Meat scientists advise delaying quick chilling for tenderness
Texas A M University TAES researchers presented at the 67th annual meeting of the American Society of Animal Science that delaying postmortem chilling can tenderize beef. In 53 cattle, one side stayed warm for 12 hours before entering a near cold cooler, while the other side cooled after one hour. delayed chilling improved connective tissue and overall tenderness, likely by reducing cold shortening and boosting enzyme activity.
