D. Explain the yield and quality grades of meat • Quality Grade: based on two factors: 1- Maturityof the carcass - determined by observing bone and cartilage. -Young carcass=soft bone with pearl white cartilage -Old carcass= Low amounts of cartilage and hard bones -older carcass= less tender meat 2- Amount of Marbling “Marbling”- intramuscular fat or flecks of fat in the lean muscle that gives it taste
Seven Quality Grades: Prime 1-Prime 4-Standard 2-Choice 5-Commercial 3-Select 6-Utility Commercial Choice Select Utility Standard
E. Describe the influence grade has on preparation procedures and retail price Retail Price: Consumers are willing to pay a higher price for higher quality meat. VS
Cooking Procedures • Meat with more marbling is more tender and can be cooked at a higher temperature • Meat with little marbling is tougher and therefore needs to be cooked at a lower temp over a long period of time.
F. List signs and causes of meat spoilage Meat is considered “spoiled” when it is unfit for human consumption. The major causes of spoiling are: • Microorganisms • Bacteria • Yeast • Mold
Signs of Meat Spoilage • Odor • Slime • Mold Growth • Discoloration
