Summary

bull

To obtain composItion datil and related information on boneless beef used in feeding proglI1Jlls of the United States ATmed Services studies were made of 4-wl1Y boneless beef from 8 representative cnrshycasses IllW Bnd cooked and including relattd items from preparation and cooking of beef in plate waste in It limited number of beef roasts from general issue cooked and served in Army messes j and of 4-way boneless beef representative of large-senle regular issue cooked and served in Army messes in 5 field locntions All the beef was cut acshycording to Army specifications which eall for the processing of the curcnss to provide 7 boneless cuts for oven Toasts or griddle-broiled steaks 5 cuts for pot roasts or Swiss steaks diced meat for stew and ground meflt for such recipes as hamburger and meat lonf

DUling the cutting of the 8 curcasses the yields by weight of the various Ctits were obtnined The proximate composition of the cuts raw nnd cooked was determined by annlysisj a cut from one side was uscmiddotd as the rnw sumple and the corresponding cut from the other side wus cooked On a carcass busis food energy retention in the cooked cuts WHS 85 percent protein 94 percent und fat 82 percent

At one locution n study wus ulso made of the effect on plate waste of trimming surfuce fut from oven roasts before cooking Roasts from general procurement sources of the Army were used It was found thut modernte trimming decreused fat in plate waste without apparent reduction in fat presumed eaten Fat trimming by the meat processors would imply reduction not only of fat losses in the kitchen and during cooking but also of weight to be handled und stored in valuable freezing space

In the field study the composition of boneless beef raw cooked and served and of the corresponding plute waste was determined fron1 samples involving 52682 pounds of raw boneless beef cooked and

served in 542 Army messes to 109682 men Plate waste increased with the amount of raw beef issued to the mess and fat in plate waste bull increased with fat in the served cooked beef The amounts of beef in plate waste were not always significantly correlated with the amounts of raw bed issued i however the percentages of fat in the plate waste were significantly correlated with the percentnges of fat in the cooked beef It was calculated that 67 percent of the food energy of the issued beef 84 percent of the protein and 51 percent of the fat were eaten 10 6 and 11 percent of the issued beef food energy protein nnd fat respectively nppeared in the plate waste It was also calcushylated that 7 perc(llt of the food energy 9 percent of the protein and 6 percent of tIw fat in the issued beef wlre left ns unserved edible beef at the sening table

Introduction

The meat slryings in tIl( feeding programs of the AnIled Services furnish a lnrge part of the required protein and fnt and hence of the

I total food energy proyided by the diet To an infcuasing extent beef I procurement is shifting from carcass beef toward frozen boneless beef

which offers advantnges ill handling nnd transportation Avnilnble data on the nutritiye vnlue of the various cuts of carcass

beef are not applicable to the cuts and forms of boneless beef This study was planned therefole to obtnin composition data directly on 4-way boneless beef cut nnd packN according to United States Army specifications Analyses were made on raw beef as issued and as cooked by Army personnel with AmlY equipment

While the eu ts made to meet Army specifications for boneless beef arc not nccessnrily identicnl with those in civilian markets the data bull reported here nre npplictble to hotlsehold and institutionnl use Restaurants hospitals and other institutions feeding large numbers of people use considelnble quantities of boneless beef Furthermore the present study provides datn which permit relating the nutritive vnlue of boneless bed to cnrenss beef

The studies here reported were Cltrried out during 1951-53 In 1951 boneless beef wns obtained from eight representative cnrcasses of Army grnde B (equivalent to U S Choice) 1he yields of cuts and forms of boneless beef fat trim waste trim and bones were obtnined from these carcasses The cuts from one side of the carcass were nnaIyzed raw for comparison with cuts from the other side after they were cooked according to stnndardized procedures and recipes The whole of the rnw beef cut and of the cooked beef cut wns taken for the sample to be annlyzed

Because plnte waste is a problem of those responsible for the feeding of Army personnel a special study of plate waste from oven roasts was mnde during the first year This included observations of the effect of trimming surface fat to ~ inch before cooking OIl the amount of fat appearing in plate waste Fat discarded ns wuste from the tnble has taken up valuable freezing space and otherwise added to the costs of beef handling Since at is an important source of food energy plate bull

During the second year 1952-53 composition data were obtained on boneless beef ItS actually issued cooked and served in Army messes The 52682 pounds of honeless beef used fOm 560000 pounds made availnble at th( time of th( study represented actual Army supply fOm 6 different processors vf boneless beef in different areas The 542 company mess meals were served to 109128 men in 5 locations The lttlge-scale operation involvmiddoted carloads of beef and thousands of mcn and was planned in great detail in ord(L to determine not only the nmounts nnd composition of the beef served but nlso the nmQlmts of protein fnt and food energy in the portion eaten

Cuts and Forms of 4-Way Boneless Beef

Beef cut n~cordillg to rnililnry specifications is known as 4-way beef so called because the carcttss is processed to provide boneless cuts and fonns for 4 difle[()llt types of cooked beef-ronsts or steaks cooked by dly hent roasts or stcnks cooked by moist hent ment for stews and Ill(nt for sllch dishes as m(nt lonves and hambwmiddotgers The cuts aud fOlms comprise the following

Procedures

The source of beef used in part I of the study consisted of eight carcasses of grnde B selected and graded by representatives in Chicago of the Veterinary Division Office of The Surgeon General at the plant of a huge commercial packer

Yeights of carcasses and weights and identity of all forms and cuts of boneless beef and other parts were recorded by carcass number and side during the carcass cutting The beef was wrapped and boxed for freezing and subsequent shipping to Fort Lee Va where the cooking was done ith equipment made wailable by the Army and according toprocednres and recipes given in the Army and Air Force manual on recipes (5)

In order to control sampling of beef used for analysis plans were made to take a cut from one side as the raw sample and the correspondmiddot ing cut of the same cnrcass from the other side for the sample to be cooked The distribution plan is given (table 1) For the cuts designated roasts or steaks 4 carcasses selected at random were used for roasts while the remaining 4 were used for steaks

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Summary

bull

To obtain composItion datil and related information on boneless beef used in feeding proglI1Jlls of the United States ATmed Services studies were made of 4-wl1Y boneless beef from 8 representative cnrshycasses IllW Bnd cooked and including relattd items from preparation and cooking of beef in plate waste in It limited number of beef roasts from general issue cooked and served in Army messes j and of 4-way boneless beef representative of large-senle regular issue cooked and served in Army messes in 5 field locntions All the beef was cut acshycording to Army specifications which eall for the processing of the curcnss to provide 7 boneless cuts for oven Toasts or griddle-broiled steaks 5 cuts for pot roasts or Swiss steaks diced meat for stew and ground meflt for such recipes as hamburger and meat lonf

DUling the cutting of the 8 curcasses the yields by weight of the various Ctits were obtnined The proximate composition of the cuts raw nnd cooked was determined by annlysisj a cut from one side was uscmiddotd as the rnw sumple and the corresponding cut from the other side wus cooked On a carcass busis food energy retention in the cooked cuts WHS 85 percent protein 94 percent und fat 82 percent

At one locution n study wus ulso made of the effect on plate waste of trimming surfuce fut from oven roasts before cooking Roasts from general procurement sources of the Army were used It was found thut modernte trimming decreused fat in plate waste without apparent reduction in fat presumed eaten Fat trimming by the meat processors would imply reduction not only of fat losses in the kitchen and during cooking but also of weight to be handled und stored in valuable freezing space

In the field study the composition of boneless beef raw cooked and served and of the corresponding plute waste was determined fron1 samples involving 52682 pounds of raw boneless beef cooked and

served in 542 Army messes to 109682 men Plate waste increased with the amount of raw beef issued to the mess and fat in plate waste bull increased with fat in the served cooked beef The amounts of beef in plate waste were not always significantly correlated with the amounts of raw bed issued i however the percentages of fat in the plate waste were significantly correlated with the percentnges of fat in the cooked beef It was calculated that 67 percent of the food energy of the issued beef 84 percent of the protein and 51 percent of the fat were eaten 10 6 and 11 percent of the issued beef food energy protein nnd fat respectively nppeared in the plate waste It was also calcushylated that 7 perc(llt of the food energy 9 percent of the protein and 6 percent of tIw fat in the issued beef wlre left ns unserved edible beef at the sening table

Introduction

The meat slryings in tIl( feeding programs of the AnIled Services furnish a lnrge part of the required protein and fnt and hence of the

I total food energy proyided by the diet To an infcuasing extent beef I procurement is shifting from carcass beef toward frozen boneless beef

which offers advantnges ill handling nnd transportation Avnilnble data on the nutritiye vnlue of the various cuts of carcass

beef are not applicable to the cuts and forms of boneless beef This study was planned therefole to obtnin composition data directly on 4-way boneless beef cut nnd packN according to United States Army specifications Analyses were made on raw beef as issued and as cooked by Army personnel with AmlY equipment

While the eu ts made to meet Army specifications for boneless beef arc not nccessnrily identicnl with those in civilian markets the data bull reported here nre npplictble to hotlsehold and institutionnl use Restaurants hospitals and other institutions feeding large numbers of people use considelnble quantities of boneless beef Furthermore the present study provides datn which permit relating the nutritive vnlue of boneless bed to cnrenss beef

The studies here reported were Cltrried out during 1951-53 In 1951 boneless beef wns obtained from eight representative cnrcasses of Army grnde B (equivalent to U S Choice) 1he yields of cuts and forms of boneless beef fat trim waste trim and bones were obtnined from these carcasses The cuts from one side of the carcass were nnaIyzed raw for comparison with cuts from the other side after they were cooked according to stnndardized procedures and recipes The whole of the rnw beef cut and of the cooked beef cut wns taken for the sample to be annlyzed

Because plnte waste is a problem of those responsible for the feeding of Army personnel a special study of plate waste from oven roasts was mnde during the first year This included observations of the effect of trimming surface fat to ~ inch before cooking OIl the amount of fat appearing in plate waste Fat discarded ns wuste from the tnble has taken up valuable freezing space and otherwise added to the costs of beef handling Since at is an important source of food energy plate bull

Procedures

The source of beef used in part I of the study consisted of eight carcasses of grnde B selected and graded by representatives in Chicago of the Veterinary Division Office of The Surgeon General at the plant of a huge commercial packer

Yeights of carcasses and weights and identity of all forms and cuts of boneless beef and other parts were recorded by carcass number and side during the carcass cutting The beef was wrapped and boxed for freezing and subsequent shipping to Fort Lee Va where the cooking was done ith equipment made wailable by the Army and according toprocednres and recipes given in the Army and Air Force manual on recipes (5)

In order to control sampling of beef used for analysis plans were made to take a cut from one side as the raw sample and the correspondmiddot ing cut of the same cnrcass from the other side for the sample to be cooked The distribution plan is given (table 1) For the cuts designated roasts or steaks 4 carcasses selected at random were used for roasts while the remaining 4 were used for steaks

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

To obtain composItion datil and related information on boneless beef used in feeding proglI1Jlls of the United States ATmed Services studies were made of 4-wl1Y boneless beef from 8 representative cnrshycasses IllW Bnd cooked and including relattd items from preparation and cooking of beef in plate waste in It limited number of beef roasts from general issue cooked and served in Army messes j and of 4-way boneless beef representative of large-senle regular issue cooked and served in Army messes in 5 field locntions All the beef was cut acshycording to Army specifications which eall for the processing of the curcnss to provide 7 boneless cuts for oven Toasts or griddle-broiled steaks 5 cuts for pot roasts or Swiss steaks diced meat for stew and ground meflt for such recipes as hamburger and meat lonf

DUling the cutting of the 8 curcasses the yields by weight of the various Ctits were obtnined The proximate composition of the cuts raw nnd cooked was determined by annlysisj a cut from one side was uscmiddotd as the rnw sumple and the corresponding cut from the other side wus cooked On a carcass busis food energy retention in the cooked cuts WHS 85 percent protein 94 percent und fat 82 percent

At one locution n study wus ulso made of the effect on plate waste of trimming surfuce fut from oven roasts before cooking Roasts from general procurement sources of the Army were used It was found thut modernte trimming decreused fat in plate waste without apparent reduction in fat presumed eaten Fat trimming by the meat processors would imply reduction not only of fat losses in the kitchen and during cooking but also of weight to be handled und stored in valuable freezing space

In the field study the composition of boneless beef raw cooked and served and of the corresponding plute waste was determined fron1 samples involving 52682 pounds of raw boneless beef cooked and

served in 542 Army messes to 109682 men Plate waste increased with the amount of raw beef issued to the mess and fat in plate waste bull increased with fat in the served cooked beef The amounts of beef in plate waste were not always significantly correlated with the amounts of raw bed issued i however the percentages of fat in the plate waste were significantly correlated with the percentnges of fat in the cooked beef It was calculated that 67 percent of the food energy of the issued beef 84 percent of the protein and 51 percent of the fat were eaten 10 6 and 11 percent of the issued beef food energy protein nnd fat respectively nppeared in the plate waste It was also calcushylated that 7 perc(llt of the food energy 9 percent of the protein and 6 percent of tIw fat in the issued beef wlre left ns unserved edible beef at the sening table

Introduction

The meat slryings in tIl( feeding programs of the AnIled Services furnish a lnrge part of the required protein and fnt and hence of the

I total food energy proyided by the diet To an infcuasing extent beef I procurement is shifting from carcass beef toward frozen boneless beef

which offers advantnges ill handling nnd transportation Avnilnble data on the nutritiye vnlue of the various cuts of carcass

beef are not applicable to the cuts and forms of boneless beef This study was planned therefole to obtnin composition data directly on 4-way boneless beef cut nnd packN according to United States Army specifications Analyses were made on raw beef as issued and as cooked by Army personnel with AmlY equipment

While the eu ts made to meet Army specifications for boneless beef arc not nccessnrily identicnl with those in civilian markets the data bull reported here nre npplictble to hotlsehold and institutionnl use Restaurants hospitals and other institutions feeding large numbers of people use considelnble quantities of boneless beef Furthermore the present study provides datn which permit relating the nutritive vnlue of boneless bed to cnrenss beef

The studies here reported were Cltrried out during 1951-53 In 1951 boneless beef wns obtained from eight representative cnrcasses of Army grnde B (equivalent to U S Choice) 1he yields of cuts and forms of boneless beef fat trim waste trim and bones were obtnined from these carcasses The cuts from one side of the carcass were nnaIyzed raw for comparison with cuts from the other side after they were cooked according to stnndardized procedures and recipes The whole of the rnw beef cut and of the cooked beef cut wns taken for the sample to be annlyzed

Because plnte waste is a problem of those responsible for the feeding of Army personnel a special study of plate waste from oven roasts was mnde during the first year This included observations of the effect of trimming surface fat to ~ inch before cooking OIl the amount of fat appearing in plate waste Fat discarded ns wuste from the tnble has taken up valuable freezing space and otherwise added to the costs of beef handling Since at is an important source of food energy plate bull

Procedures

The source of beef used in part I of the study consisted of eight carcasses of grnde B selected and graded by representatives in Chicago of the Veterinary Division Office of The Surgeon General at the plant of a huge commercial packer

Yeights of carcasses and weights and identity of all forms and cuts of boneless beef and other parts were recorded by carcass number and side during the carcass cutting The beef was wrapped and boxed for freezing and subsequent shipping to Fort Lee Va where the cooking was done ith equipment made wailable by the Army and according toprocednres and recipes given in the Army and Air Force manual on recipes (5)

In order to control sampling of beef used for analysis plans were made to take a cut from one side as the raw sample and the correspondmiddot ing cut of the same cnrcass from the other side for the sample to be cooked The distribution plan is given (table 1) For the cuts designated roasts or steaks 4 carcasses selected at random were used for roasts while the remaining 4 were used for steaks

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Summary

To obtain composItion datil and related information on boneless beef used in feeding proglI1Jlls of the United States ATmed Services studies were made of 4-wl1Y boneless beef from 8 representative cnrshycasses IllW Bnd cooked and including relattd items from preparation and cooking of beef in plate waste in It limited number of beef roasts from general issue cooked and served in Army messes j and of 4-way boneless beef representative of large-senle regular issue cooked and served in Army messes in 5 field locntions All the beef was cut acshycording to Army specifications which eall for the processing of the curcnss to provide 7 boneless cuts for oven Toasts or griddle-broiled steaks 5 cuts for pot roasts or Swiss steaks diced meat for stew and ground meflt for such recipes as hamburger and meat lonf

DUling the cutting of the 8 curcasses the yields by weight of the various Ctits were obtnined The proximate composition of the cuts raw nnd cooked was determined by annlysisj a cut from one side was uscmiddotd as the rnw sumple and the corresponding cut from the other side wus cooked On a carcass busis food energy retention in the cooked cuts WHS 85 percent protein 94 percent und fat 82 percent

At one locution n study wus ulso made of the effect on plate waste of trimming surfuce fut from oven roasts before cooking Roasts from general procurement sources of the Army were used It was found thut modernte trimming decreused fat in plate waste without apparent reduction in fat presumed eaten Fat trimming by the meat processors would imply reduction not only of fat losses in the kitchen and during cooking but also of weight to be handled und stored in valuable freezing space

In the field study the composition of boneless beef raw cooked and served and of the corresponding plute waste was determined fron1 samples involving 52682 pounds of raw boneless beef cooked and

served in 542 Army messes to 109682 men Plate waste increased with the amount of raw beef issued to the mess and fat in plate waste bull increased with fat in the served cooked beef The amounts of beef in plate waste were not always significantly correlated with the amounts of raw bed issued i however the percentages of fat in the plate waste were significantly correlated with the percentnges of fat in the cooked beef It was calculated that 67 percent of the food energy of the issued beef 84 percent of the protein and 51 percent of the fat were eaten 10 6 and 11 percent of the issued beef food energy protein nnd fat respectively nppeared in the plate waste It was also calcushylated that 7 perc(llt of the food energy 9 percent of the protein and 6 percent of tIw fat in the issued beef wlre left ns unserved edible beef at the sening table

Introduction

The meat slryings in tIl( feeding programs of the AnIled Services furnish a lnrge part of the required protein and fnt and hence of the

I total food energy proyided by the diet To an infcuasing extent beef I procurement is shifting from carcass beef toward frozen boneless beef

which offers advantnges ill handling nnd transportation Avnilnble data on the nutritiye vnlue of the various cuts of carcass

beef are not applicable to the cuts and forms of boneless beef This study was planned therefole to obtnin composition data directly on 4-way boneless beef cut nnd packN according to United States Army specifications Analyses were made on raw beef as issued and as cooked by Army personnel with AmlY equipment

While the eu ts made to meet Army specifications for boneless beef arc not nccessnrily identicnl with those in civilian markets the data bull reported here nre npplictble to hotlsehold and institutionnl use Restaurants hospitals and other institutions feeding large numbers of people use considelnble quantities of boneless beef Furthermore the present study provides datn which permit relating the nutritive vnlue of boneless bed to cnrenss beef

The studies here reported were Cltrried out during 1951-53 In 1951 boneless beef wns obtained from eight representative cnrcasses of Army grnde B (equivalent to U S Choice) 1he yields of cuts and forms of boneless beef fat trim waste trim and bones were obtnined from these carcasses The cuts from one side of the carcass were nnaIyzed raw for comparison with cuts from the other side after they were cooked according to stnndardized procedures and recipes The whole of the rnw beef cut and of the cooked beef cut wns taken for the sample to be annlyzed

Because plnte waste is a problem of those responsible for the feeding of Army personnel a special study of plate waste from oven roasts was mnde during the first year This included observations of the effect of trimming surface fat to ~ inch before cooking OIl the amount of fat appearing in plate waste Fat discarded ns wuste from the tnble has taken up valuable freezing space and otherwise added to the costs of beef handling Since at is an important source of food energy plate bull

Procedures

The source of beef used in part I of the study consisted of eight carcasses of grnde B selected and graded by representatives in Chicago of the Veterinary Division Office of The Surgeon General at the plant of a huge commercial packer

Yeights of carcasses and weights and identity of all forms and cuts of boneless beef and other parts were recorded by carcass number and side during the carcass cutting The beef was wrapped and boxed for freezing and subsequent shipping to Fort Lee Va where the cooking was done ith equipment made wailable by the Army and according toprocednres and recipes given in the Army and Air Force manual on recipes (5)

In order to control sampling of beef used for analysis plans were made to take a cut from one side as the raw sample and the correspondmiddot ing cut of the same cnrcass from the other side for the sample to be cooked The distribution plan is given (table 1) For the cuts designated roasts or steaks 4 carcasses selected at random were used for roasts while the remaining 4 were used for steaks

P1ate Waste from Oven Roasts Trimmed and Untrimmed

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

BONELESS BEE RAW COOKED AND SERVED 17

trimmed-beef data the amount of beef in the individual cuts for roasts or steaks (dry heat) as gh eu in table 5 were used as weighting factors The sllmmlrized data (tablo 15) thus apply to roasts or steaks as a whole Since the blade roll and the knuckle of round did not lend themselves to additional trimming the data for these cuts were included in the summary data for both the untrimmed and the trimmed cuts

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

Composition of Recoverable Items Including Plate Waste

Data on moisture protein and fot content obtained from the labo- bull rnt()ry analyses of plate waste and other recoverable items from the untrimmed an~ trimmed roasts are shown (table 16) Results summarized (table 17) show that in amounts per 100 men trimming of fat to ~ inch did not greatly affect the protein content in drippings in beef not served and in plate waste In the pan drippings the omount of fat was almost the same for untrimmed and trimmed cuts but in beef not served and in plnte waste it was less than half as much for tfimmljd cuts as for untrimmed AltogeUler the fat in drippings in beef not served and in plnte waste was ontiomiddotthird less for the trimmed than for the untrimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Introduction

The meat slryings in tIl( feeding programs of the AnIled Services furnish a lnrge part of the required protein and fnt and hence of the

I total food energy proyided by the diet To an infcuasing extent beef I procurement is shifting from carcass beef toward frozen boneless beef

which offers advantnges ill handling nnd transportation Avnilnble data on the nutritiye vnlue of the various cuts of carcass

beef are not applicable to the cuts and forms of boneless beef This study was planned therefole to obtnin composition data directly on 4-way boneless beef cut nnd packN according to United States Army specifications Analyses were made on raw beef as issued and as cooked by Army personnel with AmlY equipment

While the eu ts made to meet Army specifications for boneless beef arc not nccessnrily identicnl with those in civilian markets the data bull reported here nre npplictble to hotlsehold and institutionnl use Restaurants hospitals and other institutions feeding large numbers of people use considelnble quantities of boneless beef Furthermore the present study provides datn which permit relating the nutritive vnlue of boneless bed to cnrenss beef

The studies here reported were Cltrried out during 1951-53 In 1951 boneless beef wns obtained from eight representative cnrcasses of Army grnde B (equivalent to U S Choice) 1he yields of cuts and forms of boneless beef fat trim waste trim and bones were obtnined from these carcasses The cuts from one side of the carcass were nnaIyzed raw for comparison with cuts from the other side after they were cooked according to stnndardized procedures and recipes The whole of the rnw beef cut and of the cooked beef cut wns taken for the sample to be annlyzed

Because plnte waste is a problem of those responsible for the feeding of Army personnel a special study of plate waste from oven roasts was mnde during the first year This included observations of the effect of trimming surface fat to ~ inch before cooking OIl the amount of fat appearing in plate waste Fat discarded ns wuste from the tnble has taken up valuable freezing space and otherwise added to the costs of beef handling Since at is an important source of food energy plate bull

Procedures

The source of beef used in part I of the study consisted of eight carcasses of grnde B selected and graded by representatives in Chicago of the Veterinary Division Office of The Surgeon General at the plant of a huge commercial packer

Yeights of carcasses and weights and identity of all forms and cuts of boneless beef and other parts were recorded by carcass number and side during the carcass cutting The beef was wrapped and boxed for freezing and subsequent shipping to Fort Lee Va where the cooking was done ith equipment made wailable by the Army and according toprocednres and recipes given in the Army and Air Force manual on recipes (5)

In order to control sampling of beef used for analysis plans were made to take a cut from one side as the raw sample and the correspondmiddot ing cut of the same cnrcass from the other side for the sample to be cooked The distribution plan is given (table 1) For the cuts designated roasts or steaks 4 carcasses selected at random were used for roasts while the remaining 4 were used for steaks

PART II

P1ate Waste from Oven Roasts Trimmed and Untrimmed

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

Results

trimmed-beef data the amount of beef in the individual cuts for roasts or steaks (dry heat) as gh eu in table 5 were used as weighting factors The sllmmlrized data (tablo 15) thus apply to roasts or steaks as a whole Since the blade roll and the knuckle of round did not lend themselves to additional trimming the data for these cuts were included in the summary data for both the untrimmed and the trimmed cuts

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

Composition of Recoverable Items Including Plate Waste

Data on moisture protein and fot content obtained from the labo- bull rnt()ry analyses of plate waste and other recoverable items from the untrimmed an~ trimmed roasts are shown (table 16) Results summarized (table 17) show that in amounts per 100 men trimming of fat to ~ inch did not greatly affect the protein content in drippings in beef not served and in plate waste In the pan drippings the omount of fat was almost the same for untrimmed and trimmed cuts but in beef not served and in plnte waste it was less than half as much for tfimmljd cuts as for untrimmed AltogeUler the fat in drippings in beef not served and in plnte waste was ontiomiddotthird less for the trimmed than for the untrimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Procedures

The source of beef used in part I of the study consisted of eight carcasses of grnde B selected and graded by representatives in Chicago of the Veterinary Division Office of The Surgeon General at the plant of a huge commercial packer

Yeights of carcasses and weights and identity of all forms and cuts of boneless beef and other parts were recorded by carcass number and side during the carcass cutting The beef was wrapped and boxed for freezing and subsequent shipping to Fort Lee Va where the cooking was done ith equipment made wailable by the Army and according toprocednres and recipes given in the Army and Air Force manual on recipes (5)

In order to control sampling of beef used for analysis plans were made to take a cut from one side as the raw sample and the correspondmiddot ing cut of the same cnrcass from the other side for the sample to be cooked The distribution plan is given (table 1) For the cuts designated roasts or steaks 4 carcasses selected at random were used for roasts while the remaining 4 were used for steaks

The distribution of plotein and fat among thaw juices pan dripshypings and cooked beef is shown (table 9) The pan scrapings were smull in amount and often provided an insufficient sample for the analyses The thaw juices contained no measurable quantity of fat and relatively small amounts of protein-only 23 percent of the total protein in the raw beef Over 95 percent of the protein was found in the cooked oven roasts griddle-broiled steaks stew hamburgers and meat loaves The umount of fat in drippings was variable depending on cooking method and recipe Over 20 percent of the fat was found in drippings from oven roasts whereus the same cuts cooked as griddle-bIoiled steaks contributed only 4 percent of fat to the drippings Cuts cooked as pot Oasts and Swiss steaks contributed respectively 31 and 39 percent of their fat content to drippings hamburger and meat loaf contributed 18 and 12 percent

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

the 8 catcnsses and from the 5 Army field installatiolls is shown (table 25) Statisticnl analysis of variance of the data showed that only in tho fat content of tho ground meat was thero a real difference between the average values Tho 274 percent fat in the ground meat

Procedures

The source of beef used in part I of the study consisted of eight carcasses of grnde B selected and graded by representatives in Chicago of the Veterinary Division Office of The Surgeon General at the plant of a huge commercial packer

Yeights of carcasses and weights and identity of all forms and cuts of boneless beef and other parts were recorded by carcass number and side during the carcass cutting The beef was wrapped and boxed for freezing and subsequent shipping to Fort Lee Va where the cooking was done ith equipment made wailable by the Army and according toprocednres and recipes given in the Army and Air Force manual on recipes (5)

In order to control sampling of beef used for analysis plans were made to take a cut from one side as the raw sample and the correspondmiddot ing cut of the same cnrcass from the other side for the sample to be cooked The distribution plan is given (table 1) For the cuts designated roasts or steaks 4 carcasses selected at random were used for roasts while the remaining 4 were used for steaks

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

P1ate Waste from Oven Roasts Trimmed and Untrimmed

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

Results

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

Composition of Recoverable Items Including Plate Waste

Data on moisture protein and fot content obtained from the labo- bull rnt()ry analyses of plate waste and other recoverable items from the untrimmed an~ trimmed roasts are shown (table 16) Results summarized (table 17) show that in amounts per 100 men trimming of fat to ~ inch did not greatly affect the protein content in drippings in beef not served and in plate waste In the pan drippings the omount of fat was almost the same for untrimmed and trimmed cuts but in beef not served and in plnte waste it was less than half as much for tfimmljd cuts as for untrimmed AltogeUler the fat in drippings in beef not served and in plnte waste was ontiomiddotthird less for the trimmed than for the untrimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

The distribution of plotein and fat among thaw juices pan dripshypings and cooked beef is shown (table 9) The pan scrapings were smull in amount and often provided an insufficient sample for the analyses The thaw juices contained no measurable quantity of fat and relatively small amounts of protein-only 23 percent of the total protein in the raw beef Over 95 percent of the protein was found in the cooked oven roasts griddle-broiled steaks stew hamburgers and meat loaves The umount of fat in drippings was variable depending on cooking method and recipe Over 20 percent of the fat was found in drippings from oven roasts whereus the same cuts cooked as griddle-bIoiled steaks contributed only 4 percent of fat to the drippings Cuts cooked as pot Oasts and Swiss steaks contributed respectively 31 and 39 percent of their fat content to drippings hamburger and meat loaf contributed 18 and 12 percent

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

PART II

P1ate Waste from Oven Roasts Trimmed and Untrimmed

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

Results

trimmed-beef data the amount of beef in the individual cuts for roasts or steaks (dry heat) as gh eu in table 5 were used as weighting factors The sllmmlrized data (tablo 15) thus apply to roasts or steaks as a whole Since the blade roll and the knuckle of round did not lend themselves to additional trimming the data for these cuts were included in the summary data for both the untrimmed and the trimmed cuts

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

Composition of Recoverable Items Including Plate Waste

Data on moisture protein and fot content obtained from the labo- bull rnt()ry analyses of plate waste and other recoverable items from the untrimmed an~ trimmed roasts are shown (table 16) Results summarized (table 17) show that in amounts per 100 men trimming of fat to ~ inch did not greatly affect the protein content in drippings in beef not served and in plate waste In the pan drippings the omount of fat was almost the same for untrimmed and trimmed cuts but in beef not served and in plnte waste it was less than half as much for tfimmljd cuts as for untrimmed AltogeUler the fat in drippings in beef not served and in plnte waste was ontiomiddotthird less for the trimmed than for the untrimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

from the field study was sLnListically greater thllu the 246 perceu t fat in the ground meat frum the 8 carcasses This might be e~pected since tho amount of fat ill tho ground meat of the 8 calcnsses wns intended to average approxinmteiy 25 percent whereas the spocishyfications for tho ground ment at the time of tho 1953 field study permitted ns much as 30 petcent fnt Excopt for tho ground meat tho avernge composition of the raw boneless beef from tho 2 studios would be considered equivalent

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

PART II

P1ate Waste from Oven Roasts Trimmed and Untrimmed

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

Results

trimmed-beef data the amount of beef in the individual cuts for roasts or steaks (dry heat) as gh eu in table 5 were used as weighting factors The sllmmlrized data (tablo 15) thus apply to roasts or steaks as a whole Since the blade roll and the knuckle of round did not lend themselves to additional trimming the data for these cuts were included in the summary data for both the untrimmed and the trimmed cuts

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

Composition of Recoverable Items Including Plate Waste

Data on moisture protein and fot content obtained from the labo- bull rnt()ry analyses of plate waste and other recoverable items from the untrimmed an~ trimmed roasts are shown (table 16) Results summarized (table 17) show that in amounts per 100 men trimming of fat to ~ inch did not greatly affect the protein content in drippings in beef not served and in plate waste In the pan drippings the omount of fat was almost the same for untrimmed and trimmed cuts but in beef not served and in plnte waste it was less than half as much for tfimmljd cuts as for untrimmed AltogeUler the fat in drippings in beef not served and in plnte waste was ontiomiddotthird less for the trimmed than for the untrimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

trimmed-beef data the amount of beef in the individual cuts for roasts or steaks (dry heat) as gh eu in table 5 were used as weighting factors The sllmmlrized data (tablo 15) thus apply to roasts or steaks as a whole Since the blade roll and the knuckle of round did not lend themselves to additional trimming the data for these cuts were included in the summary data for both the untrimmed and the trimmed cuts

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

from the field study was sLnListically greater thllu the 246 perceu t fat in the ground meat frum the 8 carcasses This might be e~pected since tho amount of fat ill tho ground meat of the 8 calcnsses wns intended to average approxinmteiy 25 percent whereas the spocishyfications for tho ground ment at the time of tho 1953 field study permitted ns much as 30 petcent fnt Excopt for tho ground meat tho avernge composition of the raw boneless beef from tho 2 studios would be considered equivalent

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Procedures For the study of the effect on plate waste oC trimming external Cat

Crom beef 2076 pounds of the 7 cuts oC boneless beeC designated for oen roasts were used in serving 23 meals to 4854 men in company~ size messes at Fort Lee Va The beef was from regular procurement sources and was prepared and served by Army mess personnel using regular equipment

Specifications Cor the roasts limited external fat to ~~ inch in thickshyness The 7 cuts were cooked and served without removal cf any of this fati another 5 cuts were cooked and served with the Cat trimmed to approximately inch The blade roll and knuckle oC round were not trimmed since the fat layer did not exceed ~ inch

Physical dnta were obtained on the Collowing Weights of raw flozen beef issued to the mess thaw juices Cnt trimming cooked ment pan drippings pan scrapings meat not served and beeC in plate waste niso the number of men served All these data were calculnted to a 100-man basis

In this study no representative samples of the raw meat or the cooked meat could be obtained It was possible however to get samples of the fat trim thnw juices pan drippings beef not served nod beef in plate waste These were sent to the laboratories of the Ruman Nutrition Research Branch Agricultural Research Service United Stntes Dtpartmcnt of Agriculture Beltsville Md where they ore analyzed for moistme nitrogen and ether-extractable illt

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

trimmed-beef data the amount of beef in the individual cuts for roasts or steaks (dry heat) as gh eu in table 5 were used as weighting factors The sllmmlrized data (tablo 15) thus apply to roasts or steaks as a whole Since the blade roll and the knuckle of round did not lend themselves to additional trimming the data for these cuts were included in the summary data for both the untrimmed and the trimmed cuts

The fat trim amounted to6 percent of the average weight of the cuts As a result of trimming less fat was found in tho beef not served and in plnte waste than in these items from untrimmed cuts Approximately two-thirds more beef not served appeared from the nntrimmed cuts than from those trinuned (72 percent of the unshytrimmed beof IlS compared with 41 percent of the trimmed beef) The plato wasto WIlS approximately 38 percent moro from the unshytrimmed cuts than from those trimmed (60 percent of the untrimmed beef ns compared with 44 percent of the trimmed beef) Other items appenred unaffected by trimmina bull In each instance the cooked yield from the raw clrnined weigilt before cooking averaged about 65 percent the amounts of pan drippings and scrapings were sinlilar Cor lIutlimmod and trimmed cuts

Composition of Recoverable Items Including Plate Waste

Data on moisture protein and fot content obtained from the labo- bull rnt()ry analyses of plate waste and other recoverable items from the untrimmed an~ trimmed roasts are shown (table 16) Results summarized (table 17) show that in amounts per 100 men trimming of fat to ~ inch did not greatly affect the protein content in drippings in beef not served and in plate waste In the pan drippings the omount of fat was almost the same for untrimmed and trimmed cuts but in beef not served and in plnte waste it was less than half as much for tfimmljd cuts as for untrimmed AltogeUler the fat in drippings in beef not served and in plnte waste was ontiomiddotthird less for the trimmed than for the untrimmed cuts

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

the 8 catcnsses and from the 5 Army field installatiolls is shown (table 25) Statisticnl analysis of variance of the data showed that only in tho fat content of tho ground meat was thero a real difference between the average values Tho 274 percent fat in the ground meat

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

These findings indicate that further trimming of surface fat in the processing of beef at the packing plants would result in a saving in weight to be handled and stored in valuable freezing space without nny appreciable effect on the nutritive mlue of the beef eaten

BONELESS BEEF RAW COOKED Al~D SERVED 21

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Protein and Fat in Raw Beef From Eight Carcasses and From Field Study

bull A comparison of the protein and fat content of the raw beef from

the 8 catcnsses and from the 5 Army field installatiolls is shown (table 25) Statisticnl analysis of variance of the data showed that only in tho fat content of tho ground meat was thero a real difference between the average values Tho 274 percent fat in the ground meat

from the field study was sLnListically greater thllu the 246 perceu t fat in the ground meat frum the 8 carcasses This might be e~pected since tho amount of fat ill tho ground meat of the 8 calcnsses wns intended to average approxinmteiy 25 percent whereas the spocishyfications for tho ground ment at the time of tho 1953 field study permitted ns much as 30 petcent fnt Excopt for tho ground meat tho avernge composition of the raw boneless beef from tho 2 studios would be considered equivalent

PART III

Composition of Boneless Beef as Cooked and Served and the Amounts of Protein Fat and Food Energy in Beef or Beef Recipe Consumed

Procedures

The study of boneless beef as regularly issued cooked and served in Anny messes WitS made nt 5 widely separnted locations in the United States Camp Roberts Calif Port Leonard Wood Mo Fort Knox Ky Camp Rucker Ala and Fort Jackson S C Of a total of 5GO000 pOllnds of beef lUnde aynilable from G processors 52G82 pounds wcre issued to furnish 542 meals to 109128 men

The plan called for 28 dillerent combinations of cut or form of beef and cooking method The 7 cuts designated for roasts and steaks (dry heat) nnd the 5 designuted for ronsts and steaks (moist heat) were prepared both as roasts nnd itS steaks the diced beef was preshypared ns stew nnd the ground beef was prepared as meat loaf hamshyburgers nnd beefburgers

All kinds of Army netiYities wele represented through a statistically random selection of the compnnies Ilvnilable in each of these locations in this Wlty the companies ele distributed among the different cookshying methods and cuts 01 forms of beef Ench mess was given only 1 kind of cut to be used in a mess menl Vith 56 messes participating in 112 meals nt ench 10Clttion Hny gi(~llmess was used twice but ench time for a different cut 01 forlll of beef and cooking method With a few exceptions enell eUL 01 form and cooking method was replicated 4 times-twice at noon and twice in the evening A total of 542 meals wns sernd out of the 560 called for by tho plan The usual Army personnel cooked and served the meals [he data were recorded and the samples procured with the least possible interference with normal opern lions

Cooking methods were those designated in the manual on recipes (5) for oven rOltsls griddle-broiled steaks pot roasts Swiss steaks and ste and nlso for 3 ground meat recipes-meat loaf beefburger and hnmburgelmiddot ~[eltt lonf nnd beefburger contained added inshygredients but the hnmbllger consisted of ground beef with seasoning only In table 19 the amounts of 38 recipe ingredients arc shown in Ilerngc nmounts petmiddot 100 men rhe cooks were at liberty to prepare the beef as they normnUy would and deviations from the recipe mllnual were not uncommon 1hero was a tendency to cook pot roasts ns o-el1 ronsts

For raw samples to represent the cuts designated for oven roasts and griddle-broiled steaks and those designnetcd for pot roasts and Swiss steaks eyery 10th stenk was taken lpproximately 10 percent of the diced ment nnd 10 percent of the ground meat were also used for the raw samples Cooked samples as served were obtained by taking eyery 10th serving All of the beef in plate waste was taken as the plate-waste sample At each location samples from the messes were pooled according to cut nnd cooking method For instance 4 samples

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

average slope of the lines for griddle-broiled steaks oven roasts and hamburger (fig 2) it can be seen that the plate waste was a certain percentage of the raw weight regardless of the amount of beef issued per 100 men This may be interpreted to mean that the men ate beef even wben the issue was excessive and discarded as plate waste only that portion that would be plate waste on a much smaller issue

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

the amounts used for the men amounts taken for analysis have been deducted The averages given for roasts and steaks are weighted according to the occurrence of the individual cuts in beef designed for roasts or steaks cooked by dry heat or moist heat (table 5) For example the average issue for oven roasts 435 pounds per 100 men is a weighted value for the 7 cuts as used in 125 messes Actually there was a considerable range in the quantity of meat issued per 100 men as shown in table 21 The issued weight of beef for oven roasts for instance ranged from 283 to 814 pounds per 100 men whereas the standard of issue was 42 pounds

The amount of plate waste was found to correlate linearly with the issued weight except for ground meat (table 21 and fig 2) From the

lable 21 and figure 2 also show the expected plate waste for a standard issue For example an issue of 42 pounds of beef for oven roasts would have nn expected plate waste of 235 pounds whereas the same issue cooked as griddle-broiled steaks would have an exshypected plate waste of 442 pounds

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings

Composition Data

The composition and energy value of the raw beef of the cooked bull beef or beef recipe as served and of the corresponding plate waste have been summarized (table 22) The data show that for roasts steaks and stew the percentage of fat in the plate waste was considshyerably higher than in the beef or beef recipe served wlJereas for the ground meat recipes-meat loaf hamburger and beefburger-the percentages of fat in plate waste and in served portions were similar This was to be expected because the fat could be cut from the servings of former items but not from the latter

The percentages of fat in plate waste were correlated in all instances with the percenta~es of fat in the served portion Correlation coeffishycients linear coefficients and related data are given (table 23) data for stew are not included As shown graphically in figure 3 results from the roasts and steaks were so nearly alike that all data could be pooled to obtain a common line Statistically the data were found to have correlation coefficients that were highly significant The avershyage served roasts or steaks contained 2l4 percent fat and the correshysponding plate waste was 375 percent fat The entire plate-waste data suggest that fat was trimmed from meat servings
