The following ingredients are used in Beef Jerky: beef, salt, spices, sugar, monosodium glutamate, garlic powder, dextrose, and sodium nitrite. Two of these ingredients have animals products in them, those being beef and sugar. To process the beef, the cattle must be between the ages of 13 months to 2 years. In order to make the desired meat for beef jerky, the breed should be a black/red angus or any cattle that is grass fed. It is then taken to the slaughterhouse and is led into a 2 foot wide chute that is arched toward the end so the cattle does see what is ahead of it. At the end, the cattle is trapped in a knock box, where an item such as a rod is used to stun the animal on the head. In order to proceed, the cattle must be dead at this …show more content…
Bone char contains natural carbon, and because of this, it is used to produce the pure white color that is commonly seen in cane sugar. It is used also as the refining process, where impurities such as sulfate can be removed. After the cow is slaughtered, the bones are collected. The spine and skull, however, are not used in order to prevent disease. The bones are put into enormous chimneys located in a kiln that holds a maximum of 10 tons of bones. Oxygen and temperature play a big role in the quality of the bone char. The bones are burned at 400 degrees celsius to 500 degrees celsius; this is when the best bone char is produced. During the first five hours, the burning bones are carefully observed because the smoke reveals whether or not the bone char is ready. This process take place for 10-14 days. Next, the black, white, and grey-brownish char are separated. The black char goes through another round of charring while the white and grey-brownish char are crushed. The bone char is crushed using a crushing machine or is done by hand. Finally, the cleansing process begins. First, the bone char is washed with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to remove inorganic impurities (24 hours), then it is drained and rinsed using water to reduce the color (9 hours). After the water is drained, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) enriched water is used to reduce the pH level down to a pH level less than 8 and is then drained (18 hours). Lastly, the final …show more content…
There are three ways to extract the meat: separating liquid fat particles using a centrifuge, squeezing out fat by pressing on it, or filtering the meat. Even more processes are conducted to ensure that all unwanted items in the meat are removed, by conducting procedures such as water separation, magnet removal, and using a metal screen to shake out the undesired materials. Next, the curing solution is prepared in a large tank with mixing blades. A solution is made consisting of water, salt, seasonings, and other desired materials, and is mixed together in the tank. After the solution is heated, the solution is ready. With the defatted/deboned meat, it is then sliced into chunks and frozen. Another way to process the meat would be by grounding it using a bowl chopping machine. Following the first method, the meat is then partially melted to release its natural juices. The pieces are then saturated in the solution, and are left to to dry for a prolonged period of time so that they can fully soak in the solution. With the second method, the solution can be mixed immediately with the pieces of meat, but the quality will will not be as good. Either way, the meat is shaped into blocks and cooled to -8 to -2.2 degrees celsius (18-28 fahrenheit). When desirably frozen, the chunks are cut into strips and cut alongside the fiber to create a natural, finished look. At long last, they are placed into drying

Nearly 50 billion cheeseburgers/burgers are eaten per year, which means on average an American eats three burgers a week. My favorite meal would have to be a homemade cheeseburger with mash potatoes, fruit (strawberries and honeydew), and to top things off a fresh glass of sweet tea. All foods have their healthy and non-healthy factors but do you really know how your food is really affecting your body?

Admittedly, I have a crush on turkey burgers; and boy, have they evolved over the 80’s combo of ground meat, breadcrumbs, catsup and an egg white. Years go by.

A cooler full of ice is recommended to place the freshly cut meat into. Preferably start at the back and do one side at a time, of your choice on either side of the spine. Make cuts to through the meat until you hit the spine bone. Cut down the spine 7 inches. Cut the meat around the neck on the side of the spine that was chosen to start with. It is now time to remove the back straps. This meat is used for steaks and is mostly made of fat. Cut down through the neck, the hips and down through the ribcage. Now the meat can be placed in ziplock bags and stored away in the

Angus beef is from the Aberdeen Angus cattle that originated many years ago in Scotland. Angus was bred to endure the cold, harsh winters of the country and therefore, is a hearty breed. As a result the males and females develop significant muscle mass that provides the various cuts of it with sufficient marbling to add flavour and tenderness. Marbling content also highly influences the grading of this meat according to the Meat Standards Australia or the MSA. Australians first starting raising this breed during the 1820s, and you can find herds in almost every part of this country at present.
The meat industry today is not what it was nearly a century ago. While improvements are thought to have been made, an ever changing society has brought upon new problems that have been piled on to the previously existing ones. While these problems are not like those found in The Jungle, they do parallel how by exposing what is going on in the meat industry; new regulations would be the answer to the noted problems. The increased demand for meat has made it a rushed mutated production instead of a means to raise livestock for consumers. Taking into consideration the demand for cheap meat that will be used for in quick and high demanded products such as frozen and fast food, this demand of meat has greatly skyrocketed. Animals whose sole
Lab-grown meat, otherwise known as synthetic meat, or cultured meat is made “using muscle tissue from animal stem cells in a lab rather than harvesting from livestock” (Hultin). Consuming lab-grown meat will be healthier than traditional meats. Vitamins and minerals could be enhanced in lab-grown meats, the unhealthy components such as saturated fat could be decreased in lab-grown meats, and diseases and pathogens that come from animals could be eliminated in lab-grown meats (Hultin). By removing the unhealthy elements and keeping the beneficial nutrients of lab-grown meats will help to sustain Earth’s growing population if there was an issue with food security. Also, producing lab-grown meats will positively impact the environment. As stated by Ginger Hultin, a Spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and
