In terms of sensory quality, the carcasses chilled by means of the
conventional method had a significantly higher meat tenderness (p ≤
0.05) and flavor (p ≤ 0.01) compared to the blast-chilled carcasses
(Table 5). Analysis of LL muscle sensory characteristics depending on
carcass conformation class showed no significant differences in most
traits except flavor. The meat of U class carcasses had a significantly
(p ≤ 0.05) better flavor than the meat from S class carcasses. Based on
themean values,we observed a tendency that the higher the conformation,
the lower the tenderness and juiciness of the meat.
