EFFECTS OF ELECTRICAL STIMULATION AND KIDNEY-PELVIC FAT REMOVAL BEFORE CHILLING ON MICROBIAL QUALITY OF BEEF TENDERLOINS.

Type of article: Article

Summary

24 STEERS (435-567 KG) WERE USED TO STUDY THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRICAL STIMULATION (50 V FOR 120 S) AND OF KIDNEY-PELVIC FAT REMOVAL BEFORE CHILLING: 276-277 K (3-4 DEG C) ON MICROBIAL POPULATIONS OF BEEF TENDERLOINS ON DAYS 1, 4 AND 7 POSTMORTEM. THE STATISTICAL MODEL FOR DATA ANALYSIS INCLUDED THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRICAL STIMULATION, CHILL-DAY, FAT REMOVAL, LOCATION, AND ALL MAIN EFFECT INTERACTIONS. ELECTRICAL STIMULATION PRODUCED SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER BACTERIAL COUNTS FOR FAT-INTACT SURFACES ON CHILL-DAY 7 AND FOR FAT-REMOVED SURFACES ON CHILL-DAY 4.
