Longissimus dorsi and Semitendinosus muscles from 180 crossbred steers, representing three age groups and grading Canada A, were evaluated for consistency in leanness and tenderness.

Using Canada Grade A beef, signals from a UV fiber-optic probe for connective tissues were correlated with panel scores for chewiness. Beef was tested at approximately 12 months (n = 59, carcass weight 293 ± 37 kg), 17 months (n = 54, 344 ± 43 kg), and 24 months (n = 54, 352 ± 46 kg), using rib and round steaks. From 12 to 17 months the incidence of fluorescence peaks (cm -1 ) increased,...
