Staged injection marination with calcium lactate, phosphate and salt may improve beef water-binding ability and palatability traits

Semitendinosus and longissimus muscles from USDA Select carcasses were used to investigate the effects of staged injection of calcium lactate followed by phosphate and salt (PS) on water-binding ability and palatability traits. Calcium lactate (0.2 M) and PS (8.4% and 4.2%, respectively) were sequen...

Description
Summary:Semitendinosus and longissimus muscles from USDA Select carcasses were used to investigate the effects of staged injection of calcium lactate followed by phosphate and salt (PS) on water-binding ability and palatability traits. Calcium lactate (0.2 M) and PS (8.4% and 4.2%, respectively) were sequentially injected (5.5% by weight) into muscles with 0, 1, 3, or 5 h holding time between injections. Treatments also included a double pump of 0.1 M calcium lactate with 0 h holding time between injections and a non-marinated control. Injection of calcium lactate and PS increased ( P
