Abstract

The objective of this data in brief article is to present the associated data set regarding the published paper Novel unfiltered beer-based marinades to improve the nutritional quality, safety, and sensory perception of grilled ruminant meats in Food Chemistry [1]. Grilling is a popular cooking method; however, the high temperatures required can modify grilled meat quality and safety. In this data set, we include 5 tables containing the volatile composition of unmarinated and marinated grilled ruminant meat (beef and moose). Novel unfiltered beer-based marinades infused with herbs and spices were used for meat marination, and the volatiles present in the meat following grilling extracted by solid phase microextraction and subsequently analysed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS). The volatile profile includes alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, esters, alkylfurans, nitrogenated compounds, terpenes (mono-, sesqui- and oxygenated terpenes), sulfur derivatives, benzene derivatives, and phenol derivatives. This dataset provides valuable information on meat volatile composition useful to understand certain aspects of the quality and safety of grilled meat following preparation with unfiltered beer-based marinades. For more insight please see [1].
