Abstract | The effect of five goat genotypes, Boer×Angora (BA), Boer×Saanen (BS), Feral×Feral (FF), Saanen x Angora (SA) and Saanen x Feral (SF) on the meat quality of Capretto and Chevon carcasses obtained from 50 buck kids, was assessed. Genotype had an influence on cooking loss and longissimus thoracis muscle colour coordinates (CIE L*, a*, b* values). BS kids from the Capretto group had paler muscle colour compared to other genotypes; pale muscle colour being required for Capretto carcasses. Total pigment concentration, fat colour, shear force values and sensory scores for flavour, tenderness, juiciness and overall acceptability did not differ significantly between genotypes. Muscle colour became darker and fat colour became more yellow with increasing animal age. Tenderness decreased with animal age as indicated by higher shear force values. Age had no significant influence on cooking loss and sensory scores. |
