Effects of alternating electric field assisted freezing-thawing-aging sequence on longissimus dorsi muscle microstructure and protein characteristics

Guangyu Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of alternating electric field (AEF)-assisted freezing-thawing-aging sequence on muscle microstructure and myofibrillar protein characteristics. Three treatments were applied to the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle: only aging, freezing-thawing-aging sequence, and AEF-assisted freezing-thawing-aging sequence. The results showed that the group with only aging exhibited fewer cracks between muscle fibers and maintained the integrity of the Z-line compared to the other two groups. Additionally, the AEF treatment effectively reduced myofibrillar fragmentation, protein aggregation, and oxidation.

Synergism effect of low voltage electrostatic field and antifreeze agents on enhancing the qualities of frozen beef steak: Perspectives on water migration and protein aggregation

Yong Xie et al.

Summary: In this study, a synergistic strategy utilizing low-voltage electrostatic field (LVEF) and antifreeze agents (4% sucrose +4% sorbitol) was proposed to reduce quality deterioration of beef steak during freezing. The effects of the synergistic treatment on water holding capacity, texture and muscle ultrastructure, and myofibrillar protein (MP) aggregation were investigated. The results showed that the co-treatment significantly reduced thawing losses and ice crystal size compared to air freezing. Furthermore, the synergistic treatment improved texture properties and inhibited protein unfolding and aggregation.

Enhancing physical and chemical quality attributes of frozen meat and meat products: Mechanisms, techniques and applications

Nian Lu et al.

Summary: This review discusses the key mechanisms and available techniques for enhancing the quality of frozen meat and meat products by controlling the formation and distribution of ice crystals. Various methods are analyzed, including accelerating freezing rates, forming small and evenly distributed ice crystals, and generating intracellular ice crystals. The effects of these mechanisms on the physical and chemical attributes of frozen meat are examined in detail, as well as their impact on microbiological safety. The review concludes by highlighting the challenges and future research directions in the field.

Role of Lipids in Food Flavor Generation

Fereidoon Shahidi et al.

Summary: Lipids in food are a source of essential fatty acids and play a crucial role in flavor development. Their degradation during food processing, heating, and storage, as well as interactions with other constituents, contribute to the generation of volatile compounds. This paper summarizes recent findings on the production of volatile compounds from lipid degradation and Maillard reactions, and discusses the effects of processing and storage on flavor generation.

The Effect of Application of Chicken Gelatin on Reducing the Weight Loss of Beef Sirloin after Thawing

Jakub Martinek et al.

Summary: Freezing is a commonly used method to extend the shelf life of meat, but it often leads to weight and nutritional losses after thawing. This study aims to reduce these losses by using gelatin coatings. Gelatin extracted from chicken paws using an environmentally friendly enzymatic process was used to create coatings on beef steak. The coatings effectively reduced weight loss during freezing and thawing without negatively affecting other meat properties. This innovative use of gelatin can improve the quality and shelf life of meat.

Biochemical and Physicochemical Changes in Spaghetti Meat During Refrigerated Storage of Chicken Breast

Giulia Tasoniero et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the Spaghetti Meat (SM) myopathy on muscle protein degradation and myowater properties in broiler breasts. The results showed that the myopathy had only a minor impact on myofibrillar proteins and did not affect free calcium concentration or the degradation of specific proteins. However, storage time strongly affected all measured traits. Muscle histology indicated typical indicators of myodegeneration in SM fillets.

On the emerging of thawing drip: Role of myofibrillar protein renaturation

Shuyi Qian et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the origin of thawing drip under different freezing rates. The results showed that slow freezing resulted in greater thaw loss compared to fast freezing. Protein renaturation and water re-absorption were observed during thawing, regardless of the freezing rate, contributing to lower thaw loss.

Effects of Alternating Electric Field Assisted Freezing-Thawing-Aging Sequence on Data-Independent Acquisition Quantitative Proteomics of Longissimus dorsi Muscle

Guangyu Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the proteome differences in bovine Longissimus dorsi muscle during an alternating electric field (AEF)-assisted freezing-thawing-aging sequence. The group assisted by AEF showed improved meat quality compared to the only postmortem aging group. Biochemical markers of beef quality were identified among the differentially abundant proteins. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the impact of AEF-assisted freezing-thawing-aging sequence on beef quality.

Combined impacts of low voltage electrostatic field and high humidity assisted-thawing on quality of pork steaks

Feifei Hu et al.

Summary: The study found that the combination of low voltage electrostatic field and high humidity thawing can improve the quality of pork steaks by maintaining color stability, reducing thawing loss, and enhancing muscle water holding capacity. Additionally, the treated samples showed lower hardness and higher springiness due to their unique muscle microstructure. These results suggest a potential application of the LHT method in meat thawing.

Summary: Food loss and waste in the meat sector is a current, widespread, and serious problem that mainly occurs at the consumption level. Data shows that up to 23% of food is wasted in the entire meat sector. It is important to reduce this waste for economic and environmental reasons, as it can improve efficiency within businesses, help those in need of food, and reduce environmental impacts.
