To investigate the effect of refrigeration on collagen and texture characteristics yak meat, changes in content, solubility, shear force, hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness meat at 4 ± 1 °C were measured. The results showed that contents solubility significantly decreased (P < 0.05). myofibrillar fragmentation index increased Correlation analysis histological structure...

A rapid sample drying technique is described which is useful for the simultaneous preparation of large numbers of samples as an alternative to critical point drying. The cryofractured face of meat emulsions was visualized after appl ying this technique . The fine structure of 1 ipids and proteins were found to be well preser ved in comparison to other reports which used critical point dried mea...

The pH of muscle tissue is extremely important to meat science since the pH at specific times during the conversion of muscle to meat, as well as the ultimate pH of meat, affects many quality factors. The quality factors affected by pH include: color, grading characteristics and shrink of carcasses and wholesale cuts: texture, cooking loss and tenderness of steaks and roasts; and processing and...

rier for a variety of edible antimicrobial agents. Technologies designed to pasteurize processed meats after final packaging have received copious attention. Post pasteurization of vacuum packaged cooked products consists of hot water or steam immersion followed by immediate chilling. Irradiation (gamma, electron beam or X-ray) of cooked vacuum or MAP packaged products can produce very acceptab...

1. Studies on the sensory profiling of male broiler breast meat were carried out to evaluate the effect of two very different broiler breeds (JA757 and New Hampshire), two different feed types (broiler and grower feed) and age at slaughter (82 and 110 d). 2. The sensory profiling consisted of a pilot study, 4 training sessions, and finally the assessment. During the training session a panel of ...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop a value-added product concerning technological and sensory characteristics changes of the use of mechanically deboned poultry meat (MDPM) as meat replacer in lamb and mutton emulsion-type sausages (mortadella). METHODS Sausages were produced with lamb and mutton and with different contents of MDPM. Six treatments, using lamb or mutton and 0%, 30%, and 60%...

Pork quality is the set of characteristics that make meat desirable. Those characteristics might be determined by: aesthetics (taste, smell, texture, and color); nutrition (vitamins, proteins, minerals, energy, type and proportion of fat); safety (absence of pathogens or toxins); intangible qualities (organic, or meat produced under high standards of animal welfare); and qualities such as conve...

Duck meat sausages were prepared using 10% beef fat (FDS) and 10% hydrated cereal flours including rice (RDS), wheat, corn, millet, and barley to replace fat. Control duck sausages (DS) were also prepared only with duck meat and duck meat plus 10% beef fat. Results showed that protein and fat contents significantly decreased and total expressible fluid reduced with the addition of cereal flours...

Because the use of phosphates has being recently diminished in meat industry due to the nutritional drawbacks of phosphates, some researchers started to evaluate sodium bicarbonate as phosphate replacer in meat products. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different temperature combinations of dry air-cooking treatments (Air and Core temperatures: 160 76, 160 80, 200 76 and 200 ̊...
