AI Article Synopsis

  • Cooked meat is a valuable protein source, but long cooking can produce harmful compounds called heterocyclic amines (HAs) through lipid and protein oxidation.
  • A new testing method successfully identified nine types of HAs, showing that factors like cooking temperature, time, and repeated cooking significantly affect HA levels in braised sauce beef.
  • The highest HA concentration was found after cooking the beef soup 20 times, emphasizing that high temperatures and prolonged cooking lead to greater HA formation.

Article Abstract

Background: Cooked meat is a good source of high-quality protein. However, during long-term cooking of meat, radical-induced lipid and protein oxidation may lead to the formation of poisonous compounds, such as heterocyclic amines (HAs). This work investigated a testing method for HAs and it describes that cooking temperature, cooking time and repeated cooking times have influences on the overall quality of braised sauce beef and the effect of HAs formation.

Results: The improved method has a good separation effect on nine kinds of HAs. The average recovery of HAs at two spiked levels is between 51.70% and 88.25% (n = 6). The detection limit is 0.025-0.060 ng g , and the limit of quantitation is 0.070-0.160 ng g . Only harman and norharman were detected in samples. Cooking time and cooking temperature will affect the quality and HA content of samples. When the braised sauce beef soup was cooked 20 times, the HA content was the highest - as high as 21.43 ng g . The more times the beef was cooked repeatedly, the higher was the HA content. Under different cooking conditions, glucose has a significant effect on the formation of β-carboline.

Conclusion: We have established a detection method for HAs with good repeatability and accuracy. HAs were more easily formed in braised sauce beef by high temperature, long heating and repeated brine cooking. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers used flavoromics and quantitative analysis to study how the aroma of traditional braised pork changes during cooking and what causes these changes.
  • In the early cooking stages (0-45 minutes), lipid oxidation produces various aldehydes and alcohols, resulting in an unpleasant fatty smell.
  • Between 45-73 minutes, seasonings help reduce excessive oxidation and promote reactions that enhance the meaty and sweet aromas, defining the distinctive smell of the dish.

Characteristic volatile compounds contributed to aroma of braised pork and their precursor sources.

Department of Food Science, Rutgers University, 65 Dudley Road, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, United States. Electronic address:

The characteristic aroma compounds of traditional braised pork were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O), odor-activity values, and aroma recombination and omission experiments. A total of 56 volatile compounds were detected by GC-MS, among which hexanal, octanal, nonanal, (E)-2-octenal, 2,3-octanedione, 1-octen-3-ol, 2-pentylfuran, methanethiol, and dimethyl trisulfide were identified as the key aroma compounds by molecular sensory science. Partial least squares regression analysis indicated that some aroma compounds significantly contributed to fatty (hexanal, heptanal, 2-pentylfuran, nonanal, and (E)-2-octenal), meaty (methanethiol, dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, and octanal), sauce-like flavor (3-hydroxy-2-butanone and 2-furfural), and sweet, caramel (2,3-octanedione, 1-octen-3-ol).

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the impact of different cooking conditions and seasoning on the formation of harmful compounds called heterocyclic amines (HAs) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in braised lamb.
  • Results show that adding soy sauce dramatically increases HAs and AGEs, particularly with light soy sauce, while spices can help reduce their formation by 22-35%.
  • The research highlights the importance of using specific processing techniques, such as hot blanching and delaying the addition of soy sauce and spices, to minimize the production of these harmful compounds, with flavonoids in spices identified as effective agents.

During thermal processing of braised sauce beef, the lipid content of circularly used sauce increased accordingly because of lipid migration from beef to sauce, which may impact the bacterial heat resistance in the products. This study aims to characterize the heat resistance of Clostridium sporogenes spores in braised sauce beef, and investigate the effects of oil on the spore surface characteristics and microstructure. The results indicated that the heat resistance of C.
