The drying behavior of fresh, matured, and frozen beef, marinated with 0.5% salt, 1% salt vinegar, blind samples, dried at 70°C, was investigated. Weight color (CIELAB) were measured images the samples created a hyperspectral imaging camera. Results show that marinade type beef influences but not final color. from it is possible to build good fitting prediction models resulting in high R2 (min. 0.81, max. 0.98) low RMSE 0.08, 2.35) for moisture content, a* b* values.
<p>Beef quality parameters can be negatively affected by pre-slaughter stress. Slaughter via gunshot directly on the pasture appears to suitable for reduction of stress avoiding stressors such as transportation, lairage and human contact. The effect slaughtering sensory objective measures beef <em>Musculus longissimus dorsi </em>of Galloway steers was analyzed compared conventional slaughter at abattoir using captive-bolt stunning. Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF)...
The drying of beef has gained an increasing interest and the organic market shows demand for dried products. In this study, meat slices were at 50 °C, 60 °C 70 °C. Moisture content color was measured throughout process alongside Vis/VNIR hyperspectral images slices. results total difference (ΔE) showed biggest change samples (ΔE = 25.6). aw value lowest (0.744). data gave promising regarding non-invasive prediction moisture color. Keywords: drying; behavior;color; imaging; quality.
The slaughter method via gunshot implies a stunning of cattle by means targeted shot from rifle and is as an alternative to regular at abattoirs. This only permitted under restricted circumstances if the held on pasture all year. However, there considerable lack specifications regulated law concerning calibre bullet-type. In this study, four different calibres, two bullet-types placements were investigated with respect their efficiency. All calibres exhibited entry-energy over 400 J provided...
A planned box stable with multiple interfaces – openings is observed by simulation technique to analyse its ammonia emission behaviour [1]. There data are used as starting point of distribution calculations. The use the program AUSTAL2000G [2] demanded from administration. Its requires a default mass flow. This flow value related animal or place and listed in tables. In particular case, these factors multiplied relevant place, respectively. Especially for open stables false conditions...
