Comparative metabolomic analysis of spaghetti meat and wooden breast in broiler chickens: unveiling similarities and dissimilarities.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Spaghetti meat (SM) and wooden breast (WB) are emerging myopathies in the breast meat of fast-growing broiler chickens. The purpose of the study was to investigate the metabolomic differences between normal (N), SM, and WB fillets 24 h postmortem.

Materials and methods

Eight chicken breasts for each experimental group were collected from a commercial processing plant. Supernatant from tissue homogenates were subjected to ultra-performance liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) analysis.

Results and methods

A total of 3,090 metabolites were identified in the chicken breast meat. The comparison of WB and N showed 850 differential metabolites (P < 0.05), and the comparison of SM and N displayed 617 differential metabolites. The compar
