1/13/2022 — The overall goal was to evaluate the effects of repackaging nitrite-embedded dark-cutting steaks in polyvinylchloride (PVC) film on surface color. Dark-cutting beef strip loins (n = 8; pH = 6.39) and USDA Low Choice beef strip loins (USDA Choice, n = 6; pH = 5.56) were selected at a commercial packing plant. Dark-cutting loins were bisected and randomly assigned to nonenhanced

1/5/2022 — Volatile aroma compounds were evaluated in USDA Top Choice and Select beef top loin steaks cut 1.3 cm (THIN) or 3.8 cm (THICK) and cooked on a commercial flat top grill at 177°C (LOW) or 232°C (HIGH) grill surface temperature. Gas chromatography/mass spectrophotometry was used to evaluate volatile aroma compounds. USDA Select steaks had more 2-octene and less trimethyl pyrazine in (P <

12/31/2021 — Muscle properties and metabolism influence muscle to meat conversion. Fiber type profile impacts glycolytic capacity as well as protein turnover rate in vivo. Our objective was to investigate protease content and activation during the early postmortem period using muscles with known divergent metabolism. Samples from longissimus lumborum (LL) and diaphragm (Dia) were taken

12/31/2021 — Using meta-analysis, the color life threshold for beef longissimus lumborum (LL) and psoas major (PM) steaks during retail display (phase 1) and the effect of postmortem aging time (phase 2) on the display color life of LL and PM steaks were determined. In phase 1, data were retrieved from 13 refereed journal articles for LL and 3 refereed journal articles for PM, which included
