The Impact of Degree of Doneness, Muscle Source, and Bloom Time on Cooked Color and Cooked Color Stability

This study examined the differences in color stability between three different muscles cooked to varying degrees of doneness by taking color readings at four different time points.

Steaks from longissimus lumborum (LL), psoas major (PM), and semitendinosus (ST) were cooked to medium rare (MR), medium (MED), or well done (WD) degree of doneness (DOD). Color was measured at 0, 3, 6, and 9 minutes to observe color stability changes.
