Effects of Salicornia Extract on the Quality, Shelf-Life, and Functional Properties of Beef Patties During Refrigerated Storage
Source abstract
Abstract
Clean-label preservation of beef patties remains challenging due to rapid oxidative and microbiological spoilage during refrigeration. Incorporating Salicornia extract yielded clear, dose-dependent quality gains over 15 days at 4 ± 1 °C. Relative to the control, 1.5% Salicornia lowered secondary lipid oxidation by 42% (TBARS: 1.15 vs. 1.98 mg MDA/kg) and primary oxidation by 33% (PV: 3.30 vs. 4.95 meq O2/kg), while maintaining a substantially higher antioxidant status (TPC: 20.6 vs. 6.8 mg GAE/100 g; DPPH: 45.8% vs. 14.5%). Microbiological loads were attenuated (SPC: 4.88 vs. 6.20 log CFU/g; psychrotrophs: 1.46 vs. 2.00 log CFU/g; yeasts/molds: 1.44 vs. 1.74 log CFU/g), accompanied by moderated physicochemical drift (pH: 6.16 vs. 5.86; a_w: 0.847 vs. 0.828). Color retention was markedly improved, with higher redness and lower overall discoloration (a*: 13.6 vs. 9.8; ΔE*: 3.96 vs. 9.13). The 1.0% treatment showed intermediate benefits, indicating a robust dose response. Collectively, these outcomes demonstrate that 1.0–1.5% Salicornia delivers multifaceted protection, limiting lipid oxidation, curbing microbial growth, preserving color, and stabilizing matrix attributes, thereby extending the refrigerated shelf-life of beef patties and supporting clean-label reformulation, particularly when combined with oxygen-limiting packaging.
