Structural changes in collagen and aggrecan during extended aging may improve beef tenderness

The aim of this study was to characterize structural and property modifications of intramuscular connective tissue (IMCT) during extended aging. Longissimus lumborum (LL), Gluteus medius (GM), and Gastrocnemius (GT) muscles were collected from 10 USDA choice carcasses, fabricated and assigned to one...

Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to characterize structural and property modifications of intramuscular connective tissue (IMCT) during extended aging. Longissimus lumborum (LL), Gluteus medius (GM), and Gastrocnemius (GT) muscles were collected from 10 USDA choice carcasses, fabricated and assigned to one of four aging periods: 3, 21, 42, or 63 days (n = 120). As expected, tenderness improved, and IMCT texture weakened after 21 days of postmortem aging (dpm; P
