Proteomic approaches for the identification of biomarkers of beef tenderness from Longissimus thoracis muscles and plasma of young Limousin-sired bulls
The palatability of beef, i.e., tenderness, juiciness, chewiness, and flavour, is an essential predictor of the eating experience of beef consumers. As the leading factor influencing palatability, beef tenderness can vary considerably even for the same breed and muscle type, due to intricate …
