Tenderstretch? What is it?
Tenderstretch is an alternative means of hanging the carcase during chilling. While carcases are traditionally hung by the heel (Achilles tendon), tenderstretch carcases are suspended by the pelvis. When a carcase is tenderstretched, the carcase is suspended by the pelvis so that the leg drops down at a 90 degrees angle. As a result, a number of muscles are held in a stretched position so they cannot contract during rigor mortis. Tenderstretch is most effective in the hindquarter and has a varying effect on each cut. It is strongly positive in most hindquarter cuts (other than eye fillet which stays the same) and largely neutral in forequarter cuts other than the rib fillet. In addition to altering the MSA score positively, tenderstretch also affects the degree and rate of aging.
Key Points
· Tenderstretch hanging improves meat tenderness by preventing muscle shortening
· The tenderstretch effect varies by muscle, with the eating quality of most hindquarter muscles improved.
· Less time required to age meat to its potential tenderness.
