title: Effect of phosphate, ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol injected at one-location with tumbling on quality of roast beef.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate if continuous non-vacuum or vacuum tumbling improves the quality of roast beef utilizing the one location injection. Basically, fresh roast beef treated by one location injection with tumbling had significantly different quality compared to non-tumbled ones. However, the cooked roast beef did not significantly exhibit better quality due to tumbling. There was insignificant difference of TBARS value for whole meat among treatments at day 0. The control had significantly higher TBARS value compared to roast beef with non-vacuum and vacuum tumbled samples at day 2. At 4, 7 and 14 days of refrigerated storage, the control maintained the significantly highest values when compared to the other treatments that had similar TBARS values. The addition of three antioxidants was the major contributor to lipid stability of the cooked roast beef.
