The four-rank visual DES scoring scheme for destructured ham cuts, including the semimembranosus and adductor muscle_ Scoring was based on evaluating structural disintegration and visual color (adapted from [19, 24])_
Score | ||||
Visual colour | Reddish (> 3) | From pale to reddish (1 - 3) | Very pale (1 - 2) | |
Muscle structure defect | Compact fibre structure | Absence of fibrillar structure in the affected area Destructured meat |
Absence of fibrillar structure in the affected area Soft and doughy, destructured meat Fluid exudate |
|
Area affected | None | Small areas on the surface with single patches of destructured zones | More than 50% of both muscle areas Lesions beneath the surface | |
Observations | No visible defects | Small, pale areas on the surface | Lesion less than approx. 2cm in depth | Lesion more than approx. 2cm in depth |
