Abstract
- This study aimed to evaluate the sous-vide cooking and ficin treatment effects on the tenderness of beef steak and optimize it for the elderly using response surface methodology (RSM). The M. semitendinosus (ST) from Chikso cattle was shaped into 5 × 5 × 2.54 cm pieces. Ficin solution was injected into the ST steak at 10% of the meat weight, and sous-vide cooked in a water bath at 65 °C for 6 or 12 h. As ficin concentration increased, L* - and a* -value, shear force, and hardness decreased, while soluble peptides increased (P < 0.05). As cooking time increased, cooking loss and collagen solubility of the steak increased (P < 0.05). An interaction effect between ficin and sous-vide cooking was found in L* - and a* -value, shear force, hardness, and soluble peptides (P < 0.05). A model to optimize the hardness for elderly people was established (R2 = 0.7991). Optimization conditions by RSM were 0.86 U/L with 8.87 h (23 N/cm3) for tooth intake (grade 1), 16.31 U/L with 13.24 h (3 N/cm3) for gums intake (grade 2), according to KS H 4897 and Universal Design Foods concept for the elderly. These optimized conditions enable the production of customized products tailored to the oral conditions of elderly people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
