Abstract
ABSTRACTBlade tenderization resulted in increased (P<0.05) tenderness scores of postrigor longissimus muscle after 7 days storage. However, no improvements (P>0.05) in tenderness of prerigor CaCl2 injected infraspinatus and longissimus muscles were observed due to blade tenderization nor was percentage of collagen affected. Prerigor, blade tenderized CaCl2 injected muscles were generally less tender (P<0.05), as measured by sensory panel and shear force, than postrigor muscles independent of blade tenderization. Furthermore, prerigor CaCl2 injected samples had lower texture scores for both muscles and lower flavor scores for infraspinatus than samples from postrigor muscles. Blade tenderization did not affect microbial load or color nor did CaCl2 influence color.
