Printed on acid-free paper springer.com v Preface There is little doubt that today’s food industry is faced with a rapidly changing market landscape. The obvious need to continue to provide consumers with nutritious, delectable, safe, and affordable food products which are also profitable for food manufacturers, as well as the ongoing challenge of ensuring the delivery of adequate nutrition to hundreds of millions of disadvantaged people around the world, appears – at least as much as, if not more than, ever – to be at odds with the challenges posed by soaring energy and food commodity prices; fast-paced changes in consumer demographics, habits, and preferences; and the continual need to stay ahead of current and emerging food safety issues. In addition to this, the present ubiquity in the industry of terms such as functional foods, nutraceuticals, low sodium, low fat, clean label, minimal processing, and natural – to name a few – underscores yet a different dimension of the challenges faced by food processors today. On the other hand, however, the solutions of many of these challenges may, concurrently, present the food industry with unique and exciting opportunities. The processed meat industry, despite its long history and tradition, is certainly not exempt from having to face these modern challenges, nor excluded from realizing the promises of the opportunities that may lie ahead. Fortunately, at the same time as the market landscape has been changing, the technological landscape has contin- ued to evolve and advance as a result of continuous scientific breakthroughs and innovations in the areas of process and ingredient technology. If the meat processing industry is to successfully address the issues it faces now and in the future, and if its product offering is to remain relevant to twenty-first century consumers, it must take advantage of these latest technological advances by adequately understanding their fundamental underlying scientific principles and translating them into real, cost-effective solutions to consumers’ needs and wants. With this in mind, Ingredients in Meat Products: Properties, Functionality and Applications aims to present the most up-to-date information regarding nonmeat ingredients and their utilization in the manufacturing of processed meat products, and to do so in a way that is both comprehensive and practical. As the subtitle indicates, emphasis has been placed on helping the reader attain a fundamental understanding of: (1) the properties of each of these groups of ingredients, as we understand them today; (2) how these properties affect their functionality in meat v vi Preface systems; and (3) how to take advantage of the ingredients’ functional properties to maximize their application in real-life situations. The volume discusses all the major types of ingredients used in processed meat products today, and does so both in the context of the ingredients’ traditional uses, as well as, when applicable, in the context of their more novel - and in many instances commercially unexploited – applications. It draws on the individual knowledge and expertise of 20 contributors who, collectively, bring with them a diversity of back- grounds and experiences – half of them being from academia and half from industry, and representing five different countries of North America and Europe. This book is intended as a primary reference on the subject for university, industry, and government meat science researchers; graduate and undergraduate students with an interest in the topic; and meat and food industry product development, quality, production and marketing personnel. It is my hope that it will make a significant contribution to the science and practice of meat processing by becoming a useful tool that the industry can use to successfully undertake and overcome the challenges of the twenty-first century. This book, like all others, did not just happen. Many people were involved in helping me transform this project from a rough idea into the book you are reading right now. First and foremost, I express my most sincere appreciation to the 19 other authors and co-authors who partnered with me in this effort. They all saw the project’s potential from the beginning and I am grateful to them for agreeing to enrich it with their knowledge and perspectives. Gratitude is also expressed to all those who served as reviewers of the individual chapters. Very special thanks go to the management of the Research & Development organization of Kraft Foods Inc. for their continuous support of this endeavor. Many of my other colleagues at Kraft were also most helpful, encouraging, and supportive, especially my co-workers in the Kraft Meat Science Research Group. My wife, Mercedes, and kids, Daniel and David, have sacrificed the most during this project. For much too long, the one constant of most of their weekends (and many a weeknight) was the sight of their husband and father sitting in front of a laptop computer for hours at a time working on the “meat ingredient” book. And, despite that, they still eat hot dogs! You guys are the best and I love you! Finally, I thank the publishers for their encouragement, advice, and patience, and in particular my editor, Susan Safren, who was the first to encourage me to embark on this adventure.

Two primary catego- ries of terms were considered. The first regarding definitions of meat including related terms, e.g., “red” and “white” meat. The second regarding terms describing the processing of meat. In general, meat is defined as skeletal muscle and associated tissues derived from mammals as well as avian and aquatic species. The associated terms, especially “red” and “white” meat have been a continual source of confusion to classify meats for dietary recommendations, communicate nutrition policy, and provide medical advice, but were originally not intended for those purposes.

While we Mostly from, or now eat more chicken than beef, we still eat too much red meat, with funding from, the beef and pork industries. Hmm... especially beef.

The USDA’s database has numbers for beef that has had People who eat more red meat—especially processed meat—have the fat around its edges trimmed down to just ⁄8” or 0”. a higher risk of colon cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

And it doesn’t help that misleading information about meat or The USDA also has numbers for what’s called “separable poultry can trick even the most careful shoppers. Here’s what to lean.” That’s after scalpel-wielding technicians trim off the watch out for. “separable fat”—every bit of fat except marbling within the muscle. Missing labels?

All strains grew in the presence of 10% salt and at pH values of 5.0 and 5.5, whereas only 9 strains grew at 10uC. Proteolytic activity was assessed by the agar plate method, which revealed that 100 and 94.7% of the strains were able to hydrolyze sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins, respectively. These results were confirmed by electrophoretic assays. The titration method revealed that only two strains hydrolyzed pork fat to any extent, and the profiles of the fatty acids freed were different. Most strains produced biogenic amines, but the quantities were generally low.

  • Biomarkers of Meat and Seafood Intake: an Extensive Literature Review Cătălina Cuparencu1*† , Giulia Praticó1†, Lieselot Y
    Cuparencu et al. Genes & Nutrition (2019) 14:35 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12263-019-0656-4 REVIEW Open Access Biomarkers of meat and seafood intake: an extensive literature review Cătălina Cuparencu1*† , Giulia Praticó1†, Lieselot Y. Hemeryck2†, Pedapati S. C. Sri Harsha3†, Stefania Noerman4, Caroline Rombouts2, Muyao Xi1, Lynn Vanhaecke2, Kati Hanhineva4, Lorraine Brennan3 and Lars O. Dragsted1 Abstract Meat, including fish and shellfish, represents a valuable constituent of most balanced diets. Consumption of different types of meat and fish has been associated with both beneficial and adverse health effects. While white meats and fish are generally associated with positive health outcomes, red and especially processed meats have been associated with colorectal cancer and other diseases. The contribution of these foods to the development or prevention of chronic diseases is still not fully elucidated. One of the main problems is the difficulty in properly evaluating meat intake, as the existing self-reporting tools for dietary assessment may be imprecise and therefore affected by systematic and random errors. Dietary biomarkers measured in biological fluids have been proposed as possible objective measurements of the actual intake of specific foods and as a support for classical assessment methods. Good biomarkers for meat intake should reflect total dietary intake of meat, independent of source or processing and should be able to differentiate meat consumption from that of other protein-rich foods; alternatively, meat intake biomarkers should be specific to each of the different meat sources (e.g., red vs. white; fish, bird, or mammal) and/or cooking methods. In this paper, we present a systematic investigation of the scientific literature while providing a comprehensive overview of the possible biomarker(s) for the intake of different types of meat, including fish and shellfish, and processed and heated meats according to published guidelines for biomarker reviews (BFIrev).
