The effect of electrical stimulation and postmortem time on properties of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)The left sides of six mature (USDA E-Maturity) cattle were electrically stimulated with 18 impulses of approximately 500 volts. The right sides of the carcasses served as controls (NS). Samples (200 g) were excised at 0 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)A three-part study was conducted to determine the effect of electrical stimulation on the quality, palatability and histological characteristics of beef. Experiment 1 determined the effects of using various numbers of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Small Seed Syndrome (SSS) is a problem that plagues the sorghum breeder, producer, transporter, and processor. Small seed cause a reduction in yield, prices and feed efficiency due to decreases in weight, density, protein ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The effects of slaughter age, breed group and method of carcass suspension upon certain carcass characteristics, histological measurements and palatability traits of bullock beef were assessed by use of a sample of 115 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Three studies were conducted to determine (1) factors affecting measurements of water holding capacity, (2) effects of electrical stimulation and post-slaughter chilling on porcine muscle properties, and (3) factors affecting ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Four hundred eighty-six feeder steers were selected at a commercial feedlot, fed a high-concentrate finishing ration for 100, 130 or 160 days and slaughtered at a commercial packing plant. The steers were evaluated as ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Dorado, Malisor 84-7, Tortillero, ATx623*SC103-12E, and ATx630*R3338 sorghums were cleaned, steeped in tap water for 20h, immersed in a 2% sodium hypochlorite solution for 10 min, rinsed with distilled water 5 times, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The objectives of the present study were 1) to determine the heritability (h^2) of bovine postrigor calpastatin activity and the phenotypic (r[p]) and genetic (r[g]) correlation coefficients between bovine postrigor ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Eighty bovine carcasses were selected from among 1005 carcasses of known grade and tenderness (sensory panel ratings and shear force values). Five grade-maturity groups (U.S. Choice, A maturity, n=20; U.S. Choice, B maturity, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)To is a thick porridge prepared by cooking a flour slurry in boiling water with continous stirring. The relationship between to texture and solubility properties with physicochemical characteristics of sorghum with different ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)A three-part study consisting of pork carcasses electrically stimulated (ES) or not electrically stimulated (NES) and chilled by three methods was undertaken to establish treatment effects on pork quality, palatability and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Steers from three breed-types (Brahman, Angus, Brahman X Angus; n = 25 each) were placed on a high-concentrate diet and five animals from each breed-type were slaughtered after zero, 56, 112, 168 and 224 days on feed. Right ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)To investigate the role of ionic strength in the postmortem tenderization of meat, myofibrils from bovine longissimus muscle at 2 hr postmortem were incubated in 0.1 to 0.35M ionic strength buffers under various conditions. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)A nationwide survey, including 150 university and college food service managers, was conducted to determine the impact of warmed-over flavor (WOF) on food acceptance in establishments serving food to the public. Additionally, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Determinations were made for subcellular distribution of fatty acids of lipids in the membrane and the cytoplasm of myofibers and intramuscular adipocytes in tissues from twelve USDA Select beef carcasses, from animals ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Angus (N = 25), Brahman (N = 25) and Brahman x Angus (N = 25) steer calves were fed a high-energy diet and five steers from each breed-type were slaughtered after 0, 56, 112, 168 and 224 days. Steaks from Angus and Angus ...
