Area of Science:

  • Food Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Accurate quantification of intramuscular fat (IMF) is crucial for meat quality assessment and nutritional analysis.
  • Existing methods for IMF extraction can be time-consuming, require large sample sizes, and involve significant solvent use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a streamlined and efficient procedure for intramuscular fat extraction.
  • To minimize sample mass, solvent consumption, and analysis time for IMF determination.
  • To ensure the developed method maintains accuracy, precision, and comparable fatty acid profiles.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized lyophilized samples (200mg) homogenized in dichloromethane-methanol (8:2).
  • Employed a mixer mill for homogenization and centrifugation for phase separation.
  • Repeated extraction three times, evaporated solvent under nitrogen, and determined lipid content gravimetrically.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a linear response across the IMF content range (1.6-6.9 g/100 g sample).
  • Exhibited lowest intra-method variability compared to other methods across various IMF levels.
  • Achieved comparable fatty acid profiles to established protocols.

Conclusions:

  • The new procedure offers a cost- and time-efficient alternative for IMF extraction.
  • The method provides high precision and accuracy without compromising lipid profile integrity.
  • This optimized protocol is suitable for routine analysis in food science and quality control.
