Effects of Postmortem Aging on Nutritional Quality and Myofibrillar Protein Function in Bactrian Camel Meat.
Article in Journal of food science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of postmortem aging on the nutritional quality and physicochemical properties of myofibrillar proteins (MFP) in Bactrian camel meat. In this study, hindlimb meat from five Bactrian camels was aged at 4°C and sampled on D0, D1, D3, D5, and D7. Samples were analyzed for proximate composition, amino acid profiles, and the functional and structural properties of MFPs. During aging, the moisture content decreased from 75.86% (D0) to 73.60% (D3) before partially recovering to 74.54% (D7), while protein (≈21.7%), crude fat (≈1.1%), and ash (≈0.86%) remained stable. Total amino acids (TAA) and essential amino acids (EAA) increased significantly, with TAA rising from 20.32 to 22.53 g/100 g and EAA from 9.17 to 9.92 g/100 g (P < 0.05). The EAA/TAA ratio consistently exceeded FAO/WHO recommendations, with lysine showing the highest amino acid score (≈1.6 times the reference value). MFP solubility increased from 25.66% to 76.21%, accompanied by improved emulsifying activity, but gel water-holding capacity and foaming stability declined. SDS-PAGE revealed a 30 kDa troponin-T (TnT) degradation product from D3, while Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) indicated a structural shift from α-helices (18.21% to 11.56%) to random coils (+5.64%). These results suggest that 3-5 days of aging may optimize both nutritional value and functional properties, providing a practical reference for camel meat processing. The findings are specific to the hindlimb muscle, and further research on different muscles is warranted.
