  • Method for evaluating quality of beef such as taste and texture on the basis of genotype of stearoyl-CoA desaturase
    Patent number: 7723025
    Abstract: We paid attention to stearoyl-CoA desaturase gene, and investigated the relation between this gene and the unsaturated fatty acid content in beef fat. As a result, we found that the unsaturated fatty acid content was associated with the genotype of this gene, classified according to several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on this gene. The present invention is a method to predict the unsaturated fatty acid content in beef (or milk) fat, on the basis of the genotype of bovine stearoyl-CoA desaturase, and useful prediction method for beef quality such as taste and texture.

  • Method of Determining Gene Relating to Favorable Beef Taste and Texture
    Publication number: 20080010696
    Abstract: By focusing attention on SREBP-1 gene, the relationship between this gene and the degree of unsaturation in beef body fat is examined. As a result, it is found out that this gene occurs as an “L-type” gene having a longer fifth intron and an “S-type” gene having a fifth intron shorter by 84 bases than the above one and these genotypes relate to the degree of unsaturation in beef body fat. A method of evaluating the content of unsaturated fatty acids in beef body fat based on these SREBP-1 genotypes is applicable to the evaluation of beef taste, texture and so on and, therefore, is industrially useful.
