Abstract
Quality characteristics, textural properties, and solubility of collagen were determined for two different methods of heating, duration of heating, and end temperature of the product. Properties of connective tissue and collagen solubilization were studied by determining shear cohesiveness, shear firmness and hydroxyproline solubilized. The microwave heating of meat samples solubilized more collagen than did the conventional method of heating. The data showed significant variations among the samples for percent hydroxyproline solubilized by microwave heating. Differences in shear cohesiveness and firmness were established for microwave and conventionally heated samples. Water holding capacity and moisture content of meat heated by microwave were similar to those heated by boiling.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
