Investigation of the sensory properties of the flesh of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed diets with astaxanthin, shrimp waste meal and red pepper meal

Sensory properties (colour, general appearance and taste) were investigated in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, fed standard diets supplemented with either 60 mg/kg astaxanthin, shrimp waste meal or red pepper meal. The fish were divided into three experimental groups (fed diets supplemented with pigments) and one control group, and fed experimental and control diets for 100 days. After the feeding period, the fish were evaluated for sensory properties. Colour was evaluated using a colour card for salmonids. General appearance and taste were evaluated using hedonic scaling. Significant differences between the fish fed diets with and without pigment supplementation were found. Feeding of rainbow trout with diets supplemented with pigments affected their sensory properties.

Comparative assessment of proximate composition,physicochemical parameters,fatty acid profile and mineral content in farmed and wild rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

This study was conducted to determine differences between farmed and wild rainbow trout in terms of proximate and fatty acid composition, physicochemical parameters and mineral content. Fat content of farmed fish fillets was higher, while moisture content was lower than wild fish. However, wild fish had higher pH value and water‐holding capacity comparing to farmed fish. The muscle lipids of farmed fish contained higher proportions of 20:0, 18:1n‐9 and 20:1n‐9; and lower proportions of 18:2n‐6, 20:2cis, 18:3n‐3, 20:3n‐6, 20:4n‐6, 20:5n‐3 and 22:6n‐3 fatty acids than wild fish. The percentage of total saturated fatty acids (SFAs) was similar in both fish. Total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), n‐3 PUFAs and n‐3/n‐6 PUFAs ratio were higher in the wild fish comparing to farmed fish, whereas its total monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and n‐6 PUFAs contents were lower. Among the seventeen minerals analysed in fish flesh, differences existed between farmed and wild rainbow trout in Ca and Fe contents. Moreover, toxic trace minerals (As, Cd, Pb and Hg) were all present in amounts below their toxic levels. The differences observed between farmed and wild fish may be attributed to the diet constituents and environmental conditions of the fish.     

Changes in fatty acid composition and improved sensory quality of backfat and meat of pigs fed bacterial protein meal

A total of 48 pigs (11.4 and 107.2 kg initial and final weight) were used to evaluate increasing dietary levels of bacterial protein meal (BPM) produced on natural gas (0, 50, 100, or 150 g kg⁻¹) on fatty acid composition, sensory properties, and susceptibility of pork to lipid oxidation. Increasing levels of BPM to diets increased the content of C16:1 fatty acids in backfat and muscle and total monounsaturated fatty acids in muscle, but decreased the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids and iodine value in backfat and muscle. Pigs fed diets containing BPM had reduced thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value in backfat and muscle, reduced intensity of odor and rancid odor and taste in pork after short-time storage, and reduced off-odor and off-taste after intermediate-time storage. To conclude, adding BPM to diets for pigs changed the fatty acid profile, improved the oxidative stability, and sensory quality of pork.     

Correlations of trained panel sensory values of cooked pork with fatty acid composition,muscle fiber type,and pork quality characteristics in Berkshire pigs

The objective was to examine the relationship of trained panel sensory scores of cooked pork with fatty acid composition, muscle fiber type, and meat quality characteristics from Berkshire pigs. No or few associations were found between the panel sensory scores of cooked meat, especially tenderness attributes, and fatty acid composition; however, intramuscular fat content positively correlated with off-flavor score (r = 0.31). On the other hand, the morphological characteristics of muscle fibers were correlated with panel sensory values. Muscles with smaller cross-sectional area and higher density of fibers were more closely associated with softer, more tender panel scores and a lower number of chews than muscles with larger fiber area and lower density of fibers. The water holding capacity test of filter-paper fluid uptake was moderately correlated with panel scores of softness (r = 0.33), initial tenderness (r = 0.38), chewiness (r = 0.40), juiciness (r = − 0.27), flavor intensity (r = − 0.23), and off-flavor (r = 0.30). Panel sensory values of Berkshire pig meat was moderately related to postmortem meat quality, especially water holding capacity. A more thorough understanding of the relationships between fatty acid composition and muscle fiber type with palatability is needed.

Effect of crossbreeding and gender on meat quality and fatty acid composition in pork

This study considers the effect of crossbreeding and gender (barrows; gilts) on meat quality and intramuscular and subcutaneous fatty acid composition in pork. The sire lines included Large White (LW), Duroc (D) and Pietrain (P) and the dam line was Landrace (LR)×LW, producing LW×(LR×LW), D×(LR×LW) and P×(LR×LW). Pork samples were removed from Longissimus dorsi (LD) and Semimembranosus (SM) muscles and subcutaneous fat (SCF). There were no important differences in meat quality parameters but D×(LR×LW) had the highest percentage of intramuscular fat. Castrated males had more intramuscular fat and more intense meat colour than female pigs. The Large White and Duroc sire line had saturated fatty acids (SFA) in SM, whereas the Pietrain sire line was significantly higher than Duroc sire line in the concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), PUFA/SFA (P/S) and the n-6/n-3 ratio. The concentrations of SFA and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in SCF were significantly higher in LW×(LR×LW) and P×(LR×LW), respectively. No differences were found in the percentage of PUFA, P/S and n-6/n-3 ratio between D×(LR×LW) and P×(LR×LW). Female pigs had the most polyunsaturated intramuscular and subcutaneous fat. The results demonstrate small differences in fatty acid compositions among sires.     

不同酥油理化特性及脂肪酸组成分析

对食用酥油和工业酥油的理化特性和脂肪酸组成进行了研究.结果表明:脂肪是食用酥油和工业酥油的主要组成成分,含量分别为87.58％和98.87％;食用酥油与工业酥油的酸值(KOH)分别为1.23、5.71 mg/g,过氧化值分别为0.475 7、1.003 6 meq/kg,折光指数(50℃)分别为1.443 5、1.438 8,皂化值(KOH)分别为122.97、130.60 mg/g,碘值(Ⅰ)分别为30.41、44.50 g/100 g,黏度(50℃)分别为29.2、25.2 mPa·s,熔点分别为42.3、47.5℃;食用酥油与工业酥油饱和脂肪酸和不饱和脂肪酸的含量分别为84.83％、15.17％和76.37％、23.63％.     

Effect of red sweet pepper dehydration conditions on Maillard reaction,ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity

In this study we evaluated the application of low pressure-controlled temperature drying in the production process of dehydrated sweet red pepper and contrast the quality of this dehydrated vegetable in terms of the concentration of some heat liable components (ascorbic acid), decrease on the antioxidant activity and formation of furosine (Amadori compound of lysine formed during the Maillard reaction). Analysis of data showed that furosine is a good indicator for controlling the dehydration process of red pepper. In addition, the stability of the antioxidant activity and proteical damage (measured as furosine formation) in red pepper is a function of the dehydration conditions: Higher temperatures exert a strong influence on the kinetics of degradation, accelerating the rate of decomposition of antioxidant compounds and the loss of proteical quality.     

Effect of sampling fat location and cooking on fatty acid composition of beef steaks

To investigate the impact of sampling fat location and cooking on fatty acid composition of beef steaks, 21 raw steaks from crossbred steers were dissected to obtain outer (OSC) and inner subcutaneous fat (ISC), seam fat, marbling, and lean muscle. Twenty-one cooked steaks were dissected to obtain OSC, ISC, seam fat, surface and inner muscle. Trans-vaccenic acid and c9, t11-CLA percentages were lower (P < 0.05) in lean muscle than subcutaneous (s.c.) fat or marbling. Monounsaturated: saturated fatty acid ratios were lower (P < 0.05) in seam fat and marbling than s.c. fat or lean muscle. Linoleic and linolenic acid levels were highest in lean muscle and longer chain n−6 and n−3 fatty acids were only detected in lean muscle. Cooking did not change fatty acid composition dramatically except that n−6: n−3 ratio in s.c. and seam fat decreased after cooking (P < 0.05).     

Effects of myosin heavy chain isoforms on meat quality, fatty acid composition, and sensory evaluation in Berkshire pigs

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms on meat and sensory quality in Berkshire pigs. A total of 85 pigs were evaluated, and muscle samples were taken for the analyses of MHC isoform, meat quality, fatty acid composition, and sensory evaluation. Content of the MHC slow isoform was significantly correlated with pH(24h) (r=0.26, P<0.05) and drip loss (r=-0.32, P<0.01), although the content of MHC isoforms showed limited relationships with individual fatty acids. In the case of sensory evaluation of meat by a trained panel test, the MHC fast/slow ratio was correlated with the juiciness (r=-0.33, P<0.01), off-flavor (r=0.34, P<0.01), tenderness attributes (r=-0.43 to -0.47). These results imply that the content of MHC isoforms can influence various aspects of quality including pork and sensory quality in Berkshire pigs.     

Effect of dietary levels of fat, α-tocopherol and astaxanthin on colour and lipid oxidation during storage of frozen rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and during chill storage of smoked trout

 Female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with an initial weight of 0.8–0.9 kg were raised in two experiments including a total of 2550 fish divided into 17 groups. The fish were raised for 6 months on 13 different feeds (four fish groups were replicates) varying in dietary levels of fat (27% or 32%), astaxanthin (40, 70 or 100 mg astaxanthin/kg feed) and vitamin E (α-tocopherol; 100, 300 or 600 mg all-rac-α-tocopheryl acetate/kg feed). The levels of fat, astaxanthin and α-tocopherol in the fillets all increased with increasing dietary levels of each feed component. Furthermore, astaxanthin deposition was found to be significantly improved by increasing the dietary fat level from 27% to 32%, but was not affected by dietary levels of α-tocopherol. The highest deposition of α-tocopherol was found in fish fed the lowest level of astaxanthin (40 mg/kg), whereas α-tocopherol deposition was unaffected by the dietary fat level. Frozen storage (–28  °C) of gutted, cleaned and glazed raw fish for 18 months significantly reduced astaxanthin and α-tocopherol levels, while lipid oxidation, measured as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) was limited. In the first experiment, the highest TBARS levels were found during frozen storage in fish fed the lowest level of astaxanthin (40 mg/kg versus 70 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg); unaffected by dietary levels of α-tocopherol (100 mg/kg versus 600 mg/kg), whereas the dietary astaxanthin level (70 mg/kg versus 100 mg/kg) did not influence lipid oxidation in frozen fish in the second experiment. After brine injection, fillets of fish were smoked and a vacuum-packed (95%), sliced product in a transparent laminate was produced. The quality (pigmentation and lipid oxidation) during 3 weeks of illuminated, chill storage (3  °C) was compared for smoked products produced from fresh fish and from fish stored at –28  °C for 12 months and 18 months. Smoked fillets from fish fed 32% fat were found to be less red than those from fish fed 27% fat, and the astaxanthin content and surface redness of the smoked product decreased during chill storage. Lipid oxidation was pronounced in smoked trout, but a high level of α-tocopherol in the fillet significantly reduced lipid oxidation during chill storage of the smoked product. Lipid oxidation in smoked fillets from fish fed 32% fat was more pronounced than in fish fed 27% fat, but increasing the dietary α-tocopherol level from 300 mg/kg feed to 600 mg/kg feed effectively counteracted the negative effect of the high-fat diet on lipid oxidation in the smoked product. Astaxanthin did not affect lipid oxidation in the chill-stored smoked product, in contrast to the frozen, raw fish. Astaxanthin seems to protect against the very early stages of lipid oxidation, while α-tocopherol is more important as an antioxidant at more advanced stages of lipid oxidation.

琼崖海棠籽油的理化性质及脂肪酸组成分析

以琼崖海棠籽为原料,机械压榨法制取琼崖海棠籽油,分析了琼崖海棠籽油的理化指标,并通过气相色谱-质谱( GC - MS)联用分析其脂肪酸组成.结果表明:琼崖海棠籽油的酸值(KOH) 27mg/g,过氧化值1.184 meq/kg,折光指数(n20d)1.489 2,碘值(Ⅰ)83.96 g/100 g,水分及挥发物0.070％,灰分0.029％,皂化值(KOH) 192.3 mg/g,相对密度(d25 4疗)0.934 8;其主要脂肪酸组成是9-十八碳烯酸(27.67％),9,12-十八碳二烯酸(16.78％),9-十八碳烯酸(E)(13.54％),十八碳酸(12.92％),十六碳酸(10.77％),11,14-二十碳二烯酸(7.17％),正十六碳酸(5.24％),十七碳酸(5.13％).     

Amino acid composition,antioxidant and functional properties of protein hydrolysates from the roe of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

A fish roe protein hydrolysate from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) trout roe protein hydrolysates (TRH) was produced by pepsin and Alcalase. Proximate, amino acid compositions, protein digestibility and molecular mass distribution of the hydrolysates were determined. The degree of hydrolysis was found to be 44.08% and 27.62% (pepsin and Alcalase, respectively). The two hydrolysates contained a high amount of essential amino acids (33.53% Alcalase–29.39% pepsin). The results showed that TRH by different enzymes is a good source of the leucine and lysine amino acids. The pepsin produced a white powder with higher brightness (L* = 89.50). Alcalase hydrolysate was brownish yellow in colour (L* = 52.85, a* = 10.30, b* = 26.25). The hydrolysates represented excellent antioxidant activities in various concentrations. TRHs showed a good foaming and emulsification properties. The results thus revealed that protein hydrolysates from rainbow trout roe could be used as food additives possessing essential amino acids and antioxidant activity.     

Effect of high-pressure treatment on the fatty acid composition of intramuscular lipid in pork

To investigate the effect of high-pressure (HP) treatment on lipid oxidation and fatty acid composition of intramuscular lipid in pork, the longissimus muscles from Rongchang (RC) pig were pressurized at 200, 350 and 500 MPa for 20 min at 20 °C prior to 7 days storage at 4 °C. The changes in TBARS number, lipid content and fatty acid composition of total intramuscular lipids, phospholipids, triglycerides and free fatty acids in untreated and HP treated samples were analyzed. HP treatment had no significant effect on the content and fatty acid composition of total lipids and triglycerides in the samples, but treatment at 350 MPa and above led to marked increases in TBARS values and lipolysis of partial phospholipids causing a correlative increase of free fatty acid content. A preferential hydrolysis for polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in phospholipids was observed, which resulted in the percentage of PUFA in phospholipids decreasing markedly and thereby that in free fatty acids increasing significantly.     

Colour of fat,and colour,fatty acid composition and sensory characteristics of muscle from heifers offered alternative forages to grass silage in a finishing ration

The effect of type of silage offered to beef heifers during the finishing period on aspects of beef quality was determined. In two experiments, a diet based on grass silage (GS) was compared with a diet based on maize silage (MS) or whole-crop wheat silage (WCW). Compared to the GS-based diet, increasing the amount of MS linearly increased fat whiteness while the increase in fat whiteness due to WCW was dependent on the stage of crop maturity at harvesting. There was no effect of diet on muscle colour or on muscle pH measured at 48 h post-mortem, drip loss, taste panel traits after 14 days ageing or shear force values at 2, 7 or 14 days ageing. The alternative silages decreased the n − 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid proportion and increased the linoleic:linolenic acid ratio in intramuscular lipid. It is concluded that type of silage affects fat colour and fatty acid composition of muscle but not the other muscle characteristics examined.     

Effect of antioxidant on the fatty acid composition and lipid oxidation of intramuscular lipid in pressurized pork

To investigate the effect of antioxidants on lipid oxidation and fatty acid composition in pressurized pork, minced pork with or without 1% Na(2)EDTA was pressurized at 500MPa before 7days storage at 4°C. TBARS value, lipid content and fatty acid composition in untreated and high-pressure (HP) treated samples were analyzed. HP treatment induced marked increases in TBARS values and lipolysis of partial phospholipids causing an increase of free fatty acid content. Preferential hydrolysis for polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in phospholipids resulted in the percentage of PUFA in phospholipids decreasing markedly and thereby that in free fatty acids increasing significantly. Addition of 1% Na(2)EDTA to minced pork before HP significantly decreased the TBARS values in pressurized samples, but did not inhibit the lipolysis of phospholipids, causing the fatty acid composition of phospholipids and free fatty acids to change similarly to those samples without Na(2)EDTA.     

Meat quality, fatty acid composition and flavour analysis in Belgian retail beef

The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in biochemical, sensorial and quality characteristics of retail beef in Belgium. Four types of beef (Belgian Blue double-muscled, Limousin, Irish and Argentine) and two different muscles (longissimus lumborum and semimembranosus) were bought at the retail level and compared with regard to colour, shear force, collagen content, fatty acid analysis, taste panel evaluation as well as flavour analysis. Belgian Blue and Limousin beef had a paler colour, lower collagen and intramuscular fat contents. Fatty acid profiles were significantly different between the four types, with significantly higher PUFA/SFA and n-6/n-3 ratios for Belgiam Blue and Limousin beef compared to Argentine and Irish beef. There were significant differences between the meat types for taste panel tenderness and shear force, however both measurements did not fully correspond. Flavour analysis by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry as well as sensory analysis demonstrated that Irish and Argentine beef had a higher flavour intensity related to higher contents of volatile compounds. Differences in tenderness and flavour between the meat types were probably affected by differences in ageing time, related to import vs local production of meat.
