In the present study, BR and TS differed from VC and RE for flavor, which conflicts with the findings of Carmack et al. (1995), where the BIF ranked highest in beef flavor and the IF, LM, and SV were low in beef flavor. The hindquarter cuts exhibited more beefy flavor in their study compared to the present study. The TS had the lowest beef flavor, but itwas not on the bland side of the scale (less than 5). Kukowski et al. (2004) compared muscles fromthe chuck and rib and found the SV and COM to have higher flavor ratings compared to the ribeye. Even though not statistically different, the VCwas rated higher than the RE for flavor
