The influence of alfalfa fiber level 28, 54 and 74% in diets on
the proximate compositions, pH and water-holding capacity of raw and
cooked rabbit meat were investigated.
Preslaughter live weight, percent dress weight and percent
abdominal fat of rabbits fed 54% alfalfa fiber diet were
significantly higher and total...
This study investigated the influence of microwave and
broiling cooking methods on quality parameters of portion size
cuts of beef semitendinosus muscle subjected to pre-rigor
pressure treatment. The pre-rigor pressurized beef was compared
to conventionally processed portion size cuts. Juiciness,
tenderness, and flavor were evaluated by objective and
subjective tests....
Unbleached-flour, high-ratio white cakes were prepared with
-15, -10, -5, 0, +5 percent variations in sugar/water level from
American Association of Cereal Chemists Method 10-90. Formulas
with and without added cream of tartar were used.
Specific gravity, batter and crumb pH, volume, crumb and
crust color and compressibility were objectively...
The effects of pre-rigor high-pressure treatment of beef semitendinosus
muscle on tenderness, juiciness, and flavor were studied
using both objective and subjective tests. Objective tests included
Warner-Bratzler shear, myofibril protein solubility, total moisture,
water-holding capacity, pH, total nitrogen, and fat content for raw
and cooked samples. Total, evaporation, and drip...
The objectives were to investigate the ability of a two-factor
central composite rotatable design (CCRD), using cooking temperature
(CT) and endpoint temperature (ET) as independent variables, to
predict selected chemical, physical and sensory meat quality
characteristics considered important by the industry, researcher and
consumer alike. Response surface analysis (RSA) was...
Thirty bone-in hams from market weight hogs were used
in this study, three groups of 10 each. One group was
brine-cured, frozen and stored (F/S) at -20°C for 90 days
prior to heat processing and smoking. A second group was
similarly cured and frozen, not stored (F/NS), but thawed
immediately,...
The effects of early season and late season drought stress on
various carbohydrates, calcium and/or nitrogen content at apical,
central and basal tuber locations were studied for Russet Burbank
and A082260-8 potatoes. Drought stress which occurred early in the
stage of tuber development appeared to have more detrimental effect
than...
