Notes:
Ground beef and ground pork were cooked for 15 min on an electric griddle heated to a surface temperature of 121°C. Cooking reduced the total free amino acid (FAA) content from 25.23 to 17.60 mg/25g fresh weight in pork and from 32.77 to 30.09 mg/25g fresh weight in beef. Sixteen FAA were detected in both beef and pork; most individual FAA decreased during heating. Residues remaining after extraction of FAA from raw pork, when rehydrated (70% moisture) and heated (121°C, 15 min), contained only trace amounts of FAA. Free amino acids apparently were not produced under the cooking conditions employed in this study.
