are cuts that come from the muscle parts most used
by the animal, like hocks, chuck and flank

`B-Complex (Thiamin, Niacin, Riboflavin)- need for mental health and digestion
Vitamin B6- strong immune system
Vitamin B12- maintains a good blood supply
Minerals
Iron- combines with Protein to form hemoglobin
Zinc- forms enzymes and insulin
Phosphorus- works with Calcium to form strong bones and teeth
Changes in Meat after Death
1) Muscle is pliant, soft, gel like, sticky, immediately after death
2) A few minutes to 1 hr. – muscle shortens, become rigid, hard, inflexible. Should not be cooked at this time
3) After a few days – gradual tenderization, after freezing. This is the time to cook the meat
As animal ages; its thymus gland shrinks; therefore, sweetbreads are not available from older cattle or sheep
Sweetbreads – these are the thymus glands of veal and lamb..
Liver, heart, kidney, and tongue of beef, veal, lamb and pork.
Tripe – the inner lining of the stomach of ruminant (cud-chewing) animals.

Ham is a pork product that has been cured (salted) or smoked

Calves under the age of nine months. (8-16 weeks)
lighter in color than beef,
more delicate flavor
generally more tender.
Meat from calves slaughtered when they are older than five months is called calf.

It can be cooked by almost any method

The breast & the wing flesh of chicken & turkey lighter in color than thighs and legs
due to higher concentration of protein myoglobin
Broiler – young with soft, smooth and textured skin, relatively lean, flexible breastbones … Age:13 weeks, Weight: 1.5kg or less
Roaster – young with tender meat, smooth textured skin, breastbones are less flexible Age: 3-5 mons Weight: 1.5-2kg
When selecting live poultry choose those hat are alert, well feathered, and well formed
Hunted birds, similar to the form of live poultry but no longer alive
These are slaughtered poultry with head, feet and viscera intact. Blood and feathers are removed
These are slaughtered poultry with head, feet and viscera intact. Blood and feathers are removed
Factors that Affect Poultry Tenderness
Birds that struggle before or during slaughter cause rigor to set in to quickly
Exposure to environmental stresses before slaughter will cause a similar situation
High pre-slaughter stunning temperatures
High scalding temperatures
Longer scalding times
Machine picking
Can all contribute to poultry being tougher
Tenderness of boneless cuts are influenced by the time between death (postmortem) and deboning
To avoid toughening meat can be aged for 6-24 hours before deboning
This is costly for the processor
