Dry-aged beef is a specialty meat product that has recently enjoyed an increase in popularity in the high-end food market. It is considered especially desirable for its unique flavors.
Previous research has shown U.S. consumers prefer the flavor of domestic beef over that of Australian (AUS) grass-fed beef or Canadian grain-fed beef, which uses similar grains as Australia.
Consumers often associate a bright-red color with beef freshness and wholesomeness. Higher-than-normal-pH conditions are an example of a color deviation in which beef failed to have a bright-red color, leading to discounted carcasses and economic losses to the meat industry.
The American Meat Science Association (AMSA) will welcome the world's meat science community to the 66th International Congress of Meat Science and Technology and 73rd Reciprocal Meat Conference (ICoMST/RMC) Aug. 2-7, 2020, in Orlando.
The objective of this study was to apply eye-tracking methodology in combination with traditional self-reported measures to further understand consumer perception of beef color and marbling.
Consumers tend to use color for judging meat quality and safety, and oftentimes color is a critical component of their purchase decision. Therefore, industry considers meat color as one of the most important considerations for determining shelf life of products.
In the U.S., water immersion chilling (WC) is commonly used to chill poultry while other regions of the world, such as the European Union (E.U.), prefer air chilling (AC).
It is typical for American Meat Science Association's annual Reciprocal Meat Conference to cater to large audiences with a wide variety of interests. Its 72nd year was no different. An underlying theme to all the keynote addresses and sessions, however, was the attention on the consumer.
Dry-aged beef has gained market share in Brazil over the last several years. Therefore, understanding the effects of the dry-aging process on beef quality, especially on the beef from Zebu cattle, is important because of the large volumes of production and availability of this cattle in that country.
To provide educators, the industry and ultimately consumers with more knowledge about proper handling behaviors (and accountability for food-safety problems), the team sought to learn more about how consumers handle fresh beef they buy in the store.
