The non-thermal high-pressure processing (HPP) technique has been used to increase the shelf life of food without compromising their nutritional and sensory qualities. This study aims to explore the potential application of HPP on New Zealand lamb meat. In this study, the effect of HPP, at different pressure treatments (200–600 MPa) on eight different lamb meat cuts in terms of lipid oxidation, fatty acid and free amino acid content were investigated. In general treatments between 400 and 600 MPa resulted in higher oxidation values in eye of loin, flat, heel, and tenderloin cuts. Saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid content were significantly lower with HPP treatment of almost all cuts (except rump and heel cuts) at all pressures. Polyunsaturated fatty acid content was significantly lower in HPP-treated inside, knuckle, and tenderloin cuts at 600 MPa compared to control. Nine essential free amino acids (valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, lysine, histidine, tyrosine and tryptophan), and eight non-essential free amino acids (alanine, glycine, threonine, serine, proline, aspartic acid, glutamic acids and ornithine) were identified in the lamb cuts. HPP increased the total free amino acid composition significantly compared to control at all pressures for almost all cuts except the inside and eye of loin cuts. This study suggests that higher pressure treatments (i.e., 400 and 600 MPa) resulted in higher TBARS oxidation levels. Additionally, significant decreases in saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids and increase free amino acid content were observed in the majority of HPP-treated samples compared to control.

Free Amino Acid Content

AbstractWild soybean (Glycine soja) is a valuable genetic resource for soybean improvement. Seed composition profiles provide beneficial information for the effective conservation and utilization of wild soybeans. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the variation in free amino acid abundance in the seeds of wild soybean germplasm collected in Japan. The free amino acid content in the seeds from 316 accessions of wild soybean ranged from 0.965 to 5.987 mg/g seed dry weight (DW), representing a 6.2-fold difference. Three amino acids had the highest coefficient of variation (CV): asparagine (1.15), histidine (0.95) and glutamine (0.94). Arginine (0.775 mg/g DW) was the predominant amino acid in wild soybean seeds, whereas the least abundant seed amino acid was glutamine (0.008 mg/g DW). A correlation network revealed significant positive relationships among most amino acids. Wild soybean seeds from different regions of origin had significantly different levels of several amino acids. In addition, a significant correlation between latitude and longitude of the collection sites and the total free amino acid content of seeds was observed. Our study reports diverse phenotypic data on the free amino acid content in seeds of wild soybean resources collected from throughout Japan. This information will be useful in conservation programmes for Japanese wild soybean and for the selection of accessions with favourable characteristics in future legume crop improvement efforts.

The present research was aimed at a comparative analysis of free amino acid (FAA) levels in the muscle tissue of herbivorous and predatory fish. The FAA concentration in the muscle tissue samples from bighead carp and wels catfish was determined by ion-exchange chromatography. The bighead carp muscle tissue, as compared to that of wels catfish, showed significantly higher concentrations of arginine, histidine, methionine, phenyloalanine, alanine, asparagine, serine, glycine, and taurine, but significantly lower levels of isoleucine, leucine, threonine, valine, glutamine, cystationine, β-alanine, ethanoloamine, as well as aspartic, glutamic, cysteic, α- and γ-aminobutyric acids. The muscle tissues of bighead carp and wels catfish did not differ significantly in the levels of cystine, lysine, tryptophan, tyrosine, α-aminoadipic acid, cytrulline, ornithine and 1-methyl-histidine. Proline was detected only in the wels catfish muscle. The results obtained have shown differences in free amino acid concentration in muscle tissue of examined fish. A differentiated natural diet induces changes in free amino acid content in fish tissues. Knowledge of levels of free amino acids which are precursors for biogenic amines facilitates setting the safety criteria for fish and fishery products from species other than those mentioned in the Commission Regulation No 2073/2005
