چکیده

The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for concentrations of minerals in LM and to evaluate their associations with beef palatability traits. Samples of LM from 2,285 Angus cattle were obtained and fabricated into steaks for analysis of mineral concentrations and for trained sensory panel assessments. Nine minerals, including calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and zinc, were quantifi ed. Restricted maximum likelihood procedures were used to obtain estimates of variance and covariance components under a multiple-trait animal model. Estimates of heritability for mineral concentrations in LM varied from 0.01 to 0.54. Iron and sodium were highly and moderately heritable, respectively, whereas the other minerals were lowly heritable except for calcium, copper, and manganese, which exhibited no genetic variation. Strong positive genetic correlations existed between iron and zinc (0.49, P < 0.05), between magnesium and phosphorus (0.88, P < 0.05), between magnesium and sodium (0.68, P < 0.05), and between phosphorus and potassium (0.69, P < 0.05). Overall tenderness assessed by trained sensory panelists was positively associated with manganese, potassium, and sodium and negatively associated with phosphorus and zinc concentrations (P < 0.05). Juiciness assessed by trained sensory panelists was negatively associated with magnesium and positively associated with manganese and sodium concentrations (P < 0.05). Livery or metallic fl avor was not associated with any of the minerals (P > 0.05). Beefy fl avor was positively associated with calcium, iron, and zinc and negatively associated with sodium concentration, whereas a painty or fi shy fl avor was positively associated with sodium and negatively associated with calcium and potassium concentrations (P < 0.05). Beef is a major contributor of iron and zinc in the human diet, and these results demonstrate suffi cient genetic variation for these traits to be improved through marker-assisted selection programs without compromising beef palatability.

Concentrations of creatine, creatinine, carnosine, and anserine in bovine longissimus muscle and their correlations with carcass and palatability traits

Creatine and carnosine have been considered as valuable nutraceuticals in meat products for a long time. Creatine as energy buffer plays an important role in cellular metabolism and shows protective effects in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease. Carnosine has multiple physiological functions associated with anti-oxidation and anti-aging. Although cre...

Sire breed effect on beef longissimus mineral concentrations and their relationships with carcass and palatability traits.

The objective of this study was to evaluate sire breed effect on mineral concentration in beef longissimus thoracis (LT) and investigate the correlations between beef mineral concentrations and carcass and palatability traits. Steer progeny (N=246) from the Germplasm Evaluation project-Cycle VIII were used in this study. In addition to carcass traits, LT was evaluated for mineral concentrations...
