Objective To explore the optimal aging time for high-quality beef. Methods The longissimus dorsi muscle of Wokin black cattle was selected as the experimental material. The beef was aged in a chilling room at 4 °C for 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours. Comprehensive analyses were conducted on the beef’s moisture content, pressurized water loss rate, tenderness, inosinic acid, amino acids and fatty acids. Principal component analysis was performed on tenderness and flavor composition indicators under different aging times. Results The moisture content of beef showed no significant differences among different aging times (P>0.05). The pressurized water loss rate gradually increased with prolonged aging time, reaching its maximum value of (34.84±0.39)% at 120 hours. Tenderness gradually decreased, reaching its lowest value of (24.42±5.04) N at 120 hours. The inosinic acid content peaked at (185.2±10.3) mg/100 g after 72 hours of aging. Umami and sweet amino acids reached their highest levels at 96 hours, while bitter amino acids reached their lowest levels at 12 hours. The content of saturated fatty acids+monounsaturated fatty acids, Methyl stearate (C18:0), and methanol oleate (C18:1n9c) were highest at 120 hours. Principal component analysis and comprehensive factor scoring results indicated that the tenderness and volatile flavor compounds of beef aged for 96 hours scored significantly higher than those aged for other durations. This aging time was most conducive to the formation of volatile flavor compounds in beef. Conclusion Aging for 96 hours is beneficial for enhancing the tenderness and flavor of high-quality beef.
