This study evaluated the effects of Maillard reaction products of pea protein hydrolyzates (MRPs-PPH) as salt-reducing and umami-enhancing components on the flavor and physicochemical properties of beef flavors. The addition of MRPs-PPH reduced the brightness of beef flavors, increased the redness and yellowness, as well as changed the texture characteristics of beef flavors. With the addition of MRPs-PPH, the apparent viscosity, storage modulus and loss modulus of beef flavors decreased. Finally, the relationship between taste attributes and flavor compounds of the samples was analyzed by Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), and flavor compounds with significant positive contributions to different taste attributes were found. This study showed that MRPs-PPH could be used as a flavor enhancer derived from biomacromolecules with salt reduction and freshness enhancement.

Beef jerky is a traditional meat product. It is uses beef as the main raw material, and is processed through multiple procedures such as curing, maturing, drying, sterilization, and packaging. However, changes in raw materials, curing solution, the choice of fermenter, and fermentation conditions affect the quality and flavor of beef jerky.

Simulating meat flavor via Maillard reaction model systems that contain a mixture of amino acids and reducing sugars is an effective approach to understanding the reaction mechanism of the flavor precursors. Notably, animal resources such as fish, beef, chicken, pork hydrolysates, and fats are excellent precursors in promoting favorable meaty and roasted flavors and umami tastes of Maillard reaction products. The experimental conditions and related factors of the model systems for sensory enhancements, debittering, and off-flavor reduction with meat and by-products are summarized in this review.

Background: Dietary supplementation for beef cattle, using natural plant extracts, such as oregano essential oil (OEO), has proven effective in enhancing growth performance, beef production quantity and quality, and ensuring food safety. However, the precise mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. This study investigated the impact of OEO on carcass traits, muscle fiber structure, meat quality, oxidative status, flavor compounds, and gene regulatory mechanisms in the longissimus thoracis (LT) muscles of beef cattle.

Phosphate has been widely used in beef to improve processing characteristics such as tenderness and water-holding capacity. However, the effects of phosphates on the quality and especially the flavor of beef are not well understood. This study investigated the influence of eight different phosphate marinade solutions on the quality and flavor of prepared beef.

For cultured meat to effectively replace traditional meat, it is essential to develop scaffolds that replicate key attributes of real meat, such as taste, nutrition, flavor, and texture. However, one of the significant challenges in replicating meat characteristics with scaffolds lies in the considerable gap between the stiffness preferred by cells and the textural properties desired by humans. To address this issue, we focused on the microscale environment conducive to cell growth and the macro-scale properties favored by humans.
