Results on the applicability of HXT on meat and its effect on product quality.

Extract Form Concentration (ppm) Meat Product Test Setup Tested Parameters Results Reference
Commercial 10,000
30,000
Ground beef patties Ground beef was mixed with extract and inoculated with E. coli (107 cfu/g). Uniform patties were formed, cooked and shock-cooled. Total viable count It was enhanced cell count reduction (3% survivors detectable) [53]
Amine quantification Reduction of amine formation (50.6%)
Commercial 100 Pork meat with W1/O/W2 emulsions Ground pork meat and fat were mixed with W1/O/W2 emulsions and chia oil. Emulsions were vacuum packaged and keep in chilled storage (4 °C) until analyses on the 1st, 7th, 19th, 28th and 39th days. Light microscopy Particle size in samples with HXT was higher (p < 0.05) [54]
Antioxidant activity: DPPH Chia oil presence in meat samples increased oxidation, however, HXT acted as antioxidant (8%).
Lipid oxidation (TBARs) HXT presence in meat samples reduced lipid oxidation by more than 50%.
Concentrate 100.23 Fermented sausages During the drying process fermented sausages were dipped in extract solutions (2.5–5%) for 1 min at 20 °C and were continued drying. Total viable count No differences [55]
Lactic acid bacteria No differences
Micrococci Growth reduction affected volatile compound profile
Yeast No significant differences
Moulds Reduction of species
pH No significant differences
Water activity No significant differences
Lipid oxidation (TBARs) Reduced values (12–38%)
Volatile compounds Reduces volatile compounds from microbial esterification and lipid oxidation
Sensory attributes (colour) Redness increased
Commercial 100, 200, 400 Lamb meat patties Minced lamb meat enriched in omega-3 fatty acids (with fish oil) was mixed with natural extracts and stored in high-oxygen modified atmosphere packs for up to 9 days at 4 °C. In vitro antioxidant activity (ORAC and FRAP) ORAC: No significant differences [56]
FRAP: antioxidant activity increases with extract presence
Colour (CIELab) Lightness (L*) increased in samples without extract by changes in muscle proteins.
Significant differences between samples at day 3, 6 and 9 of storage.
Lipid oxidation (TBARs) No significant differences
Protein oxidation (thiol and carbonyl groups) Natural extracts improvement texture but it alteration odour and flavour.
Sensory analysis
Concentrated, undefined 75, 150 Pork sausages Ground pork (50/50 - meat/fat) was minced and mixed with salt and phenols. Mix was stuffed into 40-mm diameter bovine casings, were left to drip at 15 °C for 6 h and stored without packaging alternating fluorescent light (12 h dark and 12 h light) at 2 °C for 14 days. After, sausages were cooked, stored 72 h at 4 °C and frozen until analysis (80 °C) Nutritional composition No differences [57]
pH No differences
Cooking loss No differences
Diacylglycerols Phenols had an inhibitory effect on microorganisms and a reduction in lipolytic activity.
Lipid oxidation (TBARs) Oxidation was reduced (>40%) as TBARs as POV. But there are no differences in COPs.
Peroxide value (POV)
Cholesterol oxidation products (COPs)
Sensory analysis Phenols presence was valorated worst by panellists.
Commercial
1. HXT 23% from olive waters
2. HXT 7% from olive leaves
3. HXT 7% from olive waters
50 Chicken sausages Pork fat and chicken meat were minced and mixed with walnuts, EVOO and three HXT extracts. Samples were cooked for 3 h at 72 °C, packaged in MAP (10% O2/20% CO2/10% N2) and stored at 4 °C for 21 days. Nutritional composition No differences [21]
Colour (CIELab) L* and b* were lower in samples with HXT and EVOO, while a* was higher
Cooking loss Cooking loss values were higher in samples with HXT
Lipid oxidation (TBARs) In samples with HXT TBARs value was lower and in samples with HXT and EVOO, lipid oxidation was 71% lower than control.
Protein oxidation (thiol groups) HXT reduced protein oxidation between 13–25%.
Scanning electron microscopy Sausages incorporated HXT showed different structures.
Sensory analysis Samples with HXT 7% from olive water was accepted, while other samples with HXT presented lowest acceptability.
Commercial, 7% from olive waters 50 Chicken Frankfurters Back fat and chicken meat were minced and mixed with walnuts, EVOO and HXT. Samples were cooked for 3 h at 72 °C, packaged in MAP (10% O2/20% CO2/10% N2) and stored at 4 °C for 21 days. Nutritional composition No differences [20]
Mineral content Ca, K, Fe, Mg, P, Mn and Zn concentrations were higher in samples with HXT.
No differences
Fatty acid profile. Sensory analysis Extracted flavour and odour parameters were increased in samples with HXT but it was accepted by panellists.
Olive cake applied in chicken feed 4.6
9.5
Chicken meat 297 chickens were feeding until 21 days of age with three treatments: basal diet, diet supplemented with 82.5 g/kg olive phenols and diet supplemented with 165 g/kg olive phenols. Chickens were weighed at 28, 35 and 42 days of age and slaughtered at 42th. Carcasses were maintained at −20 °C for three months until consumption and at −80 °C for other analyses. Chicken weight The chicken weight was higher [58]
Colour (CIELab) L* and b* was higher while a* was lower
Cooking loss No differences
Nutritional composition No differences
pH No differences
Lipid oxidation (TBARs) Lipid oxidation was lower
Antioxidant capacity (DPPH) Samples with HXT showed a high antioxidant capacity
Sensory analysis No differences, so HXT did not alter the sensory quality.
