Abstract
Relationships between Japanese color score (JCS) and pork quality attributes were studied and three equations were developed to predict JCS. Averages for population one ( n = 781) traits were used to develop initial prediction equations and traits from population two ( n = 684) were used to evaluate the success of the prediction equations. The first equation was: JCS = 12.698 â (0.01128 Ă firmness) + (0.09008 Ă pH) â (0.00007199 Ă drip loss) â (0.266 Ă L â) + (0.06923 Ă a â) â (0.201 Ă b â) + (0.02143 Ă hue angle); r 2 = 0.916. The second equation was: JCS = 15.255 â (0.259 Ă L â) â (0.213 Ă b â) + (0.02518 Ă hue angle); r 2 = 0.931. The third equation was: JCS = 12.920 â (0.219 Ă L â) + (0.07342 Ă a â) â (0.02166 Ă b â); r 2 = 0.906. All equations predicted 92% or more Japanese color scores within ±0.50. Requiring fewer measurements, the second and third equations would be advantageous when sorting pork on the basis of JCS.
