Article Abstract

Dry-cured mackerel is favored by consumers for its suitable salty flavor. Herein, the dynamic changes of volatile compounds and lipids in the mackerel, and the lipidomics based on UPLC-Orbitrap/MS technique during dry-cured processing were investigated. The results showed that endogenous lipases activities in dry-cured mackerel decreased. The dry-cured processing of mackerel had significant effects on its lipid classes and content. The contents of Arachidonic acid (C20:4n6), docosapentaenoic acid (C22:5n3), linoleic acid (LA, C18:2n6), alpha-linolenic acid (C18:3n3), eicosatrienoic acid (C20:3n3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n3) increased during dry-cured processing. A total of 38 kinds of volatile compounds were detected in the dry-cured mackerel, 12 of which were derived from fatty acid oxidation. Among 30 lipid metabolites (FC ≥ 2 and VIP > 2), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE, 19:0/22:6) accounted for the highest content, and its difference between three stages was the most obvious. Glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid metabolisms were the most important metabolic pathways involved in dry-cured processing.

Bioactivities Derived from Dry-Cured Ham Peptides: A Review.

Antioxidants (Basel)

Dry-cured ham is a traditional food in the Mediterranean diet, which, in addition to its sensory qualities, is a natural source of bioactive peptides generated during the curing process through the action of endogenous enzymes on muscle and sarcoplasmic proteins. These low-molecular-weight peptides have attracted growing interest due to their multiple bioactivities, including antihypertensive, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory effects described in vitro, in vivo, and in preliminary human studies. The identification of specific sequences, such as AAPLAP, KPVAAP, and KAAAAP (ACE inhibitors), SNAAC and GKFNV (antioxidants), RHGYM (antimicrobial), and AEEEYPDL and LGVGG (dipeptidyl peptidase-IV and α-glucosidase inhibitors), has been possible thanks to the use of peptidomics techniques, tandem mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics tools that allow their activity to be characterized, their digestive stability to be predicted, and their bioavailability to be evaluated.

Dry-cured mutton ham is prone to quality deterioration during storage due to excessive lipid oxidation. Therefore, to control the ham quality, it is essential to comprehensively understand the lipid changes occurring in the storage. In this study, the variations and primary metabolic pathways of ham lipids during storage were investigated utilizing the lipid metabolomics.

Traditional meat products are highly valued all over the world and their attractiveness depends on socio-economical, ethical and religious factors as well as on their organoleptic properties that confer unique textural, gustatory, and olfactory characteristics. Taste compounds are closely related to protein degradation processes as hydrophilic metabolites such as amino acids, peptides and nucleotides are main contributors to final taste in traditional meat products. In this review, the generation of main compounds related to taste in traditional meat products are described, specially umami and koku peptides generated from the protein fraction during the traditional processing of these products.

Enhancing sodium chloride (NaCl) diffusion during curing is important for better production and flavor of dry-cured fish. In this study, the influence of argon (Ar) cold plasma (CP) pretreatment on NaCl diffusion in grass carp fillets during curing was investigated. Results showed that CP pretreatment, particularly at 6 min, significantly boosted the NaCl diffusion, leading to a 0.

This work aimed to explore the potential of a non-invasive approach, consisting of the use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) together with predictive microbiology, for dry-cured ham safety evaluation. The growth probability of Staphylococcus aureus in salt-reduced or not sliced dry-cured ham stored at room temperature and the effect of image preprocessing on this evaluation were analysed. To this end, predictive models for a were developed (RMSEP = 0.
