Metabolites in Longissimus Lumborum From Beef Cattle Differ in Fat Content.

ABSTRACT: Improving meat quality is an important goal in beef production. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the biochemical characteristics that drive muscle development and fat deposition and their effects on final quality is important in the fields of meat science and animal production. Recent research has shown that metabolites can be utilized as biological indicators for measuring meat quality. Therefore, the general meat quality, texture profile, and differentially abundant metabolites in longissimus lumborum from 10 Kazakh (with low fat content) cattle (KAZ) and 10 Xinjiang brown (with high fat content) cattle (BC) were analyzed. A total of 800 metabolites were detected, among which were 47 differentially abundant metabolites (DAMs), including 1 amine, 1 heterocyclic compound, 1 tryptamine
