Transglutaminase also known as TG, in simplest terms is “meat glue”. It’s definition according to the USDA is, “an enzyme approved for use as a binder to form smaller cuts of meat into a larger serving of meat. It is a natural substance derived from fermented bacteria, a non-toxigenic and non-pathogenic strain of the organism Streptoverticillium mobaraense.” There are many functions of TG, some of them are; to make uniform portions, combine different proteins, bind ground meat and bind non meat products. To make uniform portions of beef tenderloin you take the tail end and lay it against the head of the second piece of tenderloin and apply TG inside and it will fuse together. You can also use this method with salmon filets that are uneven. Also you can use smaller pieces of meat or fish that would normally be too small to portion out and combine them together into a tube shape that can be easily sliced into even portions. Keep in mind you should only use two or three smaller pieces to create a larger piece so it will not change texture of the meat or fish as much. To combine different proteins that have similar cooking temperatures like bacon and scallops. To wrap the bacon around the scallop and have it stick you apply the TG to the scallop and wrap it with the bacon. Making a checkerboard pattern with fish is possible with this, you take strips of different types of complimentary fish with different colors so you can see the difference. Layer them in a checkerboard
There are three ways to extract the meat: separating liquid fat particles using a centrifuge, squeezing out fat by pressing on it, or filtering the meat. Even more processes are conducted to ensure that all unwanted items in the meat are removed, by conducting procedures such as water separation, magnet removal, and using a metal screen to shake out the undesired materials. Next, the curing solution is prepared in a large tank with mixing blades. A solution is made consisting of water, salt, seasonings, and other desired materials, and is mixed together in the tank. After the solution is heated, the solution is ready. With the defatted/deboned meat, it is then sliced into chunks and frozen. Another way to process the meat would be by grounding it using a bowl chopping machine. Following the first method, the meat is then partially melted to release its natural juices. The pieces are then saturated in the solution, and are left to to dry for a prolonged period of time so that they can fully soak in the solution. With the second method, the solution can be mixed immediately with the pieces of meat, but the quality will will not be as good. Either way, the meat is shaped into blocks and cooled to -8 to -2.2 degrees celsius (18-28 fahrenheit). When desirably frozen, the chunks are cut into strips and cut alongside the fiber to create a natural, finished look. At long last, they are placed into drying
First, you spread out your ingredients on the table, open up all the packages. Then you get your pot and fill it up with water, halfway to the top. Take your meat, place it in the pot and let it boil for three hours until its tender. Be sure to add lots of salt to the meat, this will help tenderize the meat. Peel and clean all the chiles (anchos and guaillo), make sure you remove all the seeds and the veins. If you have sensitive eyes or skin, I would advise that you get some gloves and don’t touch your eyes (they are very hot and will dye your skin red and burn). Then take the chiles and pass them through a pan of oil. Boil the chiles in a separate pot from the meat. After this put the chiles in a blender and blend them with the four cloves of garlic and more salt. Separate
It is hard to imagine that there was once a time when meat and meat-like products were butchered and processed in unsanitary conditions, but there was such a time and it was so bad that Congress had to pass the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906 to stop these unsanitary conditions. In this paper I will argue why the passage of the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906 was such a good idea.
Discoveries are everywhere in everyday life and they can impact the way we see the world, either positively or negatively. Because of this, it can be noted that “Not all discoveries are welcomed”. We can explore this philosophy through the examination of various techniques found within both Robert Gray’s ‘Journey, North Coast’ and ‘The Meatworks’, as well Leo Matsuda’s animated short film, ‘Inner workings’. These three texts, although all having visual processes of discovery, offer juxtaposing perspectives on the acceptance (or lack of) towards discoveries.

Would you do anything to keep your family together? The novel Bastard out of Carolina, written by Dorothy Allison, reveals the early life of the main character, Bone. Born an illegitimate child, Bone grew up being physically and sexually abused by her step-father. The novel My Year of Meats, written by Ruth L. Ozeki, showcases the behind-the-scenes story of a reality television show, My American Wife. The show was produced by BEEF-EX, a meat company. The show was created to “create a new truism: The wife who serves meat has a kinder, gentler mate” (Allison 13). Although the novels may seem to be completely different, they both have a strong theme of family. Characters in both novels are not only forced to make decisions that affect themselves and their families, but they also make decisions based on their families’ opinions. The main characters in both novels have hidden the truth to protect their families, but they both received different outcomes.

This works well for Kamado type grills and charcoal Weber grills. For gas grills, place the smoking chips on the grill over the hot burners. You'll need at least two burners in a gas grill to setup indirect heat. Turn one burner on and place the fish on the opposite side.
We then recorded the initial color. We placed each tube in boiling water for one minute and recorded the color results and gave our conclusion. To test for starch using Lugol’s solution, we reused the test tubes and added a squirt of the solution. We recorded the final color and then our conclusion for each content. To test for lipids using paper towels, we placed a drop of solution and we let it stand for one minute. We then recorded our observation, if it was dry or not dry and wrote our conclusion for each sample. To test for proteins using Biuret’s reagent, we added a squirt of stock solution plus a few drops of Biuret’s solution. We wrote the initial color. We then shook the solution and waited for two minutes before recording the results. After the two minutes, we wrote the final color and conclusion for each content. For the unknowns, we wrote the odor and appearance of each content and then tested the benedict’s, starch, lipid, and protein test and wrote our conclusion.
Function: The function of this product is to reduce underarm wetness and control body odor. The deodorant aspect of this product reduces body odor by killing the odor-causing bacteria. The antiperspirant aspect of this product mitigates wetness by inhibiting gland sweat.
To become a meat inspector, one must have a bachelor degree in biology, mathematics, and physical or agricultural science. You must have one year of job-related experience. One year of experience in food processing, as a veterinary technician, a chef, a butcher, or a slaughterhouse worker. Cooks and chefs in commercial kitchens or restaurants also qualify if they were responsible for the safety of food handling, storage, preparation, and sanitation. The expected salary as a meat inspector is $43,630 per year. A meat inspector ensures the commercial supplies of meat, poultry, and eggs. They work full time hours. If am emergency happens, overtime, night, and weekend hours might be required. Travel can be required for meat inspectors to process
The protein that was used for this lab came from jack bean meal, and it is identified as Concanavalin A, or Con-A. This is a lectin protein that has the ability to bind with glucose, but it is not a glycoprotein. Furthermore, the monomeric molecular weight of this protein is 25,5001. Concanavalin A also exists as a dimer and a tetramer, and this depends upon the pH of this substance. Finally, Con-A requires a transition metal ion such as manganese as well as calcium ions for binding purposes.
Western Blotting can be used to detect the Myosin actin light chain in different species of fish and is used to distinguish from different species based on variation, commonality, or evolutionary divergence. First, proteins are extracted from the tissue and loaded into a gel matrix. The matrix will separate the proteins according to size using an electric current. Proteins that are separated after are blotted from the gel and onto a paper membrane. An antibody is then added to the membrane paper and causes a colored reaction. Following the reaction, the results
