Recommended Procedures for Use in the Measurement of Meat Colour

  • Chapter
The Future of Beef Production in the European Community

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science ((CTVM,volume 5))

Abstract

The recommended procedures contained in this document for measuring colour do not include any method for visually judging muscle and fat. Subjective scales of colour quality would be of great value if they could be constructed but it is not yet possible to establish scales with terms that meet the requirements of all countries.

(on behalf of the Colour Committee, Quality Assessment Group)
