This experiment was designed to determine the effects of vacuum mixing and rigor state on protein extraction and functionality of beef. Beef muscles excised either pre- or postrigor from cow chucks, were ground. The pre- or postrigor ground mince with Weber-Edsall solution was mixed using 3 different mixing times in a Keebler mixer. Either vacuum or no vacuum was utilized during mixing. Following mixing, a procedure to precipitate crude myosin (CM) from each treatment was performed. Results indicate that significantly greater amounts of CM were obtained due to vacuum treatment (P 〈 0.05) and with increased time of mixing (P 〈 0.01). Comparing pre- and postrigor vacuum mixed meat, the former produced greater CM yields over time (P 〈 0.01). Protein functionality of CM fractions was evaluated using binding ability and least concentration gel tests. Mixing time caused a linear decrease in binding ability (P 〈 0.05) and an increase in the amount of protein to form a gel, irrespective of vacuum. Delineation of the functionality differences was attempted using or-helical content, thermal melting curves, and SDS-PAGE. Implication of effects of vacuum mixing duration in relation to processed meats is discussed.
