Pig Meat Quality: Characterization and Improvement with Reference to Pse Pork

نویسنده

چکیده

Porcine stress syndrome (PSS), controlled by a recessive gene, is responsible for the formation of poor quality meat (PSE and DFD). Various non-invasive and invasive tests have been devised to identify PSS-prone pigs. A reliable test for detecting the heterozygotes is essential for eliminating PSE-prone pigs. A simple test for selecting pigs to produce meat of excellent water holding capacity is described, and this could provide a potential procedure for eliminating PSE-prone pigs.

Development of an autonomous, wireless pH and temperature sensing system for monitoring pig meat quality.

This paper focuses on the development of a unique wireless pH and temperature monitoring system to assess pig meat quality. Pale, soft and exudative (PSE) pig meat continues to be a major problem in the pig meat industry today. The PSE condition in pork is related to a number of factors including genetics, pre-slaughter stress and insufficient chilling of pig carcasses, which cause a rapid rate...

Coping with the PSE syndrome in poultry meat

Introduction: PSE syndrome regards to meat defects. It is generally described as a major defect affecting the colour (paler than normal), the texture (softer than normal) and the water holding capacity (lower than normal) of the meat. All these quality issues are becoming a concern to the industry. PSE syndrome has first been described in pork mainly since the beginning of the 60’s and more rec...

Comparison of Two Multiplex PCR Systems for Meat Species Authentication

Background: Meat species adulteration has become a problem of concern. This study aimed to compare two previously published multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) methods for meat species authentication.  Methods: The primers used in the first multiplex PCR involved species-specific reverse primer for sheep, goat, cattle, pig, and donkey with universal forward primer. In the second multiple...

Effect of ionizing radiation on quality characteristics of vacuum-packaged normal, pale soft exudative, and dark firm dry pork

Ž . Ž . Normal, pale soft exudative PSE , and dark firm dry DFD pork Longissimus dorsi muscles were vacuum-packaged, irradiated at 0, 2.5 or 4.5 kGy, and stored at 4 C for 10 days. The pH, color and lipid oxidation of pork were determined at 0, 5 and 10 days of storage. Volatile production from pork loins was determined at Day 0 and Day 10, and sensory characteristics at Day 7 of storage. Irrad...

The Effect of Dietary Tryptophan on Pig Behaviour and Meat Quality - Preliminary Results

The quality defect ‘pale, soft, exudative’ (PSE) pork is caused by an acute stress response of the pig preslaughter and is estimated to cost the Australian pig industry in excess of $20 million per year. Dietary tryptophan has been reported to reduce the stress response of horses to trucking and to alleviate laying hysteria in hens. This preliminary experiment investigated the influence of exce...
