Beef chuck muscle isolation has no effect on premium ground beef programs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)This experiment evaluated whether isolating certain muscles from the chuck for retail sale and excluding them from the ground beef mix changes the number of days that ground chuck is acceptable to consumers. Chucks were ... -
Comprehensive approach to dietary inclusion of high oleic soybean oil in monogastrics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)The banning of partially hydrogenated oils in food processing by the FDA has led to a search for alternative oil sources with a decreased potential for oxidation. While marketed and founded for use in the food industry, ... -
Determining pork fat quality of pigs fed 20% DGS as measured by three methods with a standard industry marketing strategy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Fat quality is important in meat products as it can influence further processing characteristics and pork export potential. The use of non-traditional fat sources such as dried distillers grain with solubles (DDGS) changes ... -
Dietary fat source alters pork fat quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)During the last decade, several changes have taken place in the swine industry. There has been an increase in the use of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) which, depending on the level included in the diet, may ... -
Effects of conjugated linoleic acid on tissue lipid composition and bone remodeling in an ovariectomized aged rat model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Dietary fat is known to alter certain characteristics of bone metabolism in rats. CLA has been shown to decrease arachidonic acid and PGE2, thus ... -
Essential oil effects on rumen fermentation, animal performance, and meat quality of beef steers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Efficiency in ruminants has historically been improved by using antibiotics and ionophores to alter rumen fermentation. Nutritionists, however, have begun searching for alternative rumen modifiers due to the negative ... -
Evaluating pig performance, carcass merit and processed pork quality when chestnuts and acorns are fed to Duroc-influenced pig genetics during late finishing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)The objective of this study was to determine effects of feeding chestnuts and acorns on growth performance, carcass quality and further processed products of Duroc/Duroc crossbred finishing barrows. Barrows (n = 30) were ... -
Evaluation of exogenous plant based enzymes in a low-cost foodservice beef model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)This study was performed to determine the effects of an exogenous enzyme on the tenderness of beef hanging tenders over a 3-day storage period. The objectives were to evaluate the Slice Shear Force, myofibrillar fragmentation ... -
Evaluation of the retail display life of ground beef stored in modified atmosphere packaging and modern lighting conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Color is the most important factor in decision making for the consumer in the retail setting. The objective of this study was to determine the color stability of ground beef patties packaged in modified atmosphere packaging ... -
Feed additives affect pork quality and shelf-life from pigs fed ethanol co-products and pork subject to three storage methods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Two experiments were performed to determine the effect of corn distiller's dried grains with solubles on meat quality when fed at two different inclusion ... -
Growth, performance and quality attributes of steers supplemented with high oleic soybean oil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Growing concerns with saturated fatty acids on human health has led to research being done to reduce saturated fatty acid levels in animal tissues. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of high oleic soybean ... -
Impact of zymannase on growth performance, carcass characteristics, fat quality and processed meats in finishing barrow fed 30% dried distiller's grains with solubles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] As ethanol production continues to increase, so does the use of dried distiller's grains with solubles (DDGS) in swine diets. The effects of high ... -
Novel feed additives to improve lipid profiles in pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Opportunities to export high quality pork products to trade partners like Japan are economically favorable outlets for US pork producers. Domestic consumers also rely heavily on fresh pork appearance, especially color and ... -
Quality characteristics of ground round formulated with three fat sources
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)This research was performed to determine if changing the source of fat for inclusion in ground beef from the round will cause a change in the number of days that the ground beef has a viable shelf-life as influenced by ...
