ObjectivesGround beef is more susceptible to lipid oxidation compared to whole muscle beef cuts. This is due to its smaller particle size and greater surface area, which makes the meat products more prone to be exposed to various environmental factors during production. The objective of this study was to determine the relationships among ground beef lipid content, instrumental color, visual discoloration, and lipid oxidation over a 7d simulated retail display period.Materials and MethodsBeef inside rounds (IMPS #168) from the right sides of steer carcasses (n = 63) were collected from a commercial processing facility and delivered to the U of Guelph Meat Science Laboratory for further analyses. Each inside round was trimmed of all subcutaneous fat and connective tissue, and then fabricated into ground beef patties (113 g/patty) at two targeted fat addition levels (no added fat and 25%). Lean ground beef (no added fat) was made by grinding cubes of inside round muscle through a Sirman Master 90 Y12 meat grinder (Sirman USA, Franklin Park, IL). Regular ground beef (25% added fat) was made by grinding cubed round muscle with an additional 25% subcutaneous fat that originated from the rib primal of the same carcass. For the simulated retail shelf life study, 2 crust frozen patties (crust frozen for 1 h to improve packaging ability) were placed on a Styrofoam meat tray with a soaker pad and overwrapped with PVC film. In total, there were 4 trays of patties per ID (2 trays/targeted fat level). Trays were placed under two LED lights (52 W, 1850 lumens, color temperature of 4000K, 1612.5 to 2152 lux) at 4°C and the locations on shelves were changed every 24 h. Minolta L*, a*, b* color and subjective surface discoloration were evaluated every 24 h for 7 d. Lipid peroxidation of patties before and after the retail display was estimated using thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS; mg MDA/g fat). Lipid content of patties was quantified using Soxhlet extraction with petroleum ether. Summary statistics and Pearson correlation coefficients were determined using the PROC CORR procedure of SAS. Correlations were regarded as weak at r < |0.35|, moderate at |0.36| ≤ r ≤ |0.67|, and strong at r ≥ |0.68|.ResultsLipid content in the 126 ground beef samples evaluated in this study ranged from 3.47% to 30.43% (16.30% ± 6.18%). A moderate and significant correlation was observed between lipid content and change in TBARS values (r = –0.59, P < 0.0001). Similarly, an increase in lipid content is moderately correlated with a decrease in a* values (r = –0.58, P < 0.0001) and an increase in surface discoloration after a 7d display period (r = 0.53, P < 0.0001). Δ TBARS values was weakly correlated with Δ L* (r = 0.24, P < 0.01), Δ a* (r = 0.11, P = 0.25), and visual discoloration (r = –0.16, P = 0.09). Finally, Δ a* was strongly correlated with surface discoloration values at d7 (r = –0.76, P < 0.0001).ConclusionAn increase of lipid content in ground beef had a moderate association with decreased redness, greater surface discoloration, and less change in lipid oxidation over a 7d simulated retail display period. Color values were not great predictors of lipid oxidation values and trained technicians often equated visual discoloration in beef to a deviation from the desired cherry red color.

The relationships between the lipid content, lipid oxidation, and discoloration rate of ground beef during a simulated retail display were characterized in this study. A total of 276 batches of ground beef were manufactured with inside rounds and subcutaneous fat from 138 beef carcasses at different targeted levels of lean:fat. There was a total of four different targeted grind levels during the manufacture of the ground beef, and the lipid content for the samples used in this study ranged from 2% to 32% total lipid. Fatty acid composition was determined based on subcutaneous fat, whereas the proximate composition of moisture and total lipids, instrumental color, visual discoloration, and lipid oxidation measured as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were evaluated on ground beef patties during 7 days of simulated retail at 4 °C display under LED lights. Analysis for the correlation and the creation of linear regression models indicated that lipid content played a more critical role in the discoloration rate compared to lipid oxidation and fatty acid composition. Lipid oxidation could be more reliably predicted by lipid content and instrumental color compared to visual discoloration. Overall, ground beef formulated with greater lipid content is expected to experience greater rates of lipid oxidation and discoloration during retail display.

Fresh ground beef patties with (1) no antioxidant (control), (2) 0.02% butylated hydroxyanisole/butylated hydroxytoluene (BHA/BHT), (3) 3% dried plum puree, or (4) 0.25% rosemary extract were aerobically packaged, irradiated at target doses of 0, 1.5, or 2.0 kGy (1.7 and 2.3 kGy actual doses), and stored at C. The samples were evaluated for lipid oxidation on 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of storage after irradiation. When compared to the control, all antioxidant treatments were effective in retarding () irradiation-induced lipid oxidation during storage as determined by 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) values. Rosemary extracts had the same antioxidant effect () as BHA/BHT in irradiated and nonirradiated beef patties, followed by the dried plum puree treatment. Irradiation increased TBARs values, but no differences were noted in oxidation between irradiation dose levels.

The Impact

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a novel non-thermal technology with potential applications in inactivating microorganisms in food products. However, its impact on food quality is not yet fully understood. The aim of this research is to study the impact of in-package plasma technology on the stability of cholesterol and total lipid in four different types of meat (beef, pork, lamb and chicken breast). Additionally, any changes in the primary or secondary lipid oxidation, which is undesirable from a health perspective, is investigated. CAP was not found to have any impact on the cholesterol or lipid content. However, higher peroxide and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values were found for the treated samples, indicating that plasma can induce the acceleration of primary and secondary lipid oxidation. Finally, color was not affected by the treatment supporting the suitability of the technology for meat products.

Textured Vegetable Protein

Blended meat/plant products are capturing industry market space at the retail counter for value-added beef products. Plant protein ingredients can be added to meat formulations to create appealing and functional products. Ground beef was combined with one of three plant protein inclusion treatments: control, pea, oat, or rice, along with 5% textured vegetable protein (TVP) and 1.5% soy protein concentrate then formed into 226 g patties containing up to 10% plant-based proteins. Patties were analyzed for fresh and cooked characteristics throughout a 5- or 7-day retail display. The inclusion of plant-based proteins negatively affected the instrumental tenderness values which were greater (p < 0.01) in plant-inclusion patties compared to the control patties. The inclusion of plant proteins increased (p = 0.01) the cooking yield of patties compared to the control. Cooking time was longer (p = 0.04) for oat patties compared to the control patties. Cooked color values for vegetable inclusion patties did not affect (p = 0.12) lightness (CIE L*) values; however, redness (CIE a*) was greater (p < 0.01) for rice than all other treatments and yellowness (CIE b*) values were greater (p < 0.01) for all protein treatments compared to the control. Rice improved (p < 0.01) fresh a* values on day 5 of display compared to the control; whereas pea decreased (p = 0.04) values compared to the control. There was a treatment × day interaction (p < 0.01) on lipid oxidation values with a reduction in values on day 3 for all vegetable proteins compared to the control and on day 7 lipid oxidation was reduced (p ≤ 0.03) for oat patties.

Abstract This research was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding different types of processed corn, with or without distiller grains, on shelf life of beef steaks. Steers (n = 240) were finished on Dry Rolled Corn (DRC), DRC + 30% Dried Distillers Grains (DDGS), Steam Flaked Corn (SFC), or SFC + 30% DDGS. Cattle were fed 10 per pen. Only pens with upper 2/3 Choice and Select-grade carcasses were sampled, with a goal of two (and a minimum of one) of each grade per pen. Three pens per treatment met the selection criterion and 36 carcasses were chosen (21 upper 2/3 Choice and 15 Select). Pen was considered the experimental unit. Both strip loins were collected from each carcass, halved, and aged for 2, 9, 16, or 23 d. After aging, steaks were placed under retail display for 7 d. Discoloration and objective color (L*, a*, and b*) were determined daily and lipid oxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances; TBARS) was measured after 0 and 7 d of retail display. Fatty acid profile of the lean was obtained. Minimal to no impacts of grade on color and lipid oxidation were found (P > 0.05). Steaks from cattle fed DRC were statistically or numerically lowest for discoloration and C18:2 (linoleic acid) and highest for redness compared to the other treatments (P < 0.05). Conversely, steaks from cattle fed SFC+DDGS had the most C18:2 and the worst (least desirable) values for discoloration and redness toward the end of retail display (P < 0.05). Steaks from cattle fed DRC had the lowest TBARS values, while steaks from cattle fed SFC+DDGS had the highest TBARS values (P < 0.05). These data suggest that steaks from cattle fed SFC+DDGS oxidize, discolor, and lose redness more quickly under retail display than steaks from cattle fed DRC, likely due to changes in fatty acid content.

With current meat industry efforts focused on improving environmental influencers, adopting sustainable packaging materials may be an easier transition to addressing the sustainability demands of the meat consumer. With the growing popularity of vacuum-packaged meat products, the current study evaluated instrumental surface color on fresh ground beef using vacuum packaging films, recycle-ready film (RRF), standard barrier (STB) and enhanced barrier (ENB). Ground beef packaged using ENB barrier film was lighter (L*), redder (a*) and more vivid (chroma) than all other packaging treatments during the simulated display period (p < 0.05). By day 12 of the simulated retail display, the ground beef surface color became lighter (L*), more yellow (b*), less red (a*), less vivid (chroma) and contained greater forms of calculated metmyoglobin, oxymyoglobin (p < 0.05). The current results suggest that barrier properties of vacuum packaging film for ground beef are pivotal for extending the surface color during fresh shelf-life conditions.

Abstract The aim of this study was to characterize spray-dried and lyophilized powders made from winery by-products and to evaluate their effect on the oxidative stability of chicken pâté. Phenolic profile, antioxidant activity, and microencapsulation efficiency were evaluated in the extracts. Two pâté formulations containing grape pomace lyophilized (GPWL) and grape pomace microencapsulated (GPWM) were produced. In addition, a sodium erythorbate and a control batch were used to compare the effects. The pâtés were evaluated by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay during refrigerated storage (4 °C/42 days). Although the microencapsulation efficiency was 90.03%, the GPWL was statistically more effective in the lipid oxidation inhibition in chicken pâté than GPWM. However, the addition of both natural antioxidants in chicken pâté resulted in lower TBARS values than pâté treated with synthetic antioxidant due to the presence of gallic acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, ferulic acid, coumaric acid and trans-resveratrol with high antioxidant activity. Thus, the bioactive compounds with antioxidant activity detected in the GPWL and GPWM opened possibilities for use as a potential ingredient in chicken pâté and other meat products.

ObjectivesThe study objectives were to compare the deep (D) vs. superficial (S) portions of the beef top round (NAMI #169A PSO1), semimembranosus (SM) muscle, for tenderness, lipid oxidation, and color.Materials and MethodsTo simulate the retail setting, USDA Choice top rounds (n = 12) were purchased from a commercial food distributer and delivered to the University of Idaho Meat Science Laboratory under refrigeration. Top rounds were aged for 21 to 24 d from their pack date prior to removing the SM for subsequent analysis. Four steaks were cut from each SM proximally to distally. To account for steak location, steaks were systematically assigned to one of the following analyses; Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF) measurement, lipid oxidation using the Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) method, subjective and objective color analysis on the whole steak to calculate color uniformity (two-toning), and subjective and objective color of a steak separated into D and S portions. The separating cut was made approximately two inches from the superficial edge of the steak. After cutting, WBSF steaks were cooked on clamshell grills to an internal temperature of 71°C. Steaks were then chilled overnight before 6 cores were sheared perpendicular to the muscle fiber direction on a WBSF machine. Steaks were sampled and evaluated for TBARS on Days 0 and 4 of retail display, while color was evaluated subjectively and objectively on Days 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 of retail display. Steaks used for TBARS and color analysis were placed on white Styrofoam trays, overwrapped with an oxygen permeable PVC film, and displayed in a glass-fronted retail display case at 3°C for 4 d to simulate retail display. Data were analyzed using the mixed models procedure of the Statistical Analysis System (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC) and significance was determined at P < 0.05.ResultsMean Warner-Bratzler shear force values were lower (P = 0.0012) in the S (4.2 kg) than the D (5.2 kg) portion of the SM. On Day 0, D and S portions had similar TBARS values (0.172 vs. 0.118 mg MDA/kg Meat); yet, by Day 4, the D portion had substantially greater TBARS values than the S portion (0.497 vs. 0.194 mg MDA/kg Meat; treatment × day of retail display interaction, P < 0.0001). The D portion was lighter (higher L*; P < 0.0001) colored than the S portion. Furthermore, the D portion became less red compared to the S portion during simulated retail display (treatment × day of retail display interaction; P < 0.0001). The whole steak had greater levels of two-toning initially, as well as throughout the 4 d of retail display, compared to the D and S portions (treatment × day of retail display interaction; P < 0.0001). Therefore, cutting top round steaks into a D and S portion would result in the steaks being more uniform in color. Additionally, the S portion has longer shelf-life as well as improved tenderness compared to the D portion.ConclusionIn conclusion, the S portion may be able to generate a premium compared to the whole steak at the retail level because of its superiority in color to the D portion and more uniform color compared to the whole steak.

ObjectivesThere has been an increased interest in merchandising dry-aged steaks at the retail level. Further understanding of the influence of the dry aging process on meat color and lipid stability is needed to ensure dry-aged beef products can be merchandised without adverse impacts on retail display life. Therefore, this study aimed to determine color and lipid stability of steaks from dry-aged beef loins over 7 d (d) of retail display.Materials and MethodsSixteen USDA low Choice boneless strip loins were assigned to one of four aging treatments: vacuum (Wet), dry-aging at 50% relative humidity (RH) (RH50), dry-aging at 70% RH (RH70), or dry-aging at 85% RH (RH85). Dry-aged loins were placed in each assigned dry aging chamber, while wet aged counterparts were aged in vacuum bags in the same cooler. Loins were aged for 42 d at 1°C. After aging, loins were trimmed of dehydrated lean/fat and fabricated into steaks. Steaks were trimmed of subcutaneous fat, and placed on foam trays, overwrapped with oxygen permeable film and placed under retail display (RD) conditions for 7 d at 2°C. Objective color measurements were taken once daily from d 0 to 7 of RD. Trained visual color panelists (n = 6) evaluated surface discoloration from d 0 to 7 of RD once daily. Lipid oxidation was measured via thiobarbituric acid reactive substance assay (TBARS) at 0, 4, and 7 d of RD. Color data were analyzed as a split-plot repeated measures design with treatment as the whole-plot and RD time as the repeated measures. TBARS data were analyzed as a split-plot design with aging treatment as the whole-plot, and RD time as the split-plot. In this study, chamber (loin) was considered the experimental unit. Data were analyzed using the PROC GLIMMIX procedure of SAS with α = 0.05.ResultsFor all three-color scales, a RD effect was found (P < 0.001). In general, L*, a* and b* values decreased as RD time increased, regardless of the aging treatment. Wet-aged steaks had higher L* (P < 0.05), a* (P < 0.05), and b* values (P < 0.001) than any other dry-aged treatment. No differences in L*, a*, and b* values among dry aging treatments were found (P < 0.05). A 2-way interaction between treatment and RD for discoloration was observed (P < 0.05). No differences were found among treatments over the first 2 d of RD (P > 0.05). Samples began to diverge on Day 3 of RD. Dry-aged steaks had greater discoloration scores (P < 0.05) than wet-aged steaks at 4, 5, 6, and 7 d of RD. However, no differences in discoloration scores among RH treatments were found. There was a RD effect on TBARS values (P < 0.001). Greater TBARS values were found as RD progressed from d 0 to d 4 and d 7, regardless of the aging treatment. A treatment effect was observed for lipid oxidation (P < 0.05). Dry-aged steaks had higher TBARS values than wet-aged steaks. No differences in TBARS values among dry aging treatments were found.ConclusionDry aging of beef resulted in decreased lightness and redness values and increased lipid oxidation compared to wet aging. Results suggest that with prolonged RD dry aging of beef has the potential to reduce color and lipid stability compared to wet-aging and thus reduce display life. Dry-aged steaks met the 20% discoloration threshold and overcame the acceptability threshold of 2.28 mg of malonaldehyde/kg at d 4 of RD, indicating that dry-aged steaks can be merchandised in the retail level for 3 d without detrimental effects on color and lipid oxidation.
