AI Article Synopsis

  • A nano-coating made of gelatin and pigment (GP) shows strong antioxidant properties and varies in particle size depending on GP concentration (0.1%: 269.58 nm; 0.3%: 394.13 nm).
  • Pork slices with this coating were stored at 4 °C for 15 days, with various quality indicators measured to evaluate preservation.
  • Results indicated that coated pork had lower pH, total viable counts, total volatile basic nitrogen, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, alongside higher water-binding capacity, suggesting improved quality and shelf life.

Article Abstract

The nano-coating composed of gelatin and pigment (GP) was successfully prepared and showed strong antioxidant activity. The average particle sizes of the nano-coating containing 0.1% and 0.3% GP were 269.58 and 394.13 nm, respectively. The pork slices uncoated and coated with the nano-coating were preserved at 4 °C for 15 days. The pork slices' pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), total viable counts (TVC), water-binding capacity (WHC), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were measured to assess the preservation effect of the nano-coating. The results showed that the pork coated with the nano-coating had lower pH, TVC, TVB-N, TBARS, and higher WHC, significantly different ( < 0.05) than the uncoated pork. It is suggested that the proposed nano-coating can be used to effectively improve the pork's quality and shelf life during refrigeration storage.

This study evaluated the performance of a deep-learning-based model that predicted cooking loss in the semispinalis capitis (SC) muscle of pork butts using hyperspectral images captured 24 h postmortem. To overcome low-scale samples, 70 pork butts were used with pixel-based data augmentation. Principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares regression (PLSR) models for predicting cooking loss in SC muscle showed higher R values with multiplicative signal correction, while the first derivative resulted in a lower root mean square error (RMSE).

The increasing demand for protein-rich, plant-based foods has driven the development of meat analogs that closely mimic the texture and mouthfeel of animal meat. While plant-based fibrils and electrospun silk fibroin fibers have been explored for texture enhancement and scaffolding in both meat analogs and cell-based meats, the use of wet-spun fibroin protein fibers as a food ingredient remains underexplored. This study investigates the potential of wet-spun recombinant fibroin fibers to enhance the textural properties of meat analogs.

The authenticity of halal meat is a global issue because pork adulteration occurs. Certain religions, such as Islam and Judaism, prohibit the use of pork in food products. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the volume of trypsin with 10, 50 and 100 μL (20 μg/100 μL) and the digestion time from overnight to 30-120 min to establish a fast and straightforward procedure on proteomic analysis for halal authentication of meat and meat products.

This study investigates quality changes occurred in sliced pork belly with different fat content during refrigerated storage, and the potential of spectral imaging technology in predicting quality properties. Pork bellies with different fat levels (low 'LF', medium 'MF' and high 'HF') were selected from slaughtering houses and directly transferred to the laboratory. The sliced bellies were packed in modified atmosphere packages with high oxygen levels (80 %) and the essential visual and olfactory characteristics, microbiological load, pH, lipid oxidation and colour values were assessed throughout 20 days of refrigerated storage.

Dry-cured ham is a traditional Mediterranean meat product consumed throughout the world. This product is very variable in terms of composition and consumer's acceptability is influenced by different factors, among others, visual intramuscular fat and its distribution across the slice, also known as marbling. On-line inter and intramuscular fat evaluation and marbling assessment is of interest for classification purposes at the industry.
