Amino acids are an essential source of human protein, and their content and composition are the main factors determining food protein utilization rate. Determining amino acids is essential in the component analysis of food. Therefore, a groundbreaking technique was developed utilizing ultra-high performance liquid chromatography interfaced with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (UHPLC-QQQ-MS/MS) for concurrently quantifying 18 amino acids across various types of meat. According to the test results, it can be known that the average content of glutamate (2.03 × 104 ± 3.94 × 103 μg/g in pig feet) was the highest in all meat samples, and the content of aspartate (0.0945 ± 0.0950 μg/g in pork) was the lowest, which was not detected in some samples such as beef and lean meat. Orthogonal partial least-squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) showed: (1) 13 amino acids (arginine, valine, serine, alanine, lysine, glycine, asparagine, methionine, proline, threonine, glutamate, phenylalanine, and leucine, VIP > 1) were used as characteristic amino acids between pork and pig feet; (2) serine, threonine, alanine, histidine, asparagine, and arginine (VIP > 1) were used as signature amino acids in different components of pork (lean meat, fat, and pigskin); (3) asparagine, glutamate, histidine, tyrosine, and valine (VIP > 1) were considered as signature amino acids in different types of meats (pork, mutton, beef, and chicken). This study provides a new UHPLC-QQQ-MS/MS method for the determination of amino acid content in meat and also provides data support for the comprehensive evaluation of the nutritional value of foods containing amino acids.

This study was conducted to analyze the viability of primary chicken embryo fibroblasts and the efficiency of adipogenic trans-differentiation for cultured meat production. In isolating chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) from a heterogeneous cell pool containing chicken satellite cells (CSCs), over 90% of CEFs expressed CD29 and vimentin. The analysis of the proliferative capabilities of CEFs revealed no significant differences in EdU-positive cells (%), cumulative cell number, doubling time, and growth rate from passage 1 to passage 9 (p > 0.05). This indicates that CEFs can be isolated by 2 h of pre-plating and survive stably up to passage 9, and that primary fibroblasts can serve as a valuable cell source for the cultured meat industry. Adipogenic trans-differentiation was induced up to passage 9 of CEFs. As passages increased, lipid accumulation and adipocyte size significantly decreased (p < 0.05). The reduced differentiation rate of primary CEFs with increasing passages poses a major challenge to the cost and efficiency of cultured meat production. Thus, effective cell management and the maintenance of cellular characteristics for a long time are crucial for ensuring stable and efficient cultured fat production in the cultured meat industry.
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.
