These changes in the gestational environment have been shown to influence fetal development and subsequent growth performance, carcass composition, and meat quality characteristics. Beef fetuses can be particularly prone to experiencing variations in the maternal environment during development due to a relatively long duration of pregnancy that can expose the dam to environmental temperature stress and seasonal conditions that compromise feed quality or quantity. If feed is limited or forage conditions are poor a maternal deficiency in protein and/or energy can occur as well as fluctuations in body condition of the dam. As a result, the fetus may receive inadequate levels of nutrients, potentially altering fetal development. There are critical windows of development during each stage of gestation in which various tissues, organs and metabolic systems may be impacted. Skeletal muscle and adipose tissue are particularly vulnerable to alterations in the gestational environment due to their low priority for nutrients relative to vital organs and systems during development. The timing and severity of the environmental event or stressor as well as the ability of the dam to buffer negative effects to the fetus will dictate the developmental response. Much of the current research is focused on the influence of specific nutrients and timing of nutritional treatments on offspring carcass composition and meat quality, with the goal of informing strategies that will ultimately allow for the use of maternal nutritional management as a tool to optimize performance and meat quality of offspring.","PeriodicalId":18316,"journal":{"name":"Meat and Muscle Biology","volume":"197 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75675186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its role in human nutrition and health is controversial and a plethora of data exist in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review of clinical and population-based studies to assess the effects of pork consumption on human nutrition and health. Results are reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews. Data were extracted from 86 studies, including 16 randomized controlled trials, 1 uncontrolled trial, 7 cohort studies, 4 nonrandomized controlled trials, 4 case-cohort and nested case-control studies, 33 case-control studies, and 21 cross-sectional studies. Intervention studies were conducted in healthy individuals and were short to moderate in duration. The effect of pork intake on patients’ nutrient status was the most commonly assessed outcome. The majority of observational studies assessed the effect of pork on cancer incidence, but no studies assessed the effects of pork on inflammation or oxidative stress. No interventional studies explored diabetes mellitus risk, and only one study assessed cancer risk associated with pork consumption. Several micronutrients in pork, including zinc, iron, selenium, choline, thiamin, and vitamins B6 and vitamin B12, are thought to influence cognitive function and may prove to be a unique area of research. To date, there is a dearth of high-quality randomized controlled trials assessing the effects of pork intake on disease risk factors and outcomes. This review helps highlight the many research gaps that future studies should be designed to address.","PeriodicalId":18316,"journal":{"name":"Meat and Muscle Biology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77105208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the use of tumbling withoutbrine on fresh beef muscles has not been fully examined. Therefore, this studyaimed to evaluate fresh beef tumbling on meat quality and proteolytic featuresof loin (longissimus lumborum)muscles. Moreover, interactions with the duration of postmortem aging wereinvestigated. Loins (n=9) at 7d postmortem were sectioned and allocated among twotumbling (T) treatment groups at 60 (T60) or 90 (T90) minutes, as well as a non-tumbledcontrol (T0) group. After treatment, sub-sections were made and divided among0d, 7d, or 14d of further aging. Meat quality was assessed by shear forcevalues, water-holding ability, and color attributes. The extent of proteolysiswas determined by quantification of desmin and troponin-T, myofibrilfragmentation index (MFI), and transmission electron microscopy. An interactionbetween fresh beef tumbling and aging duration was observed in shear forcevalues (P=0.032). At 0d, muscles fromT90 exhibited lower shear force (21.6 N) compared to T0 (34.8 N) and T60 (24.7N) groups. Muscles from T60 and T90 groups maintained lower shear force than T0controls at each respective aging duration.Higher cooking loss (P=0.011) but notpurge loss (P=0.412) was observed in theT60 and T90 groups compared to T0. Shear force results were supported by higherMFI in T60 and T90 groups than T0 controls (P<0.001), as well as the disappearance of intact troponin-T withfurther aging (P=0.009).

Fifteen different production lots (n = 15 / fat level) of 1.36 kg GB chubs of three different fat levels (10%, 20%, and 27%) were collected from retail markets in the Manhattan, KS area. Additionally, GBA products including a foodservice GBA (FGBA), a retail GBA (RGBA), and a traditional soy-protein based GBA (TGBA) currently available through commercial channels were collected. Consumers (n = 120) evaluated sample appearance, juiciness, tenderness, overall flavor liking, beef flavor liking, texture liking, and overall liking. Additionally, samples were evaluated for color, texture profile, shear force, pressed juiciness percentage (PJP), pH, and fat and moisture percentage. All three GB samples rated higher (P < 0.05) than the three GBA samples for appearance liking, overall flavor liking, beef flavor liking, and overall liking by consumers. Similar results were found with trained sensory panelists, which rated the GBA as less (P < 0.05) juicy, softer (P < 0.05), and lower (P < 0.05) for beef flavor and odor intensity and higher (P < 0.05) for off-flavor intensity than the GB. Moreover, the GBA had less (P < 0.05) change in shape through cooking and a lower (P < 0.05) percentage of cooking loss and cooking time than the GB. Also, the GBA all had lower (P < 0.05) shear force and PJP values than the GB. The color of the GBA differed (P < 0.05) from the GB, with the GB samples being more (P < 0.05) red in the raw state. These results indicate that the GBA provide different eating and quality experiences than GB and should thus be considered as different products by consumers and retailers.","PeriodicalId":18316,"journal":{"name":"Meat and Muscle Biology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83350542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Daily changes in subsurface myoglobin redox states were evaluated forseven days using NIR-DRS and compared with surface color assessed by HunterLab MiniScanspectrophotometer. Both measurements revealed that MetMb increased steadilyover the duration of display, showing a high correlation (R2 = 0.91)between the two methods. Comparatively, while NIR-DRS revealed the OxyMb tohave decreased steadily over the period of display, the HunterLab MiniScanspectrophotometer indicated a much later onset of the apparent decrease ofOxyMb than NIR-DRS reading, resulting in a moderate correlation (R2= 0.64) between the two methods.

Myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms, ATP, glycogen, glucose, glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), and lactate concentrations were determined. Procaspase-3, calpain-1, calpastatin, desmin, and troponin-T were assessed by immunodetection. Fixed effects of muscle (m), time postmortem (t) and the interaction (m × t) were investigated, and least square means were separated by Bonferroni test at 5% significance. Muscles showed contrasting MyHC profiles, with LL represented primarily by IIx and IIa isoforms (~ 88%) whereas Dia contained mostly (80%) type I isoform. Glycogen degradation was more pronounced in LL and coincided with more rapid accumulation of glucose and lactate (P < 0.01). Procaspase-3 content was influenced by muscle (m: P < 0.01), being greater in Dia. Fragments indicating activation of procaspase-3 postmortem were not detected. Calpain-1 autolysis and intact calpastatin (135 kDa) content were influenced by muscle and time (m × t: P < 0.01 and P < 0.01, respectively). Calpastatin fragmentation postmortem was not associated with greater procaspase-3 content.
