Physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of biltong,a traditional salted dried meat of South Africa

The microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of several commercial beef, kudu and springbok biltong samples from South Africa were assessed in this study. Analysis of samples allowed their differentiation into ‘dry’ and ‘moist’ samples. Dry biltong showed low moisture content (21.5–25.3 g/100 g), a low water activity (0.65–0.68) and a high salt content (5.5–7.9 g/100 g), while moist biltong showed a higher moisture content (35.1–42.8 g/100 g), a higher water activity (0.85 to 0.89) and a lower salt content (3.8–5.6 g/100 g). The pH value did not vary significantly between both groups (5.00–6.26). The results showed that dry biltong presented a low total plate count (TPC) content, a high level of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and a high level of d-lactic acid as compared to moist biltong. These results suggest that dry biltong complies with the standard hygienic quality (TPC < 7 log cfu/g in agreement with the Food Standards Agency), while moist biltong samples generally showed a low content of d-lactic acid and a low ratio LAB/TPC.     

Effects of transglutaminase and cooking method on the physicochemical characteristics of 3D-printable meat analogs

Mimicking the textural properties of beef remains challenging for 3D-printable meat analogs, owing to the limited extrusive force of 3D printers. We aimed to develop 3D-printable meat analogs that imitate the physicochemical properties of beef using transglutaminase (TG, 0–8 U/g protein) and cooking (steaming, microwaving, baking, or frying). Increased TG incorporation enhanced the rheological properties of the raw meat analogs. When TG was added at 4 U/g protein, the printed meat analogs had smooth surfaces after being incubated at 25 °C for 30 min and relatively high hardnesses after 2 h of incubation. Moreover, meat analogs baked at 170 °C for 25 min had a similar hardness and springiness as beef (P > 0.05). The hardnesses of cooked beef and meat analogs were related to microstructural compactness, cooking loss, and transverse shrinkage. This study provides a method for modifying the texture of meat analogs using enzyme catalysis and cooking.Industrial relevanceCurrently, the application of 3D printing in the production of meat analogs yields an elastic strength comparable to beef by implementing a fiber structure. However, modifying the textural properties of 3D-printable meat analogs to mimic the firm mouthfeel of meat is still one of the challenges that restrict the large-scale industrialization and commercialization of 3D food printing. In this study, we proposed a method for developing meat analogs, which combines enzyme treatment and suitable cooking methods, and investigated the effects of these two technologies on the physicochemical properties of 3D-printable meat analogs. This study provides essential guidance to the industry for developing meat analogs using novel protein sources and combining different technologies.     

Physicochemical characteristics,proximate analysis and mineral composition of ostrich meat as influenced by muscle

The influence of muscle on the physicochemical characteristics, proximate analysis, and mineral composition of meat from 10 ostriches (10–12 months old), slaughtered according to commercial abattoir procedures, were evaluated. Muscle had no influence (p > 0.05) on L*-values (32.5), a*-values (11.9), water-holding capacity (11.9%), final pH (pH₂₄) values (6.07), and ash contents (1.12 g/100 g edible meat). However, intramuscular lipid contents varied (p < 0.05) from 0.88 (M. fibularis longus) to 1.44 (M. flexor cruris lateralis) g/100 g edible meat, at a mean value of 1.16 g/100 g edible meat for 10 different muscles. Sodium (34.7 mg/100 g edible meat) and iron (3.14 mg/100 g edible meat) contents, both influenced (p < 0.05) by muscle, possessed substantially lower and higher values, respectively, than values reported for beef and chicken.

Sensory and functional meat quality characteristics of pork derived from three halothane genotypes

The effect of the halothane gene in pigs on the meat and sensory qualities thereof were determined. Meat derived from 60 Landrace×Large White pigs of three halothane genotypes was used. The sensory qualities, cooking loss, colour, shear value and proximate analysis of the cooked pork loin roasts were determined. The three genotypes did not differ significantly (P>0.05) with regard to the colour of the cooked meat, percentage cooking loss and percentage moisture. There were significant differences (P<0.05) between the genotypes in the percentage protein, ash and fat. Meat from the three genotypes also differed significantly (P<0.05) in juiciness, an analytical sensory panel scored the juiciness of meat from the NN-genotype the highest with a value of 71.3 when using a structured line scale. Meat from the nn-genotype had the lowest score for juiciness (62.8). Meat from the three genotypes did not differ significantly (P>0.05) with regard to tenderness, pork flavour and no mealiness. Correlation values showed a positive correlation (r=0.46, P<0.05) between juiciness and tenderness. These results indicate that the inclusion of the halothane gene in pig production programmes results in meat with an inferior quality and it can be recommended to exclude the halothane positive genotype from any pig production system where fresh pork quality is considered a primary goal.     

Physicochemical characteristics and functional properties of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) seeds protein

The amino acid composition, physicochemical and functional properties of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) seeds protein (GSP) were evaluated and compared with those of soybean protein isolate (SPI). Amino acid analyses of GSP revealed high levels of glutamic/glutamine, glycine and aspartic/asparagines. SDS‐PAGE analysis demonstrated that globulin was the major protein component in GSP, whose subunit molecular weights were mainly varied from 25.5 to 40.0 kDa. The isoelectric pH of GSP was found to be at the acidic pH of around 3.8. At all the pHs tested except pH 2.0, no significant changes of GSP secondary structure were observed. GSP exhibited beneficial functional properties such as preferable solubility and emulsifying activity, while the foaming properties and water holding capacity were relatively poor compared to SPI. It could then be employed to soup, sauce, beverage or meat product for improving nutritional and sensory quality of these foods at appropriate pHs.     

Physicochemical and functional characteristics of proteins treated by a pH-shift process: a review

Advanced structures of food proteins are maintained by many forces such as hydrophobic activities, electrostatic interaction, and disulphide bond interaction, which can affect their functional characteristics to a certain extent. Therefore, many approaches have been utilised to improve functional characteristics of food proteins. pH-shift process refers to the method that food proteins are treated under extreme alkaline or acid conditions followed by adjusting pH to isoelectric point or neutral pH. Many studies have showed that pH-shift process can significantly affect the functional characteristics of food proteins, for example emulsifying activities, forming property, solubility and water/oil adsorption ability. pH-shift process has been utilised to recover protein isolates from many sources including fish, fish by-products, meat processing products. Many researches have indicated that the functional and physicochemical characteristics of recovered protein isolates are significantly influenced by pH-shift process. In this paper, the latest studies regarding the functional and physicochemical characteristics of proteins treated or recovered through pH-shift process, and potential applications of obtained protein isolates in the production of the hydrolysates or used as a delivery system were reviewed.

Processing and characteristics of canola protein-based biodegradable packaging: A review

Interest increased recently in manufacturing food packaging, such as films and coatings, from protein-based biopolymers. Among various protein sources, canola protein is a novel source for manufacturing polymer films. It can be concentrated or isolated by aqueous extraction technology followed by protein precipitation. Using this procedure, it was claimed that more than 99% of protein was extracted from the defatted canola meal, and protein recovery was 87.5%. Canola protein exhibits thermoplastic properties when plasticizers are present, including water, glycerol, polyethylene glycol, and sorbitol. Addition of these plasticizers allows the canola protein to undergo glass transition and facilitates deformation and processability. Normally, canola protein-based bioplastics showed low mechanical properties, which had tensile strength (TS) of 1.19 to 4.31 MPa. So, various factors were explored to improve it, including blending with synthetic polymers, modifying protein functionality through controlled denaturation, and adding cross-linking agents. Canola protein-based bioplastics were reported to have glass transition temperature, T_g, below ?50°C but it highly depends on the plasticizer content. Canola protein-based bioplastics have demonstrated comparable mechanical and moisture barrier properties compared with other plant protein-based bioplastics. They have great potential in food packaging applications, including their use as wraps, sacks, sachets, or pouches.

Healthier meat and meat products: their role as functional foods

This review deals with the implications of meat and meat products for human health. It analyses the effect of the presence or absence of various factors: fat, fatty acid composition, cholesterol, calorific value, salt, nitrite or lipid oxidation products that can cause health problems. Bearing in mind these considerations, it then describes the strategies used in animal production, treatment of meat raw material and reformulation of meat products to obtain healthier meat and meat products. Functional ingredients are responsible for making functional foods work, and this review therefore discusses the scope of current meat technology to favour the presence of various active-food components, and provide an additional physiological benefit beyond that of meeting basic nutritional needs.
