Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of some of the key enzymes involved in liver sample of sheep with high and low sheepmeat flavour and odour. The study was conducted with Indonesian Javanese fat tailed sheep. Sheep having a fat branched chain fatty acids 4-methylnonanoic (MNA) greater and less than 215 μg g-1 and 229 will be defined as low and sheep meat odour, respectively. For the flavour, sheep having a fat skatole level less than 0.25 μg g-1 and greater than 0.25 μg g-1 will be defined as low and high flavour samples, respectively. The enzymes investigated were cytochrome P450 2A13 (CYP2A6), kinesin-like protein KIF12 (KIF12), and sulfotransferase 1C1 (SULT1C1). Expression of CYP2A6 in liver had differ between animals with high and low sheep meat flavour. Expression of CYP2A6, which catalyses the first stage of oxidation degradation, was increased in high sheep meat flavour and odour (P > 0.05). Similar pattern, the expression of SULT1C1, which catalyse the second stage of conjugation steroid catabolism, was increase in high sheep meat flavour and odour (P > 0.05). In contrast, the expression of KIF12 was decreased in high sheep meat flavour and odour animals. It is suggested that accumulation sheep meat flavour and odour in liver tissue of Indonesian Javanese fat tailed might be related to a high rate of oxidation in metabolic stage I and conjugation degradation in metabolic stage II.
