Study Notes
Physical Quality of Beef in Traditional Markets
- Increased meat demand in Indonesia correlates with rising population, leading to higher consumption of animal protein.
- Beef is a significant source of protein, aiming to ensure quality for safe consumption.
- In 2020, beef consumption was approximately 2.31 kg per capita, around 628,000 tons, with projections suggesting further increases in 2021.
Research Methodology
- Study conducted in Ambon City over two months, sampling 1 kg of fresh beef from six different sellers in traditional markets.
- Key evaluations included moisture content, pH levels, cooking loss, and water holding capacity (WHC) using a completely randomized design (CRD).
Water Content and pH Levels
- Water content ranged from 74.83% to 76.04%, within acceptable norms.
- Standard pH levels were between 5.47 and 5.87, indicative of normal conditions that inhibit bacterial growth.
Cooking Loss and Water Holding Capacity (WHC)
- Cooking loss figures varied from 26.84% to 38.51%, influenced by muscle fiber structure and age of the cattle.
- WHC values were measured between 28.98% and 37.15%, aligning with normal ranges of 20% to 60%.
Implications of the Findings
- High water content in beef contributes to microbial growth, posing risks to meat quality over time.
- Cooking loss is an indicator of the meat’s ability to retain moisture during cooking, affecting texture and flavor.
Nutritional Context
- Beef provides roughly 18.26% protein and is essential in enhancing nutritional value in the population.
- With a rising need for animal protein, understanding beef quality aids consumers in making informed purchasing decisions.
Conclusion
- The study emphasizes the importance of physical quality testing in ensuring the meat's safety and suitability for consumption in traditional markets.
