Multivariate analysis approach for assessing coated dry-cured ham flavor quality during long-term storage.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the effect of coatings on the quality of ripened dry-cured hams during long-term storage, especially the profile of volatile compounds. The coatings were made up of 33% palm oil, 16.5% water, 39.7% cassava starch, 6.8% corn starch, 1.6% mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, 0.6% tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), and 1.8% sodium carbonate. The results showed that the moisture content of the coated ham (48.93-49.59%) was higher than that of the noncoated ham (44.37%). The average peroxide value (POV) and b* value were lower in the coated hams than in the noncoated hams (5.52 and 8.99 meq/kg, respectively), and the sensory attributes of the coated hams had better overall acceptability scores. The changes in the contents of 39 volatile flavor compounds were evaluated through a multivariate statistical analysis, revealing that 20 identified compounds could be related to the decrease in fat pungent aroma, and most belonged to the long-chain benzene and carboxylic acid family. Meanwhile, 2-nonanone, nonanal, amyl alcohol, and 2-heptanone indicated that they could be used as markers to distinguish between the coated and noncoated groups.

Influence of Electrostatic Field on the Quality Attributes and Volatile Flavor Compounds of Dry-Cured Beef during Chill Storage.

Project description:The purpose was to investigate the quality characteristics of dry-cured beef with different storage times under a high-voltage electrostatic field (HVEF) condition. The pH, moisture content, meat color, and volatile compounds of dry-cured beef samples treated with HVEF (3 kV) were compared with those of a common refrigerator (CON) at days 0, 3, 7, 10, and 14. The results showed that, compared with CON group, the decline rates of the pH and moisture content of beef and ?E values were lower under HVEF storage condition. From the fingerprints, the 42 volatile compounds identified were mainly aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, and esters. The benzaldehyde, trimethyl pyrazine, and maltol contents in the HVEF group exhibited a dramatic increase after 10 days of storage. Principal component analysis revealed clustering of compound classes, distributed in a separate time. Based on the above findings, we concluded that HVEF treatment could promote color stability and enhance characteristic flavor during the storage of dry-cured beef. These results suggested that HVEF might be applicable for dry-cured meat storage techniques.

Portable Raman Spectrometer as a Screening Tool for Characterization of Iberian Dry-Cured Ham.

Project description:Dry-cured Iberian ham is officially classified into different commercial categories according to the pig's breed and feeding regime. These reach very different prices, thus promoting labelling fraud and causing great damage to the food sector. In this work, a method based on Raman spectroscopy was explored as a rapid in situ screening tool for Iberian ham samples. A total of 110 samples were analyzed to assess the potential of this technique to differentiate purebred, crossbred, acorn-fed and feed-fed dry-cured Iberian ham. A continuous signal probably due to sample fluorescence was obtained, which hid the Raman scattering signal. Therefore, chemometric treatment was applied in order to extract non-apparent information. High validated classification rates were obtained for feeding regime (83.3%) and breed (86.7%). In addition, an interlaboratory study was carried out to confirm the applicability of the method with 52 samples, obtaining a validated rate above 80%.

Multifunctional Peptides from Spanish Dry-Cured Pork Ham: Endothelial Responses and Molecular Modeling Studies.

Project description:Food peptides contain a very wide range of diversified structures, which explains their diverse range of functional activities. Proatherogenic endothelium is related to vasoconstriction, inflammation, and oxidative stress. In this line, four synthetic bioactive peptides from dry-cured pork ham, previously identified according to their Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitory capacity and high bioavailability, were tested. Among them, KPVAAP displayed an estimated IC50 of 59.22 µM for human ACE inhibition, and docking simulations demonstrated the consistency of the noncompetitive binding with the protein. The addition of synthetic peptides to human endothelial cells significantly prevents the expression of genes related to endothelial dysfunction and inflammation (eNOS, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, IL-6) and lowers NF-κB activation (all p < 0.05). In silico dockings showed that the four bioactive peptides interact with the regulatory subunit NEMO of the NF-κB transcription factor at the same site as other characterized inhibitors (CC2-LZ region). This is the first study linking experimental and computational approaches that shows NF-κB to be the target of biopeptides of food origin. These multifunctional peptides from dry-cured pork ham make them good candidates for further research into their therapeutic or preventive use to attenuate the inflammatory atherosclerotic process.

Flavor Formation in Dry-Cured Fish: Regulation by Microbial Communities and Endogenous Enzymes.

Project description:Dried salted fish is a traditional dry-cured fish that is sprinkled with salt before the curing process. With a unique flavor as well as diverse varieties, dry-cured fish is popular among consumers worldwide. The presence of various microbial communities during the curing process leads to numerous metabolic reactions, especially lipid oxidation and protein degradation, which influence the formation of flavor substances. However, during industrial curing, the quality of dry-cured fish is difficult to control, leading to the formation of products with diverse flavors. This review describes the curing process of dried salted fish, the key microorganisms involved in the curing process of typical dried salted fish products at home and abroad, and the correlation between biological metabolism and flavor formation and the underlying mechanism. This review also investigates the prospects of dried salted fish products, proposing methods for the analysis of improved curing processes and the mechanisms of dried salted fish. Through a comprehensive understanding of this review, modern production challenges can be addressed to achieve greater control of microbial growth in the system and improved product safety. In addition to advancing our understanding of the processes by which volatile flavor compounds are formed in conventional dry-cured fish products, we expect that this work will also offer a theoretical framework for enhancing their flavor in food processing.

Dry-Cured Ham-Derived Peptide (Asp-Leu-Glu-Glu) Exerts Cytoprotective Capacity in Human Intestinal Epithelial Caco-2 Cells.

Project description:Dry-cured hams are well-known and highly appreciated products in the Mediterranean and China. The long-term fermentation endows dry-cured hams with a unique flavor and quality. Our previous study has identified Asp-Leu-Glu-Glu (DLEE) from dry-cured Xuanwei ham with remarkable antioxidant capacity. In the current study, the Caco-2 cells were cultured in vitro and treated with different doses of DLEE. The cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and antioxidant enzyme activities were then determined to investigate the intracellular protection effect of DLEE. According to the results, the cellular ROS level was reduced, whereas the antioxidant enzyme activities of glutathione reductase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase were improved following DLEE treatment. The DLEE treatment also increased the Nrf2 expression, along with downregulating the Keap1 expression. Thus, the dry-cured ham-derived peptide DLEE exhibited excellent bioactive capacity by reducing the ROS level and regulating the antioxidant enzyme activities. In addition, Nrf2/Keap1 was shown to be the main signaling pathway underlying DLEE-induced antioxidant activities in Caco-2 cells.

Beneficial Impact of Pork Dry-Cured Ham Consumption on Blood Pressure and Cardiometabolic Markers in Individuals with Cardiovascular Risk.

Project description:Evidence suggests that bioactive peptides reduce hypertension and affect certain metabolic pathways. Fifty-four volunteers with stage 1 prehypertension and/or hypercholesterolemia and/or basal glucose >100 mg/dL were recruited and randomized to pork dry-cured ham (n = 35) or cooked ham (placebo group; n = 19) for 28 days. After a wash-out period, meat products were changed for 28 additional days. Bioactive peptides composition and enzyme inhibitory activities of both products were characterized. Treatment comparisons for the main effects were made using a two (treatment) × two (times) repeated measures minus the effect of cooked ham (placebo). 24 h mean systolic and diastolic pressures decreased up to 2.4 mmHg in the dry-cured ham period (treatment effect, p = 0.0382 y p = 0.0233, respectively) as well as the number of systolic pressure measures > 135 mmHg (treatment effect, p = 0.0070). Total cholesterol levels also decreased significantly after dry-cured ham intake (p = 0.049). No significant differences were observed between the two treatments for basal glucose, HOMA-IR index and insulin levels (p > 0.05). However, a significant rise of ghrelin levels was observed (treatment effect, p = 0.0350), while leptin plasma values slightly decreased (treatment effect, p = 0.0628). This study suggested the beneficial effects of regular dry-cured ham consumption on the improvement of systolic/diastolic blood pressures and facilitated the maintenance of metabolic pathways, which may be beneficial in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Selection and Evaluation of Staphylococcus xylosus as a Biocontrol Agent against Toxigenic Moulds in a Dry-Cured Ham Model System.

Project description:Toxigenic moulds can develop on the surface of dry-cured meat products during ripening due to their ecological conditions, which constitutes a risk for consumers. A promising strategy to control this hazard is the use of antifungal microorganisms usually found in these foods. However, to date, the effectiveness of gram-positive catalase-positive cocci (GCC+) has not been explored. The aim of this work was to select GCC+ isolates with antifungal activity to study its effectiveness in a dry-cured ham model system at the environmental conditions reached during the ripening. Forty-five strains of GCC+ were evaluated and the isolate Staphylococcus xylosus Sx8 was selected to assess its efficacy at two different concentrations (106 and 104 cfu/mL) against Penicillium nordicum, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, and Penicillium griseofulvum at 15, 20, and 25 °C. The results showed that the inoculation of 106 cfu/mL of S. xylosus completely inhibited the growth of most fungi. In addition, in the presence of this strain at 104 cfu/mL, a significant reduction in fungal growth and mycotoxins production was observed at the three temperatures studied. In conclusion, S. xylosus Sx8 possesses great potential as a biological agent to control toxigenic moulds in dry-cured meat products.

Technological and Safety Characterization of <i>Kocuria rhizophila</i> Isolates From Traditional Ethnic Dry-Cured Ham of Nuodeng, Southwest China.

Project description:Nuodeng ham is known for its unique processing techniques and flavor. In the present study, proteolytic microorganisms from cured artisanal Nuodeng ham were investigated in order to identify and select potential starter cultures for its faster and safer fermentation. Eight isolates, accounting for 57% of proteolytic microorganisms, were found to be related to Kocuria rhizophila. Relevant properties of K. rhizophila as potential starter culture were evaluated in vitro for the first time. Intra-species diversities were found in phylogenetic and physiological properties of K. rhizophila isolates. Nevertheless, desirable attributes, such as halo-tolerance, nitrate reductase and protease activity, as well as the absence of antimicrobial resistance and amino acid decarboxylase activity, were observed in selected isolates. Moreover, genome analysis of isolates K24 and K45 confirmed their lack of typical genes for virulence, antimicrobial resistance and amino acid decarboxylase. K. rhizophila may thus represent a novel starter candidate of coagulase-negative cocci group and contribute to color and flavor development of fermented meats.

The Maillard Reaction as Source of Meat Flavor Compounds in Dry Cured Meat Model Systems under Mild Temperature Conditions.

Project description:Flavor is amongst the major personal satisfaction indicators for meat products. The aroma of dry cured meat products is generated under specific conditions such as long ripening periods and mild temperatures. In these conditions, the contribution of Maillard reactions to the generation of the dry cured flavor is unknown. The main purpose of this study was to examine mild curing conditions such as temperature, pH and aw for the generation of volatile compounds responsible for the cured meat aroma in model systems simulating dry fermented sausages. The different conditions were tested in model systems resembling dry fermented sausages at different stages of production. Three conditions of model system, labeled initial (I), 1st drying (1D) and 2nd drying (2D) and containing different concentrations of amino acid and curing additives, as well as different pH and aw values, were incubated at different temperatures. Changes in the profile of the volatile compounds were investigated by solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (SPME-GS-MS) as well as the amino acid content. Seventeen volatile compounds were identified and quantified in the model systems. A significant production of branched chain volatile compounds, sulfur, furans, pyrazines and heterocyclic volatile compounds were detected in the model systems. At the drying stages, temperature was the main factor affecting volatile production, followed by amino acid concentration and aw. This research demonstrates that at the mild curing conditions used to produce dry cured meat product volatile compounds are generated via the Maillard reaction from free amino acids. Moreover, in these conditions aw plays an important role promoting formation of flavor compounds.
