Assessment of the Quality and Shelf-Life in Enriched n3 PUFA Raw Beef Patties Using Dry Soybean Sprouts as Antioxidant

Abstract

The appearance of fresh meat is a major determinant of its appeal to consumers. Ground beef in retail display oxidizes at a faster rate than whole muscle products; the use of antioxidants to break the radical chain reaction in the oxidation process is an effective method for slowing oxidation. Soybean is a complex matrix with several bioactive compounds, including peptides and proteins, isoflavones, saponins, and other compounds with antioxidant properties. This study was conducted for 1) to evaluate the antioxidant properties of dry soybeans sprouts (DSS) from Glycine max (L.) Merr., MUNASQA ® ; 2) to evaluate quality characteristics of raw beef patties added with dried soybean sprouts at different levels (0.5%, 1% and 2%) and soybean oil as a replacer of fat; and 3) to estimate color changes and lipid oxidation of n3 fortified raw beef under frozen storage. Results showed that dry soybean sprouts had a high level of superoxide dismutase enzyme, high total phenolics and flavonoids content and appreciable vitamin c content. Although reduction power was low, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radicals scavenging activity were elevated. When different concentrations of DSS were incorporated to enriched beef patties with soybean oil, the nutritional value was slightly affected, while that n3 and n6 fatty acid content were increased around three twice. The beef patties formulated with 1% of natural antioxidant showed significantly (p < 0.05) better color stability than those without antioxidants. The lipid oxidation was inhibited in all cases, and was strongly effective at 1% concentration of DSS being the reduced percent of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) comparable to butilated hydroxianisole (BHA). The results shown in this research suggest that dry soybeans sprouts could also be used as a cheap natural antioxidant source for meat products. M. C. Romero et al.

Studies on desmodium velutinum (Willd.) DC. leaf extract's polyphenol profile, in-vitro antioxidant capacity, and anti-proliferative activity of A549 cell lines

“…The procedure outlined by Oyaizu (1986) and Romero et al (2014) with slight variation was used to examine the electron-donating potential of the M.E. and fractions of D. velutinum.…”

Effect of substituting oats and soybeans on the physicochemical composition of burgers and obtaining functional foods

“…Most of the natural antioxidants are obtained from plant resources including culinary herbs, Spices, fruits, vegetables, and oilseed products [26][27], this was evident in Figures No. as stop cooked meats from drying out, is one of its many advantages in addition to its tongue-feel that resembles fat and its capacity to preserve the meat's unique flavors [28], this was evident in Figures No. 7 and 8 for DM, where they represent the highest level in beef, consistent with the fact that it retained fat.…”

Evaluation of crude protein, crude oil, total flavonoid, total polyphenol content and DPPH activity in the sprouts from a high oleic acid soybean cultivar

“…The samples were allowed to react in the dark for 30 min and the absorbance was measured using spectrophotometer (Multiskan GO, Vantaa, Finland) at 517 nm. The scavenging effect (%) of DPPH solution was calculated according to Romero et al (2014).…”
