The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the sensory and instrumental quality of thawed beef steak prepared by searing and oven cooking. Beef purchased in the local market was divided into two groups; one group was cooked in a 180℃ oven until the internal temperature reached 60℃, and the other group was oven cooked until 35℃, then cooked in a 250℃ pan until the internal temperature reached 60℃. Despite a noticeable change in appearance due to the high temperature of the searing, there was no significant difference in juiciness, water content, and cooking loss between the searing-cooked and the oven-cooked steaks. However, in searing cooking, both scores of overall flavor and roast meat flavor were significantly higher than those of oven cooking. In the searing-cooked steak, the reducing sugar, which is a reactant of the Maillard reaction, was lower and Maillard-reaction products were higher than oven-cooked steak. From our results, it can be concluded that searing does not improve juiciness of the steak, but improves the flavor of beef steak due to higher levels of Maillard reaction products.

Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are food mutagens and carcinogens that are found in cooked fish, meat, and protein-rich foods. This study examined the inhibitory effect of marinades containing a Nelumbo nucifera leaf fraction on HCA formation in cooked beef steak. As a result of the Ames assay, cooked beef marinated with the N. nucifera leaf butanol fraction (2.0 g) cooked at $190^{\circ}C$ showed a 61.5% reduction in overall mutagenicity. However, these data revealed no significant difference in mutagenicity in the ethanol, ethyl acetate, or water fractions. Formation of MeIQx (2-amino-3,8 dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]-quinoxalin) and PhIP (2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]-pyridine) was inhibited 60.7-63.5%. Cooked beef marinated with the water fraction of the N. nucifera leaf significantly (p<0.05) reduced the formation of MeIQx, PhIP, and DiMeIQx (2-amino-3,4,8 trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]-quinoxaline) by 65.3, 67.6, and 73.9%, respectively. These results show that marinades containing the N. nucifera leaf fraction could be an alternative method for reducing HCA formation in cooked beef steak.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in physico-chemical characteristics of beef tenderloin steak by oven roasting at different internal temperatures. 1. Cooking time required for the internal temperatures of 60, 70 and $80^{\circ}$ of steaks were 15min, 23min and 28min, respectively, and standing time of cooked beef steaks were 10.5min at $60^{\circ}$, 9.4min at $70^{\circ}$ and 8.5min at $80^{\circ}$, respectively. 2. Total losses and evaporation losses were larges in cooked steaks at $60^{\circ}$ and $70^{\circ}$ than that of $80^{\circ}$ cooking. Total losses were 14.5% by cooking at $60^{\circ}$, 23.3% at $0^{\circ}$ and 26.6% at $80^{\circ}$ respectively. As internal temperature of meat was increased, moisture and fats content was decreased and protein content of meat was not changed.

This article try to show the results from three cooking methods of a steak in 150 g by way of roasting cooking, braising cooking, microwave cooking. I observed the cooking time, standing time and post processing temperature rice of three steaks coming to 70 $^{\circ}C$ by means of roasing, braising and microwave, respectively, The results are shown in the followings: It is shown that Microwave cooking takes the shortest cooking time and the longest standing time in each cooking intervals and also shows the high level of losses and that of drip losses as well. It is concluded that there are not much differences among the ingredients of steaks cooked in three methods but the steak cooked in microwave cooking method is shown to be low in fat containment of it.

In the results of sensory evaluation, beef steak was preferred with the highest overall acceptability while lamb steak was less preferred than pork in flavor and overall acceptability. Sensory tests were conducted to examine whether taste, aroma, or texture is the dominant contributor to people's ability to identify the animal species of meat. The meat samples used were beef, pork, and lamb. Panelists wearing eye masks ate cooked pieces, patties, and heated soups prepared from the meats of these 3 species with and without pinching their noses to regulate the aroma sensation. The results led us to the conclusion that aroma is the most important contributor to the identification of lamb meat, with texture being the 2nd most important contributor. The contribution of taste appeared much smaller than that of aroma and texture. A sensory evaluation of lamb steaks with added herbs or herbal vegetables showed that steak with ginger and rosemary was preferred as having the significantly highest overall acceptability. It was also more preferred au 3 kinds of steak with added garlic and mint, garlic and rosemary, and ginger and mint in appearance, taste and flavor, although there was no significant difference. In difference test, odor was least noticeable in lamb steak when ginger and rosemary were added. Its taste gained the highest preference level, although the difference was not significant. A sensory evaluation that measured the effect of herbs and herbal vegetables on lamb steaks showed that steak with ginger and rosemary had the significantly highest overall acceptability. The second most preferred was beef steak, which had most significantly preferred in taste, and which ranked lower than lamb in flavor with no significant differences. The difference test showed lamb steak with ginger and rosemary scored the least odor and the highest level of palatability.

Objective: Marbling or intramuscular fat (IMF) has been widely reported to directly impact the sensory acceptance of meat. This study was carried out to determine the physical and sensory characteristics of ribeye, Longissimus dorsi steaks obtained from four different cattle breeds namely Wagyu, Angus, Brahman, and Malaysian local beef, the Kedah-Kelantan (KK). Methods: The degree of marbling was determined by using an established combined camera-image analysis technique while instrumental texture determination was carried out by using Warner-Bratzler shear force analysis. Sensory evaluation of the beef steaks was performed following a quantitative descriptive analysis incorporating 10 trained consumer panelists. Results: Wagyu was found to possess the highest (p<0.05) percentage of IMF at 33.90% and the lowest shear force (raw = 5.61 N/㎟; cooked = 14.72 N/㎟) followed by Angus (20.87%), Brahman (12.17%), and KK (p<0.05, 6.86%). The difference in sensory properties of the four steaks was evident, with Wagyu appearing to be highly correlated with most sensory attributes measured namely sustained buttery, tooth-packing, chewiness, juiciness, tenderness, mouthfeel, oiliness, and overall acceptability. The Malaysian local beef, KK was found to be less acceptable (p<0.05), although most of its sensory attributes were found similar (p>0.05) in appearance, aroma, texture, juiciness, and flavour to the cooked steak from Angus and Brahman. Conclusion: This present study demonstrated the role of IMF in determining the quality and sensory acceptance of beef from different cattle breeds. These data have provided new information and further understanding on the physical and sensory quality of Malaysian local beef.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of electron beam irradiation and cooking temperature on physico-chemical characteristics and lipid oxidation of beef. A total of six beef carcasses ($280\∼300 kg$) that were quality grade $1^{+}$(marbling score No.7, meat color No.4, maturity No.1, texture No.1) was purchased at the commercial slaughter house. The carcasses were transported and washed using high pressure water, and pasteulized with $ 50\% $ ethyl alcohol in the laboratory. After the carcasses were deboned and trimmed, loin and round were taken out to make steak (1.5cm thickness) or ground beef respectively. Samples were wrap or vacuum packaged and irradiated with 0, 3, 4.5, 6 and 7.5 kGy using electron-beam accelerator at Samsung Heavy Industries Ltd. Co. (in Taejun). Irradiated samples were cooked with different methods(electronic pan and gas oven) and temperatures ($ 60^{\circ}C, 70^{\circ}C and 80^{\circ}C$) and used to measure fatty acid composition, TBARS, cholesterol oxide products and panel test scores. The content of saturated fatty acids increased by increasing heating temperature in oven boiling steak (OBS) and pan boiling steak (PBS), and there was no difference by electron-beam irradiation. Both irradiated and non-irradiated treatment were high as the heating temperature increased in TBARS by heating temperature in PBS (p < 0.05) and the amount of Malonaldehyde (MA), standard of fat deterioration, was increased in OBS (p < 0.05). Non-irradiated and 3, 6 kGy treatment produced about 2 fold amount of MA at $ 60^{\circ}C $ compared with $ 80^{\circ}C $. In comparison with PBS, OBS produced much amount of MA and a bit different from non-irradiated treatment but did not show no tendency. As irradiation levels and heating temperature increased, the amount of cholesterol oxides products was increased and also pan-heating method, direct heating method, significantly increased the degree of oxidation compared with oven-heating method, indirect heating method (p < 0.05).
