Influence of toughness of Santa Inês lamb meat in consumer evaluation Tenderness is an important meat quality trait for consumers. However, there is no specific data in the impact of Santa Inês lamb meat tenderness on Brazilian consumers perception. Therefore, objective was to verify the consumer evaluation of lamb meat with different shear force. We used eight Santa Inês lambs that were fed the same diet. These animals of 5 to 6 months of age and weighing 30 to 35 Kgwere slaughtered and their half carcasses were used to obtain 16 samples of Longissimus dorsi (LD). These were randomly assigned among four diferent postslaughter (PS) managements. The LD used for obtaining Toughened Meat (TM) were removed immediately after slaughter (0h ps) and samples for the other managements were obtained from boning at 24h PS. The samples from TM consisted in wrapping excised LD in plastic bag and dipping it into water bath with ice at 0°C for two hours, followed by freezing. Fresh Meat (FM) was obtained from LD removed at boning (24 hours postmortem), followed by wrapping and freezing. And some of steaks obtained at 24 hours were vaccumm packaged and aged at 1 °C for three or seven days, which compose the aging (A) postmortem, A3 and A7, respectively. The sarcomere length (SL), shear force (SF), myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI), as well as sensory analysis of tenderness, juiciness and overall quality acceptance by 50 not trained consumers using hedonic scale of nine points, were obtained. The SL was 1.44 μm for TM, significantly (P<0.05) shorter than the other treatments. The values of 1.84, 1.89, 1.85 (SEM=0,09) μm for FM, A3 and A7, respectively, didn’t differ and are values normally reported for post-rigor lamb meat. MT reached an average 7.2 kgf for SF, significantly (P <0.05) higher than 3.3, 3.1, 2.4 (SEM= 0,44) observed for FM, A7 and A3, respectively. As for the MFI, post-slaughter processes had difference between TM and A7 (P<0.05), with IFM 76.2 and 130.5, while FM and A3 did not differ between cases with values 97.9; 115.6; (SEM = 11.41), respectively. Samples from TM received the lowest scores (P<0.01) for all items assessed in sensory analysis, and texture 5.43, juiciness 6.51 and overall quality 5.92, the other treatments were notes above 7 for all traits, but not significantly different (P<0.01). Consumers were able to understand and evaluate negatively the tenderness of lamb that showed high shear force compared to meat with values at low levels, which characterize as tender. It was concluded that consumers will perceive and evaluate negatively lamb meat with high shear force value. However, the results are not conclusive whether smaller differences between tough and tender meat would still have impact on not trained consumer acceptance.
