|
Three Types of Muscle
|
Skeletal: attached to skeleton

Smooth: GI and repro tract, circulatory system
|
|
Sarcoplasmic proteins
|
-water soluble
-myoglobin, hemoglobin, cytochromes
|
|
myoglobin
|
-major meat pigment
-exists in three forms in fresh meat:
deoxymyglobin, oxymyoglobin, metmyoglobin
-2 main parts
heme ring, globin
|
|
2 factors determining meat color
|
-chemical state of Fe (+2 or +3)
-compound bound to myoglobin free binding site
|
|
deoxymyoglobin
|
Fe2+, H2O bound, purple
|
|
oxymyoglobin
|
Fe2+, O2 bound, bright red
|
|
metmyoglobin
|
Fe3+, no site, brown
|
|
myofibrillar proteins
|
salt soluble protein
actin and myosin
troponin and tropomyosin
|
|
stromal protein
|
connective tissue proteins
acid soluble
|
|
collagen
|
major protein of the body
25-30% protein weight
|
|
elastin
|
mainly in tendons and ligaments
|
|
Meat Saturation Level
|
Pork < Beef < Lamb
|
|
daily meat serving
|
2-3 servings, 6-9 oz.
|
|
rigor
|
stiffening due to death of muscle
|
|
6 ways to improve tenderness
|
1. electrical simulation
2. aging (breakdown by muscle enzymes)
3. marinating (acid solution)
4. tenderizers (chemical)
5. mechanical tenderization (needle/blade)
6. proper cooking (low temp, long time)
|
|
"DFD"
|
-dark, firm, dry
-results from high pH
|
|
"PSE"
|
-pale, soft, exudative
-results from low pH
|
|
5 Factors affecting consumer acceptability
|
1. tenderness
2. juiciness
3. flavor/ aroma
4. appearance
5. price
|
|
