چکیده

Two studies were conducted to determine 1) the effect of post-mortem time before chilling on hot boned prerigor breast muscle water-holding capacity (WHC), and 2) post-mortem temperature effect on sarcomere length and drip loss of uncooked breast, and shear force and WHC of turkey breast muscle that is hot-boned, marinated, and cooked. In Study 1, the turkey breast muscle was excised immediately after slaughter and chilled at 0 C. The effect of post-mortem time (15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min) before chilling on muscle pH, drip loss, and WHC (measured by homogenate cooking yield) was determined. In Study 2, hot boned prerigor breast slices were held at either 0 or 12 C and then at 3 h post-mortem stored at 2 C. Sarcomere length and drip loss of uncooked breast, and the shear force and WHC (measured by cooking yield) of cooked breast muscles with water, salt, and sodium tripolyphosphate were determined. Results indicated that pH on Day 1 post-mortem and cooking yield of water homogenates were not influenced by the post-mortem time before chilling. Drip losses increased as the post-mortem time before chilling was increased. Cooking yield of homogenate with water, salt, and sodium tripolyphosphate was decreased when breast muscle was chilled after 60 min post-mortem. Drip loss of breast was less at 0 C than at 12 C, but cooking yield and shear force were not affected by post-mortem chilling temperature. It was concluded that the post-mortem time before chilling has an influence on uncooked and cooked muscle WHC, but the differences found in uncooked muscle drip loss were not reflected in WHC or shear force of cooked muscle with water, salt, and sodium tripolyphosphate added.

POST-MORTEM CHANGES AND QUALITY ATTRIBUTES OF MARINATED FILETS WHEN SUBJECTED TO ULTRA-RAPID AIR CHILLING by NEERAJ SHARMA

Direct water immersion chilling is used widely in the poultry plants because of higher heat transfer rate. However, post-mortem state of poultry muscle, extent of water uptake by carcasses prior to deboning, and marination has been one of the largest sources of inconsistency in marinated product quality and has become a problem for producers of marinated broiler meat. The effect of Ultra-rapid ...

Stepwise chilling: tender pork without compromising water-holding capacity.

The current pork slaughter process is primarily optimized to reduce cooler shrink and the incidence of PSE pork. Elimination of the halothane gene and improved preslaughter handling have decreased the incidence of PSE pork and improved the water-holding capacity of the muscle; however, the chilling process has not been optimized to accommodate these changes. The hypothesis that stepwise chillin...

Gas composition in controlled atmosphere stunning affects turkey meat quality traits.

1. Investigations were made into the breast and leg muscle energy metabolism, and the quality of breast meat of turkeys after controlled atmosphere stunning or stun-killing (CAS) with various gas mixtures. In addition, the effect on meat quality of an increase in the chilling rate of turkey breast meat after hypercapnic or anoxic stun-killing was studied. 2. A total of 35 turkey toms within t...

Accelerated chilling of carcasses to improve pork quality.

Our objectives were to determine the optimal accelerated chill time immediately postmortem necessary to improve the quality of pork muscle and to decrease the incidence of pale, soft, and exudative pork. Carcasses from 81 market hogs were cooled either by conventional chill (CC) at 2 degrees C or by accelerated chill (AC) at -32 degrees C for 60, 90, 120, or 150 min, and then placed into a 2 de...

EFFECTS OF RAPID CHILLING OF CARCASSES AND EARLIER DEBONING post-mortem ON COLOUR OF PORK SEMIMEMBRANOSUS MUSCLE

The effect of rapid air chilling of carcasses, compared to conventional air chilling, and effect of earlier deboning, after rapid air chilling, on colour of pork M semimembranosus was investigated. During and at the end of chilling, compared to conventional chill treatment, carcasses that were rapid chilled had significantly (P < 0.001) lower internal temperature in the deep leg. Rapid chilled ...
