| 8 | Meat Quality Parameters and the Effects of Stress: A Review显示文摘The objective of this review was to address the stress effects on meat quality considering the main attributes that involve meat quality.Animal protein production has been increasing with global demand for meat with meat quality a major concern,especially for more demanding consumers who are looking for quality products to meet their needs.The quality of the meat is the result of what happened to the animal throughout the production chain,that is,good rearing conditions result in a better meat quality.Different types of stress can be harmful to animals due to inadequate or improper animal handling on farms,inadequate transport conditions,poorly maintained trucks and roads,and conditions that agitate animals can lead to bruising,thermal stress.The stress in animals occurs when they are in adverse conditions and can significantly compromise meat quality loss.As an example,stress can significantly affect meat quality parameters as drip loss(DL),meat color,change ultimate pH and cause meat anomalies.Among the main parameters of evaluation used for meat quality are color,characterized by luminosity(L^*,a^*,b^*),lipid and protein oxidation,pH,water holding capacity(WHC)and softness.Producing and processing high-quality meat is a challenge since it is necessary to apply methods that promote comfort in a complete sense,in a way that minimizes inducing significant stress.Based on the results presented it is remarkable that stress alters the meat quality,compromising the main attributes that involve it,like color,pH,WHC,Warner-Bratzler shear force(WBSF),lipid oxidation,among others andis necessary to avoid or reduce stress caused during the production of the animals to ensure a high-quality meat,resulting in greater profitability for the producer. | Tatiany Carvalho dos Santos Richard Stephen Gates Cecília de Fátima Souza Ilda de Fátima Ferreira Tinoco Márcia Gabrielle Lima Candidoand Letícia Cibele da Silva Ramos Freitas | 2019 | Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology(B)2019，9，5： | 0 |
