Determination of soybean proteins in commercial heat-processed meat products prepared with chicken,beef or complex mixtures of meats from different species

The addition of foreign proteins (mainly soybean proteins and milk proteins) to heat-processed meat products is a common practice. This work approaches the determination of additions of soybean proteins in heat-processed meat products prepared with chicken meat, beef meat, and complex mixtures of meats from different species (chicken, pork, beef, and turkey) by perfusion reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The applied method was previously developed for the determination of soybean proteins in pork and turkey meat products but it has never been tested for the determination of soybean proteins in other heat-processed meat products containing other kinds of meats. This paper demonstrates the validity of this method for the detection of soybean proteins in heat-processed meat products containing different varieties of meats and even in the presence of other foreign proteins such as milk proteins. The specificity and existence of matrix interferences have been checked for these samples and accuracy has been evaluated by the comparison of the soybean protein contents determined by the proposed method and the official ELISA method.     

Analysis of soyabean proteins in meat products: a review

The use of soyabean proteins as meat extenders has spread significantly due to the interesting nutritional and functional properties that are present in soyabean proteins. Together with these, health and economical reasons are the major causes for the addition of soyabean proteins to meat products. Nevertheless, despite the good properties associated to soyabean proteins, there are many countries in which the addition of these proteins is forbidden or in which the addition of soyabean proteins is allowed up to a certain extent. Thus, the need of analytical methods enabling the detection of added soyabean proteins in meat products is obvious. Microscopic, electrophoretic, immunologic, and chromatographic methods are the most widely used for this purpose. However, the detection of soyabean proteins in meat products presents difficulties related to the composition (meat species, meat quality, soyabean protein source, presence of other non-meat proteins, etc.) and the processing of the meat products, and, although these analytical methods have tried to overcome all these difficulties, there is still not a method enabling quantitative assessment of soyabean proteins in all kinds of meat products.     

A PCR assay to detect trace amounts of soybean in meat sausages

Soybean proteins are the most widely used source vegetable proteins in the meat industry because of several interesting characteristics. As soybean is included in the group of ingredients potentially allergenic, if not declared, it can be considered a hidden allergen, representing a potential risk to sensitised individuals. The aim of this work was to optimise and apply DNA‐based techniques for soybean detection in meat products, as alternative to the currently used protein‐based methods. The optimised polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol targeting the soybean lectin gene enabled the detection of the addition of 0.1% and 0.5% of hydrated textured protein, which corresponded to 0.01% and 0.06% (w/w) of soybean protein in unprocessed and heat‐processed pork meats, respectively. The established PCR technique, when applied to commercial meat sausages (eighteen samples), confirmed the presence of soybean declared in nine samples and indicated the presence of soybean in four samples with no labelled information about soybean. Additionally, the event‐specific PCR detection of Roundup Ready^® soybean was also performed, enabling the detection of transgenic DNA in three samples.     

Determination of soybean proteins in soybean–wheat and soybean–rice commercial products by perfusion reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography

The determination of additions of soybean proteins in commercial bakery products containing soybean–wheat and soybean–rice binary mixtures has been achieved in this work by high-performance liquid chromatography using a perfusive column. Soybean proteins were solubilized in a 25:75 acetonitrile–water mixture containing 0.3% (v/v) acetic acid by ultrasonication for 10 min and centrifugation for 5 min. Soybean proteins were separated from rice and wheat proteins in less than 4 min using a linear binary gradient of acetonitrile–water containing 0.3% (v/v) acetic acid as ion-pairing agent. The proposed method was proved to be specific and sensitive making possible the detection and the quantitation of additions of about 0.10% (w/w) and 0.33% (w/w), respectively, of soybean proteins in soybean–wheat and soybean–rice products (related to 1 g of initial product). Precision and recoveries observed were also acceptable. The method was applied to the determination of soybean proteins in different commercial bakery products.     

A survey of the use of soy in processed Turkish meat products and detection of genetic modification

To screen for possible illegal use of soybeans in meat products, the performance characteristics of a commercial polymer chain reaction (PCR) kit for detection of soybean DNA in raw and cooked meat products were established. Minced chicken and beef products containing soybean at levels from 0.1% to 10.0% were analysed by real-time PCR to amplify the soybean lectin gene. The PCR method could reliably detect the addition of soybean at a level of 0.1%. A survey of 38 Turkish processed meat products found only six samples to be negative for the presence of soybean. In 32 (84%) positive samples, 13 (34%) contained levels of soy above 0.1%. Of soybean positive samples, further DNA analysis was conducted by real-time PCR to detect whether genetically modified (GM) soybean had been used. Of 32 meat samples containing soybean, two samples were positive for GM modification.

Recombinant DNA in meat additives: Specific detection of Roundup Ready™ soybean by nested PCR

Soybean proteins are widely used by the meat industry as technological coadjutor when producing processed products such as emulsified and ground meat products. Since regulations for the use and labeling of GMOs and derived ingredients are in force in Brazil, a PCR‐based method capable of detecting Roundup Ready^? (RR) soybean was employed for meat additives. Thirty‐two samples of meat additives containing soy proteins were tested for the presence of soybean amplifiable DNA and RR soybean DNA. Twenty‐five samples gave a positive signal for the lectin gene, confirming the presence of soybean amplifiable DNA and 15 samples returned a positive signal for specific RR detection confirming the presence of genetically modified soy. These results demonstrate for the first time the presence of RR soybean in meat additives. This method may be useful for meat industries interested in controlling the presence of RR soybean in additives used for meat products manufacture. Copyright © 2007 Society of Chemical Industry     

Rapid detection of the addition of soybean proteins to cheese and other dairy products by reversed-phase perfusion chromatography

The undeclared addition of soybean proteins to milk products is forbidden and a method is needed for food control and enforcement. This paper reports the development of a chromatographic method for routine analysis enabling the detection of the addition of soybean proteins to dairy products. A perfusion chromatography column and a linear binary gradient of acetonitrile-water-0.1% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid at a temperature of 60°C were used. A very simple sample treatment consisting of mixing the sample with a suitable solvent (Milli-Q water or bicarbonate buffer (pH = 11)) and centrifuging was used. The method enabled the separation of soybean proteins from milk proteins in less than 4 min (at a flow-rate of 3 ml/min). The method has been successfully applied to the detection of soybean proteins in milk, cheese, yogurt, and enteral formula. The correct quantitation of these vegetable proteins has also been possible in milk adulterated at origin with known sources of soybean proteins. The application of the method to samples adulterated at origin also leads to interesting conclusions as to the effect of the processing conditions used for the preparation of each dairy product on the determination of soybean proteins.     

Use of dairy proteins in lean poultry meat batters – a comparative study

The use of dry whole milk, skimmed milk, caseinate, regular and modified whey, at 2% level (w/w) and with 2% additional protein level was studied in a chicken breast meat system with 51% water addition. At the 2% (w/w) level, all dairy proteins significantly reduced cooking loss compared with the control, with caseinate showing the best results. When compared on an equal protein level (2% total protein), the best performing ingredients were the whole milk and modified whey. A similar observation was made in their effect on the products’ hardness and fracturability. A cost analysis revealed that modified whey provided the most economical ingredient even when used in quantities three times greater than that of as caseinate. Microscopy results showed the formation of larger fine‐protein‐matrix regions in the treatments that provided higher fracturability values.     

Determination of the maximum feasible proportion in the substitution of meat substances by protein isolates in combined meat products

The author discusses the experimental data obtained during studies on male Wistar rats on the biological value of combined meat products (20 samples) including soybean protein isolate, sodium caseinate, and blood plasma proteins. The replacement proportions were 0, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100%. A definite dependence was ascertained between the biological value of total proteins in combined meat products and the replacement proportions. The replacement of meat proteins by soybean protein isolate (not over 25%), by sodium caseinate (by 50%) and by blood plasma proteins (not over 25%) and by a mixture containing 3 proteins (soybean, lactic, plasma) did not reduce the biological value of these combined meat products as compared to control.     

An optimised HS-SPME-GC-MS method for the detection of volatile nitrosamines in meat samples

A method to detect volatile nitrosamines in meat samples was developed using headspace sampling by solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME), with analysis by GC-MS. A 50/30 µm divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane fused silica fibre was selected to extract a total of nine volatile nitrosamines: N-nitrosodimethylamine, N-nitrosomethylethylamine, N-nitrosodiethylamine, N-nitrosodi-n-propylamine, N-nitrosomorpholine, N-nitrosopyrrolidine, N-nitrosopiperidine, N-nitrosodi-n-butylamine, and N-nitrosodiphenylamine. Extraction at 65°C for 45 min with 36% (w/v) NaCl were the optimal conditions determined for the extraction of nine nitrosamines. Excellent linearity was obtained for all analytes with determination coefficients greater than 0.997. Recovery rates were between 92 and 113%. The relative standard deviation ranged from 0.81 to 8.0% for six of the nine compounds, and from 16 to 32% for the other three. For seven out of nine nitrosamines, limits of detection were below 3.6 µg kg^?1 and the limits of quantification were below 12 µg kg^?1. The nitrosamine levels in four varieties of processed meat products were investigated to assess the applicability of the method. Based on the results, the developed HS-SPME-GC-MS method proved to be a simple and efficient technique to detect seven out of nine nitrosamines in meat products with adequate sensitivity, accuracy and precision.

Effects of salt and ammonium hydroxide on the quality of ground buffalo meat

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of ammonium hydroxide (AH) and sodium chloride on the quality of ground buffalo meat patties. Ground buffalo meat was treated with distilled water (control), 0.5% v/w AH, 1.0% v/w AH, 2.0% v/w AH and 1.0% w/w sodium chloride was added for all the samples. Treatment with AH increased (P<0.05) the pH and water holding capacity (WHC) of ground buffalo meat patties during storage relative to their controls. Hunterlab a* (redness) and chroma values increased (P<0.05) and hue decreased (P<0.05) in all AH treated samples in comparison to controls during storage. Ammonium hydroxide significantly (P<0.05) inhibited metmyoglobin formation compared to control after 3rd day of storage. There was a significant (P<0.05) reduction in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values in all AH treated samples compared to control throughout storage. These results indicate the potential antioxidant and myoglobin redox stabilizing effect of AH in ground buffalo meat patties.

Flavor challenges in extruded plant-based meat alternatives: A review

Demand for plant-based meat alternatives has increased in recent years due to concerns about health, ethics, the environment, and animal welfare. Nevertheless, the market share of plant-based meat alternatives must increase significantly if they are to support sustainable food production and consumption. Flavor is an important limiting factor of the acceptability and marketability of plant-based meat alternatives. Undesirable chemosensory perceptions, such as a beany flavor, bitter taste, and astringency, are often associated with plant proteins and products that use them. This study reviewed 276 articles to answer the following five research questions: (1) What are the volatile and nonvolatile compounds responsible for off-flavors? (2) What are the mechanisms by which these flavor compounds are generated? (3) What is the influence of thermal extrusion cooking (the primary structuring technique to transform plant proteins into fibrous products that resemble meat in texture) on the flavor characteristics of plant proteins? (4) What techniques are used in measuring the flavor properties of plant-based proteins and products? (5) What strategies can be used to reduce off-flavors and improve the sensory appeal of plant-based meat alternatives? This article comprehensively discusses, for the first time, the flavor issues of plant-based meat alternatives and the technologies available to improve flavor and, ultimately, acceptability.

The rheological properties of exudates from cured porcine muscle: effects of added non‐meat proteins

Meat exudates were collected from massaged cured porcine M semimembranosus using a model massaging unit. Exudates were used to observe changes in gelation properties due to the incorporation of commercially available non‐meat proteins. These included: soya isolate (90%), sodium (Na) caseinate (85%) and high gelling whey protein concentrates (WPCs, A‐35%, B‐75% and C‐β‐lactoglobulin (55%), as well as a regular 76% protein, WPC D. Compositional analysis ( n=6) showed that incorporation of non‐meat proteins significantly (P<0.05) increased the protein concentration of test exudates in all cases compared to controls. The viscoelastic properties of control and test meat exudate samples (n=6) were analysed using control stress rheology in oscillatory mode. All exudates were heated from 20 to 80°C at 1°C min⁻¹, and subsequently cooled after 30 min back down to 20°C at 1°C min ⁻¹. Addition of WPCs at a 1, 2 and 3% residual powder level and soya isolate at a 1% residual level, resulted in increased storage modulus G′ (Pa) values compared with controls. A 1% residual level of Na caseinate was detrimental to meat exudate gelation, resulting in lower final G′ (Pa) values than those observed for the control. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry
