Abstract

Research shows that the fatty acid composition of beef contributes to its nutritional value and oxidative stability. Unsaturated fatty acids are more vulnerable to peroxidation, because of the length and number of carbon-hydrogen bonds. Beef that contains these fatty acids, at various concentrations, will oxidise at different rates and this will affect the profile of volatile organic compounds that are generated upon cooking. The olfactory sensors of a consumer will detect changes to the volatile organic compounds, released with mastication, and use this to inform an individual's liking of beef flavour. This study aimed to determine the relationship between major fatty acid groups and consumer liking of beef flavour. It was hypothesised that beef with higher concentrations of poly- and monounsaturated fatty acids will be less acceptable to Australian consumers, in terms of their liking of flavour.

OtherON BEHALF OF THE AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATION OF ANIMAL SCIENCES, WE INVITE YOU TO CAIRNS AND THE 34TH AAAS CONFERENCE: ANCHORING KNOWLEDGE, EXPLORING THE ANIMAL SCIENCE ECOSYSTEMS.
For science to have an impact – for knowledge to be anchored – it needs to be ratified, shared, applied and reviewed. The 2022 AAAS conference program is being thoughtfully prepared entice innovation and blue-sky thinking, and to pull our knowledge and expertise together to make our science impactful to all animal industries. We are not only at the cutting edge of animal science, but we are also in a unique position to help shape the future direction of agricultural and ecological services.


Join us in Cairns for thought-provoking keynote speakers, tropically-enhanced networking, and field tours that showcase two UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Wet Tropics Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.
