Our aim in covering theory on meat is to understand its
nature so that we can cook it to
perfection!

THE STUCTURE OF MEAT
Meat is made up of five main parts:
MUSCLE TISSUE
FATTY TISSUE
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
BONES
SARCOPLASM

MUSCLE TISSUE
Made up of bundles of muscle fibres which are held together by connective tissue
This is the nutritious part of the meat – provides us with
WaterProtein
FatVitaminsMinerals

Fat provides animals with energy.
As in the human body, additional fat eaten by animals is stored…
This provides a protective layer around the delicate internal organs,
A layer for insulation under the skin

And thereafter is deposited in the connective tissue of muscles and
forms marbling.
Marbled meat is more flavoursome and more tender

CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Holds the muscles together and holds muscles onto bones.

Two types of connective tissue:
Elastin Yellow & difficult to soften
Collagen White, when heated with moisture will soften and change
to gelatine
The older the animal the more connective tissue is present

BONES
Meat cooked with the bone has more flavourBones are sometimes removed as meat can
then be stuffed Bones should be used to make stock

ADVANTAGES OF STUFFING MEATImproves flavour
More interesting appearance when sliced
Easier to carve
Neater portions
Can add to moisture of dry cuts
Extends portion size

SARCOPLASM
That 'red stuff' that oozes out of the
meat is packed with nutrition!
HOW CAN SARCOPLASM BE
CONSERVED?
Never wash the meatDo not salt before
cookingTake care when thawing to prevent
drip loss
