Article Abstract

The impacts of Staphylococcus cohnii, S. saprophyticus and their synergistic Lactobacillus plantarum on the quality and flavor of Chinese bacon were investigated by monitoring the physicochemical characteristics and characterizing metabolites with non-targeted metabolomics. Results showed that S. cohnii could increase the tenderness and decrease the oxidation of muscle, while S. saprophyticus stabilized the springiness and increased the proteolysis. The metabolites produced by the co-fermentation of S. cohnii and S. saprophyticus showed a higher hierarchy, then exhibited the highest hierarchy in synergy with L. plantarum. The promising flavor may be related to the arginine biosynthesis, nicotinic acid and nicotinamide metabolism, and pyrimidine metabolism pathways. Staphylococcus contributed to flavor by promoting the accumulation of di- and tripeptides and activating the amino acid metabolic pathway through arginine metabolism. These findings provide thoughts for understanding the fermentation mechanism of Staphylococcus and the targeted modulation of the flavor of Chinese bacon.

The consumption of agricultural products has increased in recent years owing to abundant production and improved living standards. Veterinary drugs are highly commercialized and widely used in animal husbandry to ensure animal health and production performance. Moreover, pesticides can become enriched during animal breeding, resulting in animal-derived food pollution through foraging, drinking, and environmental disinfection that can potentially damage human health.

The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of how feruloyl oligosaccharides (FOs) on the physical properties, antioxidant activity, and antimicrobial efficacy of chitosan-based (CS) films. Among the tested formulations, the film containing 10% FOs (CS/FOs-10) demonstrated optimal physical properties, including significant water degradability and excellent extensibility. In vitro antioxidant assays revealed that wheat bran FOs significantly enhanced the overall antioxidant capacity of CS films, with the CS/FOs-15 film achieving an ABTS radical scavenging rate of 96%.

Background: Genomic selection, which leverages genomic information to predict the breeding value of individuals, has dramatically accelerated the improvement of economically important traits. The growing availability of multiomics data in agricultural species offers an unprecedented opportunity to enrich this process with prior biological knowledge. However, fully harnessing these rich data sources for accurate phenotype prediction in genomic selection remains in its early stages.

This work investigated the covalent interaction mechanisms between eight aroma compounds from heat-processed pork and porcine proteins. The effects of aroma compounds on protein conformation and covalent reactive groups were evaluated before and after heating, demonstrating that covalent binding potential for hexanal, (E)-2-octenal (OCT), (E,E)-2,4-decadienal (DEC), dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS), and 2-methyl-3-furanthiol (MFT). Covalent binding of OCT, DEC, DMTS, and MFT, along with hydrophobic interactions of OCT and DEC, disrupted protein secondary structure and inhibited peptide chain cross-linking, with heating enhancing interactions.

Meat allergens pose significant health risks to allergic individuals, yet highly sensitive quantification methods remain limited. In this study, a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for quantifying trace meat allergens from beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and duck in foods. Sample preparation was optimized, involving protein extraction, enzymatic digestion, and peptide purification, with five surrogate peptides from myoglobin and myosin light chain selected as quantitative markers.
