The Effect of Sodium Chloride on the Physicochemical and Textural Properties and Flavor Characteristics of Sous Vide Cooked Duck Meat

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of salt brining process parameters (salt concentration 0–15%, brining time 4–12 h, brining temperature 4–20 °C) on the quality of sous vide cooked duck meat by a single factor combined with response surface methodology (RSM). The sensory evaluation, ph...

description This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of salt brining process parameters (salt concentration 0–15%, brining time 4–12 h, brining temperature 4–20 °C) on the quality of sous vide cooked duck meat by a single factor combined with response surface methodology (RSM). The sensory evaluation, physicochemical indexes (color, weight loss, NaCl content, TBARS value, and texture properties), and flavor characteristics were analyzed. The sensory overall mean score was applied as the evaluation index to optimize the brining conditions by RSM, and the optimum results contained a salt concentration of 11.69%, a brining temperature of 7.35 °C, and a brining time of 8.03 h. Under these conditions, the sensory overall mean score of duck meat was 8.59, with a relatively higher a* value and moderate NaCl content. GC-MS and odor activity value (OAV) results indicated that salt brining treatment significantly promoted the formation of the major odorants in duck meat, including pentanal, heptanal, octanal, (E)-2-nonenal, cis-4-decenal, decanal, 2,4-decadienal, (E,E)-2,4-decadienal, 1-heptanol, and 2-methyl-3-octanone, but decreased the content of hexanal, (E)-2-octenal, nonanal, (E,E)-2,4-nonadienal, 1-octen-3-ol, and 1-octen-3-one. 5′-nucleotides in duck meat were significantly increased after brining treatment. Therefore, salt brining treatment could be regarded as an efficient way to improve the sensory, aroma, and taste quality of sous vide cooked meat.
