Abstract:
This experiment evaluated a procedure for converting forequarter beef tissue into a fabricated steak-like product and to test its refrigerated and frozen storage characteristics. The restructured steaks were manufactured by tumbling thin slices of beef arm chuck roast with salt (2%) and added water (3%) and then passing this product through a mechanical patty machine. Refrigerated (4 ± 2 C) samples were evaluated at 0, 3, 5 and 10 days of storage. Frozen (- 23 ± 3 C) samples were evaluated after 0, 1, 2, and 3 months of storage. An acceptable steak-like product was manufactured; however its raw visual appearance and raw odor deteriorated quickly and its cooked palatability characteristics deteriorated with both types of storage, probably due to oxidation.
