1. Why doesn't raw meat release liquid when sliced?

2. Why does cooked meat release liquid when sliced?

3. How does resting meat affect its tenderness? Why?

4. How does meat that is sliced immediately after cooking differ from meat that is allowed to rest for 40 minutes? What explains this difference? Which of these meats would be more tender? Why?

Expert Solution

Ans 1. Meat / flesh of animals is consists of muscle tissues rich in protein, fat and water. Raw meat/ muscles contains around 70% water also called as myowater which remain bound with proteins like myoglobin in muscles.

Thus when meat is sliced, water will not release because water remain bound with protein and also present between small spaces/ by capillary action in the muscular tissues.

Ans 2. When cooked and aged meat is cut then it release water because protein looses the water holding capacity after cooking. Hence it flow out water as liquid, mainly red colored due to presence of myoglobin protein pigment.

Ans. 3 After cooking, resting meat will increase the tenderness of meat since meat absorb water on resting and become juicy.

Ans 4. The meat which allowed to rest after cooking will become more tender due to re-absorption of moisture and become juicy and good platable then the one which was not on rest. When meat is rested, it cools slightly and the muscle fibers relax slightly allowing some liquid / water to absorbed back into the fibers. If meat is sliced just after cooking then less tender cuts of meat will be produce since collagen protein dissolves in hot water while cooing.

2) a) why does conservation of momentum only require 0 net external forces and doesn't care about internal forces? b) a stationary incendiary bomb explodes into 3 pieces with masses m1, m2, m3. If right after the explosion (so ignore gravity) pieces one and two have velocities (v1x,v1y) and (v2x, v2y), what is the velocity of piece three? Why does this explosion not conserve mechanical energy? How can you get an explosion that conserves mechanical energy? 3) A simple harmonic...

2. a)Frances Redi disproved spontaneous generation by designing a controlled experiment where he placed raw meat in six (6) jars. He covered three jars with a fine net and left three jars open. After a short period, maggots appeared in the open jars while the covered jars had no maggots. In your opinion, what additional controls and measurements could Frances Redi have done to prove that rotting of raw meat is caused by live bacteria? b)Microorganisms were inoculated on two...

1. Why organic solvent is often used in liquid-liquid extraction? 2. Name the adverse effects which occur when a trayed absorption tower operates at too high and too low vapor flow rate? 3. Component separation involving two or more phases (regardless of technique) occurs because systems want to achieve equlibrium and as a result, mass transfer occurs. In a scenario where this mass transfer is particularly slow, would it be more accurate to model a system based on phase equlibrium...

What does it mean if a company WACC doesn't drop much when you drop the risk free rate by 5%? Initial WACC was - 4.85% then dropped the risk free rate from 0.12% to 0.07% meaning I also dropped the cost of debt from 0.12% to 0.07% (is this correct)? Which gave me a new WACC of 4.77% which doesn't seem like a big change to me?
