

December 2024

College of Food Science and Light Industry, Nanjing Tech University, Nanjing 211816, PR China. Electronic address:

Traditional beef jerky contains a high content of sodium salt while the reduction of sodium usage impairs the flavor of final product. Regarding above issues, this research innovatively applied ultrasound-assisted salts (NaCl and KCl) recombination in the pickling stage of low-sodium beef jerky, and further compared the flavor differences caused by ultrasound by sensory evaluation, E-nose and GC-IMS. Besides, the changes of physicochemical qualities were explored including salts content, color and shear force.

It is well known that different muscles of yak exhibit distinctive characteristics, such as muscle fibers and metabolomic profiles. We hypothesized that different muscles could alter the flavor profile of yak jerky. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the differences in flavor profiles of yak jerky produced by (LT), (TB) and (BF) through electronic nose (E-nose), electronic tongue (E-tongue), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS).

The impact of Capsicum chinense concentration and salt varieties on cholesterol oxides, physicochemical properties, microbial profiles and organoleptic attributes of Kilishi, a sundried beef jerky, was assessed. Kilishi (KL) was prepared from sundried strips of Biceps femoris and marinated with either 2 % Sodium chloride (NaCl) + 7 % fresh Capsicum chinense (CC) (KL-1), 1 % NaCl + 1 % Potassium chloride (KCl) + 7 % CC (KL-2), 1 % NaCl + 1 % Potassium citrate (CHKO) + 7 % CC (KL-3), 1 % NaCl + 14 % CC (KL-4), 1 % KCl + 14 % CC (KL-5) or 1 % CHKO + 14 % CC (KL-6), and stored at 29 ± 1 °C for 90 d. The partial or total replacement of NaCl lowered (P < 0.

Department of Food Science & Engineering, School of Agriculture & Biology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 20024, China; School of Food Science and Engineering, Ningxia University, Yinchuan 750021, China. Electronic address:

The work aimed to study the effect of four drying methods, namely constant temperature hot air drying (HD), microwave drying (MD), hot air microwave drying (HMD), and gradient hot air drying (GHD), on quality characteristics of dried yak meat. The analyses of physicochemical, textural, flavor, and sensory characteristics were carried out based on these four drying methods. The results revealed that microwave dried yak jerky exhibited better color and received the highest sensory score.

The effects of ultrasonic brine on the physicochemical properties, sensory quality and microstructure of low-sodium beef jerkies were investigated. Compared with control jerky brined in 1.5% NaCl solution, both of the direct reduction and partial replacement of 50% NaCl by KCl decreased the sodium content.
