A Measure of the Quality and Acceptance of Beef Liver: 1. An Objective Method of Determining the Quality of Beef Liver. 2. The Influence of Color and Conformation Upon the Acceptance of Beef Liver

Abstract

Two studies indicate that the grading of beef livers can be performed objectively by means of the ratio between two height measurements taken at specific points. The ratio of 0.50 between the shorter height and the taller height (Height2/Height1) was adequate to allow the selection of high quality livers. The conformation of the liver was found to be highly significant in the selection of liver for quality as indicated by taste panel preference socres. Color was insignificant in the selection of beef liver.
