Summary

Experiments into the effect of cooling rate on beef tenderness were carried out on animals with a weight of 200 kg and aged ca. 13 months. Five animals were chilled conventionally at 0 deg C and 5 with a moderate chilling rate of 12 hours at 16 deg C followed by 0 deg C, the latter being more tender and consumer acceptable. This was confirmed by sensory analysis in the laboratory, in a retail outlet and at home. G.R.S.
