The ostrich meat – an updated review. I. Physical characteristics of ostrich meat
Journal Title: Animal Science Papers and Reports - Year 2011, Vol 29, Issue 1
Abstract
The presented Part I of the review provides current information about colour, flavour and aroma, tenderness, pH, water-holding capacity and drip loss, shelf-life and microbial load, cold shortening and cooking losses of ostrich meat which is darker and contains more redness compound compared to the beef or pork. On average, ostrich meat has been classified as intermediate with regular (<5.8) to high (>6.2) pH as measured 24 h post-slaughter, generally with a rapid decline of pH. Tenderness of ostrich meat depends on type of muscle from which it originates. Its water-holding capacity is lower compared to pork or chicken meat, but similar to veal and beef. Cited are 60 references.
