    Abstract Fresh beef steaks were treated with two concentrations of a methanol-acetone (MA) extract ( Streptococcus thermophilus -fermented skim milk) for color stability, pH change, and microbial growth at storage temperatures of 0 and 10°C. Beef color was measured by a color difference meter (Gardner) and a sensory panel. The Gardner "a/b" values for the untreated samples (control) were significantly higher (P<0.05) than values for treated samples (500 and 1000 ppm MA) through 9 d of storage (0°C). At 15 d of storage (0°C) there were no significant differences between treatments (P>0.05). The "a/b" values at 10°C indicated a significant difference (P<0.05) after 3 d of storage between untreated and treated samples. After 6 d of storage (10°C), no significant difference (P<0.05) was found between untreated and treated meat. Sensory panel scores indicated that both untreated and treated samples were of an acceptable quality through 9 d of storage (0°C); however, the untreated samples were of inferior color quality compared to treated (P< 0.05). All samples stored at 10°C deteriorated to an unacceptable color quality between 3 and 6 d. The growth of Pseudomonas fluorescens on beef steaks was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the untreated samples (by 1 to 2 log

    Abstract Effects of an inhibitory methanol-acetone (MA) extract of Streptococcus thermophilus -fermented milk was tested on growth of Salmonella enteritidis , two strains of Staphylococcus aureus (types A and E), two strains of Clostridium perfringens (types A and C) and Pseudomonas fluorescens . Each organism was tested at three levels of the extract, e.g., 250, 500 and 1000 ppm. Results indicated that the degree of sensitivity among the test organisms varied. C. perfringens (C) was the most sensitive, with a mean % inhibition (average % inhibition over the three MA extract concentrations) of 73.3, while S. enteritidis was the least sensitive (mean % inhibition = 51.8) to the extract. The differences between the mean % inhibition of P. fluorescens (65.4), S. aureus (A) (64.8), and C. perfringens (A) (62.2) were not significant (P>0.05); however, the sensitivity of these three organisms to the extract was significantly less (P<0.05) than C. perfringens (C) but significantly greater (P<0.05) than S. aureus (E) and S. enteritidis .

  3. Article ; Online: Recovery of Heat-stressed Spores of Bacillus stearothermophilus on Solid Media Containing Calcium- and Magnesium-deficient Agar.

    Abstract Recovery of heat-stressed (121.1°C) spores of Bacillus stearothermophilus (ATCC 12980) produced on solid sporulation agar media (Cook and Brown) and recovered on antibiotic assay medium + 0.1% soluble starch agar media appeared to be dependent on the concentration of two trace metals, calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), in the agar component of the nutrient growth medium. Results from the present investigation indicated that heat-stressed (121.1°C, 0-20 min) spores of B. stearothermophilus were not recovered on agar media containing commercial agar products from BBL, Bitek (Difco), and Oxoid; however, under similar experimental conditions, heat-stressed spores were recovered on solid agar media containing Bacto (Difco) or Acumedia agar products. Chemical analysis of the trace minerals content of all five agar products indicated that the Ca content (% dry weight) of BBL, Bitek, and Oxoid products was ≤0.01% of the dry weight; the Ca content of Bacto and Acumedia agars was 15- to 20-fold greater. Similarly, the Mg content varied considerably between agars. Bacto and Acumedia agar products contained 0.073 and 0.043% Mg, respectively; the Mg content of BBL, Bitek, and Oxoid products was 0.003, 0.006, and 0.0007%, respectively. The recovery potential of mineral-deficient agar media (Ca and Mg ≤0.01% of dry weight) was restored by increasing the Ca and Mg levels to those found in mineral sufficient agar media (≥0.2 and 0.06% Ca and Mg, respectively).

    Abstract Tenderness is the most critical eating quality trait of meat, and consequently, processing interventions for meat tenderisation have significant economic relevance. The objective of this study was to investigate pulsed electric field (PEF) conditions for the tenderisation of beef topside. The PEF settings included combinations of three field strengths (0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 kV/cm), two frequencies (20 and 100 Hz) and three treatment times (10, 30 and 50 ms). The effect of PEF on meat quality parameters (pH, drip loss, shear force, cook loss and colour) immediately after treatment and after storage (1 and 14 days at 4 °C) was evaluated. PEF did not affect meat tenderness after 1 day of chilled storage but resulted in a 5-10% reduction in the shear force in some cases (0.25-0.5 kV/cm) compared to the untreated control after 14 days of storage. Other quality traits (cook loss and colour) were not impaired. Thus, we concluded that PEF technology is a possible intervention to improve meat tenderness of beef topside after 2 weeks of storage.

    Abstract Meat quality can be affected by stress, exhaustion, feed composition, and other physical and environmental conditions. These stressors can alter the pH in postmortem muscle, leading to high pH and low-quality dark cutting (DC) beef, resulting in considerable economic loss. Moreover, the dark cutting prediction may equally provide a measure for animal welfare since it is directly related to animal stress. There are two needs to advance on-site detection of dark cutters: (1) a clear indication that biomarker (signature compounds) levels in cattle correlate with stress and DC outcome; and (2) measuring these biomarkers rapidly and accurately on-farm or the abattoir, depending on the objectives. This critical review assesses which small molecules and proteins have been identified as potential biomarkers of stress and dark cutting in cattle. We discuss the potential of promising small molecule biomarkers, including catecholamine/cortisol metabolites, lactate, succinate, inosine, glucose, and β-hydroxybutyrate, and we identify a clear research gap for proteomic biomarker discovery in live cattle. We also explore the potential of chemical-sensing and biosensing technologies, including direct electrochemical detection improved through nanotechnology (e.g., carbon and gold nanostructures), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics, and commercial hand-held devices for small molecule detection. No current strategy exists to rapidly detect predictive meat quality biomarkers due to the need to further validate biomarkers and the fact that different biosensor types are needed to optimally detect different molecules. Nonetheless, several biomarker/biosensor combinations reported herein show excellent potential to enable the measurement of DC potential in live cattle.
