ABSTRACT The relationship between perception of tenderness and chewing activity was explored using the Time-Intensity measurement of perception and electromyographic measurements of masseter muscle movement. Semitendinosus muscles from eight treatments of forage fed beef were evaluated by nine individuals. The Time-Intensity parameters of Area Under the Curve and Decrease Area were the most useful for treatment separation based on tenderness. Information was obtained from the electromyogram regarding the number of chews, time to chew and mastication rate. However, more work with EMG measurements is required to accurately study the effect of masticatory patterns on tenderness perception. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
