Using the near-infrared system to sort various beef middle and end muscle cuts into tenderness categories

The objectives of this study were to determine the effectiveness of a visible-near-infrared (VIS-NIR) system to predict the ultimate tenderness rating of various beef muscles and conclude if a relationship exists between predicted LM shear force and tenderness of other subprimal cuts. Carcasses (n = 768) were scanned with the VIS-NIR system in 2 commercial beef-processing facilities. Carcasses were categorized based on their predicted 14-d LM slice shear force value. After carcass scanning, 100 carcasses were randomly selected based on their tenderness classification, and subprimals (ribeye rolls, clods, knuckles, top sirloins, inside rounds, and eye of rounds) were removed, vacuum-packaged, and transported to the Oklahoma State University Food and Agricultural Products Research Center, where 2.54-cm steaks (n = 6) were fabricated and stored in refrigerated conditions (1 degrees C +/- 1) and aged for 14 d. The center steak from right-side subprimals was designated for slice shear force (LM) or Warner-Bratzler shear force (all other subprimals) analysis. The remaining steaks were categorized based on predicted tenderness taken at 2 d postmortem with the VIS-NIR spectrophotometer and used in a consumer taste study. The test population of carcasses (n = 100) scanned in-plant predicted 27 carcasses as tender, 45 carcasses as intermediate, and 28 carcasses as tough. The VIS-NIR system correctly classified 26 of the 28 (92.9% accuracy) tough carcasses. Overall consumer satisfaction was greatest (P < 0.05) for steaks classified as tender and was intermediate compared with the steaks classified as tough. It was concluded that in-plant VIS-NIR scanning can properly identify and sort carcasses into tenderness groups, which may lead to the development of certified not-tough programs.

The Future of Food and Beverage Management Research

This article offers an overview of the current state of food and beverage management research and some recommendations for the future development of the field. It begins from the premise that establishing such an overview requires an appreciation of the condition and consequences of hospitality research more generally for food and beverage research. A second premise is that understanding of food and beverage research is inseparable from comprehending the nature and role of food and beverage education more generally within the hospitality field. The central theme developed from this is that food and beverage management research is a Cinderella subject even within the hospitality field, where the latter has more generally largely failed to establish credibility within the academy. The irony of this situation lies in the fact that food and beverage management is one of the central subjects that potentially defines hospitality management. The near-utopian prescriptions for the future of food and beverage management research centre on building connections to other food-related research and hence to hospitality, eschewing much of what currently passes for hospitality management research in an effort to rebuild the subject field around the industry's core concerns.

Even Students are What They Eat

NO TEACHER should be required to teach a child who did not bring his brain to school; she cannot teach the animal limbic system. Every morning each pupil should report what his breakfast contained. If he had no protein and ate mainly carbohydrates, he should be sent home. This quote comes from Feed Your Kids Right, by Dr. Lendon Smith. As if to support Dr. Smith's contention, the November 1999 Nutrition Action Newsletter, published by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, reported, cereal eaters get more vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They eat less fat. They're less depressed, less stressed, and even smarter than people who skip The more you look at the breakfasts people eat outside the home, the better cereal looks, claims the report. Even those low-fiber 'candy cereals' are relatively low in calories (about 120 per serving) and fat (assuming you eat them with 1% or skim milk). According to the 2002 School Breakfast Scorecard, published by the Food Research and Action Center, 36 states either have their own legislative requirements related to the School Breakfast Program or provide state funds for school breakfasts. In addition, says the report, almost all states use direct certification to some degree, a federal option that allows states to make students automatically eligible for free school meals if their families participate in the Food Stamp Program or the TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) program. West Virginia requires all schools to participate, while in Washington all schools with more than 40% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunches must offer breakfast. Kentucky and Utah do not require schools to have breakfast programs, but they do require schools without them to report why. Kentucky also requires districts to arrange bus schedules so that all buses arrive with sufficient time for schools to serve breakfast prior to the school day. Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Illinois provide state funding for universal access to free breakfasts in certain schools, without regard to an individual student's family income. North Carolina does so for kindergarten only. In 2002 Maryland lawmakers decided to remove the sunset provision in the state's highly successful in-the-classroom universal breakfast program. However, the Food Research and Action Center estimates that state school breakfast programs fail to reach almost 1.9 million children who are eligible for free or reduced-price breakfasts. Other programs also target low-income students. The U.S. Department of Agriculture supports programs such as the National School Lunch Program and the Special Milk Program. As important as these programs are, however, recent discussions have been less concerned with who is participating or with the numbers served than with what is being served and the nutritional habits of all children. Now that a growing number of districts have contracted with soft drink companies as a way of increasing district and school revenues, more attention is being paid to whether the revenues are worth the tradeoff in nutrition when schools provide greater access to sugary drinks and snack products. Add to this the practice of contracting with Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and other food providers as districts work to meet student demand and to widen their menu selections, and one has to wonder whether these practices might be working at cross-purposes with efforts to improve student learning. Clippings of news from across the country indicate that attention to nutrition is growing. For example, in October of 2002 in Washington, D.C., a partnership of more than 30 national education, fitness, nutrition, and health organizations held a Healthy Schools Summit: Taking Action for Children's Nutrition & Fitness. The summit brought together over 500 professionals from 49 states, representing areas of education, health, physical activity, nutrition, and school food service. …

Comparison of Freshness Quality of Cultured and Wild Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

Freshness quality of cultured and wild sea bass stored in ice for up to 22 d was evaluated by monitoring sensory quality, levels of nucleotides, and nucleotide breakdown products. Sensory schemes for raw and cooked fish were modified according to the trained panelists' perceptions, during ice storage. Freshness K and related values, namely K, K i, G, P, H, and F r, were calculated. The limit for acceptability of cultured and wild sea bass stored in ice was approximately 16 to 18 d. The sensory score for both cultured and wild raw fish was correlated with some freshness indicators (K, K i, G, P, and F r) values over the entire storage period (r 2 values 0.98).
