Article Synopsis
- * Ten goats were divided into groups and fed diets with varying HSM concentrations (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%) for 60 days before being harvested, and various meat quality measurements were taken.
- * While HSM did not significantly change overall carcass traits or meat spoilage, higher HSM levels were linked to decreased tenderness, suggesting it can be used as a feed ingredient without negatively impacting meat yield.
Packaging technology is evolving, and the objectives of this study were to evaluate instrumental surface color, expert color evaluation, and lipid oxidation (TBARS) on beef steaks packaged in vacuum-ready packaging (VRF) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) overwrap packaging. Paired strip loins (Institutional Meat Purchasing Specifications # 180) were cut into 2.54-cm-thick steaks and assigned randomly to one of two packaging treatments, VRF or PVC.
