A texture profile panel was developed for measuring textural properties of restructured beef steaks differing in meat particle size. For steaks of different particle sizes, considerable differences existed in the type of sample breakdown and shape of chewed pieces after just two chews. Panelists also found restructured steaks made from large meat particle sizes to be visually more distorted and to contain more gristle than steaks made from small meat particle sizes. Several characteristics (chunkiness after two chews, coarseness of chewed mass at 15 chews) were dropped from the profile over time, while several characteristics (type of sample breakdown and shape of chewed pieces at two chews, size of chewed pieces at 10 chews) not used initially, were added. The texture profile panel approach appears suitable for discerning the textural differences in restructured steaks that can arise from using different meat particle sizes during processing.
