RESUMO
The lipid and volatile profiles of goat primal cuts (shoulder, rib, loin, breast, and leg), as well as their potential impact on nutritional and flavor/taste attributes, were investigated. The breast cuts had the lowest protein but the highest fat content. Triacylglycerol was the predominant lipid in all cuts (82.22-88.01%), while the breast cuts had the lowest triacylglycerol and the highest diacylglycerol and free fatty acids. Also, the highest unsaturated fatty acid (UFA), both monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), was obtained in the breast cuts. These findings correlated well with the highest peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value. The volatile profiles of the various grilled cuts indicated that the breast and leg cuts had similar volatiles, with higher amounts of alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, and ester than others, which could explain the flavor oxidation by lipid and off-flavors in spoiled meat. While the shoulder, rib, and loin cuts had higher amounts of nitrogen-containing compounds. The highest sulfur-containing and hydrocarbon compounds were also observed in the shoulder cuts, which are mainly formed during the Maillard reaction and responsible for the cooked meat flavor. This investigation revealed that each cut of goat meat has a varied composition, especially in lipids and volatile compounds. Thus, meat quality differs in terms of nutritional aspects and flavor/taste characteristics, enabling consumers to select nutritious or proper cuts for their cooking to achieve the most satisfaction from goat meat consumption.
RESUMO
Korat chicken (KC) is a slow-growing crossbreed renowned for its excellent growth and firm texture. This study investigated the effect of various sous-vide (SV) conditions (60 and 70°C, 1-3 h) on their texture, protein structure and degradation, as well as consumer acceptability, with the traditional boiling served as control. Texture showed significant improvement under all SV conditions compared to the control, as demonstrated by increased water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss, and decreased shear force, hardness, and chewiness (P < 0.05). These changes corresponded to the higher sensory scores (P < 0.05). Among the SV samples, increased temperatures and longer cooking times led to higher degradation of myofibrils and connective tissue, as evidenced by a decrease in water-, salt-soluble proteins, and soluble collagen (P < 0.05). These findings aligned with the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results, which showed a looser muscle structure in the meat under more intense cooking conditions. Based on synchrotron radiation-based Fourier transform infrared (SR-FTIR) results, a gradual increase in antiparallel forms within the amide I bands (1,700-1,600 cm-1) of the total spectra with higher temperature and longer cooking times was observed (P < 0.05), while the fluctuations were observed in the changes of α-helix, ß-sheet, and ß-turn structures. This suggested that the antiparallel structure represented a looser configuration developing during intense SV cooking. Combined with the principal component analysis (PCA) results, the findings indicated that the suitable SV condition for KC breast meat was 70°C for varying durations (1-3 h), as it showed the strongest correlation with sensory scores, particularly in terms of tenderness. In summary, these findings provided a better understanding of molecular changes and discovered SV conditions to enhance the texture quality of the KC meat.

Physicochemical and in vitro protein digestibility of alginate/calcium (AC) restructured pork steak hydrolyzed with bromelain with addition of LA gellan, LM pectin and κ-carrageenan at various concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2% w/w) was evaluated for masticatory dysfunction people. The AC samples with κ-carrageenan showed the lowest cooking losses and highest water holding capacity (WHC). Moreover, addition of κ-carrageenan showed the highest Kramer shear force (KSF) and higher hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, chewiness, and gumminess, but the adhesiveness value was lower than those of the other treatments. According to SEM, the gel network of AC samples with κ-carrageenan was more clearly than those with the other treatments. FTIR demonstrated that the addition of polysaccharides to AC sample enhanced the hydrogen bonds in the gel system. For in vitro protein digestibility results, addition of 0.5% (w/w) LA gellan and κ-carrageenan samples showed the highest pepsin (73-74%) and trypsin (79-80%) digestibility.

Enzymatic tenderisation including bromelain enhances underused cuts of meat in emerged restructuring technology. Physicochemical and textural characteristics of restructured pork steak hydrolysed with bromelain for masticatory dysfunction people were evaluated. Restructured pork steak treated with bromelain at 0.05 and 0.1% (w/w) was hydrolysed at 50 °C for 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 min. The cooking losses of 0.05% (w/w) bromelain for 0, 3 and 6 min were lower than 0.1% (w/w) bromelain samples. The ΔE increased after increasing the enzyme concentration and hydrolysis time. Bromelain-treated samples at higher concentrations showed lower WBSF, KSF and TPA parameters, but cohesiveness of 0.05% (w/w) had higher than 0.1% (w/w) bromelain samples. Total protein, sarcoplasmic protein solubility, TCA-soluble peptide, total collagen and soluble collagen contents were the highest in 0.1% (w/w) bromelain-treated samples for 12 min (P < 0.05). According to SDS-PAGE and SEM, various proteins in the enzyme-treated samples were degraded.
