Wagyu and the factors contributing to its beef quality: A Japanese industry overview
Wagyu cattle are originated from native Japanese breeds, which have evolved by adapting to the unique climate and environment of Japan. Since the modem beef-eating culture started to flourish in Japan in the 1860s, Wagyu has been improved for higher ...

Beef Color Standard, including marbled Wagyu beef, determined using a portable near-infrared optical fiber spectrometer [PDF]
Objective The purpose of this study was to see if a portable near-infrared optical fiber spectrometer with a wavelength range of 700–1,050 nm could objectively predict the Beef Color Standard (BCS), which is visually evaluated during beef carcass grading.

Smartphone-Based Sensing System for Identifying Artificially Marbled Beef Using Texture and Color Analysis to Enhance Food Safety [PDF]
Beef fat injection technology, used to enhance the perceived quality of lower-grade meat, often results in artificially marbled beef that mimics the visual traits of Wagyu, characterized by dense fat distribution.

Muscle biopsy long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid compositions, IMF and FMP in Australian pasture-based Bowen Genetics Forest Pastoral Angus, Hereford, and Wagyu Beef Cattle [PDF]
Background We investigated breed and gender variations in the compositions of long-chain (≥ C20) omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC omega-3 PUFA), fat melting point (FMP) and intramuscular fat (IMF) contents in biopsy samples of the M.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of Qinchuan and Wagyu cattle reveals lnc11599 as a negative regulator of intramuscular fat deposition [PDF]
Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is a critical factor determining beef quality, influenced by various factors including breed and age. However, the regulatory role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in IMF deposition remains unclear.

Transcriptome and HS-SPME-GC-MS analysis of key genes and flavor components associated with beef marbling [PDF]
Wagyu cattle are well-known for their rich marbling. Qinchuan cattle have slower-depositing marbling than Wagyu cattle. However, because of an increase in the consumer demand for high-quality beef and the increasingly stringent standards of beef quality,

Estimation of total-tract starch digestibility using fecal starch concentration in fattening Japanese Black cattle [PDF]
Fattening Japanese Black cattle (Wagyu), renowned for producing marbled beef, derive essential energy from starch. While fecal starch concentration (FSC) can estimate total-tract starch digestibility (TTSD), equations developed for other beef production ...

Taste Enhancement in Japanese Black Wagyu Beef Fed With Sake Lees: Insights From Metabolomic and Sensory Evaluations. [PDF]
Taste enhancement in Japanese black Wagyu (JBW) beef fed with Sake Lees: Feeding sake lees (SL) to JBW cattle altered beef metabolite profiles, as revealed by metabolomics and taste sensor analysis. Elevated glucose 1‐phosphate and amino acids were associated with enhanced sweetness, consistent with sensory evaluation.
