    2,5-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone (DMHF), a compound having a sweet caramel-like odor, is one of the major compounds generated by the Maillard reaction. DMHF could affect the palatability of cooked and processed foods such as meat, while its inhalation induces several physiological functions. However, basic findings of DMHF generation in meat remain unclear. In this study, we compared the amount of DMHF in cooked meat of various animal meat (Japanese black cattle beef, Australian beef, pork, and chicken) and parts (round, loin, thigh, and breast). Meat samples were heated at 230°C, and then the amount of DMHF was measured using the solvent extraction methods. Moreover, the substrates (total free amino acid and glucose) used for the Maillard reaction were also measured to elucidate the relation between DMHF generation and nutrients in meat. DMHF was detected in all cooked meat samples, suggesting that DMHF is generated in meat regardless of animal species and parts. A significant positive correlation was observed between the DMHF generation and glucose content in the round and thigh parts. Our results suggest that DMHF generation during meat cooking would be regulated by the glucose content. © 2023 The Authors.
