A production report on investigation of Beef quality from super shop and retail market in Chattogram, Bangladesh

Abstract

10 beef samples were collected from super shops and retail markets in Chattogram, Bangladesh to investigate hygienic measurement of beef. From these 10 samples of beef we estimate pH, Water Holding Capacity(WHC), Extract Release Volume(ERV). For these purposes, we measure pH by pH meter( ORION STAR A211 model,made in Indonesia ), WHC by compression method and ERV through filter paper. The pH range is between 5.38 - 6.42. The average pH is 5.69. The range of water holding capacity is between 3.46 - 21.63 cm square .The average value of WHC is 9.08 cm square. The range of minimum and maximum value of Extract release volume is 15 - 26 ml . The average value of Extract release volume is 20.95 ml. All the data analysed by Excel.
