Mechanisms associated with the variation in tenderness of meat from Brahman and Hereford cattle

Abstract: To study possible mechanisms for differences in meat tenderness, 10 purebred Hereford and 10 American Grey Brahman steers were fed a typical feedlot diet and slaughtered when ultrasound measurements indicated that they had approximately 1 cm of fat thickness at the 12th rib. Longissimus muscle from Brahman cattle was less (P less than .05) tender after 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 d postmortem than muscle from Hereford cattle, but muscle from Hereford cattle showed greater improvement in tenderness from 7 to 14 d post… Show more

“…The myofibrillar component of muscle is believed to be the major contributor to tenderness variation (Johnson et al 1990;Whipple et al 1990;Shackelford et al 1995;Harper 1999). Post-mortem rates of glycolysis and subsequent pH decline have been shown to be slower in B. indicus muscle relative to B. taurus, leading to increased shortening of the myofibrillar proteins (Wheeler et al 1990;Shackelford et al 1991). This may explain the higher (P < 0.001) SFLT of Brahmans relative to all other crosses except Shorthorn.…”

“…Independente da temperatura interna de cozimento, os valores de força de cisalhamento foram altos em quase todos os dias post mortem para ambas as faixas de pHf, o que sugere a necessidade de utilizar métodos físicos ou químicos para aumentar a maciez do músculo Longissimus lumborum de animais zebuínos. (SHACKELFORD et al, 1991;WHEELER et al, 1990;WHIPPLE et al, 1990). Isto representa um desafio para a indústria de carnes brasileira, considerando que a maciez é o atributo de qualidade mais importante por ser avaliado durante a mastigação.…”

“…Segundo Promeyrat et al (2010b), o processo de agregação pode estar envolvido nas mudanças estruturais das miofibrilas durante o cozimento, fato que poderia explicar as mudanças na estrutura das fibras com o aumento da temperatura observados no presente trabalho. (SHACKELFORD et al, 1991;WHEELER et al, 1990;WHIPPLE et al, 1990).…”
