ObjectivesThe objective was to determine the ability to detect differences in cook loss and Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) value between chops aged for differing time periods and cooked to varying degrees of doneness in a sous-vide style cooker.Materials and MethodsLoins (n = 68) from pigs humanely slaughtered at the University of Illinois Meat Science Laboratory were separated between the 10th and 11th rib into anterior and posterior sections. The posterior section was cut into 6 separate 2.54 cm thick chops. The middle 4 chops were randomly designated for aging of 3 d and cooked to 63°C, aged 7 d and cooked to 63°C, aged 14 d and cooked to 63°C, or aged 14 d and cooked to 71°C. Chops (n = 272) were cooked by placing them in a water bath with an immersion circulator set to the desired end-point temperature for 90 min. Cook loss was calculated for each chop by measuring initial and final weight, and accounting for packaging weight. Four cores measuring 1.25 cm in diameter were cut parallel to the muscle fibers from each chop and analyzed for WBSF. Data were analyzed using a 1-way ANOVA. Least squares means were separated using the probability of difference (PDIFF) option in the MIXED procedure of SAS.ResultsCook loss increased as aging period or degree of doneness increased. Among chops cooked to 63°C, chops aged 3 d had 1.14% units less (P < 0.01) cook loss than those aged 7 d, and chops aged 7 d had 1.13% units less (P < 0.01) cook loss than those aged 14 d. Among chops aged for 14 d, chops cooked to 71°C had 10.06% units greater (P < 0.001) cook loss than chops cooked to 63°C. Differences in tenderness were also detected between aging periods. Among chops cooked to 63°C, chops aged 3 d required 0.27 kg more (P = 0.02) force to shear than those aged 7 d, but chops aged 7 d did not differ (P = 0.15) from those aged 14 d. End-point cooking temperature had a greater effect on tenderness, with chops aged 14 d and cooked to 71°C requiring 0.83 (P < 0.001) kg more force than those aged 14 d and cooked to 63°C. Previous studies have reported a decrease in Warner-Bratzler shear force between 7.10–21.29% when comparing early (1–3 d) and mid (7 or 9 d) aging and decreased between 3.53–15.38% when comparing mid and late (14–21 d) aging. In the present study, Warner-Bratzler shear force decreased 9.00% from early-to-mid aging and 5.86% from mid-to-late aging.ConclusionOverall, these data indicate sous-vide is an acceptable cooking method for use in experiments as expected differences in cook loss and WBSF were detected in chops aged to differing time points or cooked to differed degrees of doneness.

Abstract The objective was to determine the ability to detect differences in cook loss and Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) values between chops aged for differing time periods and cooked to varying degrees of doneness with in a sous-vide style cooker. Loins from pigs (HCW = 96 kg) humanely slaughtered at the University of Illinois Meat Science Laboratory were separated between the 10th and 11th rib into anterior and posterior sections. The posterior section was cut into 6 separate 2.54-cm-thick chops. The middle 4 chops were randomly designated for aging of 3 d and cooked to 63 °C, aged 7 d and cooked to 63 °C, aged 14 d and cooked to 63 °C, or aged 14 d and cooked to 71 °C. Chops were cooked by placing them in a water bath with an immersion circulator set to the desired end-point temperature for 90 min. Cook loss was calculated for each chop by measuring initial and final weight, and accounting for packaging weight. Four cores measuring 1.25 cm in diameter were cut parallel to the muscle fibers from each chop and analyzed for WBSF. Data were analyzed using a 1-way ANOVA. Least squares means were separated using the probability of difference option in the MIXED procedure of SAS. Among chops cooked to 63 °C, chops aged 3 d has less (P < 0.01) cook loss than those aged 7 d, and chops aged 7 d had less (P < 0.01) cook loss than those aged 14 d. Among chops aged for 14 d, chops cooked to 71 °C had greater (P < 0.001) cook loss than chops cooked to 63 °C. Differences in tenderness were also detected between aging periods. Among chops cooked to 63 °C, chops aged 3 d required more (P = 0.02) force to shear than those aged 7 d, but chops aged 7 d did not differ (P = 0.15) from those aged 14 d. Chops aged 14 d and cooked to 71 °C required (P < 0.0001) more force than those aged 14 d and cooked to 63 °C. Overall, these data indicate that sous-vide is an acceptable cooking method for use in experiments as expected differences in cook loss and WBSF were detected in chops aged to differing time points or cooked to differed degrees of doneness.

Three cooking methods (conventional oven roasting, sous vide and high pressure processing) were compared for their impact on toughness of bovine M. semitendinosus. Oven roasting resulted in the greatest cooking loss (31%) and highest Warner-Bratzler peak shear force (103N) as a result of the greatest shrinkage of the myofibrils and greatest loss of water (via shrinkage and through the dry cooking environment). Sous vide and HPP resulted in similar, low, cooking loss (19% and 17% respectively) with similar shrinkage of the myofibrils. The increased gelatinisation of the connective tissue when using HPP processing resulted in the least toughening of the meat with a peak shear force of 54N compared to (46N for the raw meat). Sous vide cooking also resulted in gelatinisation of the connective collagen, though not to the same extent as HPP, leading to a relatively tender sample with a peak shear force of 75N. Microstructural analysis using light and scanning electron microscopy revealed the structural changes occurring during cooking including shrinkage and increasing crimp of the fibrils. Environmental SEM in particular was able to show the enhanced gelatinisation resulting from HPP processing.

Beef Muscles

A total of 36 steer carcasses (18 slaughtered in Australia and 18 slaughtered in Korea), where one side had been suspended by the hip (tenderstretch) and the other by the Achilles tendon were used to provide sensory and shear force samples from the Mm. triceps brachii, longissimus lumborum and semimembranosus. Sensory samples were cooked using grill (25 mm thick) and barbeque (BBQ, 4 mm thick) methods and served to 360 untrained Australian and 720 untrained Korean consumers. Australian consumers sensory tested grill and BBQ samples from Australian carcasses (216 samples), while Korean consumers sensory tested grill and BBQ samples from both Australian and Korean carcasses (a total of 432 samples). The three-way interaction between carcass suspension, cooking method and muscle was significant (P < 0.05) for tenderness, overall liking and a composite palatability score (MQ4), where the combination of BBQ cooking and hip suspension resulted in large increases in sensory scores for the M. semimembranosus. Variation in sensory scores and shear force are discussed in the context of possible interactions with cooking temperature. There was a significant (P < 0.05) first order interaction between consumer group and muscle for juiciness score. Consumer effects were significant (P < 0.05) for all sensory scores, being largest for juiciness (~8 sensory units), like flavour and overall liking (both ~6 sensory units) and MQ4 (~5 sensory units) scores, with the smallest effect on tenderness (~2 sensory units).

By examining folk music activities connecting students and local musicians during the early 1960s at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, this article demonstrates how university geographies and musical landscapes influence musical activities in college towns. The geography of the University of Illinois, a rural Midwestern location with a mostly urban, middle-class student population, created an unusual combination of privileged students in a primarily working-class area. This combination of geography and landscape framed interactions between students and local musicians in Urbana-Champaign, stimulating and complicating the traversal of sociocultural differences through traditional music. Members of the University of Illinois Campus Folksong Club considered traditional music as a high cultural form distinct from mass-culture artists, aligning their interests with then-dominant scholarly approaches in folklore and film studies departments. Yet students also interrogated the impropriety of folksong presentation on campus, and community folksingers projected their own discomfort with students’ liberal politics. In hosting concerts by rural musicians such as Frank Proffitt and producing a record of local Urbana-Champaign folksingers called Green Fields of Illinois (1963), the folksong club attempted to suture these differences by highlighting the aesthetic, domestic, historical, and educational aspects of local folk music, while avoiding contemporary socioeconomic, commercial, and political concerns. This depoliticized conception of folk music bridged students and local folksingers, but also represented local music via a nineteenth-century rural landscape that converted contemporaneous lived practice into a temporally distant object of aesthetic study. Students’ study of folk music thus reinforced the power structures of university culture—but engaging local folksinging as an educational subject remained for them the most ethical solution for questioning, and potentially traversing, larger problems of inequality and difference.

For over two centuries, the College was the characteristic form of higher education in the United States, and the College was closely allied to the church in a predominantly Protestant land. The university became the characteristic form of American higher education starting in the late nineteenth Century, and universities long continued to reflect the nation's Protestant culture. By about 1900, however, Catholics and Jews began to enter universities in increasing numbers. What was the experience of Jewish students in these institutions, and how did authorities respond to their appearance? These questions will be addressed in this article by focusing on the Jewish presence at the University of Illinois in the early twentieth Century. Religion, like a red thread, is interwoven throughout the entire fabric of this story.
