Effect of Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides on the physicochemical properties of catfish surimi and myofibrillar protein oxidation during frozen storage

mycolabadmin

Researchers discovered that mushroom polysaccharides extracted from Flammulina velutipes roots can protect fish surimi (a protein product used in food manufacturing) during frozen storage. When added to surimi at 2% concentration, these natural mushroom extracts prevented protein damage and maintained product quality just as well as traditional chemical preservatives, but without the added sweetness or calories. This finding suggests that mushroom-based compounds could offer a healthier alternative for preserving frozen food products.

Effects of Slaughter Age on the Quality of Gannan Yak Meat: Analysis of Edible Quality, Nutritional Value, and GC × GC-ToF-MS of the Longissimus Dorsi Muscle

mycolabadmin

This study examined how the age at which yaks are slaughtered affects meat quality. Young yaks slaughtered between 2-4 years produced the most tender, juicy meat with the best flavor and highest nutritional value. Older yaks (6-8 years) had tougher, drier meat with less desirable fatty acid profiles. The findings suggest that slaughtering yaks at 2-4 years of age produces superior quality meat for consumers.
