Steaks from USDA Select inside rounds (Exp. 1) and shoulder clods (Exp. 2) were used to test the interactive effect of cookery method and endpoint temperature on Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) and internal cooked color. Pairs of 2.5-cm-thick semimembranosus (SM) or infraspinatus (INF) steaks ( = 360/muscle) were cut from each subprimal, labeled, vacuum packaged, and frozen at -30°C in the d...

A study was undertaken to determine effect of nutritional value of Melon husk (MH) and Palm oil slurry (POS) on quality of chevon obtained from West African Dwarf (WAD) goats fed finishing diets as follows: diet 1(0% MH, 0% POS); diet 2 (50% MH, 0% POS); diet 3 (0% MH, 50% POS) and diet 4 (50% MH, 50% POS), along with Panicum maximum as basal diet for all dietary treatment groups. After 60 days...

introduction: raisin is a principal traditional export product of iran and has a special position in the foreign trade of the country.during storage, the product turns sticky and hard due to exudates syrup and moisture loss. to solve this problem, the application of edible coating would be an appropriatesolution. edible coating may enhance the boundary layer resistance resulting to the enhanced...

In this study, the physicochemical and sensory quality characteristics due to the influence of various thawing methods on electro-magnetic and air blast frozen pork were examined. The packaged pork samples, which were frozen by air blast freezing at -45℃ or electro-magnetic freezing at -55℃, were thawed using 4 different methods: refrigeration (4±1℃), room temperature (RT, 25℃), cold water (15℃...

This study is to evaluate the effects of mineral detoxified nano-sulfur dispersion (DSD) on growth performance, fecal score, microbiota, gas emissions, blood profile, nutrient digestibility, and meat quality in finishing pigs. A total 160 pigs with an initial body weight (BW) 54.90 ± 5.10 kg were randomly assigned two treatments including basal diet 10 ppm DSD. During wk trial, there no differe...

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate a possible relationship between blood parameters related animal welfare and defined beef meat quality characteristics during winter summer seasons in one small-scale slaughterhouse. At exsanguination, samples were collected, serum concentrations for total proteins (TP), albumin C-reactive protein (CRP) evaluated. After 24 h chilling, ultim...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of soy isoflavones on growth, meat quality, and carcass traits of growing-finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, 36 barrows (initial and final BW, 26 and 113 kg, respectively) were used and each treatment was replicated four times with three pigs each. The dietary treatments were 1) corn-soybean meal (C-SBM), 2) corn-soy protein concentrate (low isofla...

This study aimed at characterising 606 crossbred pigs of three commercially available breed types in terms of their carcass and meat quality. Breed G and H were German Large White (LW)×German Landrace (LR) sows sired with Pietrain (PI) boars, i.e. PI×(LW×LR). Breed S was 25% Duroc (DU), i.e. PI×(DU×LR). Most of the parameters were affected by breed and/or date of slaughter. The meat of crossbre...

In this study, we evaluated the effects of dietary fiber extracted from Algelica keiskei Koidz on the chemical composition, cooking characteristics, and sensory properties of chicken patties. The chicken patties with Algelica keiskei Koidz dietary fiber had significantly higher moisture and ash content, and yellowness than the control sample (p<0.05). Energy value, cooking loss, reduction in di...

The aim of this research is to compare the carcass composition and meat quality characteristics spent Cobb 500 Ross 308 broiler breeders. A total 28 carcasses were evaluated—7 female 7 male from each genotype. Dissection was performed, percentages neck, wings, skin with subcutaneous fat, abdominal residual components, breast leg muscles calculated relative eviscerated weight. evaluated for thei...
