Abstract
Lipid molecules are an important component of meat and are the main source of flavor. However, at present the lipid molecules in meat with different muscle fiber types in cattle are not fully understood. We carried out lipid profiling of eight fast-type longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle and eight slow-type psoas major (PM) muscle samples from LYWC (Liaoyu white cattle). A total of 2032 lipid molecules were identified by our lipidomic analysis of these two muscle tissues, and 134 lipid species were identified as differentially abundant lipids (DALs). A correlation analysis showed the close relationship between the DALs identified in the LD and PM muscle. In addition, some DALs are closely associated with meat quality traits and muscle fiber types. This study identifies lipid molecules that differ between meats with different muscle fiber types and provides new insights into the role of lipids in beef quality improvement.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
