Tenderness, the single most important palatability factor affecting consumer satisfaction of beef, is mainly associated with the structural integrity of myofibrillar and connective tissue proteins. One approach to increasing beef tenderness is to significantly reduce the amount of detectable connective tissues without causing extensive degradation of muscle fibers. This purpose may be achieved ...

The properties of fat are of major importance when meat products are produced. By enzymatic modification triacylglycerols (TAGs) can be converted to diacylglycerols (DAGs) resulting in changes of the physical and chemical properties of the fat. In this study the texture as well as the hydration and binding properties were investigated in meat emulsions prepared with lard substituted with differ...

in this study, quality characteristics of incorporated burgers containing 25, 50, 75 and 100 common carp (cyprinus carpio) surimi was evaluated. accordingly, proximate composition, texture profile analysis (tpa), color, water holding capacity (whc) and sensory attributes of resulted burgers were determined. based on data, burgers containing surimi showed lower amount of protein, fat and ash com...

Objective: This study aimed to determine phenotypic correlations between carcass part yields (breast and thigh yield) meat quality characteristics (pHu, lightness, redness, yellowness, chroma, hue, thawing loss, cooking water holding capacity, texture) in Japanese quails.Material Methods: was carried out on a total of 130 quails with mixed sexes. Twenty-four hours after slaughter, pHu color mea...

Physical characteristics or physical properties of meat include pH, cooking loss , and texture, while organoleptic qualities color, taste, texture aroma. These factors will simultaneously determine the quality in livestock . This study aims to effect giving a combination herbs, mineral zinc, expired milk powder vitamin C on broiler meat. research was conducted at Samata Integrated Farming Syste...

The objective of this study has been to verify whether a combination the standard Texture Profile Analysis and back extrusion, which we have named “TPAH” since analysis was performed after homogenization, can be applied products that are difficult handle. TPAH 180 samples, divided equally into 18 batches home-made pea-based patties, commercially meat patties. Seven parameters were measured on b...

This study compared vegetarian and non-vegetarian teenage English girls' attitudes towards meat. A convenience sample of 15 vegetarian (mean age 17.2 years) and 15 non-vegetarian (mean age 17.3 years) girls was recruited from a teenage health clinic. Attitudes towards meat were assessed in a single, tape-recorded, semi-structured interview. Eight themes of the cultural meaning of meat were iden...
