Recovering Value Topic ADDING VALUE Topics of Common Interest from the 5th Quarter 3 TO THE SCOTTISH and Reducing Waste RED MEAT SUPPLY CHAIN Edible by-products (offal) INTRODUCTION The slaughter of animals yields many edible products other than carcase meat (such as red offal), which are fit for human consumption. As such they are valuable sources of protein and nutrients required in the diet, when used either as prepared items (e.g. slices of liver) or when used as ingredients in meat products. The market for ‘edible by-products’ differs however, by country (even region) and culture. In recent years the acceptance of some ‘offal’ material for human consumption has (unfortunately for the meat industry) declined in the home market, but in other parts of the EU and the world, the demand for many of the products that used to be consumed in larger volumes in Britain is better. At the same time as livestock numbers are declining in Britain and the EU, there is a greater demand for higher quality raw materials for the manufacture of pet foods. This has resulted in many of the products that could be used for human consumption being diverted into the pet food chain (the opportunities in this area are discussed in the Common Topic 6 Petfood). DEFINITIONS Edible 5th quarter products Edible 5th quarter products can come from both the internal body parts of cattle, sheep and pigs and from external (whole body) parts. For example: Internal: Those from within the carcase, items such as liver and kidney are still relatively widely utilised by consumers. Some used to be more widely used, but are now difficult to find in many retail outlets (such as, hearts, lungs and trachea, sweetbreads) and others that are now banned (e.g. the brains from cattle over 12 months old). Such 5th quarter materials are sometimes referred to as ‘red offal’ from the carcase, such as liver (as opposed to ‘green offal’ referring to the digestive tract and associated organs). Some of the blood from cattle and pigs is used for manufacturing black puddings (the opportunities in this area are discussed in the Common Topic 7 Blood). External: Includes pig heads, head meat from eligible cattle and sheep, feet, oxtail and collagen. Other edible products can be seamed out from parts of the remaining carcase that may otherwise be trim (and hence possibly waste). Edible co-products Is a term used by EU Regulations to refer to ‘edible by-product’ materials derived from internal and external 5th quarter material that have to be further processed in some way (i.e. which for some may only mean washing), before being used wholly or as ingredients in products for human consumption. December 2009 • version 1 December 2009 • version 1 ADDING VALUE Topic TO THE SCOTTISH Edible by-products (offal) 3 RED MEAT SUPPLY CHAIN DEFINITIONS Edible co-products (cont’d) The main edible co-products are derived from: 1 Stomachs – (in cattle and sheep the rumen and reticulum – processed for tripe’s for domestic consumption or export (less so sheep). The processing of tripes is described in Common Topic 5 Tripe. In pigs the stomach (maw) – processed today mainly for the export market (when harvested with the large intestine they are sometimes referred to as chitterlings and can be cooked and used as food on their own, or processed with other material in traditional meat products such as faggots). 2 Intestines – derived from the small intestines of sheep and pigs, processed primarily for use as natural casings. In cattle they are classified as specified risk materials. 3 Edible fats and proteins – derived from various fat sources from carcases that have been passed as fit for human consumption. 4 Feet – need to be cleaned and de haired, sometimes skinned for human consumption. The main edible 5th quarter materials are outlined in Table 1 on page 5. THE DOMESTIC MARKET Edible offal form the basis of many well-known national dishes such as liver and onions, steak and kidney pie, stuffed heart, tripe and onions, not least in Scotland they provide the essential ingredients for haggis. In addition bones yield marrow and can be used to produce stock, and intestines can be used as the skins for sausages and black and white puddings. Many of these offal require little preparation other than trimming and removal of the outer membrane (skinning) to make them ready for sale. The following illustrations show the most common edible offal derived from cattle and typical presentations.

Recent reports show that the consumption of red and white meat offal’s has fallen by almost 50% since 1980 and today only represents an estimated 2 to 3% of total meat consumption. Taylor Nelson Sofres house- hold food panel consumption figures over a similar period were reported as indicating however, that households only consumed a small proportion of this as fresh product, (i.e. with the remainder being consumed in meat products). However, recent reports have indicated that there has been a renewed interest of certain sections of the catering market, such as the higher quality restaurants, in putting red offal dishes on their menus. The hope is that this could lead to a revival in the frequency of use by households (and recent experience has shown that new/revived use of various foods in recipes in the food service sector can now be a trigger to their uptake in the household sector). Quality Meat Scotland are currently carrying out new consumer research on the demand for edible offal and the results will be circulated early next year. These reports also indicate, that of the small amount of edible offal that is consumed, much does not come from home produced livestock but from the large tonnage of edible offal that is imported into the UK Almost all of this comes into the country in a frozen form and some such as lamb offal from New Zealand are in consumer packs and are a common sight in the freezer cabinets in most supermarkets. Unfortunately the available household consumption statistics do not give reliable figures on the amount of offal consumed in the UK that comes from imported sources.

Received 10 August, 2018; Accepted 24 October, 2018 The study aims to determine the available beef and chicken edible offals and their prices in four major retail stores in Gaborone, Botswana. Traditionally, edible beef and chicken offal were available and sold in rural meat and informal markets around Gaborone, but recently upmarket retail stores of Gaborone sell these products. The study was done over a period of twelve months. Amongst the offals noted in the retail stores were ox tail, tongue, spleen, ox heel, kidneys, intestines, rumen, omasum, liver and ox heart for beef and feet, liver, gizzards, intestines, necks and kidneys for chicken. Offals were cheaper than the cheapest standard beef and chicken cuts being the chuck/brisket or stewing beef for beef and breast for chicken. Green beef offals were generally cheaper than red offals. The most expensive beef offal was ox tail at ~P60.00, and the cheapest offal was ox heel at ~P19.95 (USD1.00 ~ BWP11.00). For chicken, the gizzards were the most expensive at ~P49.45, with the necks being the cheapest at ~P26.59.

    Title: Survey of Microbiological Status of Offal Products from Pork

    Title: Survey of Microbiological Status of Offal Products from Pork Processing Facilities in the United States – NPB #16-162 Institution: South Dakota State University. Investigators: Alan Erickson (Principal Investigator), South Dakota State University; William Benjy Mikel, WPF Technical Services; Laura Ruesch SDSU; Jane Christopher-Hennings, SDSU; Monte Fuhrman, Pipestone Veterinary Services; Jonathan Ertl, Sioux Nation Ag Center. Date submitted: 10/31/17 Industry Summary: In the United States, approximately five million metric tons of pork variety meats and other byproducts are generated each year with a large amount of this material being rendered to generate low value products like pet food, meat/bone meal, fat, and grease. An alternative use of the US variety meats would be to market and sell them to consumers in countries like China that prefer strong tasting pork products like the variety meats. The desirability of these products in foreign markets makes them higher value products, which could help increase the value of live hogs for US producers. To be able to market and sell these variety meats in global markets, it is important to understand the microbiological status of these products. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to: Determine the microbiological profile of commonly consumed offal products (liver, heart, kidney, brain and intestine) as currently handled in pork production facilities in the United States. This microbiological profile will include tests for: mesophilic aerobic plate counts (APC), Salmonella, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Toxoplasma gondii. To address this objective, samples of heart, kidney, liver, brain and intestine were obtained from 15 pork processing plants in 10 states found across the Midwestern and Southeastern pork-producing region of the US.

    The Effects of Beef Liver on the Growth of Catfish and Goldfish

    THE EFFECTS OF BEEF LIVER ON THE GROWTH OF CATFISH AND GOLDFISH by MARION ISABELL CAMPBELL B. S., Kansas State Teachers College, Pittsburg, 1924 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE KANSAS STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 1930 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS page INTRODUCTION 2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE 3 METHODS 4 DISCUSSION 8 SUMMARY 18 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 19 BIBLIOGRAPHY 20 PLATES 21 INTRODUCTION In experiments worked out by Edward Schneberger, under the direction of Dr. Minna E. Jewell in 1928-29 at the Kansas State Agricultural College, fish fed a diet contain- ing liver gained more in growth than those fed a non-liver diet. These results suggested the following questions: 1. Is liver just a desirable source of protein in the diet of catfish and goldfish or is some other growth factor contained in it? 2. Is the amount of liver a factor in the rate of growth of catfish and goldfish? 3 These studies were made under the direction of Dr. Edward J. Wimmer of the Kansas State Agricultural College under the auspices of the Zoology Department of the Kansas State Agricultural College. REVIEW OF LITERATURE The field of fish nutrition is comparatively new. Liver has always been a favorite food among hatchery people, because fish eat it readily and it has fulfilled the requirements of an adequate diet. Pearse (1925) worked out the chemical composition of certain fresh water fishes and found the body to contain an average of 2.44 per cent nitrogen for the year. This would be supplied by the protein content of the food.

    Greens, Beans & Groundnuts African American Foodways City of Bowie Museums Belair Mansion 12207 Tulip Grove Drive Bowie MD 20715 301-809-3089Email: [email protected]/museum Greens, Beans & Groundnuts -African American Foodways Belair Mansion City of Bowie Museums Background: From 1619 until 1807 (when the U.S. Constitution banned the further IMPORTATION of slaves), many Africans arrived on the shores of a new and strange country – the American colonies. They did not come to the colonies by their own choice. They were slaves, captured in their native land (Africa) and brought across the ocean to a very different place than what they knew at home. Often, slaves worked as cooks in the homes of their owners. The food they had prepared and eaten in Africa was different from food eaten by most colonists. But, many of the things that Africans were used to eating at home quickly became a part of what American colonists ate in their homes. Many of those foods are what we call “soul food,” and foods are still part of our diverse American culture today. Food From Africa: Most of the slaves who came to Maryland and Virginia came from the West Coast of Africa. Ghana, Gambia, Nigeria, Togo, Mali, Sierra Leone, Benin, Senegal, Guinea, the Ivory Coast are the countries of West Africa. Foods consumed in the Western part of Africa were (and still are) very starchy, like rice and yams. Rice grew well on the western coast of Africa because of frequent rain. Rice actually grows in water. Other important foods were cassava (a root vegetable similar to a potato), plantains (which look like bananas but are not as sweet) and a wide assortment of beans.
  • Liver-Healthy Shopping Guide

    Liver-Healthy Shopping Guide

    Liver-healthy Shopping Guide The liver is the world’s most efficient battery. It helps power your body by storing and releasing energy when you need it. Your liver plays a key role in converting food into the chemicals essential for life and it is therefore important to make food choices that optimize liver health. Although there is no specific ‘liver health diet’, these general guidelines will help ensure that your liver is functioning at its best: General Guidelines: • Choose a variety of foods from all four food groups of Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide- aliment/index_e.html ). Focus on lower fat choices within each food group. • Eat at least 2 servings from the Meat & Alternatives food group (meat, fish, poultry, peanut butter, dried beans, peas, lentils). • Eat small regular meals. Do not skip meals or over-eat. • Drink 6 to 8 glasses of fluids (preferably water) a day. • Avoid alcohol – or if you drink, do not have more than one to two drinks per occasion (and never on a daily basis). • Consult your doctor if you are considering taking vitamins or herbal supplements. Particular herbal supplements have the potential to cause liver damage and certain vitamins may be harmful to the liver if taken in high doses, particularly vitamin A. • Choose organic foods whenever possible: The less pesticides/chemicals/antibiotics/hormones, the less your liver has to filter. • Fresh is generally best e.g. firm and clean, organic and in-season produce • Wash fruit and vegetables right before use to remove pesticides.

    Heart Health Through Whole Foods

    Heart Health Through Whole Foods Certain whole foods in a diet can ultimately provide heart-healthy benefits. The right foods consumed in the right amounts can help lower cholesterol and/or triglycerides. They may also help to reduce risk for heart disease. Even though the benefits of whole foods may be known, too often individuals turn to over-the-counter supplements instead. It is important to discuss all supplements prior to ingestion with your physician. Individuals may not realize that taking some supplements with certain medications may be harmful or that taking too much of a good thing can be bad. The purpose of this session is to educate how to obtain certain nutrients through whole foods rather then through supplements. It must be noted that some individuals may still need supplements in addition to diet. Once again this should be guided by a physician.

Wheat flour which acts as a binding agent of meatball except for control group T1. The meatballs were formulated having 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% wheat flour. The sensory (colour, flavour, texture, juiciness, tenderness, overall acceptability), physicochemical (proximate analysis, pH, cooking loss), biochemical (TBARs, POV, FFA) were analyzed. Treatments were analyzed in a 4×3 factorial experiment in CRD replicated three times per cell. Wheat flour inclusion in meatballs increased cooking yield by reducing weight loss from 27.06 to 26.49%. Among four treatments most preferable colour, odour, tenderness, juiciness was observed significantly (p<0.05) at 15% wheat flour group and the less preferable colour was observed from the control group. The preferablecolourwas observed at 0 days and less preferable colour at 30 day. Meatballs made with the addition of 15% wheat flour had the highest tenderness, overall acceptability, raw pH, cooked pH and lower DM, ash, PV and TBA & showed significant value (p<0.05) The cooked pH was decreased with the increased storage period.

    Investigating the Safety of Meat Co-Products: Microbiology Aspect

    Investigating the safety of meat co-products: microbiology aspect A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science at University of Otago By Linakshi Weerakoon 2020 Abstract Meat co-products (offal) are rich in protein and essential nutrients and have been consumed as delicacies worldwide. China, New Zealand’s largest red meat export market is a country where offal dishes are frequently consumed. As foodborne diseases are a major challenge faced by Chinese consumers, it is important to ensure the quality and safety of offal consumed in China. The objectives of the study were; firstly to investigate the presence of E. coli/ coliforms, Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes and determine the aerobic plate count (APC) of sheep offal (testes, skirt, liver, tripe, kidney, heart, tail and pizzle) purchased from New Zealand and China using conventional microbiology enumeration methods. Secondly, the distribution of microbial populations present in the sheep offal were investigated using metagenomics. Thirdly, the presence of mycotoxins, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEA), T-2 toxin and ochratoxin A (OTA) in sheep offal were investigated. Lastly, the decontamination efficiency of chitosan on meat co- products was investigated. Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes were not present in any of the sheep offal. APC counts obtained for testes, skirt, liver, tripe , kidney, heart, tail and pizzle were 1.85 ± 0.58, 1.65 ± 0.53,1.41 ± 0.28, 1.61± 0.51,1.53 ±0.97, 2.16 ± 0.18 and 2.35 ± 0.46 log CFU/g, respectively for the New Zealand sheep offal and 6.27 ± 0.25, 6.04± 1.53, 6.36 ± 0.72, 5.70 ± 0.92, 7.56 ± 0.58, 7.41 ± 0.56, 7.41 ± 0.45 and 7.44± 1.11 log CFU/g, respectively for the Chinese sheep offal.
