Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar el efecto del biotipo, la edad al sacrificio, la condición sexual y el sistema de alimentación sobre la dureza de cuatro cortes comerciales: Lomo (Longissimus dorsi), Bota (Biceps femoris), Muchacho (Semitendinosus) y Paletero (Infraspinatus), provenientes de 50 bovinos pertenecientes a sistemas de doble propósito del trópico alto en el departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia. Para la obtención de los valores en este atributo se emplearon los métodos de medición instrumental de fuerza de corte con cuchilla de Warner-Bratzler y la evaluación sensorial, cuya correlación fue del 71%. Esto permitió la elaboración de una escala de dureza en la cual los cortes Lomo y Paletero se ubicaron en la categoría de “suave” (blando) y se comportaron estadísticamente igual en ambos métodos de medición, mientras que los cortes Bota y Muchacho se ubicaron en la categoría de “medio” y tuvieron diferencias estadísticas de acuerdo con la percepción dada por el panel sensorial. Así mismo, los resultados obtenidos mostraron diferencias significativas entre los cortes, destacando al Paletero por su menor valor de dureza y comportamiento similar al Lomo. Efectos significativos sobre la dureza de la carne fueron encontrados para todos los factores a excepción de la edad, lo cual muestra la influencia que tienen estos y su manejo en finca sobre la calidad de la carne.
This study aimed to determine the effect of biotype, slaughter age, sexual condition and feeding system on the four commercial meat cuts hardness: Lomo (Longissimus dorsi), Bota (Biceps femoris), Muchacho (Semitendinosus) and Paletero (Infraspinatus), from 50 bovines belonging to dual-purpose systems of the high tropics in Cundinamarca, Colombia. To obtain the values of this attribute, the Warner-Bratzler blade cutting force (FWB) instrumental measurement methods and sensory evaluation were used, with 71% of correlation. This allowed the elaboration of a hardness scale in which the Lomo and Paletero meat cuts were in the category of “soft” and behaved statistically the same in both measurement methods, while Bota and Muchacho meat cuts were in the category of “medium” and had statistical differences according to the sensory panel perception. Likewise, the results showed significant differences between the meat cuts, highlighting Paletero due to lower hardness value and behavior similar to the Lomo meat cut. Significant effects on the meat toughness were found for all factors, except age, which shows the influence that these and their farm management have on the quality of the meat.
