Consumers rely heavily on fresh meat color as an indicator of wholesomeness at the point sale, whereas cooked is exploited doneness consumption. Deviations from bright cherry-red lead to product rejection and revenue loss. Myoglobin sarcoplasmic heme protein primarily responsible for color, chemistry myoglobin species specific. The mechanistic interactions between multiple extrinsic intrinsic factors govern raw well meats. objective this review provide overview current research in how...
The objective of the present study was to differentiate sarcoplasmic proteome color-stable (Longissimus lumborum; LL) and color-labile (Psoas major; PM) beef muscles. LL PM muscles from seven carcasses (24 h post-mortem) were fabricated into 2.54 cm steaks, aerobically packaged, assigned refrigerated retail display for 9 days. steaks demonstrated greater (P < 0.05) color stability lower lipid oxidation than steaks. Proteome analyses identified 16 differentially abundant proteins in PM,...
Meat color is an important aspect of a consumer’s purchase decisions regarding meat products. Perceived meatcolor results from the interaction light, detector (i.e., human eye), and numerous factors, both intrinsic extrinsic tothe muscle, that influence chemical state myoglobin. The complex nature these interactions dictates decisionsregarding evaluations be made carefully investigators have basic knowledge physical andchemical factors affecting their evaluations. These guidelines were...
Woody breast meat has recently become prevalent in the broiler industry both United States and European Union. Recent publications have described quality characteristics of woody as having hardened areas pale ridge-like bulges at caudal cranial regions breast. The present study investigated (pH, color, cooking loss, shear force) protein (protein salt-soluble content) compared to normal meat. In addition, differences muscle proteome profiles were characterized. Results indicated that had a...
Biochemistry of post-mortem muscle tissue is complex, and several factors affect the fresh meat color stability, both which influence consumer acceptance. Therefore, improving stability significant value to industry consumers. While extensive literature available on domestic ungulates, wild ungulates notably lacking. With an increasing global demand for meats from it critical identify knowledge gaps regarding their stability. The objective this paper overview exogenous endogenous influencing...
Deviation from a bright cherry-red color of fresh meat results in less consumer acceptance and either discounted or discarded products the value chain. Tissue homeostasis changes immediately after exsanguination, leading to acidification muscle. Any alteration pH drop can influence both muscle structure enzymatic activity related oxygen consumption redox state myoglobin. This review focuses on fundamental applied approaches under-stand effects biochemical changes, diffusion, its impact...
Abstract Myoglobin (Mb) redox state affects meat color and is destabilized by lipid oxidation products such as 4‐hydroxy‐2‐nonenal (HNE). Our objective was to investigate oxidation‐induced oxymyoglobin (OxyMb) in Mb from two major meat‐producing livestock species utilizing MS proteomics tools. Porcine OxyMb incubated with HNE analyzed for metmyoglobin (MetMb) formation. MetMb formation greater the presence of than controls at pH 7.4 37°C ( p <0.05). MALDI‐TOF used identify adduct...
Pale, Soft, and Exudative (PSE) broiler breast meat has poor protein functionality, which leads to quality problems economic loss in the poultry industry. Proteomics been applied characterize biochemical mechanisms governing tenderness, color, water-holding capacity meat. However, proteome basis of PSE not yet characterized for Therefore, this study was conducted determine differences (cooking shear force), descriptive sensory characteristics, consumer acceptance, whole muscle between normal...
Beef color is a muscle-specific trait, and sarcoplasmic proteome influences variations in beef stability. Postmortem aging the of muscles. Nonetheless, changes muscles with differential stability during have not been characterized yet. Therefore, our objective was to examine 3 differentially stable from hindquarters postmortem aging. Longissimus lumborum (LL), psoas major (PM), semitendinosus (ST) separated 8 (n = 8) carcasses (24 h postmortem) were subjected vacuum packaging (2°C) for 0, 7,...
