Effects of breed, muscle type, and frozen storage on physico-chemical characteristics of lamb meat and its relationship with tenderness

The effects of breed, muscle types, and frozen storage time on the physico-chemical characteristics of the two most important China breeds were considered. Twenty-four lambs of Bashbay and Xinjiang Merino sheep of 7-9 months old were slaughtered, respectively, and frozen for 1, 7, 15, or 30 days. Th...

Zusammenfassung:The effects of breed, muscle types, and frozen storage time on the physico-chemical characteristics of the two most important China breeds were considered. Twenty-four lambs of Bashbay and Xinjiang Merino sheep of 7-9 months old were slaughtered, respectively, and frozen for 1, 7, 15, or 30 days. The meat pH, water holding capacity (WHC), intramuscular fat, cooking loss, myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI), moisture, shear force (SF), and connective tissue were measured at 24 h postmortem. These physico-chemical characteristics varied with breed and muscle types. Xinjiang Merino had a higher pH (P
