Extract

The beef industry has become increasingly concerned about the eating quality of beef, and the effect this may be having on consumer demand. Much research has been carried out on beef eating quality using expert taste panels. However, it was felt that a clearer understanding of the variation in beef as prepared commercially and those factors affecting eating quality which are important in the market place, could be achieved by using consumer taste panels preparing and eating beef under normal domestic conditions.
