Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine and compare the collagen profile of two beef carcass cuts: silverside (M. semitendinosus) and strip loin (M. longissimus lumborum), originated from Polish Holstein-Friesian bulls of the black and white variety. Silverside showed higher total, acid-soluble, total soluble, and insoluble collagen content than strip loin. Significant differences between silverside and strip loin were noted in their share of water-soluble and acid-soluble collagen (% total collagen, P<0.05). The thermal treatment caused cooking losses, which reached 38% in strip loin and 40% in silverside. There were no significant differences in shear force values or organoleptic quality between the cuts, which indicates their similar usefulness as meat for roasting. The content and profile of intramuscular collagen did not influence the organoleptic quality or shear force values of silverside and strip loin.
