Questions related to Meat
For fatty acid and amino acid profile analysis in Litopenaeus vannamei post-larvae (1-1.5 gr), is it necessary to remove the head and peel? or it's possible to use whole body including head, peel and meat for this target?
A certain resistance to temperature, to hydrochloric acid in the stomach, to saliva in the mouth, and so on. Still, there are many uncertainties...
AMR bacteria can easily cause damage to meat and animal products when animals are slaughtered and consumed through contaminated processing equipment or storage container. The misuse of antibiotics to treat, prevent, and control animal diseases leads to increased antibiotic resistance.

In a typical "maggots on meat" lab done in Forensic Science; what is the best meat that can be used for this exercise?
I have been reading a paper that evaluated the association between low, medium and high intake of certain food groups and risk of disease relapse. I am trying to understand the odds ratio results in the paper.
So my question is relating to table 4:
Doesn't an OR of 0.22 (p=0.007) for medium intake of processed meat and an OR of 0.31 (p=0.005) for total n-3 (in the paper's table 4) mean that processed meat and n-3 reduce risk of relapse when consumed in moderation? Or am I misunderstanding the stats?
In some industries, authority provides lunch for their staffs and workers. The kitchen store of these industry regularly receive the supply of frozen chicken meat from meat processing company and they have to make QC report by visual checking. How can they detect bacterial contamination while receiving frozen chicken visualy?
One of the most crucial elements of the human diet, according to experts, is meat products. The world's output of meat products is rising, which is related to both rising levels of consumption in rich and emerging nations as well as an expanding worldwide population
According to epigenetic science, does it play a role in discovering genes that contain different amino acids that cause the appearance of characteristics or behaviors in people who eat meat and milk from imported animals? Which lived in a special nature other than that in which the importing country lives?
Although health consciousness, religion, environmental protection, animal respect, etc., would be common sense examples in society, there might be a small portion of people who tend to change their eating habits, such as plant-based meat as an example. Therefore, may I know any three (e.g., nutrition, taste, texture, etc.) or other recommendations to aware more Asians, like Hong Kong people, foster awareness of the advantages of plant-based meat cum environmentally friendly in their mindset easily?
Which method is more effective for preserving the protein in meat: freeze-drying or snap freezing with liquid nitrogen?
After collecting the lysates, BCA assay immediately comes next to determine the quantity of the lysates to be used for western blot. However, the scaffolds used are plant protein-based, which hypothetically contributes to the total protein concentration of the lysate considering the mechanical and chemical degradation during lysis procedure. Thus, even when loaded with equal protein concentrations per sample, after western blotting, the cultured meat samples show low expression levels. How can i establish a fair comparison of protein expression given the situation?

Under these plants grow loose mushrooms that in Congolese villages do not consume as their meats change color to the manipulation and to the cut.
It could be a Phlebopus sudanicus or a P.portentosus (which is Asian) or another Phlebopus still unknow
The plant seems to me to be a species of acacia but I do not know exactly the Congolese or African name and the Latin name.
No Congolese University has answered me.
Thanks.
Good afternoon,
I would like to rank different food options by order preference. For instance, I have pizza, pasta, sandwich, meat, fish, and vegetarian meal, and I want to know which categories of meals is preferred or the least selected but on the menu sometimes pizza is offered with meat and sandwich, and another time pizza was offered at the same time that fish and pasta to understand if pizza is selected because it is the most liked items or because it the most liked compared to two others offered options. Reviewing the literature, it seems that a neural network rank can be used. I am not an expert in this technic it. Is it the right machine learning and do you have some examples of this method on R software?
Thanks for your attention,
Ines
According to CNN, the United States of America has approved the commercial sale of lab grown meat. The idea is plausible but ethically, is it right to consume such meat?
As an individual, will you feel offended if you are served cultivated or lab grown meat (uninformed or unknowingly) in an eatery that you use to patronize before?
What will be your reaction?
To sue them, I presume.......hahahaha!!! Or you will just sit back & enjoy your meal?
Your reactions can help enlighten the public and the government too, with regards to what they should & shouldn't approve.
As raw meat microbiological testing and raw meat species, molecular identification is required. is it necessary for raw meat and cooked meat DNA isolation and PCR to avoid cross-contamination and microbial contamination to use Biosafety cabinet type II? If it is necessary to use a biosafety cabinet then an authentic source document for this regard.
For raw and cooked meat DNA Extraction and PCR, can I use biosafety cabinet type II in food laboratory?.
What is the best method for DNA isolation from fish samples? Any experience and/or tips how to improve yield of genomic DNA from fish samples? What tissue is the best source? How much DNA is possible isolate from from fish meat?
Thank you. V.
Does anyone know a paper that provides the amount of carbon in different animal species and//or livestock or in meat?

How can we determine whether the meat used in the meat products formulation was obtained from a dead animal or slaughtered animal?
Study using questionaries' to determine the consumer attitude and consumer perception on meat consumption.
- About 25% of all the global climate change problems we are observing can be attributed to the food and the choices that we actually make on a daily basis. Different foods and diets have different carbon footprints. Livestock accounts for over 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which is that sort equal to transportation (cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships combined).
- We do not have to be Vegan; we can swap to chicken and fish, obviously. If we can just reduce our red meat intake a little bit, we can help the climate a lot.
- On another note, just switching to a Mediterranean diet can potentially solve 15% of global warming pollution by 2050.
I want to prepare an isotonic solution of calcium lactate with respect to the meat sample. In that scenario, I have seen in papers that I have to take the concentration of Calcium lactate with the same water activity as that of the meat sample. I want to know in detail about it. If any papers or other data available on this line.
Is there a better method than ultrasound technology that can be relied upon in determining the quality of meat, in order to preserve the breeding values of the ancient Burqi sheep herd?
Dear all.,
I'm analyzing myoglobin content in ground fresh meat that has been mixed with red pigment solution using UV spectrophotometer at 503, 525, 557, 572, 582, and 700 nm. My red pigment has a maximum absorption maximum at around 460.2, 490.8, 520.4, and 360.6 nm. May I know if those pigment solution readings will interfere with the myoglobin readings? I did the colour blank to minus with the myoglobin readings but the blank colour has high readings value as compared to myoglobin readings (maybe due to water loss activity in fresh meat). Can I just ignore the pigment solution readings? Thank you very much for your reply.
I want to know the concentration of calcium lactate required to store meat to make the solution isotonic. Please share any links or references
I am writing a research protocol on the nutritional quality of commonly consumed meats, that's why I would like to know the method or the most suitable method
use of bacterial starters for production of fermented meat
Hi All,
I'd like to understand what are the health benefits of cell-based meat/seafood and how they are perceived by consumers.
I understand that the sterile environment cultivated meat/seafood is produced in helps prevent food contamination, foodborne illnesses and improve food safety. I was wondering though if there are some estimates on the real impact.
I assume lab-grown food can be fortified and modified to improve its inner health qualities (e.g. less saturated fats, more vitamin D1). Is there any available information on whether lab-grown food companies would eventually do that? And what would be the impact?
Thank you all for your help

This study was carried out in order to find out the level of sheep’s meat, liver and kidney contamination by heavy metals such as: copper, lead, zinc, cadmium and cobalt in different areas of al Sulaimanyah Governorate in comparison with international allowed levels. For the above purpose; three samples of (meat, liver and kidney) were taken in three different
districts of al Sulaimanyah Governorate were covered: Said Sadiq, Dokan district and sulaimanyah city center. The samples were collected during October and November 2020. The triple interference (factors) has affected significantly, the amount of copper in the different sheep tissues; so the amount was varied with the difference of tissue, the place and the time of taking the sample. The highest level of copper in Liver’s tissue was recorded in Dokan district during November, while the lowest level of copper in the meat tissue was recorded in Said Sadiq district during November. The triple interference for the study factors, also affected the level of Zinc in different sheep tissue were the amount varied by tissue difference, place and the time of sample taking. Highest level of Zinc was recorded in kidneys tissue, in Sulaimanyah city Centre during October, while less amount of Zinc was recorded in liver’s tissue in Said Sadiq during October. The triple interference within the study’s factor, significantly affected the amount of cadmium. The amounts were varied by difference of tissue, place and time of taking the samples. Highest level of cadmium was recorded in the meat tissue, at Sulaimanyah city Centre during October, while less amount of Cadmium was recorded in liver’s tissue, Said Sadiq district during October. The triple interference did not affect significantly the amount of Lead and Cobalt in different sheep’s tissue.
I'm using the method of Richards and Hultin (2002) for detecting lipid oxidation of my sample (meat). Unfortunately, I don't have cumene hydroperoxide to run for my standard graph. Can I replace it with ferum (iii) chloride because standard protocol ISO 3976 IDF 74 use this. Thank you very much for your reply.

Recently researching a book which have the lasting knowledge for meat technology or teach the meat cutting skill.
Theoretical researches were done by many institutions and academicians in replication and scalable transaction management in geo-replicated cloud storage services but the implementation of different technologies to them is so rural. Therefore, I implement Machine Learning to said areas in cloud storage services which Machine Learning is a sub-group of Artificial Intelligence. I did not research only subjects, I created prototype solutions for future problems which I predict from the “quantity creates quality” statement because the quantity of users in cloud storage increase demands to quality. These demands can meat by data which were generated by a big amount of users or just by quantity. Am I right? :)
Could you please explain the differentiation of aninal to meat with percentage wise distribution.

Dear all, I am recently struggling with fatty acids integration of meat with GC-MS. The main problem is compared to milk and blood samples, meat FA profile is ugly and some of them like c18 and c16 can be around 90% of all. should I divide them to different peak or just get all the area of that peak? in this case result are not comparable with literatures.
one of the meat FA profile is attached here. do you think it is normal?

Hi all!
I only have one significant hypothesis in my master's thesis and I was wondering what way the relationship of this moderation goes. Do I get this information from the LLCI? I did an experiment with four kinds of labels to see which one has an impact on meat reduction, who are all presented on the left side and the moderator was new masculinity.

I need to follow the degradation of the meat with time outside the refrigerator. What is the gold standard for doing that in a scientific way?
I have read about meat identification techniques in which most of the article mentioned about use of Real time PCR for expression analysis of mitochondrial genes. This technique is suggested for fresh and cooked meat.
I am curious to know that how a mRNA can stable (not degraded) in a cooked meat?
Do we have to take ethical permission from the ethics committee for experiments that will be done on detecting bacteria or viruses in food like meat or milk from the markets?
I want to test Bacillus subtilis bacteria for urease. Can i use peptone from casein instead of peptone from meat when preparing medium (Urea agar Base acc. To CHRISTENSEN) for urease testing?
Professors from the French engineering schools ISARA-Lyon and Bordeaux Sciences Agro and researchers from INRAE (National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment) have set up a study aimed at investigating consumers' perceptions of "cultured meat" also called "artificial meat".

The open meat shops are responsible for many diseases because many types of microbes grow in the stomach of the animal and the waste of meat harvested by meat shops in India is thrown out in the open and it is not eliminated well.
our team researching to cultivated meat, and there is some question related to cell culture media and recycling cell culture media:
1) is cell-cultured media recyclable?
2) has anyone recycled media?
3) if yes, what is the process
4)if no, why not
Thanks in advance for your guidance

Dear Scientists
Animal welfare meat demand is increasing day by day in market. Normally, animal welfare meat price is higher than non-welfare meat. Some people try to adulterate welfare meat by non welfare meat for their more benefit. So we trying to established a efficient analytical method to distinguish between welfare and non welfare meat in market. Do you have any idea regarding this please give me suggestions.
Thank you
Iridescence in striated skeletal muscle may be seen if muscle fibres are transected perpendicularly to the long axes of muscle fibres. I think it may originate from multilayer reflective interference from A and I bands. It can be found from fish to mammalian muscle and in processed meat where treatments have preserved A band reflectance.. I have spent a few weeks looking for iridescence in dry-aged beef - but nothing yet. This makes sense to me because autolysis may have disrupted reflective A bands - all those discoveries of Z-line, alpha-actinin, thin filament insertion, etc. being disrupted by autolysis. But negative findings are a real weakness in the scientific method - maybe aged beef exhibits iridescence but I failed to find it. So, has anyone seen iridescence in dry-aged beef? It is perhaps important for anyone interested in meat colour. Light scattering has a strong effect on the colourimetry of fibres - from meat myofibers to textile fibres. In meat myofibers, the pH-dependent effect on lateral scattering is well documented - but much work remains for light passing along myofibers (they act like optical fibres). Can you help?

I want to study the effect of kiwi on the texture of meat. I propose the following method for a one day experiment:
-marinate steak chunks in crushed kiwi for 24 hours, 1 hour and 15 minutes.
-measure firmness with a texture analyzer or by applying weight (e.g. 500 g) on the steak chunks and measuring the length with a ruler.
-cook marinated samples in a pan (same temperature and time)
-measure firmness with the weight method or with texture analyzer

For the 2019 American Society of Animal Sciences Meeting we are proposing a Symposium on "Sustainability of Meat and Fish Ingredients" it will be housed in the Companion Animal Program, however, it has a Comparative Nutrition focus (i.e., talks from other fields are acceptable - human, livestock, zoo housed-exotics).
We would love some suggestions from the wider field for consideration!
The following topics have been proposed:
- Sustainability of Fish: An Ecological Perspective
- Advances in LCPUFA Production: Fish, alagal and other oil sources
- Ingredient Sustainability (Meat and Fish)
- High Protein Diets: Animal and Alternative Protein Sources
- Feed Sustainability & Consumer Education
Covid-19 and a many of zoonotic diseases, spreading between animals and humans, have been, worldwide, the cause of many historic outbreaks including H1N1 and Ebola. If there is little evidence that eating less meat directly reduces the occurrence of deadly disease outbreaks, Rosie Frost in the “Plant-based diets could prevent a future pandemic” 14/05/2020, reported that “a group of British doctors has backed a call for the end of factory farming to prevent future pandemics like COVID-19”and / or ”There is more information about the meat industry causing diseases than ever before and stronger links between the impacts on our health compared to a meat-free diet.” And “More than 70 per cent of emerging diseases affecting people originated in wildlife and domestic animals”. The UN Environment Programme lists an increased amount of close contact between animals and humans as the most significant risk for zoonotic diseases. Does this “means” that there is a high relationship between meat diet and zoonotic diseases source?
I need the best suitable protocol for Myoglobin determination from meat samples. It will be very helpful if anyone can suggest me the articles which mentioned the step-by-step procedure.

I see that there are tests for looking at meat water holding capacity that invovles pressing meat on filter paper, or centrifuging samples. However, how does these tests distinguish between water pressed/centrifuged out versus oil/fat? For example, if I were to press a piece of highly marbled wagyu, or a ground beef burger patty, there's almost certainly going to be oil that's pressed out along with the water.

I am looking for recent articles about two aspects on meat consumption:
-The environmental impact of meat consumption
-The health benefits/ disadvantages of meat consumption + health recommendations
I want to approach both aspects internationally. What are the differences in environmental impact of meat around the world? How do the recommendations differ between different health organizations? Has meat the same importance for health around the world?

Dear friends
Our laboratory has GC-MS (TQ8030). I wish to analyse fatty acid profile of meat and milk samples using FID. When I run the standard FAME mix (Supelco37), I get very clear 35 (some times 36) peaks but not 37 as mentioned in the literature provided along with the standard mix. I request you to share your technical expertise to fix the issue and get clear 37 peaks.
Meat is very rich in protein but we are told to reduce the rate of meat consumption for health reasons.
Procedure of Cell disruption using high speed homogenizer
1. Approximately 15g of chicken breast meat is mixed with 150 mL distilled water in a 500 mL beaker.
2. Homogenization is carried out at different speed settings of 0 to 10800 rpmfor 2 min respectively. Temperature of the homogenized mixture is taken immediately after homogenization.
3. The homogenized mixture is cooled in an ice-water bath and then centrifuged at 5000 ´ g for 10 min (4˚C).
4. The supernatant (0.05 mL) is taken and the protein concentration is estimated using Lowry's method (refer step 9 in Estimation of protein by Lowry’s method).
5. Plot the graph between speed setting applied vs protein released
May i know why the concentration of released protein is fluctuate after cell disruption using high speed homogenizer?and also the change in temperature at 2000rpm and 2700 rpm is the same?any factor caused the fluctuation of concentration of protein released?
Thank you^^



I am gathering articles that will be useful for my intended study; 'protein oxidation in freeze-stored meat tissues'. I have seen several articles that describe the procedure in detail but no formula for calculation.
I will appreciate a full article with procedure and calculation.
