Rosemary Extract Synergistically Improves Myofibrillar Protein Gel Properties with NaCl

 Abstract: In this study, the endogenous fluorescence intensity, sulfhydryl content, rheological properties, gel strength and water retention of myofibrillar fibrillar proteins from porcine longissimus dorsi muscle were investigated to investigate the effects of rosemary extract (0.01 g/g pro) on myofibrillar fibrillar proteins' structure and gel properties under different NaCl concentration conditions. The results showed that the addition of rosemary extract to myofibrillar fibrillar proteins at NaCl concentrations lower than 0.45 mol/L was not conducive to the formation of a good gel structure, and the water retention of myofibrillar fibrillar proteins was poor; however, at a NaCl concentration of 0.45 mol/L, the addition of rosemary extract together with NaCl could significantly improve the energy storage modulus, gel strength and water retention of myofibrillar fibrillar proteins. At this NaCl concentration, the synergistic effect of rosemary extract and NaCl significantly decreased the endogenous fluorescence intensity of myofibrillar fibrillar proteins, and the wavelength was red-shifted by 2 nm. The favorable change in the tertiary structure of myofibrillar fibrillar proteins was an important reason for the lack of a significant decrease in water retention of myofibrillar fibrillar proteins under the reduced-salt condition. The above results may provide a new reference for the development of NaCl substitutes.

 


Myofibrillar protein (MP) is a salt-soluble protein, which is the main component of muscle proteins, and its main functional property is the ability to thermally induce the formation of gels, which gives meat products, especially minced meat, a good texture and taste. Solubility is closely related to the emulsifying gel properties of MP. Within a certain ionic strength range, the solubility increases with the increase of ionic strength, therefore, NaCl is usually added to increase the ionic strength in meat processing, and the solubility of MP is increased by chopping and mixing. It has been shown that the gel strength of pork MP increases with the increase of ionic strength within a certain ionic strength range[1] .At a NaCl concentration of 0.6 mol/L, the solubility of MP is high, and it is able to form a regular and orderly three-dimensional gel network structure, whereas at a low concentration of NaCl, most of the MP is in the unresolved state, and it is not able to form a stable gel structure[2] .

 

Spices are the main auxiliary materials in meat processing, and their use can give certain flavor to the products on the one hand, and play the role of antioxidant and antibacterial on the other hand. Currently, there are many research reports on the antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of spice extracts in meat products. The application of rosemary and bee balm extracts in cooked ground pork products significantly reduced the thiobarbituric acid value and hexanal content, suggesting that they can inhibit fat oxidation [3-4]. As two major auxiliary materials in meat processing, NaCl and spices may affect the structural and functional properties of proteins to some extent; however, how they synergistically affect the structural and functional properties of MPs, and thus the quality of minced meat products, is not fully understood. In the present study, mixtures of pork MP with different concentrations of NaCl and rosemary extract were prepared, and the sulfhydryl content, endogenous fluorescence intensity, rheological properties, gel strength, and water retention were measured to investigate the effects of NaCl concentration and rosemary extract on the structure and gel properties of MP.

1.3 Methodology

1.3.1 Preparation of rosemary extracts

Refer to the method of Zhang Xue et al[5] with appropriate modifications. Rosemary was washed and drained, dried in a drying oven at 45 ℃, crushed with a high-speed universal pulverizer, and passed through a 40-mesh sieve. Take 50 g of powder in a 1 000 mL stoppered conical flask, add 400 mL of 95% ethanol, stopper the flask tightly, and place it in a constant temperature incubation shaker, extract it at 55 ℃ and 110 r/min for 12 h. Filter it, and add 200 mL of 95% ethanol to the residue to re-extract it for 12 h, and filter it, and combine the filtrates, and then concentrate the concentrated liquid under vacuum in a rotary evaporator for 2 h (55 ℃, 0.08 MPa), and then concentrate the concentrated liquid at -50 ℃. The concentrated liquid was freeze-dried under vacuum at -50 ℃ under a vacuum of 7 Pa. The extract was stored at -20 ℃ for spare parts (rosemary extraction rate of 21.28%, water content of 5%).

 

1.3.2 Extraction of MP and sample preparation

The method of Liu Gang et al[6] was used with slight modification. About 500 g of pork was weighed, crushed, and 4 times the volume of extraction solution (10 mmol/L Na3PO4, 0.1 mol/L NaCl, 2 mmol/L MgCl2, and 1 mmol/L EDTA, pH 7.0) was added, homogenized for 60 s, and then centrifuged at 3,500 r/min for 15 min, and then the precipitates were extracted by repeating the above steps twice, and then the precipitates were added with 4 times the volume of 0.1 mol/L NaCl solution, and washed three times according to the above conditions. Add 4 times the volume of 0.1 mol/L NaCl solution, wash the precipitate 3 times according to the above centrifugation conditions, filter with 4 layers of gauze before the last centrifugation, and then adjust the pH to 6.0 with 0.1 mol/L HCl solution, and then refrigerate the obtained MP at 4 ℃ for spare use. The content of MP was determined by the bis-urea method using bovine serum albumin as the standard.

 

The MP solutions were prepared at concentrations of 5 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL by adding 0.01 g/g pro of rosemary extract, and then adding NaCl to the mixtures to achieve final concentrations of 0.00, 0.15, 0.45, and 0.60 mol/L, respectively. The prepared MP mixture was refrigerated at 4 ℃ overnight (12h).  The prepared MP mixture was refrigerated at 4 ℃ overnight (12 h), and the MP without rosemary extract was used as the control for the subsequent determination of various indexes.

 

1.3.3 Determination of the mass molar concentration of sulfhydryl groups

Referring to the method of di Simplicio et al[7] and slightly improved, take 1 mL of the above 5 mg/mL MP solution, add 8 mL Tris-glycine solution to dissolve it, homogenize it and centrifuge it at 10 000 r/min for 15 min, then remove the insoluble proteins and take 4.5 mL of the supernatant, add 0.5 mL of 10 mmol/L Ellman's reagent, and then let it stand for 30 min after shaking well. After 30 min, the absorbance was measured at 412 nm, and phosphate buffer solution was used as control. The mass molar concentration of sulfhydryl groups was calculated using the molar extinction coefficient method, and the resulting mass molar concentration of sulfhydryl groups was expressed as μmol/g pro, which was calculated as shown in Equation (1).

Molar concentration of sulfhydryl mass/ (µmol/g pro) = x D

(1) Where: A is the absorbance; ε is the molar extinction coefficient (13 600 L/ (mol -cm )); D is the dilution.

 

1.3.4 Measurement of endogenous fluorescence intensity

The method was based on that of Li Xuepeng et al [8] with appropriate modifications. 0.5 mL of 5 mg/mL MP solution was accurately measured and diluted to 0.1 mg/mL with 50 mmol/L phosphate buffer at pH 7.0, and then centrifuged at 10 000 r/min for 30 min with magnetic stirring for 2 h. The results were analyzed by fluorescence spectrophotometer. The parameters were set as follows: the excitation wavelength was 295 nm, the wavelength scanning range was 300-400 nm, the scanning rate was 12 000 nm/min, the excitation and emission slit widths were 2.5 nm, and the sensitivity was 3.

 

1.3.5 Preparation of MP gels

Take 15 mL of 40 mg/mL MP solution treated according to section 1.3.2, put it in a weighing bottle, seal it, and put it in a 70 ℃ thermostatic water bath, heat it continuously for 30 min, and then cool it down with tap water for 30 min, and then store the gel sample in a refrigerator at 24 ℃ for spare. The gel was stored in a refrigerator at 2~4 ℃. The MP gel was placed at room temperature for 20 min before measurement.

 

1.3.6 Determination of gel strength

The determination was carried out using a TA-XT Plus mass spectrometer. The samples to be tested were placed on the platform with the weighing vials, and the parameters were: probe type P/0.5, downward pressure distance of 50% of the gel height, trigger force of 5 g, pre-test rate of 2 mm/s, test rate of 1 mm/s, and post-test rate of 2 mm/s. The results were analyzed by the TA-XT Plus.

 

1.3.7 Determination of water retention properties

The method of Kocher et al.[9] was used with appropriate modifications. Weigh 5 g of gel sample, put it in a 15 mL centrifuge tube, weigh the mass as m2/g, then centrifuge it at 3000×g for 15 min, remove the water and weigh the mass again as m1/g, and the mass of the centrifuge tube is recorded as m0/g, and the water retention is calculated according to equation (2).

Take a certain amount of the prepared MP solution, measured by rheometer, selected 50 mm plate test, the MP emulsion under different treatment conditions uniformly spread on the test platform to eliminate air bubbles and film silicone oil sealing, the test parameters as follows

The energy storage modulus (G') was determined at a frequency of 0.1 Hz, a strain of 2%, a clamp spacing of 0.5 mm, a starting temperature of 20 ℃, a temperature increase rate of 1 ℃/min, and an ending temperature of 80 ℃.

 

1.4 Statistical analysis of data

Each experiment was repeated 3 times and the results were expressed as ± s . Data were analyzed statistically using the Linear Models program in SPSS 19.0 software, and the significance of differences was analyzed using the LSD method, with P < 0.05 considered significant. SigmaPlot 12.0 software was used for plotting.

 

2 Results and analysis

2.1 Effect of NaCl concentration and rosemary extract on MP structure

Proteins have a specific spatial structure in the natural state, and the tryptophan in proteins is buried in the internal hydrophobic environment, so the endogenous fluorescence intensity of tryptophan is higher and the fluorescence emission wavelength is shorter; however, in the case of partial unfolding, the fluorescence intensity of proteins decreases and the emission wavelength is shifted by a red shift [10]. As can be seen in Figure 1, the endogenous fluorescence intensity of the rosemary extract group and the control group did not change regularly with the increase of NaCl concentration, and the specific reason needs to be further investigated; when the NaCl concentration was 0.45 mol/L, the emission wavelength of tryptophan in the rosemary extract group was red-shifted from 332 nm to 334 nm, and the intensity of endogenous fluorescence was decreased compared with that in the control group.

 

The decrease in the endogenous fluorescence intensity of tryptophan could come from the partial de-helicalization of the rod tail of myosin [11] or from the structural changes in the head of myosin (the rod tail contributes only 27% of the total fluorescence intensity of myosin) [12-13]. (the contribution of the rod tails to the fluorescence intensity of myosin molecules is only 27% of the total amount) [12-13], and whether the MP tertiary structure changes induced by rosemary extracts originate from the head or the rod tails of myosin needs to be further confirmed. In addition, the polyphenols and terpenoids in rosemary extract [14] may also affect the endogenous fluorescence intensity of MP through a "shielding effect", which can be explained by the "hand and glove" model (some of the hydrophobic groups in the protein form a "glove", and some of the hydrophobes in the protein form a "glove", which can be used as a "shielding effect"). This effect can be explained by the "hand and glove" model (some hydrophobic groups in proteins form a "glove", while polyphenols bind to proteins through hydrogen bonding to form a "hand", and this shielding effect may lead to a decrease in fluorescence intensity[15] ). The "shielding effect" may also be reflected in the binding of phenolic substances in rosemary extract to proteins and adsorption on the surface of proteins, which may play a certain protective effect on proteins and lead to a decrease in fluorescence intensity [16].

 

2.2 Effect of NaCl concentration and rosemary extract on mass molar concentration of sulfhydryl groups

Sulfhydryl group is an important active group in MP, which can be easily oxidized to form disulfide bonds, causing intermolecular cross-linking and polymerization of proteins, and thus affecting the functional properties of proteins [17]. As shown in Figure 2, when the NaCl concentration was increased from 0.15 mol/L to 0.60 mol/L, the molar concentration of sulfhydryl groups in MP with or without rosemary extract did not change significantly (P0.05), indicating that increasing the ionic strength did not have a significant effect on the molar concentration of sulfhydryl groups in MP. At a certain NaCl concentration, the addition of rosemary extract resulted in a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the molar concentration of sulfhydryl groups compared with the control. This may be attributed to the fact that the main components of rosemary extract are salvia divinorum and salvia divinorum acid, both of which contain a sulfhydryl-binding site, resulting in a decrease in the sulfhydryl content.18-19 Prodpran et al.[20] obtained a similar result when investigating the effect of polyphenols on the total sulfhydryl content of MP in fish, i.e., phenolic compounds led to a decrease in the total sulfhydryl content, possibly due to the interaction between sulfhydryl and phenolic hydroxyl groups to form a more stable and stable sulfhydryl group. hydroxyl groups interact with each other to form a more stable conformation. In addition, high concentrations of green tea polyphenols can also form sulfhydryl-quinone adducts with MP sulfhydryl groups through covalent cross-linking, preventing the formation of stable disulfide bonds between proteins [21].

 

2.3 Effect of NaCl concentration and rosemary extract on gel strength

As can be seen in Figure 3, the gel strength of the MP+rosemary and MP groups did not change significantly (P0.05) when the NaCl concentration was increased from 0.15 mol/L to 0.60 mol/L.  (P0.05), but when the NaCl concentration increased from 0.15 mol/L to 0.60 mol/L, the gel strength of both groups increased significantly (P0.05). This is due to the fact that with the increase of NaCl concentration, the MP and NaCl ions interacted to form a double electron layer of ionic groups, which decreased the electrostatic interactions between MP molecules, increased the repulsive force between MP molecules, and enhanced the hydration, thus improving the gel properties [22-23]. In addition, the increase of repulsive force between MP molecules led to the swelling of MP and the increase of water holding capacity, which is consistent with the results of water retention [24]. When the NaCl concentration was 0.00 and 0.15 mol/L, the gel strength of the MP+rosemary group was not significantly different from that of the control group (P0.05), which may be attributed to the fact that the full play of the MP gel properties requires the provision of sufficient solubility, and the solubility of MP was poor when the NaCl concentration was low (0.00 and 0.15 mol/L).

 

Under the high solubility condition (0.45, 0.60 mol/L), rosemary extract could improve the gel strength of MP, but different results were obtained under different NaCl concentrations. The gel strength of the MP+rosemary group was significantly higher than that of the MP group at a NaCl concentration of 0.45 mol/L (P<0.05), which may be attributed to the fact that polyphenolic substances contained in rosemary extract could easily form o-benzoquinone or o-benzohemiquinone, which could react with the sulfhydryl groups and amino groups in protein by nucleophilic addition, resulting in the formation of C-N or C-Hexaquinone between protein and phenol. This may be due to the fact that under this condition, the polyphenols contained in the rosemary extract can easily form o-benzoquinone or o-benzoquinone, which can react with the sulfhydryl and amino groups in proteins in nucleophilic addition reactions, resulting in the formation of C-N or C-S covalent bonds between proteins and phenols [25-28]. The increase in ionic strength may have hindered the formation of some protein-polyphenol covalent bonds. It can be seen that the significant effect of rosemary extract on the gel strength was dependent on the specific NaCl concentration, and the specific reasons need to be further investigated.

 

2.4 Effect of NaCl concentration and rosemary extract on water retention of gels

As can be seen from Figure 4, when the NaCl concentration was increased from 0.00 mol/L to 0.15 mol/L, the water retention of the MP+rosemary group and the MP group did not change significantly (P0.05); as the NaCl concentration continued to increase up to 0.45 mol/L, the water retention of both groups increased significantly (P0.05); when the NaCl concentration continued to increase up to 0.60 mol/L, the water retention of the MP group still increased significantly (P0.05), while the MP+rosemary group did not increase significantly (P0.05), and the MP+rosemary group did not increase significantly (P0.05). 0.60 mol/L, the water retention of the MP group still increased significantly (P0.05), while the MP+rosemary group did not increase significantly (P0.05), and the MP+rosemary group did not increase significantly (P0.05).  (P0.05). There are two necessary conditions for retaining water inside meat: firstly, the meat contains space for water to exist, and secondly, it contains the force to maintain water. It has been demonstrated that the retention of water in meat is mainly dependent on the interactions between water molecules and proteins, such as hydrogen bonding, capillary forces, and dispersive forces[29] .

 

MP, as a structural protein in meat, provides space for water in the meat; the net negative charge of the protein forms a strong adsorption center, providing a force for water retention. The addition of appropriate amount of NaCl can significantly increase the ionic strength, effectively improve the gelation ability of MP, and make it form a uniform mesh structure. At the same time, with the increase of ionic strength, the net negative charge of MP increased, and the interaction between protein and protein molecules as well as between protein and water was strengthened, which resulted in the increase of the water-holding capacity of the protein in the protein space, and the enhancement of water retention performance[30-31] . Compared with the control group, the water retention of the MP+Rosemary group was significantly higher than that of the MP group at a NaCl concentration of 0.45 mol/L (P<0.05), and the difference was not significant at other NaCl concentrations (P>0.05). Under a certain ionic strength, the addition of a certain amount of rosemary extract could interact with MP and affect the interactions between protein molecules as well as between protein and water, which enhanced the gel formation ability and thus promoted the water holding capacity. In addition, the interaction between phenols and proteins can reduce the gaps between protein polymer chains, thus enhancing the gel structure and water holding capacity [32].

 

2.5 Effect of NaCl concentration and rosemary extract on rheological properties of MP gels

Rheological properties, as an important characteristic of MP gels, can reflect the quality of the gel. The energy storage modulus (G ' ) reflects the elasticity characteristics of MP gels, and the higher G ' , the stronger the ability to form gels [2]. As can be seen from Figure 5, when the NaCl concentrations were 0.00 and 0.15 mol/L, the G ' of MP+rosemary group and MP group did not show the typical "several" curves, which indicated that the MP failed to form a stable gel structure under these conditions. This is due to the fact that MP was not fully solubilized at low ionic strength, which resulted in weak gel formation and low G'. When the concentrations of NaCl were 0.45 and 0.60 mol/L, the G' gradually increased from 40 ℃ to 46 ℃, and reached the peak at 46 ℃, which was attributed to the beginning of the deconvolution of the α-helix structure of the head of myosin in this range, and the cross-linking of the head of myosin, and the beginning of the formation of the gel; and then, the G' began to decline from 46 ℃, which was attributed to the denaturation of myosin tail, and the stability of the protein was reduced, and the viscosity was reduced; and the G' continued to increase from 50 ℃. From 50 ℃ onwards, G' has been increasing, mainly because most of the myosin molecules may have unfolded into a random coil structure, which enhances the cross-linking between the proteins, thus producing a stable and irreversible gel structure[33-34] . At a certain NaCl concentration, especially at 0.45 mol/L, the G' was higher in the MP+delphinium group than in the MP group without the added extract, which may be attributed to the fact that the added rosemary extract interacted with the MP to create more binding sites and amide bonds, which increased the cross-linking density of the protein and phenol, resulting in the enhancement of the elasticity and viscosity [35-36].

 

3 CONCLUSIONS

Depending on the specific NaCl concentration (0.45 mol/L), the rosemary extract could effectively "compensate" for the adverse effects of salt reduction on the gel properties of MP. The phenolic acids and terpenes contained in the extract altered the tertiary structure of myosin, and this favorable partial de-helicalization could effectively improve the gel network structure of MP under salt reduction, which was the reason why the gel strength, energy storage modulus, and water retention of MP did not decrease significantly after salt reduction. The results of this study can provide a theoretical basis for the search of new NaCl substitutes.

Antioxidant Effect of Rosemary Extract Synergized with Chilling on Beef Meat

 Abstract: The antioxidant effects of different concentrations of rosemary extracts synergized with chilling on beef were investigated. The antioxidant effects of different concentrations of rosemary extract and chilled beef were investigated. The color difference values (L* and a*), drip loss, shear force, thiobarbituric acid value (TBARS) and sensory indexes were measured on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th days of the storage period using chilled beef, and the distilled water-soaked beef stored at 4 ℃ was taken as control 1, and the distilled water-soaked beef preserved in ice temperature was taken as control 2. The results showed that the beef treated with 0.15 % rosemary extract and chilling had excellent organoleptic properties on the 7th day of storage, with L* value of 36.49, a* value of 17.27, drip loss of 0.62 %, shear force of 4 429 g, TBARS value of 0.18 mg/100 g, and a significant antioxidant effect on chilled beef.

 


Cold beef is the beef that adopts scientific slaughtering process and is always maintained at 0℃~4℃ during storage, transportation and sale, which has the advantages of tenderness, juiciness, freshness, deliciousness, high protein, low fat, etc., and is safe and healthy, and has gradually become the main object of meat consumption in recent years. China is the world's third largest beef producer, but compared with the United States, Australia, New Zealand and other beef production powerhouses, the gap is very large, and the trade deficit is increasing year by year. Beef at 0 ℃ ~ 4 ℃ conditions can not completely inhibit the growth of microorganisms, so the shelf life is short. Especially during the storage period, it is easy to be affected by various external environmental factors, resulting in oxidation of lipids and proteins in beef and surface discoloration phenomenon, which directly affects its nutritional value and commercial value[1] , and meat color is an important sensory indicator for consumers to judge the freshness of meat[2] .

 

Therefore, the development of beef industry in China has been seriously restricted. How to control the color deterioration of chilled beef during storage and marketing has become a hot research point. Ice temperature preservation technology is known as the "third generation of preservation technology" [3], placing fresh beef in ice temperature conditions (above freezing point, below 0 ℃) has a significant effect on maintaining the nutrition, color and quality of beef. In addition, rosemary is a natural antioxidant, which not only has a good antioxidant effect, but also is safe and reliable. The synergistic effect of rosemary extract with chilled beef can be a good antioxidant, which is also in line with the natural and healthy dietary concepts of modern consumers.

 

In this paper, the antioxidant effects of different concentrations of rosemary extract and chilled beef were investigated. The color difference, drip loss, shear force, thiobarbituric acid value (TBARS), and sensory evaluation of the beef were determined for the beef soaked in distilled water and stored at 4 ℃ as control 1, and for the beef soaked in distilled water and preserved by chilling temperature as control 2, and the most suitable concentration for the antioxidant of beef was optimized. During the storage period, the color difference, drip loss, shear force, thiobarbituric acid value (TBARS) of beef were measured, and sensory evaluation was performed to optimize the concentration of rosemary extract that is most suitable for antioxidant oxidation of beef, which can effectively prolong the shelf-life of chilled beef, and to a certain extent, promote the application of chilled freshness technology in the preservation of meat to provide consumers with safe, tasty, and nutritious chilled beef to meet the market demand and to promote the further development of China's beef industry.

 

1 Materials and Methods 1.1 Materials and reagents

Beef: Yisai Beef Co., Ltd. of Henan Province, fully ripened after 72 h of acid exclusion, and the parts of cucumber strips were taken and packed, and transported to the laboratory at 4 ℃; rosemary: Shenzhen Hengsheng Biological Science and Technology Co. Ltd.

 

1.2 Instruments and equipment

Ltd.; 20629 Temperature Recorder: Delta Trak, USA; CR-400 Colorimeter: Konica Minolta Investment Co., Ltd., Japan; CT3 Mass Contouring Instrument: Brookfield, USA; BlueStar B Spectrophotometer: Beijing Laibertechnik Instruments Co: Ltd.; SHA-B Dual-function Water Bath Oscillator: Jintan Jierer Electric Appliance Co.

 

1.3 Methodology

1.3.1 Meat sample handling

The plates and knives were wiped and sterilized with alcohol cotton balls in a sterile room. The outer package of beef was opened and the surface fat, tendons and fascia were removed. In order to ensure the uniformity of the color of each piece of meat, the surface layer of the meat sample was cut off with a sterile knife, and the meat sample was divided into 72 rectangular pieces of 100 g. The meat samples were exposed to air for 45 min and set aside.

 

1.3.2 Preparation of rosemary solution

Dissolve rosemary extract in distilled water and stir well to make a solution of 200 mL, put it in a beaker. It is necessary to prepare it as it is used.

 

1.3.3 Study of antioxidant effect of different concentrations of rosemary extracts on beef

In the aseptic chamber, the treated beef cubes were divided into 6 groups of 12 cubes each. Four groups were immersed in different concentrations of rosemary extract solution for 1 min, then removed with sterilized tweezers, drained, and put into numbered plastic preservation boxes with lids for storage at -1.00 ℃. The changes of color difference, drip loss, shear force, TBARS and sensory indexes of the beef on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th days were measured. The antioxidant effect of rosemary extract in combination with chilling on beef was investigated by using distilled water-soaked beef (4 ℃) as control 1 and distilled water-soaked beef (-1.00 ℃) as control 2, and the antioxidant concentration of rosemary extract was selected as a suitable antioxidant concentration for beef. The experimental arrangement is shown in Table 1.

 

1.4 Detection indicators

1.4.1 Determination of freezing point

During the freezing process of beef, when the center temperature of beef drops to a temperature below 0 ℃, there will be a rebound, and stabilized at a certain temperature for a period of time, and then the temperature will continue to drop rapidly until freezing, the freezing point of beef that is the temperature[4] . Determination of freezing point is an important part of ice temperature preservation technology. The method was adopted from Sun Tianli et al[5] with slight modification. Fresh beef (cucumber strips) was cut into rectangles of about 100 g. The probe of the temperature recorder was inserted into the center of the beef, placed in the freezer at -18 ℃ and then taken out after freezing. The temperature recorder was removed and connected to a computer to obtain the curve of the temperature of the center of the beef as a function of time, so as to determine the freezing point temperature of the beef (cucumber strips).

 

1.4.2 Determination of color difference

The quality of chilled beef can be directly reflected by meat color. The method of Guo Xinying et al[6] was used for the determination of color difference with slight modification. The beef was cut into slices of 2.0 cm thickness along the muscle fiber direction, the surface moisture was absorbed by filter paper, and the slices were placed flat on the table, covered with a transparent plastic wrap, and the L* and a* values were measured by a colorimeter. According to NY/T 2793-2015 "Objective Evaluation Methods of Meat Quality" [7], beef with L* values between 30 and 45 and a* values between 10 and 25 were determined to be fresh.

 

1.4.3 Determination of drip loss

Drip loss is a very important economic indicator for chilled beef, and the larger the value, the poorer the water retention (water holding capacity) of the beef[8] . Water retention is an important index to evaluate the quality of chilled beef [9-10]. The oxidation and decomposition of muscle proteins during storage will affect the water retention. The water retention was determined by cutting the beef into pieces of 3 cm×1 cm×1 cm, drying the surface water with filter paper and weighing accurately as the mass before dripping. The meat was then covered with a plastic bag and hung by a string at the upper end in a chilled warehouse for 24 h. The meat was then removed, drained of surface water and weighed accurately as the post-drip mass. The difference between the two masses as a percentage of the pre-drip mass is the drip loss.

 

1.4.4 Determination of shear

Shear force is the degree of sustained resistance of beef to chewing [11] and is an indicator of beef tenderness expressed as hardness value. The method of Chen et al [12] was adopted with slight modification. Firstly, the fat, tendon and fascia on the surface of beef were removed, and the meat was cut into 3 cm×2 cm×1 cm strips, and the shear strength of the meat was measured by a texture meter.

Cutting force. TA-SBA shear blade fixture, TA7/TA-VBJ probe was used to determine the test speed of 1 mm/s, each sample was repeated 3 times, and the average value was taken.

 

1.4.5 Determination of TBARS values

Determination was carried out according to the second method of spectrophotometric method in GB 5009.181-2016 "Determination of malondialdehyde in foodstuffs, national standard for food safety" [13].

 

1.4.6 Sensory evaluation

The evaluation of the sensory indexes of beef on the 7th day of storage was based on GB/T 17238-2008 "Fresh and Frozen Split Beef" [14], with reference to the scoring scale developed by Sun Kaixuan et al [15] with slight modification, and the evaluation team consisted of 8 food professionals, and a 10-point scale was used. The sensory scoring criteria of beef are shown in Table 2.

 

1.5 Data analysis

Each test was repeated three times, and the results were expressed as mean ± SD. The graphs were plotted using Sigmaplot13.0, and the statistical analysis of the data was performed using the t-test for independent samples in comparing the means in SPSS Statistics 20.0 statistical analysis software, and the level of significance of the differences was 0.05. The data were analyzed using the t-test for independent samples in comparing the means in SPSS Statistics 20.0 statistical analysis software.

 

2 Results and analysis 2.1 Freezing point of beef

The curve of beef center temperature versus time is shown in Figure 1.

As can be seen from Fig. 1, after the beef was put into the freezer, with the extension of time, the center temperature of the beef decreased gradually, when the center temperature of the beef reached -1.13 ℃, it was maintained for 2 min and then slightly rebounded to -1.11 ℃, and the temperature was maintained for the longest time of about 14 min, then the center temperature of the beef began to decrease slowly, and began to decrease rapidly when the temperature was reduced to -1.14 ℃, which indicated that the freezing point temperature of the meat sample was about -1.11 ℃. This indicates that the freezing point temperature of the meat sample is about -1.11 ℃. Therefore, -1.00 ℃ was selected as the temperature of ice temperature preservation in this experiment.

 

2.2 Study of antioxidant effect of different concentrations of rosemary extracts on beef

2.2.1 Effect of different concentrations of rosemary extract on color difference values of beef

The effects of different concentrations of rosemary extract on L* and a* of beef are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

As shown in Table 3, with the extension of storage time, the L* value of beef in each treatment group basically showed a gradual decline, and the L* value of beef in control 1 declined the fastest (p<0.05). The difference between the L* values of beef in control 1 and control 2 was not significant (p>0.05) in the first 3 days, but it was significantly lower than that of control 2 on the 5th day (p<0.05), and it was already lower than 30 as not fresh meat, which indicated that ice temperature preservation was effective in maintaining the brightness of beef.

 

The difference between the L* values of beef in the rosemary treatment group at 0.05% and control 2 was not significant; the difference between the L* value of beef in the rosemary treatment group at 0.10% was significant from the 3rd day onwards; and the difference between the L* value and control 2 was not significant. The L* values of beef in the 0.10 % rosemary-treated group were significantly lower than those of control 2 from day 3 onwards (p<0.05); the L* values of beef in the 0.15 % rosemary-treated group were not significantly different from those of the 0.20 % rosemary-treated group (p>0.05), and were significantly higher than those of the other treatment groups (p<0.05).

 

As shown in Table 4, with the prolongation of storage time, the a* of meat samples of different treatment groups showed a decreasing trend. a* of beef in control 1 group was close to 10 on the 5th day of storage, and decreased to 8.98 on the 7th day. The a* of beef in control 1 group was close to 10 on the 5th day of storage, and then decreased to 8.98 on the 7th day, while the a* of beef in control 2 group was significantly better than that of control 1, except for the 3rd day, the difference was significant (p<0.05), the difference was highly significant (p<0.01) in all other storage periods, which indicated that the oxidation of myoglobin was effectively retarded under the condition of freezing, and it played a good inhibiting effect on the formation of high ferric myoglobin. The results indicated that the oxidation of myoglobin was effectively delayed under ice temperature, and the formation of high iron myoglobin was inhibited.  The a* values of beef in the first 3 days in the 0.05% and 0.10% dieffenbach treatment groups were not significantly different from those of the control group (p>0.05) because of the low concentration of dieffenbach and the high content of oxygen in the box at the beginning of the storage period, which resulted in the low antioxidant effect.

 

 The a* of beef increased significantly (p<0.05) when the concentration of rosemary was increased to 0.15 %, and was 17.27 at day 7, which is attributed to the fact that rosemary is considered to be one of the plants with the highest content of antioxidants [16], which is capable of maintaining the bright red color of meat by inhibiting the formation of trivalent iron in myoglobin [17], and it has a potent inhibitory effect on oxidization of a variety of complex lipoid species. The increase in a* of beef was not significant (p>0.05) when the concentration of rosemary was increased to 0.20 %.

 

2.2.2 Effect of different concentrations of rosemary extract on drip loss in beef

The effect of different concentrations of rosemary extract on drip loss of beef is shown in Figure 2.

As shown in Figure 2, the drip loss of beef in each treatment group gradually increased with the extension of storage time. The dripping loss of beef in control group 1 increased the fastest (p<0.05), because the change of muscle water holding capacity is related to temperature, protein hydrolysis degree, pH value and other factors [11], 4 ℃ can not completely inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms, and their secretion of protease caused muscle protein hydrolysis to reduce the water holding capacity.

 

The drip loss of beef in control 2 was significantly lower than that in control 1 (p<0.05), because the ice temperature effectively inhibited the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms, which had a good effect on the hydrolysis of muscle proteins. The drip loss of beef in the rosemary-treated group was lower than that in the control group from day 3 onwards, especially in the 0.15 % and 0.20 % rosemary-treated groups (p>0.05), and was significantly lower than that in the other treatment groups (p<0.05), due to the obvious antibacterial effect of rosemary extract [18-19], mainly due to the diterpene phenolics being able to effectively change the permeability of bacterial cell membranes [19]. The main reason was that the diterpene phenolic compounds were able to effectively change the permeability of bacterial cell membranes and play an antibacterial effect [20], and its active ingredient rosemarinic acid also had a certain bacterial inhibition, which could effectively slow down the hydrolysis of muscle proteins, and maintain a certain degree of water-holding capacity of muscle.

 

2.2.3 Effect of different concentrations of rosemary extracts on beef shear force

The effect of different concentrations of rosemary extract on beef shear force is shown in Fig. 3.

As shown in Figure 3, the hardness of beef with different concentrations of rosemary increased and then decreased with the extension of storage time, because the texture of muscle is related to the state of water, fat and protein, and the gel network structure of protein is able to lock the water and fat. The texture of muscle changes with hydrolysis of proteins and oxidation of proteins and fats [21]. The shear of beef in control group 2 was significantly smaller than that in control group 1 (p<0.05), indicating that ice temperature preservation was better than 4 ℃ preservation.

 

As the concentration of rosemary increased, the antioxidant effect was gradually strengthened, which was very effective in maintaining the texture of beef, especially the shear force was significantly reduced in the 0.15 % and 0.20 % rosemary treatment groups (p<0.05), which was attributed to the fact that the plant extract could improve the texture of meat by inhibiting the oxidation of fat and protein [22]; in addition, the acidic components of rosemary extract could also maintain the pH value of beef to a certain extent [23], which increased the expansion of myosin and improved the texture of beef. In addition, the acidic component of rosemary extract can maintain the pH value of beef to a certain extent [23], and improve the texture of beef by increasing the expansion of muscle proteins.

 

2.2.4 Effect of different concentrations of rosemary extract on TBARS value of beef

The effect of different concentrations of rosemary extract on TBARS values of beef is shown in Figure 4.

 

2.2.5 Effects of different concentrations of rosemary extract on sensory indexes of beef

The effects of different concentrations of rosemary extract on the sensory parameters of beef are shown in Table 5.

As shown in Table 5, the sensory scores of control 1 beef were significantly lower than those of other groups (p<0.05), indicating that the beef was corrupted due to the oxidation of lipids and proteins as well as microbial growth and reproduction on the 7th day of storage at 4 ℃; in addition, the unstable decomposition of some fat oxidation products would produce volatile components and affect the odor of the beef [23]; and at the same time, the effect of iced preservation was good in delaying the deterioration of the sensory characteristics of beef. At the same time, it also shows that ice temperature preservation has a good effect on delaying the deterioration of sensory characteristics of beef.

 

In terms of meat color and odor, the rosemary-treated group was significantly better than control 2, indicating that rosemary extract was effective in inhibiting the oxidation of myoglobin and maintaining the color and odor of the meat, especially in the 0.15 % rosemary-treated group, which had the best color (p<0.05), while the color of the beef was significantly deteriorated in the rosemary-treated group at the concentration of 0.20 % (p<0.05), because the rosemary solution was pale yellow in color and the high concentration would affect the color of the meat. The color of beef was significantly (p<0.05) worse when the rosemary concentration reached 0.20%, because the rosemary solution was light yellow and the high concentration would affect the meat color; the odor of beef in the 0.15% and 0.20% rosemary treatment groups did not differ significantly (p>0.05) and was better than that in the other treatment groups, because the rosemary extracts had a certain aromatic odor.

 

In terms of viscosity, there was no significant difference between the 0.05 and 0.10 % rosemary treatment groups and control 2 (p>0.05), while the 0.15 and 0.20 % rosemary treatment groups showed no significant difference in scores (p>0.05) and were significantly higher than the other treatment groups (p<0.05). In terms of juice volume, the rosemary-treated group was significantly better than control 2 (p<0.05) due to the antioxidant effect of rosemary extract on lipids and proteins, which effectively improved the water retention of beef; the increase in the scores was no longer significant when the concentration of rosemary was greater than 0.10 % (p>0.05).

 

3 Conclusion

Modern people pursue health and advocate natural food. The safety of synthetic antioxidants is of great concern, while natural antioxidants are characterized by high antioxidant performance, safety and health. Rosemary extract has been recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a "Public Safety Food". Rosemary extract is a safe and efficient radical scavenger, which can effectively prevent the oxidation of lipids in beef, preventing the deterioration of meat color caused by oxidation, and its antioxidant effect is two to four times higher than that of the synthetic antioxidants tert-butyl hydroxyanisole and 2,6-di(tert-butylhydroxyanisole) and one to two times higher than that of tert-butylhydroquinone.

 

In this experiment, the antioxidant treatment of beef was carried out by using different concentrations of rosemary extract in combination with ice temperature preservation. The concentration of rosemary extract was selected as 0.15 % for beef antioxidant treatment through the determination of color difference (L* and a* values), drip loss, shear force and TBARS value of the beef during the storage period, as well as the evaluation of sensory indicators of the beef on the 7th day of storage. The L* value was 36.49, the a* value was 17.27, the drip loss was 0.62%, the shear force was 4 429 g, and the TBARS value was 0.18 mg/100 g. Therefore, the antioxidant effect of rosemary extract with chilling on chilled beef is very good, and it has a certain effect on improving the quality of beef.
