Oxidation is one of the major reasons for impaired quality of meat and meat products but can be prevented by the addition of antioxidants. In the present study, the effect of dietary sweet chestnut wood extract and hop cones on the quality and oxidative stability of meat and dry-cured products was investigated. Control pigs (N = 11) were fed a commercial diet (13.1 MJ metabolizable energy, 15.5% crude protein), while the other two experimental groups were supplemented with 3% of sweet chestnut wood extract (Tannin; N = 12) or 0.4% of hop cones (Hops; N = 11). The quality of meat and dry-cured products was evaluated by means of chemical composition, water holding capacity, objective color, and lipid and protein oxidation. No major effects of sweet chestnut wood extract or of hops supplementation were observed, nevertheless, some indications of improved water holding capacity could be attributed to antioxidants supplementation. The color evolution of dry-cured bellies from Tannin and Hops groups of pigs during refrigerated storage was also indicative of an improved oxidative stability.

The study aimed to assess the effect of herbal additions with antioxidant properties (pepper, thyme and oregano) on the microbiological and oxidative stability as well as the sensory quality of minced poultry meat. Meatballs treatments without additives and treatments with the addition of three types of spices in two forms—dry spices and industrial extracts were examined. Popular seasoning additives of oregano (Origanum vulgare), thyme (Thymus vulgaris) and black pepper (Piper nigrum) at 0.3% of dry herbal or 0.003% as industrial extract were added to minced meat. The microbiological, chemical and sensory tests were performed at specified times and storage temperature. Based on the studied criteria, products maintained constant and adequate quality by up to 10 days while stored in 4 °C. In the case of all tested samples, the overall sensory quality began to deteriorate after 10 days of storage. The preservative role of herbs and extracts in meat products during processing and storage was observed. Oregano and black pepper in both forms maintained good microbial quality and showed their inhibitory effects on the growth of psychrotrophic bacteria. It was observed that dried herbs revealed a stronger antioxidant effect than additives in the form of extracts. The studied dried herbs played an antioxidant, antimicrobial and preservative role in meat products during processing and storage.

AbstractTo comparatively investigate the applications potential of pectin from steeped hawthorn wine pomace (SHP), pectin-enriched yogurt was produced at set/stirred form using apple-sourced commercial pectin (CP) as control. The focus was mainly on the effect of pectins on the texture and stability of yogurt, as well as the analysis of appearance and taste, which were mainly characterized by texture analysis and sensory evaluation. Texture analysis indicated that the performance of SHP was better than that of CP, which could increase the gel rupture strength and rupture distance of set yogurt. SHP could also improve the firmness, denseness and viscosity of stirred yogurt. In other respects, SHP could also significantly increase the water holding capacity and sensory acceptance of both types of yogurt. The utilization of SHP for improving the quality of yogurt demonstrated its great potential in developing the sustainable applications of the by-product from steeped hawthorn wine.

AbstractThe meat palatability, water-holding capacity, colour and shear force values of 32 Boer goat (BG) kids and 32 South African Mutton Merino (MM) lambs were investigated. Two pelleted diets (offered to 16 animals per species) with either a low (LE, 9·9 MJ/kg dry matter (DM)) or a high (HE, 12·1 MJ/kg DM) metabolizable energy level were given to the animals for either 28 or 56 days. Thereafter the animals were slaughtered, the meat cooked and presented to a trained sensory panel. Organoleptically, a difference between goat and lamb was noted. Each one had a specific species flavour, which was not influenced by energy level of the diet. BG meat was perceived to be stringier than that of the MM, but there was no significant difference in Warner-Bratzler shear force values. Tenderness declined with age in both species and there was also a tendency for goat meat to be less juicy than lamb. Chevon had a more pronounced after-taste than lamb. No objective difference could be distinguished between the colour of the cooked goat and lamb, but there was a tendency for fresh lamb to have a higher a*-value (redness) than goat. Although diet did not influence drip loss, drip loss increased with an increase in slaughter age. Only after 56 days did the m. semimembranosus of MM have a significantly higher drip loss than that of BG (LE: 4·84 v. 3·43%; HE: 4·72 v. 3·23%). In the m. semimembranosus of both species cooking loss increased with an increase in slaughter age. It can be concluded that goat meat compares favourably with lamb in terms of water-holding capacity, colour and shear force values. If goats are finished in the feedlot, it can be done on a LE diet, since diet does not influences any of the mentioned characteristics. This may render a direct economic advantage for BG feedlot finishing.

Banana pseudo-stem (BPS), which is rich in fibre and polyphenols, is a potential functional ingredient for the food industry. In this study, BPS was added at concentrations of 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 g/kg to a minced pork batter to evaluate its performance as a filler and to pork burger patties to evaluate its performance as a natural antioxidant. The effects of BPS were compared with those of carrageenan and ascorbate, which are a conventional binder and antioxidant, respectively. The performance of BPS was similar to that of carrageenan in terms of the cooking yield and texture of the cooked batter. BPS reduced the brightness of fresh patties and appeared to reduce oxidative discolouration during the frozen storage of raw patties. Moreover, BPS reduced the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) during the refrigerated and frozen storage of cooked patties. A greater decrease in TBARS formation was observed with 4.5 g BPS/kg compared with 0.5 g sodium ascorbate/kg during refrigerated storage. In contrast to ascorbate, BPS promoted the presence of lipid-derived volatile compounds induced by thermal breakdown in the headspace of cooked patties. Nonetheless, this effect was reduced as the amount of BPS in the patties increased. In cooked minced meat products, BPS could increase cooking yields and lipid oxidative stability during storage and might result in a more intense flavour.

The effect of edible coating of gelatin (1, 2 and 3%) containing aqueous extract of rosemary (1% and 2%) on physiochemical (pH, total volatile nitrogen, peroxide values and water holding capacity) and microbiological (psychrotrophic) properties of duck fillet were evaluated. The pH of coated samples were significantly (plessthan0.05) lower than that of untreated sample. TVN (total volatile nitrogen) value increased with storage period in all the samples but coatings significantly decreased production of TVN compared to the control. Also the coatings decreased lipid oxidation of the meat as rosemary postponed primary oxidation of fillet, while this parameter in control group was sharply increased by time. WHC (water holding capacity) increased significantly (plessthan0.05) with storage period and level coatings. Coating had a significant reducing effect on growth of psychrotrophic bacteria during 9 days at 4°C. In conclusion, gelatin edible coating enriched with rosemary could retard chemical and microbial reactions related to spoilage of meat during refrigerated storage.

This study aimed at evaluating the effects of the addition of an oil/beer/lemon marinade solution with or without the inclusion of oregano, rosemary and juniper essential oils on the quality, the technological properties as well as the shelf-life and safety of vacuum-packed pork loin meat. The results obtained suggested that, aside from the addition of essential oils, the marination process allowed to reduce meat pH, thus improving its water holding capacity. Instrumental and sensorial tests showed that the marination also enhanced the tenderness of meat samples, with those marinated with essential oils being the most positively perceived by the panelists. In addition, microbiological data indicated that the marinated samples showed a lower microbial load of the main spoiling microorganisms compared to the control samples, from the 6th to the 13th day of storage, regardless of the addition of essential oils. Marination also allowed to inhibit the pathogens Salmonella enteritidis, Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus, thus increasing the microbiological safety of the product. Overall outcomes suggest that the oil/beer/lemon marinade solution added with essential oils might represent a promising strategy to improve both qualitative and sensory characteristics as well as the safety of meat products.

The research objective was to know the effect of fermented papaya leaf meal in diet to quality of female bali duck meat. The design used was Completely Randomized Design with 3 treatments and 5 replicates, each treatment used 2 female bali duck on the age of 12 weeks. The 3 treatments were levels of fermented papaya leaf meal i.e. 0%, 8% and 16% for treatment A, B, and C respectively. Variables observed were diminishing cook meat, water holding capacity, pH, water content, protein content, fat content and dry matter content. The research results showed that water content, diminishing cook and pH of the treatments A, B and C were non significantly different (P>0.05). Di- minishing row meat of the treatment B was significantly higher (P<0.05) but, its water holding capacity was lower significantly different (P<0.05) than the A and C. Meat protein content of the treatment C was higher significantly (P<0.05) but, its muscular fat was lower significantly (P < 0.05) compare to the treatments A and B. From the re- sults of the study it can be concluded that the addition of fermented papaya leaf meal at the level of 8%-16% in the ration can improve the quality of the meat of female bali ducks aged 26 weeks.
