The objective of this study was to determine the effect of palm and/or linseed oil (LSO) supplementation on carcass quality, sensory evaluation and fatty acid profile of beef from crossbred Wagyu beef steers. Twenty four fattening Wagyu crossbred beef steers (50% Wagyu), averaging $640{\pm}18kg$ live weight (LW) and approximately 30 mo old, were stratified and randomly assigned in completely randomized design into 3 treatment groups. All steers were fed approximately 7 kg/d of 14% crude protein concentrate with ad libitum rice straw and had free access to clean water and were individually housed in a free-stall unit. The treatments were i) control concentrate plus 200 g/d of palm oil; ii) control concentrate plus 100 g/d of palm oil and 100 g/d of LSO, iii) control concentrate plus 200 g/d of LSO. This present study demonstrated that supplementation of LSO rich in C18:3n-3 did not influence feed intakes, LW changes, carcass and muscle characteristics, sensory and physical properties. LSO increased C18:3n-3, C22:6n-3, and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), however, it decreased C18:1t-11, C18:2n-6, cis-9, trans-11, and trans-10,cis-12 conjugated linoleic acids, n-6 PUFA and n-6:n-3 ratio in Longissimus dorsi and Semimembranosus muscles.

쇠고기는 고품질의 단백질과 함께 비타민과 광물질을 공급해 주지만, 포화지방산과 콜레스테롤 때문에 일부 소비자들은 부정적인 이미지를 지니고 있다. 쇠고기내 과다한 지방, 특히 콜레스테롤,은 사람의 건강과 불가분의 관계를 지니며, 심장병과 고혈압을 비롯한 각종 대사성 질환의 주요 원인이다. 그러나, 한우 쇠고기내 콜레스테롤 함량에 관한 기초자료는 매우 제한되어 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 한우, 앵거스, 및 화우 교잡종의 등심내 콜레스테롤 함량과 지방산 조성에 대한 비교 자료를 제공하고자, 61두의 한우와 각 15두의 앵거스 및 화우 교잡종 거세우로부터 등심을 채취하여 콜레스테롤 함량과 지방산 조성을 분석하였다. 한우의 등심내 콜레스테롤 함량은 32.36mg/100g 부터 75.42mg/100g까지 개체별로 광범위한 분포를 나타내었으며, 근내지방도가 “1”에서 “8”로 증가함에 따라 콜레스테롤 함량이 평균 42.76±1.41mg/100g에서 51.43±6.12mg/100g으로 증가하였다. 앵거스 거세우의 경우, 근내지방도가 가장 낮은 “Practically devoid”의 경우 56.84 mg/100g, 근내지방도가 가장 높은 “Abundant”의 경우 72.85 mg/100g을 나타내어, 근내지방도가 증가할수록 콜레스테롤 함량이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 화우 교잡종 거세우의 경우, “Practically devoid”는 69.23mg/100g, “Moderately Abundant”는 78.93 mg/100g을 나타내어 전체적으로 앵거스 거세우와 하였다. 한우, 앵거스 및 화우 교잡종의 등심내 불포화지방산:포화지방산 및 단가불포화지방산:포화지방산의 비율이 각각 1.48, 1.08 및 1.17과 1.41, 1.03 및 1.10을 나타내어, 한우 거세우에서 현저하게(각각 P< 0.0135 및 P<0.0379) 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면, 한우 거세우는 앵거스나 화우 교잡종 거세우 등심에 비하여 콜레스테롤 함량과 포화지방산의 비율이 현저하게 낮은 반면, 불포화지방산의 비율은 유의하게 높았다. 그러나, 향후 이들 육우의 유전적 배경, 사양 조건, 출하월령, 출하두수 및 샘플링 부위 등을 종합적으로 고려한 후속 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Objective: Meat quality attributes in postmortem muscle tissues depend on skeletal muscle metabolites. The objective of this study was to determine the key metabolic compounds and pathways that are associated with postmortem aging and beef quality in Japanese Black cattle (JB; a Japanese Wagyu breed with highly marbled beef). Methods: Lean portions of Longissimus thoracis (LT: loin) muscle in 3 JB steers were collected at 0, 1, and 14 days after slaughter. The metabolomic profiles of the samples were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry, followed by statistical and multivariate analyses with bioinformatics resources. Results: Among the total 171 annotated compounds, the contents of gluconic acid, gluconolactone, spermidine, and the nutritionally vital substances (choline, thiamine, and nicotinamide) were elevated through the course of postmortem aging. The contents of glycolytic compounds increased along with the generation of lactic acid as the beef aging progressed. Moreover, the contents of several dipeptides and 16 amino acids, including glutamate and aromatic and branched-chain amino acids, were elevated over time, suggesting postmortem protein degradation in the muscle. Adenosine triphosphate degradation also progressed, resulting in the generation of inosine, xanthine, and hypoxanthine via the temporal increase in inosine 5'-monophosphate. Cysteine-glutathione disulfide, thiamine, and choline increased over time during the postmortem muscle aging. In the Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes database, a bioinformatics resource, the postmortem metabolomic changes in LT muscle were characterized as pathways mainly related to protein digestion, glycolysis, citric acid cycle, pyruvate metabolism, pentose phosphate metabolism, nicotinamide metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, purine metabolism, and glutathione metabolism. Conclusion: The compounds accumulating in aged beef were shown to be nutritionally vital substances and flavor components, as well as potential useful biomarkers of aging. The present metabolomic data during postmortem aging contribute to further understanding of the beef quality of JB and other breeds.

Regarding the fattening of younger cattle that the Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) recommends in Japan, this study looked at vitamin A control in feed and blood and its effect on performance of production and carcass composition of Wagyu steers. Five sets from 10 Wagyu artificial identical twins were divided to into 2 groups, a restricted group (Test) and a supplied group (Control). The body weight at the finishing time of the Test was significantly lower than that of the Control (p<0.05). The daily gain from 13 to 21 months old, as the animals in the Test were fed the concentrated feed without Vitamin A, was significantly different (p<0.05) between the Test and the Control. The total daily gains for the Test and the Control for the fattening period were 0.82 kg/day and 0.93 kg/day, respectively, which showed a significant difference (p<0.01). Regarding the rib thickness, the Test was thinner than the Control. The Beef Marbling Scores of the Test and Control were 3.60 and 2.80, respectively. The muscle weight of the Test was significantly smaller than that of the Control (p<0.01). However, regarding the ratio to the carcass, the Test was significantly higher than the Control (p<0.05). For the fat weight, the Test was smaller by about 15 kg than the Control (p<0.01). Furthermore, for the fat ratio to the carcass, the Test was significantly lower than the Control (p<0.05). The bone weights of the two groups were approximately the same. Regarding the ratio of bone to carcass, the Test was higher than the Control (p<0.01). For the younger fattening method, the low level vitamin A in the serum had the effect that the muscle ratio to the carcass weight was greater and the fat was less, but the carcass and muscle weight were less.
