Cell-cultured meat involves cultivating cells from live animals through self-renewal methods or scaffolding and presents a promising alternative to traditional meat production by generating nutritionally rich biomass. However, significant research is still needed to overcome challenges such as developing serum-free media, identifying suitable additives to support cell growth, and ensuring the quality of cell-cultured meat closely resembles that of traditional meat. Meat quality, which is influenced by various sensorial factors (color, texture, and taste), tenderness, and nutritional values, is determined by the level of intramuscular fat deposition, which significantly influences both meat yield and quality. This paper offers a concise overview of serum markers used to assess beef quality and yield and potential additives currently used in culture media for cell-cultured meat production. We also proposed the potential of using serum markers as additives in the culture media to enhance production of cell-cultured meat. Overall, this review highlights the significance of cell-cultured meat production as a viable solution to address the challenges posed by increasing food demands.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10939,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Food Science","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100943"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11696856/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is evidence that the cooking time of yellow beans is linked to the dietary fiber content and may also contribute to nutrient digestibility and bioavailability. Therefore, 52 fast-, moderate-, and slow-cooking yellow beans with diverse iron bioavailability from five market classes (Amarillo, Canario, Green-yellow, Manteca, and Mayocoba) were selected for total dietary fiber (TDF) analysis. TDF was measured as insoluble (IDF) + soluble (SDF) + oligosaccharides (OLIGO) using method AOAC2011.25. Wide variations in the concentrations of IDF (16.0–23.1%), SDF (1.6–7.7%), OLIGO (1.5–3.4%), and TDF (20.6–31.3%) were detected among the yellow beans with various cooking times. Lower concentrations of IDF in yellow beans were associated with shorter cooking times and higher iron bioavailability. The larger sized Andean yellow beans had more SDF than Middle American. One Mayocoba breeding line from Puerto Rico, PR1146-124, had 42% less OLIGOs than average, and may be useful for breeding low-flatulence beans for consumer acceptability. Fast cooking yellow beans provide the same SDF and OLIGO concentrations as yellow beans with longer cooking times but have the added benefit of shorter cooking times (convenience) and provide more bioavailable iron after cooking.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10939,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Food Science","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100942"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11681885/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142902675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oil was incorporated in the form of an emulsion, and for comparison also directly added without prior emulsification. For oil addition by emulsion, several plant-based protein sources were compared as emulsifier. The choice of protein emulsifier had a strong effect on wedge length of the extrudate, the maximum linear strain and value of G′ in shear, and the rupture strength of the extrudate. Two screw configurations were used. One with 1 kneading disc section and another with 4 kneading disc sections. It was found that fewer kneading discs in the screw led to less mechanical energy input, leading to less shear on the dough in the extruder. The use of fewer kneading elements resulted in less oil leakage from the product, while the product also was stronger, as demonstrated by the higher rupture strength in the texture analysis, and higher storage modulus G’ in oscillatory shear rheology. Less deformation of the air pockets between protein structures could be seen in the screw with fewer kneading discs in multiphoton microscopy. As a result, both the screw configuration and the interfacial properties of the plant protein emulsifier need to be considered when developing meat alternative products containing oil as a route to control the texture of these products.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10939,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Food Science","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100989"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143096302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that LGG@Se was superior to LGG and sodium selenite in alleviating ALI. Oral LGG@Se effectively prevented lipid metabolism disorders and liver oxidative damage in mice caused by excessive alcohol intake. 16S amplicon sequencing showed that LGG@Se intervention increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria and suppressed the growth of harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract of over-drinking mice, and thus effectively modulated the homeostasis of intestinal flora, which were highly correlated with the improvement of liver function. Liver metabolomics analysis indicated that LGG@Se intervention altered liver metabolic profiling, and the characteristic biomarkers were mainly involved in amino acid metabolism, including alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, <em>etc</em>. In addition, LGG@Se intervention modulated the expression of genes and proteins related to lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in liver of over-drinking mice. Western blot analysis revealed that LGG@Se intervention up-regulated the expression of intestinal barrier function-related proteins, thereby ameliorating alcohol-induced intestinal barrier damage.
