This study investigated the mechanism of glycerol, xylitol, and sorbitol-mediated curing of cured minced pork tenderloin. The use of polyhydroxy alcohol during mediated curing significantly reduced the salt content (p < 0.01) and water activity (aw) of the cured pork tenderloin. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LFNMR) revealed that 1 % glycerol, 1 % xylitol, 1 % sorbitol, and 10 % glycerol-mediated curing decreased water mobility, and improved water holding capacity (WHC), and produced uniform dense microstructures. Raman spectroscopy and molecular docking indicated that polyhydroxy alcohols formed hydrogen bonds with myosin, as well as hydrogen bonds with free water molecules to convert free water into bound water to reduce aw, and altered the hydrophobic environment of myosin surface to reduce structural damage caused by high salt content. In conclusion, using polyhydroxy alcohol to mediate curing can effectively reduce the salt content of cured meat and provide a theoretical basis for its application in the cured meat industry.

Different starch crystal structures significantly influence meat product quality, though their specific impacts on myofibrillar protein (MP) functionality remain unclear despite industry demand for optimized ingredients. This study compared how potato, corn, mung bean, and pea starches affect MP properties in minced pork. Our findings reveal that starch-protein interactions fundamentally regulate MP gel and emulsion properties through the following mechanisms: First, starch promotes protein aggregation by enhancing hydrophobic interactions and disulfide bond formation, affecting gel network crosslinking.

and are common foodborne pathogens of global concern, particularly due to their antimicrobial resistance, notably to cephalosporins. This study aimed to evaluate a polymerase chain reaction-based lateral flow strip (PCR-LFS) assay for the detection of spp. and harboring the gene, which confers resistance to third-generation cephalosporins.

This study explored a novel application of bacterial preparations, derived from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and acetic acid (AAB), to preserve ready-to-cook minced pork. Two LAB and AAB cell-free supernatant mixtures were evaluated as raw meat additives during nine refrigerated storage days. Both treatments effectively stabilized the meat's pH (final values around 5.

In the context of the circular economy, the valorization of bio-derived waste has become a priority across various production sectors, including food processing and packaging. Gelatin (Gel), a protein which can be recovered from meat industry byproducts, offers a sustainable solution in this regard. In this study, pork-derived gelatin was used to develop novel edible active packaging films, designed for meat products.
