| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this work is the characterization of consumers' preferences for Transmontana Milk-fed kid meat, which is a Protected Origin Designation (POD) product. The effects of sex and carcass weight were studied. Parameters of taste, texture, juiciness and overall acceptability were evaluated on sixty males and females allocated to 3 carcass weight groups: 4, 6 and 8 kg. Animals were grouped by sex and carcass weight in 6 different groups: 4 kg females, 4 kg males. 6 kg females, 6 kg males, 8 kg females and 8 kg males. Sensory quality of meat was evaluated by a consumer's panel in a total of 1360 answers, in ten sessions. Meat was previously cooked in a conventional oven. Then it was cut in sample pieces and given to the panel members to be evaluated following a standard methodology. Cabrito Transmontane POD includes animals from 4 to 9 kg carcass weight. Even so, differences among them can be important, since both taste panel and consumer's panel found differences between animals from different weights. Meat from lighter carcasses was considered by the taste panel as more tender, with less flavour and odour intensity than heavier animals. Consumers from the panel preferred lighter carcasses. in all sensory parameters studied. The results indicate to Breed Association to sell young animals to produce light carcasses according to consumer preferences in a better way to reduce costs with a higher market price and not competing with the milk production fundamental to produce a cheese also with protected origin designation. In fact, this may conduct to higher profitability since lighter animals have higher market price. | |
