Effect of slaughter weight on the quality of Nile tilapia fillets
Morais, Carlos Adriano Rocha Silva; Santana, Thaís Pacheco; Santos, Camilo Azevedo; Passetti, Rodrigo Augusto Cortêz; Melo, José Fernando BibianoThe objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of slaughter weight on the expression of calpastatin, mcalpain and the RyR3 gene, and on the chemical composition, morphometric measurements, fillet yield and sensorial characteristics of Nile tilapia fillets. In the experiment, 90 Nile tilapia were divided into three experimental treatments regarding slaughter weight (n = 30): in treatment 1, tilapia age...

Passetti, Rodrigo Augusto Cortêz; Prado, Ivanor Nunes do; Macedo, Francisco de Assis Fonseca de; Teixeira, Alfredo; Cardoso, Claudia Andréa LimaReducing slaughter age can improve meat quality and reduce costs, while an ageing process can result in more standardized products. Thus, the objective of this paper was to measure the physicochemical characteristics of dry aged meat from younger Nellore bulls slaughtered at different body weights. Twenty-four Longissimus thoracis from young bulls (14 months of age) finished in a feedlot at body weights of 350,...

Passetti, Ludmila Couto Gomes; Macedo, Francisco de Assis Fonseca de; Teixeira, Alfredo Jorge Costa; Santos, Anselmo Domingues FerreiraThe objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of slaughter body weight on the quantitative characteristics of carcasses and the yield of commercial cuts of young Nellore bulls. Twenty-four non-castrated, 11-month-old, feedlot-fed Nellore bulls were distributed in a completely randomized design, in three treatments: 350 kg, 400 kg or 450 kg of body weight at slaughter (SBW). Slaughter was performed in a ...
