The effect of encapsulated active principles (eugenol, thymol and vanillin) and clove and rosemary essential oils on the structure, collagen content, chemical composition and fatty acid profile of Nellore heifers muscle.
Meat Science 2019 April 26
The objective of the present experiment was to evaluate the effects of encapsuled active principles (eugenol, thymol and vanillin blend), and clove and rosemary essential oils inclusion into the finishing diets of Nellore heifers on chemical composition, collagen content, fatty acid profile and structural traits (fibers types, type I and III collagen and sarcomere length) of longissimus muscle. Treatments had no effect (P > .05) on type of fiber, the meat chemical composition or in the muscle fatty acid profile. However, the diet with clove and rosemary essential oil and the active principle blend led to an increase in sarcomere length, higher soluble collagen content and a lower amount of type III collagen (P < .05). The mixture of both active principles and essential oils clove and cinnamon essential oil, have a potential use in animal feed, favoring a greater sarcomere length, that is directly related to the increase of the meat tenderness, without altering the meat chemical composition or fatty acid profile.
