A Comprehensive Study of Meat Quality and Flavor Characteristics of Different Sexes of Yanbian Yellow Cattle Using GC-IMS and LC-MSMS Technologies

Differences in sex among cattle are associated with distinct physiological traits and en- docrine profiles, which significantly influence meat quality and flavor characteristics. This study is the first to explore the effect of sex on meat quality, volatile flavor, and metabolites in Yanbian yellow cattle. Volatile and non-volatile metabolites in the longissimus dorsi muscle were comprehensively profiled using gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrome- try (GC-IMS) and liquid...
