Similarly, De Geer et al. (2009) and Ahnström et al. (2006)did not report any sensory tenderness dif-ference between D aged and SB aged steaks.In our study, connective tissue amount, overall tenderness, flavor, and off flavor intensity were not affected (P>0.05) by any treatment or treatment combinations (Table 3). Smith et al. (2008)similarly reported no differences in overall like scores between D aged and W aged steaks, but, Choice steaks had a higher overall like score than Select steaks.
