Factors affecting meat texture from Nellore and crossbreed Limousin-Nellore steers
The objective of this work was to evaluate factors affecting meat texture from Nellore and crossbreed Limousin-Nellore steers. Fifty steers, 25 Nellore and 25 Limousin-Nellore, were randomly divided in five groups of 10 animals (five from each genetic group) and serially slaughtered during 204 days. Meat temperature and pH data were monitored during 24 hours post mortem. After this, fat thickness and rib area were measured. Longissimus dorsi muscle was removed to quality evaluation before and after 14 days ageing period. Crossbreed animals rib areas were higher. Fat thickness and marbling values from both genetic groups were similar. Live slaughter weight and fat content affected decrease of pH and temperature, but didn't result in difference in shear force. Crossbreed animals the most tender meat. Ageing process was responsible for 30% reduction in shear force, so this was, associated to genetic group, was the principal factor affecting meat texture.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar fatores que influenciam a textura da carne de novilhos Nelore e cruzados Limousin-Nelore. Cinqüenta novilhos, 25 Nelore e 25 Limousin-Nelore, foram aleatoriamente divididos em cinco grupos de 10 animais (cinco de cada grupo genético), para o abate seriado, até 204 dias. Os valores de temperatura e pH muscular foram monitorados durante 24 horas após o abate. Em seguida, foram medidas a espessura de cobertura de gordura e a área de olho de lombo. O músculo longissimus dorsi retirado foi dividido para avaliação qualitativa do músculo sem maturação e submetido à maturação por 14 dias. A área de olho de lombo foi maior em animais cruzados. Os valores de cobertura de gordura e gordura intramuscular foram semelhantes entre os grupos genéticos. Peso ao abate e teor de gordura afetaram as quedas de pH e temperatura, mas não resultaram em diferenças na força de cisalhamento. Os animais cruzados apresentaram carne mais macia que os animais Nelore. A maturação causou redução de 30% na força de cisalhamento e foi, com o fator genético, o parâmetro que mais influenciou a textura da carne.
