  • Evaluation of mechanical probes used on uncooked steaks to classify beef longissimus tenderness
    Stephens, J.W.; Unruh, J.A.; Dikeman, M.E.; Hunt, M.C.; Lawrence, T.E.; Loughin, T.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2003)
    We pooled the mechanical probe data from two experiments to develop regression equations to predict beef longissimus tenderness. Fifty-three USDA Select strip loins were evaluated at 2 days postmortem with three mechanical ...
  • Investigation of tenderness mechanisms in calcium-enhanced muscle
    Lawrence, T.E.; Dikeman, M.E.; Stephens, J.W.; Obuz, E.; Davis, J.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2003)
    We explored the mechanism(s) of calcium- induced tenderization in calcium-enhanced beef muscle. At 72 hours postmortem, we injected (9% by weight) beef strip loins (n=15) with 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, or 0.4 M calcium chloride ...
