Effects of menhaden oil and flaxseed in broiler diets on sensory quality and lipid composition of poultry meat.

1. Three hundred and thirty 1-d-old male broiler chicks from a commercial strain were allocated to 11 dietary treatments comprising combinations of flaxseed at 100 g/kg and menhaden oil (MO) at 7.5 or 15 g/kg. Birds were given the experimental diets 7 or 14 d prior to slaughter. Carcase omega-3 fatty acid profiles and sensory evaluations of different cooked meat portions were carried out. 2. Linolenic acid was preferentially deposited in dark meat and long chain omega-3 fatty acids in white meat. Breast meat sensory quality was not affected in birds given 100 g/kg flaxseed for 14 d (treatment 3), 7.5 g/kg MO for 14 d (treatment 5) or 100 g/kg flaxseed +0.75 g/kg MO for 7 d (treatment 6). In contrast, thigh meat sensory quality decreased in treatments 5 and 6. 3. Feeding flaxseed and MO to birds for just 7 d prior to slaughter resulted in significant omega-3 meat enrichment depending on their dietary concentrations. The linolenic acid and long chain omega-3 fatty acids showed preferential deposition in dark and white meat, respectively, which may affect the sensory quality of various portions differently.

Does low meat consumption increase life expectancy in humans?

BACKGROUND: Since meat products represent a major source of protein in the Western diet, findings on whether meat intake significantly contributes to the burden of fatal disease have important clinical and public health implications. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to examine whether a very low meat intake (less than weekly) contributes to greater longevity. DESIGN: We reviewed data from 6 prospective cohort studies and report new findings on the life expectancy of long-term vegetarians from the Adventist Health Study. RESULTS: Our review of the 6 studies found the following trends: 1) a very low meat intake was associated with a significant decrease in risk of death in 4 studies, a nonsignificant decrease in risk of death in the fifth study, and virtually no association in the sixth study; 2) 2 of the studies in which a low meat intake significantly decreased mortality risk also indicated that a longer duration (>/= 2 decades) of adherence to this diet contributed to a significant decrease in mortality risk and a significant 3.6-y (95% CI: 1.4, 5.8 y) increase in life expectancy; and 3) the protective effect of a very low meat intake seems to attenuate after the ninth decade. Some of the variation in the survival advantage in vegetarians may have been due to marked differences between studies in adjustment for confounders, the definition of vegetarian, measurement error, age distribution, the healthy volunteer effect, and intake of specific plant foods by the vegetarians. CONCLUSION: Current prospective cohort data from adults in North America and Europe raise the possibility that a lifestyle pattern that includes a very low meat intake is associated with greater longevity.

Protein utilization of mechanically deboned meat by growing rats.

The protein quality of mechanically deboned red meat was investigated using amino acid analysis, protein efficiency ratio and the slope ratio technique. Nine different meat products were studied utilizing Sprague-Dawley weanling albino rats. Protein quality of the mechanically deboned meat varied greatly with the amount of lean left on the bones prior to mechanical deboning. Deboned meat which contained more lean, and less collagen, was superior in protein quality to the deboned meat obtained from bones which contained less lean and more collagen. Total sulfur amino acids (cystine and methionine) and isoleucine were the most limiting amino acids in all nine of the meat products when compared with lactalbumin. The contents of total sulfur amino acids and isoleucine, as well as the ratio of essential amino acids to total amino acids, reflected the protein quality of the meat.

Effect of atmospheric oxidation on bioavailability of meat iron and liver weights in rats.

Iron bioavailability of diets containing oxidized turkey and oxidized beef meat was investigated in two experiments. Lyophilized, uncooked turkey meat and beef meat were allowed to oxidize at room temperature. In experiment 1, rats were made anemic and fed diets containing uncooked lyophilized turkey meat which had been exposed to air for 0, 48, 96, 144, 216 or 264 hours. In experiment 2, anemic rats were fed diets composed of basal, basal + iron, basal + iron + formaldehyde, 100% fresh beef, 75% fresh-25% oxidized beef, 50% fresh-50% oxidized beef, 25% fresh-75% oxidized beef, 100% oxidized beef and 100% fresh beef + formaldehyde. The diets were prepared so that meat was the only source of iron. Hemoglobin regeneration served as the basis for measuring iron utilization. The length of oxidation time of the turkey meat did not significantly affect the growth of the rats or the bioavailability of the meat iron. Rats fed severely oxidized beef diets had decreased body weight, enlarged livers and depressed hematinic responses. Formaldehyde did not significantly affect iron utilization in rats fed basal diets, but depressed liver iron storage in rats fed fresh beef.

Increasing the cooking temperature of meat does not affect nonheme iron absorption from a phytate-rich meal in women.

The effect of increasing cooking temperatures of meat on nonheme iron absorption from a composite meal was investigated. Cysteine-containing peptides may have a role in the iron absorption enhancing effect of muscle proteins. Heat treatment can change the content of sulfhydryl groups produced from cysteine and thereby affect iron absorption. Twenty-one women (25 +/- 3 y) were served a basic meal without meat and two other meals consisting of the basic meal plus 75 g of pork meat cooked at 70, 95 or 120 degrees C. The meals were extrinsically labeled with (55)Fe or (59)Fe. Iron absorption was determined from measurements of whole-body (59)Fe retention and the activity of (55)Fe and (59)Fe in blood samples. Nonheme iron absorptions were 0.9 (0.5-4.0)% (P = 0.06), 0.7 (0.4-3.9)% (P = 0.1) and 2.0 (1.3-3.1)% (P < 0.001) greater when meat cooked at 70, 95 or 120 degrees C, respectively, was added to the basic meal. Increasing the cooking temperature of meat did not impair nonheme iron absorption compared with cooking at 70 degrees C. Because the cysteine content of meat decreased with increasing cooking temperature, this argues against a specific contribution of sulfhydryl groups from cysteine residues in the promotion of nonheme iron absorption by meat proteins.

Meat and soy protein affect calcium homeostasis in healthy women.

We showed that increasing dietary protein from omnivorous sources increases intestinal calcium absorption and urinary calcium, whereas a low-protein diet decreases calcium absorption and lowers urinary calcium. To assess the effect of soy protein on this relation, we substituted soy for meat in high- and low-protein diets fed to healthy women. The study consisted of a 2-wk adjustment period followed by a 4-d experimental period in which 20 healthy women consumed, in random order, the following 4 diets: high-protein soy-based, low-protein soy-based, high-protein meat-based, low-protein meat-based. Measures of calcium homeostasis were evaluated at baseline and after 4 d of the experimental period. At 24 h, net acid excretion was higher during the high- compared with the low-protein intervention (P < 0.05), and during the meat compared with the soy intervention (P < 0.05). The high-protein diets increased 24-h urinary calcium (P < 0.001), but urinary calcium did not differ due to the type of protein. Serum concentrations of parathyroid hormone and calcitriol, and urinary nephrogenous cAMP were higher during the low- compared with the high-protein intervention and during the soy compared with the meat protein (P < 0.05). In a subset of subjects, intestinal calcium absorption tended to be lower (P = 0.1) when they consumed the soy diets rather than the meat diets. These data indicate that when soy protein is substituted for meat protein, there is an acute decline in dietary calcium bioavailability.

Meat quality during processing.

The study of growth and development of any food animal such as poultry needs to consider the effects of the muscle changes on the use of the muscle as meat. If a treatment could increase muscle growth but the increased meat was of poor quality, then the increase in production would be of little value. Muscle is of particular concern because not only is it the tissue of greatest value for food, but it also is an excitable tissue and responsive to its environment. Many of these responses can be quite deleterious to meat quality. The basis for the response of muscle to its environment is in postmortem metabolism and the simultaneous development of rigor mortis. Although the animal may die in a matter of minutes following the neck cut, its muscle cells continue to metabolize and respond for hours after respiratory cessation and brain death. During these hours, the muscle has energy that fuels the responses to the environment, most commonly in terms of color and texture. Heat, transportation, and handling all contribute to the preslaughter stress that can alter color, texture, and related protein functionality. Stunning is another preslaughter factor that has a large effect on postmortem metabolism and meat quality. After death, chilling can toughen meat while it adds juiciness, and aging prevents the meat from toughening in response to deboning. Electrical stimulation is a recent beneficial innovation that reduces the need for aging by accelerating postmortem energy depletion and reducing the muscle's ability to toughen during deboning. This paper reviews the responsiveness of the muscle and gives examples of how these responses can hurt or help meat quality.

The characterization and incidence of pale, soft, exudative turkey meat in a commercial plant.

Pale, soft, exudative (PSE) turkey meat is a growing problem for industry and has been associated with rapid postmortem pH decline and loss of protein functionality, similar to PSE pork. This study was designed to estimate the incidence of PSE meat in a commercial plant and use response surface methodology to characterize the relationship between pH, lightness (L* value), and water-holding capacity (WHC). One hundred thirty-four turkey breast fillets were selected from the processing line so that 67 had normal color (lightness), and the other 67 were more pale than normal. Fillets were analyzed at time of deboning (1.5 h postmortem) and at 24 h postmortem for color (L* value), pH, drip loss, expressible moisture, and temperature. Additionally, L* values were measured on 2,995 turkey breasts from the processing line to determine the commercial incidence of PSE meat based on color. The pale fillets had significantly lower pH, greater L* value, and less WHC but equal temperature when compared with the fillets with normal color. The L* value and pH were correlated with WHC as measured by expressible moisture, but L* value seems to have more predictive value. By using the L* value range (>53) from the pale-selected fillets as an indication of paleness, approximately 40% of the 2,995 fillets would exhibit poor WHC. These results suggest that PSE meat can represent a significant portion of commercially processed turkey breast meat and that the L* value measurement could be used to sort turkey meat so that PSE type meat could be used in specialized formulations.

Effect of deboning time, muscle tensioning, and calcium chloride marination on texture characteristics of chicken breast meat.

Tenderness is the most important organoleptic characteristic of meat, and various methods have been developed to improve it. The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of different conditioning treatments of broiler carcasses on pH, cooking losses, shear values, R-values, and sensory tenderness of breast meat. All measurements were collected for breast muscle as follows: after 24 h of carcass aging (T1); after 24 h of carcass aging with muscle tensioning (T2); after 24 h of carcass aging with muscle tensioning, followed by muscle collection and marination in CaCl2 (T3); after hot-boning 15 min following slaughter (T4); after hot-boning 15 min following slaughter and marination in CaCl2 (T5). pH values in meat treated with CaCl2 were significantly lower than those in untreated meat from the aged carcass group (T3) or the hot-boning group (T5). Breasts from carcasses aged for 24 h (T1, T2, and T3) showed lower cooking loss than breasts harvested immediately after slaughter (T4 and T5). CaCl2 marination produced meats with cooking losses significantly higher than those observed for untreated meats. Regardless of muscle tensioning or marination treatments, aging of the carcass for 24 h (T1, T2, and T3) produced meats with lower shear values than those from hot-boned carcasses (T4 and T5). Hot-boned breasts treated with CaCl2 (T5) were judged less tender by panelists than breasts aged under muscle tensioning (T2 and T3).

Chia seed (Salvia hispanica L.) as an omega-3 fatty acid source for broilers: influence on fatty acid composition, cholesterol and fat content of white and dark meats, growth performance, and sensory characteristics.

Five thousand four hundred, 1-d-old, male, Ross 308, broiler chicks were fed for 49 d to compare diets containing 10 and 20% chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed to a control diet. Cholesterol content, total fat content, and fatty acid composition of white and dark meats were determined at the end of the trial. A taste panel assessed meat flavor and preference. Cholesterol content was not significantly different among treatments; however, the 10% chia diet produced a lower fat content in the dark meat than did the control diet. Palmitic fatty acid content was less in both meat types when chia was fed, with differences being significant (P < 0.05), except for the white meat and the 20% chia diet. alpha-Linolenic fatty acid was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the white and dark meats with the chia diets. Chia significantly lowered the saturated fatty acid content as well as the saturated:polyunsaturated fatty acid and omega-6:omega-3 ratios of the white and dark meats compared to the control diet. No significant differences in flavor or preference ratings were detected among diets. Body weight and feed conversion were significantly lower with the chia diets than with the control, with weight reductions up to 6.2% recorded with the 20% chia diet.

Effect of dietary fat sources and zinc and selenium supplements on the composition and consumer acceptability of chicken meat.

A factorial design was used to study the effect of changes in broiler feed on the composition and consumer acceptability of chicken meat. One week before slaughter, 1.25% dietary fish oil was removed from the feed and replaced by other fat sources (animal fat or linseed oil) or we continued with fish oil, and diets were supplemented with Zn (0, 300, or 600 mg/kg), and Se (0 or 1.2 mg/kg as sodium selenite or 0.2 mg/kg as Se-enriched yeast). The changes in dietary fat led to distinct fatty acid compositions of mixed raw dark and white chicken meat with skin. The fish oil diet produced meat with the highest eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) content, whereas the linseed oil diet led to meat with the highest content in total n-3 polyunsaturated acids (PUFA), especially linolenic acid. However, meat from animals on the animal fat diet was still rich in very long-chain n-3 PUFA. Se content was affected by Se and Zn supplements. Se content increased with Zn supplementation. However, only Se from the organic source led to a significant increase in this mineral in meat compared with the control. Consumer acceptability scores and TBA values of cooked dark chicken meat after 74 d or after 18 mo of frozen storage were not affected by any of the dietary factors studied.

The influence of genotype, market live weight, transportation, and holding conditions prior to slaughter on broiler breast meat color.

A study was conducted to determine the influence of genotype, market live weight, transportation time, holding time, and temperature on broiler breast fillet color under commercial processing in Italy. Color was evaluated using a Minolta Chroma Meter (Minolta Chroma Meter CR-300, Minolta Italia S.p.A., Milano, Italy) on a total of 6,997 broiler breast fillets (Pectoralis major muscle) from 79 different flocks chosen at random during a 6-mo period. The flocks were represented by Ross 508 and Cobb 500 genotypes of both genders, processed at different ages, and subjected to different antemortem conditions during transport and holding. Ross 508 broilers exhibited a lower hue angle (H*) than did Cobb 500 (45.12 vs. 48.52; P < 0.01). With regard to the market live weight of broilers, the heavier birds (>3.3 kg) produced a darker breast meat (L* = 51.67) than did the lighter birds (<3.0 and 3.0 to 3.3 kg; L* = 52.63 and 52.84, respectively) (P < 0.001). The breast fillets from birds transported for the shortest distance (<40 km) exhibited a higher (P < 0.01) breast meat redness (a*; 3.59) when compared with transport distances of 40 to 210 or >210 km (a* = 3.28 and 3.04, respectively). The shortest holding time (<6 h) produced the highest (P < 0.05) L* values (52.84) compared with holding periods of 6 to 9 h and >9 h (L* = 52.12 and 52.04, respectively). Furthermore, an increase of both meat a* and saturation (C*) was observed with the advance in holding time. The holding temperature significantly affected the meat color. Breast fillets from birds held at <12 degrees C was darker (L* = 51.32) than fillets from birds held at 12 to 18 degrees C (L* = 52.85) or >18 degrees C (L* = 53.11) (P < 0.001). Moreover, the increase in holding temperature (<12 degrees C vs. 12 to 18 degrees C vs. >18 degrees C) also determined a lower breast meat a* (3.77 vs. 3.12 vs. 2.72, respectively; P < 0.001), b* (3.72 vs. 3.41 vs. 3.37, respectively; P < 0.05), C*, and H*. In conclusion, the holding time and temperature exerted the most important effect on broiler breast meat color. However, other factors, such as genotype, live weight, and transportation, may influence breast meat color.

Growth depth effects of bacteria in ground turkey meat patties subjected to high carbon dioxide or high oxygen atmospheres.

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is used to extend the shelf life of ground meats by altering the gas atmosphere surrounding the meat. This study evaluated how deep MAP bactericidal effects penetrate into a ground meat patty. Patties made from freshly ground turkey breasts were subjected to 2 MAP treatments of high CO(2) (97%) or high O(2) (80% O(2), 20% CO(2)). Total plate and lactic acid bacterial counts were determined for 3 patty depths (top, middle, bottom). Meat surface color and the package gas headspace composition were also measured. All analyses were performed on 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 d. Changes in gas headspace and meat surface color were also measured at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 d. High CO(2) atmosphere maintained a better meat surface color than high O(2) atmosphere over the whole storage period. Overall counts were lower (P < or = 0.05) in a high-CO(2) atmosphere compared with a high-O(2) modified atmosphere. Patties stored under a high-CO(2) atmosphere displayed slower bacterial growth in the top layer compared with the middle and bottom layers. Total plate count did not differ (P > or = 0.05) in layers for patties pack-aged in a high-O(2) atmosphere Lactic acid bacterial counts increased in the high-O(2) modified atmosphere by d 9 and 12 of storage; no increase was observed in CO(2)-packaged patties. Thus, high-CO(2) MAP slowed the growth of total bacteria as well as lactic acid bacteria. Also, there was slower growth in the top meat layer exposed to CO(2) compared with interior layers.

Meat intake and iron status in late infancy: an intervention study.

BACKGROUND: Highly bioavailable dietary iron is needed to ensure optimal iron status in infants during weaning. The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of increased meat intake on hemoglobin concentration (Hb), serum ferritin (SF), and serum transferrin receptors (TfR) in late infancy. METHODS: Forty-one healthy, term, partially breast-fed 8-month-old infants were randomized into two groups: a low-meat group (LMG), in which infants received a diet with a mean meat content of 10 g/day and a high-meat group (HMG), in which infants received a diet with a mean meat content of 27 g/day. The intervention lasted for 2 months, and blood samples were drawn on the first and the last days of the intervention. RESULTS: At the beginning of the intervention, no significant differences were found in Hb, SF, TfR values between the two groups. After the intervention, there was a significant (p = 0.008) difference in the change in hemoglobin (delta Hb) concentration. In the LMG delta Hb was -4.9 g/l (range, -12.9-5.6 g/l) and in the HMG -0.6 g/l (range, -12.1-7.3 g/l). There was no significant difference in change in SF or TfR concentrations between the LMG and the HMG. The intake of iron from meat (mean; range) was significantly higher (p = 0.0001) in the HMG (0.4 mg/day; 0.02-0.7 mg/day) than in the LMG (0.1 mg/day; 0.03-0.5 mg/day). However, there was no significant difference in total iron intake between the HMG (3.1 mg/day; 0.4-6.2 mg/day) and the LMG (3.4 mg/day; 1.4-6.1 mg/day). CONCLUSION: The results suggest that an increase in meat intake can prevent a decrease in Hb in late infancy, probably by enhancing iron absorption. However, there was no effect on iron stores or on cellular iron deficiency, evaluated by SF and TfR levels, respectively.

Comparison of skeletal muscle characteristics in chicken bred for meat or egg production. I. Histopathological and electron microscopic examination.

A comparative histopathological and electron microscopic study based on selected skeletal muscle in layer-type and meat-type chickens was carried out to detect possible effects of selection for rapid growth and increased muscularity on muscle health. Disseminated fibre degeneration and other myopathological changes occurred more frequently in muscles of meat-type chickens than in layer-type chickens of the same age. The breast region of meat-type chickens--highly developed as a breeding aim--was particularly affected. Experimental exertion demonstrated the limited adaptability of skeletal muscle to psychomotor stress in meat-type chickens. Meat-type chickens showed a higher increase of histopathological muscular lesions after repeated wing exercise than layer-type chickens. Ultrastructural lesions caused by experimental exertion were classified as adaptive-reversible in layer-type chickens. As opposed to this, irreversible destruction of myofibrillar architecture in meat-type chickens are an indication for muscle ischaemia after exertion. Significant changes of structural, metabolic and functional parameters of skeletal muscle related to breeding aims in meat type chickens contribute to finding an explanation for their increased susceptibility to pathological reactions.

Differentiation of meat according to species by the electrophoretic separation of muscle lactate dehydrogenase and esterase isoenzymes and isoelectric focusing of soluble muscle proteins.

Species identification of fresh meat can be readily achieved by serological techniques with the limitation that closely related species, such as sheep/goat, cattle/buffalo and horse/donkey, cannot be differentiated. We have examined electrophoretic techniques with particular reference to the identification of meat from closely related species. The results showed that beef and buffalo meat and meat from red and grey kangaroos could be clearly distinguished by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel or agarose in the pH range 5.5 to 8.5. Sheep and goat meat, and horse and donkey meat could not be differentiated by this technique, but were clearly distinguished from each other by their esterase isoenzyme profiles obtained after electrophoretic separation on cellulosic membrane strips. Results from this latter technique were available in one hour. We believe that species identification of fresh meat should involve an initial screening test by serological techniques followed by confirmation of the identity of suspect samples by electrophoretic techniques.

Development of a microbial model for the combined effect of temperature and pH on spoilage of ground meat, and validation of the model under dynamic temperature conditions.

The changes in microbial flora and sensory characteristics of fresh ground meat (beef and pork) with pH values ranging from 5.34 to 6.13 were monitored at different isothermal storage temperatures (0 to 20 degrees C) under aerobic conditions. At all conditions tested, pseudomonads were the predominant bacteria, followed by Brochothrix thermosphacta, while the other members of the microbial association (e.g., lactic acid bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae) remained at lower levels. The results from microbiological and sensory analysis showed that changes in pseudomonad populations followed closely sensory changes during storage and could be used as a good index for spoilage of aerobically stored ground meat. The kinetic parameters (maximum specific growth rate [mu(max)] and the duration of lag phase [lambda]) of the spoilage bacteria were modeled by using a modified Arrhenius equation for the combined effect of temperature and pH. Meat pH affected growth of all spoilage bacteria except that of lactic acid bacteria. The "adaptation work," characterized by the product of mu(max) and lambda(mu(max) x lambda) was found to be unaffected by temperature for all tested bacteria but was affected by pH for pseudomonads and B. thermosphacta. For the latter bacteria, a negative linear correlation between ln(mu(max) x lambda) and meat pH was observed. The developed models were further validated under dynamic temperature conditions using different fluctuating temperatures. Graphical comparison between predicted and observed growth and the examination of the relative errors of predictions showed that the model predicted satisfactorily growth under dynamic conditions. Predicted shelf life based on pseudomonads growth was slightly shorter than shelf life observed by sensory analysis with a mean difference of 13.1%. The present study provides a "ready-to-use," well-validated model for predicting spoilage of aerobically stored ground meat. The use of the model by the meat industry can lead to effective management systems for the optimization of meat quality.

Effective lipid lowering diets including lean meat.

The plasma lipid and lipoprotein responses to two modified isoenergetic diets including meat were studied in 15 free living men with hyperlipidaemia (mean plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations 8.1 and 3.4 mmol/l). A reference diet (diet A, 42% energy from fat, ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids (P:S ratio) 0.2) was compared with a fat reduced diet (diet B, 35% energy from fat, P:S ratio 0.5) and with a further fat modified diet supplemented with fibre (diet C, 27% energy from fat, P:S ratio 1.0). Daily intake of meat and meat products (180 g/day) was the same in each dietary period; that in diet A had a fat content typical of the average British diet, whereas that in diets B and C was based on very lean meat and meat products. During consumption of diet B the plasma cholesterol concentration fell by 8.6% and low density lipoprotein cholesterol by 11%. During consumption of diet C plasma cholesterol fell by 18.5% and low density lipoprotein cholesterol by 23.8%. Triglyceride and high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations and body weight did not change appreciably during the study. A modified diet including a moderate amount of lean meat and meat products is compatible with a reduced lipoprotein mediated risk of atherosclerotic heart disease.
