Abstract:
M. biceps femoris (BF), m. semimembranosus (SM) and m. semitendinosus (ST) from fresh pork ham were evaluated for characteristics of quality after cooking to an internal endpoint temperature of 62 °C or 73 °C. Fresh ham muscles from the left side (N = 68) were cut into 2.54 cm thick chops and allocated to cooking loss, Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF), pH and instrumental cooked color analysis. Cooking losses were greater (p 〈 0.0001) for SM and chops cooked to an internal temperature of 73 °C (p 〈 0.0001), whereas WBSF did not differ (p = 0.2509) among the three muscles, but was greater (p 〈 0.0001) in chops cooked to 73 °C. Fresh muscle’s pH was greater (p 〈 0.05) in ST than BF or SM. Lastly, the interactive effect (p 〈 0.05) of muscle × endpoint temperature for ST chops cooked to 73 °C was lighter (L*), but, when cooked to 62 °C, they were more red (a*), more yellow (b*) and incurred less color change from red to brown than BF or SM. The current results suggest it is plausible for BF, SM and ST to be considered for alternative uses instead of traditional value-added manufacturing.
