Effect of Dietary Fiber on Properties and Acceptance of Meat Products: A Review

Meat is an important source of all essential nutritional components of our daily diet as it content most of the essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals which are lack in plant based food, but it is devoid of dietary fiber, which is very essential component for normal physiological/biochemical process. During meat products processing, its functional values can be improved by supplementation of dietary fiber rich vegetative substances like cereal and pulse flour, vegetable and fruits pulp, etc. by this process, a significant proportion of required daily allowance of dietary fiber can be fulfilled for the frequent meat consumers. The consumption of meat products fortified with of dietary fiber can lead to the prevention of diseases like coronary heart disease, diabetes, irritable bowel disease, obesity, etc. On the other hand, the dietary fiber can effectively be incorporated in the processed meat products as binders, extender, and filler, they can significantly replace the unhealthy fat components from the products; increase acceptability by improving nutritional components, pH, water-holding capacity, emulsion stability, shear press value, sensory characters, etc. of finished products. Addition of dietary fiber in the meat products can increase the cooking yield therefore the economic gain as well.

Application of functional citrus by-products to meat products

Consumers are increasingly aware of diet related health problems and therefore demanding natural ingredients which are expected to be safe and health-promoting. By-products of citrus fruits processing industries represent a serious problem, but they are also promising sources of materials which may be used in the food industry because of their valuable technological and nutritional properties. Two types of citrus by-products (lemon albedo and orange dietary fiber powder), at different concentrations, were added to cooked and dry-cured sausages. The purpose of this paper is to describe the latest advances on the potential of citrus by-products as a source of functional compounds and their application in meat products.     

Functional foods: a survey of health claims, pros and cons, and current legislation

Functional foods stand for a new category of remarkably promising foods bearing properties (i.e., low cholesterol, antioxidant, anti-aging, anticancer, etc.) that have already rendered them quite appealing. There are many classes offunctionalfoods (pro- and pre-biotics, dietary fiber, low fat, etc.), and their definition is occasionally confused with that of nutraceuticals and novel foods. Consumers' main skepticism regarding functional foods resides in the veracity of health claims and in the low and often inadequate control of their claimed properties. Legislation concerning this matter is progressing at an extremely low pace and currently only Japan, the U.K., U.S.A., and Scandinavian countries have managed to make notable progress. Moreover, the labeling of functional foods is far from informative, providing scanty information about nutritional value, storage, and cooking recipes. It is anticipated that technological advances in the food industry, in conjunction with extensive clinical trials and governmental control, will eventually guarantee the credibility of health claims and ensure consumers' confidence in functional foods.     

Validation of a size exclusion liquid chromatographic method for determination of methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose food gums as soluble dietary fiber in food and food product

A size exclusion liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of methylcellulose (MC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as dietary fiber in food. These modified cellulose food gums are used in a wide variety of foods and physiologically behave as dietary fibers but are not determined using existing analytical dietary fiber methods. This article reports a single laboratory validation of a new method based on AOAC 991.43, and uses a liquid chromatograph with a refractive index detector. This new method was validated for foods containing 0.2–27% of MC and HPMC employing AOAC’s Single Laboratory Validation protocol. Ten food samples of meat, bread, milk powder, potato and orange juice drink mix were studied. Precision of the new method, measured as total standard deviation (St), varied from 0.01 to 2 for foods containing 0.2–27% MC; and from 0.05 to 0.2 for foods containing 0.5–3.8% HPMC. Recovery varied from 76% to 85% for MC, and from 75% to 113% for HPMC. Use of a blank matrix proved successful in correcting for indigenous food fibers. The method demonstrated excellent linearity down to 0.03%. This provides the sensitivity required for food nutrition labeling purposes. These results show the method is suitable for determination of MC and HPMC in food and support further validation through a collaborative study.     

Physical and Sensory Properties of Model Foods Supplemented with Cauliflower Fiber

Cauliflower floret/curd and stem, as by-products of processing, are a source of pectic-polysaccharide-rich fiber concentrates for use as water and oil binding agents and textural agents to improve the properties of model foods. Dehydration resulted in a 10% decrease in methyl esterification at above 40°C. Water retention capacity of florets (40°C) was reduced from 12.8 g/g to 5.7 g/g in 75°C dried samples, demonstrating the importance of matrix structure rather than polysaccharide composition for functional properties. Incorporation gave a 10% increase in the yield of beefburgers and a partial substitution for purified gums in sauces. Cauliflower fibers can be incorporated into food systems at concentrations found in vegetables but sensory characteristics depend on processing history.

Nutritional characterization of tomato fiber as a useful ingredient for food industry

Tomato by-product consists of peels and seeds, presenting peel high fiber content. In this work, “tomato fiber” (TF) samples, obtained from tomato peels (after tomato processing) by a patented process, were characterized in terms of fiber and macronutrients (proteins, ash, total available carbohydrates and soluble sugars). From our results, TF is mainly composed by carbohydrates, with an average value of 80% of total dietary fiber (much higher than other vegetable by-products), being insoluble fiber the major component. The results obtained in this study reveal the high interest of TF as a food ingredient to be used as a valuable ingredient of new functional foods, enhancing insoluble fiber intake in the population.Industrial RelevanceThe use of tomato by-product reduces costs and justifies new investments in equipment, providing a correct solution for the pollution problem connected with tomato processing. The results obtained in this study reveal the high interest of TF as a food ingredient to be used as a valuable ingredient of new functional foods, enhancing insoluble fiber intake in the population. According to the Regulation 1924/2006, the product TF characterized in this study can be considered under the denomination of “Source of Fiber” (more than 3 g/100 g), and for that reason food products containing the above mentioned fiber in quantities equal or superior to 3.9%, could also include the same declaration of nutritional properties in their labeling.

Bioactive Natural Constituents from Food Sources—Potential Use in Hypertension Prevention and Treatment

Prevention and management of hypertension are the major public health challenges worldwide. Uncontrolled high blood pressure may lead to a shortened life expectancy and a higher morbidity due to a high risk of cardiovascular complications such as coronary heart disease (which leads to heart attack) and stroke, congestive heart failure, heart rhythm irregularities, and kidney failure etc. In recent years, it has been recognized that many dietary constituents may contribute to human cardiovascular health. There has been an increased focus on identifying these natural components of foods, describing their physiological activities and mechanisms of actions. Grain, vegetables, fruits, milk, cheese, meat, chicken, egg, fish, soybean, tea, wine, mushrooms, and lactic acid bacteria are various food sources with potential antihypertensive effects. Their main bioactive constituents include angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides, vitamins C and E, flavonoids, flavanols, cathecins, anthocyanins, phenolic acids, polyphenols, tannins, resveratrol, polysaccharides, fiber, saponin, sterols, as well as K, Ca, and P. They may reduce blood pressure by different mechanisms, such as ACE inhibition effect, antioxidant, vasodilatory, opiate-like, Ca²⁺ channel blocking, and chymase inhibitory activities. These functional foods may provide new therapeutic applications for hypertension prevention and treatment, and contribute to a healthy cardiovascular population. The present review summarizes the antihypertensive food sources and their bioactive constituents, as well as physiological mechanisms of dietary products, especially focusing on ACE inhibitory activity.     

Recent developments in the application of seaweeds or seaweed extracts as a means for enhancing the safety and quality attributes of foods

The production of rancid flavors and odors due to oxidative stress in foods can lead to a reduction in the sensory attributes, nutritional quality and food safety. Due to consumer demands, interest has been generated in searching plant products for natural “green” additives. Extracts from macroalgae or seaweeds are rich in polyphenolic compounds which have well documented antioxidant properties. They also have antimicrobial activities against major food spoilage and food pathogenic micro-organisms. Thus, possibility of seaweeds being added to foods as a source of antioxidant and antimicrobial is the main focus of this communication. In addition, seaweeds are also rich in dietary minerals specially sodium, potassium, iodine and fibers. Another potential area where the use of seaweed is gaining importance is regarding their addition for improving the textural properties of food products which is also extensively reviewed in this paper.

Industrial relevance

The trend towards the use of “natural green” plant extracts in various food and beverages in the food industry is gaining momentum. Seaweed, being a rich source of structurally diverse bioactive compounds with valuable nutraceutical properties, can be used as an ingredient to supplement food with functional compounds. Interest in the application of such compounds as natural antioxidants, antimicrobials or texturing agents in different food products is greater than ever. The addition of seaweeds or their extracts to food products will reduce the utilization of chemical preservatives, which will fulfill the industry as well as consumer demands for “green” products. In addition, the current status and the future projections in the functional effects of seaweeds as a means to improve the fiber content and reduce the salt content of food products, which will be of significant importance to the meat industry, is also discussed.     

Extrusion processing of raw food materials and by-products: A review

ABSTRACT

Extrusion technology has rapidly transformed the food industry with its numerous advantages over other processing methods. It offers a platform for processing different products from various food groups by modifying minor or major ingredients and processing conditions. Although cereals occupy a large portion of the extruded foods market, several other types of raw materials have been used. Extrusion processing of various food groups, including cereals and pseudo cereals, roots and tubers, pulses and oilseeds, fruits and vegetables, and animal products, as well as structural and nutritional changes in these food matrices are reviewed. Value addition by extrusion to food processing wastes and by-products from fruits and vegetables, dairy, meat and seafood, cereals and residues from starch, syrup and alcohol production, and oilseed processing are also discussed. Extrusion presents an economical technology for incorporating food processing residues and by-products back into the food stream. In contemporary scenarios, rising demand for extruded products with functional ingredients, attributed to evolving lifestyles and preferences, have led to innovations in the form, texture, color and content of extruded products. Information presented in this review would be of importance to processors and researchers as they seek to enhance nutritional quality and delivery of extruded products.     

小麦麸膳食纤维对猪肉肌原纤维蛋白凝胶功能特性的影响

为开发低脂肪多纤维的健康肉制品,明确膳食纤维添加对肉制品品质的影响,以猪肉肌原纤维蛋白为研究对象,利用单因素分析法研究肌原纤维蛋白热诱导凝胶性质及小麦麸膳食纤维对猪肉肌原纤维蛋白功能特性的影响。结果表明：肌原纤维蛋白变性聚集的温度范围是40～70 ℃;肌原纤维蛋白凝胶硬度和保水性随肌原纤维蛋白质量浓度增加而增大,当质量浓度到达70 mg/mL时,凝胶硬度和保水性趋于稳定;pH值为5.5时肌原纤维蛋白凝胶硬度达到最大,凝胶保水性在pH 7.0时趋于稳定;离子强度为0.6 mol/L时凝胶的硬度和保水性趋于稳定。随着小麦麸膳食纤维添加量的增加,肌原纤维蛋白乳化性有所升高但是不明显,当添加量为5%时,乳化性增加7.4%,肌原纤维蛋白乳化稳定性降低;蛋白的弹性模量增大;凝胶硬度和保水性提高,添加量为4%时变化趋于平缓。随着膳食纤维粒径的减小,肌原纤维蛋白凝胶硬度和保水性逐渐提高;微观结构更加致密;蛋白弹性模量降低。由此可见,膳食纤维能够明显改变肌原纤维蛋白功能特性,通过在肉制品中添加适量的膳食纤维可以明显改良肉制品的风味,并替代脂肪,减少人体热量的摄入。     

Encapsulation of probiotic living cells: From laboratory scale to industrial applications

In the recent past, there has been a rising interest in producing functional foods containing encapsulated probiotic bacteria. According to their perceived health benefits, probiotics have been incorporated into a range of dairy products but the major current challenge is to market new probiotic foods. In the research sector, many studies have been reported using dairy products like cheese, yogurt and ice cream as food carrier, and non-dairy products like meat, fruits, cereals, chocolate, etc. However, in the commercial sector only few products containing encapsulated probiotic cells can be found. Nutraceuticals are another important vector for probiotics already developed by several companies in a capsule or a tablet form. The review compiles the technologies used to encapsulate the cells in order to keep them alive and the food matrices used in the research and commercial sector for delivery to the consumer.     

Improving functional value of meat products

In recent years, much attention has been paid to develop meat and meat products with physiological functions to promote health conditions and prevent the risk of diseases. This review focuses on strategies to improve the functional value of meat and meat products. Value improvement can be realized by adding functional compounds including conjugated linoneleic acid, vitamin E, n3 fatty acids and selenium in animal diets to improve animal production, carcass composition and fresh meat quality. In addition, functional ingredients such as vegetable proteins, dietary fibers, herbs and spices, and lactic acid bacteria can be directly incorporated into meat products during processing to improve their functional value for consumers. Functional compounds, especially peptides, can also be generated from meat and meat products during processing such as fermentation, curing and aging, and enzymatic hydrolysis. This review further discusses the current status, consumer acceptance, and market for functional foods from the global viewpoints. Future prospects for functional meat and meat products are also discussed.
