Ujumqin sheep, aged from 1 to 18 months, were employed in this study. The typeⅢcollagen of intramuscular connective tissue was extracted and identified by SDS-PAGE, also three major amino acids were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and then the content of type Ⅲ collagen was calculated based on hydroxyproline. The changes of typeⅢcollagen in intramuscular connective tissue during growth of Ujumqin sheep were analyzed by SAS software. The results showed that the glycine and proline contents in typeⅢcollagen in intramuscular connective tissues were decreased significantly with increasing age of Ujumqin sheep (P < 0.05), whereas the hydroxyproline content was increased significantly (P<0.05). In addition, the content of typeⅢcollagen in intramuscular connective tissues showed a significant increase with the age of Ujumqin sheep (P<0.05).

DOI: 10.7506/rlyj1001-8123-201405002
The volumetric shrinkage and moisture content distribution of pork tenderloin in different drying conditions were investigated. The air was passed through the column chamber at variety of lfow rates (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 m/s) and temperatures ( 40, 50 and 60℃). Shrinkage factor as a function of time and moisture content (dimensionless) was analyzed, as well as moisture content at different locations in the radial direction. The results showed that during the dehydration process of pork tenderloin, moisture migration was continuous, and the moisture content was maximum at the center, and then decreased gradually along the radial direction. The anisotropy of pork tenderloin resulted in differences in moisture content at the same radius. The volumetric shrinkage of the sample was affected mainly by air velocity, whilst effect of air temperature was negligible, moreover, the relationships between the shrinkage factor and moisture content appeared linear. The effect of air velocity on volumetric shrinkage exhibited non-monotonic behavior at 40℃, and the maximum volumetric shrinkage factor occurred at air velocity of 1.0 m/s, meanwhile the minimum at 1.5 m/s, which means S1.0>S2.0>S1.5.

DOI: 10.7506/rlyj1001-8123-201405003
The purpose of this study was to shed light on the occurrence of skeletal muscle apoptosis in triceps brachi (TB), musculus longissimus (ML), semimembranosus (SM) muscles from yak meat during postmortem aging. Totally 24 Ganan black yaks were selected and slaughtered in the Islamic way, and different muscles were excised from each carcass and aged under the conditions of 0-4℃and 0.5 m/s for air lfow rate. Morphological observation of the cell nucleus was performed using He staining at different time points during the aging process, and apoptotic index was measured by in situ end-labeling. Meanwhile, caspase-3 activity was assayed. At 1 d postmortem, the structure of the cell nucleus in the skeletal muscles TB, ML and SM was complete and apparent with evenly distributed nucleoplasm. As the aging progressed, the chromatin inside the nucleus was agglomerated to form a crescent-like shape, the cell nucleus was concentrated and broken, forming apoptotic bodies, and as a result, the cells were shrunk. Almost no positive cell nuclei were observed in ML and SM muscles within the ifrst 3 d premortem. At 5 d postmortem, TB and SM muscles exhibited signiifcantly increased counts of TUNEL-positive nuclei (P<0.01), and at 7 d, a signiifcant difference in the count TUNEL-positive nuclei was noticed between TB and ML muscles (P<0.01). The caspase-3 activity was signiifcantly higher at 12 h postmortem than at 0.5 h (TB, P<0.01;ML, P<0.001;SM, P<0.01). In ML muscle, this enzyme activity reached the maximum level at 12 h postmortem, showing a 273.01%increase over that observed at 0.5 h. In contrast, the enzyme activity reached the maximum level at 1 h postmortem, which was higher by 273.93%and 386.17%than at 0.5 h, respectively. At 5 h, the minimum levels of caspase-3 activity were detected in all the three muscles. In conclusion, during postmortem aging, the concentration and breaking of the cell nuclei in yak skeletal muscles to form apoptotic bodies, increased levels of caspase-3 activity, and the detectable presence of TUNEL-positive nuclei, positively dependent on aging time, together conifrm the occurrence of skeletal muscle apoptosis, which offers a systematic and reasonable way to interpret the mechanism of postmortem aging of yak meat.

DOI: 10.7506/rlyj1001-8123-201405004
Chopped cold chicken is a well-known cooked dish in South China. This dish is very delicious and favored by many people. During the processing of chopped cold chicken, cooling with cold water is one key step, which makes the product crisp. Hot water blanching is another important step for the production of chopped cold chicken, which must be well controlled because it decides the tenderness of the chicken meat. With the aim of investigating the influence of the two factors on the edible and hygienic quality of products, four different methods were employed to make chopped cold chicken. Meat quality and hygienic parameters were measured. The results suggested differences in microbiological counts, color, water content, and aroma components were found among products made by different processing methods. This study would provide theoretical supports and practical experience to explore optimized processing method for the production of chopped cold chicken.

After marination, semitendinosus muscles from two yak breeds in China, Gannan and Sibu, were inoculated with Lactobacillus acidophilus and fermented to investigate changes in eating quality attributes and flavor compounds during the fermentation process. The results showed that as the fermentation progressed, the color became darker, and for both breeds, the L*value reached the maximum on the fifth day and then fell gradually. The hardness of Sibu yak meat was decreased by 32 543.35 g after the fermentation, the springiness was increased by 2.573 mm and the chewiness was reduced by 8 912.89 mJ, compared to an decrease in hardness of 28 668.6 g, an increase in springiness of 2.041 mm, and a reduction in chewiness of 6 685.51 mJ for Gannan yak meat. A total of 18 major flavor compounds were identified in fermented Sibu yak meat, while 21 in fermented Gannan yak meat. Alkenes, alcohols, ethers and aldehydes were responsible mainly for the unique delicate fragrance and fat composition of fermented yak meat from the two breeds.

A method was developed for determining residual ofloxacin enantiomers in chicken muscle by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Samples were extracted with phosphate buffer solution. The extract was purified by solid phase extraction (SPE) using a C18 cartridge and the eluent was then dried by nitrogen blowing and dissolved in mobile phase. The analytes were separated on a LeapsilTM C18 column using a mobile phase composed of a mixture of methanol and aqueous solution of (pH 3.5) 2 mmol/L copper sulfate and 2.5 mmol/L isoleucine. Excitation wavelength was 297 nm and emission wavelength was 487 nm. Quantitation was performed by using the external standard calibration method. The average recoveries for the two enantiomers in spiked chicken muscle were 75.5%-86.1%at four fortiifed levels ranging from 5 to 150μg/kg, and the intra-and inter-batch coefifcients of variation (CVs) were 2.15%-4.21%and 3.87%-5.84%, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) were 1.5 and 5.0μg/kg for the two enantiomers of olfoxacin, respectively.

To analyze the risk of Yersinia enterocolitica contamination in commercial fresh meat in Nanjing. Methods: Risk rating was based on the classic semi-quantitative risk assessment software Risk Ranger combined with literature reports and market research data. Results:Relative risk from Yersinia enterocolitica in commercial fresh pork and beef in Nanjing was 31 and 24, respectively. The probability of food poisoning per day per consumer of interest was 3.62×10-9 and 3.12×10-10, respectively. Risk from the former showed an 11.6-fold increase over that from the latter. In further study, we found that the risks from the two kinds of commercial fresh meat could be reduced to one tenth of the original value by using control systems after processing. Conclusions:The risk of Yersinia enterocolitica contamination in commercial fresh beef in Nanjing is relatively low, but the risk in commercial fresh pork is near the moderate hazard. Consequently, the supervision and management of commercial fresh meat should be strengthened.

DOI: 10.7506/rlyj1001-8123-201405010
Oxidative reaction occurs throughout the entire production process of Chinese bacon, which at moderate levels can promote the formation of flavor substances, but contrarily excessive oxidation may cause rancidity of Chinese bacon. As one of the main components, meat protein may be involved in a series of oxidative reactions to produce oxidation markers, small volatile molecules and physical structure changes during processing and storage of Chinese bacon, so that playing an important role in the flavor. But the oxidation process and the action mechanism are not clear. In this paper, we review the mechanism, impact on meat quality and control of protein oxidation as well as the current situation of research on protein oxidation in Chinese bacon, with the aim of providing references for further studies intended to reveal the evolution of protein oxidation and elucidate the mechanism of action in forming and maintaining the flavor of Chinese bacon and for precise control of protein oxidation in Chinese bacon processing.
