Role of Bone Structure
- Acts as a guide for cutting carcasses.
- Indicates cut tenderness:
- Cuts with thoracic/lumbar bones are tender.
- Cuts from tibia, radius, and ulna are tougher.
- Cuts with scapula, humerus, and femur have medium tenderness.
- Assists in cut identification and age determination of the animal.
General Fabrication Procedures
- Chill carcasses at 2°C:
- 48 hours for carabeef and beef.
- 24 hours for pork.
- Cut pork carcass at 16°C.
Wholesale Cuts of Beef/Carabeef
