摘要:

旨在研究不同日龄宁乡猪肌肉的脂质与挥发性有机化合物(volatile organic compound, VOC),比较不同日龄间的差异特性,并分析脂质与VOCs的相关性。本研究选取36头健康1日龄宁乡猪为试验对象,平均活重(0.98±0.09)kg,随机分成6组,每组6头,公母各半,各组分别饲养至60、120、180、240、300和360 d进行屠宰。屠宰后取左胴背最长肌样品,测定肌肉品质,运用高效液相色谱-质谱技术进行脂质组学分析,运用气相色谱-离子迁移谱联用(GC-IMS)技术进行风味组学分析。结果表明:宁乡猪60、120 d肌肉pH显著低于360 d(P < 0.05);宁乡猪肉色L*值从240 d后显著减小(P < 0.05),b*值从180 d后逐渐下降,60 d、120 d的a*值显著低于其它日龄(P < 0.05);60 d剪切力显著低于其它日龄组(P < 0.05),其它日龄组无显著差异(P>0.05);滴水损失在240 d显著降低(P < 0.05),随后日龄组无显著差异;肌内脂肪(IMF)含量随着日龄增长而增加,在240 d显著增加(P < 0.05),随后IMF含量无显著差异。脂质组学鉴定到55个脂质亚类,共1 841个脂质分子;主成分分析(PCA)和偏最小二乘判别分析(PLS-DA)显示不同日龄组脂质可明显区分;生长期间,主要差异脂质甘油三酯(TG)、醚联磷脂酰胆碱(EtherPC)、醚联磷脂酰乙醇胺(EtherPE)、磷脂酰胆碱(PC)、甘油二酯(DG)、酰基肉碱(CAR)和鞘磷脂(SM)的百分含量峰值或谷值均在240 d;确定了50个潜在标志脂质(VIP>1, P < 0.05),主要为PC、磷脂酰乙醇胺(PE)等磷脂,以及TG、脂肪酸(FA)、DG等亚类;富集到7条脂质代谢通路,其中甘油磷脂代谢通路最重要,其次为鞘脂代谢和醚脂代谢。60~360 d不同日龄组风味组学依次鉴定到24、31、34、57、37和36种已知VOCs,建立了不同日龄肌肉VOCs指纹图谱,不同日龄可明显区分,明确了癸醛、壬醛、己醛、1-戊烯-3-酮、1-辛烯-3-醇、乙酸乙酯和甲硫基丙醛等19种关键挥发性风味物质。脂质与VOCs相关性分析显示,磷脂、甘油酯与VOCs的相关性较强。宁乡猪随日龄增长,肉色越来越鲜红,从240 d开始肌肉持水性能更佳;TG、PC和PE可能是VOCs形成的关键脂质;确定240 d为肌肉风味品质的“窗口期”,本研究可为猪肉风味品质调控和优化屠宰日龄提供科学依据。

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the lipid and volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles in the longissimus dorsi muscle of Ningxiang pigs across different growth stages and to analyze the correlation between lipids and VOCs.Thirty-six healthy one-day-old Ningxiang pigs (average live weight: 0.98±0.09 kg) were randomly allocated to 6 groups (n=6 per group, 1∶1 of male: female ratio). Each group was raised for 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, or 360 days prior to slaughter, respectively. Post-slaughter, samples of the left longissimus dorsi were collected for meat quality assessment. Lipid profiles were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), and VOC profiles were analyzed using gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). The results indicated: Meat pH at 60 and 120 days was significantly lower than at 360 days (P < 0.05). The L* value (lightness) of meat color significantly decreased after 240 days (P < 0.05), while the b* value (yellowness) gradually decreased after 180 days. The a* value (redness) at 60 and 120 days was significantly lower than at other ages (P < 0.05). Shear force (indicating tenderness) was significantly lower at 60 days compared to other ages (P < 0.05), with no significant differences among other age groups (P>0.05). Drip loss significantly decreased at 240 days (P < 0.05) and remained stable thereafter. Intramuscular fat (IMF) content increased with age, showing a significant increase at 240 days (P < 0.05), with no significant differences observed in subsequent age groups. Lipidomics analysis identified 55 lipid subclasses comprising 1 841 lipid molecules. Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) revealed clear differentiation of lipid profiles among age groups. During the growth period, the peaks or troughs in the percentage contents of major differential lipid subclasses (triglycerides (TG), ether-linked phosphatidylcholine (EtherPC), ether-linked phosphatidylethanolamine (EtherPE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), diglycerides (DG), acylcarnitine (CAR), and sphingomyelin (SM)) all occurred at 240 d. Fifty potential lipid biomarkers (variable importance in projection (VIP) >1, P < 0.05) were identified, primarily phospholipids (PC, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)), along with TG, fatty acids (FA), and DG. Enrichment analysis highlighted 7 lipid metabolic pathways, with glycerophospholipid metabolism being the most significant, followed by sphingolipid and ether lipid metabolism. Flavoromics analysis identified 24, 31, 34, 57, 37, and 36 known VOCs in the 60-, 120-, 180-, 240-, 300-, and 360-day groups, respectively. VOC fingerprinting and PCA demonstrated distinct VOC profiles for each age group. Nineteen key volatile flavor compounds were identified, including decanal, nonanal, hexanal, 1-penten-3-one, 1-octen-3-ol, ethyl acetate, and methional. Correlation analysis revealed strong associations between VOCs and phospholipids/glycerides. As Ningxiang pigs aged, their meat color became increasingly bright red, and water-holding capacity improved significantly from 240 days. TG, PC, and PE were identified as key lipids potentially involved in VOC formation. The 240-day stage was determined to be the "window period" for optimal muscle flavor quality. This study provides a scientific basis for regulating pork flavor quality and optimizing the slaughter age of Ningxiang pigs.
