Augmentation of near-infrared (NIR) and in-plant beef video image analysis (VIA) systems to sort carcasses into tenderness categories
Price, Dennis Michael (2008-05)Scope and Method of Study: Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and video image analysis (VIA) are useful tools that can provide information about quality, yield, and tenderness of beef carcasses. The objectives of this study ... -
Benefits of Oxygen Scavenging Technology on Overwrapped Beef Cuts in a Modified Atmosphere Package
Cunningham, Sidney Bryan (Oklahoma State University, 2008-05-01)Determine the efficacy of different oxygen scavenging systems at reducing residual oxygen levels and improving color stability when overwrapped beef cuts are stored in a modified atmosphere mother bag.Findings and Conclusions: ... -
Characterizing the proteomic and mitochondrial functional differences between normal-pH and dark-cutting beef
Kiyimba, Frank (2019-12)Dark-cutting beef is an example of color deviation, in which beef fails to have a characteristic bright-red color. The overall goal of the current research was to determine the biochemical basis of dark-cutting beef. Two ... -
Comparison of the Effect of the Economic Recession on Certified Angus Beef to All Beef Products on Restaurant Menus
Henderson, Mary Katherine (Oklahoma State University, 2012-12-01)Beef remains the main source of protein in the American diet, even though per capita beef consumption has been declining since the 1970's. Of the many reasons suggested for this decline, the one of most concern recently ... -
Comparisons of technologies in beef production systems
Maxwell, Casey Lee (2014-05)Beef steers (n = 180; initial BW = 250 � 19 kg) were randomized to one of two treatments in the pasture phase. Steers were implanted with 40 mg of TBA, 8 mg estradiol, and 29 mg tylosin tartrate (Conventional; CONV-Z) or ... -
Management of newly received feedlot cattle and the effects of bovine respiratory disease on feedlot performance and carcass attributes
Holland, Ben Patrick (2009-07)The effects of serum haptoglobin (Hp) concentration on growing phase performance and Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) morbidity and mortality was evaluated using 337 heifer calves (initial BW = 241.3). Heifers were allocated ... -
Metabolomics of Muscle-specific Beef Color Stability
Abraham, Anupam (2016-12-01)Inherent metabolite differences in muscles can significantly affect biochemical properties and meat color. The objective was to compare metabolite profile differences between beef longissimus and psoas muscles during ... -
Methods to Counteract the Economically Critical Anti-Quality Meat Characteristics Imposed When Feeding Wet Distillers Grains to Finishing Cattle
Hanger, Katie Guinn (Oklahoma State University, 2010-05-01)The objective of this study was to determine the impact that pre-harvest anti-oxidant supplementation to cattle fed wet distiller's grains has on not only carcass yield and quality grade, but also color stability and ... -
Optimization of Ingredient and Process Parameters for Chicken Nuggets
Grumbles, Scott Louis (Oklahoma State University, 2008-12-01)The optimization of five different vegetable proteins (Arcon soy protein concentrate [ASP], Arcon Textured Vegetable Protein flour [ATVP], Supramax soy protein [SMXP], Solae Response soy protein [SRSP], and textured wheat ... -
Use of co-products from biofuels as a feed source for cattle and influence on the meat industry
Kinman, Lea Ann (2009-12)Scope and Method of Study: Due to increased production of ethanol, frequency of distillers grains (DG) is on the rise. The objective was to determine the effects of wet (WDG) or dry (DDG) distillers grains on final product ...
