Abstract: This study was focused on the sensory properties and processing characteristics of bull beef from two Chinese cattle breeds: Qinchuan and Luxi. Striploin and knuckle were selected as the research objects. The results showed that the lightness (L* value) and redness (a* value) of Luxi cattle beef were significantly higher than those of Qinchuan cattle beef. No significant differences were observed in the juiciness and shear force of beef from Qinchuan cattle and Luxi cattle. The drip loss (1.33%) and cooking loss (30.76%) of Qinchuan cattle beef were significantly lower (P<0.05) than those of Luxi cattle beef (2.12% and 48.30%, respectively). Gel properties of Qinchuan cattle beef was better than those of Luxi cattle beef while Luxi cattle beef had better emulsifying properties than Qinchuan cattle beef.

Key words: beef, juiciness, shear force, gel, emulsifying capacity
