Summary

BESIDES BREED DIFFERENCES, THE SEX AND AGE OF THE ANIMAL AND LOCATION OF CUT ARE IMPORTANT FOR TENDERNESS. VARIATIONS ARE CAUSED HERE MAINLY BY THE DIFFERENT AMOUNT AND STATE OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE. POST SLAUGHTER CHILLING MAY CAUSE CONTRACTION. ESSENTIAL IS FURTHERMORE THE AGEING OF BEEF WHICH MUST LAST AT 273-276 K (0-3 DEG C) STORAGE TEMPERATURE AT LEAST 2 WEEKS. DURING PREPARATION OF MEAT BY COOKING THE MEAT IS MOST TENDER AFTER HEATING TO ABOUT 333 K (60 DEG C).
