Impact of Tumbling Process on the Toughness and Structure of Raw Beef Meat Pieces

Abstract: Tenderness is a major factor in consumer perception and acceptability of beef meat. Here we used a laboratory tumbling simulator to investigate the effectiveness of the tumbling process in reducing the toughness of raw beef cuts. Twelve Semitendinosus beef muscles from cows were tumbled according to four programs: T1 (2500 consecutive compression cycles (CC), for about 3 h), T2 (6000 CC, about 7.5 h), T3 (9500 CC, about 12 h), and T4 (13,000 CC, about 16 h). The effect of tumbling on the toughness of raw meat … Show more

“…The average shear force (SF) values measured on the cooked meat pieces corresponding to the different mechanical and heating treatments are presented in Figure 3. Tumbling the 21 days aged meat pieces resulted in a significant decrease in SF values for all cooking procedures applied, thus confirming the tumbling-process-induced improvement in the tenderness of raw beef shown in N'Gatta et al [15] persists even after cooking. SF values of the meat pieces decreased with increasing cooking temperature in both pre-tumbled and control meat pieces.…”

“…We chose the ST muscle for two main reasons: first, it is a rather tough beef muscle, rich in collagen, and therefore suitable for tenderization by tumbling; second, its elongated and rather cylindrical shape allowed us to easily obtain, after trimming, a cylindrical piece of meat 18-cm long and 6.5-cm in diameter, weighing approximately 700 g. The muscles were trimmed in this way for technical reasons related to the laboratory device used for tumbling, which is described in N'Gatta et al [15] and was developed by Daudin et al [7]. The maximum length of the piece of meat to be tumbled had to be slightly shorter than the length of the compression piston (i.e., 18 cm vs. 20 cm) so that the whole piece of meat would be fully compressed.…”
