Abstract:

The effect of satay marinade on physical and textural changes of beef texture was investigated by measuring the weight gain, cooking loss and Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) of tenderloin beef cuts assigned to marinating treatments in brine solution, tamarind juice, tamarind juice plus salt and satay marinade for a period of 180 minutes at 4°C. Brine solution produced the largest effect on beef texture with a highest increase of weight gain (39.01%), and reduction of cooking loss (16.16%) and WBSF values (43.92%). Tamarind juice alone gave the least effect while moderate and insignificant differences (p>0.01) were found in the tamarind juice plus salt and the satay marinades. Correlation studies showed that the tenderness of tenderloin samples increases linearly with weight gain (p<0.05), but decreases linearly with cooking loss (p<0.05).
