TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarise the path taken to obtain consistent consumer assessment and present the MQ4 measure of consumer assessment of meat eating quality, which now forms the basis of the MSA predictive model.

TL;DR: In the early 1990s, the Australian Beef Industry identified variable eating quality as a major contributor to declining beef consumption and committed research funding to address the problem of the ability to predict the eating quality of cooked beef before consumption as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The effect of several different hormonal growth promotant (HGP) implant strategies on the palatability and carcass traits of different muscles in beef carcasses was investigated using samples from heifer and steer carcasses from a Bos indicus composite breed.

TL;DR: The effect of repeated implantation with 20mg oestradiol-17b (Compudose 100) on carcass and meat quality traits was investigated and increased carcass weights and ossification scores (P 0.05) on sensory scores, or objective meat tenderness.
