MEAT and MEAT PRODUCTS Mr Staneley MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS Mr Staneley Meat is probably our most important food, accounting to a major share of our total expenditure on foods. Cattle, sheep, and pigs are reared for fresh meat and certain pigs are specifically produced for bacon. The animals are humanely killed and the meat prepared in hygienic conditions. The skins or hides are removed, the innards are taken out of the carcass and the offal put aside. Carcass of beef is split into two sides and those of lambs, sheep, pigs and calves are left whole. They are then chilled in a cold room and therefore being sent to the market. To cook meat properly it is necessary to know and understand the structure of meat. Lean flesh is composed of muscles which are numerous bundles of fibres held together by connective tissues. The sizes of these fibres are extremely small, especially in tender cuts or cuts from young animals. Only the coarsest fibres may be distinguished by the naked eyes. The size of the fibres varies in length, depth and thickness and this variation will affect the grain and the texture of the meat CHOOSING MEAT -Buy meat from clean, well ventilated shops -choose the cut of meat suitable for the method of cooking which is to be used -the grain should appear fine and even -the colour should be good for the type of meat a) beef-bright red lean finely grained and white fat b) mutton/lamb-light red, lean and hard and white fat c) Veal –pale pink lean and little white fat -there should be no unpleasant odour. -the amount of bone should not be excessive -Young rabbits are much tenderer than old ones and these can be identified by:- 1. Their pale flesh 2. Short claws 3. Brittle easily cracked jawbones METHODS OF COOKING MEAT Most methods of cooking can be used for one or other cuts of meat, but general rules are as follows; bearing in mind that the objective of cooking is to remove the raw appearance without over coagulating the proteins or losing the minerals and extraction. Roasting- is unsuitable for good quality, tender, thick cuts or for rolled and stuffed thin cuts eg.breast. Boiling- is suitable for tough meat. Grilling- should be used for thinly cut pieces of good quality. Frying-as for grilling; Stewing-is suitable for inferior quality meats which require long, slow cooking to make tender and need the added flavor of vegetables,etc to improve the characteristics insipidity. During cooking, the proteins in meat are coagulated and made pleasant to eat but less easily digested. The ease with which they can be digested depends; A).on the degree of toughness, often the cause of the success or failure of the cooking. B].on the amount of fat present. C].on the flavor. When meat is boiled the outside albumen must be set to prevent the inner juices from being extracted. Therefore it should be placed initially in boiling water. If all the albumen is coagulated quickly however the resulting joint will be tough. Therefore to soften the fibres slowly, the heat must then escape, so liquor in which meat is boiled should be used as stock for sauces and soups. When meat is stewed the juices are allowed to escape and the resulting gravy is served as part of the dish. The long, slow cooking gradually softens tough fibres and these must on no account be hardened by boiling When the meat is roasted the fat should traditionally be hot when meat is placed in it in order to coagulate the surface albumen. After 10 minutes, the heat should be lowered so that the inner tissues are cooked slowly. The joint should be basted every half an hour to prevent shrinkage and drying, unless cooked in foil or roasting bag. However automatic oven-roasting has shown that meat can be quite successfully cooked in what is initially a cold oven gradually raised to the prescribed heat When meat is grilled only thin pieces should be used(not more than 5cm thick).if the meat has no fat of its own it should be brushed with oil before the inside is cooked, but care should be taken not to pierce the flesh with fork prongs because this would liberate juices BEEF The hanging or maturing of beef at chilly temperature of 1oc for up to 14 days has the effect of increasing tenderness and flavour.This hanging process is essential as animals are generally slaughtered around at the age of 18-21 months and the beef can be tough. Also a short time after death, an animal muscles stiffen, a condition known as rigor mortis.After a time chemical actions caused by enzymes and increasing acidity relax the muscles and the meat becomes soft and tender as meat continuous to hang in storage rigor mortis is lost and the tenderness,flavour and moist increases Nb pork other, lamb and veal are obtained from young animals so that toughness is not a significant factor VEAL Veal is the meat of milk fed calves not over 12weeks of age.it has very little fat covering and high moisture content. Consequently, it will dry out very quickl, if left to hang in the refrigerator too long or if cooked too long or at too high a temperature. Veal carcasses will average in weight from 27kg-72kg, but the best veal is slaughtered when between 6-8 weeks old and weighs a bought 57kg. Veal flesh contains a very delicate flavour and for this reason blends very well with foods and savory sauces. Veal is always tender it will cook quickly and it will display a fine appearance when served. Above all, it will blend with many of the popular sauces LAMB AND MUTTON Lamb is the flesh of immature sheep, both male and female, approximately 6-12 months old. Mutton is the flesh of mature sheep, both female and male approximately 20 month or older. There is a great deal of differences between the eating qualities of the two. Lamb is more slightly tougher depending on its age and quite strong in flavour. PORK The keeping quality of pork is less than that of any other meat; therefore it should be handled, prepared and cooked with great care. Pork must always be well cooked because trichinellae (parasitic worm) may be present in the meat and must be destroyed by heat. If they are present in the meat and are not destroyed in cooking, they will continue to live in the human body STORAGE FRESH MEAT Fresh meat must be hung to allow it to become tender Ideal storage temperature for fresh meat is -1oc at a relative humidity of 90%.safe storage times, under hygienic conditions at these temperature are:- -beef up to 3 weeks -Veal up to 1-3 weeks -Lamb up to 10-15 days -pork up to 7-14days Meat should be suspended on hooks BACON Bacon is kept in a well ventilated cold room Joints of bacon should be hanged on hooks Cut bacon is kept on trays in the refrigerator or cold room PREPARATION During preparation, storage temperatures should be maintained for safe cooking joint of meat should be no larger than 2.5kg.larger joints should be divided into small portions Cutting boards should be colour coded to separate raw from cooked meats. This reduces the risk of cross contamination. Frozen meat should be thawed in refrigerators PRESERVATION SALTING Meat can be pickled in brine and this method of preservation may be applied to silverside, brisket and ox-tongue. Salting is also used in the production of bacon before the sides of pork are smoked. This also applies to ham CHILLING This means that meat is kept at a temperature just above freezing point in a controlled atmosphere. Chilled meat can not be kept in the usual type of cold room for more than a few days and this is sufficient time for the meat to hang enabling it to become tender. FREEZING:-Small carcasses such as lamb and mutton can be frozen and the quality is not affected by the freezing. They can be kept frozen until required and then thawed out before being used. Some beef is frozen but it is inferior in quality to chilled beef. CANNING Large quantities of meat are canned and it is of importance since it has a very high protein content .pork is used for tinned luncheon .

  • Information on How to Buy Lamb
    LAMB Lamb is produced from animals less than a year old. Since the quality of lamb varies according to the age of the animal, it is advisable to buy lamb that has been USDA-graded. USDA Prime: Prime grade lamb is very high in tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. It has moderate marbling, which enhances both flavor and juiciness. Prime chops and roasts are excellent for dry-heat cooking (broiling and roasting). USDA Choice: Choice grade lamb has slightly less marbling than Prime, but still is of very high quality. Choice chops and roasts also are very tender, juicy, and flavorful and suited to dry-heat cooking. Lower grades of lamb and mutton (USDA Good, Utility, and Cull) are seldom marked with the grade if sold at retail. Most cuts of USDA Prime and Choice lamb - including shoulder cuts - are tender and can be oven roasted, broiled, or pan broiled. A leg of lamb graded Choice or Prime, for example, is delectable when oven roasted. The less tender cuts - the breast, riblets, neck, and shank - can be braised slowly to make excellent (and tender) lamb dishes. Meat from older sheep is called yearling mutton or mutton and, if it is graded, these words will be stamped on the meat along with the shield-shaped grade mark. Grades for yearling mutton and mutton are the same as for lamb, except that mutton does not qualify for the Prime grade and the Cull grade applies only to mutton. The best way to identify lamb cuts is with the lamb carcass chart shown above.

  • United States Standards for Grades of Lamb, Yearling Mutton, and Mutton Carcasses
    United States Department of Agriculture United States Standards Agricultural Marketing for Grades of Service Livestock Lamb, Yearling Mutton, and and Seed Division Mutton Carcasses Effective date July 6, 1992 United States Standards for Grades of Lamb, Yearling Mutton, and Mutton Carcasses The following is a reprint of the Official United States Standards for the Grades of Lamb, Yearling Mutton, and Mutton Carcasses promulgated by the Secretary of Agriculture under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 1087; 7 U.S.C. 1621-1627) as amended and related authority in the annual appropriation acts for the Department of Agriculture. The standards are reprinted with amendments effective July 6, 1992. Development of the Standards The official standards for grades of lamb and mutton carcasses were initially promulgated and made effective on February 16, 1931. The standards were amended in October 1940 (Amendment No. 1 to S.R.A. 123) so as to change the grade designations Medium and common to Commercial and Utility, respectively. In April 1951, the official standards were again amended (Amendment No. 2 to S.R.A. 123). By this amendment, Prime and Choice grades were combined and designated as Prime. The Good grade was renamed Choice, which also became the highest grade for carcasses of mutton older than yearlings. The top two-thirds of the Commercial grade was combined with the top two-third of the Utility grade and designated as Utility, thereby eliminating the Commercial grade name. The lower one-third of the Utility grade was combined with the Cull grade and designated as Cull. This amendment also provided for reflecting the minimum requirements for each grade, specified the grade requirements for varying degrees of maturity, and clarified the method for differentiating between lamb, yearling mutton, and mutton carcasses.

  • Factors Affecting the Palatability of Lamb Meat
    Factors Affecting the Palatability of Lamb Meat Susan K. Duckett University of Georgia Introduction In the last 43 years, per capita consumption of lamb in the United States has declined to a level of 0.81 lb per person annually on a boneless, retail weight basis (CattleFax, 2003; Figure 1). In contrast, per capita consumption of total meat products has increased 28% to about 194 lb per person annually in this same time period (Figure 2). In 2003, per capita consumption of beef, pork, poultry and fish products was estimated at 62, 48, 68,and 15 lb (boneless, retail weight basis), respectively. These consumption patterns indicate that Americans continue to consume greater amounts of meat in their diet; however, lamb consumption continues to decline. In a survey conducted of 600 households (Ward et al., 1995; Tulsa, OK), consumers were asked to rank seven meats including beef, chicken, fish, lamb, pork, turkey, and veal on taste, cholesterol content, nutritional content, economic value, fat, convenience, and overall preference (scale: 1st would be most desirable and 7th would be least desirable for these traits). Consumers identified taste as one of the most important factors when purchasing meat and ranked lamb last (lowest preference) among the seven meats for taste and overall preference (Table 1). Consumers ranked lamb 5th for cholesterol level, 6th for nutritional content, and 5th for fat level. Lamb is higher in polyunsaturated fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (anticarcinogen), and lower in total fat content than grain-fed beef (Figure 3); however, most consumers appear unaware of potential nutritional benefits from including lamb in the diet.

  • Sensory Evaluation of Various Lamb Meat Foods by Judging Consumers
    KUKOVICS & NÉMETH: SENSORY EVALUATION OF LAMB MEAT FOODS BY CONSUMERS Acta Alimentaria, Vol. 43 (2), pp. 254–263 (2014) DOI: 10.1556/AAlim.43.2014.2.9 SENSORY EVALUATION OF VARIOUS LAMB MEAT FOODS BY JUDGING CONSUMERS S. KUKOVICS* and T. NÉMETH Research Institute for Animal Breeding and Nutrition, 2053 Herceghalom, Gesztenyés u. 1. Hungary (Received: 6 November 2012; accepted: 24 February 2013) Four kinds of lamb meat foods (Wiener sausage, ham, roasted meat, and roasted leg) were developed based on 8 different genotypes to improve lamb meat quality and quantity, and to study the differences among them. The stringiness, flavour, and odour of the products were judged in food sensory evaluation by a total of 265 (60% male and 40% female) randomly selected consumers. In stringiness and flavour five (from 1 to 5), and concerning odour three (from 1 to 3) categories were created according to decreasing quality. The consumers represented different age groups: below 20 years, between 21–30, 31–40, 41–50, 51–60, 61–70, and above 70 years. The groups of consumers were involved in sheep farming, other animal farming, other agriculture sector, industry, catering, education, other service; administrative department of the state, were students, and others. Analyses of variance were calculated to estimate the effects of the genotype of lamb, the gender, age, and occupation of judging consumers on the sensory evaluation of the meat foods. In conclusion, new lamb meat foods were highly appreciated by consumers, who made definite distinctions among genotypes according to flavour, stinginess, and odour. There were significant interactions between gender, age, and occupation of consumers as well as sensory evaluation of various lamb meat foods.

  • Tongue by Jennifer Mclagan from Odd Bits: How to Cook
    Tongue By Jennifer McLagan from Odd Bits: How to Cook the Rest of the Animal How to Choose: The world of tongues is vast. Duck tongues, popular in Asian cuisines, are tiny and have a small bone that makes them fiddly. In this section, I limit myself to beef, veal, lamb, and pork tongues; if you have access to game animals, don’t hesitate to use their tongues in these recipes. The bigger the tongue, the coarser its texture, so I prefer tongues around 31/3 pounds /1.5 kg or less, as their texture is finer. While veal tongues are the most prized, beef, lamb, and pork tongues are all worth eating. Tongues can be bought fresh, frozen, brined, and sometimes smoked. Often your only choice will be a frozen one, especially with beef or veal tongue. The color of a tongue can vary from pink with a gray cast to almost all gray. Sometimes the skin of the tongue is quite mottled, often with odd dark spots. The color and the dark patches are no indication of quality; they are just a result of the animal’s breed. Tongues have a thick, bumpy skin, and often there is fat and gristle still attached at the base of the tongue, none of which is very appealing and all of which is easily removed after the tongue is poached. Besides availability, taste and size will influence your choice. Veal and lamb tongues are the mildest in taste, followed by beef and pork tongue. Pork tongue often comes with the head, and I prefer it in headcheese rather than by itself.
