Effect of wooden breast on postmortem changes in chicken meat

Food Chemistry, 2020
Wooden breast is a common problem in the poultry industry, occurring when broiler breast meat becomes rubber-like and extremely hard. Unclear points remain regarding the mechanical strength changes caused by post-mortem biochemical changes in wooden breasts. This study aimed to investigate this knowledge gap. We found endogenous protease activity to be

Mitochondrial characteristics of chicken breast muscle affected by wooden breast

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2022
The growth rate of broiler chickens has increased by 400% over the past 50 years, and breast yields continue to increase. This has led to an increase in thoracic muscle abnormalities in broilers, with wooden breast becoming a major issue worldwide. The etiology and the mechanism underlying the etiology of wooden breasts have not yet been elucidated ...

Accumulation of lipofuscin in broiler chicken with wooden breast

Animal Science Journal, 2021
AbstractLipofuscin is one of the indicators of oxidative stress. To elucidate the role of oxidative stress in the development of wooden breast, this study investigates lipofuscin accumulation in various parts of wooden breast muscles. Sampling was performed using 46‐day‐old broiler chickens housed at a commercial Japanese poultry slaughterhouse ...

Quality defects associated with poultry muscle development: wooden breast

2022
The increasing consumer demand for poultry meat has led to intensive breeding programs to achieve higher growths rate and high breast yields in modern chickens, indirectly resulting in the occurrence of growth-related muscular abnormalities. Among these, wooden breast (WB) is characterized by bulging and pale areas of hardened consistency mainly ...

Fibrillar Collagen Organization Associated with Broiler Wooden Breast Fibrotic Myopathy

Avian Diseases, 2017
Wooden breast (WB) is a fibrotic myopathy affecting the pectoralis major (p. major) muscle in fast-growing commercial broiler lines. Birds with WB are phenotypically detected by the palpation of a hard p. major muscle. A primary feature of WB is the fibrosis of muscle with the replacement of muscle fibers with extracellular matrix proteins, such as ...

Histopathologic and Myogenic Gene Expression Changes Associated with Wooden Breast in Broiler Breast Muscles

Avian Diseases, 2015
The wooden breast condition is a myopathy affecting the pectoralis major (p. major) muscle in fast-growing commercial broiler lines. Currently, wooden breast-affected birds are phenotypically detected by palpation of the breast area, with affected birds having a very hard p. major muscle that is of lower value.

HOW DOES “WOODEN BREAST” MYODEGENERATION AFFECT POULTRY MEAT QUALITY?

2014
The aim of the research was to study the effects of “Wooden Breast” (WB) myodegeneration on poultry meat quality. At a poultry meat cutting facility, 30 normal (N) and 30 WB (WB) fillets (Pectoralis major muscle) were selected to measure the weight, cross sectional area, pH and L*a*b* colour values at 48h post mortem, and pH, L*a*b* colour values ...

Implications of wooden breast defect on technological properties of chicken breast fillets

2014
In the last few years, different muscle myopathies have mostly appeared in the breast muscle of broiler chickens. Wooden breast defect is a recent emerging myopathy which has been macroscopically described by areas of substantial hardness and slightly outbulging in breast fillets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of wooden breast defect
