The results indicate that it is possible to induce favorable changes in the fatty acid profile and cholesterol content using a zeranol implantation strategy on hair lambs.
To compare beef from Northwestern Mexico (NMEX) and that imported from the United States in physical-chemical (PC) and sensory traits, samples of ribeye (m. Longissimus dorsi thoracis, LDT) and knuckle (m. Vastus lateralis, VL) of Mexican (64 LDT; 51 VL) and U.S. (28 LDT; 25 VL) origin were purchased randomly from select retail stores located in 3 cities of NMEX. PC evaluation measured contents of moisture, fat and cholesterol, Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF), pH, CIE L*, a*, and b*, cooking loss, and normalized fatty acid profile (FAP). Trained panelists evaluated raw and cooked samples for 2 and 6 different organoleptic traits, respectively. Mexican and U.S.-imported LDT steaks did not differ (P>0.05) in PC traits. VL samples differed in L*, b*, hue*, WBSF, and fat content by country of origin (COO). The WBSF for cooked VL samples from the United States was lower (P < 0.05) and fat content was greater (P<0.05) than those for NMEX steaks. The FAP varied between muscles; Mexican LDT had a higher content of C18:0, while VL from the United States had a higher proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and a higher PUFA/Saturated ratio (P<0.05). Although sensory traits tended to be rated higher for Mexican LDT and VL steaks, no statistical differences with U.S.-imported samples were detected (P > 0.05). Results indicated that domestic and U.S. retail steaks sold in the NMEX are similar in eating quality and PC, whereas differences observed in FAP deserve further attention from a nutritional standpoint.
Se estudiaron los efectos de harina de linaza (HL), pulpa de mango (PM) y ciruela deshidratada (CD) sobre la calidad fisicoquímica y sensorial de hamburguesas res, y se optimizó su incorporación para crear un producto con mejor perfil nutricional sin demérito en su calidad, usando para ello un diseño de mezclas. Se evaluó el color instrumental (L*, a*, b*), pH, rendimiento de cocción (RC), reducción de diámetro (RD) y análisis de perfil de textura (APT). Además, se evaluaron las propiedades sensoriales de sabor, textura y jugosidad. La adición de HL y PM aumentó el color (p < 0.05), mientras que la CD lo disminuyó. El pH disminuyó por la adición de PM o CD, y el RC aumentó por la adición de HL y CD. La incorporación de PM o CD incrementó el APT, mientras que la HL tuvo un efecto contrario. La incorporación de PM y CD aumentaron los atributos sensoriales. La fórmula óptima desarrollada incluyó 6 % HL, 10.5 % PM y 3.5 % CD, y tuvo mayor contenido de ácidos grasos polinsaturados, principalmente omega-3. Las hamburguesas de res adicionadas con HL, PM y CD puede ser una alternativa de alimentación para aquellos consumidores preocupados por su salud.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
