Effects of kimchi ethanolic extracts on oxidative stability of refrigerated cooked pork

The antioxidant effect of different kimchi extracts in cooked ground pork during storage for 14 days at 4°C was studied. Cooked ground pork was treated with ascorbic acid, BHT, baechu kimchi (BK), got kimchi (GK), puchu kimchi (PK), and white kimchi (WK) and compared to cooked ground pork without antioxidant. Radical scavenging and chelating activities of kimchi extracts were in the order: GK>PK>BK>WK. Total phenolic contents and flavonoid contents ranged from 32.52 to 46.73 mg of GAE/g and 5.87 to 25.58 mg quercetin/g, respectively. Significantly (P<0.05) lower values of TBARS, peroxide values, and hexanal contents were obtained for GK treated samples compared with cooked pork without antioxidant during refrigerated storage. GK showed good antioxidant activity and was significantly different (P<0.05) from the other treatments. Based on these findings, the natural antioxidants examined may have applications in the development of nutritionally enhanced meat products with enhanced shelf life.

Effect of salt and transglutaminase (TG) level and processing conditions on quality characteristics of phosphate-free, cooked, restructured pork shoulder

Six treatments of phosphate-free restructured cooked pork shoulder were produced with two salt levels (2% and 1%) and three transglutaminase levels (0%, 0.075% and 0.15%) under two processing conditions (72 °C/65 min and 78 °C/65 min). Salt level significantly affected (p < 0.05) the chemical composition, the cooking losses, the colour, the sensory attributes and the overall acceptability of the product. Transglutaminase level affected (p < 0.05) only the consistency and the overall acceptability. The processing conditions on the contrary, affected the moisture and the protein content, the cooking losses, the consistency and the juiciness of restructured cooked pork shoulder. Transglutaminase can be used at a level of 0.15% with reduced salt level (1%) and processing at 72 °C/65 min to produce phosphate-free restructured cooked pork shoulder with acceptable sensory attributes.     

Oxidative stability and its relationship with natural antioxidants during refrigerated retail display of beef produced in Argentina

The objective of this study was to determine if pasture or grain diets affect oxidative/antioxidative status and the color stability of beef during retail display. Ten crossbreed steers were fed on pasture. Five of them were randomly assigned to remain on this diet, and the other five were finished on feedlot system (grain diet) during 110days until slaughter. Slices of Psoas major steaks were randomly distributed among retail display times (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9days). Lipid and protein oxidation were higher in Psoas major steaks from grain diet than in pasture diet (P<0.05). After 3days of display, lipid oxidation increased in meat from grain diet, whereas in meat from pasture diet the first evidence was after 7days (P<0.05). Protein oxidation was higher in meat from grain diet than in meat from pasture diet at day 9 of display (1.15±0.92 vs. 1.91±0.70μg/g, respectively; P<0.05). Antioxidant vitamins, α-tocopherol and β-carotene were higher at time=0 in pasture Psoas major steaks (P<0.05) and were differentially reduced throughout storage. While α-tocopherol decreased 41% and 57% for pasture and grain beef respectively (P<0.05), β-carotene levels remained practically unaffected in grain beef. After 7days of display "a" value was higher for Psoas major steaks from pasture diet (P<0.05). Besides, "L" parameter showed higher values for samples from grain diets but it was no affected by display time. No differences were observed between both treatments for "b" value, but a significant decrease (P<0.05) was observed along storage. Superoxide dismutase and catalase activity was stable throughout storage, while glutathione peroxidase activity decreased significantly (P<0.05). The results in this study demonstrated that the higher initial level and synergistic action (under light and air) of α-tocopherol and β-carotene found in pasture-finished animals improved the oxidative and color stability of beef, as showed by a better retention of redness at the end of retail display.     

Effects of aging time and natural antioxidants on the color, lipid oxidation and volatiles of irradiated ground beef

Beef rounds aged for one, two, or three weeks after slaughtering were ground added with 0.05% ascorbic acid+0.01% α-tocopherol or 0.05% ascorbic acid+0.01% α-tocopherol+0.01% sesamol, placed on Styrofoam trays and wrapped with oxygen-permeable plastic film, and treated with electron beam irradiation at 0 or 2.5kGy. The meat samples were displayed under fluorescent light for 7d at 4°C. Color, lipid oxidation, volatile analysis, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and carbon monoxide (CO) production were determined at 0, 3, and 7d of storage. Irradiation increased lipid oxidation of ground beef regardless of their aging time and storage period. As aging time increased lipid oxidation increased. Adding sesamol increased the effectiveness of ascorbate and tocopherol combination in reducing lipid oxidation especially as aging and storage time increased. The redness of beef were decreased by irradiation and adding ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol before irradiation was effective in maintaining the redness of irradiated ground beef over the storage period. The combination of ascorbic acid+α-tocopherol to ground beef was more effective in reducing ORP than adding sesamol. Irradiation increased CO production from all ground beef regardless of aging time or additives treatments. Volatile sulfur compounds produced by irradiation at Day 0 disappeared over the storage period. Alcohol greatly increased in all nonirradiated beef, but volatiles aldehydes only in irradiated control beef. Antioxidant treatments were effective in reducing aldehydes in ground beef during storage.     

The effect of dried galangal powder and its ethanolic extracts on oxidative stability in cooked ground pork

Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) value, peroxide value (POV), conjugated diene and hexanal content were used to evaluate the effectiveness of dried galangal powder and its ethanolic extracts to increase oxidative stability in cooked ground pork during storage at 5 °C for 14 days. Dried galangal powder (0.05%, 0.10% and 0.15% w/w) and its ethanolic extracts (0.17%, 0.43% and 0.51% w/w) significantly (P<0.05) inhibited the formation of TBARS value, POV, conjugated diene and hexanal content in a dose-dependent manner where dried galangal powder at a concentration of 0.51% was the most effective; at the end of storage, TBARS values, POV, conjugated diene and hexanal content were 70.5%, 66.8%, 22.7% and 89.7%, respectively, less than the untreated sample. Addition of dried galangal powder to cooked ground pork was more effective than its ethanolic extract in controlling lipid oxidation. Furthermore, TBARS values and hexanal contents in cooked ground pork were highly correlated (r²=0.96; P<0.05). These results suggest that the application of dried galangal powder and its ethanolic extracts could enhance oxidative stability of meat or other lipid containing food systems.     

Effect of cooking on radiation-induced chemical markers in beef and pork during storage

Raw and cooked beef and pork loins were irradiated at 0 or 5 kGy. The radiation-induced marker compounds, such as hydrocarbons, 2-alkylcyclobutanones (2-ACBs), and sulfur volatiles, were determined after 0 and 6 mo of frozen storage. Two hydrocarbons (8-heptadecene [C(17:1)] and 6,9-heptadecadiene [C(17:2)]) and two 2-ACBs (2-dodecylcyclobutanone [2-DCB] and 2-tetradecylcyclobutanone [2-TCB]) were detected only in irradiated raw and cooked meats. Although precooked irradiated meats produced more hydrocarbons and 2-ACBs than the irradiated cooked ones, the amounts of individual hydrocarbons and 2-ACBs, such as 8-heptadecene, 6,9-heptadecadiene, 2-DCB, and 2-TCB, were sufficient enough to detect whether the meat was irradiated or not. Dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide were also determined only in irradiated meats but dimethyl trisulfide disappeared after 6 mo of frozen storage under oxygen-permeable packaging conditions. The results indicated that 8-heptadecene, 6,9-heptadecadiene, 2-DCB, 2-TCB, and dimethyl disulfide, even though they were decreased with storage, could be used as marker compounds for the detection of irradiated beef and pork regardless of cooking under the frozen conditions for 6 mo. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Radiation-induced chemical changes such as specific hydrocarbons, 2-ACBs, and sulfur volatiles may be used as potential identification markers by regulatory authorities to confirm irradiation history of frozen stored raw or cooked beef and pork.     

Effect of natural antioxidant combinations on lipid oxidation in cooked chicken meat during refrigerated storage

The effect of combinations of sage, oregano and honey on lipid oxidation in cooked chicken meat during refrigeration at 4°C for 96h was determined. Chicken samples (thigh and breast) were then separated into five groups: control; butylated hydroxytoluene; oregano+sage; oregano+sage+5%honey and oregano+sage+10%honey. Quantitative measurements of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, conjugated dienes, hexanal, fatty acids, cholesterol and cholesterol oxides were used as indicators of lipid oxidation. Acceptability and preference were also evaluated. The effectiveness of the natural antioxidants for reducing the velocity of lipid oxidation in cooked chicken thigh and breast was demonstrated after 48 and 96h of refrigeration at 4°C. The treatments that presented the lowest hexanal values after 96h of refrigeration were oregano+sage+5%honey and oregano+sage+10%honey. Only traces of free cholesterol oxides were found (25-OH, 7-k, 7α-OH and 7β-OH). The natural antioxidants protected cooked chicken meat from oxidation processes and resulted in great acceptability.     

天然抗氧化剂联合作用对花生油氧化稳定性及风味特性的影响

以花生油为研究对象,在60 ℃加速氧化条件下探讨天然复合抗氧化剂协同提高其氧化稳定性的作用机制,分析了贮藏期内风味特性的变化趋势。结果表明,花生油在24 d加速氧化实验过程中,与其他组相比,0.07%粉状迷迭香提取物+0.07%油状迷迭香提取物+0.01% V_C表现出最佳的协同效应,此组样品过氧化值由第0 d的1.38 meq/kg仅增加到第24 d的1.65 meq/kg,酸值由第0 d的0.93 mg KOH/g仅增加到第24 d 1.03 mg KOH/g;和对照组相比,其p-茴香胺值,硫代巴比妥酸值在贮藏期内显著降低(p<0.05),表明该组复合抗氧化剂的协同抗氧化效果较优。风味测定结果表明,复合抗氧化剂不能改变风味化合物中的主要物质的组成,但会部分增加或减少某些风味物质的含量。添加最优复合抗氧化剂后氧化的花生油稍有天然提取物的风味,与吡啶类化合物,呋喃类化合物的含量变化有关。     

Inhibitory activity of Asian spices on heterocyclic amines formation in cooked beef patties

Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are mutagenic compounds formed when foods are cooked at high temperatures. Numerous reports have shown that natural antioxidants from spices, fruits, chocolate, and tea can inhibit formation. In this study, we evaluated HCA formation in the presence of 5 of Asian spices: galangal (Alpinia galangal), fingerroot (Boesenbergia pandurata), turmeric (Curcuma longa), cumin (Cuminum cyminum), and coriander seeds (Coriandrum sativum). HCA levels were compared to patties containing rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), of which the inhibitory effect is well documented. Inhibition of HCA formation by the spices was evaluated in beef patties cooked at 204 °C (400 °F) for 10 min. All spices were mixed into patties at 0.2% before cooking, and HCAs levels were measured in the final product. All patties, including the control, contained 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo [4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) and 2-amino-1-methyl -6-phenylimidazo [4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP). The average HCA content of the control patties was 7 ng/g MeIQx and 6.53 ng/g PhIP. Turmeric (39.2% inhibition), fingerroot (33.5% inhibition), and galangal (18.4% inhibition) significantly decreased HCAs compared with the control. But, only turmeric and fingerroot were as effective as rosemary in preventing HCA formation. The HCA inhibition in patties containing spices was significantly correlated to the total phenolic content (R(2) = 0.80) and the scavenging activity (R(2) = 0.84) of the spices as measured by the 2,2-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl assay. Results of this study suggest that addition of Asian spices can be an important factor in decreasing the levels of HCAs in fried beef patties.     

Effects of high-pressure processing on the volatile compounds of sliced cooked pork shoulder during refrigerated storage

The effect of high-pressure processing (pressure levels of 400, 500 and 600 MPa, and exposure times of 5 and 10 min) on the volatile profile of vacuum-packaged sliced cooked pork shoulder held for 28 days at 4 °C was assessed. The volatile fraction of pressurized samples scarcely changed immediately after treatment and remained stable for 14 days, regardless the pressure and time of exposure. After 21 days of storage, significant differences were observed in the profile of volatile compounds in pressurized samples as compared with control samples, these differences being treatment dependent. At the end of the storage period, control and 400 MPa samples showed higher levels of acetic and fatty acids, ethanol and ethyl esters, whereas 500 and 600 MPa samples contained higher levels of ethanal, branched-chain aldehydes, diacetyl, acetoin, and 2,3-butanediol among other compounds. These results suggest that the high-pressure treatment had a discriminant effect on the microbiota of cooked pork shoulder, which led to the accumulation of different volatile compounds during the refrigerated storage of control and pressurized samples.     

一种基于高光谱图像的熟牛肉TVB-N含量预测方法

传统肉制品新鲜度检测方法具有耗时费力、效率低、有损等缺陷,提出利用高光谱成像(HSI)技术预测熟牛肉新鲜度指标挥发性盐基氮(TVB-N)含量。首先通过HSI系统获取熟牛肉样本的高光谱数据,并进行黑白校正。进而采用移动平均平滑和多元散射校正对高光谱数据进行预处理。最后采用支持向量回归(SVR)方法分别建立基于全光谱特征、单一光谱特征、单一纹理特征、主成分分析(PCA)融合特征对TVB-N含量的预测模型。结果显示,使用PCA融合特征的SVR模型,对新鲜度的关键指标TVB-N含量的平均预测准确度(APA)可达到85.13%,表明高光谱成像技术与信息融合技术相结合能够提升模型准确度。     

The antioxidative properties of Holy basil and Galangal in cooked ground pork

The ethanolic extracts from Holy basil and Galangal were examined for their extraction yield, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity against a β-carotene-linoleic acid emulsion system, DPPH scavenging activity and reducing power. Ethanolic extracts of Holy basil exhibited higher extraction yield, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, DPPH scavenging activity and reducing power than ethanolic extracts of Galangal. Antioxidative efficiency to inhibit lipid oxidation of dried Holy basil and dried Galangal powder, ethanolic extracts of Galangal and Holy basil and commercial antioxidant mixture in cooked ground pork was investigated during refrigerated storage at 5°C for 14 days. The quantitative measurements of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), conjugated diene, peroxide value (POV) and hexanal content were used as indicators of lipid oxidation. Increased levels of TBARS value, POV and hexanal content were noticed in all meat samples during storage, however most marked in cooked ground pork without antioxidants, whereas conjugated diene tended to decrease with increasing storage time. Ranking of the treatment in order of their antioxidant effectiveness showed that commercial antioxidant mixture (0.3% citric acid+0.5% ascorbic acid+0.02% α-tocopherol)>dried Galangal powder>dried Holy basil powder>ethanolic extracts of Galangal>ethanolic extracts of Holy basil>control. Furthermore, in cooked ground pork samples a high correlation between TBARS value and hexanal contents was obtained.
