“…We can only speculate that low lutein concentrations in the neem and monensin treatment groups observed in this study were possibly related to their IMF content. Research has shown that as carotenoids accumulate in adipocytes, the increase in IMF may dilute the carotenoids and, consequently, reduce the yellowness of the subcutaneous fat [ 42 ]. More studies of the effect of medicinal plant extracts on the deposition of carotenoids in the adipose tissue of lambs/sheep should be considered.…”

There is an increased interest in the use of medicinal plants as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters and as agents for methane production mitigation. This study investigated the effects of Azadirachta indica and Moringa oleifera feed additives on the carcass and meat quality of lambs. Forty South African Mutton Merino lambs, weighing between 29 and 43 kg, were randomly assigned to four treatment groups (n = 10 lambs/treatment) and fed a basal total mixed ration (TMR) containing soybean meal (17%), yellow maize (28%), Alfalfa hay (20%), Eragrostis curvula hay (22.2%), molasses (6.0%), wheat offal (5%), urea (0.8%) and vitamin premix (0.5%) on a DM basis. The dietary treatments: TMR diet (control); TMR diet with A. indica leaf extract (A. indica leaf extract at a dosage of 50 mg per kg of feed: neem); TMR diet with M. oleifera leaf extract (M. oleifera leaf extract at a dosage of 50 mg per kg DM of feed: moringa); TMR diet with monensin (at a dosage of 50 mg monensin sodium per kg of feed: positive control). After an adaptation period of 10 days to the experimental conditions, the lambs from all treatment groups were fed ad libitum with the experimental diets. The lambs were slaughtered at a live weight of 60–65 kg after a 23 week trial period. The plant extract dietary additives had no significant effects on the carcass characteristics of the lambs. In comparison to monensin, supplementing with moringa leaf extracts resulted in a higher proportion of C18:1n9c (45.0% ± 0.57 vs. 40.5% ± 0.80; p < 0.05), total MUFAs (47.3% ± 0.66 vs. 42.6% ± 0.87; p < 0.05), and UFA:SFA ratio (1.01 ± 0.03 vs. 0.85 ± 0.03; p < 0.05), which may be beneficial for human health. Our results suggest that natural feed additives, such as A. indica and M. oleifera leaf extracts, can be included in lamb diets without compromising meat fatty acid composition. The negative economic impacts of such technologies on animal production and farm profitability should not be expected.

“…In the sensory evaluation of the samples, the panellists indicated that strawberries stored with the film loaded with CEO had an oregano flavour; however, changes in organoleptic properties did not affect purchase intention. Similar behaviour was observed in the sensory analysis of fish (Vieira et al ., 2019), beef (Torrecilhas et al ., 2021) and tomatoes (Kumar & Saini, 2021) stored with biodegradable films incorporated with CEO. Therefore, the application of CEO in films preserves the quality of several foods, without changing the acceptance rate of the product.…”

The incorporation of essential oil and nanocomposites can develop bioplastics with antioxidant and antimicrobial effects that extend the shelf life of food. In this study, active cassava starch films were incorporated with clove essential oil (CEO) and montmorillonite (MMT) for application on fresh strawberries. Central composite design was used in the development of cassava starch active films and the mechanical, barrier, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties were evaluated. The effects of active films on the quality of fresh strawberries were investigated. The incorporation of MMT and CEO promoted better mechanical performance (elongation greater than 180%), greater light barrier properties (opacity greater than 17%) and high antioxidant action due to the content of polyphenols present (32 mg GAE/g). Strawberries packed with the active films showed less changes in the parameters of colour, acidity and microbial contamination during the storage period evaluated.

“…In this regard, Gorraiz et al [ 105 ] indicated that 7-day aging of beef yielded an increase in characteristic flavor and aftertaste intensity, causing an appreciable improvement of its flavor. In beef aged for 1 and 7 days, Ornaghi et al [ 106 ] and Torrecilhas et al [ 107 ] reported that aging improved odor, flavor, tenderness, and overall acceptability. However, unnecessarily long aging times can adversely affect the sensory quality of meat [ 108 ].…”

Conjoint analysis was used to estimate the relative importance of some of the main extrinsic attributes and quality labels of beef in three Spanish cities (Córdoba, Marbella, and Santa Pola) in a study performed with 300 individuals. Consumers were segmented according to their frequency of consumption. Willingness to pay for different meats was also calculated from the conjoint analysis results. Consumer liking of beef that had been finished with an alternative concentrate rich in agro-industrial by-products and aged for three different durations as compared to conventionally finished beef was also evaluated using the same consumers. The most important attribute for Spanish consumers was the price (28%), followed by origin (25%), animal welfare certification (19%), protected geographical indication (14%), and organic agriculture certification (14%). Most consumers preferred beef from Spain at the lowest possible price and with the highest number of quality labels. Consumers were willing to pay a premium of 1.49, 3.61, and 5.53 EUR over 14 EUR/kg for organic certification, protected geographical indication, and animal welfare certification, respectively. Sensory analysis revealed that, for regular consumers, beef finished with an alternative concentrate rich in agro-industrial by-products offered several hedonic advantages (color, flavor, and tenderness) when compared to beef finished using a conventional diet, while occasional consumers did not find any difference between the two kinds of meat.
