Recapitulation on the status of very fast chilling.

Author(s) : DRANSFIELD E.

Type of excerpt: Book chapter

Summary

Although fast cooling can bring about tender meat, variability in tenderness is increased and the industry is unlikely to implement such a process which has few other advantages. Rigor development appears to be a key mechanism in the process and future work should be concentrated in this area. A basic lack of understanding concerns texture itself. Authors are unaware of the precise origins of the unique texture of meat. They should attempt to identify the structural origins of meat texture, possibly by extending the research programme in that direction.
