Six heads of western mixed cattle with consistent feeding management and weighing around 600 kg each were selected for slaughtering,and the effects of different storage temperatures and different acid removal time on the changes of beef quality were investigated.The results showed that:At different temperatures,the total number of bacteria showed an increasing trend with the prolongation of acid drainage time. From the point of view of cooking loss,the optimal acid drainage temperature was 4 ℃,and the optimal acid drainage time was 24 h. In the pH test,the optimal acid drainage temperature was 4 ℃,and the optimal acid drainage time was 72 h. From the point of view of the value of volatile salty nitrogen,the optimal acid drainage temperature was 0 ℃.From the point of view of dripping loss,the optimal acid drainage time was 48-72 h.In summary,under the condition of controlling the hygiene of the acid removal room during the slaughter process,the optimal effect of acid
removal is 48-72 h at 4 ℃. |
